The world begins with shameless people

Chicago, South Side.

After leaving the hospital, Karl got into Mickey's car, smiled, and said with emotion, "Ding Xiu and Bianca are so good. After so long, it seems that there is no change from the beginning."

Mickey was also a pure love warrior, and couldn't bear to hear such beautiful love, so he just responded, "Yeah."

Then, Mickey decisively changed the subject, "What do you want to eat?"

Carl is a very special Gallagher. He has no particular interest in food, money, wine or tasting.

Carl's greatest interest in life, by far, is violence.

"Whatever, you decide," Carl replied casually.

Then, because of his love for violence, Carl curiously asked about Mickey's progress.

The South District has been changing, and although its nature has not changed much, the Mickey of today is definitely not the same Mickey Milkovich.

Mickey has learned to mature, so when faced with this kind of question, he just downplays it and talks about it in a way that avoids the main point, without being able to control his mouth and talk nonsense.

However, even so, Karl still listened excitedly and smiled brightly, "I believe you can take over the entire South District soon!"

"When I graduate from the military academy and come back to become a police officer, we will work together to rule the South District!"

Look, Comrade Carl Gallagher’s ambitions are so great!
Mickey smiled when he heard it, and reached out to touch Carl's head, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

The two of them walked away, talking and laughing.

Interestingly……

Although there is a big age gap between them, Mickey, who has never had any friends, actually regards Carl as a friend.

The reverse is also true.

unconsciously.

Mickey took Carl out for a meal and the sun set.

"Shall I take you home?" Mickey asked.

"Okay," Carl agreed readily, without mentioning meeting Fiona at all.

After all, why meet? Fiona might nag at me... Besides, we can meet at home in the evening.

2120 North Wallace Street.

Carl got out of the car, picked up his luggage, said goodbye to Mickey, then looked at his beautiful house and smiled.

Carl has grown up.

Today, Carl has basically realized how good it is to have such a house.

soon.

Carl took the key from his pocket, opened the door and went into the house.

In the living room, Liam was sitting on the sofa playing games enthusiastically. He heard the noise but didn't pay attention.

“Liam,” Karl quite liked Liam, the little black guy, and greeted him with a smile.

Liam was surprised when he heard it, and quickly paused the game, turned his head towards Carl, and shouted excitedly, “Carl, you’re back!”

“Well, of course I have to come back for Christmas,” Carl said, sitting next to Liam, “What game is this? I’ll play with you.”

"Okay," Liam agreed simply.

Soon, the two brothers started playing games in a rather harmonious atmosphere after a lot of noise.

Meanwhile, Carl has opened his eyes and noticed the mess in the house...

But, how can I put it.

Growing up, the Gallagher house was always a mess, with all kinds of things scattered around, like a garbage dump. Carl was used to this scene and didn't find it strange.

At least, for now.

After about a quarter of an hour, the game was over.

Carl put down the game controller, slowly turned his head, and looked around again... one second, two seconds, three seconds...

The education provided by the military academy took effect slowly but surely.

Looking at this scene, Karl gradually felt unbearable, “Liam, who lives here now?”

Liam looked at Carl and answered honestly, "It's just me, Fiona, and Fiona's new boyfriend Sean. Ian lives with Debbie, and I don't know where Frank and Monica are."

"Then why is this place so messy? Was it you who made it?" Carl asked again, but there was no blame in his tone.

Liam shook his head decisively, "I only did a little bit, it was mostly done by Fiona and Sean."

Karl heard it, but he didn’t know whether to believe it or not. He was silent for a while and didn’t ask again, “Will you help me clean up?”

Liam is very clever, but not lazy. He usually doesn't play tricks on such small things. When he heard this, he nodded and agreed, "Okay."

Carl smiled.

The two brothers quickly cleaned up.

To be honest, the house, upstairs and downstairs, the bathroom and the kitchen, are all a mess...all kinds of things are everywhere, and there is almost nothing where it should be.

As Carl kept packing, he felt more and more puzzled.

It's strange for two reasons.

First, what was Fiona thinking to make this place like this?

Second, why didn't he feel any problem with this before?
With doubts in mind, Karl and Liam worked for almost two hours before they had roughly cleaned up the house.

Then, they both collapsed on the sofa.

"Cleaning the house is more tiring than my training in the academy," Carl said with emotion.

Liam was still young, and after working for so long, he was so tired that he almost didn’t have the strength to speak, “Is the academy fun?”

When the academy was mentioned, Carl instantly regained his strength and grinned, "Very fun..."

Carl talked a lot.

After listening to this, Liam rolled his eyes and said, “I want to go to school too. It’s boring to stay at home every day.”

Karl was stunned when he heard it, “How old are you?”

“Five, almost six,” Liam said solemnly.

"Then it's time to go to school, you have to talk to Fiona," Carl replied.

With Karl’s support, Liam immediately nodded heavily, “Okay! I’ll tell Fiona when she comes back.”

Karl smiled and reached out to touch Liam’s head, then stood up and wanted to get something to drink, “I’m thirsty, what do you want to drink?”

Liam smiled a little, “Orange juice, Carl, I’m hungry.”

Karl didn’t feel anything just now, but when he heard Liam say that, he immediately felt a little hungry, so he smiled at Liam, “How about pizza? I’ll call and order one!”

"Yes!" Liam likes pizza.

******
It's about nine o'clock in the evening.

As usual, Sean drove Fiona, who was in the sweet period of love and was very happy both physically and mentally, to Carl's house.

In the living room of Karl’s house, Liam, who had finished eating pizza and was watching a movie, heard the noise outside and said to Karl beside him, “Fiona and Sean are back.”

Karl also heard the noise, and then he was very calm, neither surprised nor happy, "Yeah."

Liam didn't say much.

Not long after.

Fiona and Sean came into the house, talking and laughing.

Suddenly I saw Carl...

Fiona was stunned at first, then she walked towards Carl with a happy smile, "Jesus, Carl, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell me..." (End of this chapter)
