Pfft!
Hearing Eva’s words, Leon nearly spat out the mouthful of coffee in his mouth.
No no, better not, please leave this child a way to survive!
At that moment, Donald, who had pretended to go to the restroom, returned.
The moment he saw the tearful expression on Leon’s face, he instantly understood everything.
After glancing at the computer behind the counter, he said, “Oh, we just received a delivery order.
Leon, hurry and go deliver it.”
“Okay, I’m going right now!”
As if grabbing onto a lifesaving straw, Leon snatched the delivery and immediately rushed out the door.
Only after running several steps did he wipe the sweat from his forehead in lingering fear.
He was wrong.
He absolutely could not handle this rich lady who loved making dark cuisine coffee.
Being a pretty boy was fine, but being a lab rat was not so easy!
Leon lowered his head and glanced at the delivery in his hands.
Six cups of coffee.
The delivery address was not far from here, just an office building two streets away.
So he decided to walk there, but just as he passed an intersection, a woman’s scream sounded not far away.
“Thief!!
He stole my bag!”
A masked man could be seen fleeing in panic ahead, and in his hand was a Chanel handbag.
At the same time, the Digivice in Leon’s arms suddenly vibrated.
The Missions function was currently flashing nonstop.
[Side Mission Started]
[Side Mission: Uphold Justice: Catch the Escaping Thief]
[Mission Reward: DigiGoggles]
Goggles?
A surprised expression appeared in Leon’s eyes.
As a piece of protective equipment, goggles were generally used to shield against strong light, wind, sand, and water.
But in the Digimon World, they held a different meaning.
Because goggles were the symbol of every generation’s protagonist, and also represented their protagonist aura!
The first-generation protagonist, Yagami Taichi, had a handsome pair of goggles.
When Taichi learned that his will’s successor was the second-generation protagonist Motomiya Daisuke, he gave his goggles to him.
By the third series, when Takato became Guilmon’s Tamer, he also found a pair of goggles from beneath his desk and put them on himself…
Until the end of the sixth series, Taiki handed his goggles to Akashi Tagiru and spoke that classic line—
“Heroes need goggles.”
Therefore, “goggles” were the symbol of heroes, passed down from protagonist to protagonist!
However, Masaru Daimon refused to accept this.
Even without goggles, he could still punch Yggdrasil and kick the Royal Knights!
Thinking this, Leon’s expression became serious.
As a man possessing the Digimon System, he naturally should also have a pair of goggles belonging to himself!
Thus Leon walked toward a bench by the roadside.
Sitting on the bench was a little boy around seven or eight years old.
“Little friend, can you help big brother with something?” Leon asked.
“What is it?” the little boy asked while poking a small black spider on the bench with a tree branch in his hand.
“Big brother is going to chase a bad guy.
Help me watch my coffee, and when I come back I’ll buy you ice cream.”
Leon said with a serious expression as he placed the coffee beside the little boy.
“Okay, uncle.” Hearing there would be ice cream, the little boy’s face instantly blossomed with joy.
And hearing the word “uncle” nearly caused Leon to throw out his back, but he still quickened his pace toward the thief who had not yet run far away.
Not long after Leon left, a middle-aged man smiling warmly walked over.
“Peter, let’s go.
Your Aunt May is still waiting for us at the amusement park.”
“Wow, the amusement park!”
The little boy’s eyes instantly lit up upon hearing this.
Raising both hands, he suddenly jumped off the bench and ran while shouting “amusement park”, completely forgetting about the coffee on the bench.
The middle-aged man smiled while watching the little boy run off the bench,
but in the next second, he hurriedly tried to pull him back because the little fellow had already run into the middle of the road!There were many fast-moving vehicles around.
The middle-aged man anxiously chased after the little boy.
“Wait, don’t run—”
“Don’t run!”
At the same time, Leon was also loudly shouting within an alley.
He had been closely chasing after the thief the entire way, but the other party’s speed was faster than he expected, always maintaining a certain distance from him.
Under these circumstances, losing focus for even a moment could easily cause him to lose track of the target.
Being continuously chased by Leon, the thief panicked and rushed into a corner.
Not far ahead was an iron gate four or five meters tall, completely blocking his path.
“Hehe, now you can’t run anymore!”
Leon also caught up at this moment.
Seeing the tall iron gate before him, he supported himself on his knees while catching his breath and proudly laughed.
“Hmph!”
The thief glanced back at Leon.
Just when Leon thought he would surrender obediently, the thief suddenly let out a sneer.
Immediately afterward, he actually grabbed the exposed iron wires on the wall corner with both hands, stepped against the wall in two or three quick movements, borrowed the momentum to climb over the gate, and flipped over to the other side with a waist twist!
???
Leon instantly stared dumbfounded.
Damn it, possessed by Jackie Chan?
After flipping over, the thief even turned back to give him the middle finger, his face full of smugness as if mocking him: “What now, little punk?
Can’t do it anymore?”
Damn it, so infuriating!
Leon angrily scratched his hair.
In a fit of anger, he also ran over and tried it himself, only to discover his body was far too clumsy.
Forget climbing over—even kicking off the wall was difficult…
Farewell!
Seeing the thief running farther and farther away, about to disappear from his sight,
Leon suddenly thought of something.
He hurriedly took out the Digivice and opened the Map function.
Mirei Mikagura seemed to have told him that when a mission started, the Digimon System’s map could be used.
Which meant…
At this moment, the Digivice map displayed the surrounding streets and buildings, as well as a blue light point representing himself and a red light point representing the thief, both continuously flashing.
“Oh hohoho…”
Leon looked toward the distant red light point, revealing a sinister expression.
“You little brat, you can’t escape this time!”
Tap!
Tap!
Tap!
Within the silent alleyway, a masked figure was sprinting.
With one large stride forward, he swiftly jumped from one rooftop to the next rooftop, then grabbed onto a water pipe and flipped around, using the pipe’s momentum to propel himself forward.
In one breath, he vaulted over four or five trash cans and steadily landed on the ground, not forgetting to strike a pose.
Agile and handsome.
Only after he could no longer see anyone behind him did he slowly stop running.
These days, being a thief was not easy.
Besides running fast, one also needed a unique skill.
Back then, he had originally practiced parkour, but later he borrowed loan shark money and ended up buried in debt.
With no other options left, he embarked upon this criminal path.
After so many years in the business, he had rarely ever failed.
Especially in Queens, which he was extremely familiar with.
Relying on his exceptional parkour skills, he could successfully escape every time.
“Hoo.”
The thief let out a sigh of relief.
Arriving at a deserted corner, he impatiently wanted to open the bag and see whether there was anything valuable inside.
After all, this was Chanel.
The owner of this bag should not be poor.
But after only one glance, he froze.
There was a Chanel logo on the bag—CHANNEL
Huh?
Why was there an extra “N”?
In the next second, he suddenly reacted.
Fuck!
After all this, it turned out to be a fake?!
Just as the thief was furious, a ghostlike voice suddenly came from behind him.
“I found you~~”
He violently twisted his head around, nearly snapping his neck.
On a high place behind him stood a handsome blond figure, standing there against the light.
In the next moment, that figure leaped downward and threw a punch directly toward the thief!
“Justice from the heavens!”
Bang!
The thief was knocked down with one punch, and the bag in his hand instantly flew out.
Lying on the ground, his vision spun as his face filled with disbelief.
“You sure can run.”
Leon picked up the bag from the ground and stepped on the other party’s chest with one foot.
“Y-You… how did you find me?” The thief shook his head, still looking somewhat dizzy.
“Heh heh.”
Leon crossed his arms and sneered.
“I’ve got cheats.”
