Chapter 419
Until Leon whispered "thank you" in her ear.
She stopped and let him hold her.
Compared to Rebecca, Tiger, or Charlotte, Losweiser might not have spent the most time with Leon, but...
She must understand him best.
Leon needs right now is not comfort, encouragement, or reverse psychology.
What he needs is... companionship.
Losweiser's attitude remained unchanged:
No matter what happens, no matter the outcome, I will face it with you.
Just like the family sports meet at the Saint Hiss Academy, just like the battle of the Radiant Star Dragon King, just like the 'journey' in the Far North, just like...
Every single one in the past.
After hugging him enough, Leon let go.
Losweiser quickly pushed him away, then adjusted her wig.
"Honestly, how old are you? Aren't you ashamed?"
"On a whim, honey."
Losweiser rolled her eyes at him, feigning disgust. "Don't call me 'wife,' especially not so affectionately."
Leon shrugged innocently. "Didn't you say yesterday that you were my wife in public?"
Yesterday is yesterday, today is today. Today you are my captive, and I am your Queen.
"... Such a quick change of expression."
"Mind your own business."
Her unwavering support for Leon remains unchanged, and her speed of changing her tune... is also as remarkable as ever.
Just as the couple were arguing, Leon suddenly felt a gentle breeze brush past him.
But they didn't pay any attention.
However, Losweiser's expression underwent a subtle change.
"If you ask me, Dragon Queen, your mouth is so hard that even my Thousand Birds can't penetrate it."
Despite the jerk's teasing, Losweiser ignored him, focusing instead on what was behind him.
"Could it be that the Thousand Birds can't penetrate it because it's not fast enough?"
Leon was taken aback. What? Did the Dragon Queen really want to discuss the application of magic with him?
"Um... you've seen how fast I am, very fast, super fast."
At this moment, Losweiser slowly raised her hand, pointed behind Leon, and asked calmly,
"Since you're that fast, you should be able to catch up with the thief who just stole your wallet, right?"
Leon: What?! (ΩДΩ)
Leon hurriedly turned around and saw a black figure quickly disappear into the alleyway by the roadside.
Losweiser patted him slowly on the shoulder.
"Just a reminder, this wallet contains the shopping allowance Rebecca gave us for the two of us. We still need to buy some paper lanterns to take home."
Leon grinned. "Just a petty thief. Watch me bring him to justice in no time."
Losweiser covered her mouth and chuckled, then clapped her hands, pretending to admire Leon greatly, "Wow~ my husband is so awesome~"
"Now I'm your husband again, not your prisoner?"
"Whether you're a husband or a prisoner is up to me."
Leon waved his hand, stopped arguing with her, and turned to chase after the thief.
Losweiser followed closely behind.
Frankly speaking, for the former Empire's strongest Dragon Slayer and the Silver Dragon Queen, renowned for her speed, to team up and capture a petty thief is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito—
Overkill.
That's how it is with these ill-fated couples; they only need to think about how to overthrow the dog emperor, while we petty thieves have many more things to consider.
Then they saw the petty thief darting left and right, running around aimlessly in the alleys and hutongs of the central district.
You can tell at a glance that they're an expert; otherwise, they couldn't be this skilled.
But he overlooked one problem:
Leon also grew up here.
The three chased each other, and Leon and his wife soon spotted the petty thief's back.
The group rushed into a narrow alley. Leon caught a glimpse of a wooden stick leaning against the wall and immediately had an idea.
Leon grabbed the wooden stick and charged straight at the petty thief!
"Hmph, trying to escape. Lightning—Whirlwind—Ouch!"
Before General Leon could finish calling out the name of the move, the petty thief suddenly made a sharp turn around the corner ahead. Leon couldn't react in time and rushed straight over, tumbling headfirst into a pile of cardboard boxes.
The thief swaggered away.
Losweiser walked slowly over, glanced at the thief's retreating figure, then looked away and at Leon lying among the boxes. She crossed her arms, a smile playing on her lips.
"Lightning - Whirlwind what?"
"Hack!"
"Wow, what an awesome move! Does it slam you into a pile of cardboard boxes?"
Teasingly, Losweiser reached out and pulled the idiot out of the cardboard box.
Leon turned to look in the direction the petty thief had fled, and said quietly,
"I've changed my mind. In addition to bringing him to justice, I'm going to shove his head into a cardboard box."
Losweiser chuckled, "Alright, let's continue. Let's see who catches him first."
Leon raised an eyebrow, his fighting spirit, which had just been ignited, was immediately stimulated to a higher level by Losweiser.
"Alright, let's have a competition!"
Mr. Thief, why did you provoke him?
127 Two slices of bread with cheese sandwich
Will doesn't consider himself a thief.
Because he never steals from ordinary people's wallets, only from the wealthy, especially high-ranking officials and dignitaries who stroll around the central district.
Therefore, this behavior is commonly referred to as—
Robin Hood-like activities to help the poor.
Of course, Will was robbing others of their wealth to help his own poverty.
Just like that couple who were embracing and showing affection on the main street, they clearly came from a wealthy family in the Upper City.
They might even be nobles from the royal family.
Despite their simple attire, their every move exuded elegance and poise.
Having spent ten years in Midtown, Will could easily tell who the rich were.
And once again, it has been proven that 'Robin Hood' Will has found the right person.
With his superb understanding of the map, Will easily shook off the two idiots, a man and a woman.
Before he shook him off, he heard the man yelling things like lightning and whirlwinds—
Haha, so childish!
"I'm already past the age of being a 'chuunibyou' (middle school syndrome) person, but he's still not."
This is Will's heartfelt assessment of the man who plunged headfirst into the pile of cardboard boxes.
After creating some distance and making sure they weren't following, Will found a corner and opened the wallet he had just acquired.
The room was filled with gold coins that almost blinded Will.
"Wow, that's a lot of money. I couldn't earn that much even if I worked as a warehouse keeper for twenty years."
Will chuckled smugly, "I told you I didn't steal the wrong thing this time! This must be the blood and sweat money that those bastards in the royal family squeezed from us common people!"
He was about to secretly pocket the huge sum of money he had robbed of the rich to help the poor, but then he suddenly remembered what the mysterious man had told him:
"Kid, you want to join the Lionheart Society? Do something big and see how you prove your loyalty."
The Warlords.
Will understands this.
In the early days when we were young and hanging out on the streets, eleven or twelve-year-old boys would form gangs. If you wanted to join someone's camp, you had to do something "big" as a pledge of loyalty, otherwise it was out of the question.
According to rumors, the Lionheart Society was a revolutionary organization founded by Leon Casmod, the former strongest Dragon Slayer in the empire.
The organization is full of ambitious people who dare to defy fate.
Although the empire has labeled these people with "treason" and "rebellion," everyone knows what kind of attitude the empire currently has towards its people.
Will had long admired Leon Casmod's reputation and had always wanted to join the Lionheart Society.
But this organization is too mysterious and unpredictable. After all this time, Will only knows that Nacho, the 'beggar' who hangs out in the central district all year round, may be a member of the Lionheart Society.
Therefore, Will has always pledged his loyalty to Nacho.
But Nacho always brushed it off with a laugh.
But this time—
Will weighed the wallet in his hand.
"My pledge of allegiance is quite substantial, Nacho. Let's see how you refuse me this time."
Will was secretly pleased when he suddenly heard a male voice above him.
"Little friend, have you looked enough? If you have, give me back my wallet."
Will was startled and quickly looked up.
He saw the idiot whose wallet he had just stolen standing on the low wall, arms crossed, looking down at him.
Will instinctively took two steps back, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
"Damn it... how did they catch up so fast?"
The key issue isn't how fast he catches up; the key issue is that this guy managed to appear in front of Will so silently.
This put a little pressure on Will, who always considered himself a 'master thief'.
"Heh, if you want to go back, let's see if you have the ability."
After saying that, Will turned and tried to slip away.
But as soon as he took a step, he saw a tall and slender figure standing in front of him.
Her black hair swayed in the wind, the beauty stood tall with her arms crossed.
Although her face was expressionless, her silver eyes exuded a strong sense of pressure.
Will nervously swallowed, then turned around and ran down another road.
Losweiser walked over slowly, wearing high heels.
"He's stubborn as a mule, never giving up until he hits a brick wall."
Leon jumped off the low wall, put his hands on his hips, and watched Will's retreating figure with Losweiser.
He squinted slightly, estimated the distance, and then said,
"Should we continue the competition? I feel like I'm going to win."
"Aren't you afraid of making a big promise and then getting your tongue stuck?"
