Chapter 264
"Ah! The fawn is injured!" Fiona, who ran ahead of Heidi, gasped and clamored.
"Really… Ah, it's hurt!" Heidi followed Fiona and saw that the fawn was bleeding. She called out in shock.
Looking at his daughter, Jacob said softly, "It's okay, it's just a small injury. Daddy will heal it."
"Hey, did you hear what I said!? The fawn belongs to us. You can't touch it!" A tall young man bellowed furiously while moving from the back to the front of the group.
The two little girls were intimidated by him. They quickly hid behind Jacob.
"Haha! I shot it first! All of you are losers!"
"Dam*! I found it first!"
"That's because I let you take the shot first. You wouldn't have the chance if I made the move first!"
They talked among themselves while the rest of them retreated to the side of the woods.
Looking at the feather arrow in Jacob's hand, Moira raised her eyebrow and reprimanded in her soft voice, "You could've killed someone with that arrow! Didn't you notice that someone was standing beside the fawn?"
"Yo! It's a beautiful girl!" A young man with an ear stud blew a lewd whistle at Moira.
Jacob's brows snapped together, seeing that young man disrespected Moira.
Except for the two young men who looked like bodyguards, from the clothing and demeanor of the other five poachers, it was quite apparent that they were born and raised with a silver spoon.
It would only make sense that these poachers were from wealthy and entitled families who thought they could operate above the law because no ordinary people would go to a children's park to hunt with bows and arrows.
However, it was unfortunate that they had offended the wrong person today.
With his expression dulled, Jacob bent down and carefully carried the fawn off the ground.
The fawn didn't move as if it permitted Jacob to hold it. Its eyes glistened with tears while bleating sorrowfully at the doe that was held captive on one of the bodyguards' shoulders.
Following the fawn's sight, the two little girls noticed that the doe had lost vitality. It had died.
Fiona pointed her fair and stubby finger at them and yelled, "All of you are bad people!"
"Fiona!" Keysha dashed forward and held back her daughter's pointing finger, "No, Fiona! It's impolite to point at people."
"But..." Fiona pouted aggrievedly.
"I mean it." Keysha steadied her stature and raised her voice a little.
After a pause, she raised her head to look at the group of people, "I'm sorry, please forgive her. She's a
child and doesn't know much."
"It's okay. Not at all!" One of the long-haired girls responded and asked Fiona and Heidi, "What is your name, cutie pies?"
Heidi glanced at Fiona. In her baby voice, she braved herself and rebuked them, "You are bad people!"
Everyone was stunned. The air came to a still. One of the male poachers glowered and warned, "What a daring kid she is!"
Jacob looked at him with a hint of hostility in his eyes. The atmosphere had become even more tense. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"Why do I feel a chill all of a sudden?" A round-faced and petite woman murmured while rubbing her arms with her palms.
Out of the blue, the bodyguard who was carrying the doe on his shoulders shrugged and threw the doe aside. He quickly came between Jacob and the poachers. He wanted to protect the group of poachers from Jacob.
He stared at Jacob with his head and upper body lowered and tense as if Jacob was an intimidating match.
The tall poacher frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you, Kento? Are you crazy?"
"Mr. Mahen, this guy is showing killing intent!" The bodyguard looked at him and said respectfully.
Killing intent?
The three male poachers were astounded when they heard the words. They then looked at the bow and arrows in their hands and shrugged with disdain on their faces.
Don't fret. He's showing killing intent, but we have weapons in our hands!
