You Think Your Grandpa Was Any Good?

Grandpa Sun suddenly pulled out a pistol and slammed it on the coffee table, knocking a teacup away and startling Xia Yu.

Xia Yu looked down and saw that the guns were real and live ammunition, with the safety on.

"No, Grandpa Sun, it's one thing to carry a pistol, but to have it fully loaded and without even turning off the safety? Aren't you afraid it might go off accidentally?"

"Oh, I was playing with it in my hand while I was on the toilet, and I forgot to turn it off."

Grandpa Sun didn't seem to care, casually turned off the safety lock, took a sip of tea, and continued speaking.

"What are you afraid of, aliens? Let me tell you, kid, back when I first came to Chinatown, these foreign thugs were bullying people and came to collect protection money. Your grandpa and I, each with two kitchen knives, hacked our way from one end of the street to the other. Which gang in all of Manhattan dared to come to Chinatown to collect money?"

When heroes reminisce about their past glories, Grandpa Sun exudes an air of dominance.

"My grandfather? A kitchen knife?"

Xia Yu asked curiously, "According to the memories given by the system and the words of the people around me, my grandfather was a kind and respectable old man with white hair and a youthful Xia Yu. I can't imagine what he would look like holding two kitchen knives."

"Who else could it be but him? What do you think? He's a lecherous old man. He has the skills of a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, why doesn't he open a clinic instead of a health spa? Isn't it all for groping those foreign women's thighs? What kind of good person do you think he is?"

"Puff!"

Xia Yu almost spat his tea onto Grandpa Sun's face, but what could he say when an elder was joking with his grandfather? He could only nod awkwardly.

I never knew you and my grandfather had such Hero deeds back then!

"You're a good kid, good-looking too, but you're just too much like your grandfather. You're too fussy and hesitant in everything you do."

"Me? Too fussy and indecisive?"

Xia Yu pointed to himself. Today, he had killed four government Congressman in front of the whole world. Was he still being so hesitant?

"You're still not convinced?"

Grandpa Sun casually picked up the pistol, flicked the safety, and twirled it in his hand. Xia Yu watched in terror, afraid that Grandpa Sun might accidentally fire it and kill him.

"Tell me yourself, what did you mean by killing those bastard Congressmen in front of everyone today?"

"If it weren't for them, I would have had plenty of time to save the people in Chinatown. They shouldn't have died!"

Xia Yu asked curiously.

"Of course they deserve to die, they absolutely deserve to die! I wanted to shoot them all, but why did you have to find a reporter to livestream the killings?"

Grandpa Sun said calmly.

"That's not..."

"Isn't that trying to make an example of someone, to warn those with ulterior motives? Then you might as well just kill someone and openly admit it. Who wouldn't know it was you? You're being too deliberate. Are you scared? You're afraid that the people around you will get hurt because of you. Kid, you're a coward, aren't you?"

Grandpa Sun put down his pistol, took a sip of tea with a smile, and said...

Indeed, Xia Yu's seemingly crazy behavior today stemmed from his inner fear. He was afraid that the neighbors in Chinatown would be harmed because of him, and he was afraid that Natasha and Tony were destined to die.

He feared that because he had changed these things, some people who shouldn't have died would be harmed or even die because of him.

"Did I hit the nail on the head?"

Grandpa Sun smiled and poured tea for the two of them.

"If I were you, I'd storm the White House today, force the government to hand over the people, and kill them on the spot. You can reverse time and even drag a planet back with you, so what are you afraid of? What government, media, Congressmen, terrorists? You're the biggest man in the world, just show him. Why bother with this show? It's unnecessary."

"Just do it. If you scare them, no one will dare to do anything underhanded behind your back. Earthlings and aliens are the same."

"Even if you did something wrong, these people are so afraid of you that they'll naturally follow you around cleaning up your mess and beautifying your image. Even if they don't beautify it, so what? Those bastards deserve to die, just kill them. No matter how much the people protest, when aliens invade, they'll still be kneeling on the ground crying and begging you to save them, won't they?"

Seeing that Xia Yu was a little confused, Grandpa Sun spoke again.

"Young man, a real man stands tall and upright, wielding a three-foot-long sword. He kills those who deserve to die and saves those who deserve to be saved. He does as he pleases, righting his own way and settling scores as he pleases. Why should he care what others say?"

"That's what your grandfather told me when he was drunk when he was young. Don't be afraid of people threatening you. Even if you don't have the special ability to reverse time, who dares to threaten your family? If they kill you, you kill their whole family. Let's see who dares to threaten you then."

Grandpa Sun truly lived up to his reputation as a man who wielded two kitchen knives and slaughtered his way through the land in his youth. Regardless of whether he was exaggerating or not, his uninhibited and chivalrous spirit was something Xia Yu could never match.

Almost violently, they tore the cloth binding Xia Yu's body to shreds.

Regardless of whether what he said is entirely correct, some of what he said is absolutely right. Things have already come to this point, so why be so afraid and hesitant? Just protect what should be protected, and kill them one by one if they come.

These words not only relieved Xia Yu of a great burden, but also made him feel somewhat excited.

After receiving a lecture from Grandpa Sun, Xia Yu felt much better. Before leaving, he invited Grandpa Sun to move to AC City, but Grandpa Sun refused.

"It's alright. Even if aliens come, the gun I have isn't just for show. And if all else fails, you're still here, aren't you?"

Grandpa Sun reached out and made a wrist-twisting motion, then winked mischievously at Xia Yu, capturing the moment when Xia Yu was photographed by the reporter, the moment when time seemed to reverse.

"Go ahead, come over and have some tea with this old man when you have time."

Grandpa Sun waved his hand dismissively, then casually picked up the pistol and started playing with it. Xia Yu quickly placed a mental mark on him.

He was genuinely afraid that this lovable old man would play him to death.

Having mostly recovered his spirits, Xia Yu felt a little bad for Natasha today, having made her worry about him all day. After checking her location, he originally wanted to go over and surprise her.

Who knew that not only Natasha, but also Tony, Captain, and almost everyone in the Avengers were together, and not at the base.

They're all on Congress Hill, and the fact that they're there at this time is definitely because of the killing of Congressman Congress Hill.

Xia Yu knew perfectly well that governments around the world would take advantage of the current high public sentiment to put pressure on them and force them to sign some kind of regulated treaty.

"We avoided the Sokovia Accords, but who knew we'd end up like this? I wonder if there will be a Civil War this time."

Xia Yu muttered to himself as he tore open a portal and rushed over.
