Chapter 43:
Officer Xia's expression shifted slightly at that moment.
She looked at Silver Wolf and Hu Tao and said softly: "Little sisters, may I see your IDs please?"
Hu Tao and Silver Wolf exchanged a glance and nodded.
In this world, police had a duty to protect citizens, so they were willing to cooperate as much as possible. It saved trouble for both sides.
"Here," Hu Tao and Silver Wolf said at the same time, pulling out their IDs from their pockets and handing them to Officer Xia.
The officer took them, looked, and surprise appeared on her face.
Hu Tao and Silver Wolf were both already adults.
"They're both adults. Stop making trouble," Officer Xia said, returning the IDs to Hu Tao and Silver Wolf before sternly reprimanding the two aunts.
The aunts knew they were in the wrong and didn't say another word! They turned and left without even an apology.
The surrounding crowd hissed and pointed at the backs of the two aunts.
Tang Yu, who had been holding back his anger the whole time, wasn't about to let them off so easily!
If they didn't apologize tonight, he wouldn't be able to sleep.
"You can't leave." "You can't leave." "You can't leave."
Three voices rang out simultaneously— Hu Tao and Silver Wolf had no intention of letting them go easily either.
To Silver Wolf and Hu Tao, people like these aunts were far too common in this world. Their cost of wrongdoing was usually very low. So they acted without any restraint. Victims often suffered greatly.
"Oh ho! What do you want to do?" The two aunts turned back, looking at Tang Yu's group with disdain.
Officer Xia furrowed her brows. She had originally planned to leave. But now she was temporarily stuck.
"You…" Officer Xia looked at Tang Yu's group and started to speak, but Tang Yu interrupted.
"Officer Xia, I know my limits."
With that, he looked at the two aunts with a wicked glint in his eyes. And he quickly walked toward them.
The surrounding crowd was instantly shocked! Everyone's eyes widened.
Officer Xia hurried after Tang Yu, afraid he might do something wrong.
"You… what do you want to do?" The two aunts saw Tang Yu suddenly change his demeanor and charge toward them. They pointed at him, trying to intimidate him with wide eyes while backing away and shouting.
"Young man, stop right there."
Tang Yu obediently stopped upon hearing this. He gave a devilish smile.
The moment for the two aunts to pay the price had finally arrived.
Debt Repayment skill activation condition met.
Seeing Tang Yu actually stop moving, the two aunts finally realized he was just trying to scare them.
Immediately, their confidence returned.
"Young man, what you're doing is very shameless… you…"
Facing the two aunts' saliva-flying curses, Tang Yu sneered inwardly.
This is what you brought on yourselves.
His gaze sharpened. He shouted at the two aunts: "You've been unreasonable and prejudiced against 2D. Now you should run around this street for three hours while shouting 'I was wrong' the whole time."
Tang Yu's sudden outburst made everyone think he had lost his temper.
But right at that moment, the two smug, fat aunts suddenly started jogging forward with trembling steps.
And while running, they kept shouting "I'm sorry!"
For a moment, the entire surrounding crowd fell deathly silent.
Everyone stared at the two aunts' wobbling fat backs, completely dumbfounded.
What the hell?
What's going on? They actually started running? And apologizing? Are they possessed?
In this eerie silence, Tang Yu took Hu Tao and Silver Wolf's hands and walked toward the restaurant ahead: "I'm so hungry! Let's eat!"
Whoa!
The scene instantly exploded.
What a god-tier twist!
No one expected the stubborn aunts' prejudice against 2D to end like this.
It was way too surreal.
Many people who had recorded the moment immediately uploaded the videos online.
"Hey! Old sis," one of the running aunts asked the other during a brief moment of breath: "What's happening to us? I don't want to run, and I don't want to apologize!"
"Me neither! Old sis, this kid is evil—does he have some magic water? I'm reporting him," the aunt said with a dark face, cursing.
"Hahaha! These aunts are hilarious!"
Laughter came from behind. The intense shame made the two aunts feel utterly humiliated! They wished they could run straight home and hide.
But unless they ran for three full hours, they naturally couldn't stop.
Inside the restaurant, Tang Yu's table was already full of food.
Tang Yu, Hu Tao, and Silver Wolf sat around the table, eating heartily.
"Tang Yu, how did you make those aunts so obedient?" Hu Tao asked with shining eyes, looking at Tang Yu.
When she came back today and saw Tang Yu cosplaying as the Geo Archon, Hu Tao had been stunned for a moment.
Because Tang Yu looked exactly like him. But when she sensed that Tang Yu's aura was far from the real Geo Archon, she knew the current "Geo Archon" was just Tang Yu.
So Hu Tao didn't have any special reaction to Tang Yu cosplaying as the Geo Archon— she simply treated him as Tang Yu.
Silver Wolf also found it strange. After eating a piece of meat, she stared at Tang Yu. Although she didn't ask, the curiosity in her eyes spoke for her.
"Hm…" Tang Yu hesitated for a moment, but decided to keep a little secret for himself. While eating meat, he laughed it off: "I don't know either. Maybe they suddenly had a change of heart?"
Hu Tao and Silver Wolf exchanged a glance. They naturally knew Tang Yu wasn't telling the truth.
But since Tang Yu didn't want to say, they naturally wouldn't press him too hard.
Having secrets wasn't a bad thing. After all, Hu Tao and Silver Wolf each had their own secrets too!
After eating their fill, the three headed back home.
By the time they arrived, it was already midnight.
"Tang Yu, can you stop cosplaying as the Geo Archon?" After showering, Tang Yu lay on the floor again. Hu Tao sat on the bed looking at him and said.
Hm?
Tang Yu was a little surprised. He turned his head and met Hu Tao's gaze. "What's wrong?"
"If I treat you as the Geo Archon, it feels weird. He's just my guest official—I have a very pure relationship with him," Hu Tao said shyly, blushing.
Tang Yu nodded, understanding.
Hu Tao's relationship with the Geo Archon was like that between an older brother and younger sister.
While his feelings toward Hu Tao… had a bit of that forbidden German sibling vibe.
It was perfectly normal for Hu Tao to feel awkward and uncomfortable.
Silver Wolf listened to their conversation. She propped herself up so she could see both Hu Tao and Tang Yu, then grinned: "I don't mind Tang Yu role-playing as the Geo Archon. Hehe, I quite like the Geo Archon."
Hu Tao: "..."
Tang Yu: "....."
