Chapter 207: Instant Killing
She hadn\'t expected him to find her, especially after she had run so far and hidden away.
However, she quickly came to her senses, remembering the two burly men in front of her who wanted to kidnap her.
"Don\'t come here! Run!" The little girl shouted hysterically, her voice desperate.
While the man\'s arrival initially made her feel a glimmer of hope, she quickly realized he couldn\'t possibly fend off the two burly men who wanted to capture her.
She had already stolen his pouch, causing him enough trouble, and she didn\'t want to see him get hurt because of her.
Moreover, the man had a three-year-old girl in his arms, which made it even more impossible for her to allow him to be beaten by them!
Upon hearing the little girl\'s desperate cry, the two burly men who were about to arrest her were startled and looked up towards the approaching man carrying the little girl in his arms—it was none other than Leon and Fiona.
"Oy, oy, oy, what\'s this? Who are you, and do you plan on saving this little girl?" One of them asked, his tone laced with authority, a faint smile playing on his lips.
The other man also smiled, eyeing Leon up and down with a mocking gaze, clearly unafraid.
Although Leon appeared tall like them, his thin frame caused them to naturally underestimate him.
The little girl panicked even more as the two burly men\'s eyes fixed on Leon. She pleaded with him silently through her eyes, urging him to leave quickly before it was too late.
Observing the dismissive gazes of the two burly demons, Leon frowned slightly but remained composed.
He strolled over leisurely and halted a few meters away from the girl, calmly observing her heterochromatic eyes.
"Little girl, you haven\'t answered my question. Did you steal my pouch?" Leon inquired, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Upon hearing Leon\'s words, Fiona, who was still in his arms licking her candy, was instantly startled, and she turned to the girl with a bewildered expression.
"Stealing? Daddy, did this big sister steal your pouch?" Fiona asked Leon, her tone tinged with confusion.
"Yes, this little girl stole my pouch," Leon confirmed with a nod before proceeding with his question, "Do you remember when she bumped into me earlier, just before we bought the candies?"
Fiona blinked her innocent round eyes and nodded vigorously, saying, "I remember, daddy."
"Well, at that time, she managed to steal my pouch without my noticing," Leon continued with a slight chuckle.
Truth be told, he couldn\'t help but admire the little girl\'s ability to steal his pouch without him noticing.
Naturally, this was partly due to him being caught off guard and captivated by her two very unique eye colors. However, he couldn\'t help but acknowledge that the little girl was quite skilled to have pulled off such a feat.
Upon hearing Leon\'s explanation, Fiona pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.
"Daddy, this big sister isn\'t a good person, but a bad person!" Fiona exclaimed with a pout, folding her little arms in protest as she looked at the little girl.
Leon chuckled at her statement and nodded silently, saying nothing more.
Receiving an upset look from Fiona, who was around the same age as her, instantly made the little girl feel embarrassed and sad.
To be honest, she never wanted to steal because she knew it was a despicable act. However, after days of finding no leftover food, hunger drove her to do it.
"Oy! How dare you ignore us!? Do you want to die?!"
"Damn it! This guy really wants to die!"
Seeing Leon disregard them, the two burly men roared angrily and fixed him with a murderous stare.

"Daddy! They\'re so scary!" Seeing their terrifying faces and hearing their menacing roars, Fiona widened her eyes in fear and sought refuge in Leon\'s arms.
This was her first encounter with figures sporting such ugly and terrifying faces, instilling intense fear within her.
Leon\'s expression instantly turned cold as he observed Fiona\'s terror and fixed a slightly narrowed gaze on the two burly men.
"I have no business with you guys, and don\'t force me to take action against you," Leon said coldly, his golden eyes betraying a hint of murderous intent.
Sensing Leon\'s killing intent, the bodies of the two burly men trembled, their expressions turning pale and losing their earlier bravado.
Observing their terrified state, Leon shook his head indifferently. Dealing with weak demons like them was beneath his interest. If not for the presence of the two little girls, he might have considered dispatching them, who dared to challenge him to hell.
While comforting Fiona by rubbing her small back, Leon turned his gaze back to the little girl with a softer expression and asked, "Well, little girl, where\'s my pouch? I know you stole it. Return it to me, and I won\'t punish you."
He couldn\'t understand why, but the moment he saw those unique eyes, he felt a strange sensation.
Upon hearing Leon\'s words, the little girl sadly lowered her head and pointed towards the two burly men. "I did steal your pouch, sir. However, it is no longer in my hands, but in theirs."
Following the direction indicated by the girl, Leon confirmed her words as he spotted his pouch in the hand of one of the men.
"You two. Can you give me back my pouch?" Leon asked calmly.
The two burly men, initially fearful of Leon, widened their eyes and stared back with hostile gazes.
"Return it? No way! This pouch is already in our hands and naturally belongs to us!"
"Right! If you want your pouch back, you\'ll have to get through to us first."
The two men roared, their fists clenched with a palpable aura of killing intent emanating from their bodies.
Witnessing this scene, despite her wounds, the little girl dragged herself forward with a worried expression. "Sir, you must run! They\'re very dangerous; you\'ll definitely get hurt!"
Leon\'s indifferent expression remained unchanged as he glanced at her and replied calmly, "You don\'t need to worry about me. Just close your eyes for now."
The little girl was stunned by Leon\'s words, but as she was about to say more, the indifferent look in Leon\'s golden eyes made her swallow her words and subconsciously close her eyes.
Seeing the little girl close her eyes, Leon checked on Fiona in his arms to ensure she was still huddled fearfully against him. Satisfied, he turned his gaze back to the two burly men with a cold stare, remarking, "If you\'re seeking death, don\'t blame me."
After uttering those words, Leon raised his right hand and pointed at them, pressing his index finger tightly against his middle finger.
"Sword manifestation, appear!" Leon whispered indifferently.
*Whoosh!*
Suddenly, two large, three-meter swords materialized from above the two burly men, radiating a bright light.
The sudden appearance of the two swords startled the two burly men, freezing them in place just before the swords descended swiftly and obliterated them without a trace.
Observing the swift and decisive killing scene, Leon\'s expression remained cold and indifferent as he murmured, "Don\'t blame me for not giving you an opportunity."
