Chapter 636

Leon couldn’t help but fall silent for a moment as he watched William “betray” himself after accepting a bribe from the princess, only to turn around and sell out Veronica. He quickly shifted the topic:

“Let’s set this matter aside for now… Why did you erase Melanie’s finished homework?”

“Because she copied my answers.”

William replied without batting an eyelid:

“The person who copies homework will be penalized by Teacher Lisa with extra copying tasks. Knowing Melanie, come Monday, she’ll surely use her better grades than mine as an excuse to confuse the facts and insist that I copied her. Teacher Lisa is very kind; if she can’t figure out who copied whom, she won’t accuse anyone lightly. Most likely, both of us would end up standing as punishment. So, I’m just preparing my defense in advance to avoid being dragged into trouble tomorrow.”

“…”

What a guy… so that’s how it is. But wouldn’t it have worked just as well if you reported Anna? Although after reporting, the homework would still need to be erased… Hmm… Erasing it beforehand could save some trouble? So that was your plan?

Well, handling kids’ affairs isn’t really my forte. Let’s wait for Anna.

Speechlessly sitting on the chair, Leon watched as William erased all the repeated answers, confirming his own lack of ability to manage children. He silently watched Melanie get beaten, then discovered her homework had been erased, screamed and lunged at William to PK him, only to first be exposed for copying homework, then grabbed again by Anna…

To be honest, my role as the big brother is simply to eat teammates’ resources and suppress two nightmare kings. As for Anna, who suppresses these two world-ruining tyrants, she has much more to consider.

After a series of increasingly chaotic commotions, it was still Empress Anna who decisively suppressed one world-ruining tyrant, even forcing these two first-grade overlords of Naval Bridge Public School to finish all their homework before half past ten.

Even more terrifyingly, within fifteen minutes of finishing the homework, Empress Anna used her water purification secret art to forcibly cleanse the two tyrants in the small bathroom, threw them onto the bed of tyrants, covered them with the sealing blanket, and even took time to chant a lullaby to forcibly send the two tyrants to dreamland…

“Anna…”

Watching Anna tuck Melanie’s foot back under the blanket, carefully tucking in the edges, and taking meticulous care of the two little tyrants, Leon couldn’t help but feel moved. His eyes filled with admiration as he said: “These years have truly been hard on you…”

“?”

Not understanding why he suddenly said that, Anna blinked in confusion, then shook her head lightly:

“Not at all, what I do are trivial matters. Your work is genuinely tough.”

At this point, she hesitated slightly before softly saying: “Brother, if your work is too dangerous… perhaps…”

“Relax.”

Interrupting Anna, Leon chuckled and made excuses: “It was indeed a bit dangerous at first, but now I’ve become much stronger than before. Dangerous situations are rare now, and I’m always cautious. Once I encounter danger, I run immediately, never overexert myself. Now, some people even call me ‘Cowardly Leon,’ haha.

In short, although my work is a bit dangerous, I’ve always been careful, so you definitely don’t need to worry about my safety.”

“Hmm…”

Lowering her head and responding lightly, the still slim Anna didn’t continue this topic but instead smoothed out Leon’s shirt crumpled by Melanie and asked:

“Since you’re on vacation lately and tomorrow is the weekend, how about we take William and the others to the amusement park for a day? It’ll also be a good way to relax?”

“…”

Although, bringing these two world-ruining tyrants to the amusement park is less about relaxing and more about finding trouble…

But upon reflection, I’ve been busy with ‘work’ these last few months, neglecting the family situation. I even returned from Crocodile Kingdom on a business trip without bringing gifts. I should definitely take some time to properly spend time with my family. A trip to the amusement park isn’t bad.

“Alright!”

Nodding and agreeing with Anna’s suggestion, Leon smiled softly and whispered: “Little Elie is included too. These three kids haven’t been to the amusement park yet. I wonder how excited they’ll be when they hear tomorrow.”

Upon hearing Leon’s words, Anna smiled faintly, leaned forward slightly, and then gently pulled Leon out of the bedroom into the kitchen.

“Brother, go rest first.”

Smiling at the puzzled Leon, Anna tied the apron while explaining:

“The food at the amusement park is expensive, and according to Miss Hanna, the ingredients aren’t very clean either. Melanie’s stomach isn’t very good… Rather than eating there, it’d be better if we bring our own food for a picnic in the small garden, so I’ll prepare something.”

“Oh…”

Watching Anna skillfully bustling around the kitchen, quietly handling the ingredients, Leon fell silent for a moment before speaking again:

“By the way, Anna, you haven’t said what you want to buy.”

“Huh?”

Hearing Leon’s question, the slender girl cutting fish jelly couldn’t help but pause, then laughed lightly and waved her hand: “No need, I’m not a kid anymore, what gift do I need?”

“You do.”

Leon insisted: “You may not be a kid anymore, but you’re still my sister. Isn’t it normal for a brother to give his sister some small gifts?”

“Okay, okay.”

Seeing Leon’s persistence, Anna could only shake her head helplessly, thought for a moment, and suggested: “How about buying me a new apron? This one has been used for over two years and is quite old. Or a larger pot would also work. Now that there are three kids at home, their appetites are bigger than before, and the old pot isn’t enough. Or a new iron would be nice too. Many of the old clothes we brought are wrinkled…”

Silently listening to Anna list several items, Leon’s gaze softened even more.

So the things you want are still ‘household type’, none of which are for yourself…

“Buy, all of them!”

After noting down the items Anna wanted, Leon couldn’t help but guide her, looking at his somewhat ‘desireless’ sister:

“But these are all household items, Anna. Is there anything you personally want? For example… some silver jewelry or a slightly expensive new dress?”

“But I don’t need those things,”

The slim girl frowned and said: “Apart from taking care of them, I help Aunt Mary with chores occasionally. Small jewelry might easily get caught somewhere, and a new dress… Oh right, I could buy a new dress.”

At this point, Anna looked down at her old washed-out dress and the slightly stretched apron covering her chest, then blushed slightly and said: “Recently, I… um… my old dresses don’t fit me anymore. I should buy a better new dress… No, let’s directly buy an evening gown!”

Evening gown? Leon couldn’t help but hesitate slightly upon hearing this, then asked in confusion:

“Why buy an evening gown? Do you have any important occasions to attend?”

Upon hearing Leon’s question, Anna also looked surprised and asked back in confusion: “Of course there is. Isn’t next month your wedding?”

“…”

“Ah?!!!!”
