"Walk!"
Ignoring the plainclothes urban management officers who were blocking his way, the man in gray grabbed the girl's hand and tried to leave.
"Sir, is there some misunderstanding here?"
Alice pushed through the crowd, stopped the man in gray, and politely said...
"There's no misunderstanding, she is my daughter."
The man in gray looked furious and shouted, "What? Do you think it's my business if I want my family back?"
"No, no, sir..."
"Sister Alice! I don't want to go back with him, please save me!"
Before Alice could speak, the girl being pulled cried out, her face streaked with tears, looking pitiful.
"Shut up, I'll deal with you when we get home!"
Just as the man in gray was about to use brute force to break through, a small hand landed on his shoulder.
"snort!"
The gray-clad man snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with a cold light, but before he could deliver a fatal blow to the man behind him, the force from his shoulder shattered his shoulder blade, causing a cloud of blood mist to erupt!
"Hiss..."
The man in gray gasped, his face turning pale, and a bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
But no shout came, because a small, fair hand, as white as jade, grabbed his neck, and a wisp of silky black hair fluttered, stirring up a blazing flame.
"Little Fox Lord!"
The girl, now freed, stared in astonishment at the tall, imposing figure of her father who had lifted her up.
"It's Prince Little Fox!"
"Holy crap, didn't Master Fox go to buy fruit? How did she suddenly appear so quickly!"
"The Little Fox Who Vanishes Without a Trace!"
The surrounding crowd was slightly taken aback, and some of those who were afraid of the little fox ran away instantly.
A vicious fox is not to be trifled with!
"I heard some idiot is causing trouble on my turf?"
Xiao Han's eyes were calm as he lifted the gray-clad man with one hand, but due to his height, he could only lift him less than ten centimeters off the ground.
"M-Sir, I was wrong."
The man in gray immediately backed down. The little fox was infamous, and no one dared to disobey the will of a ruthless fox.
"You think you're so tough? Try being tough again and see what happens!"
"No, sir, this is actually a misunderstanding, I..."
The man in gray spoke with difficulty, the small hand gripping his throat making it hard for him to breathe.
"What exactly happened?"
Xiao Han released him abruptly, his expression calm, and glanced at the girl beside him.
"Little Fox, please...please don't send me home! I...I'll do anything!"
The girl cried, her delicate body trembling with inexplicable fear.
"Sir, that's just her temperament. She's been spoiled since she was little. Please don't take it to heart."
The man in gray covered his neck, pressed it, and after it was cleared, he said ingratiatingly to Xiao Han.
"Shut up."
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Han unleashed a burst of blazing fire, which coalesced into a powerful force that sent the gray-clad man flying to the side.
"Are you his daughter?"
Yes, yes.
"Then why not go back with him?"
"He, he..."
The girl stammered, her clear black and white pupils reflecting the fierce face of the gray-clad man, filled with fear.
Xiao Han remained calm; based on the girl's reaction, he had already guessed what had happened.
The slaves controlled by slave traders were not necessarily all trafficked; some were also the slaves' family members who sold their children for a considerable sum of money.
In the chaotic Nordic region, this is actually quite common.
The girl's father, upon hearing that the slaves freed by the little fox could be taken back by their families, harbored the idea of making a profit and attempted to take the girl back so that he could sell her through other channels.
"Then, how much is your daughter for? I'll buy her."
Xiao Han's calm voice startled the gray-clad man, who had expected to be beaten.
After confirming that Xiao Han was not joking, he hesitated for a moment. He was about to quote a slightly lower price than the market price, but then he caught a glimpse of his daughter's beautiful clothes. He figured that following Xiao Han would allow her to enjoy a better life.
At this point in his thoughts, the last vestige of paternal love vanished, replaced by greed in his eyes.
"Ten...no, twenty silver shells."
The man in gray quoted a high price.
This price could buy a top-quality female slave, but the girl's delicate features and petite, youthful age are completely unworthy of the price.
"Here are twenty silver shells, payment settled."
Xiao Han took out silver shells and a money bag. In front of the gray-clothed man, he put the silver shells into the bag one by one and then threw it to the gray-clothed man, whose greed was not concealed.
"My lord, please..."
"Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness Little Fox. May the God of Dreams bless you."
The girl gasped in shock and tried to stop him, but the man in gray had already taken the money bag and quickly walked away.
With this large sum of money, we can live a more comfortable life for the next few months.
Upon seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Xiao Han's eyes.
If he wasn't mistaken, the man in gray would run away as quickly as possible after getting the money, leaving his territory.
He gave a signal, and soon, several plainclothes urban management officers nodded and followed him.
The gray-clad man was a long line he had laid out; behind him was a group of forces, who would seize the opportunity to wipe him out with lightning speed once they had gathered enough intelligence.
"It's okay."
Alice hugged the girl, her gaze lingering on Xiao Han's retreating figure, a hint of awe flashing in her handsome eyes.
She couldn't understand why the little fox, so powerful and possessing a violent soul, would make a deal with the gray-clad man.
But she knew that the little fox was looking at everyone with equal eyes, quietly.
After that, the matter was considered closed. Xiao Han comforted the girl, telling her to work hard to pay off her debts, that she could clear them in a few years, and that if she performed well, her salary could be increased. Go for it!
This incongruous scene led those around to believe that the little fox had some misunderstanding about the word "creditor".
A small group of people even connected this to the young and impetuous nature of the fox spirit, who had a crush on a young girl, and instantly understood.
I absolutely adore the little fox girl!
Jerry the bear, George, and the others were stunned when they received the news.
Damn it, how noble is His Highness the Little Fox? He dares to make money off the Little Fox Lord? He must be tired of living!
Instantly, the pupils of the Third Urban Management Brigade turned bloodshot, and the entire brigade activated their magical runes, brimming with energy as they raced after the attackers to seize the credit.
Even the timid White Teeth grinned, pulled out his toothpick sword, and was the first to charge ahead.
