Chapter 162 No Survivors (5)

After three rounds of drinking, people will talk about... Gradually, it shifted to the owner of the villa, Mr. Owen, who had not yet appeared.

Soon, a problem was discovered, and everyone in the room... Neither seems to have seen Irving himself.

Immediately, someone asked Ichine, "Is Mr. Owen your friend, Mr. Davis?" ”

Yi Qi thought about it for a while, and decided to use the fake identity forged by the sergeant: "It's just a business, I make canned food, and the business started by providing stews to the military."

Canned food, but it helped us win the war! ”

General MacArthur nodded, "Indeed! Army food is really important......"

However, as the dinner progressed, some people... It's gradually impossible to maintain the most basic politeness.

For example... Flirty man. Marston.

Just as the general was talking about the importance of food, Marston pouted disapprovingly, and then said to Lombard, who was beside him, "Look, it's going to start again!" ”

Then Marston began to feast, seemingly not wanting to be part of the topic at all.

On the other hand, people are talking about the topic... From the can, it gradually led to the wars that took place in the past.

Hearing this, Marston couldn't help but roll his eyes and said softly: "Please, it's all the old yellow calendar of the past!" ”

……

It wasn't until the fourth course was served that Marston finally couldn't stand the talk of the crowd.

While a few of the old fellows were admiring the Rogers woman's work, Marston couldn't help but scoff, "Although she looks like a living dead, her cooking skills are really top-notch." ”

Hearing this, the three old men were all unconcerned, because all three of them could be regarded as living dead.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, the female teacher Vera immediately changed the topic and asked the housekeeper, "When will the Owen couple arrive?" Haven't they called yet? ”

"There's no telephone on the island, Miss Clethorne." The butler paused, adding, "Every morning, Mr. Narakot will bring us news, letters, and kitchen provisions.

I think tomorrow, the Owen couple will either send a telegram for him to bring or... Will come with Mr. Narakot. ”

Everyone was immersed in the food, apparently not caring too much if the Owen couple would show up.

Just as the butler was about to turn to leave, Marston suddenly stopped him: "Rogers, give that... Nalaco asked him to watch my car, and it stopped on the edge of the dock, Jensen! ”

"No problem, sir." The butler nodded, then turned and left the banquet hall.

Just when Yi Qi was about to continue watching this good show, he found that Marston suddenly turned to himself: "That... Davis, are the Owens fun-loving people? ”

Yi Qi was stunned: "Love to have fun? ”

"Yes! Because it's a bit strange, I received an invitation to a villa party. Marston thought for a moment, trying to organize the words: "Young girl, champagne, music, whatever."

Instead of talking to a group of old antiques about some old sesame seeds and rotten grains! ”

"No offense." At this point, Dr. Armstrong finally couldn't sit still and asked Marston, "Is Jensen your car?" ”

"You see it? It's a beauty! Marston's words were still frivolous, and his face was full of exaggeration: "I can't imagine that I would love someone as much as I adore him." ”

The doctor said in a calm tone, "You forced me off the road. ”

"I didn't."

"You drove me off the street." The doctor repeated it again.

"When?"

Marston had no idea that he had done anything wrong, and he didn't even glance at the doctor, still eating on his own.

At this moment, the doctor could no longer maintain his politeness, slapped the table vigorously, and said: "I was driving at the time, and you suddenly overtook my car, God knows how fast!" ”

Marston didn't care at all, but mocked: "I saw someone driving like a turtle, so I just taught him how to drive." ”

"Listen, Marston." Seeing that the banquet had become full of gunpowder, the general began to play a round game, but in his tone, he still favored the doctor: "I think as a gentleman, you should apologize and shake hands with the doctor." ”

However, Marston didn't appreciate it at all: "I didn't do anything wrong. ”

On the other hand, the doctor raised his voice: "You forced me off the road!" ”

Seeing that the doctor was furious, Marston smiled instead: "I may have overtaken your car, but my grandmother drove faster than you, and if you can't control your car, then you really shouldn't drive......"

……

The angry doctor kept repeating 'you forced me off the road', as if only by doing so could he stand on the moral high ground.

However, the doctor who is not good at words, who is no match for Marston at all, is soon squeezed out of silence by this frivolous playboy.

Fortunately, most of the people at the banquet were on the side of the doctor, so that the two of them were evenly matched.

As for... Yiqi, he sipping the juice in his wine glass while watching... This is a farce with a different face.

Exclusion and suppression are a very common phenomenon, and they are also the instincts that human beings have formed to this day.

Human beings are social animals, but they will be divided into different classes and groups because of their different interests, and will instinctively exclude and suppress those who do not want to integrate into their own classes and groups.

This has two advantages, one is to unite one's class and group by using the feelings of common hatred and hatred.

For example... In the old century, some countries would use the form of waging war to resolve internal contradictions.

Although there are also different classes and groups in a country, from a higher level of perspective, the state... Also a giant group.

Therefore, in the face of contradictions, contradictions at the national level often suppress contradictions within the country.

Just like many old movies depict, despite the internal contradictions, in the face of external enemies, these contradictory groups will also be united with the enemy.

The second is to seek personal gain.

The power of the individual... After all, it is difficult to compete with classes and groups, so people will integrate into various classes and groups, in addition to seeking protection, the main purpose is actually to use the power of groups.

For example... Dr. Armstrong, he skillfully transformed his conflict with Marston into a contradiction between Marston and the crowd.

Because the doctor knows one thing very well - it is difficult to defeat Marston with his own strength, so he has to use the strength of everyone to exclude and suppress Marston.

As long as Marston is in the crowd of people, with his tail between his legs... Leaving the ballroom in disgrace, he, Dr. Armstrong, would be the victor in the war......
