Volume 4: Compromise and Struggle Chapter 4: Barbarism

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It depends. Ed thought for a moment, and finally replied in a serious manner, "If the value of 'that thing' you say is not high enough, then there is no need to fight with me." ”

"Hey," the corners of Sunglasses' mouth twitched, "I'm sorry, but if we lose it, it's enough for all of us here to have our heads made into gourds that won't quell the anger on it." ”

"Woohoo."

Ed pouted exaggeratedly, indicating that he was frightened, frightened a lot, and so frightened that he wanted to take a 180-degree Thomas maneuver on the spot to release the fierce tension in his heart. Then he licked his lips and tilted his head at the one on the couch.

"Maybe you should ask him and wait until he wakes up." "He probably knows more than I do," he said. ”

"You're right." Sunglasses nodded, then slapped his thigh and stood up, "And you'd better be with him then." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What the? ”

"Stun him, Lauley." Sunglasses looked up and said casually to the big man behind Ed, "Carry him and Morne to the car together." ”

"Of course, boss."

A happy smile appeared on the face of the big silly man known as Lawley, who seemed to have been waiting for this order from Sunglasses for a long time. But as soon as he raised his hand, Ed reached out first.

"Hey, I don't think that's a good idea." He said, with the look of wonder that is characteristic of the normally calm people when they encounter something unthinkable, "I think we just had a good conversation, maybe we should learn from civilized people, less rude?" ”

"I know we just had a pretty good conversation." Sunglasses said, glancing down at Ed, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly as if it was indeed like that, "But that's how we do things." I know you probably don't like the way we do things...... So I didn't ask for your opinion. ”

Raising his head, Sunglasses raised his chin at Lawley, motioning for him to move, and then he turned back, beckoning to the dwarf Tauer on the other side as he walked, as if he wanted to say something else to him.

"Okay......"

Ed looked at the back of the sunglasses, half-open eyes, nodded silently, and reached out to push the glasses. Then his head suddenly tilted to the sideβ€”

A small wind whistled and fell from above, and Lawley held the pistol, and the action of hitting Ed's skull with the tip of the handle of the hard, which seemed to be designed to knock on the human skull, was dodged by Ed's eyes on the back of his head, and at the same time, his body quickly bounced off the chair, turned around and shook his hand, knocking the pistol out of Lawley's hand.

Laurie screamed and shrank back in pain, while Ed kicked the back of the chair he was sitting on, kicking the whole chair backwards and slamming it on Lauri's stomach. Lawley staggered back, the pounding of his abdomen causing him to sit unsteady on his feet.

The sunglasses in the back and Tauer turned their heads at the same time when they heard the movement. Ed heard Tauer curse in a low voice, but he didn't understand what he was swearing. The only thing he was sure of was that the guy finally pulled out the toy he had been trying to play with from behind his waist quickly and excitedly, and aimed it at his back.

"Die!"

"Wait a minute!"

The screaming of sunglasses didn't work. Tauer fired, and though his arm trembled a little, he was sure that he didn't miss at such a close distance. His thin, pale, distorted face was full of excitement, but the next second it turned to surprise and panic.

Ed dodged Taure's bullet. He spun back as quickly as a monkey, then bounced up with both legs at the same time, crossed the gap between them, and slammed his shoulder into Tauer's chest, knocking him backwards, and the pistol fell in the air and fell to the floor.

The sunglasses on the side looked at all this, and his face also changed. He looked at Ed, who was in a temporarily unfavorable posture next to him, took a step forward on one leg, and then swung a heavy fist into Ed's face with a round arm.

As soon as Ed turned his head, he received a hard blow. He withstood the blow of the sunglasses, bent forward, hugged the legs of the sunglasses with both hands and arms, and pushed him hard, knocking him to the ground. Sunglasses landed on the ground with their backs and kicked Ed on the chest with their legs together, forcing Ed backwards, and he got up quickly with a carp, and then jumped up and punched Ed again.

The sunglasses are a little better than Ed expected, but not enough. Ed easily dodged the ferocious blow of Sunglasses, flashed to the side, and then grabbed Sunglasses' torso, throwing him out like a sack, and slammed it on the ground at the other end of the living room.

And at that moment, a gust of wind flew along with a violent roar. As soon as Ed turned around, Lauri's massive body slammed into him, slamming him all the way back into the wall, squeezing him in the middle like a cheap slice of meat in the middle of a cheap sandwich. If Laurie had been a little stronger, Ed felt like he would have to buy a bottle of salad oil.

His abdomen tensed, he lifted his breath upward, and his hands pressed against Lauri's head, which had hit him, and he twisted his neck to make a "quack" sound. Then he quickly concentrated the strength of his legs, and his knee slammed up on Laborie's chest, while his right elbow also slammed down on Laborie's back, and then grabbed Labory by the hair with one hand, pulled him up, and punched Labory in the face.

Lawley took a step back, blood streaming from the corners of his mouth. However, his gaze remained fierce, and he swung a punch at Ed at close range.

Ed raised with one hand, blocked Labor's fist with his elbow, and slammed the muscles of Laborie's arm with his other fist, and kicked Labor's leg in the crook of his leg at the same time, causing him to turn sideways and instantly turn around and slam an elbow blow in the middle of Labory's face. Lawley staggered backwards, and Ed pursued him in two unhurried steps, rounding his arm and punching Lawley's face, knocking him to the ground.

Lauri, who was lying on the ground, was a little dizzy, and Ed was a little dazed when he didn't give back the quick attack, and the injury was faintly painful. However, after all, he is physically strong and full of physical strength, and with the support of instinct, he still wants to get up from the ground. But he had barely climbed halfway up, and had just raised his head, when he saw Ed's two legs standing in front of him.

"Take a break."

There was no special tone, as natural and unnutritious as a courier delivering newspapers door-to-door in the morning greeting his neighbors, and the next moment Ed raised his leg and kicked him in the face.

In the middle of the spin, Lawley felt as if his massive body had flown all the way to the broken second-hand satellite at the very edge of the Oort Cloud, looking at its twisted and deformed body of steel, and then crashing straight into the low-interest sticker of the Gaudy Girl above.

Looking at Lawley, who had finally stopped moving, Ed licked his lips and turned to look at the other end of the spacious living room. By this time, Sunglasses had stood up again, staring at him expressionlessly, while the short Taur on the side was sneakily trying to pick up the pistol on the ground.

Eddard, who noticed Tauer's small movements, lifted his glasses, and Ed, who noticed Tauer's small movements, cursed in a low voice. Because his voice was so quiet, Ed still didn't hear what he was scolding.

No matter how good his skills are, they are not as good as guns and cannons, and Ed has suffered a big loss in this regard, and his nerves are extremely sensitive. He stared coldly at his sunglasses, then suddenly turned and sprang towards Tauer. Sunglasses also moved at the same time, rushing straight towards Ed.

However, Ed is still a little closer to Tauer than he is to Sunglasses. He kicked the pistol that was about to touch the fingers in front of Tauer and flew it out with his sunglasses, causing Tauer to scream angrily, no longer pretending, and got up from the ground and hugged Ed's torso.

Ed's movement was restricted, and Sunglasses rushed at this time, and with the help of the accumulated force of inertia, he punched Ed in the side of the neck, knocking Ed sideways and falling to the ground.

Pain is secondary. The sunglasses were hit in the wrong place, and Ed felt that the constant chirping of his ears was severely affected. Still, the instinct carved into his muscles allowed him to roll to the side quickly before the next attack, dodging Tauer's stomping on his face, and getting up and punching Tauer in the chin from the bottom up.

The shorty's skinny body wasn't as tough as Labory's, and Eddard's punch nearly knocked him to the ceiling, volleyed backwards, and fell to the ground, hitting his head right into the corner of the couch.

The sofa shook, and the red-nosed brother who had been unconscious above shook his body, and his eyelashes trembled slightly with his closed eyes.

didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and Ed didn't even have time to rub his injured side of his neck, when he was grabbed by the sunglasses that rushed again, and his whole body was thrown uncontrollably against the wall.

With a "thud", Ed's flesh and the hard wall made a dull crashing sound. Sunglasses took advantage of the situation to pursue, stepped forward and pressed Ed's head, pushing and smashing against the wall. After smashing twice, Ed gritted his teeth and threw a punch in Sunglasses' face, the second punch was dodged by Sunglasses, and he hugged Ed and fell to the ground at close range, and the whole person rode on Ed and punched Ed to the side of his face, and all three punches in a row hit the same position, knocking Ed's left cheek with blood.

Ed stepped up and kicked Sunglasses in the back, kicked them away from him, got up and hugged Sunglasses, slammed them against the wall on the side, then threw them to the other side, punched Sunglasses in the face, grabbed Sunglasses' shoulders and slammed his knee into his abdomen, then grabbed him and threw him against the wall again.

The last hit of the sunglasses was a little dizzy, and only a little ferocious ruthlessness was still in the fist. He turned around and punched Eddard, who was easily dodged by Eddard and kicked him in the crook of the leg, half-on his knees. Ed immediately stretched out his arm from behind and locked Sunglasses' throat, letting Sunglasses struggle, and he didn't let go in the slightest.

Finally, Sunglasses' resistance weakened. Because of the lack of oxygen and detachment, he finally collapsed into Ed's arms. Ed casually threw him to the ground.

At that moment, he suddenly heard something. When he turned around, he found that the Hello Kitty who had been sleeping on the sofa had woken up at this time, and was rubbing her nose while looking at the mess in the room in a daze, bewildered, as if she didn't know what was going on.

Ed, who had just finished a high-intensity physical exercise, was dripping with sweat on his forehead, and looked at the lovely Katie with a slight gasp, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he grinned a slight arc.

"Good morning," he said, "or good morning?" ”
