2113 North Wallace Street.
Hearing Veronica's words, Kevin immediately widened his eyes in shock.
Quit? Break partnership with Dexter?
Are you fxxking kidding me?
Dexter owns 49% of Alibi Room. Alibi has today's business and all those rich people because Dexter brought them in!
Veronica earning that much money is all thanks to Dexter. Otherwise, you really think a waitress could pull in that kind of cash?
So... stay away from Dexter?
After staying away, what else would they have?
How long could those meager savings last?
Then go back to living their old life?
"V, what are you talking about?" Kevin took a fierce drag of his cigarette, looking at Veronica with a totally serious face, and spoke. "First, all these things you mentioned are just Fiona's side of story. We aren't even sure if they're true or false."
"Second, even if it's true, so what? What does it have to do with us?"
Veronica was fiercely shocked, not expecting Kevin to say this. "How is it none of our business? If it's true, Dexter is a criminal! How can we be involved with him? What if he gets arrested and police think we are accomplices? What if one day we piss him off and he hurts us?"
Kevin took two more quick drags of his cigarette. "V, calm down. Stop yelling."
"Where are you getting all these 'what ifs'?"
"We've known Dexter for over a year. He's taken care of us a lot and never hurt us, right?"
"Even if what Fiona says is true... Dexter is only targeting Gallaghers!"
"I'll be honest, how many people hate those Gallaghers? Those Gallaghers deserve to be fxxked with!"
Words spoken.
Veronica was completely shocked. Whoosh, she stood up abruptly. "Kevin, what the fxxk?"
Kevin was still sitting, looked up at Veronica, then shook his head helplessly.
Being together for so many years, Kevin knew exactly how scared of trouble Veronica was.
Before, after compromising, there wasn't much loss, so he just compromised. But this time... Kevin didn't want to compromise.
"V, sit down, calm down. Think carefully about what you're saying, then think carefully about how much Dexter has done for us, and then we'll talk," Kevin said in a deep voice.
Facing this uncompromising attitude from Kevin, Veronica froze for a moment, then sat down obediently.
Their relationship was just like this.
When they argued, Veronica habitually put on a strong front. Most times, Kevin would immediately compromise, and problem solved.
But if Kevin didn't compromise, Veronica would panic, and her so-called strong front would instantly disappear quite a bit.
After all, deep down, Veronica was a coward. Her reason for being strong... to put it bluntly, was just being a tyrant at home.
This point was well reflected later in original show, when Veronica and Kevin swapped roles, and Veronica craved being abused by Kevin.
For a moment, neither spoke.
Veronica obediently started thinking, just as Kevin told her.
Kevin lit another cigarette, smoking silently.
Little Wu continued staying quietly outside window.

2118 North Wallace Street.
Dexter sat on first-floor sofa, sensing information fed back by Little Wu. He chuckled happily, then turned his head to look at Gallagher house again.
Of course, with walls blocking his view, he couldn't see.
But, it didn't matter.
Hehe. Fiona Gallagher, you are a real fxxking idiot.
Words were spoken so clearly, yet you still dare to cause trouble.
Never learn your lesson.
Dexter thought with a smile. Being idle anyway, he started pondering how to creatively mess with Fiona, this town bicycle.
...
Time gradually slipped away.
2113 North Wallace Street.
Veronica indeed calmed down a lot. Looking at Kevin, she hesitated for two seconds and spoke. "I admit, Dexter really helped us a lot."
"Our ability to have this kind of life now is indeed because of Dexter."
"But this is a matter of principle."
"Do we really want to keep being friends with a criminal like Dexter?"
"We are not those kinds of people!"
Pausing for a moment.
Veronica added. "Kevin, I still want to quit."
After listening, Kevin truly had a fxxking headache. Staring at Veronica without blinking for a few seconds, he finally voiced out. "Quit, and then what?"
Veronica wasn't very smart either and hadn't thought about it at all. Being asked now, she replied subconsciously. "We have savings, we have two houses, life is already very good. We can live normally, no problem."
Words entered his ears.
Kevin fell silent again.
Abandoned as a child, growing up bouncing around multiple foster homes, Kevin was actually quite insecure inside. Wanting to be rich, wanting to be looked up to and respected, Kevin had gradually gotten those desired things over past year or so...
Now...
Just because Dexter was messing with Gallaghers, he had to give it up?
On what grounds?
Kevin was different from Veronica. Even if Dexter was a criminal, Kevin didn't care.
After all, what was there to care about! This was fxxking South Side.
How many criminals were there? All year round, how many criminals came to Alibi to drink?
Alibi's liquor supplier was a bona fide criminal, and Alibi's boss Stan was even more of a criminal...
Criminals weren't out-and-out bad guys anyway.
"V," Kevin thought a lot for a moment, lit another cigarette, and found his voice. "This is South Side, I don't think Dexter has any problem."
"Did those rich people make all that money by being kind?"
"I've heard many Chicago billionaires secretly did a lot of bloody things."
"I still hold same attitude. I don't sympathize with Frank, nor do I sympathize with Gallaghers."
Veronica's body jolted.
With words reaching this point, Kevin actually still said this...
Uncontrollably, Veronica felt chills all over her body, even feeling she didn't know Kevin anymore. "Kevin, what do you mean? You won't stay away from Dexter?"
Kevin exhaled a long puff of smoke, looked at Veronica, hesitated again and again, and got up. "I need to think, suggest you do same."
"Think carefully about consequences of quitting. If you still want to quit, then suit yourself."
Dropping these two sentences, Kevin lifted his feet and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Veronica was anxious.
"Alibi," Kevin replied without looking back.
Exiting door, Kevin didn't stop, got in his car in one breath, started ignition, and sped towards Alibi.
Veronica sat on sofa, angry and panicked, completely at a loss for a moment, not knowing what to do.
On late-night road.
Kevin smoked his cigarette. Car drove very fast, and his mind raced very fast too.
In just a short while.
Kevin returned to Alibi Room. Catching a glimpse of Mickey, suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit him, and he had a self-proclaimed smart idea.
Fiona said Dexter hired someone to kidnap Lip and hired someone to chop off Frank's right arm...
This matter probably had something to do with Mickey.
Kevin planned to chat with Mickey and probe tactfully.
