Chapter 233: Do You have Any Evidence?
What is the most important thing about being a thief?
Is it the skill of moving silently and leaping over roofs and walls?
Is it the skill of stealing treasures from various treasure vaults and even from other people’s pockets?
Or is it the skill of using a dagger to take the life of an enemy before they can react?
Neither.
The correct answer is— eyesight!
The ability to see who has money and who does not. The ability to see all kinds of traps. And the ability to see who is not to be trifled with and how to deal with these people.
This is the skill that a thief needs to learn the most.
Obviously, Crow has mastered this skill. Without any hesitation, she immediately handed out the dagger in her hand and did it without any tricks.
The dagger lay flat on her palm, with the handle pointed at Mike and the blade pointed at her.
It was a smart move, and she sent a clear message to Mike — ‘here’s the thing, I just want to live.’
Mike was very satisfied with it.
He put his hand on Crow’s hand and took back his dagger.
Looking at the black dagger in his hand, Mike was also somewhat interested.
After all, this was the first time he had seen the Umbrella of Meredith transform into a dagger.
Unfortunately, he was not in the game now. Without the help of the game system, Mike could not see the attributes of this dagger.
Without a doubt, one could tell that the dagger must be very strong.
The next moment, the dagger in Mike’s hand returned to the shape of a greatsword.
Then, Mike threw the greatsword at Timus. Timus easily and accurately caught the greatsword.
This scene also looked very strange. A huge and somewhat exaggerated greatsword in their hands was being handled like a toy that was thrown back and forth.
No matter who it was, from this point, it could be seen that the strength of these two fellows could not be underestimated.
“Can I leave now?” Crow spoke.
Her voice was still the same as before. It sounded somewhat neutral, but it gave off a very clean feeling. There was even a sickly sense of weakness.
Mike’s eyes stared straight at this elven woman.
She had short hair, dark green eyes, and an ice-cold expression. From an unrelated point of view, she was naturally good-looking. After all, she was elven.
From a temperament point of view, she was an out-and-out thief.
This ice-cold temperament was even somewhat like that of a killer.
Mike looked at her and smiled playfully, “What if I go back on my word?”
This sentence sounded like a joke, but it was not so funny to Crow. However, Crow’s expression did not change at all.
She only opened her mouth slightly and said in a calm tone, “Then I have no choice. I’m not your opponent.”
“So, even if I shamelessly put forward a new life-buying request, you can still accept it, right?”
“Tell me about it.” Crow used a short answer to express her compromise. She really had no choice.
“Let’s talk about this later. Tomorrow morning, we’ll meet at the tavern in the Ancient City of Life.”
Mike winked at Crow in Jess’ blind spot, indicating that now was not the time to talk.
Crow hesitated for a moment, but did not leave immediately.
A moment later, she raised a question. “Aren’t you afraid that I won’t come to the meet-up?”
Mike smiled slightly and did not answer her question directly, “You can try.”
The smile on his face was very confident and Crow burned it to the back of her mind. She planned to leave this place directly and go to the pub to meet him tomorrow morning.
Crow was a thief and she had her own vision. She knew that this man did not seem to be toying with her. He could be seen as someone who was very powerful and not to be messed with.
In order to survive, she could only do as she was told.
However, just as she was about to leave the room, a figure blocked her way.
“Stop, you can’t leave yet.
“You are suspected of stealing in the Ancient City of Life. I must bring you back to the Public Security Office for interrogation!”
The young guard quarreled, as he tried to stop Crow from leaving.
He had originally planned to catch these thieves. How could he let Crow go so easily?
However, Crow’s eyesight came into play once again. She turned to look at Mike, then turned to face the guard in front of her. She looked him straight in the eyes and said, “You saw it just now. I returned the item to him.
“Is it illegal to pick up something on the road and return it to the owner?”
Jess was slightly stunned when he heard that. Then, he raised his voice and said, “What do you mean by picking something up! You’re obviously stealing!”
“Do you have evidence?” Crow’s tone was still calm.
“Of course I have evidence. The two of them are witnesses!”
Jess pointed at Mike and Timus angrily.
Previously, it was the two of them who said that their things had been stolen. Now that the witnesses and physical evidence were all there, this female thief obviously had no chance of getting away with it!
“I’m sorry, Sir Guard.”
“I think I might have remembered wrongly. My things were not stolen, but lost.”
“Thanks to this kind elven lady, she successfully helped me find what I wanted. I suggest you give her a good citizen award from the Ancient City of Life.”
Mike said a bunch of lies in all seriousness.
Jess shook in his place, shocked.
“You clearly didn’t say that before!”
“Yes, so didn’t I say it just now? I might have remembered wrongly.”
Mike shrugged and spread his hands, and looked as if he did not care.
Jess did not know how to refute his statement anymore. Who would have thought that the witness and victim would actually collude with each other and stand on the same side!
“You! You’re covering up something!”
The young guard felt angry and helpless.
However, Mike stretched out his hand and wagged his finger. “Do you have evidence? I seriously suspect that you’re slandering me. If my reputation is damaged by your words, I can totally ask you for compensation.”
And again Jess did not know how to refute.
Timus, who was behind Mike, had already turned his face away as he listened in on the conversation. He covered his mouth and laughed nonstop. His shoulders trembled from his sneaky laughter.
Jess’s eye’s turned from Mike to Timus, and then finally locked on to the female thief in front of him. He racked his brain to come up with the last reason.
“Okay! Even if you picked up his lost items this time!
“Then what about the previous cases?”
“As a member of the Thieves Union, have you never stolen anything?”
The young Jess stared at Crow with challenging eyes, he wanted to see traces of panic on Crow’s face.
However, Crow still maintained her cold and calm expression, she also maintained her cold and calm tone, “Do you have proof?”
“…”
