"Ah, they are harassing Auntie Ying again!" The little girl said in an angry tone.
Heero frowned as he heard the little girl's words. "Again" This meant it was not the first time. Heero was somewhat angry inside, he never expected mankind would fall to this extent.
A group of men harassing a woman in the street openly like this and what made Heero angrier was the fact that no one helped the woman. It was clear there were many people here, but no one talked for the woman.
Heero who was currently somewhat angry inside felt his hand move. The little girl wanted to break free from his grasp.
"Big Brother, let me go! I will call My Father. They are afraid of My Father!" The little girl wanted to help the woman called Auntie Ying.
Hearing this, Heero smiled and rubbed the little girl's hair, "It's okay, Big Brother will help Auntie Ying."
"Really? But they are five people and you don't have a weapon. My Father is strong and also he has a knife, they don't dare fight My Father!" The little girl seemed to be doubtful of Heero.
"But this Big Brother is stronger than your father!" Heero smiled and walked toward the group.
Before he reached the group, there was a middle-aged man who advised Heero to not intervene, "Young man, don't get yourself involved with them, they are not good things!"
Heero knew the middle-aged man was reminding him in kindness. But Heero ignored the middle-aged man and walked toward the five men.
Indeed, he was not Hero anymore. However, he just could not watch such a thing happen before his eyes. His Grandfather, Father, Mother and his seven fairy mothers taught him to help everyone who needed help. Especially his grandfather, he taught him kindness, benevolence, and righteousness.
His Grandfather wanted to him be a Great Hero. Though he had given up to be a Hero, he could never forget what his grandfather taught him.
"Hehehe, Han Ying, our Boss is interested in you. Follow us and you can have a good life!"
"Right, it's your honor that Boss is interested in you. Why are you so stubborn? Just leave this slum and you can have a good life in the inner city!"
The two men in black leather jackets tried to persuade the woman. However, the woman kept shaking her head, indicating her rejection.
"Big Bro, this b*itch is so stubborn. The soft mean is not working on her, let's just drag her to Boss!" Another man walked toward the woman. He wanted to grab the woman's arm, but there was a strong hand that prevented him from touching the woman.
It was Heero. He easily got through the five men and shook the hand away. He stood right before the woman and faced the five thugs. Surprisingly, the little girl followed Heero and hid behind him.
"Huh!?"
The five men who surrounded the woman called Han Ying were surprised. The fact there was someone who broke through their line without them knowing was surprised them. If the man did not stand before them and shook away one of their friend's right hands, they would not feel the young man's presence at all.
"Don't you feel any shame in bullying a woman?" Heero said it with a strong sense of justice.
Earlier, Heero could not get to see the five men's faces. Now he could get a clear look and he found these five men were weird. At least, this was the first time Heero to seen a man wearing many earrings.
For example, the man in the middle had 15 gold earrings. Seven on each ear and one on his nose. Moreover, the man had hair with five colors, blue, yellow, red, green, and golden. There was even an earring on the lips of the other men. There was also a hole made of golden earrings on the man in his left. In the inside part of the hole, there was a golden earring.
Just looking at these people, he felt itchy on his lips, nose, and ears.
"Boy, who are you? Scram if you don't want to die!" The man whose hand was pushed away threatened Heero fiercely and licked his lips. He took a dagger from his black leather jacket.
At first, Heero did not want to use violence with these people, but it seemed it was not going to work that way.
As the thug took out a dagger, the little girl held Heero's thigh tighter. He could feel it, he looked down to the little girl and said, "Little Girl, can you close your eyes and count till five?"
Heero did not want to use violence before the kid. It was not good for a little girl like her to watch him fight.
The little girl blinked a few times then closed her eyes. Though she did not know why she was asked to count to five while keeping her eyes closed she still obeyed.

The little girl opened her eyes. Earlier, she heard a weird sound, but she obeyed Big Brother's words who gave her sweets and refrained from seeing what happened.
As she opened her eyes, she found the five bad men were lying down on the ground. Each thug held a certain part of their body in pain. The little girl was surprised to see this.
The little girl tilted her head up and found Big Brother also looking at her with a gentle smile. The smile gave her off a comfortable feeling and security. It was as if there were stars in the little girl's eyes, her eyes were sparkling as she looked at Heero.
The thug with five colors hairs tried to stand as he held his pained belly. Shock and fear could be seen from his look. He realized the young man was not a pushover. Two seconds, in two seconds he and his underlings were knocked down. The young man before him was at least Iron Class Hero.
Even though he was afraid of Iron Class Hero, he managed to calm down as he was not just an ordinary thug. He had a background that was also not weaker than a mere Iron Class Hero.
"D-do you know who we are?"
Heero looked at the five-colored hair thug with a weird look as if saying "Did you introduce yourself?".
The thug "-----"
"We are from Iron Fist Martial House. Our Boss is Silver Class Ranker, Yan Tie."
The thug explained his background to scare Heero. However, out of his expectation, not only the young man did not cower, but exuded a frightening killing intent.
The killing intent shocked him so much that he fell on his butt. Sweat poured down and terror could be seen on his face.
Not only the thug, but the woman behind Heero also quivered involuntarily. Even the little girl could feel it and shook Heero's thigh, "Big Brother, are you okay?"
Hearing the little girl's voice, Heero snapped out from the memories in his mind. When the five-colored hair thug said Iron Fist Martial House, he remembered something that he could not forget. Heero himself did not know why he was so angry over the past.
The killing intent vanished and Heero smiled back to the little girl, "I am okay!"
After that, he shot a fierce glare toward the five thugs.
The five thugs understood the meaning behind the glare. The young man was ordering them to scram. Without hesitation, the five-colored hair thug picked his quivering body up and ran away. It was followed by his underlings; they ran away from Heero.
When the five thugs ran away, there was a hand touching his shoulder. Heero looked back and found the hand belonged to the woman he helped just now.
Heero managed to get a clear look at the woman.
'No wonder the bandit's boss is interested in her, '
The woman had long black wavy hair, captivating blue eyes, and snow-white skin. Her body also was quite mature, this was the one called a mature lady. A beauty that lived in this kind of place was an easy target for thugs or bandits.
However, the captivating blue eyes were dimmed. It showed there was no spirit in those eyes. Heero could see it clearly, this was not the first time he saw this kind of eyes.
Every woman who lost her husband under the attack of the specter had these kinds of eyes.
"Mister, you have to leave here. If what they say is right, you are in danger! Silver Class Ranker, Yan Tie, he will come for you. You have to leave here!" The mature lady persuaded Heero to leave in her kindness despite knowing she was in a helpless situation herself.
Based on these words only, he knew this Silver Class Ranker, Yan tie was infamous for his misdeed.
"Then what about you?" Heero asked.
Knowing there was a woman in a helpless situation he couldn't leave her just like this.
Ranker, it was an existence similar to Hero. The difference is that the Ranker worked for money and a certain organization, not under a government. The ranking system was also different from Hero. It was said Ranker was stricter than Hero.
There were seven classes from the lowest started from Amateur Ranker, Iron Ranker, Bronze Ranker, Silver Ranker, Gold Ranker, Crown Ranker, and Legendary Ranker.
Yan Tie was a Silver Class Ranker, it was a middle-tier ranker. Of course, the ranker was not immune to the law, but the background behind the rankers was the most troublesome.
Usually, the rankers were working for a certain influential organization or people. This Yan Tie, for example, was working under a big group, Ming Group. Ming Group was quite an influential organization in the inner city.
"What Han Ying said is correct young man, I advise you to leave this place before too late!"
Heero looked towards the source of the sound and found a bulky man walking towards him. This man apparently lives in the building in front of them.
"Daddy!" The little girl rushed toward the bulky man. This bulky man was the little girl's father.
