Chapter 17: Every Man Should Stand Tall and Strong
Welsh pulled his sister along, and without even looking at them, he quietly opened the door and walked out.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t kill these despicable liars, it was just that he didn’t want to cause any more trouble.
This world was different from the Lancaster Continent. They held the law in high regard.
Thus, Welsh only used this method to warn them, telling them that they were not to be trifled with.
They would never dare to go to a residential area to take revenge either.
They, the scum of society, were like those rats in the sewers that could not be seen.
They could only stay in the dark corners forever.
Welsh had just disassembled the guns to make them lose the courage to take revenge on the spot.
The guns that had been disassembled into puzzle pieces would take at least a few minutes to be installed to the point that they could be used even if the veterans were here. freew(e)bnovel.(c)om
With such a long time frame, Welsh had already brought Alice onto the streets that were full of people.
And these people were just like what was said before, they were like rats in the sewer. Under the gaze of everyone, they did not dare to use a mass destruction weapon like guns in the street.
In this way, Welsh would not even need to make a move. The police would eliminate all of them.
After Welsh brought his sister out of the room, he suddenly realized that the people in the bar were looking at them differently.
Most of them did not even have the courage to look at Welsh and his sister. A small number of them who were curious and dared to look at them had eyes filled with respect.
It was obvious that they had also heard the gunshots that had just sounded.
Welsh ignored the gazes of these people and walked out of the crowd.
Along the way, Alice was looking at her brother Welsh with a curious gaze.
Welsh could not stand her gaze, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times and he said, “If you have any questions, just ask.”
“Can you not tell mom and dad about what happened today?”
Alice thought for a long time and decided to ask this question first.
Welsh replied, “No!”
After Alice heard that, she began to look at Welsh with a pitiful gaze.
“Don’t look at me like that. ‘No’ means no. Do you have any other questions?”
After being stared at by her for a while, Welsh couldn’t stand it anymore and quickly changed the topic.
“Alright, then I’ll ask another question.”
As expected, after hearing Welsh’s words, Alice’s attention was immediately distracted.
“Brother, when did you become so powerful? You can actually defeat so many people so easily. Did you learn any kung fu? I remember that you used to hate these things the most? How did you become so powerful all of a sudden?” Alice looked at Welsh’s face and asked curiously.
Welsh’s face was expressionless, and he began to think of an excuse to change the topic.
“Is it because you suddenly realized that it is really dangerous for a good-looking boy like you to be out there, and then in order to protect yourself, you began to seriously learn male self-defense techniques?”
Just as Welsh was about to make up an excuse to avoid the other party, he suddenly heard Alice say this, with a ‘I’ve guessed the truth myself’ face.
“I haven’t even said anything, and she’s already completely imagined it herself.”
Hearing Alice’s imagined reason, even though it was a little ridiculous, it was still plausible. Welsh nodded in agreement.
“Anyway, it was just a random excuse. Since your reason is so good and you’ve convinced yourself, I can’t be bothered to think about it anymore,” Welsh thought to himself.
“Yes, you’re right! Your guess is not wrong at all.”
“Right, I knew it.”
Looking at Alice’s expression of ‘see how smart I am’, Welsh was speechless.
After that, as if they could not find a topic to talk about, the two of them walked in silence.
“Brother, can I ask you one more question?”
Just as they were about to reach the door of their house, Alice asked again.
“Speak.”
Welsh felt speechless.
“Brother, I heard that there are many girls chasing you at school, and there are even many with very rich families. Why haven’t I heard anything about you falling in love? And the Mafia boss just now…”
Alice looked at her brother seriously.
“If you become their boyfriend, you’ll definitely have nothing to worry about in the future. Why did you never agree? Or do you not like women, but…men?”
Hearing Alice’s words getting more and more ridiculous, Welsh was speechless, and he began to regret why he had saved her so quickly.
‘I should have let her suffer.’
But in order not to make her get more distorted than she already was, Welsh hurriedly explained, “I’m not. Don’t talk nonsense.”
Looking at Welsh’s serious expression, Alice also knew that her guess was a little ridiculous.
But curiosity still pushed her, making her assume the look of a curious cat once again and opened her mouth to ask.
“Then why didn’t you agree to any of them? Some of them are also very good-looking.”
After thinking for a while, she added, “And their families are very rich.”
Welsh said, “Their family’s money is their money. What does it have to do with me?”
Alice looked at Welsh with a silly and cute look, as if she was looking at some monster.
“If you become their boyfriend, won’t their money be your money?”
She pondered for a while and then added, “And it is natural for you men to use the women’s money? It has always been like this since ancient times.”
The more Welsh listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. Wasn’t this asking me to be a mistress?
“I’m an Archmage, the strongest person in the Lancaster Magical Continent, and you want me to live off a woman? And you even mentioned the ‘transvestite’ Mafia boss. I didn’t agree to it even though Emily’s family was so rich, I just don’t want to live off a woman. You still want me to live off a woman like the ‘transvestite’ Mafia boss?” Welsh thought to himself.
After thinking for a while, Welsh felt that although he was already acting manly, sometimes it was alright to say it out too.
As Welsh thought of this, the expression on his face also became serious.
He turned his head to look at Alice’s eyes and said with a serious face.
“No matter how much money others give you, it is still someone else’s. Only through your own hard work can it be considered your own. A man should rely on himself.”
Halfway through his words, Welsh suddenly turned his head to look at the sky.
“The bones of the men in this world have all gone soft. Someone needs to bring back the lost masculinity.”
Alice’s mouth was wide open as she watched her younger brother say such inappropriate words.
But the strange thing was that she did not find it funny. Instead, she was influenced by his imposing manner.
She placed her hands on her face and imagined herself entering the world he mentioned. Every man who stood there was a man who stood tall and strong.
And most importantly, a woman didn’t have to pay for a house if she married a man.
