The Birth of Power Is Often Based on Dominating Violence

After several days of settling, the hatred did not easily leave the Newspaper Boss's inner world, but instead became more and more hateful as time went on.

Whenever he got drunk, he would always remember the humiliation, harm, and control that Michael had inflicted on him that night.

He just wanted to have a soulmate like most normal people. He didn't actually do anything. The girl herself didn't object, but Michael suddenly appeared.

He kicked the Newspaper Boss and stepped on his most precious thing, and didn't even give him clothes to wear, all in front of his foster daughter.

Later, his foster daughter disappeared, and he finally had a lot of leverage in Michael's hands. Remembering how Michael always beat and scolded him, and even took his money, he became more and more resentful.

Especially this time, the loss of several thousand dollars made him feel humiliated again, and it had already affected his dominance over those children.

Now all the children in the Small Building know that a man named Michael took the Newspaper Boss's money. He was being roasted on the fire, and the way some of the older children looked at him had changed.

He was gradually losing control of these children. Especially last night, after he got drunk and prepared to beat the children to vent the suppressed emotions in his heart, the two oldest children actually snatched his whip and pushed him out the door.

The environment that was beginning to spiral out of control made him even more terrified. Everything he had was built on absolute control over these children. If he didn't change something, he would soon become one of those losers in his eyes, becoming dust in the garbage heap of history.

"Can it fire?", the man hiding in the dark corner opposite the Newspaper Boss was counting the banknotes in his hand, and did not respond to the Newspaper Boss's question.

After a while, he nodded after counting a roll, "No problem, I've already tried it. You can try it too. There are four bullets in it. If you want more...", he took out one from his pocket, "Two dollars a piece."

The Newspaper Boss's face twitched. He silently stuffed the pistol into his pocket. This kind of pistol modified from a Starting Pistol had no serial number, and it would be difficult to trace the source even if something went wrong.

Many underground arms dealers like this kind of weapon, at least they can ensure that they will not be involved in any cases.

"Okay, the money is no problem, is there anything else?", the young man in the shadows asked. The Newspaper Boss shook his head. He greeted the Newspaper Boss and quickly disappeared into the alley.

The sky was getting darker and darker. The Newspaper Boss, with a pistol in his pocket, felt something called "power" for the first time. This was a completely different expression from the power he had felt before.

The previous power was based on the individual differences between adults and children. He was stronger and had more strength than the children, so he could control these children.

But now, the power he possessed allowed him to directly deprive others of their lives according to his wishes. This sublimation of control over other people's lives made him feel like he was God.

Anyone who made him uncomfortable would end their ugly lives as he pulled the trigger. This wanton sense of plunder made him excited.

Carrying the ham slices and the free small bread rolls from the Delicatessen - in order to compete for business, the Delicatessen would give customers a small bag of four fist-sized whole wheat bread rolls as long as they bought enough and specified meats.

This business model is gradually spreading from big cities to small cities. People may not realize anything yet, but those who specialize in finance and economics have already discovered these problems.

The slowdown in economic growth has made social competition greater and more brutal. The financial and economic development of the entire country has slowed down. This is a problematic, but also very reasonable phenomenon.

Eating salty ham slices, with bread rolls and cheap spirits, he successfully made himself dizzy again. At the same time, an impulse from nowhere began to invade his brain.

He remembered what happened in the dormitory last night, being driven out of the door by those children who he used like dogs. He had a grim smile on his face, holding a whip and a wine bottle, and walked into the dormitory staggeringly.

A few minutes later, a not-so-harsh gunshot came, and the noise and clamor of the entire dormitory building instantly turned into silence, followed by the sound of a leather whip hitting flesh.

But this time, compared to the past, no one cried, everyone was clenching their teeth, which also made the Newspaper Boss's impulse even more distorted.

Not crying?

I'll beat you until you cry!

Nothing to say all night.

After a day of contact, Vera had skillfully mastered the specifics of the job. After Lin Qi finished a business deal, he greeted her and left first. He had other things to do.

For example, entrusting a lawyer to register some patents, and finding a factory to make his Coin Sorter, and the strange behavior of the Newspaper Boss he saw when he had dinner with Vera last night also made him a little curious. He wondered if the Newspaper Boss was planning to take action, and he had to finish his own affairs first, such as putting his ring in Michael's room.

There are many things to do, and they must be done step by step.

Around noon, Lin Qi first went to a relatively ordinary law firm in Sabine City. It wasn't the most famous, nor did it have the highest success rate in defense. He just needed to register a patent and didn't need these references.

The main reason for choosing this firm was that it was cheap.

If a professional accountant can make your heart ache for one day each month, then a lawyer can make your heart ache for a month or longer.

The consultation fee is only part of the overall cost. They start calculating tolls from the moment they leave the office. If they leave with a briefcase, there are also material costs.

Not to mention the various additional expenses that may arise from their thirst or hunger, and these expenses are unavoidable, so Lin Qi just needs an ordinary lawyer.

"Hello..." As soon as Lin Qi entered, the lawyer politely invited him to sit down, and then pressed a double-sided desk clock in front of him, and the clock immediately started timing.

Only then did the lawyer speak, "If the secretary wasn't lazy, she should have told you that our consultation fee is twenty-five dollars per hour, and less than an hour is calculated as one hour, right?"

Lin Qi nodded, and the smile on the lawyer's face became more pronounced. "So, how can I help you?"

"I want to register a patent."

"Register a patent?" The lawyer was slightly stunned. He re-examined Lin Qi. Given Lin Qi's age, he felt that Lin Qi should be talking to him more about possible criminal behaviors, such as assault, battery, or robbery, rather than registering a patent, so he confirmed it again and again.

Lin Qi nodded again, and the lawyer began his work, "Well, to be honest, our firm doesn't have a patent lawyer, but we can do it..."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Qi stood up, which also made the lawyer stand up immediately and try his best to win the business. "We can give you a discount, believe me, registering a patent doesn't require much professional knowledge!"

Because the local laws of each state and region are different, some legal documents that can be passed in one state cannot be approved by the judicial department in another state.

No lawyer dares to say that they are omnipotent. They often only specialize in a certain field, such as criminal lawyers who only specialize in the content of criminal cases and the sentencing standards for criminal cases in various states.

Similarly, there are also marriage lawyers who specialize in marriage and divorce, economic lawyers who are responsible for wealth disputes, and patent lawyers who specialize in patent services.

The main scope of work for patent lawyers is not actually in registration issues, but how to more effectively help employers build patent barriers, solve technology monopoly problems, and various infringement cases.

But sometimes people are just so stubborn. Even though they can go out wearing slippers and leather shoes, they will definitely choose leather shoes instead of slippers when they go out, although the two are the same in some respects.

Trying to win every customer and create profits for the firm is also the job of every lawyer.
