Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 151 Jack Beanstalk
But this gang boss is obviously no ordinary person.

His expression changed again, becoming the same as that of an ordinary person again, as if he had not recognized Lake's identity at all.

"Boss, I clearly didn't steal—"

The gang of thieves was delighted when they saw their boss coming. In their opinion, this boss from the Kingdom of Boren was the most powerful man they had ever seen.

The long sword belonging to the royal guard of Boren is even more indestructible.

Sure enough, he then saw anger on the boss's face and raised his hand -

"Snapped--"

With a loud bang, the gang of thieves was slapped to the ground by their boss the next moment.

"If you stole it, you stole it. You're always stealing and lacking discipline. Today you even offended our distinguished guests. You're truly unrepentant!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other gang members around them also understood something instantly.

Their expressions suddenly changed. They put the weapons in their hands back into their waists and lowered their heads, fearing that they would be noticed by the boss.

But obviously, this boss from Boren will not let it go.

"You, you, and you—you don't know right from wrong, and you even use weapons to threaten our distinguished guests."

Boss Bo Ren raised his hand and pointed at the people in the crowd who had pointed knives at Lake. They half-knelt on the ground in fear and said, "Your weapons are for protecting the town. Do you think... this is a den of robbers?!"

He looked at his younger brother kneeling on the ground and shouted at him harshly.

Then, he pretended to be apologetic and bowed slightly to Lake:

"Miss, we are not bandits. This place is on the border, and there are few soldiers stationed in the Biwei Kingdom. Therefore, we spontaneously organized people to manage the market.

It's because I didn't discipline these guys enough that they developed these bad habits of stealing and cheating."

The man spoke kindly, but the next moment, he looked behind him and saw several people kneeling on the ground. The words he said in his kind words made all the younger brothers feel cold all over:
"Miss, they must be punished for their actions today. How about I have them each cut off their arms as an apology?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a subordinate who came with the Boren people instantly drew his sword and placed it on the shoulder of the thief who had previously attempted to steal.

The man burst into tears instantly and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

But he didn't even dare to utter a word of begging for mercy.

"what?"

Lake's expression froze. She had just thought that this boss, who looked so impressive at first glance, was going to fight her, but she hadn't expected...

Are you here to apologize in person?
"Well, as long as he knows he's wrong, let him go."

Lake looked at the thief kneeling on the ground. His face was full of panic and tears were streaming down his face. Under the current conditions, if both arms were removed, he would probably not live long.

"Chopping off an arm for something as simple as stealing is a bit too much..."

Hearing Lake's words, a hint of joy flashed in Boss Boren's eyes. He was betting that the "savior angel" in front of him had kindness beyond ordinary people.

But the boss also understood that such coercion, which was similar to deception, would not leave a good impression.

But he stared at his younger brothers with a gloomy expression:

"You should thank this young lady for speaking up and sparing your arms—but since you have done something wrong, there must be punishment."

He clapped his hands, and two more thugs came forward, each holding a long cane. "Twenty lashes."

Those men were instantly overjoyed, kowtowed and thanked Lake, then were dragged to the other side, accompanied by the crack of whips and screams. Only then did Boss Boren turn around and look at Lake with a smile:

"Miss, we have offended our distinguished guests, so naturally we will make some compensation."

After he finished speaking, his confidants behind him understood what he meant. They brought a plate with some silver coins on it and said, "This is our compensation. I hope you will forgive me, Miss."

"Well, if they don't do it again, I won't need the compensation..."

Lake came back to her senses after a series of changes and refused the money in front of her.

To be honest, she and Poro had a lot of belongings with them and didn't particularly need this huge amount of money, which was extremely generous to ordinary people.

"Oh, that's how it is."

The Boren man's eyes showed an expression of expectation. As a Boren man, he always believed that the legendary "angel of salvation" must be a saint who regarded money as dirt.

And now, Lake's actions made him respect her even more.

"Go and use this money to help the disaster victims, using this young lady's name."

Bo Ren waved his hand and spoke to his confidant behind him. Then he made another gesture, and the gang members around him were stunned for a moment, and then scattered, giving the few people a space to talk privately.

"Miss, I feel a little bad that you won't accept our apology. I will tell you a piece of information in return."

The Boren thought for a moment, then said, "Miss, you are looking for information about the magic vine seeds, right?"

"Yes."

Lake nodded, a glimmer of hope in her eyes, "Do you know where it is?"

"Well, I don't have any here either, but I know who bought the beans from that dwarf earlier."

The Boren took out a very detailed map of the area near the town from his arms, pointed to a place and said, "It was a boy named Jack who traded his cattle for a handful of beans from the dwarf yesterday.

His family lives in a remote area, and he's probably the only one there, living next to the forest."

After telling Lake the location of Jack's house in detail, Bo Ren handed Lake the hardcover map in his hand.

Then, he thought of something and added,
"Oh right, it seems like there were other people yesterday who were also looking for the whereabouts of the devil vine seeds. However... he should also be from Boren, so it shouldn't have any impact."

After saying this, the leader of the Boren people thought for a moment, and after making sure that nothing was left out, he bowed again and said sincerely:

"Don't worry, young lady, I will definitely discipline those bastards and will never let them do something like stealing again!"

Looking at Lake's leaving back, Bo Ren breathed a sigh of relief.

His black armor was already covered in cold sweat.

Several subordinates came forward, all with puzzled expressions on their faces:
"Boss, who is that lady...? Why do you look so fearful?"

A burly man added, "Yes, Boss. You used to be a member of the Boren Royal Guard. In this area, even the captain of the Biwei Guard couldn't last a single round under your hands. Is this necessary?"

"Give orders! From now on, do not attack anyone in the town. If you are caught in the town, you will cut off one of your hands!"

The Boren man looked at his fellow soldiers around him and sneered, "Who is she? Have you heard of the giant battle in the Boren capital before?"
But she is... people like us will never be able to compare to her in our lifetime. She can only exist in legends.

Savior!"
