Chapter 76 What's the difference between this and direct confrontation?
A battle broke out in front of the bookstore, but it ended quickly. With Broly not putting on an act and launching a real attack, the humans in this world were not much different from ants.
The reason for using ants instead of microorganisms is that real microorganisms are difficult for Broly to kill with just fists and feet; he would need to bombard them with energy blasts.
With a casual wave of his hand, he smashed the last guy who rushed in, weapon and all, into pieces, which were scattered on the street.
"Ugh~"
Behind them, from the bookstore, came the sound of Green's parents vomiting.
Fortunately, most of the surrounding shops had already been sold, so few people noticed what was happening and a larger disturbance was avoided.
"You're a demon, you're a demon."
His men were killed in seconds. Benburn was terrified and shouted this as he turned and ran away.
"Hey, how did you know?!"
Broly was somewhat surprised; whenever someone called him a monster before, he would always have a rebuttal in mind.
"Monster? No, I am a demon."
Unexpectedly, I encountered someone here who didn't mispronounce my name. However, not mispronouncing my name is not a reason to let someone who came looking for trouble go unpunished.
With a light leap, Broly appeared behind the fleeing slave trader and gave him a gentle kick from behind.
"Bang!"
Benburn was launched into the air as if he had been hit by a heavy truck at high speed, and then slammed into a hard wall.
Such a scene, where bright red paint is violently splattered onto a clean wall, is a rather artistic way of dying.
Only one person remained at the scene. The horrific scene unfolded so quickly that Travis was caught off guard and everything was about to end.
"Hey you over there, do you want to be killed however you want, and do you want to see how you die? Sure, I can grant your wish."
Broly walked toward Travis, asking as he approached, offering to give the dying man the chance to speak his last wishes.
Broly wouldn't mind helping out with anything that wasn't too difficult to fulfill, such as someone's request for a particular way of dying.
"You, you stay away..."
Travis pulled out his gun, but due to excessive fear, he couldn't hold the pistol steady and dropped a rather nice revolver to the ground.
As Broly drew closer, Travis didn't dare to pick it up. Of course, since someone had just used a gun, he knew that guns couldn't protect him.
"You can't kill me. My sister is the Marquis of Bosier's most beloved woman."
Travis retreated step by step until he was against the wall. In order to survive, he brought out his biggest backer.
Why?
Broly didn't understand who this man's sister was, or what it had to do with the fact that this man was going to be killed.
"If you hurt me, my sister will not let you get away with it. The Marquis loves my sister very much, and he will not let you get away with it either."
"So that means they'll cause trouble too, right?"
Broly asked.
"Good to know. Now let me go obediently, and I can pretend this never happened."
The monster stopped in front of him without attacking immediately, and Travis breathed a sigh of relief.
He immediately expressed his willingness to let the matter drop.
If this bookstore had known earlier that it had such a terrifying guy backing it, who would have dared to try to take advantage of it?
"Can you tell me what your sister's name is?"
"Tevina, what's wrong? Do you think I'm lying to you?"
"No, I'm willing to believe you. Also, thank you."
Broly sincerely thanked the man, and the next second he raised his hand and nudged the man's chin.
Travis's eyes widened, his neck twisted into a pretzel, and he collapsed to the ground.
He probably didn't expect the boy to actually hit him, and his face was full of astonishment.
"However, this is only your side of the story. Next, I will personally ask your sister and that marquis what they think."
After saying that, Broly dragged the person over, and the children at the bookstore entrance, seeing that the fight was over, also began to help clean up the scene.
"Brother, you should have used less force. You've already torn these people to pieces."
Losang complained a little as he picked up a broom and swept the wall.
"Sorry, I got a little angry after I found out that someone else was going to cause trouble for Green, so I used a bit too much force."
Broly felt a little embarrassed as he watched his friends struggling to clean up the battlefield.
"It's okay, just be more careful next time."
A group of children quickly piled the corpses together, and as Broly unleashed his energy blast, the fresh chunks of flesh were instantly reduced to ashes.
"There's still quite a bit of blood here, Green. Do you have any buckets in your bookstore?"
"Yes, and there's a well in the backyard. I'll fetch water now to wash the floor."
"Let us help too. We need to make sure it's clean, otherwise, it won't be good if the sheriff finds out."
Green's parents had stopped vomiting. Seeing that their son and another group of children looked normal and started cleaning the street outside the bookstore, the adults exchanged glances and quickly joined in.
"The problem is solved, can we set off today?"
When Melard approached Broly, she asked, not showing much surprise at the brutality of the boy's killing of others.
After all, Broly could easily dismantle the ring during the martial arts tournament, so taking down a few clueless troublemakers would be a piece of cake.
"We can't leave yet. The last guy who died said he has an older sister who will also cause trouble for the Green Family Bookstore, so I'm going to go and ask her about it."
"We were too far away to hear what he said to you, so what's that guy's background?"
Merad asked, and Esdeath leaned over to listen, feeling that the task of taking action later could actually be left to her.
"It seems that there is a marquis behind that person, and her sister is the marquis's most beloved woman."
Broly told the truth.
"Wait, the marquis you mentioned, could it be the city lord of this city, Marquis Bosier?"
Melard pressed for details.
"Yes, that's the Marquis."
Broly nodded.
Melard: "..."
"So, you're planning to take out the master of this city next?"
Esdeath seemed eager to try, as this sounded like a situation where a fierce battle was about to take place.
"How could that be? That person might be lying to me. I just wanted to go to the sister he mentioned and that marquis to ask about the situation."
"Where should I ask? The city lord's mansion? And what am I going to ask? Should I ask if they'll stop bothering me if I tell them I killed their brother or brother-in-law?"
Merad found it utterly absurd. Killing someone and then asking if they're looking for trouble—what's the difference between that and just attacking them head-on?
However, the boy in front of him actually nodded seriously.
"Mellad, that's a good question. That's exactly what I was going to ask."
