Tasopulo totally ignored Reannie’s affectionate action toward Wei Xiao Biao after she became excited. He raised his thumb to Wei Xiao Bei and said, “Your magic trick is flawless.”

Tasopulo regarded Wei Xiao Bei’s action of getting a bottle of mineral water from nowhere as a display of magic. He then twisted open the bottle and started drinking.

The nervousness before made him sweat a lot, and naturally he became thirsty now.

“Yeah, everyone says I’m good.”

Wei Xiao Bei calmly smiled while maintaining his composure and put down Reannie who was hugging his body.

Wei Xiao Bei didn’t think that he was a gentleman. He had watched flicks about foreigners, college students, teachers, and nurses.

However, when a girl threw herself toward him, Wei Xiao Bei still managed to stick to his principles.

Besides, Wei Xiao Bei knew that Reannie had feelings for him. However, these feelings weren’t love, but the excitement after being pleasantly surprised from finding a relative that she could trust in this dangerous environment.

It’s just the transference of a girl’s trust toward her parents onto this big brother that came from the same origin.

Suddenly, Wei Xiao Bei felt that his personality was indeed great.

The only regret was that when Reannie’s soft body really did leave him, Wei Xiao Bei had to take a deep breath to calm his disturbed mental state.

The three people sat down at the roof top. They were barbequing some food while chatting. The atmosphere was indeed great.

Reannie even invited Wei Xiao Bei to take a tour at her family’s dojo after going back to the real world.

When the conversation reached this point, Reannie looked at Wei Xiao Bei with curiosity and said, “Brother Wei, which style of martial art do you practice?”

“Bajiquan. Yours appear to be Xingyiquan?”

Wei Xiao Bei managed to assess Reannie’s martial arts after the time spent together. Although her martial arts wasn’t as great as Wei Xiao Bei’s little senior apprentice sister, Cheng Si Si, she still had some foundation in martial arts.

From her action, it should be Xingyiquan.

Xingyiquan was one of the China’s top 3 internal martial arts similar to Taiji and Bagua. It originated from Yue Fei’s martial art, evolving from its art of spear. Thus, it prioritized close-combat and advancing along with moving while attacking. This martial art was like breaching the dike of the Yellow River, suitable for battle formations and did not appear flashy.

As the saying goes, “Eyes sharp, heart cruel, legs kick between others’ legs!” was describing Xingyiquan’s quick and sudden moves, putting oneself as the center and striking first in a fight.

Listening to Wei Xiao Bei’s question, Reannie quickly nodded and said with surprise, “So it is Bajiquan. No wonder brother Wei is so powerful.”

Wei Xiao Bei smiled and did not ask further questions.

Bajiquan required attention to the power of skills, but it also had a high requirement for strength. Of course, Wei Xiao Bei’s strength was basically the result of adding evolution points to it.

The three people chatted for a while. Suddenly, Wei Xiao Bei stood up raised his right index finger to make a shush gesture and said, “Someone’s coming!”

With Wei Xiao Bei’s hearing ability, he could now easily detect the footsteps at a staircase within 100 meters.

The other two didn’t hear anything, but they trusted Wei Xiao Bei. Thus, Tasopulo took out his flintlock and stood beside the staircase’s entry while Reannie held her cavalry sword.

Wei Xiao Bei thought that the footsteps sounded familiar, so he looked down while standing at the stairway’s entrance. He could not help but frown and said, “It’s Albert and Alan.”

Why did they come here?

Wei Xiao Bei thought and immediately understood. Reannie and Tasopulo seemed to be familiar with this place so they must have been here before. It should be the same for Albert and his brother.

“They are here too?”

Reannie did not question their arrival but displayed a face of loathing as the actions of the twin brothers completely ruined her impression of them.

Any human being would dislike such immoral behavior, especially when the one that was abandoned was themselves.

When Tasopulo found out that it was the twin brothers, he was furious. He had the impulse to kill them with the flintlock.

Wei Xiao Bei gestured them to calm down and go back to sit.

When Albert and his brother reached the top floor and saw Reannie and others, their facial expression immediately changed.

This is a common phenomenon. Anyone, as long as they could still feel guilt, wouldn’t feel good after abandoning their friend and seeing the abandoned friend afterward. They would naturally feel guilty.

Looking at the situation, Wei Xiao Bei was glad that the enemy still had some humanity in them.

However, the things that happened next made him feel that human nature could change easily.

Albert looked at Reannie with guilt and apology. He still liked Reannie, and he was previously frightened and ran away, but he felt really bad after that.

Seeing Reannie now, he became worried that his previous action towards her had affected her impression on him.

Of course, Albert didn’t know that Reannie’s impression of him was already not good.

When Albert was about to say something, Alan, the younger twin brother, suddenly moved his nose and opened his eyes widely. He excitedly asked, “There is a barbeque smell! Do you guys have barbeque?!”

Tasopulo’s character tended to be more straightforward. When he listened to Alan’s words, he was extremely annoyed and shouted, “Yes, but we finished it. Why? Are you going to steal?”

Tasopulo said that because he disliked the twin brothers, but he regretted after saying it because he thought that they might really steal it from them since they weren’t good people.

“Yes, I am stealing it! Stay still and give me the barbeque. I’m hungry!”

Alan was a simple-minded and a straight-forward person. Even if it’s crime, he would do it boldly and confidently. Before finishing his words, he aimed his flintlock toward the three people as if he was ready for a fight.

Seeing Alan’s actions, Tasopulo did not show his weakness as he raised the flintlock in his hand and said, “Was I right? Even if you have a gun, do you think I don’t have one?”

In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere became heavy. Reannie started to feel nervous as the hand that was holding cavalry sword started to sweat a lot. Although she was already 18 years old, she did not have much experience of society. It was the first time that she encountered an incident like this.

“Alan, what are you doing?”

Seeing Tasopulo being tough, Albert turned his sight and pretend to scold Alan. He let Alan put down his flintlock. He then laughed and tried to mediate the situation, “Alan has overdone it. I apologize for him. However, we are all allies, and we’re hungry. Can you give us some barbeque?”

In truth, Albert was really thick-skinned as person.

Wei Xiao Bei considered himself to not be as good as others, but if was in such a situation, he would never be able to say such words.

“Allies? Sorry, we don’t have any allies that abandoned their teammates and escaped. You are not welcome here. Please leave.”

Tasopulo did not accept it. For someone that was as naive as him, there was only right or wrong, and there was no grey zone. In fact, if it wasn’t for the fact that they survived the Dust World together, Tasopulo would have already fired a warnign shot.

“What did you say?” Alan shouted impulsively while aiming his flintlock at Tasopulo.

Albert didn’t stop Alan this time but looked at Reannie and said, “Reannie, come with us. We will protect you, they cannot.”

Obviously, Albert’s main intention was to take Reannie away.

Reannie gave him the cold shoulder and did not say a word. She was speechless toward Albert’s thick-skin.

Seeing her stay silent, Albert was happy. He narcissistically thought that she still had feelings for him. He quickly walked toward Reannie and extended his arms, intending to pull her to his side.

Before Reannie could avoid his advance, Wei Xiao Bei’s thick, solid body was already blocking before him. Albert’s extended hand then touched Wei Xiao Bei’s body.

Such a strong body! So much stronger than me!

Albert was surprised!

Wei Xiao Bei’s physique returned to his previous height. With the increase of muscle density, his muscles did not bulge that much, thus giving others the misconception that he was small and weak. However, one could only realize that Wei Xiao Bei’s body was much stronger than an average person when they touch him.

Albert quickly regained his focus from thinking about Wei Xiao Bei’s strong body and said, “Well, so what if you have a strong body? Can a strong body be stronger than a flintlock?”

The flintlock here couldn’t be taken lightly. It could kill a cow with one shot!

“Boy! I warned you before!” Albert simply did not see the scene where Wei Xiao Bei was hit by the bullets from the English soldiers. If not, he wouldn’t have taken the risk.

Albert shouted fiercely at Wei Xiao Bei while jamming the muzzle of the flintlock onto Wei Xiao Bei’s chest.

He was extremely dissatisfied with this pretty boy. Ever since he appeared, many changes had happened.

Reannie that was initially smiling at him didn’t even talk to him now. She only treated the pretty boy nicely.

This is not real world. No one will know even if I kill him!

Tasopulo?

Hehe, what evidence could he have when return to the real world?

Maybe he witnessed the murder in a dream?

Albert was a decisive villain indeed.

He acted on his impulse and did not hesitate at all!

In fact, in a lot of movies, dramas, and even novels, the villains would usually speak too much and would eventually be defeated by the righteous main character.
