After calming Felicia down a bit, I took out my phone and let her make a call to her mother.

Riley stayed with the still-shaken Felicia, waiting quietly.

During the brief exchange, Riley quickly learned the whole story from Felicia.

So when Sheriff George personally led his team to this alley.

Seeing that Felicia was clearly traumatized by the incident, even when she was forced to smile at Sheriff George, she still shrank behind Riley in fear. Riley then spoke on Felicia's behalf and briefly described what had happened to Sheriff George.

Of course, Sheriff George could also see that the last few henchmen who fell to the ground, though they seemed to have suffered greatly, had only been shot in the flesh without hitting the bone.

To achieve this requires exceptional marksmanship. It's not as simple as Riley claimed, that the gang leader's marksmanship was so poor that he missed a single shot while repeatedly hitting friendly forces.

Not to mention the tragic end of gang leaders...

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like the result of someone losing their footing and accidentally stepping on something.

This made Sheriff George secretly click his tongue, marveling at how ruthless Riley was when dealing with scum and beasts.

As for Riley's actions, will he be charged with excessive self-defense and face some form of punishment...?

Firstly, only the gang leader's fingerprints can be detected on this handgun.

Secondly, gun control in the United States is not as strict as in China. Furthermore, strictly speaking, even if Riley admitted to firing the gun in the face of the extremely serious and heinous crime of kidnapping a minor and attempting to assault her, it would still fall within the scope of acting in the best interests of the people and would not be considered illegal.

So, with the idea that it's better to avoid trouble, Sheriff George gave Riley a disapproving look and warned this silly boy who was always standing up for others that next time he encountered such a dangerous situation, he should call his uncle, the sheriff, instead of foolishly rushing in alone.

Like Riley, Sheriff George, sympathetic to the plight of Felicia and her daughter, tacitly accepted Riley's account. The gang leader was charged with kidnapping a minor, attempted assault of a minor, and assaulting someone with a gun in the street.

In the United States, any one of these crimes, taken individually, carries a severe penalty.

Thus, there was conclusive evidence, coupled with eyewitness testimony...

No matter how skilled this gang leader is at sophistry, with multiple crimes combined, he will have to obediently go to prison and spend the rest of his life there.

This was Riley's true target—the one he could have easily dealt with with his fists and feet, yet he chose to risk excessive self-defense by shooting at them.

After all, Riley isn't some kind of devil.

After all that, he ensured that the gang leader's future was secure, living a comfortable life with food and lodging provided, free from the elements. What a kind person he was!

Clearly, in Riley's view...

Rather than gambling that such people will learn their lesson after suffering a loss, it's better to stay away from this poor mother and daughter...

It would be better to use some methods to solve the problem once and for all.

So that Felicia and her daughter would no longer have to live in fear and worry about being harassed by this beast one day.

You can finally relax completely and start a new life in New York City.

Shortly after, Felicia's mother also rushed to the scene in a panic.

Confirming that her beloved daughter had only been frightened and had not suffered any real harm, Felicia's mother breathed a sigh of relief and, putting aside her airs as an elder, sincerely thanked Riley repeatedly.

Then, at Sheriff George's invitation, they went to the police station to give their statements.

However, after accompanying Felicia to give her statement, just as he was about to find Riley to express his gratitude by treating him to dinner and slipping him some money, he learned from other officers that Riley, who frequently came to the NYPD to stand up for others, was as familiar with the NYPD as if it were his home.

Because of this, without the police officers needing to remind him of anything, Riley quickly recorded his statement during the fluent conversation and returned to school ahead of time.

This left the mother and daughter looking at each other in bewilderment, and their impression of Riley undoubtedly improved by several levels.

This also meant that after Felicia returned to school, she didn't need her mother to remind her anything; she immediately started asking around about Riley.

Then, like other girls who were experiencing the stirrings of first love, she mustered up the courage to try and confess her feelings to Riley.

To Felicia's utter surprise, Riley refused without even a second thought.

What else can be said? Felicia has simply misunderstood her gratitude towards her savior as liking him.

Rather than recklessly placing the most beautiful first love of her life on someone she doesn't even know.

Instead, focus your mind on your studies. When you grow up and understand what true love is, you'll naturally meet someone better than Riley, someone you'd want to spend your life with.

It would be more appropriate to express your love to the other person at that time.

At first, Felicia was deeply shocked to hear these words.

She even once thought that she was actually very ugly, and that the gang leader only took a liking to her because of his unique taste.

Otherwise, how could Riley's eyes be so clear and without any impure thoughts when facing his confession!

Even though they were about the same age, Felicia always felt as if she were facing an adult of her uncle's generation!

It wasn't until later, through secret observation, that Riley discovered he treated every girl who confessed her feelings the same way. Especially the girls he'd helped; they all used the same excuse.

And because Riley had helped so many people, she had no intention of expecting anything in return, nor did she bother to remember the girls' names. This sometimes led to her being unable to answer when asked, which made her feel somewhat embarrassed.

Felicia's heart gradually found some balance. She knew that Riley's words came from the bottom of his heart; he wanted these impulsive girls to have a better life, and it had nothing to do with whether he liked them or not.

And it was because of this that Felicia's hope was rekindled.

Since you, Riley, said that when you grow up and know what liking someone means, you'll be able to express your love to the person you like...

That means...

Once we're in university, we'll both be adults and able to take responsibility for our words and actions. Then you'll seriously consider whether or not to accept my confession.

Therefore, in the period that followed, in order to get into the same university as Riley, Felicia, who, like most young people, had some aversion to studying, began to study hard. With her already bright mind, her ranking in school began to rise rapidly.

Felicia thought her life would continue peacefully like this. That is, until she stepped onto the university campus and launched a new offensive against Riley.

A man named Kingpin suddenly approached Felicia.

And along with that came Felicia's biological father, whom she hadn't seen for many years and who only left a vague impression on her from her childhood memories.

Walter Hardy.
