Chapter 41: A Wonderful World~
Chapter 41: A Wonderful World~
On the other side, in a room within a residential area, three men were sitting.
The three of them were Waver, Alexander, and an unknown English gentleman who claimed to be Zhuge Liang. They were sitting in front of the television, watching a live news broadcast.
Since being defeated by Tom last night, Waver and Alexander had shut themselves in the house, a form of self-isolation.
As the saying goes, you have to pay for your actions.
They had been so arrogant, declaring war in the sky last night, but after getting into a fight, they were instantly killed. Such a level of humiliation couldn't be easily forgotten.
"...As you can see, the following is the video footage of the suspect."
Just as the words were spoken, a video appeared on the screen. It showed a person running away, and it was none other than Mr. Bai Song, who was forced to play marathon early in the morning.
From the screen, you could see that this person was wearing a completely sealed outfit. Let's not mention the lower part, but the upper body was covered in a thick white long-sleeved T-shirt. Both hands were wearing gloves, and most importantly, the neck and head were covered by a black hood, only revealing the eyes and mouth.
Looking at the neck, it was even more bizarre. There was a cat wrapped around it, completely blocking the neck.
All in all, this person had only their eyes and mouth exposed. With such an outfit, even a vampire would say, 'I'm so high right now.'
Wearing such an outfit, no matter where they went, they would undoubtedly be the most eye-catching person on the street. Coupled with the plastic bag they were holding in their hand, if you said they weren't a robber, probably out of ten people, ten or even nine wouldn't believe it.
"This guy... is that person from last night, right?" Waver remained silent for a long time while looking at Bai Song on the screen, then turned to Alexander and asked.
"There's no mistake, it's definitely that guy!" The moment Alexander saw the blue and white cat wrapped around Bai Song's neck on the screen, his face immediately turned red, and he gritted his teeth, "Even if that cat turns to ashes, I'd still recognize it!"
The reason for his blushing was purely out of anger!
After coming back, Waver described to him that he was instantly killed by this damn cat Servant's surprise attack.
Originally, last night he thought it was because of his own lack of skill that he was defeated in an instant in a way he couldn't even realize. But, unexpectedly, he found himself being attracted to look back, and then that damn cat just hit him on the head with a club.
A club! Being knocked down by a single blow, can you imagine the immense psychological damage to a child who wants to become a conqueror?
And not to mention the psychological damage, even now Alexander still feels a slight headache, and that lump on his head is still there!
Last night, he shouldn't have thought that since the cat was also fighting on foot, as someone who is destined to become a great emperor, he should also strive for relative fairness. So he directly engaged in combat with the cat. It was truly the stupidest decision he made last night.
Looking back now, he should have just unleashed his Noble Phantasm and killed that monstrous cat!
If he were riding his beloved horse, Bucephalus, he and Bucephalus would be like one, and defeating a mere cat with slightly better sword skills and sneakier tricks would be as easy as taking candy from a baby.
"Are you sure you would recognize it even if it turned to ashes?" Hearing this, Waver looked at Alexander up and down with a face of distrust.
Last night, he witnessed Tom turning to ashes with his own eyes. It was truly blackened like charcoal. If he didn't know in advance that it was a cat, Waver would have thought it was industrial waste. If Alexander could recognize Tom in that state, Waver would dare to eat this television screen on the spot, without any sauce!
Well... even though Waver knew the nature of Alexander's statement was just to emphasize that he would never forget that monstrous cat.
However, Waver couldn't help but question it. If you ask why, it's probably because he's a little annoyed right now.
After Alexander was defeated in an instant last night, Waver really thought he was in a superposition state of being sent and not sent, just needing Tom or Hephaestion to observe him.
"No, I can't bear this anymore. Join me in battle, master!"
After saying these words, a visibly enraged Alexander stood up and drew his sword.
Seeing that Alexander seemed really intent on fighting, Waver was frightened and stood up, placing his right hand on Alexander's head and pushing him down. "Idiot! Idiot, idiot! It's daytime now, how can you think of fighting during the day? What will you do if the overseer asks you to have tea?!"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Master, you pressed on the lump!" Feeling the intense pain in his head, Alexander suddenly felt his legs go weak and promptly sat back down in his seat.
"I did it on purpose!" Waver thought, isn't that obvious? Without pressing on the lump on his head, how could he have possibly kept Alexander down with just his own strength?
Zhuge Liang, who was observing the harmonious scene, couldn't help but fan himself with his white feather fan, wearing a smile on his face.
Rarely being firm, Waver was about to reprimand Alexander when he noticed Zhuge Liang casually laughing on the side. He immediately shouted at him, "And you, do you think you can escape? Why did you throw me out of the window last night?!"
Since coming back last night, Waver had been feeling uneasy and hadn't had the chance to question Zhuge Liang about why he threw him out of the window.
Now Zhuge Liang was mocking him up close, and he couldn't let this slide. It should be noted that when Alexander forcibly took him away earlier, he had briefly taken off from the back of the horse while ascending. It was truly too exhilarating. If Alexander had reacted a little slower, he would have bid farewell to this beautiful world.
Even the manner of departure wouldn't have been so graceful, falling from such a height and turning into a puddle of mush.
"What did you say? I don't understand. I was just watching the news," Zhuge Liang quickly chose to play dumb when Waver questioned him.
But whether he said it or not, the feeling of throwing Waver out of the window last night was still very refreshing, an indescribable sense of exhilaration that made him feel much clearer.
If possible, he would like to witness more scenes like that. In that case, his overworked brain in a certain evil organization under the surname Jia would be able to find some relief, right?
Thinking about being summoned here without needing to work overtime and being able to enjoy himself, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh.
"What a wonderful day."
"What's so wonderful about it?!" Upon hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Waver was taken aback. He summoned two Servants, and they both tried to kill their masters?! First, this suspicious man claiming to be Zhuge Liang gave him a false imperial edict and pushed him into the brazier, while the other one tried to take his head along at supersonic speed. It was fortunate that they didn't kill him on the spot.
