Fairy tale: Little Red Riding Hood's wolf mentor

But this gang leader was clearly no ordinary person.

His expression shifted again, returning to normal as if he hadn't recognized Leke's identity at all.

"Boss, I swear I didn't steal—"

The gang thief, seeing his boss arrive, was overjoyed. In his mind, this leader from the Kingdom of Boren was the strongest person he had ever seen.

That long sword belonging to the Boren Royal Guards was also indestructible.

Sure enough, he then saw anger rise on his boss's face as he raised his hand—

"Slap—"

With a loud sound, the gang thief was knocked to the ground by his boss's slap.

"Stealing is stealing. You're always petty and undisciplined. Today, you even offended a distinguished guest. You're truly incorrigible!"

As soon as these words came out, the other gang members around immediately understood something.

Their expressions changed instantly, and they sheathed their weapons, lowering their heads, afraid of being noticed by the boss.

But clearly, this leader from Boren wouldn't let it go so easily.

"You, you, and you—unable to distinguish right from wrong, even using weapons to threaten a distinguished guest."

The Boren leader pointed to the people in the crowd who had previously pointed knives at Leke. Those people knelt down in panic. "Your weapons are meant to protect the town. Do you think… this is a den of thieves?"

He looked at the kneeling subordinates and scolded them sternly.

Then, putting on an apologetic expression, he bowed slightly to Leke:

"Miss, we are not robbers. This place is on the border, and the Biwei Kingdom has few troops stationed here. Therefore, we spontaneously organized people to manage the market.

These few are due to my usual lack of discipline, leading to these petty theft habits."

The Boren man spoke kindly, but the next moment, he looked at the kneeling men behind him, and the words spoken in his kind tone sent chills down the spines of all the subordinates:

"Miss, their actions today must be punished. How about I have their arms broken to express my apology?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a subordinate who had come with the Boren man instantly drew his sword and placed it on the shoulder of the thief who had stolen.

The man burst into tears and trembled uncontrollably.

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

"Ah?"

Leke was stunned. She had just thought that the leader in front of her, who looked very imposing, was going to fight her, but she didn't expect…

He came to apologize in person?

"Uh, as long as he knows he's wrong, let him go."

Leke looked at the thief kneeling on the ground, his face full of panic, tears streaming down his face. Under the current conditions, if he lost both arms, he probably wouldn't live long.

"Just for stealing, cutting off arms is a bit too much…"

Hearing Leke's words, a hint of joy flashed in the Boren leader's eyes. He was betting that this "savior angel" had extraordinary kindness.

But this leader also knew that this kind of coercive deception wouldn't leave a good impression.

But he stared at his subordinates, still with a gloomy expression:

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

He clapped his hands, and two more thugs stepped forward, each holding a long cane. "Twenty lashes of the whip."

The few people were overjoyed, kowtowing and thanking Leke, and then were dragged to the other side, where the sounds of whipping and screams were heard.

The Boren leader then turned around and looked at Leke with a smile:

"Miss, we have offended a distinguished guest, so naturally there will be compensation."

After he said this, the confidants behind him had already understood. They brought a plate with some silver coins on it. "This is our compensation, I hope the miss will forgive us."

"Uh, if they don't do it again in the future, I won't need this compensation…"

Leke came back to her senses a little from the series of changes and refused the silver coins in front of her.

Honestly, she and Polo had a lot of wealth with them and didn't particularly need this money, which was extremely generous to ordinary people.

"Oh, is that so."

The Boren man revealed an expression of expectation in his eyes. As a Boren person, he had always believed that the legendary "savior angel" must be a saint who regarded money as dirt.

And now, Leke's actions made him feel even more respect.

"Go use this money to relieve the disaster victims in the name of this miss."

The Boren man waved to the confidants behind him. Then, he gestured again, and the surrounding gang members were stunned for a moment, then dispersed, giving the few people a private space to talk.

"Miss, you don't accept our apology gift, so I feel a little uneasy. I'll tell you some information as a reward."

The Boren man thought for a moment, then said, "Miss, you are looking for news of that magic vine seed, right?"

"Yes."

Leke nodded, a hint of hope in her eyes. "Do you know where it is?"

"Uh, I don't have it here, but I know who bought the dwarf's beans before."

The Boren man said, taking out an extremely detailed map of the area near the town from his arms, and then pointing to one of the places, "It was a boy named Jack. Yesterday, he used his family's cow to exchange for that handful of beans from the dwarf.

His house is relatively remote. There should only be his house nearby, living next to this forest."

After the Boren man explained the location of Jack's house to Leke in detail, he handed the hardcover map in his hand to Leke.

Then, thinking of something, he added,

"By the way, it seems that yesterday, there were other people who were also looking for the whereabouts of this magic vine seed, but… he should also be from Boren, so it shouldn't have any impact."

After saying this, the Boren leader thought for a moment, confirmed that nothing was missing, and then bowed again, sincerely saying:

"Rest assured, Miss, I will definitely discipline those bastards well in the future and will never let them commit theft again!"

Watching Leke's departing back, the Boren man breathed a sigh of relief.

His black armor was already full of cold sweat.

Several subordinates stepped forward, all with puzzled expressions:

"Boss, who exactly is that woman… miss? Why do you seem so afraid?"

A strong man also added, "Yeah, boss, you used to be a Boren Royal Guard. In this area, even the captain of the Biwei Guard can't last a round in your hands. Is it necessary to be like this?"

"Order it down, from now on, don't attack the people in the town anymore. If you are caught in the town, break your own hand!"

The Boren man looked at the subordinates around him and sneered, "Who is she? Have you heard of the giant battle in the Boren capital before?

She is… someone like us, who we are not worthy to look up to in our entire lives, can only exist in legends—

The savior!"
