Chapter 134 Marlene

  …

  Faced with the attacking stick, Shen Ye didn't even think of dodging. He just grabbed the stick with his hand, and caught it under the little leader's grinning expression.

  The little leader's expression immediately turned into surprise. He pulled the stick in his hand hard, but it didn't move at all. He then realized that the man in front of him was not simple and he seemed to have hit a wall.

  Just when he was thinking about whether to explain that it was a misunderstanding, Shen Ye raised his foot and kicked him out, and he happened to roll into the alley.

  "Ouch!" the little leader screamed.

  The other thugs who saw this scene all swallowed their saliva, carefully stepped back a few steps, and made way for him.

  "You guys are smart." Shen Ye grinned, threw away the stick in his hand, turned and left.

  "ah!"

  At this moment, a childish scream suddenly came from the alley where the little leader rolled into, and then a girl covered in dust ran out.

  Then the little leader limped out and shouted to his stunned subordinates: "Why are you still standing there? It's her. Catch her quickly and don't let her get away."

  The men then reacted and chased after him.

  The girl fell down after running a few steps. She wanted to get up, but perhaps because she was too tired, she failed after several attempts. She could only turn around, support herself on the ground with her hands, and keep moving backwards.

  But how far can she move like this? The girl could only watch the gangster getting closer and closer to her.

  Seeing that she was about to be caught by the gangsters, the girl covered her eyes helplessly.

  But before the imagined scene of being caught by the bad guys appeared, the girl heard a few muffled bangs, followed by the sounds of several heavy objects falling to the ground.

  The girl's hands, which were covering her eyes, left a gap. She looked over with her smart eyes and found that all the thugs had fallen to the ground, and the only one standing was the strange uncle whom she had spied on before.

  "Can you get up by yourself? Or do you need my help?" Shen Ye asked with a frown, looking at the dusty girl in front of him.

  He eventually got himself into trouble.

  The girl removed her hands from her eyes, shook her head, and then supported herself on the ground, trying to get up.

  This time she succeeded and stood up smoothly. Just as she was about to say thank you to the young and handsome uncle in front of her, she heard dense footsteps behind her.

  The girl looked back and saw a large group of thugs with sticks who were also there to catch her.

  The girl immediately ran towards Shen Ye, but after only a few steps, she fell down again.

  Looking at the thugs rushing towards the girl, Shen Ye sighed, walked forward, picked up the girl, held her under his armpit, then turned around and ran.

  There were too many thugs, at least one or two hundred of them, packed together. Although he was confident that he could defeat them all, it would take some time.

  Moreover, anyone who can command so many thugs must have some abilities, and may be related to Shinra. He doesn't want to mess with them for the time being.

  …

  Shen Ye was very fast and got rid of those thugs in the blink of an eye.

  However, he did not stop immediately. Instead, he ran several streets with the girl before stopping in an alley.

  As soon as he put the girl down, she held his legs and started vomiting. After all, Shen Ye was a human being, not a car with suspension. It would be strange if the girl didn't vomit after running all the way.

  Looking at the girl who was vomiting all over the place, Shen Ye felt a little embarrassed. He took out a bottle of water from the storage space, unscrewed the lid and handed it to her.

  "Rinse your mouth." Shen Ye said gently.

  "Thank you...uncle." The girl thanked him, took the bottle of water and rinsed her mouth, then held the bottle and took a sip of water to ease her still violently beating heart.

  After the girl rested for a while, Shen Ye began to ask: "Why are they chasing you?"

  While asking, Shen Ye also looked at the girl. She was covered in dust and her face was also covered in dust. It was hard to tell her appearance, but her facial features were delicate. If she grew up, she would definitely be a great beauty. However, Shen Ye thought the girl looked like a beggar and generally speaking, she would not live to grow up.

  "They chased me because of my dad." The girl took another sip from the water bottle and continued, "They wanted to catch me and threaten my dad."

  "Blackmail your father?" Shen Ye was a little curious, "Is your father some great and important person?"

  "No, my father is just a vigilante." The girl thought of her father's part-time job and a hint of pride appeared on her face. She was obviously very satisfied with what her father did.

  "Just a vigilante?" Shen Ye was a little confused. He began to recall in his mind, but he really couldn't remember such a powerful person in the slums.

  After all, when he first played this game, he played it for Aerith and Tifa, and he only had a general idea of ​​the plot. He didn't pay attention to some of the details at all, or he didn't have the mood to pay attention to them.

  "Hmph, don't underestimate the vigilante. My father is very popular among ordinary people. He always helps others without sparing any effort. He is the best person in the world." The girl was somewhat dissatisfied with Shen Ye's reaction and began to praise her father.

  "It sounds really amazing." Shen Ye still respected good people and immediately said with awe.

  "That's it." The girl raised her head proudly.

  "But, after all, your father is just a vigilante. Even if he catches you and threatens your father, what can he do?" Shen Ye asked immediately.

  "Then I don't know." The girl shook her head, "No one told me."

  "Okay then." Shen Ye shrugged.

  "By the way, do you want me to take you home?" Shen Ye looked at the girl and asked. Since he was already in trouble, he might as well be a good person.

  "Ah, uncle, you want to take me home?" Hearing this, the girl immediately threw herself on Shen Ye and rubbed Shen Ye's pants with her dirty face: "Uncle, why are you so good, as good as my dad."

  "That's a pleasant thing to hear." Shen Ye touched the girl's head, but then took it back. The child must have been running outside for several days and was extremely dirty.

  "But before I send you back, I'm going to take you to take a shower first. You're too dirty." Shen Ye looked at the pants that were rubbed all over with dust, and simply picked up the girl, and then asked:

  "Are you familiar with this place? I'll take you to find an inn."

  "I've never been to this neighborhood. I was chased here." The girl shook her head and said.

  "That's troublesome." Shen Ye sighed and walked out of the alley with the girl in his arms.

  Halfway through the walk, Shen Ye remembered something.

  "What is your name?" he asked.

  The girl smiled at him and said, "Just call me Marlene."
