On the rooftop, Weston and Precht quietly watched the commotion in front of the tavern.
"Kalu, stop wasting words with him, just attack!"
"No rush, Falu! Let me hear what this kid has to say."
Kalu and Falu, these were the names of the two knockoff Tao Pai Pai.
Based on their words and actions, and the reactions of the crowd, it was not difficult to deduce that these twin brothers were two of the Seven-Legged Serpent's seven assassins.
Weston then turned his gaze to the man opposite the twin brothers.
Spiky Hair, sunglasses, black trench coat, metal chains, jeans, skull badge... This was a man with a very punk style, from his hairstyle to his clothes!
"Kekeke..."
The Punk-style Man let out a strange laugh: "Personal grudges, don't bring the guild into this!"
"I'm here today, just to find you two brothers and settle the score from last time."
From the sound of it, these three clearly had a past grudge.
"We have no interest in those we've defeated."
"Last time, I was injured first, and you two brothers ambushed me afterward, which is why I lost; today my injuries have healed, and it's a head-on confrontation. Not to mention you two brothers, even if two more people came, I could still win!"
The punk man's words were extremely arrogant!
This person is from the Dark Night Poison Scorpions, and can confront the assassin brothers alone... Without a doubt, he should be a high-ranking member of the Dark Night Poison Scorpions, at least one of the six core Wizards.
"What did you say?!"
"Show me what you've got, if you have any skill!"
"If I don't cripple you today, I'll cut off this braid!"
One of the twin brothers, the one named Falu, was clearly short-tempered. Provoked by the punk man's simple words, he immediately got angry, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to fight.
The surrounding extras immediately started chattering—
Passerby A: "Hiss... Falu, that guy, actually made such a big bet?!"
Passerby B: "Eh? A bet?"
Passerby C: "Falu values that braid the most on normal days. To think he'd say something like that, it seems he's really angry today!"
Passerby B: "No way?! It's just a braid, what kind of big bet is that?!"
Passerby D: "Damn it! How much determination did he make?!"
Passerby B: "Hey, hey, hey... So, isn't it just a braid?! Could it be that the braid has some special meaning? Can anyone answer me?!!!"
Just as everyone thought the three were about to fight... Dong!!
Kalu actually turned around and punched his brother hard in the face.
Everyone: "?!"
"Big Brother?!"
Falu was sent spinning seven or eight times in the air by the punch, falling heavily to the ground. Yet, he seemed fine, raising his head to look at his brother with shock and confusion.
"Falu, what nonsense were you just saying?!"
Kalu's shout echoed through half the street, tears streaming down his face.
"Did you forget Dad's last words? This braid is a symbol of our family in the assassin world, possessing supreme honor, and absolutely cannot be joked about!!"
This roar was like cold water poured over Falu. His eyes instantly cleared, and he immediately covered his swollen face, also shedding two lines of tears, filled with shame.
"Wahhh... Big Brother, I'm sorry! I was too impulsive!!"
"Sigh... It's all because Big Brother didn't teach you well before."
"Wahhh... Big Brother!!"
"Wahhh... Little Brother!!!"
The two brothers hugged each other tightly, tears streaming to the ground.
Passerby A: "Wahhh... Such touching brotherly affection!!"
Passerby C: "To think this small braid held such a heavy meaning behind it. I used to mock it for being ugly, I deserve to die!"
Passerby D: "You must do your best, Kalu, Falu!!"
Passerby B: "Oh, oh, oh! So that's the meaning of that braid!"
After the emotional outburst, Falu and Kalu quickly wiped away their tears and stood up.
"Kalu!"
"Big Brother, I'm here!"
"As a man, since the words have been spoken, they cannot be retracted!"
"Eh? But..."
"No matter what, Big Brother will stand with you today!"
"Good! Then let's show him the might of us Fighting Brothers, just like last time!"
Passerby A: "This battle today will surely be an earth-shattering one, perhaps even legendary! I'm starting to look forward to it!"
Passerby C: "Ahhh—!! I feel the blood in my entire body boiling!!"
Passerby D: "Me too, my soul is trembling non-stop!!"
Passerby B: "No way?! What's so exciting about this? Your emotions are a bit too rich, aren't they?! Are you guys shills hired to hype things up?!!"
On the rooftop.
Weston, Precht: "..."
Such idiotic personalities!
Such inexplicable passion!
Such an abstract development!
It's almost suffocating... but why does it feel so much like Fairy Tail's art style?
"Take this!!"
With a loud shout, the Fighting Brothers attacked together, pouncing on the punk man.
One up, one down, one left, one right, their timing, strength, speed, and angles were all impeccable.
If it were an ordinary person, it would be impossible to escape this pincer attack!
But the punk man remained cold-faced, standing still.
"Too scared to dodge?!"
"Die!!"
Seeing this, brothers Kalu and Falu intensified their attacks.
Just as their fists and feet were about to touch the punk man...
"How naive!"
The punk man sneered mockingly, and two silver-white iron chains instantly shot out from his sleeves like slithering snakes.
Boom—!!
The chains contained incredibly powerful force, instantly sending the Fighting Brothers flying!
"What?!"
This unexpected scene made the onlookers gasp in surprise.
The punk man raised his arms, and the two chains immediately flew out with a 'clank,' binding the Fighting Brothers in mid-air with several 'clangs,' then sharply retracting.
Looking at the Fighting Brothers, who were pulled in front of him and struggled futilely in the chains, the punk man's lips curled into a cold, merciless smile.
"Hey, I think I heard you say something about what would happen to this braid if you lost, right?"
The Fighting Brothers' bodies stiffened simultaneously, and expressions of terror appeared on their faces.
"Don't... don't... no! This is our family's honor!!"
"We two brothers will leave here and never appear before you again, please let us go..."
Swish swish—!!
Before the two brothers could finish speaking, the blades at the end of the chains slashed down with two merciless force.
