Chapter 138: Hero or Elite
Chapter 138: Hero or Elite
Unaware of what had transpired after his departure, Lyon, guided by his soul vision, once again located his mission target, adhering to his habit of completing tasks with a sense of closure.
Hmm... I didn't get a good look when I was rescuing her earlier, but this girl, the daughter of the Char Department Store owner, seems vaguely familiar from the back.
Observing the woman perched on the iron fence, her rear end sticking out as she had unsuccessfully attempted to climb over several times, Lyon hesitated for a moment before cautiously approaching her.
"Miss Amy?" he called out.
"Ah!"
Startled by the voice behind her, the woman on the fence panicked, and her left foot slipped off the fence. She let out a scream as she fell backward.
"Careful!"
Lyon quickly took two steps forward and extended his arms to catch her. After helping the pale-faced, doll-like girl to her feet, he noticed her still-frightened expression and offered reassurance. "Don't worry, Miss Amy. The Marsani family issue has been resolved. You're safe now."
"I... Mr. Lyon?"
Seeing Lyon's face, Amy, having recovered from her shock, was startled. Then, as if realizing something, she exclaimed in surprise, "Just now... was it you? Did you rescue me?"
"Yes, it was me."
Looking at the familiar doll-like face before him, Lyon couldn't help but express his own astonishment.
"You're the daughter of the Char Department Store owner?"
"I... I am. I'm sorry, I never told you before..."
After hesitantly answering Lyon's question, the doll-like girl, with a head full of questions, couldn't help but ask with a puzzled expression, "Just now... how did you disappear so quickly? And did you plant bombs in the walls? Why did the walls explode wherever you walked? And more..."
"Let's leave that for tomorrow. Your family is probably anxious, and I should take you home now. I'll explain everything tomorrow."
Having once again deferred her questions to the next day, Lyon, unable to ask his own questions due to her refusal, decided to bend the fence with the strength of the Holy Spirit pendant. He then led the doll-like girl through the opening, her head bowed.
...
Phew... Finally, I'm out!
Although she had only crossed one additional fence, for Amy, who had been confined for several days, it marked her complete escape from the Marsani family.
Unconsciously exhaling a sigh of relief, she patted her flat chest and secretly glanced at the back of a certain man. Her heart rate seemed to quicken slightly.
Initially, she had found a man who seemed suitable to be the head of the family at the department store. As she prepared to move in and become his neighbor to get to know him better, she was kidnapped on the way.
After spending several days in a dim, dark room, filled with fear and anxiety, she was finally rescued. And her rescuer was the man she had her eyes on!
Oh dear, this is...
Although he didn't rescue her with a princess carry, but instead carried her like a sack of potatoes, nearly making her nauseous, it should still count as a heroic rescue, right?
Holding her hand tighter, feeling the warmth and inexplicable sense of security, Amy whispered, her cheeks slightly flushed, "Mr. Lyon, thank you for rescuing me! I will definitely repay you!"
"That won't be necessary."
"After hearing her words, Leon, who was waiting by the roadside, shook his head and replied honestly, "The reason I came to rescue you is mainly because your father contacted our Bureau, hoping we could help. Then the Director assigned the task of saving you to me. As for the reward for rescuing you, your father has already paid in advance."
"Oh, I see..."
The hero who had just saved the damsel in distress suddenly transformed into a corporate elite, and the doll-faced girl's expression fell. The pink bubbles in her mind were burst, but when Leon mentioned her father, her expression turned anxious again, biting her lip as she asked with concern, "By the way, during my kidnapping, my parents must have been worried sick. How are they doing now?"
"I haven't seen them, but I don't think there's anything serious going on."
After a moment's thought, Leon replied, "After your father contacted us, our Director had someone investigate his situation. Your father seems a bit haggard, but he's still in good spirits. Your mother, on the other hand, is overly worried and fell ill, but it's not a severe illness. I'm sure she'll be fine when you return."
Hearing that everyone was safe and sound, the doll-faced girl felt slightly relieved. She bit her lip again and tentatively invited, "Mr. Leon, you've helped my family so much, so... if you're free in the next few days, can you come to my house as a guest? I want to properly thank you.”
