Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 150 Gangsters, Sellers

The sky was getting a little dark, and the merchants and residents in the town began to pack up their stalls and head towards the exit.

Lake and Poro also mixed in with the crowd and walked out.

There were many pedestrians on both sides. Lake tried her best to avoid contact with more people and walked towards the more spacious areas near the sides of the road.

But even so, there was still a group of merchants carrying things hurriedly passing by Lake——

"Bam—"

One of them seemed to be unsteady on his feet and tripped as he passed by Lake, and was about to fall on her.

At this time, behind Lake.

A man who seemed to be sorting goods took advantage of Lake's dodging to the side and attracted her attention, and instantly reached out to the cloth bag of gold coins on Lake's waist!
His speed was incredibly fast, as if he had gained proficiency through countless trials and tribulations!
But... when he took the cloth bag in his hand, his whole body stiffened and he felt a biting chill in his throat.

"Why did you become a thief and steal my purse?"

He looked at the girl in front of him, who he and others had originally thought was a noble lady.

Just now, with her hand speed faster than her own stealing speed, she pulled out the dagger and put it against her throat as soon as she realized that she was being robbed!
"Gu..."

He swallowed, his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees.

With his previous methods, most people would have their belongings stolen without them realizing it.

Even if they discovered me, they wouldn't have time to chase me as I ran away.

But this time, he inexplicably felt a deep chill...

"Miss, it's a misunderstanding..."

The man waved his hands and spoke haltingly, handing the purse in his hand to Lake tremblingly.

"Misunderstand?"

Lake raised her eyebrows. She hadn't expected the man in front of her to insist that it was a misunderstanding even after being caught red-handed. "What misunderstanding? You opened my purse. Was it a misunderstanding?"

"Yes, miss, to be fair, I know him, and he's not the kind of thief..."

At this time, the man on the other side of Lake who almost bumped into her just now spoke.

His expression and tone were sincere, as if he was really a rational person who could convince others with reason.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to doubt what you said..."

Lake was stunned for a moment, and as she spoke, the next second, a silver light flashed!

With her other hand, she had already drawn the mirror-like Star-Killing Sword and pointed it at the fake merchant who had just bumped into her. She was not stupid. The insight brought by the second-level sublimation of [Spiral Beacon: Hunter] was enough for her to discover these people's small movements.

"But there is also this gentleman. If I am not mistaken, you are also an accomplice, right?"

As Lake spoke, she stared quietly at the second pale man.

"Come with me to the guardhouse. You must be punished for doing such a thing! You must have deceived many people with such means!"

But just as Lake was about to take the two away, several men walked out of the crowd and blocked their way.

Some villagers passing by saw the marks on these people's bodies and showed fear on their faces.

A few passersby looked at Lake with pity in their eyes, as if they wanted to say something but couldn't open their mouths.

He just sighed and left silently with his things.

"Miss, you are new here and unfamiliar with the place. You may not know some things."

A man who was two heads taller than Lake came forward, deliberately showing the long sword at his waist. He spoke calmly, but with a hint of pressure in his tone.
"These two are our friends. Please give us some face. If you want to take him away, we will definitely not agree."

As the man spoke, several men nearby took half a step forward, declaring their positions.

Judging by the tattoos on their necks, they were likely members of the same gang. "They just saw your wallet fall, young lady, and picked it up for you. They didn't intend to steal anything."

When you're out and about, it's better to have less to do than more, what do you think? "

These guys who looked like gang members continued to take a step forward together. Some of them even put their hands on the hilts of the knives at their waists and made threatening gestures of drawing the knives.

In their eyes, the rich lady in front of them was wearing a red cloak but had delicate skin.

Under such a threat, he would definitely suffer a loss and leave, right?
In the past, people in this town have been caught doing such things.

On several occasions, the owners of the lost items were even powerful mercenaries or foreign bounty hunters. However, when surrounded by the crowd, most of them "turned hostility into friendship" and even praised these gang thieves for "returning the lost items to the right path."

But to their surprise, this time, the girl in front of them didn't seem to be afraid at all.

"You did something so wrong, why don't you admit it? You have hands and feet, you can do anything and you won't starve to death.

But you steal and then ask me to admit that I returned the money—that makes me very angry.”

Lake said calmly.

But the tall man in front of him obviously didn't listen to Lake's words.

"Little girl, you have to understand that in this world, there are not so many right and wrongs. Only the strong are right."

As he spoke, he did not draw his sword, but stepped forward and suddenly stretched out his hand, trying to snatch the sword and dagger from Lake's hand, "Little girl, we don't want to cause any trouble. Weapons are not something a delicate girl like you can play with.

Once you understand the difference in strength, just leave here obediently—"

But before he could finish his words, Lake sighed and put the dagger and the Star Killer Sword back into the scabbard.

The next moment, the man in front of him, who had not yet reacted, flew into the air and was thrown to the ground by Lake with one hand!
"Oh!"

In an instant, everyone was stunned.

They hardly saw Lake's movements, they only saw their powerful little boss being thrown to the ground in just a moment!
"You, what did you do?"

"Are you a witch!?"

"Go call the boss!"

After a while, those people finally reacted and drew their swords, pointing them at Lake with panic on their faces.

Just when the tension on the field reached a certain level, the crowd at the back suddenly separated into a path, and a man wearing half black armor but no helmet walked over.

"What's wrong? What are you arguing about?"

Hearing this voice, the men surrounding Lake instantly showed a hint of joy.

"Boss, this woman is disrupting the order of the town and injuring several brothers!"

As a few people were talking, a few others ran to the boss and whispered something. When the man in black armor heard that Lake had knocked down his "right-hand man" with his bare hands, he frowned and showed a hint of fear.

"Everyone, get out of the way. I want to talk to this friend and see who is so unruly!"

As he spoke, he walked through the crowd and pulled out a long sword engraved with runes from his waist.

But the moment he saw Lake's crimson cloak, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Then, he moved his gaze to the hilt of the Star Killer Sword at Lake's waist:
"Fuck, angel of salvation—"

The words in his mind almost came out of his mouth, and his calm face turned pale as paper in an instant.

My legs went weak and I almost fell to the ground.

I wanted to slap myself twice and take back what I just said.
