Chapter 041: Returning Home (First Update)
I have to say that Leonid and Claude's reaction was also a bit unexpected by Raymond.
Of course, this kind of nonsense is his nonsense, although the death shooting sub-personality does master the 'unscientific marksmanship' that can make the bullet turn, but it is definitely not achieved by any wrist shake.
But when Claude asked him like this, he couldn't just say nothing, right? So I just made up some interesting stories to pass the time.
As for whether they believe it or not, that's not something for Raymond to consider.
But even Raymond didn't expect that Leonid and Claude would buy it like this.
Leonid will defend the so-called gunfighting, and Raymond can understand a little, because Leonid lost on this, and he will definitely not deny the marksmanship that defeated him.
Even for the sake of face, he has to help Raymond blow a wave.
On the contrary, Claude also supports gun fighting so much, which makes Raymond a little surprised.
"When I go back, I will immediately help you arrange the internal announcement and publicity of the comprehensive combat class, and it should be almost ready before the start of the next semester." Leonid said again at this time.
"Then I'm bothering you."
"No trouble, no trouble...... Leonid's attitude towards Raymond at this time was a world away from the reluctant politeness he had when he was in his office.
"The War Academy can get Dr. Raymond, your killer feature, it's too late for him to be happy, how can he be troublesome." Claude's tone sounded a little jealous.
However, with his city government, it is impossible to really write all his emotions on his face, and the jealousy shown at this time is just deliberate to put it bluntly.
Raymond is not the kind of stunned young man who mixed with society on the first day, so naturally he can't be complacent because of this, so he just smiled and didn't say anything more.
Since it's already the middle of the semester, even if Raymond wants to open a course, he can't decide today that he can start tomorrow, and he still has to wait for the start of the next semester anyway, and now it will be more than a month before the start of the next semester.
More than a month, it is certainly not a long time.
But for Raymond, who has been in this world for less than a week in total, more than a month is not a short time.
At this time, he was able to sort out a few things.
The first is about the relationship network of the original owner of the body in this world...... Loved ones, friends, and more.
In any case, his arrival is indeed to occupy the identity of others, and he will continue to live in this identity from now on, these are to be faced after all.
Even for the sake of peace of mind, it is impossible for him to completely break off from the past of the original owner of the body.
What's more, he didn't really feel so disgusted with these, he was an orphan in his previous life, and he chose to be a soldier soon after he came out of the orphanage, until he retired and opened his own office.
Relatives are a novel experience for him.
*********
Richmond, Virginia.
Ding dong!
The doorbell rings.
"Clarice, go open the door and see who's coming."
"Okay, Mom—"
Knock knock knock...... With the sound of trotting footsteps, the door was opened from the inside, but only a slit as wide as a palm opened, and the anti-theft chain inside did not open.
At this moment, an Asian girl who looked a little eccentric appeared on the other side of the door.
When she saw the person coming outside the crack in the door, she was stunned!
"Aren't you going to let me in, little Kerry?" The mixed-race man outside the door laughed softly.
Needless to say, the mixed-race man who rang the doorbell was naturally Raymond.
After the opening of the academy is completed, there is nothing that needs him to come forward for the time being, anyway, Leonid will help him with the arrangement of the course and the registration matter.
He himself killed him directly after 'recalling' the family background of the original owner of the body.
Through those memories, he can learn that the father of the original owner of the body is named Fang Mo, whose English name is Edward, is a local police detective, and the only Chinese detective in Richmond.
His mother, Roland Eden, was a white Richmond resident and a prosecutor.
The combination of the two was not very popular with Raymond's grandfather's family at the beginning, because Fang Mo was just an ordinary little policeman at that time, while Roland was a top student who graduated from the law department of an Ivy League school, no matter how you look at it, Roland's development prospects are far above Fang Mo.
Although parents in North America generally don't like to interfere too much in their children's marriages, it doesn't mean that they really don't care about anything at all.
At least there will be a big difference in subjective attitudes.
In Raymond's grandfather's opinion, his daughter should have a better choice, and she must have been deceived by Fang Mo's clever words, so she decided to marry a little policeman who had no future.
In addition, Fang Mo's personality itself is also very stubborn, and he resolutely refuses to bow his head, so in the first few years of their marriage, the relationship with Raymond's grandfather's family was very stiff.
It wasn't until Raymond was born that the relationship between the two sides finally eased.
It is worth mentioning that Raymond is not surnamed Lei, this is just his English name, his Chinese name is actually Fang Mingxuan, and the name on the household registration is Raymond Fang.
As for the Asian girl who opened the door to him right now, it was his sister Clarice.
However, Clarice was not born to the Fangmers, but was an orphan they adopted after Raymond went to college.
With the occupation of the Yifang Mo couple, it is naturally not difficult to adopt a child.
"Clarice? Who is coming, why is there no movement? ”
Just when Clarice was stunned because she saw that the person outside the door was Raymond, Roland, who was preparing dinner inside, thought something was wrong and hurriedly ran to the door.
Clarice also came back to her senses at this time, and looked at Roland excitedly:
"It's my brother who is back!"
"Brother?" Roland paused for a moment.
Obviously, she didn't react to who Clarice was referring to as her brother.
Seeing that Roland hadn't reacted yet, Clarice quickly closed the door, unchained it, and then opened the door again so that Roland could see Raymond outside the door.
In the same way, Raymond also saw the middle-aged woman in the hallway who looked very good.
"Mom—"
Unfamiliar words blurt out as if they were from a bodily instinct.
Smack!
Standing in the corridor, Roland, who was holding a wooden spatula in his hand, stayed there the moment he saw Raymond, motionless, and the spatula in his hand fell to the floor unconsciously.

PS: The first shift is here, and there are four more shifts today, so I'll continue.
