The interview with the surviving family of the rich was very successful, although Lynch didn't say much and was thinking about whether to bring in a few feminist fanatics.
But overall, the interview was a success.
In this world, the international community, including the people in the Federation who began to worry, were not concerned about the bottom of the social ladder in foreign countries.
They didn't care about this. The poor would never care whether the poor in another place lived better than them.
Regardless of whether their lives were better or worse than theirs, everyone felt that they were the ones who needed help the most.
If there was anyone who was really miserable, it must be them.
People only paid attention to the problems that happened to the rich, and they would get more of a sense of identity.
Instead of talking about the life of a low-level native who was similar to savages in people's impression, it was better to talk about the life of the rich in foreign countries. Only the tragic things that happened to these rich people could make people really realize how bad the situation was now.
"Oh my god, even the rich are in trouble. Then they are serious this time."
To test whether a social event really had a terrible impact on society, in fact, you just need to see whether the rich were also affected.
So as soon as these reports were reported, they immediately attracted widespread attention of the international community, and people were discussing whether the turmoil in Najalil was a warning.
In another country, a mother and son also saw the news.
"Simon …" The gorgeously dressed woman looked like she was in her forties, but her real age was much older than what she showed.
Thanks to her husband sending them a lot of money every year for her and her son to squander, their pampered life made them look very healthy.
The woman spent most of her money on maintenance and enjoyment. She had a private hairdresser, a private beautician, a private physical training coach, including a private nutritionist.
These made her look very young. Even if money couldn't stop time, it could make her look younger than others.
At this time, sitting on the sofa not far away, a very stylish young man was sitting with his legs crossed and eating an apple. When he heard his mother mention the man's name, he suddenly frowned.
Towards this father who had abandoned him and his mother to go out to sea when they were young, perhaps he would only have a good impression of him when he was in urgent need of money. Most of the time, he would only hate that person, even though he was enjoying everything that that man had created for him.
Life, work, everything.
"What's wrong with him again?"
The young man asked nonchalantly. "I remember he wrote that he wanted to come back."
The young man was very outstanding. He had his own company at a young age. Although it was losing money every year, the money Mr. Simon sent back every year was enough for his company to continue operating and let him gain more social experience.
From a certain point of view, he felt that squandering the money that Simon sent back was a form of punishment for Simon!
The woman was stunned for a moment, and her expression soon turned into panic. She turned the newspaper around to face the young man, and her voice was full of shock. "It says that your father died in Najalil!"
The cynical smile on the young man's face quickly froze. His expression was one of disbelief at first, but then he saw the news, and then it turned into horror.
The mother and son knew very well that their current good life came from the money that Mr. Simon sent back every year. They took it for granted, and while enjoying the money, they used squandering ways to convince themselves that this was Mr. Simon's punishment.
Punishing him for not caring about the mother and son's feelings, abandoning them here, and going out alone to enjoy life.
Sometimes, they would even use words like "I wish you were dead" or "I want to believe that you never existed" to hurt Mr. Simon in their letters to achieve their goals and satisfy their twisted pleasure.
But if Mr. Simon was really dead, it would be a disaster for them.
The woman would lose everything she had now, her various personal trainers, hairdressers, and so on. She could no longer afford to buy those luxury brands, and she could no longer show off the pleasure that money brought to her circle of wives.
She would soon become old and ugly, and what was more terrible was that her lover, who was younger than her son, would completely abandon her because she could no longer afford to pay!
The young man was also terrified. His company was able to survive despite losing money every year because of Mr. Simon's unconditional support. He always thought that this was a stage that a young man had to go through in the process of growing up. As long as he had enough lessons and experience, he would grow up.
Unfortunately, he would not see this day, and this young man, his son, who he had high hopes for, would not have the chance to grow up.
By the beginning of next year, if he could not come up with a sum of money to pay his creditors, his factory, his company, his house, his car, and all his luxury goods would leave him.
The money he had now was simply not enough to support him to continue to pay those bills and his current life. He was going to go bankrupt, and his creditors would throw him into a factory to work, and he would spend the rest of his life paying off his debts.
The young man snatched the newspaper from his mother's hand and read it carefully. He was almost completely desperate, because the reporter of this newspaper was also a local. He even briefly mentioned that Mr. Simon was a successful businessman from the country.
This could bring a more immersive feeling to the readers. For example, if one day they also went out of the country and became a successful businessman, what would they do if they encountered such things? Although most people who read this newspaper would not have such an opportunity in this life, the next life, or the next life, they would still immerse themselves in the role.
This also made the young man even more certain that this was his father, Old Simon.
Fortunately, the second half of the newspaper gave him hope. His gloomy face had an ecstatic smile. "Did you see, mom? It said that he has factories and shops over there. He is a successful businessman. He must have a lot of money. This money is all ours!"
He turned to look at his mother, and his expression was already a little twisted. He pointed to one of the places and said, "We must go and take back what belongs to us as soon as possible, or else it will be taken away by others!"
The woman was like a drowning person who had grabbed a rope. She quickly stood up, looked at the trembling contents of the newspaper, and nodded repeatedly. "Dear, you are right..."
That afternoon, the mother and son booked four tickets to Najalil, and after a sumptuous dinner, they boarded the ship and left.
As for why there were four tickets, it was because they also hired a lawyer who specialized in inheritance disputes. If they won the lawsuit, he could get 40% of the lawyer's fee from Mr. Simon's estate. This was also written in the contract.
As for the fourth ticket, it was a dog they raised. It was a small ornamental dog called Colonel. It was very small, less than 20 centimeters long, not including its tail. It was also a very expensive breed. It was said that the president's wife of the country where they lived also raised a similar breed of dog.
At the same time, something unexpected was happening in the Federation.
The diplomat of Najalil did not look too good. There was a telegram from his country, questioning whether he had betrayed the interests of the country, and asking him to report back to his country immediately.
In addition to this telegram, there was another telegram sent to him by a very secretive friend. The telegram said that the royal family had secretly captured his family, but not those in his clan. Only his own family, his mother, brothers, and sisters were captured, but not his father.
No one knew what the current situation of these people was, but one thing was certain, the situation was not good.
There was no doubt that the changes in the country were caused by this person in front of him. He was now having a headache. On one hand, the people of the Federation were too shameless. They could not persuade him, so they sent people to Najalil to cause trouble. At the same time, he could not help but feel that the people of the Federation really valued him.
This was a very contradictory feeling. Most of the time, self-admiration was just an illusion that the incompetent used to comfort themselves. A real talent would eventually be valued.
He was very grateful for this, but this way …
"As long as you join us, these things will not be a problem."
It was still a warm afternoon. With the arrival of November, the entire Federation began to cool down rapidly.
People had already put on their trench coats, including Mr. Trumann. The agents of the Federation liked this outfit so much that people could always spot them in the crowd.
The diplomat did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Should I thank you now for giving me a chance?"
He meant that the other party did not completely kill him. For example, they tried to make the royal family kill his family directly, forcing him to turn around.
Or they used other more extreme and irreversible ways to resolve their differences.
Mr. Trumann shook his head. "Did you know that the son of the former president has been officially appointed as the Federation's diplomatic ambassador to the United Kingdom of Najalil?"
"I have not heard of it!"
The diplomat was a little surprised. This news had not been announced to the public yet. Although those who should know and those who should not know would know by tonight, it had not been revealed yet because the Congress was not over yet.
Mr. Trumann shrugged.
"That is a very outstanding young man. He has already begun to walk on the path towards his life goal. What about you, Mr. Diplomat? When will you find the right direction in your life?"
"The right direction?!"
