Chapter 135: The Garden (12)

Beelzebub shook his head in disbelief: "Holy Mother forbid, they tried to kill themselves with the 'medicine' tablets...... Just for an a......"

"A lot of a's. If you look at the search ,.."

"Wow, understood, a lot of a...... Hopkins, they should know why an amphetamine "drug" like Addera is classified as a second-class controlled "drug" along with cocaine and morphine - although it is not as difficult to obtain as the latter - but it is really addictive! Hell, Bepp's dad was in charge of the business — amphetamines, methylfennite, ice, angels, heroin, cocaine, morphine...... It's all outright dangerous goods, and if that kid on Poseidon Island dares to take the risk of trying it for grades or something, his father will smash his ass...... Well, even if they don't care, what about their parents and teachers? ”

Hopkins crushed a piece of cocaine wrapped in chocolate, put it to his nose and sniffed it; "You're willing to sleep only three hours a day, exhausting, dazed, and dull like a donkey, and still only get a B or even a C on your homework and exams; Or do you want to find a way to get some "medicine" and continue to be Superman or Batman for a day and a half, and get high grades to make teachers and parents happy? He shrugged his shoulders and flicked the white powder off his fingers: "Most people choose the latter, when they find that they can't succeed in more than five compulsory courses, more electives, and team activities at the same time, no matter what. And teachers and parents – teachers always want to teach as many good students as possible, and parents ask doctors for prescriptions that they think are 'pills that make people smarter.'" ”

"I don't see why they have to do that?" Beelzebub expressed his incomprehension: "Even if they don't go to college, they don't necessarily starve to death - I remember reading in a book that in the western continent, every baby gets a fund from their grandparents at birth, and even if they have nothing to do all day long, they can live in peace." ”

"Uh...... Obviously, the author of this book has a deep misunderstanding of the Western Continent. There's a fund or something – only some of the states that still retain their constitutional monarchies still retain this tradition, limited to members of the immediate royal family, and are legally required to receive a 'parliamentary annuity' from the king – and other than that, depending on whether their parents are generous and fair enough – provided they have enough money to distribute, of course. Sasha remembered an "old acquaintance" imprisoned in the labyrinth of thought by his father, Dr. Hopkins, who was very wealthy but stingy and unwilling to give a penny to his own daughter, turning a blind eye to the insults and injuries she had suffered from her brother. Hearing this, he even ended his daughter's studies early and forced her to rely on her brother to survive - this indulgence continued until his proud son was gnawed off by a dog, paralyzed, and could only live on various "drugs" and machinery, and he made a will, and his property was only given to his son and the children identified in the DNA test as his direct line.

After his death. His daughter took a chance, got the of the brother who could only lie on the bed and hum, but still had a bad stomach, and killed him immediately - she didn't even think that artificial insemination might fail - she was so patient that she couldn't wait for a second. Hopkins told his son. The doctor admired her very much, and took over the black cauldron for this purpose. He called and confessed that he was the real murderer of the murder...... After that, he got a very good remuneration - the taste of the tender fried brain tablets, the doctor still has not forgotten it.

Sasha thought about it for a moment and decided not to take this example, "It can also be regarded as a tradition, and many literary works have described how the nobles of the Middle Ages dealt with their children, if they happened to have three sons - the eldest son inherited the title, the castle, the land, and most of the property, the second son went to the army, and the third son went to the monastery. It's the same now, only the way out is slightly different, they will try to send their children into politics. Or make them officers, doctors, judges...... Principals, library/museum directors are fine, research institute directors, professors are a little bit willing, but they can bear it. Little Hopkins stood up and walked into the bathroom, the sound of the toilet flushing immediately sounded, and he rushed thousands of dollars worth of "medicine" into the sewer without hesitation: "Do you think you still have a chance to get those three kisses?" ”

"I don't think she'll be too happy to see me again." Beelzebub said, "What is there to eat?" ”

"How's the chocolate bean?" They bought chocolate, yes, the kind of chocolate chips that are quite popular.

"Give me a can." Beelzebub said, "That's why they are crazy about getting good grades, right?" "On the Western Continent. Any university with a little history and capital has a solid foundation and support, they cherish their reputation like human beings cherish their own eyeballs, and they will never compromise for a little money or threats.

"You have to be good – clubs, sports teams, debate tournaments, volunteers...... Wait a minute. In short, you have to be good enough to shine even when you're standing in a black hole – so that people can notice you. ”

"Those people?"

"Someone who can make you soar." Sprinkle sand and unscrew the can. Pour the colorful chocolate chips into a bowl, "So, the eldest son who can inherit most of the property needs to work hard just like the only son, just like the salmon that will do everything to mate and spawn." Ever heard of Lions? ”

"I can't be sure," said Beelzebub, "I've heard the name." ”

"They select members from among the third-year university students, first of all, from wealthy families, preferably with aristocratic blood. Secondly, it is necessary to have a good education, and it is best to have attended a noble boarding school in secondary school. To be athletic, competitive, to have the experience of being a leader and a winner, preferably to have served in the military, fifteen a year, and to join the Lions club when they graduate – that is, no more than 800 members are alive at most, but among these 800 people, there are four federal presidents, eight ministers, three leaders, six university presidents and dozens of billionaires...... They are part of the spire of the economic and political pyramid of the entire Western Continent, and their power is far and wide. The connection between them is as close as a spider's web. ”

"I think I kind of get it." Beelzebub said.

"Similar secret elite organizations exist in almost all of the top universities."

"But we're not part of a wealthy family." Although "Don" can be said to be the king of Poseidon Island, this king can only exist in the dark, the golden age of "Masoye" ended long ago fifty years ago, no matter how rich and strong, the thugs can never be in the open with those who hold the fate of the Western Continent in their hands - not to mention Sasha, whose surname once belonged to an earl, but the war ruined everything, and the Hopkins father and son only had each other, not a family.

"No," Sasha said, "we can." ”

Lions and other similar organizations are consciously recruiting new blood to expand their reach and dominance, and their tentacles are everywhere.

As long as you can meet their expectations, you will gain wealth, status, and fame.

"What do you think? My friend. "Chegare. "Shouldn't we have an anthrax bomb for the kids?" Bissan said. So that they can blow up everything that is not pleasing to the eye and go to hell? ”

Hopkins sat in the shadows as he was customary, tiny white teeth flickering in the darkness.

"Kane. Carson must have hoped so. The doctor said in that soft, unforgettable voice, the letter whispering between his fingers: "He is in dire need of help now." ”

"John. Wouldn't Carson's stake help him enough? Chegalle asked, unfortunately, he wasn't eating, just holding a glass of wine as thick as cough potion, which was held in a beer glass.

"He's not a smart guy." Hopkins explained: "Kane. Carson was anxious to defeat his enemies, and he needed to establish his authority as soon as possible and erase all traces of his brother. Carson, at least half of the family mourns and misses him - although he wasn't very unlikable when he was alive, but it's better than the unscrupulous and ambitious Kane. Carson is good, especially the old people who were kicked out of the company by Kane, they can now put little Carson in their mouths and chew it directly, and they don't even need a meal wine. Hopkins tilted his head: "He has to make a result as soon as possible, a result that can shut everyone up." ”

"So he's using us as guns," Chegalle muttered, "The Douglas and Carson families have been fighting for Grande for a while." ”

"It's been one hundred and eighty years." Hopkins said: "The land of Grande belongs to Douglas, and the monastery is funded and built by Carson, but in recent decades Carson has been at a disadvantage. Carson and Kane. Carson was even kicked out, and a few years earlier the 'Coke of 1886' incident cost them two more members of the school committee, and Douglas 'plugged' two people in. ”

"The Douglas kids are in Grande too?"

"Bao'er. Noel. Douglas, a beautiful and excellent boy, and the younger brother of Douglas's parents, he worked as a school doctor at the school. ”

"Bao'er?" "Sounds like a little playboy (Boa means playboy in the lingua franca of the Western Continent), and he's very popular with girls? ”

"There is no doubt that Grandrie is said to have had a lot of 'crushes' on him, from grades 9 to 12, and he is an official member of the swimming team."

"I don't think he's any match for our kids," Chegalle muttered, "...... Tell me, how about Beelzebub and Sasha? No, no, no, I've looked at the report cards and reports, I mean – girls? ”
