Chapter 10: The Power of Fools

Many people, upon witnessing such a violent scene, could not help but scream; some timid individuals even turned their faces away, unable to look. As for me, I was already in a daze, overwhelmed by an unprecedented panic that engulfed my body and mind. I was afraid, afraid that my foolish brother, whom I had traveled a great distance to find, would collapse, afraid that this sole pillar of support would crumble.

My brother hasn't noticed that I'm crying; he is just staring at Lei Zi, foolishly shouting: "From now on, you are not allowed to bully my brother, do you understand?"

From childhood to adulthood, my parents have been quite biased. However, my brother knows nothing; he only understands that I am his only younger brother and has always treated me well. Even when I let his girlfriend go, he was only momentarily angry with me. Now, seeing me cry so hard, he is flustered and awkwardly pats my head, telling me not to cry. But at that moment, Luan Yu's deep mocking voice suddenly came through: "Oh, so it's just a fool!"

However, those people were not intimidated by my brother's imposing presence, especially Lei Zi, whose expression was as if he were about to devour someone. He took two large strides forward, stood in front of my brother, and arrogantly shouted: "I bullied you, what can you, a fool, do about it?"

Leizi's kick directly knocked me and my brother apart as we were embracing. Fortunately, my brother is quite sturdy; he only took two steps back. As for me, I was pushed back and nearly fell to the ground, but my brother managed to support me in time

Rushing towards my brother, he immediately leaped up, swinging a brick down towards my brother's head with all his might, while roaring: "Die, you bastard!"

His words detonated like a bomb, instantly exploding around the lawn. The originally motionless crowd began to whisper and discuss among themselves. One of Luan Yu's sycophants even deliberately raised his voice and laughed, saying: "The lame man's brother and the book are fools, how amusing, hahahaha..."

My brother's entrance was quite domineering, but his actions and expressions revealed some clues to them. The touching scene of us brothers embracing and crying turned into a complete joke in the eyes of the four-eyed group. Even some of the onlookers couldn't help but laugh, while others showed expressions of sympathy. Only the class monitor silently clenched his fists, glaring angrily at those who mocked us.

However, just when everyone thought that the towering figure of 1.9 meters would crash to the ground, a miracle occurred. My brother, as if nothing had happened, suddenly turned around and fixed a fierce gaze on Lei Zi. At that moment, his eyes were so chilling that they sent shivers down one's spine, even causing the usually arrogant Lei Zi to break out in a cold sweat.

However, I could neither be startled nor smile. He is my brother, and I understand him; his mind is quite singular. Since childhood, he has possessed great strength, and once he engages in a fight, the opponent is bound to face dire consequences. My family has often worried about this. Later, after my grandmother's repeated persuasion, my brother finally agreed to stop fighting, and he truly followed through. Yet, what I could never have anticipated was that my kind grandmother would leave us so suddenly and without warning. Later, after my grandmother's repeated persuasion, my brother finally agreed to stop fighting, and he truly followed through. Yet, what I could never have anticipated was that my kind grandmother would leave us so suddenly and without warning.

In an instant, the mocking faces froze, the sympathetic expressions also became rigid, and astonishment appeared in everyone's eyes. It is important to note that Lei Zi is a formidable figure, known for his resilience. Everyone has witnessed his ability to endure; previously, countless kicks from the class leader had no effect on him. Yet, my brother's first punch left Lei Zi, this tough bull, in such a disheveled state. Who would not be shocked

The lonely and helpless Lei Zi was on the verge of suffocation, his dark face turning crimson from the strain. While everyone in the library merely stared blankly at the scene, I was the first to react. I quickly hobbled towards my brother, shouting hoarsely, "Brother, don't do anything reckless! Let him go!"

My brother strikes with incredible speed, without any unnecessary words, leaving no time for psychological preparation, completely catching you off guard. The sturdy Lei Zi was suddenly hit by such a punch, immediately staggering backward, nearly falling down.

The limp Lei Zi immediately slid down the tree trunk to the ground, covering his throat with both hands, coughing loudly, to the point where tears streamed down his face

At that moment, the one who had been overlooked and had suffered a great loss, Lei Zi, was now charging angrily towards my brother. While everyone was immersed in their own emotions, Lei Zi's large foot suddenly landed a heavy kick on my brother, accompanied by his furious roar: "Damn it, dare to mess with me!"

I did not even get to see her one last time, and before I could repay this elder who had cared for me since childhood, she completely vanished from my life. I am in pain, I regret, I feel distressed, and my tears once again surge forth like a river breaking its dam.

The once wildly arrogant Lei Zi was now like a dead dog, firmly pinned to the tree by my brother, unable to escape despite his desperate struggles against my brother's strong and powerful grip.

In that moment, I was stunned, and everyone in the room was also stunned, each person staring at my typical bumpkin-looking silly brother as if they had seen a ghost. However, my brother completely disregarded the gazes of others; he simply strode towards me with somewhat clumsy yet broad steps. As soon as he reached me, he revealed his signature silly smile and loudly said to me: "Xiao Tian"

Immediately, the entire venue was filled with continuous gasps of astonishment. Because wwwhetushucom.com reported that Lei Zi, who weighs over 160 kilograms, astonishingly flew out for more than ten meters like a small chick, ultimately landing on the ground. Everyone simply could not imagine what kind of arm strength this would require, and how this big fellow possessed such innate strength.

And Lei Zi, amidst the astonished exclamations of others, got up from the ground, looking disheveled. This originally impressive individual had now lost all face. His eyes were red with anger, and without a moment's hesitation, he picked up a brick from the ground and charged directly at my brother.

Suddenly, waves of laughter followed one after another

Having finished speaking, he immediately broke free from my grasp and rushed directly in front of Lei Zi, swiftly throwing a punch

The stunned audience, at this moment, finally regained their senses, as if awakening from a dream. The awakened individuals began to think, displaying various expressions on their faces—some showed surprise, some relief, and others anger.

Fortunately, my angry brother immediately woke up upon hearing my voice. He turned to look at me, paused for a moment, and then shouted at Lei Zi, "Don't bully my brother anymore!" and let him go.

Of course, no matter how foolish or strong my brother is, he cannot endure the relentless blows from the big black bull, Lei Zi. Just as Lei Zi was about to unleash his final desperate strike, my brother suddenly let out a furious roar. He swiftly extended his long arms, tightly grasped Lei Zi's shoulders, and with great force, threw him away.

Clearly, Lei Zi, who had just been punched, was now filled with rage. However, he was not a reckless hothead; he understood that my brother had some strength and could not be dealt with casually. Yet, he was also very concerned about his own pride and did not want to let those who wanted to help him intervene. He was determined to take on my brother by himself. He spat forcefully on the ground, clenched his fists tightly, and then charged at my brother with great intensity.

I couldn't help but shudder, and it was only then that I came to my senses. It turned out to be true; the tall figure before me was indeed my brother, the one who grew up with me in our distant hometown. He was the brother who, despite his clumsiness, had always treated me well. How could I have imagined that in such a strange big city, at the moment when I was being bullied and found myself in the most desperate and helpless situation, the person closest to me would appear before me?

As for Luan Yu and his group, upon seeing their comrade slumped on the ground, they all displayed immense anger, especially Luan Yu, whose authority was completely undermined, his face devoid of any dignity due to my brother's actions. Thus, disregarding everything, he waved his hand vigorously and roared into the sky: "Brothers, kill that fool!"

At this moment, I am like a child who has not yet grown up, disregarding everything, leaning against my brother's broad chest and crying freely, venting my emotions. Since the day I left home, I have borne too much alone, endured countless grievances and profound pain. All this restraint can only completely collapse in the instant I see my brother.

His series of actions was swift, coherent, and executed in one go. I barely had time to shout a warning to my brother when I heard a loud bang, as a brick accurately struck the top of his head, shattering into pieces

At this moment, my brother's expression was no longer the silly smile he had when he first saw me, nor was it the silly anxiety he showed while comforting me and patting my head. He was angry, very angry. He suddenly extended his thick index finger and shouted at Lei Zi and his group, "None of you are allowed to bully my brother!" He seemed to be more upset not about being kicked himself, but rather about me being bullied.

To be honest, at this moment, I have no other thoughts; I am just afraid, afraid that my brother might really cause a fatal incident

My brother suddenly turned his head, looking at me with a hint of sadness, and said: "Grandma has left me. When she was dying, she said, 'Xiao Tian, you are very pitiful. I am your brother, and I must take care of you. I cannot let you be bullied!'"

My brother was so furious that smoke seemed to be coming out of his nostrils. He lifted his foot and was about to charge at Leizi. Fearing that something might happen, I hurriedly grabbed my brother and advised him, "Brother, don't fight. Didn't you promise Grandma that you wouldn't get into fights?"

At this moment, not only the onlookers but even Luan Yu and his group stared at my brother as if he were a monster. Surprisingly, not a single person came forward to help Lei Zi. I couldn't tell if they were stunned or too frightened to approach my foolish brother

Tears blurred my eyes without my knowing when, and my throat felt as if it were blocked by something. A wave of sourness churned in my chest, so excited, so moved. The emotions that had been pent up for too long suddenly erupted completely. I threw myself into my brother's arms and cried out loud.

Although Lei Zi is robust, fierce, and strikes with such ferocity, his agility remains impressive, yet when faced with my brother, who is a tall and sturdy figure at 1.9 meters, he seems to be at a disadvantage. Despite Lei Zi's punches and kicks being solid and powerful, my brother is able to withstand them. If it weren't for my brother's lack of fighting experience, it is likely that Lei Zi would have been defeated in just a few exchanges. The current situation is that Lei Zi continues to attack while my brother endures.

My brother only stared at him for a moment, then squeezed out two words through his teeth: "Looking for death!" After saying this, he immediately extended his right hand and swiftly grabbed Leizi by the throat, pushing him backward. The terrified Leizi was thus held by my brother and rapidly retreated until he backed up against a large tree. Not only did my brother not let go, but he also pushed Leizi up against the tree.
