In a quiet corner of the manor, Winter Leaf was chatting with Shangguan Shuai about something.
“Stay away from Leaf!” Glasses Bro ran over from afar and dashed right in front of Winter Leaf.
“Glasses? What are you doing here?” Winter Leaf asked, looking at Glasses Bro’s appearance.
“Never mind that, Leaf. I’m telling you, don’t be fooled by this guy who seems gentle and handsome but is actually dark-hearted inside!” Glasses Bro said, pointing at Shangguan Shuai. “A man who looks ‘no good’ like this must have many women outside!”
“He’s my friend!!” Winter Leaf said, stomping hard on Glasses Bro’s foot.
“Leaf, is this your friend?” Shangguan Shuai wasn’t angry at Glasses Bro’s rash behavior. He kept his suave demeanor, looking at Glasses Bro. “What an interesting person.”
“He’s always like this, don’t be mad,” Winter Leaf said, shooting Glasses Bro a glare. “Shangguan Shuai is a childhood friend. Be polite when you speak, or I’ll deal with you!!”
“Fine, but I’ll never agree to this guy marrying you!” Glasses Bro said, pointing at Shangguan Shuai. Shangguan Shuai’s eyes visibly changed upon hearing this.
“Huh? Marry me?” Winter Leaf clearly didn’t process Glasses Bro’s words. “What are you talking about?”
“What? Didn’t he bring you here to propose?” Glasses Bro said to Winter Leaf. “Our department received accurate intel that he planned to propose today.”
“Propose to me?” Winter Leaf looked at Shangguan Shuai in surprise. “Is what he said true??”
“Yes.” Shangguan Shuai nodded, then took out an exquisite box. “I was planning to propose to you later, but this guy suddenly showed up.”
“He hasn’t proposed yet! That’s great,” Glasses Bro said with relief.
“Hehe…” Winter Leaf couldn’t help but laugh. “So you came all the way here just for this?”
“Well, actually, I mainly came to help rescue Winter Xueer…” Glasses Bro said. The next second, his foot was stomped on hard again. “Then why are you still here? Go help already.”
“But… I don’t want to lie to you,” Glasses Bro said. “My main purpose for coming here is still this matter.”
“Leaf,” Shangguan Shuai said. “It seems this person is your suitor.”
“What are you saying!” Winter Leaf’s face flushed red. “I haven’t known him for long…”
“In that case, will you entrust yourself to me?” Shangguan Shuai knelt on one knee, looking at Winter Leaf. He opened the box, revealing an expensive ring before her.
“Huh?” Winter Leaf was taken aback by Shangguan Shuai’s sudden action.
But Glasses Bro beside her reacted quickly. “Leaf would never marry you!”
As he spoke, Glasses Bro grabbed Winter Leaf and pulled her forcefully behind him.
“Huh?” Winter Leaf, still reeling from the first shock, felt a second jolt as Glasses Bro yanked her away.
“This isn’t what a gentleman should do,” Shangguan Shuai said. “Shouldn’t we wait for the girl’s own choice?”
“I’m no gentleman to begin with,” Glasses Bro said to Shangguan Shuai. “Even if I have to force it, I won’t let her agree to you.”
“Is that so?” Shangguan Shuai stood up. “It seems we can only resolve this the man’s way.”
“Just as I thought,” Glasses Bro said.
“Then let’s go this way,” Shangguan Shuai said, leading towards an open area. Glasses Bro followed.
“Huh?” Winter Leaf, suddenly left behind, stood frozen again.
“It seems we have to decide Leaf’s fate this way,” Shangguan Shuai said. An electric arc sparked on his palm.
“Agreed. The loser gives up on Leaf,” Glasses Bro said, taking out several pairs of glasses.
‘My lord, leave this to me this time,’ the voice of the Sorcerer Glasses echoed in Glasses Bro’s mind.
“Then let’s begin now,” Shangguan Shuai said.
“Begin.”
As soon as Glasses Bro finished speaking, Shangguan Shuai pulled out a coin. Powerful current surged onto it. A strong electromagnetic cannon shot towards Glasses Bro.
From the moment he flicked the coin, Glasses Bro instinctively sensed danger. The next instant, he activated his ability, swapping places with a pair of glasses he’d thrown earlier in another direction.
The powerful electromagnetic cannon pierced through those glasses.
“Holy crap…” Glasses Bro muttered from another spot, watching the attack. “You’re ripping off some Railgun Sister, you know that?”
“Oh? Who’s that?” Shangguan Shuai said, pulling a handful of coins from his pocket and tossing them into the air.
The next moment, a Gatling-style electromagnetic cannon sprayed fire towards Glasses Bro.
Glasses Bro teleported away as soon as he saw the coins. He still couldn’t understand why a wealthy, handsome scion from a major family carried so much pocket change! The amount fired in an instant could fund his life for a whole day…
“This Railgun Bro is way more brutal than Railgun Sister…” Glasses Bro thought, barely dodging two attacks. The few glasses he’d set nearby were almost all destroyed by Shangguan Shuai’s barrages.
During the next teleport, Glasses Bro had no way to dodge. As he grew anxious, the voice of the Sorcerer Glasses echoed in his ears again.
‘My king, please activate my power quickly. With my strength, we can still fight him.’
“No choice,” Glasses Bro said, stopping his evasive moves. Two silver-glowing Magic Arrays appeared on the lenses of his glasses.
“No more dodging?” Shangguan Shuai smiled, observing Glasses Bro. Massive currents then erupted from his hands, forming a giant electric dragon that flew forth.
The electric dragon flew straight at Glasses Bro.
Glasses Bro’s glasses shone with brilliant silver light. Two thick silver beams shot from his eyes towards Shangguan Shuai, colliding perfectly with the electric dragon.
The battle of ‘Glasses Death Ray’ vs ‘Thunder Dragon’ officially began at that moment.
However, just as their powers were about to clash, several huge ice walls appeared between them.
“Both of you, stop it!” Winter Leaf’s roar echoed.
Hearing the roar, both stopped and ran towards Winter Leaf.
Then, Winter Leaf kicked Glasses Bro hard in the stomach.
“Leaf! So you…” Shangguan Shuai said happily to Winter Leaf.
But before he could finish, Winter Leaf delivered a hard uppercut to his chin.
“What do you two think I am?” Winter Leaf said to the two on the ground. “This is someone else’s manor! Fighting here will cause big trouble, you know?”
“Sorry,” Shangguan Shuai said. “I was too impulsive.”
“I’m not your property!!” Winter Leaf said. “It’s like whoever finds me gets to keep me.”
“But Leaf…” Shangguan Shuai said. “Given this, you should at least make a choice.”
“I choose neither!” Winter Leaf said. “You two idiots!”
“Is that so?” Shangguan Shuai said somewhat dejectedly.
“I’m sorry, Shangguan Shuai,” Winter Leaf said seriously. “We’ve been together since childhood. To me, you’re more like family or a sister. I really can’t imagine us married. I hope our relationship stays as it is.”
“Is that so?” Shangguan Shuai smiled at Winter Leaf. “Alright, but if you change your mind, you can always come to me.”
After speaking, Shangguan Shuai walked towards the banquet hall. “Please excuse me for now.”
“Ah! He’s actually a good person,” Winter Leaf sighed. “Why did it have to turn out like this?”
“Sorry,” Glasses Bro stood up and said. “But…”
“Alright, are you satisfied this time?” Winter Leaf said.
Hearing this, Glasses Bro felt a surge of joy inside. “So what you said to Shangguan Shuai earlier was to reassure me?”
“Not at all!” Winter Leaf instantly became unhappy.
Glasses Bro then put on the Deceit Glasses. “So in the end, you’ve decided to choose me.”
“I’d never choose you!!” Winter Leaf said like a hissing cat. “I said I won’t choose either of you!!”
As she said this, the Deceit Glasses showed Glasses Bro the exact opposite.
“You’re lying after all,” Glasses Bro said.
“I’m not lying!” Winter Leaf said unhappily. “I’d never choose you!”
“Ah, that sentence is a lie too,” Glasses Bro said happily. “Glasses that see through lies are truly amazing.”
The next moment, he took a hard punch to the face. The Deceit Glasses broke and fell to the ground.
“I said, I won’t choose you,” Winter Leaf said softly, her face red. “But I can observe you for now.”
As she spoke, she looked at Glasses Bro, then veins popped on her forehead.
Because Glasses Bro wasn’t listening anymore. He knelt on the ground, sadly looking at the broken Deceit Glasses.
“Hold on…” Glasses Bro said to the Deceit Glasses.
‘My king, I can’t hold on… In the future, please remember: don’t dig too deep into a woman’s psychology…’
“I understand, Deceit Glasses, you must hold on…”
‘Finally… help me tell the glasses store…’ Before the Deceit Glasses could finish, a high heel crushed it completely…
