After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 776

Chapter 776: Family Dispute (Part 2)
“You dare!” Grandma yelled, “They’re our inlaws! They’re family!”

“I will not marry scum!” She said. “And how did they survive so intact under Fargo’s reign? Knowing how they are still alive and complete, I can only imagine what they sacrificed!”

Winona was quite accurate about this. This family survived by pandering to Fargo. They were basically spies and tattletales among the masses. The number of people who ‘went missing’ after information from them was easily a few dozen.

Some of them didn’t even do anything wrong. They just annoyed one of the members of the family, and were framed enough to lose their lives.

However, they were sly enough not to be open about it, and they were lucky those who knew had perished in the war, so their entire family was safe from the purging Althea did in Fargo back then.

Winona didn’t know this but she wouldn’t be surprised if she found out. Whatever the case was, she definitely couldn’t sleep under the same roof as them!

At this, a few more people—a good-looking group reeking of bad morals—appeared next to grandma. Right next to her was the so-called fiance, Eric.

“Stop being so harsh, wife,” he said, gritting Winona’s—and Ansel’s—nerves. “We’re family. Nothing matters, as long as we’re together.”

He had the audacity to step forward in an attempt to hold her arm. She raised her feet and kicked him in the shin.

“OOUGH!!” He yelled and the others reacted, surrounding him in comfort and glaring at her.

“What are you doing?!”

“How dare you!” The mother even screeched like a shrew, gesturing to take revenge.

But Winona had some self-defense skills—much better than these damned nouveau riche asses—and she threw him to the back.

“OOUGH!”

Then another one—a cousin—gestured to get to her, and Ansel was prepared to intervene when the man raised his hand and disappeared.

“What?! Where’s my nephew!?”

“Prison.”

“WHAT?”

Winona chuckled, though inside she was still boiling from anger.

“Didn’t you know? Certain people are exempted from the rules,” She said, “I can defend myself very well. I can even beat you up without repercussions, but the same will not be said to you.”

This was true. Like the guards could hurt people in self-defense, the Elders and her friends and family could do the same.

As for why the woman didn’t get into prison after trying to attack her, it was likely the force value was so small she was tagged as a non-threat.

“Abuse! ABUSE!!” They yelled though the farm villas were far apart and no one even heard their pleas. Even if they did, no one would care.

Winona sneered and turned back, leaving them behind.

“COME BACK HERE!” Grandma yelled, “GET HIM OUT OF PRISON!”

“Go bail him out yourself!” She yelled, “I’m outta here!”

Winona angrily stomped to the gate and was surprised to see Ansel there.

“You…” Winona mumbled with a weak voice, and her sudden softening was a stark contrast to the Godzilla she was 2 seconds ago.

It softened Ansel’s heart and he approached her. He stopped a meter away though, while Winona looked at him guardedly.

Behind her, Eric gritted his teeth and stood up, forcing himself to follow her. He was especially angry when he saw the famed redhead in the vicinity.

“You! I heard about you two!” He yelled.

Winona pursed her lips and glared back, holding Ansel’s arm. Ansel vaguely felt it was the woman asking for support, in more ways than one.

“As you can see, I have a lover now. So scram!!” she said, hugging it tightly. Ansel, who was quiet beside her, smiled.

She looked at her grandmother. “Didn’t you know? I’m with an elder! Kick them out of the house or he’s going to be angry!”

Eric and his family gritted their teeth, glaring at her. However, Donna, Eric’s mother, sneered at her instead.

“Liar! Who doesn’t know he’s a fake!” she said, looking panderingly at Winona’s grandmother. “They’re not really lovers. I’ve heard the two of them deny it plenty of times.”

Winona and Ansel froze at this, looking awkwardly at each other. Ansel cleared his throat and looked at the family who was so sure of themselves.

Seeing that bastard’s smug face looking at his woman with possessiveness and a woman to be taken for granted—Ansel felt very annoyed.

His playboy charm tuned up and he lessened the distance between him and Winona. “We’ll get rid of him if I kiss you,” he said, tone smooth with temptation. “Ask me to kiss you.”

Winona’s eyes twitched, not forgetting about the bet. If she did, wouldn’t that mean that she lost to him?!

“Well?” he asked. “I’ll share my winnings with you.”

The blonde clenched her fist as she pushed down her blush.

“It’s up to you,” he said, and she kinda wanted to smack his smug face. But then she saw Eric’s even more annoying face and she stopped herself from rejecting the offer.

Winona’s eyes darkened when she met his seductive ones. “Kiss me,” she said and he smirked, leaning down to meet her lips.

“I won,” he whispered against her lips, before pressing them together, reliving that electric current that passed through their bodies.

Eric and his entire family gasped at the sight. Eric immediately lunged forward, rushing to pull them apart.

“HEY! GET AWAY FROM HER!” he yelled. However, a meter or so away from them, he fell down face first.

“AHH!” he yelled, looking down at his leg and realizing it was burning.

“AHHHHH!!” he screamed and the family rushed to help him.

While the chaos was happening a few meters away, the two were immersed in their own world.

Like their first kiss together, this one was no less electric. Immediately he pulled her closer (with his ‘free’ hand, i.e. the one without a cast) and felt her softness against him.

The two gasped at the chemistry and almost forgot there were other people, and she wrapped her arms around him as their kisses turned deeper.

“HEY!” Eric yelled, “STOP IT!” he yelled, and stood up as soon as the fire was killed. However, he was ignored by the two people lapping each other’s faces.

Humiliated, he lunged towards the couple whose lips— for better or for worse—couldn’t be parted at all for quite a bit.

Another light surrounded him and he disappeared, making the remaining relatives gasp in shock!

“ERIC!!!”

“SON!!”

“WHERE DID YOU SEND HIM!? YOU BASTARDS!!”

Anyway, it was all very shrewish. And since they were terrified of approaching them, lest they get sent to prison too, they could only yell to get the couple’s attention.

At the screeching noise, Ansel reluctantly parted with her, though not without dipping in for a second and giving a chaste kiss. Winona’s face was red and still absorbing what just happened.

“You should hurry up and bail those two people,” he said, eyes dark, his arms tightening around the woman in his arms. “The prison here… takes away people’s lifespans, you know. He has such an embarrassingly low level, so his life is already very low.”

“You better run and bail him out,” he said, slowly leaning to head back to the woman’s lips. “Or else you might not see him alive again.”

And then he went in to capture the woman’s lips once again, completely ignoring their audience.
