I'm the Demon King in Marvel

Chapter 608: It won't get better if we endure it, it will only make them worse!
"sacrifice?"

This word feels both familiar and unfamiliar to Liu Xing.

Familiar because he had seen this word frequently in history books recently.

It is strange because this word is far away from the lives of ordinary people.

"They can't voluntarily give up their privileges. If you resist, it will be equivalent to destroying their privileges. Do you really expect them to remain indifferent and surrender?"

"In the history books you have read, will the reactionaries compromise just because you shout a few slogans? They will only suppress you brutally!"

Xu Gaohua looked at Liu Xing, hesitated for a moment, and chose to confess part of the truth.

"I said I have no family. I wasn't kidding you. My family has been killed by the Tang family..."

"Ah?" Liu Xing was shocked: "Why?"

No wonder the other party is so destitute, it turns out that his family is dead and he is probably on the run.

However, Liu Xing mistakenly thought that Xu Gaohua was a young man and the dead was the old man he had seen half a month ago.

"Has the Tang family become so arrogant that it is lawless?"

"Because I have a valuable biological drug data in my hand, they used my family as a threat to force me to hand it over..."

Xu Gaohua's tone became low. He still felt guilty in his heart, but he firmly believed that he had done nothing wrong.

After a moment, he regained his determination and looked at Liu Xing with burning eyes.

"This is the price of resistance! If you want to resist, you must be prepared for your family to be arrested and threatened with their lives."

"I..." Liu Xing was totally unprepared.

"Of course, they will also tempt you with benefits, giving you wealth that you can never earn in dozens of lifetimes, making you a 'superior' person from now on. You only need to be their slave, and you can enslave most ordinary people."

When saying this, Xu Gaohua stared at Liu Xing. If there was any desire in his eyes, Xu Gaohua would immediately knock him out and leave.

He dared to reveal that he had a high-value biological agent on him, believing that his enhanced body could easily suppress Liu Xing.

Fortunately, there was only confusion in Liu Xing's eyes at this moment.

The two chatted all night. Liu Xing did not sleep all night and dragged his tired body to work early the next morning. After Xu Gaohua made sure that he had left, he quickly changed into the old clothes left by Liu Xing's grandfather and hurried away.

He was not sure what Liu Xing would choose, and he did not want to gamble his life and mission that Liu Xing would not inform the Tang family.

But he didn't go far. He went straight down to the nearby sewer and carefully observed the movements in the nearby blocks to confirm whether Liu Xing had informed on anyone.

Liu Xing had no time to think about informing on others. His mind was in a mess and he kept thinking about what Xu Gaohua had told him last night. His previous questions were answered, but he now had more confusions.

"Knock, knock, knock." A hand knocked on Liu Xing's workstation, waking him up from his daze.

"Xiao Liu, I know your father passed away unexpectedly, but it's been half a month. Isn't it time for you to focus on your work?" The farm manager had a stern face and a cold look in his eyes.

"Our company is not unkind. We've given you two days of bereavement leave. What else do you want? Do you want to follow the ancients' example of observing mourning for three years? That was the privilege of the literati! Ordinary people would have starved to death if they didn't work for three years!"

After some earnest advice, the boss' tone turned cold.

"We are not running a charity here. If we pay you, you have to work hard, otherwise you'd better get out."

"Manager, have a cup of coffee to calm down." Colleague Wu Lei hurried over and handed the coffee he had just bought to the manager to help Liu Xing out of the situation.

"Liu Xing has been working diligently for so many years, but something big happened at home recently! His bad mood shows that Liu Xing is filial, sentimental, and knows how to repay favors. Where can we find such a good employee?"

The manager took the coffee, glanced at Liu Xing again, and his tone softened a little.

"For Xiao Wu's sake, I won't pursue the matter with you for now. There will be a truckload of goods coming soon. You guys move them to the warehouse. Be quick!"

Seeing the manager leave, Wu Lei came over and patted Liu Xing on the shoulder, sighing softly: "You should cheer up quickly. It's hard to find a job now. It costs a lot of money to immigrate to another planet. Just bear with it!"

At the beginning of the interstellar era, there were no "immigration restrictions" between the planets of the Huaxia camp. As long as you could afford the spaceship ticket, you could settle on any planet. Less developed planets were more welcoming to immigrants with development experience, and they offered higher wages and benefits.

Once all the dividends of the era were snatched away, especially after the noble families had taken over the planet, they immediately regarded the immigrants on the planet as private property and continuously increased "immigration restrictions."

At the beginning, it was an economic measure. By raising the spacecraft ticket and housing prices, it became difficult for immigrants to settle down. Later, they simply formulated regulations to prevent immigrants on their own planet from leaving, but were willing to continue to absorb new immigrants.

Population is the biggest profit. There are so many wastelands on the planet. If no one develops them, how can we produce benefits?

If no one pays taxes and no one consumes, won’t it become a dead planet?
"Will it be useful if I just endure it?" Liu Xing said to himself.

Not long after, a truck drove into the farm and a loud speaker alerted the employees in the office building.

Several employees from the administrative department walked out of the three-story building and looked at the large truck that was more than 30 meters long in front of them. Immediately, someone started complaining.

"What the hell? You're just asking a few of us to unload such a big truck?"

"Where are the unloading robots? Without the robots, when will we have to move?"

"You still expect robots? Electricity costs nothing? Parts wear out for nothing?"

"Fuck, so we don't care if parts of our bodies wear out, right?"

"You're asking even though you already know the answer. An illness contracted at home is not called a 'work-related injury'!" "Ah...just bear with it, it will pass."

"Will it really pass if I just bear with it?"

Several administrative staff including Liu Xing and Wu Lei started to move the goods. They worked from morning to night and still couldn't finish it after ten hours.

Liu Xing, who had not slept last night, finally couldn't bear it anymore. When he was getting off the car with the goods on his back, his legs suddenly went weak, he fell off the pedal, hit his head on the ground, and fainted.

"Lao Liu, Lao Liu!"

"Something happened, come and help!"

"Call an ambulance quickly!"

When the manager heard the shouting, he hurried downstairs and looked at the unconscious Liu Xing with a gloomy face.

After all, he didn't dare to stand by and watch someone die. After all, if someone died, the matter would only get worse.

The noble families are now only gradually eroding human rights, and have not yet reached the point of blatantly undermining the system and treating people as slaves.

Not long after, Liu Xing was sent to the hospital and woke up after first aid.

"It's not a big problem. I was just too tired and hit my head, so I have a concussion. I just need to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation."

Not long after the doctor left the ward, a man in a suit and tie walked into the ward and came to Liu Xing's bed.

"Mr. Liu Xing, I am your company's legal advisor. I have just consulted the doctor and found out that the reason you fell was due to over-fatigue."

"I have learned from your manager and your colleagues that your mental state has not been good recently. You should realize that you are not suitable for physical labor..."

"What do you mean?" Liu Xing's wife Wang Juan had rushed to the hospital after hearing the news. When she heard the lawyer's words, she immediately became anxious.

"What I mean is that Mr. Liu Xing knew that his mental state was not good, but instead of asking for leave to rest, he forced himself to do heavy physical labor. He was negligent and should bear some responsibility."

The well-dressed lawyer pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and took a step back very skillfully.

"According to past precedents, the company will only bear half of the medical expenses."

"Fuck your motherfucker!"

Wang Juan is a hot-tempered woman. She was already in a bad mood because of something that happened at home recently. Now that her husband is in the hospital, people from the company came to her in a sarcastic manner and refused to take responsibility, which made her even more angry.

"What do you mean by 'knowingly in poor mental condition' and 'not asking for leave'? Do you think we don't want to ask for leave?"

"My father-in-law passed away, and my husband's salary and attendance were deducted for the two days of bereavement leave he requested. Will the company approve another leave?"

"Why don't you just say you're quitting?" Wang Juan sneered, "Yeah, if you voluntarily resign, you can force us to give up the compensation. That's a good idea!"

"Forget it. Lawyers only do their jobs for money. If you are angry, you should vent it on the company." Liu Xing held his wife.

The well-dressed lawyer glanced at Liu Xing with a hint of surprise in his eyes. It was rare to meet such a reasonable person.

"If you want to appeal, you can find a template for an arbitration application online."

He shouldn't have said that, but he said it anyway.

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Beside the bed, colleague Wu Lei hadn't left yet. Seeing this, he sighed again: "Alas... I'll go back and ask the manager to see if he can give you more. Fortunately, it's not a big problem. Counting the amount reimbursed by medical insurance, you'll only have to pay about 1,800 yuan in the end."

"Just bear with it, it will pass."

"If we hold back, it won't go away..." Liu Xing's eyes suddenly became firm. He turned to look at Wu Lei and said in a deep voice, "If we hold back, they will only get worse!"

"Alas, we ordinary people can't bear it, but what can we do?" Wu Lei knew this truth, but what can he do?
Thinking about these bad things, Wu Lei looked at the time. It was already early morning after all the trouble, so he said goodbye and left.

After Wang Juan put away the clothes and daily necessities she brought, she did not forget to complain to her husband.

"Look at you, you even fell down when you got out of the car? Now, not only will you have to pay for medical expenses, but the company will definitely deduct your salary, and you will have problems with your mortgage next month."

After living together for many years, Liu Xing already understood his wife's character. Although she would nag and complain sometimes, she had a soft heart and would only vent her anger and not take it to heart.

Faced with his wife's complaints, Liu Xing did not respond, but remembered what Xu Gaohua said to him last night.

"Resisting injustice is not like treating someone to a meal. You must be prepared to make sacrifices..."

"Resist? Should I resist? How should I resist?" Liu Xing muttered to himself.

"What are you mumbling about?" Wang Juan looked back at him.

"Wife, if I were to do something dangerous, would you blame me?" Liu Xing seemed to have made a choice.

But Wang Juan smiled disdainfully: "You? A coward who can't even fart even with three sticks, what great things can you do?"

She didn't take it seriously at all.
