This Three-Year-Old Is A Villainess - Chapter 248
Step, step, step.
The men, eyes blazing with hostility, slowly advanced toward us.
Shuffle.
Han Ji-hyuk and I instinctively took a step back, retreating deeper into the alley as they closed in.
Han Ji-hyuk nudged me slightly and whispered.
“Hey, do something.”
“You do something! You’re my servant!”
“But…! I’m… fragile.”
Han Ji-hyuk’s voice, which had started out loud, suddenly dropped to a whisper as he realized the men were right in front of us.
Ugh.
Just a moment ago, he had seemed dependable—now he was utterly useless.
‘This is why I told him to train with Mosco.’
“Aha!”
Han Ji-hyuk’s eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something brilliant.
“Call the dragon. Call him.”
I knew he was going to say that.
Is he insane?
Calling Ragon just to deal with some thugs?
Besides, Ragon had grown so massive that he couldn’t even stay in the capital anymore.
Right now, he was resting comfortably in the vast plateau known as the ‘Abandoned Lands’.
And even if I did call him, how long would it take for him to get here? It would be hours.
“It’d take at least a few hours for him to arrive.”
“Then call Ombre!”
“Ombre isn’t an offensive type.”
Once he’s fully grown, he’ll survive by feeding on fear and showing illusions in the darkness.
Right now, he has no actual means of attack.
‘Ugh. I should’ve just brought my guards…’
I hadn’t because it would’ve made moving around inconvenient, and my father would have been immediately informed of everything.
That’s why I usually only went out with Han Ji-hyuk.
And besides, I was only here to scout a potential nanny—I never expected this.
I squeezed my eyes shut and regretted my decision.
‘I should’ve listened to Dad…’
Just as we were forced all the way to the end of the alley, Canella stepped forward, pushing past the men.
With a flourish, she crossed her arms and spoke.
“No need to be scared, kids. This is education. Once kids get scolded properly, they learn to behave.”
She tapped her own head lightly as she continued.
“A good cry will teach them to respect adults.”
Keheheh.
Canella smirked like a villain.
A while ago, she had laughed so innocently—now she really looked like a villain.
She was truly two-faced.
“Well, brat, let the grown-ups teach you a lesson, huh?”
Whoosh!
One of the thugs raised his hand toward us.
Seeing his thick, massive hand coming down, I instinctively squeezed my eyes shut.
A fist coming at you triggers a primal fear.
‘Ughhh. If I make it back home, everyone is dead!’
“……”
But something was off.
Nothing happened.
As time passed, the expected impact never came.
What’s going on?
I cautiously relaxed my tensed eyelids and cracked one eye open.
Huh?
The thug’s arm—raised to strike us—was being held back by someone.
A man.
He was just a bit over 170cm tall.
Slim build.
A hat pulled low over his face, hiding his features.
Canella’s eyes widened in shock as she yelled.
“Who the hell are you?!”
The man spoke in a completely unfazed voice.
“They’re just kids. Ganging up on them like this isn’t right.”
“What business is it of yours?! Mind your own damn business and get lost!”
Still expressionless, the man replied.
“You get lost. Stop pissing off random passersby.”
The thugs’ expressions twisted with rage.
“The hell did you just say, you arrogant bastard?!”
The thug who had originally tried to hit us shouted and swung his other fist.
But—
The so-called ‘random passerby’ simply tilted his head slightly, dodging the punch with ease.
“Ohhhhhh!”
“Ohhh…”
Han Ji-hyuk and I watched, eyes wide with admiration.
I almost clapped on instinct.
“You dodged? You slippery little—!”
Another thug lunged forward.
Again, the mysterious man evaded effortlessly—just by stepping back.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
No matter how wildly the thugs swung their fists, the man dodged every attack smoothly and effortlessly.
Their faces turned red with frustration.
They looked like enraged gorillas stomping the ground in fury.
“Damn it, just gang up on him!”
At Canella’s command, the thugs charged him all at once.
But—
‘A random passerby who fights well? That’s a universal rule.’
And as expected, the man handled all five thugs with ease.
When Thug 1 charged from the left—he locked him in a headlock and slammed his elbow down.
Thud!
“Gahhh!”
When Thug 2 lunged from behind—he grabbed his collar and flipped him over.
Wham!
“Ughhh! Pull yourself together, man!”
When Thug 3 attacked from the left—he tripped him and stomped him down.
Crack!
“Bro… avenge me… ugh…”
When Thug 4 rushed from the front—he kicked him straight in the g***n.
Pow!
“AAAGH! How could you do that to another man?!”
And finally—
When Thug 5 and the barely conscious Thug 1 tried to attack from both sides—he grabbed both their heads and slammed them together.
Smash!
“Ughhh….”
“This is… our turf….”
Crash! Bang! Thud!
Just like that, all five thugs collapsed, utterly defeated.
Speed—10 points!
Balance—10 points!
Agility—10 points!
Tens across the board!
“Oooooooh!”
“Ooooooh!”
Clap, clap, clap!
In the end, Han Ji-hyuk and I couldn’t help but applaud.
