Fine Traditions Passed Down from the Primordial Era
After listening to Sally's detailed explanation, Bell fell into deep thought.
After a long silence (about half a minute), Bell suddenly raised his head and slammed his hand on the table...
Okay, he forgot that he had accidentally crushed the table before.
"Cough cough!"
After missing his target, Bell relieved his embarrassment with a tactical cough, and then continued:
"I've made up my mind, let's go get them!"
As everyone knows, Bell is not a reckless man.
He had thought about it for half a minute beforehand!
The reason he decided to continue acting recklessly was that, through reflection, he realized that the conflict between his family and the United States underworld had reached an irreconcilable point.
Either they wipe out that gang of thugs, or at least they scare them and knock them down.
Alternatively, their family could withdraw from the United States market and, like in Japan, trade goods and materials solely through domestic channels.
There is no third possibility other than these two methods.
In fact, Bell didn't care at all whether he could conquer the United States market.
Galleon are something you only need enough to get by; having too many is actually not very useful.
Does this mean that when Voldemort resurrects next time, he can still kill his opponent by burying them in money?
Bell hadn't forgotten the night they surrounded Voldemort and the Death Eater; 20,000 Talisman were thrown down, but Voldemort didn't even break a skin.
And that was while Voldemort was weakened and had been ambushed.
There's no way around it; simply piling up low-level Talisman results in too much dispersed power, making it easy for a true expert to deal with.
To pose a threat to a wizard of Voldemort's caliber, one would need at least Advanced Talisman, or even a top-level Talisman. But Talisman of that caliber cannot be bought with money alone.
Don't you see, even the largest chain store in China, Treasure Pavilion, only has one top-tier Talisman in its Hulu Kou branch—"Thunderclap"?
As a result, it couldn't be sold due to its high price and low practicality. After accumulating dust for many years, it was somehow mistakenly placed in a box of low-level Talisman by Shopkeeper Wang. Then, Shanna set it off like fireworks, almost killing Shopkeeper Wang.
Therefore, having too many Galleon is really useless.
Not to mention, the Bell Family now owns a mine, a precious mineral deposit on an entire Mars.
Since successfully establishing himself in the universe, Bell has found it increasingly difficult to take these minor incidents on Earth seriously.
Of course, despite all that has been said, this does not mean that Bell will choose to back down.
As the saying goes, "A person lives for their reputation, just as a tree lives for its bark." You may not care about things like Galleon, but you can't afford to lose your reputation!
He already didn't have much left!
In order to avoid becoming a shameless person, Bell said that he must not back down when faced with provocations from the United States mafia and must fight back!
"But Young Master..."
Sally's eyes twitched wildly, and her usually expressionless face showed a rare emotional fluctuation.
So all that talk she was doing was for nothing?
At this moment, Sally was absolutely certain that although her Young Master did not look much like Lady Elena, there was no doubt that he was Lady Elena's biological son!
"No buts. The current situation is nothing more than a slow death. How could it possibly get any worse?"
Bell waved his hand, interrupting Sally's attempt to dissuade him.
Just kidding, that's so funny... cough cough This is such an important matter, of course he's given it careful consideration, there's absolutely no problem!
"Gege, Gege, can I let the Little Bear bite the bad guys?"
Seeing that her Gege had made a decision, Shanna immediately jumped out to express Gege 100% support for him.
"Shanna, we're not going there for fun this time... at least not for the main purpose."
Moreover, this is a rare opportunity for real-world practice, so we should try to do it ourselves and hone our practical skills.
Of course, if you really encounter danger, don't hesitate, just let the Little Bear bite him!
Bell offered his earnest advice.
The little girl hasn't realized the importance of the situation yet; she still thinks she's going to play with her Gege.
Of course, the reason why Shanna had such a misunderstanding was mainly due to Bell's fault.
In order to get his younger sister to come and help him with those tedious chores, Bell brought Shanna along under the guise of "playing together."
"Why!?"
Having never been involved in family affairs before, Shanna was surprised to learn that what her family did was actually so dangerous! There was even a crisis that required releasing Little Bear to resolve!
This is really... fantastic!
You see, ever since she watched the uncut version of her Gege's battle against Voldemort, Shanna has felt extremely regretful that she couldn't participate in that night's fight.
Now, after her family came to the United States to attend her aunt's wedding, Shanna, who thought she would have a peaceful summer vacation, was suddenly told by her Gege that she would be participating in a dangerous battle.
This made Shanna, who had been itching to try it for a long time, very excited.
"Gege, let's go fight the bad guys!"
The sudden "good news" made Shanna unable to sit still for a moment. She wished she could Side-Along Apparition directly to the enemy.
"Don't rush, we need to make some preparations first."
As he spoke, Bell took out his Personal Terminal and dialed that familiar number again.
"Young Master, what are your orders?"
Sebas, with a serious expression, appeared once again on the screen of Bell's Personal Terminal.
To be honest, Sebas had expected that his Young Master would send him this message.
The old butler, who had seen much of life's vicissitudes, knew something bad was bound to happen when he learned that the master of the house intended to send the Young Master to handle affairs in United States.
I wonder if the head of the Taoist has been overwhelmed by the recent hustle and bustle? How could he possibly believe that Young Master Bell would honestly solve the problem?
In the old butler's opinion, it would be better to let Lady Elena handle it rather than leave it to Young Master Bell. That way, the commotion might be less severe.
However, even though it was expected, the early timing of the communication still greatly surprised Sebas.
Originally, Sebas thought that no matter what, Young Master Bell would have to deal with his problems for a few days before calling for help.
But who would have thought that this is only the first day! And according to the time difference, it should still be morning in the United States, right?
In other words, the Young Master couldn't even last half a day before deciding to act recklessly.
Suddenly, Sebas had a premonition that the wizarding communities in United States were about to suffer a terrible fate.
Of course, as the head steward of the Menethil Family, Sebas would not sympathize with those wizarding groups in United States.
At most, we'll wait until they've died before helping them to be laid to rest.
