The little boy was about seven or eight years old, chubby and cute. But when he bit down, Quinn was in so much pain that she was on the verge of tears.
Quinn shoved the young boy to the ground and grabbed the items he was holding. The child sat down and began to cry.
Another child approached and kicked Quinn, eximing, "Stealing from a child, how shameless!"
Quinn shot the child an angry look, clutching the items in her arms with one hand. She turned to grab the doll from the child''s grasp, but he proved to be elusive, dodging behind Quinn and taunting her by sticking out his tongue. The boy said, "Come and get me."
Quinn turned to grab him again, but the boy ran off once more.
Orion turned around and noticed Quinn being taunted by a child. Feeling a twinge of anger, he hurried over. Before he could reach them, the child snatched the doll and ran off, prompting Quinn to give chase. Orion called, "Quinn!"
Realizing the urgency of the situation, Orion quickly followed them outside. The area was packed with people, making it difficult for Orion to navigate through the crowd. He kept his eyes fixed on Quinn''s back, feeling a mix of anxiety and frustration.
Meanwhile, the young boy continued to taunt Quinn, who was boiling with anger. Gathering her resolve, she chased after the child.
After running for a while, they reached a slightly open area on the street.
The boy taunted, "Come and catch me, you fool!" He turned back and mocked Quinn. She was nearly in tears from anger. However, the boy, too engrossed in teasing Quinn, didn''t pay attention to his footing and tripped, falling t on the ground.
The doll flew out far away, and he started crying loudly.
Quinn paused beside him, taking a moment to catch her breath. She disregarded the child and bent down to pick up the doll. Just as Quinn was about to leave, she suddenly heard the boy on the ground crying for his father. "Boy, what''s the matter?" A slender man hurried over, scooped the child off the ground, and inquired, "Where''s your brother?"
The child was crying loudly, pointing at Quinn and telling his father, "She bullied me!" The man turned to look at Quinn, who was still holding the doll in her hand. Sensing the man''s gaze, she quickly hid the doll behind her, fearful that he might take it away.
The man brushed the dust off the child''s body and noticed a scrape on the child''s palm, instantly feeling angry. He stood up and approached Quinn. Quinn, feeling frightened, continued to step back.

The man shouted, "You''re trying to take things from my son."
