America: I'm really not crazy

Chapter 37 Li Wei regrets not having transmigrated to the world of magicians.

Li Wei?

Before Harvey could even process the name in his mind, Levi had already lost patience and walked towards him.

"Don't come any closer! I'll shoot!"

As it turns out, giving orders over the phone from the office is not the same as pulling the trigger.

It wasn't until Levi slowly walked up to Harvey that he pulled the trigger, his hand trembling slightly.

But at this distance, Li Wei is faster in both reaction and attack speed.

Before the trigger was fully drawn, Levi raised his hand and pressed the eject button on the Colt "Python," flicking his wrist to eject the magazine.

"If you really can't bring yourself to do it, I can offer you some encouragement."

As he spoke, Li Wei gripped the gun and twisted it, snatching it away.

To Harvey's astonishment, he raised his gun and emptied the bullets.

As the six bullets fell, Li Wei caught one with precision with his other hand and reloaded it into the cylinder.

"If you think suicide is a waste, how about we play a game of Russian roulette?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Wei turned the magazine.

With a flick of the wrist, the rapidly spinning magazine snapped back into place with a "click".

"You're obviously a newbie. I'll let you fire the first shot and enjoy the one-in-six chance."

After saying that, Levi placed the gun on the desk and pushed it along the table to Harvey.

Harvey stared blankly at Li Wei for a moment, then stiffly looked down at the gun in front of him.

Then, he quickly picked up the gun.

But not at his own head, but at Li Wei.

"Go to hell! You madman!"

"Click!"

"Click!"

"Click!"

Harvey roared and pulled the trigger, but after firing three shots, all he heard was the sound of mechanical impact.

Li Wei remained nonchalant about Harvey's "cheating" behavior.

"See, raise the gun, pull the trigger, it's that simple."

"However, you now owe me three shots."

"Based on statistics and probability, I think you've lost."

"Now, are you going to do it yourself, or should I 'help' you out?"

At that moment, Harvey felt as if even God was against him.

Then, he broke down.

Instead of continuing to fire at Li Wei, he asked a question with tears streaming down his face.

"Can I... possibly survive?"

Li Wei's answer was very casual.

"what ever."

But this did not bring Harvey any comfort.

Before a look of surprise could even appear on his face, he noticed a problem.

If he doesn't die, what else can he do?

He was broke, his mayoral term was coming to an end, and on the day he saw the list of candidates for governor, he knew all his preparations had been in vain.

He could never be a match for that "movie star".

Without the "packaging" of money and power, he's just a greasy, obese old man in his fifties with a bad temper and a penchant for beating people.

Yes, he can choose not to die, but can living without losing everything be called "living"?

Harvey questioned himself for a moment, and finally, trembling, turned the gun and pressed it against his head.

"Even if I die... I want to die as the 'Tyrant of Miami,' not as a homeless man rummaging through dumpsters!"

"Bang!"

This time, the gunshots rang out successfully.

"You're lucky. If this shot hadn't gone off, very few people would have had the courage to fire a second one."

Li Wei didn't rush to leave. Instead, he leaned against his desk and made a phone call to Tessa.

The call was answered instantly.

"How are you?"

This was Tessa's first sentence.

"It was alright, I guess I watched a good show."

This is Li Wei's answer.

This nonsensical answer, however, made Tessa breathe a sigh of relief.

"Okay, it seems you're not hurt."

Levi felt a little dissatisfied with Tessa's concern.

"Four bodyguards and a mistress are enough to injure me? They don't even have heavy weapons."

"Seriously, Tessa, with your imagination, you really should write novels. Maybe you'd even earn the title of 'Mother of Fantasy Stories'?"

Tessa's soft laughter came through the phone.

"Thank you for the compliment. Although I would like to become a mother as soon as possible, it won't be in the literary world."

"Then keep thinking about it. Sometimes, being able to deceive yourself is a kind of 'happiness'."

Li Wei couldn't help but turn around and glance at Harvey, whose imagination was certainly running wild.

Because in his eyes, this is a typical example of not even being able to "deceive oneself".

At this moment, Tessa spoke again.

"To declare victory now is not confidence, but arrogance."

"You used to be a soldier, you should understand one thing—battle reports can lie, but the front lines can't."

Tessa's heart was filled with disdain.

joke!

Having traveled back and forth through sixty years of life, his "fortress" remained as solid as a rock, never breached for even a second!

It's a pity I didn't travel to a magical world, otherwise I could have directly become a "magician" in five years!

Li Wei confidently retorted to Tessa.

"Tessa, I admit you are an excellent general, but it is equally undeniable that you have the common flaw of young generals—underestimating your opponents."

Tessa smiled and stopped arguing.

"See you on the front lines then."

After saying that, Tessa hung up the phone.

Li Wei was taken aback.

The front line? What front line?

However, Li Wei was never one to make things difficult for himself.

Without giving it much thought, he simply returned the way he came.

Just like when he infiltrated, no one noticed.

Before climbing over the wall to leave, he even petted a couple of of the guard dogs.

Yes, Li Wei had already become familiar with several dogs during his previous infiltration.

Besides the fact that he came prepared with a tomahawk steak, the more important reason was that Harvey's guard dogs were just like their owner.

They look fierce, but in reality they are far less professional than real military and police dogs.

With a few steaks and some truly professional techniques, the dogs not only watched Li Wei climb over the wall without barking, but even wagged their tails to see him off.

Now, Li Wei thought these dogs were much cuter than Harvey.

At the very least, they can remember who gave them meat and wag their tails at him.

Harvey, that real "bastard," was only thinking about trampling everyone under his feet for power and money.

"So, sometimes dogs are more 'human-like' than people."

Li Wei, perched on the wall, sighed slightly, then waved goodbye to the dogs and left.

However, to his surprise, after he landed and had only taken a few steps, before he could even find a taxi, a burgundy Ferrari leisurely pulled up beside him and slowly followed his steps.

"Hey handsome, need a ride?"

The car window rolled down, and Tessa's bright smile came into Levi's view.

She even took the time to change her clothes.

A sharp suit skirt paired with simple yet exquisite diamond stud earrings.

Even the color scheme is the same as Li Wei's outfit.

They look like... matching outfits?

"Are you a high school student experiencing budding romance, who can't help but imagine 'he likes me' when you see your crush wearing the same school uniform as you?"

Li Wei didn't hold back in his criticism.

As it turned out, Tessa didn't care at all.

"If I were eighteen, what you said would be hurtful. But for a thirty-five-year-old woman, it's undoubtedly a compliment. It means that although my acne is gone, my youth is still here."

As he spoke, the Ferrari stopped and slowly raised its doors.

"Need a ride, young man? I have to warn you, it's rare to find a taxi passing by at this time of day."
