After slapping his face, Zhang Tie pushed the man onto the ground, causing him to shriek miserably. However, when he saw clearly the second lieutenant military uniform of the Norman Empire, the man felt like he was choked and stopped shrieking miserably. He stared at Zhang Tie with fear in his eyes. He didn't know why a military officer of the Norman Empire suddenly came to his home.
Barley and Doug had long known Sharwin's mom. They whispered something in Sharwin's mom's ears. Sharwin's mom glanced at Zhang Tie worriedly before nodding and leaving while wiping her tears.
Doug then closed the door once again.
Sharwin's bastard stepfather was a 50-odd man with half of his hair bald and unshaven face. He was rude and obscene. Just by looking at this guy's sneaky eyes, like those of a rat, one would have the urge to beat him up.
The guy who was lying on the ground looked at the three young men who were surrounding him with malicious intent and screamed in horror.
"What... what do you want... Doug, Barley, I know you... what do you want?"
"F * ck you!" Furious, Doug kicked the guy's lower abdomen, causing the obscene man to shriek miserably once again.
Barley and Doug were both furious. They had also heard the man's words just now. They could not believe that there was such a bastard in this world. He was worse than a beast. They could imagine what kind of life their good brother Sharwin had been living in this family over the years.
Barley and Doug went up and beat him up again. This time, the man could only groan on the ground.
"I... I'm going to sue you!"
The man groaned as he said this.
Hearing this man's words, Zhang Tie smiled.
"Barley, Doug, stop. If you keep beating him, you'll beat him to death. It would be too easy for such a scumbag who is hostile to the Norman Empire and dares to attack a military officer of the Norman Empire. I really want to see how he looks when he is hanged on the gallows. I'm sure he will look good! "
That man watched Zhang Tie with a terrified look, "What... what did you say?"
Zhang Tie ignored him and just stared at Barley. "Have you heard how this man cursed the Norman Empire and the Iron-Horn Army at home?"
With the tacit understanding between the brothers. After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Barley knew what Zhang Tie was going to do.
"This man is scolding the people of the Norman Empire as bastards and saying that all the people of the Iron-Horn Army should be hanged to death!" The moment Barley opened his mouth, he had already labeled this man with a crime worthy of being beheaded. After saying that, Barley nudged Doug who was dumbfounded with his elbow. Doug reacted at once as he hurriedly nodded. "Yes, yes, I also heard him say that!"
Zhang Tie sighed, "Alas. Previously, I just came here to catch up with my classmate; I had not imagined that I could find such an enemy of the Norman Empire. Out of the responsibility of a military officer of the Norman Empire, I rushed in. As soon as the man saw me, he actually attacked me. I had no choice but to strike him down! "
"I... when did I attack you?" Lying on the ground, the man's face turned pale due to fear.
Zhang Tie squatted down in front of him. In front of Barley and Doug, he grabbed one of the man's hands and slapped it on his own chest like swatting a mosquito. After that, he let go of the man's hand and stood up, asking Barley, "Did you see this man attack me?"
"Yes, we all saw this man punch you!" Barley immediately answered.
"Then, I will stay here to watch him. Don't let him escape. You two go outside and find a team of soldiers of the Norman Empire. Tell them that I've caught a saboteur who is hostile to the Norman Empire. Tell them to come here and catch him!" Saying this, Zhang Tie took out his military officer certificate from his pocket. "Take my military officer certificate. As long as they see this certificate, those soldiers will follow you here. If we don't hang these evil people to death, Blackhot City will never be tranquil! Additionally, this guy dared to attack a military officer of the Norman Empire. He is the most heinous criminal... "
The moment Barley took the military officer certificate from Zhang Tie, the man lying on the ground collapsed. At this moment, even the most stupid person would know that Zhang Tie wanted to kill him. For a small figure at the bottom of Blackhot City, it was as easy as stepping on a bug with Zhang Tie's military uniform. He only needed to say a word to kill them. Even if Zhang Tie killed him now, nobody would say a word.
The only thing that the man didn't understand was that he had not offended anyone of the Norman Empire, not to mention a military officer of the Norman Empire. How could a young military officer of the Norman Empire suddenly come to his home?
Seeing that Barley was about to leave after taking Zhang Tie's certificate, the man lying on the ground exerted all his strength and hugged Barley's leg, bursting into tears. "Barley... Barley... spare my life. I know I was wrong. I'm Sharwin's father. Do you want to kill your friend's father? I'm just a pitiful small figure, please spare my life. I will do whatever you want me to do..."
Seeing the man kneeling on the ground and hugging Barley's leg, even Zhang Tie felt sorry for Sharwin. Encountering such a bastard stepfather, it was better to dig a hole and bury him.
At this moment, Barley really wanted to kill this man. It was a shame for his younger brother to have such a scumbag stepfather. He looked at Zhang Tie, who sighed and shook his head.
Zhang Tie couldn't bear to see this man's cowardly look. Grabbing his collar, he lifted him up from the ground like lifting a broken bag and threw him onto a bed in the room.
Watching Zhang Tie, the man kept shrinking on the bed as he was full of fear towards Zhang Tie.
"Do you know who I am?"
The man shook his head!
"I'm Zhang Tie, a military officer of the Iron-Blood Camp of No. 39 Division of the Iron-Horn Army. I'm Sharwin's younger brother. I heard that you wanted to kill Sharwin, so I came here. I want to see who dared to treat my younger brother like that! "
The man stared at Zhang Tie as if he had seen a ghost. He had not imagined that Sharwin, who could be beaten and scolded by him at home, could have such a younger brother.
"I... I..." Seeing Zhang Tie's icy eyes, the man choked on his words.
"Do you know why you're still alive?"
The man swallowed his saliva. He continued to shake his head!
"Because of Sharwin, I kept you alive. Do you understand? No matter what, no matter how much you deserve to die, you're Sharwin's stepfather. You're Sharwin's stepfather, so I'm keeping you alive. If you lose this identity, I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death. Do you understand? "
The man nodded!
"Do you still prepare to report Sharwin to the Military Administration?"
The man nodded. Then he found that he was wrong and hurriedly shook his head.
…
When Zhang Tie, Barley, and Doug walked out of that messy and narrow room, Sharwin's mother was holding her two kids outside the room. Sharwin's mother was holding her two kids outside the house, looking at them with a worried face. Living a tough life at the bottom of society all year round, Sharwin's mother looked old and haggard. There was an obvious bruise and a palm print on her face.
Looking at the situation of Sharwin's house and the broken wooden door, Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside. Taking out five gold coins from his pocket, he silently pushed them into Sharwin's mother's hand.
… …
When they were about to leave this "brick building", Sharwin's mom chased after them with tears. "If you see Sharwin, you will have to be very careful. "If you see Sharwin, tell him not to worry about me. I can't be separated from this family anymore. I'm not a competent mother. I've let him down. I can't give him a warm home. He's given enough to this family over the years and suffered too much. Don't let him come back. He's grown up and can pursue his own life in the future … "
"We haven't found Sharwin yet!" Barley said, scratching his head.
"I know where he is. Barley, when you see him, give this to him. This is left to him by his biological father. He will understand!" Saying this, Sharwin's mother tore off the lower hem of her clothes. From the torn cotton cloth, she took out a golden ring with Sharwin's family name engraved on its surface.
… …
Not until the afternoon did Barley, Doug, Zhang Tie, Leit, Hista, and Bagdad find Sharwin.
Sharwin wasn't in the city. Instead, he was in a cemetery outside the city. He had been sitting in front of his father's grave for the whole night. When he saw the crowd, Sharwin raised his head. There were still some scars on his face, but he still smiled at the crowd.
Everybody felt that Sharwin had matured overnight!
Pain was the catalyst for a man to mature!
… …
For the whole day, Zhang Tie stayed with the other brothers of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood. After supper, they would drink in the chartered room from morning to night. Only when they were completely drunk did they disperse.
Sharwin put on his father's ring and said that he would not go home anymore. He would work outside to earn money and support himself. When he had enough money, he would bring his mother out of that house. Sharwin refused all the help that his brothers offered him. He said that if he got used to their help, he was afraid that they would not be able to be brothers in the future. Then, Sharwin burst into tears. Everyone became silent and started to drink.
The weapons that they had brought back from the survival training had already been sold by Barley, and they had earned less than eight gold coins in total. In the past month, the prices of various common weapons in Blackhot City had been dropping. Nobody could understand why the prices of these common weapons would drop when the war came.
However, Zhang Tie faintly guessed the reason — — one of the signs of the arrival of the chaotic world was that these common weapons used to kill people started to become cheaper. As for high-end materials, such as crystals and grains, the prices of things that could save people's lives started to rise sharply. The prices of high-end weapons were also rising.
Zhang Tie then told them that he might soon leave Blackhot City and go to Kalur to join the war.
Facing the huge wheel of time, all the teenagers were at a loss. Therefore, they continued to drink and talked about what had happened at school, Miss Daina, and the tree house during the survival training. They talked about the lightning bolt that had struck Zhang Tie, and what the others would do if someone died in the future...
When they talked about Miss Daina, Zhang Tie said that he was the only one who had not tried to hit a plane with Miss Daina in mind. However, nobody believed him!
The teenagers burst into laughter, made a scene, and then burst into tears...
When they were drunk, Zhang Tie's second lieutenant military uniform of the Norman Empire was taken off, including his trousers. The horny students then started to take off their clothes and try them on. They said that they wanted to feel the power of a second lieutenant of the Norman Empire.
Finally, Hista, that pervert, jumped onto the table with Zhang Tie's second lieutenant military uniform and started to do a striptease dance with those coquettish women. Everybody vomited...
...
Zhang Tie didn't know whether it was because of the small tree, but when he separated from Barley and the others, he still felt dizzy. After a few minutes, Zhang Tie felt sweaty due to the smell of alcohol, and he immediately became clear-headed.
At this moment, Blackhot City was already dimly lit.
After becoming clear-headed, Zhang Tie immediately understood what Alice was longing for and worrying about. Sharwin's experience taught him what a bad man meant for a family. The tears and sadness at the corners of Alice's eyes flashed in Zhang Tie's mind. When Zhang Tie realized it, he found that he was already standing downstairs of Alice's home.
The lights were on in Alice's home. Zhang Tie could faintly hear Alice talking to someone at home. That person seemed to be Alice's mom...
Zhang Tie stood downstairs of Alice's home for almost an hour. Every moment since he had met Alice flashed through his mind bit by bit.
Because Alice had started to fall in love with him, she chose to leave. When she didn't fall in love with him... The two of them could stay together without any scruples.
One cared about him, the other didn't care about him. That was why they had completely different attitudes.
The so-called life was sometimes so f * cked up!
Zhang Tie wanted to go upstairs and knock on Alice's door several times; however, he didn't do that because he didn't know what he could say to Alice at this moment and what promise he could make to her. He didn't want to hurt Alice, just like how Alice chose to bear silently at the last moment instead of hurting him that day …
Even a bit!
Alice was actually a good girl!
Finally, Zhang Tie chose to turn around and leave!
...
On the way back home, Zhang Tie found that the atmosphere in Blackhot City was much more solemn today. There were obviously more soldiers on duty on the streets. When he passed by the railway station, he saw a lot of military vehicles and ambulances driving out of the railway station and heading to various places in Blackhot City. At the beginning, Zhang Tie was a bit confused. However, when he passed by a hospital in Blackhot City, he found many military vehicles and ambulances parked outside the gate of the hospital. People were constantly carrying the wounded off the vehicles and sending them to the hospital. Zhang Tie then walked over there.
"Stop..." At the sight of Zhang Tie walking over there, the soldiers immediately stopped him. Not until Zhang Tie came to the place where the lamplight shone did they hurriedly salute towards Zhang Tie at the sight of his military uniform.
It was only a sergeant first class and a small team of soldiers who were in charge here.
"Sergeant first class, where did these wounded people come from?"
"These wounded people were just sent here from Kalur. These days, the frictions between the frontline troops and the Brilliant Feathers Army have been intensifying. As a result, more and more brothers have been killed and wounded. The frontline field hospital could no longer accommodate them. Therefore, some severely wounded brothers were sent to the rear by train for treatment and recuperation..."
...
The latest news made Zhang Tie's heart slightly sink. It seemed that the situation in Kalur had deteriorated faster than he had imagined. The Norman Empire and the Sun Dynasty were increasing their actions in Kalur region, which meant that the Iron-Blood Camp might leave Blackhot City earlier and head for Kalur.
Zhang Tie was not a battle maniac, so this news was not good for him. The rapidly developing situation made Zhang Tie feel more and more pressured.
With a heavy heart, Zhang Tie returned to his apartment on Avenue Monet. A four-wheeled carriage was parked outside the gate of the apartment. In this age, carriages were also the favorite means of transportation for many people. Compared to cars, carriages had the advantage that they were not that troublesome to use. Additionally, that carriage was the most commonly seen rental carriage in Blackhot City. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't care about it.
When Zhang Tie fished out his key to open the door, the four beautiful girls of Rose Association, Angel, Sharapova, Susan, and Fiona, who he had met in the hospital, got off the carriage.
The four girls were all dressed very beautifully today. They were all wearing thick shawls. Although Zhang Tie could not see what was under the shawls, he could at least see that their hairstyles and makeup were very delicate. It seemed that they had been tidied up meticulously.
The moment the four girls got off the carriage, it drove away. The driver turned around and glared at Zhang Tie with an admiring look that all men understood.
"Are you here for me?" Seeing the four girls standing in front of him, Zhang Tie asked. He felt that the four girls had been waiting for him here for a long time.
"We've been waiting for you here for two hours. As a gentleman, don't you want to invite us in?" Angel, who had long blonde hair, said in an alluring tone.
