Chapter 25: My Brother Lectures Me

  "It's not that I didn't give you the opportunity, it's that I gave you the opportunity, but you yourselves don't cherish it, or rather, dare not cherish it." My brother said coldly, looking at Gao Tianwei and the others.

  After finishing speaking, my brother patted my shoulder and drove me away.

  When I was about to leave, none of the three men dared to take a step forward and chase after me. Instead, I saw the fervent passion in the hearts of those two girls, perhaps they were captivated by my brother's aura just now.

  Just now, my brother's continuous movements plus the force of one hand to throw Zhang Kun out is enough to show that my brother is a master. It seems that even if the four great golden immortals and Wang Jian join forces together, they are not likely to be my brother's opponent. Moreover, in their hearts, they have already developed fear towards me, so from the momentum point of view, they have already lost. Therefore, even if they take action, they will definitely lose without a doubt.

  My brother can be said to have won completely this time, he himself was unscathed, Wang Jian was kicked four times and fell on his back, Gao Tianwei was scared out of his wits, Zhang Kun was beaten up badly.

  I admire my brother even more, I really hope that one day I can become like my brother, a person who can charge into the enemy's camp with irresistible force and defeat the enemy thoroughly.

  "Did you see that? Today, my brother didn't rely on anything else, just with a pair of fists, he destroyed the greatest power in your school's first year. Little Jie, I'm sure you think it's harder to deal with them than climbing to heaven, right?" My brother lit a cigarette for himself and said lightly, "Actually, many things are not as difficult as you imagine, so to defeat the enemy, what you need most is to establish self-confidence."

  "However—" I really want to say, I don't have such a terrible fighting power as you do. If I were to go in the past, even if it's an ambush, I estimate that I could only take down two at most.

  "But what?" my brother asked me.

  "I'm not as fierce as you," I said honestly to my brother.

  "It's just superficial," my brother encouraged me, "Little Jie, you will one day surpass me."

  "Logically speaking, I came to find Zhang Kun to settle accounts today. Do you know why he took a knife and aimed it at Gao Tianwei? It's actually a very foolish act, taking out a knife in public, if someone calls the police, it will definitely cause trouble." My brother asked me.

  "Why?" I wondered.

  "For you, I'm willing to be foolish this once. Everyone's been foolish at some point in their lives; it's just a matter of who they're being foolish for. I hope my foolishness this time can bring me what I hope for." My brother explained to me, "The reason I took such a risk is because you're still immature. Today, Zhang Kun just used a small trick and you became like an unbridled wild horse. If Gao Tianwei uses a bigger scheme on you next time, you'll definitely be expelled directly."

  "So, I need to teach them a lesson. They're just a bunch of thugs, and verbal warnings won't work on them. If you don't give them a taste of their own medicine and let them shed some blood, they'll never know what it means to be afraid." My brother laughed and said, "Believe me, from now on, even if they do try to scheme against you, they won't be so despicable."

  "At least they won't let you face the school authorities"

  "You're too naive, Zhang Kun told you to take action and you did, this obvious provocation method you can't see, it makes me very disappointed. Since you want to mix in, then you have to learn to endure. If you had endured at that time, there wouldn't be all the subsequent troubles. Everything today is caused by that one punch, you must remember today's humiliation and also learn from it." My brother asked me "Do you understand?"

  "I understand"

  "Right, if you can't put down your dignity, then die with it. You must learn to endure," my brother said with a smile. "Okay, let's get to the point. This is what we're going to discuss next."

  "I've told you before, I won't interfere with your future path. There are 36 professions, and every profession has its own master. You can be whatever you want, I don't mind, as long as you have the talent and ability."

  I nodded seriously and said, "Let's make a deal to test whether you have this talent and ability when it comes to being a hoodlum."

  "What kind of deal?" I asked my brother.

  "Before the new year, I want you to replace Gaotianwei and sit in the position of Gaoyi Banbu. One year later, I want to see you being the most powerful person in the whole school. If you can't do it, then just study hard and prepare for the university entrance exam." My brother said seriously, without any joking tone.

  "Ah?" I opened my mouth in difficulty, this seemed even harder than ascending to heaven.

  "What? No confidence?" My brother looked at me coldly. "Then starting from tomorrow, you'd better study hard for me."

  "Not that I'm not confident" I sniffed at the mouthwash "Is it just a bit too short of time?"

  I remembered the promise I made to Liu Kai in my school dormitory, what I wanted was the entire No. 1 Middle School, and what I wanted to be was the campus overlord, this is not just a child's boastful words, I am very serious, it's just that my brother gave me too little time.

  "It's not short, you've always wanted to surpass me, right? This is the time it took for my brother to take down both High School No. 1 and Middle School No. 1 when he was in high school." My brother sneered with a smile.

  I nodded and said "Okay". My brother smiled and said, "Get off the car, bro. I'm not making things difficult for you. If you want to mix with others, then make a name for yourself. If you can't, then study hard and make our parents happy. It's either one or the other."

  "Of course, I'd rather you be like the protagonist and defy the heavens, being both the big shot on campus and the top scorer in the college entrance exams. Then, I'll call you 'brother'. My brother teased me, "Alright, bro has something to do, get off the bus."

  "Uh-huh", I nodded "I won't let you down for sure".

  "My brother paused, his face darkening. 'To be honest, I don't like your decision. This path has no end, and once you're in society, you'll find that the people above have their heads stuck in their waistbands every time they go out. They've got one foot on the gate of hell and the other on the prison door, with bloodstained hands, stepping on others' corpses to move forward. The words are dirty, but very realistic.'"

  "But there is always someone who can grasp the power of the world with a sober hand and sleep on the knees of a beauty." My brother smiled and said, "The state I'm pursuing is just like this, only my road still has a long way to go. If I don't make it, then you have to complete it for me."

  "Brother, what are you talking about!" I don't want to hear my brother's depressing words.

  "Alright, I'm leaving. You deal with the troubles in school yourself. If someone from outside comes to bother you, find Qiangzi. This place is under Qiangzi's control." My brother chuckled and said "Xiao Jie, you have to be careful around women. Many heroes have fallen because of them. As they say, 'a beauty can bring a hero to his knees'. Don't let yourself get ruined by a woman. In this world, brothers are more reliable."

  "What's wrong, did your sister-in-law hurt your feelings?" I couldn't help but tease my brother.

  "My brother is teaching you a lesson, okay? After all these years of struggling, I've finally figured out this truth. Today, I'm telling it to you, so remember it well. This is the experience that your big brother has gained through many years of trials and tribulations." My brother said with a smile.
