The girl, carrying a bag of supplies, walked to the boy's side and whispered an explanation.
"The mass arrests of children like us are a way to exploit sympathy and use it as a tool to attack our adversaries."
The boy finally spoke, but his tone was somber and somewhat dejected.
He slowly opened his mouth and asked.
"Why didn't you tell me before?"
"Do you know that they'll force you to do it?"
The girl turned to look at the remorseful boy.
"At least this way, you can have at least one moment in your life when you think you have a choice."
After saying that, the girl picked up the supplies and walked away.
"Consider this a thank you for the drawing."
"Just... a moment?" The boy lowered his head even further.
……
"So, has no one ever tried to send the message to the people in the city?" Bai Xiaochun in the A Thought Through Eternity world.
"Maybe it happened, and then all those children were killed, and the one who survived was tormented by guilt for the rest of his life." — Angel Yan, Super God Academy World.
"Furthermore, this is war. Even if traps are set in advance, without the advantage of the city walls, with such military skills, they are still far inferior to pirates." - Angel Yan, Super God Academy World.
"Only... a moment? No! I must do everything in my power to seize this fleeting opportunity! I must use all my strength to break free from the shackles of fate!" - Bai Yuechu, Fox Spirit Matchmaker World.
Chapter 19 The First Generation Milon Makes His Debut!
"Grandpa Asio, all the money and food are here."
[A pirate pointed to the trunk of the iron carriage and said.]
"Hmm? Hehehehehehe!"
【"boom!"】
The tank's cannon suddenly fired a shell, shattering the city's buildings.
【"City……"】
The red-haired guard stared blankly at the scene, muttering in disbelief, "After guarding for so long, it's all been in vain."
"Leave no one here alive!"
With that, Asio raised his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Hehehehehehehehehehehe!!"
The surrounding pirates laughed mockingly; clearly, this wasn't the first time they'd done something like this.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
The boy immediately realized what was happening and ran to Asio.
"You said you wouldn't hurt anyone, you said no one would get hurt!"
[“Bang!”]
Seeing the boy running towards him, Ashio kicked him mercilessly, sending him flying.
【"boom!"】
The tank continues adjusting its cannon, destroying the city.
The boy fell to the ground, the pain making it difficult for him to get up, and his glasses fell to the ground in front of him.
Asio slowly walked up to the boy.
As the old man, Asio, said, "In this world, you're either trampled underfoot or you climb to the top by stepping on others!"
[Boom! Boom! Boom!]
The roar of cannons continued; for anything the pirates couldn't take, their only rule was to destroy it!
[Asceo slowly knelt down in front of the boy, picked up the glasses, and put them on the boy.]
"Open your eyes and look carefully! Be glad you weren't the one who got stepped on today!"
[Putting his glasses back on, the boy could clearly see the guards kneeling on the ground, their faces filled with resentment, yet utterly powerless to resist.]
"How could it have turned out like this?"
The boy's face was filled with guilt, self-blame, and remorse; he seemed to have fallen into an abyss. He carried the weight of sin within him. Could he ever again smile so freely as before?
"I'm so bad, I'm so sorry!"
[With that, the boy buried his head in his hands, too ashamed to look at anyone.]
The guards and residents alike bowed their heads and wept bitterly; their hard work had been utterly destroyed!
"Lift your head, we've done our best," Dr. Gu Lai said in a low voice.
【“Yes.”】
At that moment, a hand slowly rested on Dr. Gu Lai's shoulder.
"Oh?" Doctor Gu Lai was startled. Who could it be at a time like this?
【"boom!!"】
With a deafening roar, the tank exploded, bursting into flames!
"Wow!" Asio was startled by the sudden turn of events.
In an instant!
[Blazing flames swept across the entire arena, their light reflecting the fury on Ashio's face!]
"The most beautiful thing in the world is a human smile. What scenery can you see at the summit if you have to trample everyone else under your feet?"
A man dressed in a tight-fitting yellow and black fighting suit, with glasses and his hair tied back, walked to the center of the crowd. His stylish and exaggerated appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention, and a deep, resonant voice emanated from his mouth.
[“Who is it?!”]
[Asceo's face darkened. He turned to the uninvited guest and questioned him coldly.]
"Milon."
The man spoke calmly.
"Take care of him too!"
[Asceo drew his sword and gave orders to the other pirates.]
"Wait, is that Milon?"
The pirates didn't move; one of them even called out to Asio, asking in shock.
"Milon defeated the nine nearby Black Flag squads?"
Flames ripped through the sky like a sandstorm, and waves of heat rolled in. Milong stood shielding the crowd, the firelight illuminating his back, seemingly telling everyone that hope had not yet faded!
【"Milon..."】
The boy, lying on the ground, adjusted his glasses. The blazing flames reflected in his eyes. He slightly raised his head, gazing at the scene before him.
【"Clang!"】
[Milon slowly raised his nunchucks, and the clanging sound of the chains clashing together rang out suddenly.]
"You have two choices!"
With that, Milon threw his nunchucks, which spun gracefully in the air like a boomerang, knocking the weapons from the pirates' hands!
"Leave on your own, or lie here and wait for the Alliance to arrest you!"
The nunchucks flew around and returned to Mi Long's hands. Mi Long stretched out his arms and leveled the nunchucks.
[In the firelight, the chains of the nunchucks gleamed brilliantly!]
"That nunchuck, that's him! Grandpa Asio!"
A pirate staring at Milon felt a chill run down his spine, and cold sweat poured down his back.
【"Shut up!"】
[Asio roared and threw the knife in his hand onto the open ground in front of Milon.]
"Your smugness won't last long!"
After saying this, Asio led the pirates away slowly.
"They're gone."
[Bright flames, a ruined city, the guards watched the pirates disappear, feeling as if they were dreaming.]
"We're still alive?"
【Ah~ Hoo~】
[The doctor breathed a sigh of relief; the threat of death had ultimately been too intense.]
At this moment, Milon stood alone, watching the city gate where the pirates had left, standing like a giant.
He spoke in his deep, powerful voice.
"Live on with a smile behind me."
"Milon~" The guards murmured unconsciously as they watched Milon's retreating figure, a feeling of admiration welling up within them.
【"Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!"】
As the pirates departed, a deafening roar of cheers erupted throughout the city.
【"Long live!!"】
The joy of surviving the ordeal brought cheers from the crowd, their faces beaming with happiness.
……
"To be honest, Mi Long's appearance at this time is practically like a savior." - Anonymous, from the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes.
"As for the second-generation Milon, it was probably around this time that he developed his admiration for Milon." —Anonymous, from the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes.
"Milon the first generation didn't come without any merit, after all, if he hadn't appeared, the pirates probably would have massacred the city." - Huang Shaotian, The King's Avatar World.
"He has both merits and demerits, but they cannot offset each other. At least for now, Mi Long's purpose remains pure; he just wants to become famous and find his sister." —Yu Wenzhou, The King's Avatar World.
"Even if this action will trample on the happiness of many people." Ye Xiu, The King's Avatar.
"By the way, Mi Long's nunchaku skills are pretty good too, they look super cool!" Xia Ling, Soul Street World.
"He has some fighting skills, but he's not strong enough to fight against a true martial artist." - Baki Hanma, Retsu Kaioh.
"Milon's lines are a bit cringey, but I like them~" My senior brother has a hole in his brain, Dongfang Xianyun.
"For the second-generation Milon, this scene was like a blazing hope pulling him out of the deep sea in endless darkness." Genshin Impact world, Funnina.
"I also hope that in the future there will be someone like that, who will cheer for my...wonderful performance in front of everyone!" Genshin Impact world, Fryna.
"Goodness, you're praising yourself indirectly, aren't you?" - Zeng Xiaoxian from the Love Apartment world.
Chapter 20: The Life Left Behind, Paying the Price for the Past
"I'm so glad everyone is safe."
The boy walked out of the city gate, gazing at the cheering crowd behind him, a hint of longing flashing in his eyes.
The girl seemed to have sensed the boy's thoughts.
"You're not thinking of staying, are you?"
【"I……"】
The boy hesitated for a moment, then fell silent.
"You've worked for pirates, after all; those people will never forgive you."
The girl turned around and continued walking forward.
