Chapter 138 Hero or Elite
Not knowing what happened after he left, in line with the good habit of completing a mission from beginning to end, Leon found the target of the mission again according to the location in his soul's vision.

Hmm... I ran too fast when I was saving someone before and didn’t look closely. The back of this daughter of the owner of Charles Department Store seems a little familiar?
Looking at the woman who was climbing on the iron fence with her butt sticking out and trying several times but failing to get out, Leon hesitated for a moment and then tentatively asked:

"Miss Amy?"

"Oh!"

Hearing the sound behind her, the woman on the fence became anxious. Her left foot, which was barely holding onto the fence, stepped on empty air and she fell on her back with a scream.

"careful!"

Seeing her head rushing down, Leon was worried that she might get hurt. He quickly ran two steps and stretched out his arms to catch her. After helping the pale-faced girl to stand up, he saw that she was still in shock, so he comforted her:
"Don't worry, Miss Amy, the matter of the Masaini family has been resolved. You are safe now."

"I... Mr. Lyon?"

After finally seeing Leon’s face, Amy, who had recovered, was startled. Then, she seemed to understand something and said in surprise:
"Just now... it was you too? You rescued me?"

"it's me."

Looking at the familiar baby face in front of him, Leon was also surprised and said:

"You are actually the daughter of the owner of Charles Department Store?"

"I...I really am. I'm sorry I never told you before..."

After answering Leon’s question hesitantly, the baby-faced girl, who had a lot of questions in her mind, couldn’t help but ask with a puzzled look in her eyes:

"Just now...how did you disappear so quickly? Also, did you place a bomb on the wall? Why did the wall explode wherever you walked? And more..."

"Well...why don't we wait until tomorrow? Your family must be getting impatient. I'll take you home first and tell you tomorrow."

After throwing out "Definitely tomorrow" as an answer again, since he refused to answer her questions, Leon also had many other questions that he didn't want to ask. He grabbed the railing and pretended to exert force, then secretly used the power of the Holy Spirit Pendant to bend the railing, opening a gap large enough for people to pass through, and pulled the baby-faced girl out with his head down.

……

Phew...finally escaped!

Although it was just crossing one more fence, for Amy, who had been locked up for several days, it was a sign of complete escape from the Matheny family.

After unconsciously letting out a long sigh, she patted her flat chest, then secretly glanced at the back of a man, feeling her heartbeat slightly faster.

First, because of the department store incident, she found a man who seemed suitable to be a husband. She was about to move in to be his neighbor and get to know him better, but on the way to the move, he was kidnapped.

She was then locked in a small, dark room and spent a few days in fear before she was finally rescued. The person who rescued her turned out to be the man she fell in love with!

Oh, this is really...

Although the way he rescued me was not by carrying me in a princess hug, but by carrying me on his shoulders like a sack, which almost made me vomit, this can still be considered as a hero saving a beautiful woman, right?

After secretly grasping the hand being held tighter, Amy felt the warmth with an inexplicable sense of security. Her cheeks blushed as she whispered:

"Mr. Leon, thank you for saving me! I will definitely repay you!" "No need for that."

After hearing her words, Leon, who was waiting for the bus on the roadside, shook his head and answered honestly:

"The reason I came to save you is mainly because your father found our bureau and hoped that we could help. Then the director assigned the task of saving you to me. As for the reward for saving you, your father has already paid it in advance."

"That's it..."

The style of the hero who saved the beauty suddenly changed, and inexplicably became a workplace elite. The baby-faced girl couldn't help but frown, and the pink bubbles in her mind were popped by more than half. However, when she heard Leon mention Old Charles, her expression suddenly became nervous again, biting her lip and asking worriedly:

"By the way, my parents must have been worried sick during the days I was kidnapped. Are they okay now?"

"I haven't seen them, but it shouldn't be a big deal."

Leon thought for a moment and replied:
"After your father came to our house, our director had someone investigate his condition. He said that although your father looked a little haggard, he was in good spirits. Your mother fell ill due to excessive worry, but her illness was not serious. I think you will be fine when you go back."

I hope everything is alright...

After inquiring about her parents' situation, the baby-faced girl felt a little relieved. She bit her lip again and tentatively invited him:

“Mr. Leon, you have helped my family so much, so…if it is convenient for you, can you come to my house in a couple of days? I want to thank you properly.”

In two days... isn't that the Ryan family's inheritance ceremony going to be held? Besides, the investigators from the General Administration will probably arrive tomorrow morning, so that's definitely not going to work.

“It doesn’t seem very convenient.”

Leon thought about it and shook his head:
"I happen to have something to do in a couple of days, so I probably won't have the time. And you really don't have to thank me... Oh, by the way, do you have any money on you?"

"Ah? Yes, yes!"

After hearing what Leon said, the baby-faced girl quickly rummaged around, took out a delicate leather wallet from the pocket of her skirt, took out a stack of bearer checks worth 10 gold wheels and handed it over, then said a little embarrassedly:
"I was kidnapped quite unexpectedly, and I don't have much money with me. Is this enough?"

"..."

Never mind...just pretend I didn't ask.

Looking at the check in front of him, which was enough to pay for most of his salary for half a year, Leon was silent for a while, then pushed the check back speechlessly. Then he rummaged in his pocket and found that the number of copper wheels was not enough, so he took out a silver wheel and handed it to her, then pointed to the approaching steam carriage and said:

"You and I are not going the same way. When the carriage comes, you can take it directly home. Remember to hide your check on the way, or you will be kidnapped right after I rescue you.

Also, it's about nine kilometers from Redwood Avenue to Charles Department Store headquarters. The five kilometers are charged two copper fare, and the remaining four kilometers are charged one copper fare per kilometer. If you get off the bus half a block in advance, it only costs six copper fare... Forget it, you pay me back first!"

Although he felt that she was not the kind of young lady who was ignorant of the ways of the world during their past encounters, he was still shocked when she took out his year's salary from her pocket. He was worried that she would really pay the fare with a check.
After handing the silver wheel to the coachman and asking for the change of three copper wheels in advance, Lyon carefully wrote down the number on the rear of the steam carriage before sending the baby-faced girl away with peace of mind. Then, he waved for another carriage, got on it, counted out a handful of copper wheels and handed them to the coachman.

"35 Bridge Street, Happy Apartments."
