"Haha, finally so good days ahead."
The young man couldn’t help but relish the promising future.
For so unknown reason.
In the past, a large portion of the stolen money would be intercepted by gang mbers.
But lately, for so reason, many gang mbers have been acting mysteriously.
No longer as blatant as before.
He couldn’t figure out why.
But no matter what, it’s a good thing.
"Just save so more money during this ti, then take Anlisa away from here."
He thought as he stuffed the money bag into his pocket.
Walking along the street at night, amidst the brightly lit roads, he looked around searching for his next target.
Quickly, he spotted them.
It was a man and a woman.
Strolling leisurely, looking around like tourists, clearly not locals.
This kind of people are the easiest to target.
He smiled as he started to look for an opportunity nearby.
Soon a small crowd ford, bustling and moving around.
He quickly hunched over and walked in.
Unintentionally bumping into the two.
"Oops, sorry, pardon ."
The man helped him up: "Be careful."
"Thank you!" The young man quickly got up and then swiftly fled into the crowd.
The woman wanted to chase after him.
But was held back.
Kana said, "It’s alright, let him go."
Alyris looked at Kana: "But, Your Highness."
Kana smiled: "We’ll follow him slowly."
Alyris didn’t understand why Kana suddenly showed interest in a thief, but since he said so.
She followed behind Kana, beginning to trail the young man.
The young man hurriedly dashed through the crowd.
Arriving at a rather dark corner.
He opened the heavy money bag.
Staring at the money inside, he quickly packed it up.
His expression turned sowhat terrified, and his breathing grew heavy.
Too much.
Inside were all gold coins.
Not a single silver coin.
Judging by weight, at least twenty or thirty gold.
What’s the concept? The young man’s mind was already blurry; he had no idea how to process this.
When the stolen money was excessive, there was no joy, only fear.
"Should I return it?" "Should I return it?"
The phrase echoed rapidly in his mind.
The more it echoed, the weaker his breathing beca, his heart feeling tightly squeezed.
Too much.
If he returned it.
Would he be beaten to death?
He wasn’t an idiot; carrying this amount of money, the man he just bumped into must be soone in a high position.
Finished.
Only this thought lingered in his heart.
The excessive money suppressed his greed.
He tremblingly gritted his teeth.
Slamming the money bag into his chest, hiding it on himself.
Raced towards his ho without stopping.
He decided to quickly take his sister away from here.
As long as they left the city, maybe they wouldn’t be discovered.
Go to other places.
To Golden Wheat City, to Sandport Harbor, even leave the Cohen Kingdom.
As long as they leave, maybe they could survive.
If they survive, having so much money.
Thinking this, he felt a bit relieved.
As he rushed into the slums.
Kept running.
Running, he seed to realize sothing amiss.
"What’s going on? Why are there so few people?"
He couldn’t understand.
Since when were the slums so quiet at night?
Just now his emotions were too tangled and excited, making him overlook this, but the current situation puzzled him.
A faint sll of blood erged in the air among the stench.
Unknown when the stench of the slums beca so severe too.
He felt an increasingly bad premonition.
Quickened his pace towards his ho.
Distant faint firelight appeared.
"No, no!"
As he turned the corner and saw the scene before him, his eyes widened in a daze.
A large area of houses in front was engulfed in flas.
A group was doing sothing crazy.
He saw several corpses lying on the ground, the sll of blood spreading everywhere.
So even hung the bodies up, dangling from the eaves, being scorched by fire, with the suspended bodies seemingly still alive, screaming madly.
Within those blue houses was his ho.
"Ah!"
Several sharp screams.
He heard his sister among the screams.
"Anlisa!" He shouted, rushing over.
"Haha, here’s another brat!"
A gang mber kicked the young boy to the ground, imdiately restraining him.
"Let go, what do you want?!"
"Madn, you’re all mad!"
Chaos surrounded him.
The young man tried to struggle up; he had already seen his sister.
But he was knocked to the ground with a punch.
"Stop! Stop it!"
But now he was completely immobilized.
"I have money, I’ll give you money! Let Anlisa go!"
"Haha, he says he has money?" Nearby thugs couldn’t help but laugh.
"It’s right in my pocket."
One thug really reached over to feel, pulling out two bags.
Frightened by the contents they saw.
"He really does!"
"In that case, hang him and his sister in the most obvious spot!"
Done.
Only this voice resonated in the young man’s mind.
"Will soone save us?"
