The moment she saw the pattern on the badge, the disdain on her face froze.
Her expression turned to one of pure terror, her face going as pale as paper as she began to tremble uncontrollably.
Her legs shook and gave out, leaving her slumped on the ground.
Cold sweat poured down her skin.
She looked up at Lin Lue, her eyes filled with deep fear.
In that instant, the man before her seemed to tower over her, his presence great enough to crush her like an ant.
“Sir… You are the Space Witch’s…”
Lin Lue made a shushing gesture.
He retrieved the badge from her palm with his fingertips and looked down at her with a smile.
“Do you still wish to bully me?”
The female Law Enforcement Officer shook her head frantically, not even daring to breathe.
If he was a man chosen by a Witch, she should have said so earlier!
She wouldn’t have dared to provoke him!
The other female Enforcers noticed the badge in Lin Lue’s hand as well.
They had originally planned to shamelessly join their colleague and start a “party.”
But now, they were filled with terror and relief.
Instead of stepping forward, they retreated, terrified of being implicated.
None of them were Witches.
They could only act tough in the Lower District.
Facing the Upper District—even if it was just an item belonging to an Upper District Witch—they had to treat it with the utmost respect.
It wasn’t that they had never seen a Witch before; there were Witches in the Lower District, and there were even some in their own department.
However, there were ranks among Witches.

“Sir, and young lady, please have a safe trip.”
Lin Lue pulled Lin Xue’er along as they turned to leave.
Lin Xue’er looked back, glancing at the female Law Enforcement Officer who remained slumped on the ground with a fawning, oily smile.
She then looked at the badge in Lin Lue’s hand.
Lin Xue’er pursed her lips. Witches, power, authority… the things those words represented were being displayed vividly before her.
She… was still very weak.
She wanted power.
And then, she would raise her brother up until he stood above 10,000 people.
“Brother, she was so mean.”
“She certainly was.”
“Brother, do you want me to get rid of her for you?”
Lin Lue paused and looked at Lin Xue’er in surprise.
“What did you say?”
“I’m just joking!”
Lin Xue’er immediately put on an innocent smile and looked up at him.
Her voice was soft and adorable as she swung his large hand back and forth.
“Brother, will you stay by my side forever?”
Lin Lue understood instantly.
‘The little girl’s possessiveness is acting up again.’
His sister was still a sweetheart.
“Of course.”
Lin Lue nodded, smiling as he pinched her small cheek.
“I’m so clumsy and I can’t even cook. If I left you, I’d starve to death. I’ll be counting on Xue’er to take care of me from now on.”
“Mhm! Xue’er will take care of Brother!”
Lin Xue’er nodded vigorously, her voice crisp and loud.
Her declaration caused many passersby to look over.
Some showed expressions of contempt, but after seeing that Lin Lue was male, their expressions turned into ones of understanding.
After all, in this world, men could never become Witches.
They were mostly just toys.
***
Successfully Awakening as a First-Order Witch meant she had achieved her short-term goal.
Today was a school day, and Lin Lue planned to personally walk his sister to school.
His sister was so delicate and cute, like a porcelain doll that would break at the slightest touch.
What if she ran into someone with ill intentions on the way and was kidnapped?
The Lower District was a mixture of all sorts of shady characters, so he had to remind her repeatedly.
“Xue’er, what do you do if you run into those delinquent girls on loud scooters?”
Lin Xue’er’s eyes brightened.
From her small mouth and white teeth, her voice rang out like a bell.
“I know! Brother taught me: ignore them and walk around them. If they keep pestering me, I hit them hard!”
“Never engage in unarmed combat; learn to use tools to subdue them!”
Lin Lue nodded with satisfaction.
He patted his sister’s small head as a reward.
Those delinquents wanted to steal his precious little flower?
Not a chance!
As for men, Lin Lue wasn’t worried.
He had yet to see anyone more handsome than himself.
His sister had a thing for good looks; Lin Lue knew this, and he considered it a good thing.
Lin Lue had always been worried that his sister would be tricked away by some cunning delinquent girl.
However, he had forgotten that he possessed clean, handsome features and a gentle, outstanding temperament.
In this chaotic Lower District, he was the most tempting existence for any woman.
Furthermore, given his status as a man—which most associated with being a “toy”—it meant they wouldn’t have to take responsibility…
This made them even more eager and greedy.
He was the one most likely to be targeted.
***
In a quiet alley, a few broken wooden boards were piled in a corner.
Fat rats scurried about, scaring a small cat into arching its back.
Several young women dressed in gaudy clothes, sporting ear piercings, tongue rings, and tattoos, were all kneeling on the ground.
They clutched their groins, their faces pale with a mixture of fear and resentment.
There was also a strange hint of painful excitement in their eyes.
Lin Lue looked calm as he casually retracted his long leg.
The crotch wasn’t just a man’s weakness; it was a woman’s as well.
“You… How can a man like you be so cruel!”
One of them clutched herself, crying out in pain, her voice trembling violently.
“You were about to jump me, and I’m not allowed to fight back?”
Lin Lue’s tone was flat.
“Being jumped by us is your honor!”
Lin Lue was stunned.
That was an incredible statement.
Lin Lue looked around and whispered to himself, “Where’s my brick?”
These weren’t just ordinary female thugs anymore; he had to hit them hard!
He wanted to use a brick to violently correct the twisted moral values of this group!
In the next second, a small figure flashed past.
With her snow-white stockings fluttering, Lin Xue’er acted like an infuriated lioness.
Without a word, she picked up a brick and smashed it into the woman’s face.
Blood sprayed everywhere!
It stained the brick and the back of her hand.
Lin Xue’er showed no mercy.
With a cold expression, she raised the brick again, aiming the sharp edge at the face of the howling woman, prepared to strike once more.
“Xue’er, stop!”
Lin Lue rushed forward to grab her wrist.
He hugged Lin Xue’er, trying to take the brick from her hand.
The opponent was just an ordinary person.
If she hit her at that angle, someone would die.
The aftermath would be a massive headache.
However… the way his sister protected him was incredibly cool.
Lin Lue felt a wave of emotion as he looked at the little girl who was furious on his behalf.
‘Soft rice is truly delicious.’
Suddenly, a sharp gust of wind surged toward them!
Lin Lue reacted instantly, immediately pulling Lin Xue’er back into a retreat.
A sharp steel pipe whistled through the air and slammed into the nearby wall, its end vibrating violently with a low humming sound.
Lin Xue’er’s pupils shrank.
If Lin Lue hadn’t pulled her away just then, she might have…
She looked toward the entrance of the alley with a dark expression.
The sound of crisp footsteps echoed.
A girl with wavy green hair walked over slowly.
Her golden pupils were sharp and piercing, and she carried a powerful aura.
She wore a tight black dress with many cutouts, revealing her navel and slender shoulders.
Her body swayed as she walked, like a black lotus trembling in the wind.
“Who is bullying my people?”
“Big Sister!”
The person on the ground clutching her bloody face crawled toward the girl’s legs, wailing for help.
The other delinquents also cried out to her for rescue.
The green-haired girl’s gaze swept over the scene, finally landing on Lin Lue.
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
“What a handsome older brother.”
Lin Xue’er stepped in front of Lin Lue with a expressionless face.
Her small body formed a defensive line like a bristling kitten hissing at a threat.
“He is my brother. Wen Yaxin, what do you want?”
“Keep your filthy eyes to yourself!”
“Oh, so it’s Lin Xue’er’s brother.”
Wen Yaxin smiled meaningfully.
Her gaze became direct, more aggressive, and even more… excited.
She licked her lips with her red tongue and breathed out hot air.
A blush appeared on her cheeks, looking both provocative and flushed.
“That’s even better.”
“Classmate Lin Xue’er can just watch from the side.”
Lin Lue was confused.
‘What kind of ridiculous statement is that?’
“Brother, do you want to have some fun with me?”
Wen Yaxin reached out, attempting to touch Lin Lue.
Lin Lue shifted to the side to dodge her, his rejection clear in his eyes.
The girl wasn’t disappointed to see her hand meet empty air; instead, her eyes grew even brighter.
“That look of disgust… it’s delicious.”
“I like toys that are lively. Those that don’t resist are boring.”
“I have never failed to get something I’ve set my sights on.”
“Your life must be pretty tough, right?”
She pulled a thick stack of bills from beneath her skirt, waved them casually in her hand, and then stuffed them into the cleavage of her well-endowed chest.
“Do you want it? If you want it, come and get it.”
“As long as you take it, it belongs to you.”
Lin Lue felt a bit overwhelmed.
Did all teenage girls these days have some kind of mental issue?
Before Lin Lue could move, Lin Xue’er snatched the stack of money.
She even took the opportunity to slap Wen Yaxin’s chest hard, her movements swift and decisive.
“Thanks.”
She stuffed the money into Lin Lue’s hand and looked up at him.
“Brother, are you happy with this free money?”
Lin Lue blinked and couldn’t help but laugh.
“I’m happy.”
“Lin Xue’er! You’ve gone too far!”
Wen Yaxin rubbed her chest.
The physical pain and the mental humiliation made her face turn green with rage.
Lin Xue’er showed no emotion as she picked up the brick again.
“You dare to target my brother? Taste my brick!”
She raised the brick, aiming it at the other girl’s eye socket, and was about to hurl it.
Lin Lue quickly grabbed her hand and soothed her softly, “Xue’er, stay calm!”
“Brother, she isn’t just an ordinary bad woman anymore.”
Lin Xue’er looked at him seriously, her words clear and determined:
“I must… punch her hard!”
