No Such Unfilial Son of Yours!

Around the 19th century, a cruel gambling game became popular in Northern Russia:

Russian roulette.

Unlike other forms of gambling that use playing cards or dice, Russian roulette involves a revolver and human lives, making it incredibly thrilling.

Many accidents have occurred during the spread of this game. Despite numerous deaths from gunfire, this thrilling and dangerous game has become increasingly popular in Russia.

It can only be said that there is a crazy tendency to court death in human nature.

This tendency seems to be especially pronounced among the Russians!

But the proper way to play is to "retreat five and keep one" from the six bullet slots, okay? What do you mean by "retreat one and keep five"? Just say you want me dead!

Why bother making fun of me!

Henderson felt like he was going crazy.

But his father, Colonel Mende, remained calm and said to Henderson, "You must not be cowardly."

That weathered yet charming face really exudes sophistication.

Li Yao rolled his eyes and then let go, the revolver immediately turning around and hanging on Li Yao's finger. "Then do it yourself."

Henderson: "..."

So, I'm going to be "forced to commit suicide"?

Meeting Mende's calm, almost deathly gaze, Henderson seemed to gain encouragement and courage. He grabbed the revolver from Li Yao's hand and pointed it at his temple. "I am never a coward!"

"Click!"

Henderson gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and pulled the trigger; the hammer responded instantly!

The crisp firing sound startled Henderson, making him jump! But after a moment, he realized—he was actually unharmed?! That shot had missed! He'd actually hit the only empty magazine! Henderson: "..."

Li Yao: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Henderson held the gun in his hand, feeling as if a million curses were roaring merrily in his mind.

But soon, a murderous intent began to spread in his heart!

There are still five bullets in the gun.

And the gun in his hand is imbued with spiritual power! Even in a certain death situation, he can take a few people down with him!

He suddenly remembered what his father had told him: You must not be cowardly!

Immediately,

Henderson raised his gun and pointed it at Li Yao: "Let us go."

Li Yao was in a real bind right now. Partly because his face was so dark, and partly because the other side was so clueless. He spread his hands. "Where do you think you're going? And... how can you be so confident that those pistols can hurt me? Come on, shoot! Whoever chickens out is a coward!"

Henderson's hands were shaking...

Mende shook his head. "Henderson."

The calm words were like a needle, instantly piercing Henderson's courage. He slumped, his arm hanging limply. Mende looked at Li Yao, about to say something, when he heard Li Yao say righteously, "Shut up! I don't have a son like you!"

Mende: "..."

Li Yao snatched the revolver from Henderson and pulled out a coin, saying, "Let's play a new game."

Henderson is really going crazy.

What's wrong with you just giving me a quick death? And also...

Why the hell are you always picking on me?!

Li Yao tossed the coin into the air and slapped his left hand with his right. "Come on!"

Henderson: "..."

Is this a head or tails guessing game?

I won with a 1/6 chance just now, so I'm inexplicably confident with a 1/2 chance this time.

He was about to speak when he heard the extremely nasty man shout, "Guess what year this coin is from!"

Henderson: "???"

You're fucking kidding me!

Li Yao pulled the gun out from under his arm. "Can't guess?"

Henderson: "..."

How the hell am I supposed to guess? He was about to open his mouth to defend himself when Li Yao didn't give him a chance and fired.

"Bang!"

The psionic bullet pierced Henderson's forehead. Henderson frustrated and annoyed expression froze on his face. Brain matter, propelled by the powerful kinetic energy, exploded from the back of his head, accompanied by blood. He opened his mouth. "..."

However, he couldn't make a sound and just fell straight down.

And his father Colonel Mende...

He didn't even blink the moment the gunshot rang out.

Li Yao, still holding his gun at the ready, sized up Mende and clicked his tongue in amazement, saying, "You two seem to be on good terms, right? He looks a lot like you. Is he a relative or your son? I wouldn't believe it if you said he was your son."

Mende nodded. "He's my son."

Li Yao: "Biological son?"

Mende even chuckled, "By blood."

Li Yao: "..."

He fell silent. He could still get some pleasure from revenge from Henderson, but the guy in front of him seemed to care about nothing.

The rooftop fell silent for a moment, until Mende broke the silence. "Want me to guess with a coin? I know it's from 2004, I just saw it. So I suggest we stop messing around and just shoot me."

Li Yao tossed the gun to Alphonso: "You're making me very unhappy."

But it must be said,

This man is really charming.

His weathered yet handsome face, composed demeanor, and fearless courage gave him an irresistible charm, so Li Yao said with a troubled expression, "What do you think I should do with you?"

Before Mende could speak,

Li Yao punched his palm. "You must also have things you don't want to face! Coincidentally, I happen to have the ability to uncover people's inner fears and all sorts of things they don't want to face!"

Mende's face immediately darkened! He snapped, "Enough!"

He was born into nobility and held a high position for decades! He could accept failure and bear the consequences of his failure, but he could not allow himself to be repeatedly humiliated by such a junior!

Li Yao laughed, "You're angry."

He clapped his hands, thoroughly delighted. "I thought you didn't have normal human emotions. That's great, great!"

A silver light flashed in Li Yao's eyes! Mende, who had been staring directly Mende Li Yao, suddenly became dazed. When he came to his senses, he frowned and asked, "What did you do to me?"

Li Yao did not answer his question, but turned to Ginawell and Alphonso and said, "Lock him up."

After finally finishing up here,

Li Yao looked at the chaotic city and let out a long sigh...

Although he hasn't been away from home for long, he's already starting to miss it.

Unfortunately, the tavern is empty now, and it's really sad to go back there.

but,

Some other things I had been thinking about can probably be put into practice now.

for example:

To establish an academy that teaches the application of magic!

certainly,

Directly imparting magical knowledge from the Main World wouldn't work, because that would require teaching the culture of the Main World from the basics, which would be too much work for Li Yao.

And if we were to actually do that...

How is he going to explain the origin of this knowledge to others?

Could it be that one of my best friends has traveled to another world and is helping him?

What a joke! My best friend and I will be in an awkward "neither here nor there" situation—some suspicious people will definitely suspect I'm a "traitor"!
