Chapter 169 Elanna: You're the Tired One, But I'm the Happy One (10.2K, 63/76)_3

Just as they were about to step forward, the lead youth, a short one, paused when he saw Kael's face, and cold sweat inexplicably rolled down his cheeks.

He dashed to the side of a youngster who was clutching his hand and wailing, and under Elanna's wary gaze, he smacked him across the face while scolding him:

"I saw your petty theft just now, you little thief! People like you are ruining the reputation of the Royal Capital!"

As he spoke, he hit even harder, turning his companion's face into a swollen mess, leaving him unable to speak.

Kael found the pickpocket's quick-reacting companion rather amusing, ultimately just saying:

"All right, all of you come with me to the Lion Heart Battle Group."

He gave them no chance to argue back, just smiling amiably at them.
