"What do you mean?" Rick looked a little unhappy.
"Nothing, I just wanted to express my opinion on what you are discussing." Carl shrugged and smiled indifferently.
"Or make a decision. I like making decisions. Discussions are a waste of time and it's hard to reach a consensus."
"You weren't like this before." Rick looked at Carl in a daze.
"I have indeed changed a lot, but you don't fully understand me in the past. After all, you are very busy, and what you know is what you want to know." Carl's face was calm.
"Hey, Rick, Carl, please stop talking. We are discussing serious matters now." Sean quickly persuaded.
Carl asked, "Business? What business?"
"This..." Sean looked at Rick, who looked unhappy, with some hesitation.
Karl smiled. "Is it about Thomas neglecting his duties and Martinez letting the governor go without permission?"
"You...how do you know?" Sean was slightly stunned. These are the only people who know about this.
Carl said, "It doesn't matter, Martinez, you go back first. If you continue to stay here, my father might get agitated. Go and see if there's anything you can do to help. The prison is probably short of manpower everywhere right now."
Martinez frowned and glanced at Carl, but didn't move.
"Carl, what do you mean?" Sean couldn't help but frowned slightly.
"Aren't we discussing it? I think if the person involved is here too, it will affect the outcome of our discussion. Sean, don't you still believe me?" Carl looked at Sean.
Sean frowned, glanced at Rick, thought for a moment, and patted Martinez on the shoulder and said, "Hey, buddy, you should step aside for a while, relax a little, and don't be too nervous. We'll let you know when we make a decision later."
Martinez looked at Sean, looked directly into Sean's eyes, and after a moment, turned away.
Sean said, "Doesn't Thomas need to go? He is also one of the parties involved."
Carl smiled and asked, "Do you think Thomas is more hateful?"
"Why do you say that?" Sean was slightly stunned.
"Why don't you seem to hate Martinez? Is it because victory came too easily? So you don't realize the harm the governor has done. You even admire Martinez for his loyalty and his courage to stay."
"Did I do something wrong?" Sean frowned slightly.
"I told you, you're wrong. Martinez is an unstable factor, and so is he." Rick said, glaring at Thomas fiercely again.
"Father, you need to cultivate your character, you really need to. Maybe you can put down the gun and cultivate yourself for a while." Carl looked at Rick and said seriously.
Rick looked at Carl, slightly stunned, and slowly put the Colt Python in his hand back into the holster.
Carl said, "Okay, let me explain. I was the one who asked Thomas to leave. I knew Martinez would let the governor go. He is very loyal. I did it on purpose."
"Why?" Sean raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
"Because the Governor shouldn't be locked up here, I need him out. As for the reason, I'm sorry, I can't tell you, but you can know that nothing will go wrong.
Finally, it's about Thomas and Martinez. First of all, Thomas, I was the one who called him out. Well, the responsibility is mine. Anyway, I don't think he has much responsibility. If you think it is necessary to punish me, I will accept it calmly.
As for Martinez, I'm not sure if he will stay, but if he does, that's a good thing. He is a good fighter, both in terms of his skills and his proficiency with weapons.
But since he chose to stay, the relationship between him and the governor was severed. He was a very good person and there was no need to punish him for this.
He will be grateful and loyal to the prison."
Carl pursed his lips. In order to be more persuasive, Carl had to use the most powerful tone possible, and his mouth was a little dry.
"Well, that's it about Martinez and Thomas. I saved you a meaningless but time-wasting discussion. No need to be grateful."
Finally, Carl smiled and looked around at everyone.
Michonne whispered to Maul, "Carl seems very different, but that doesn't seem to be a reason for him to make such a big decision."
"Haha, you've already said that, that boy is very different. I've already seen that, Sean... cough cough, haha, I can't say any more. If I say any more, I'll laugh again."
More held Daryl's shoulders. Daryl looked at the somewhat nervous More with a cold face, shook off More's hand with a shake of his shoulders, and turned and left.
"Hey, buddy, wait for your brother." Moore caught up with him, smiling.
Michonne frowned, very confused.
"That's how Moore is. You'll get used to it. He's actually not a bad person." Glenn said with a smile.
Michonne narrowed her eyes slightly and asked quickly, "How long have you been with them?"
"We've been together since the end of the world, which makes it more than a year." Glenn answered without giving it much thought.
"That kid named Carl, is he Rick's son?"
"I guess so. I don't know much about these things."
"So do you know him? And Sean?"
…
"Father, I didn't mean to contradict you, but you always treat me like a child. I'm really annoyed. I'm really not a child anymore, and...
And since you went to prison, perhaps some time after the end of the world, you have changed a lot, just like me, I can understand that.
But you really need to cultivate your character and relax. No matter what the world is like, at least I am still by your side and we all need to live."
Carl held Rick's hand. Rick's body was a little stiff. He looked down at Carl with some sparkling eyes.
Sean looked at the father and son, turned around and left silently, feeling a little sad.
Thomas saw that everyone had left, so he simply ignored her and left as well.
So now it's just Rick and Carl.
"Let's sit for a while?" Carl smiled at Rick and sat down on the grass.
Rick also slowly followed and sat down next to Carl. He looked at Carl with a lot of emotions in his eyes, but he didn't know where to start.
Carl rested his head on Rick's shoulder. "Shave your beard when you get back, relax for a while, and get used to this place first, okay?"
"Carl, you've really grown up." Rick said softly, "You must have experienced a lot while I was away."
"Indeed, but I think it's nothing compared to what you've been through, by the way."
Carl took out the Glock and placed it in front of Rick. "Do you recognize it?"
"Glock 17, made in Austria..."
"No, not this one. It was Sean's original gun. Sean gave it to me."
"Hehe, he's very good to you, you need to remain grateful."
"I know, but father, can you leave your Colt Python with me for a while?"
