Chapter 1352: Chapter 1350: Brothers or Enemies
The meal is ready.
Elder Zhuo wants to have a couple of drinks with Yang Chen.
Elder Zhuo’s hidden good liquor is smooth and refined, a rare treat, which made Yang Chen drink a couple more glasses.
Watching Night Fire and Gao Hong downing drink after drink, Yang Chen’s mouth twitched, and he glared at them, reprimanding: "Drink less! Look at you two, like you’ve never had good wine before!"
The two exchanged glances and reluctantly said to Yang Chen, "We really haven’t seen it before!"
Gao Hong truly hadn’t seen it before.
Back when they were training in the Wolf Fang Squad, just starting to undertake missions, they had little salary, let alone access to such exquisite wine.
Night Fire, on the other hand, had tasted good wine before.
While carrying out missions for the Dragon Tooth Squad in the northern Coral Sea, he mostly drank foreign liquors and had little authentic Chinese liquor.
Frankly, the Flame Country Guards have it tough!
The most disciplined Guards in the world are the Flame Country Guards!
The most imposing formations, the most standard stance, the best-looking lineup—also the Flame Country Guards!
But they also face the harshest conditions, being the Flame Country Guards.
Because their sense of duty does not allow them to indulge!
That’s why Flame Country Guards are the most duty-bound and responsible Guards!
Unlike Northern Federation soldiers, who, without beer and barbecue upon reaching their post, would strike and voice their discontent!
Back in Dragon Tooth, when Night Fire and the rest returned from missions, they would immediately start training again, with little chance to enjoy life.
Yang Chen remembered clearly that Little Demon’s biggest wish was for Yang Chen to take him to meet a young girl and lose his virginity! He said he couldn’t report to hell as a virgin!
But now...
Yang Chen still hadn’t fulfilled his promise to Little Demon.
"If you haven’t had it, drink more!" Yang Chen shifted his tone, "But don’t overdo it. There’ll be plenty of good things in the future, don’t ruin your appetite!"
"Understood!" The two immediately beamed, gathering to drink cup after cup.
After drinking a few cups, Elder Zhuo said he needed to rest, being of advanced age and not as resilient, with a fixed resting schedule he couldn’t break.
Yang Chen personally escorted Elder Zhuo upstairs, tucked him in, and carefully closed the door.
As soon as he shut the door, he heard a bang from outside.
Followed by a burst of angry curses.
Upon hearing it, Yang Chen immediately headed downstairs.
He saw two people tugging at each other, staggering out of the courtyard.
Once out, the two started grappling, exchanging heavy punches!
On the side, Chen Siyan anxiously stomped her feet. Seeing Yang Chen come out, she quickly pulled at him, urging, "Brother! Hurry and break them up! They’ll kill each other at this rate!"
In Chen Siyan’s view, the two were going at it viciously, with each punch to the face making loud thudding sounds, and both had bloody lips and noses, looking extremely brutal.
Yet, Yang Chen remained indifferent, silent, and did not step forward.
"Brother!" Chen Siyan was anxious, pulling at Yang Chen, "Why aren’t you stopping them?"
Yang Chen coldly replied, "If they want to fight, why should I stop them? If one kills the other, well, I’ll escort him to jail myself!"
"Brother!" Hearing this, Chen Siyan truly didn’t know what to do.
She pondered for a moment and turned to go fetch Elder Zhuo for intervention.
Yang Chen grabbed her, speaking coldly, "The old man is resting, don’t disturb him!"
"It’s better than them fighting to death!" Chen Siyan shouted.
Yang Chen, with a stern face, yanked her back, snapping, "Stay here!"
Chen Siyan, angrily glaring at Yang Chen, dared not disobey his orders.
And so, Yang Chen watched the two threw punches and kicks at each other.
While fighting, they exchanged curses.
"You coward! Why did you run away back then! Did you think I wouldn’t avenge you?"
"You’re not me! How could you know what I was thinking! How could you know what I endured!"
"What you endured? Do you know how much we endured for you?"
"Get lost! In all these years, not one of you came looking for me!"
"You’re a criminal! A felon! You expect us to come look for you! We’re Guards, specialized in catching criminals!"
"I’ll kill you!"
"I’ll damn well kill you too!"
The two continued tearing at each other.
Seeing that the fight was reaching a stalemate, Yang Chen wandered over, squatting beside them, looking at the pair and asking, "Enough? Need me to give each of you a knife so you can stab the other in the stomach for a swift end?"
Yang Chen’s presence caused both to shiver, sobering up considerably.
"Don’t stop now! Keep going! I thought you were enjoying it? Don’t tell me you’re out of strength! As elite Guards, if you don’t even have this endurance, how do you fight?"
The two glanced at each other, hastily standing straight, snapping to attention: "Reporting to the commander! We were wrong!"
"Wrong? In what way?" Yang Chen’s tone was very calm.
"We shouldn’t have fought each other!" they chorused.
Yang Chen seemed rather nonchalant, "It’s a sham fight, very normal, even newborns would squabble over milk with brothers. Kids fight, students brawl, so why wouldn’t you adults."
The two grew even more tense.
If Yang Chen were yelling and scolding them, it might mean he wasn’t truly angry.
But if he were this calm, it meant a storm was brewing inside!
At this moment, Yang Chen was surely in a state of rage!
Both men trembled with fear inwardly, but stood ramrod straight, afraid even to twitch.
Seeing them silent, Yang Chen let out a cold laugh.
"Night Fire!"
"Here!"
"Turn left!"
"Gao Hong!"
"Here!"
"Turn right!"
Swish!
The two stood facing each other.
"Look at each other," Yang Chen said coolly.
The two stared at each other, unblinking.
"Tell me, who is the person standing opposite you?"
"Brother!"
They shouted in unison.
Yang Chen laughed, "Wrong! Absolutely wrong! Take another good look, see who the person across from you really is, look closely! See it clearly!"
They still didn’t change their answer, "Brother!"
Hearing this, Yang Chen was thoroughly enraged.
He grabbed Gao Hong by the collar, hauling him right up to Night Fire, and roared at Night Fire: "Open your eyes wide and take a good look! See who this person really is! Brother? He’s no brother, he’s a foe! An enemy! You should’ve killed him, not left him beaten like this!"
Seeing Gao Hong’s bruised and swollen face up close, Night Fire felt a stirring within.
"Now you do the same! See who this person before you is!" Yang Chen released Gao Hong and pulled Night Fire by his collar to Gao Hong, letting him see.
"Both of you see clearly, the person opposite you is your enemy! Enemies ought to be hit hard! Why have you stopped?" Yang Chen said coldly.
