Chapter 402 Courage is the Hymn of Humanity
"Waaah... Ugh...?"
It is said that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.
After overcoming the initial fear, the child gradually stopped crying as he sensed the kindness emanating from the large man in front of him.
She sniffed hard, subconsciously raised her head and widened her eyes, curiously examining the large figure in front of her, which inexplicably made her feel safe.
She even reached out her little hand and, with the Iron Monger's cooperation and indulgence, touched the Iron Monger's mask.
The hard texture of the metal carries a slight coolness.
But after a brief encounter, she realized that the big guy in front of her was not as scary as it looked on the surface.
After calming the little girl down, Iron Monger slowly stood up, his movements incredibly steady, making sure the little girl in his palm wouldn't feel any jolting.
It looked around, its sensors scanning the chaotic crowd.
Then it saw it.
Thirty meters away, a young couple was rushing towards them like madmen.
The mother's blond hair was disheveled, her face was bloodless, and her lips trembled as she called out her daughter's name.
The father's veins bulged, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hands were clenched into fists.
It was a pointless fighting stance, but it was the most instinctive reaction of a parent.
They saw the Iron Monger, and they also saw its daughter in its palm.
Despair and anger intertwined on the parents' faces.
The mother screamed, "Let her go! Let go of my daughter—!"
At the same time, the father secretly increased his speed and rushed towards the Iron Tyrant without regard for anything else.
Even just looking at it was enough to convince him that he was no match for the metal monster in front of him, but he didn't hesitate at all!
His suit was torn while running, and he lost one of his shoes.
But he didn't care at all.
At this moment, all he could see was his daughter, and that tiny figure being "grabbed" by the metal giant.
"You monster! What kind of skill is it to bully a child! Come at me if you dare! Give me back my daughter—!!!!!"
He roared, his voice ripped apart by fear and rage.
The next second...!
After finally rushing to Iron Tyrant's side, his father mustered all his strength and punched Iron Tyrant's body...!
Clutching his rapidly swelling hand, he instantly channeled Tom Cat's spirit, jumping and hopping around in pain!
Clearly, without the protagonist's halo, even though the father was eager to save his daughter, he ultimately failed to pull off the amazing scene of using his mortal body to punch the Iron Monger to death!
Throughout the entire process, the Iron Monger neither retreated, nor defended, nor retaliated.
It just watched quietly.
He then knelt on one knee, once again adopting the least threatening posture. He lowered his palm to waist level with an adult, and then slowly extended it forward, offering the little one in his palm to the father.
The little girl saw the familiar figure, and her eyes immediately lit up. Calling out in her sweet, childish voice, she eagerly reached out to her father for a hug: "Mommy! Daddy!"
Iron Monarch tilted his hand slightly so that she could slide smoothly into her father's arms.
At the same time, the young father, after a brief moment of shock, ignored the excruciating pain in his hand and quickly hugged his daughter tightly. Tears welled up instantly, and his body trembled violently from the lingering fear.
The mother, who arrived shortly after, spread her arms wide. Trying to appear calm, she stood protectively in front of the father and daughter, like a mother hen guarding her chicks.
Although she had witnessed Iron Monger's every move, she couldn't help but remain wary and cautious of this unknown behemoth before her. Her clenched fist visibly loosened slightly.
Ignoring the hostility emanating from his mother, Iron Monger slowly stood up, his visual sensor giving one last glance to the tightly embracing family of three.
Then he turned around and, under the complex gazes of the family of three and the surrounding crowd, continued walking in the direction Sitwell had fled.
Its steps remain heavy.
But from that moment on, the onlookers suddenly felt...
This metal monster doesn't seem so scary anymore.
