A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

"Have you not considered divorce?" After a moment of silence, Levi tried to speak.

"I... don't know." Louise shook her head, "I occasionally think about it, but I'm afraid that divorcing my husband will cause criticism, and I always feel a little ashamed of Fury."

"Why?" Levi asked.

"He used to love me very much. He used to sacrifice a lot for his family. I feel that he is also struggling. If I abandon him like this... I would be so sorry for him." Louise said with red eyes.

She is a conservative woman who believes in Catholicism, and divorce is not an easy thing for her.

Charlie was standing aside, listening to the conversation between the two.

Levi clenched his fist, then unclenched it. He thought for a long time, and finally said:

"Sorry, I can't keep Charlie with me forever."

"But I can send him to a boarding school where he will learn to take care of himself. You can consider this proposal."

Levi said, looking at Charlie, who nodded and said to Louise:

"Don't worry, Mom."

Levi continued: "Also, I'm sorry about his father. But you have to know that when he becomes an addict and starts to only take, you are no longer family."

"If you need my help, you can go to the address above..."

Levi took out his pen and was about to write down the address of Hildy Hotel, but then he suddenly heard footsteps.

He couldn't help but frown, feeling alert.

The footsteps were heavy and hurried. They belonged to a man, and the hurried steps were probably related to "money".

After hearing the footsteps, Louise stood up uneasily and said: "Why is it so fast today... He usually doesn't come back until evening..."

"Ah, sir, please leave quickly. If you let him see you, he will definitely beat you!"

"Will he hit you too?" Levi asked.

Louise remained silent, but the result was already obvious.

At this time, the iron door was pushed open with a "clang", and a man with messy hair walked in. His left sleeve was drooped, and there were ringworm spots on his body due to long-term heroin use.

"Fuck, how did that guy win so much today..." The man cursed and lowered his head to change his slippers.

At this time, his eyes swept upward and saw Levi.

His face turned black instantly, as black as gunpowder.

Levi smelled the aroma of drugs and the drunkenness of alcohol on him.

"Louise, who is this person?" he asked in a deep voice.

"This gentleman is the benefactor of our family. He wants to help Charlie go to school..." Louise said softly, but with a tremor in her voice, "Fury, dear, I beg you, don't be angry, okay? ?”

The man was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and then burst into laughter.

"Sure enough, sure enough, I knew...this is the lover you found behind my back again, right?"

"No, how is that possible, Fury..." Louise tried to explain in a panic.

"Then why are you panicking! Haha, how could someone be so kind and want to help a beast's son go to school? Tell me, how many times have you opened your legs to him!" The man yelled. Louise wanted to say something, but he Then he spoke again.

"You guys want to get rid of me, right? Because I'm a person who lost an arm and only smokes powder and gambles all day long?" The man sneered, "You are so thoughtful, Louise, look for He has such a rich pretty face, even Charlie wants to take him away... Haha, he is still a Seris, that's right, only a yellow guy can fall in love with an old and capable woman like you!"

The man took off his belt and moved closer to Louise.

Charlie wanted to do something, but was stopped by Levi.

"I used to... I used to work hard. If it weren't for me, you would have died in childbirth! This is how you repay me!"

The man had an angry look on his face, raised his belt, and was about to swipe it hard at Louise, but at this moment, Levi grabbed his wrist.

"I think it's time for you to calm down, Mr. Hank."

"You're protecting her? This is our family's business. It's not your turn to take care of this!" The man pulled his wrist hard, but Levi's arm didn't move at all.

"You can insult me, but you should show more respect to your family. They have never been sorry to you." Levi said.

"It's none of your business!"

The man angrily tried to break away from Levi, but he only had one arm, and Levi just pulled him back slightly, and then he fell to the ground.

The man's body was scratched by the rough ground and blood flowed out. He supported his body with his hands, while Levi protected Louise and Charlie behind him and took two steps back.

He sat up awkwardly, and he wanted to stand up, but perhaps due to the effects of alcohol and drugs, he failed to succeed for a while, and instead fell down awkwardly again.

The man's eyes looked over, looking at Louise and Charlie behind Levi. He was angry at first, then pain and sadness, deep pain and sadness.

"I obviously did nothing wrong...why..." He couldn't help curling up on the ground and crying.

"It's all your fault... It's all your fucking fault. Fuck this country! Fuck that doctor! Fuck your mother, why did you save me! Fuck your mother..."

Louise couldn't help it. She wanted to get closer to Fury, but he pushed him away roughly.

Levi stopped her and shook his head.

"Let's leave first and let him be alone for a while."

……

Levi felt bad too.

But he didn't know why.

After taking the carriage back to the city, he thought for a moment and gave Charlie another three francs and asked him to take Louise around.

Levi was not in the mood to do anything else for the time being. He walked and came to the familiar Lombard Street.

That street band is still here today, but the slogan behind them has been changed, a big white banner with the words "A World of Rebellion" written in black.

Levi threw a few Philippine dollars into their box and sat on the flower bed nearby.

The band plays a unique note to express their gratitude.

The climax is finally coming...
