“Heh! And he said he'd just pick up some shiny stuff, though,
he still can't be allowed to move on his own,”
UI YONG JIANG chuckled softly when he heard the woman say that every glittering item in the treasury had disappeared.
He still could not understand why Void liked things so much that sparkled, but there was no point in bothering
asking now. All he could hope for was to be able to control it as they headed for the new continent.
From his interactions with SIAN LI, it was easy to conclude that they had knowledge of space elements.
Compared to a place where they could go berserk without being caught, they had to walk in a thin line there.
While UI YONG JIANG was thinking of a way to control the Void, he suddenly heard a shout.
“It's gone! My necklace, it's the only thing I took from my family, now it's gone!” The woman ran out of the Mayor's house to tell him
The mayor about what was stolen shouted with his hands touching his neck, seemingly trying to sense something.
“What do you mean .. Impossible! How can it just disappear?” The mayor who was about to deny the woman took a step back in surprise.
She remembered seeing the necklace on the woman earlier today, even when she came out to report the items
the one lost in the treasury, he still saw it. It was too shiny not to notice it, especially during the day.
“The thief is here, surround them!” The Mayor's orders while pointing towards the crowd.
The confused crowd stood still as the guards surrounded them. They are still trying to process what happened.
“But we came here to complain about thieves, why are you treating us like thieves?” A man asked angrily.
“My treasury was almost erased when you guys came here for ‘moved’. How I'm not sure
this is all a hoax by you guys to steal from me?” The Mayor said while pointing at the man who had just spoken up.
“What?!”
The crowd started to quarrel with the Mayor, especially those who were robbed by UI YONG JIANG and Void. They came here to report,
but now they are the ones accused of conspiring with thieves. Accusations like that! There's no way they're gonna think it's a lie.
While all this was happening, UI YONG JIANG had slipped away from the crowd as he realized Void had stolen the woman's necklace. Although he
able to easily escape, he was not prepared to be in a difficult situation if anyone accidentally recognized him.
“I thought you said you'd only take part?” UI YONG JIANG transmitted his voice to a Void that was nowhere to be seen.
“I don't take everything, I just take the most important. Before I left, I heard the guards saying that they were
will report that everything has been stolen, and save the rest for themselves,’ Void voice echoed in UI YONG JIANG's head.
‘Oh, so that's what happened,’ UI YONG JIANG said in awareness.
‘Well, after I heard them say that, I decided to take it all because they would blame me. I will not feel
glad if I hear that I stole everything when I obviously did not take up to half of the stuff, ‘ explained Void.
‘You really have a point. But, why did you steal that woman's necklace?’ UI YONG JIANG could not help but ask.
‘Just be fair, let's go,’ UI YONG JIANG said as he headed for the city gate.
‘Are we not going to see that old man again?’ Void asked in a hurry.
‘No need, I already have more than I need. Also, I can't take you there because of your personality,” UI YONG JIANG replied.
‘What personality? I'm a good cat! Hmph!’ Void snorted coldly.
‘Heh! So you think, ask the woman there if she would agree with you,’ UI YONG JIANG said sarcastically.
‘Of course he will!’ Void said confidently.
‘Yes,
‘As if he would believe me,’ Void rolled her eyes.
‘You don't need to talk much, as long as they know you can talk, you will definitely be arrested and tempted,’ UI YONG JIANG said mockingly.
‘Omong empty! They will love me,” argued Void.
UI YONG JIANG shrugged before pointing at a group of guards on the side of the road, ‘Why don't you try it first and see what happens?’
‘Good, watch over me,’ Void leaped down from the shoulder of UI YONG JIANG, walking gracefully towards a group of eight people who were talking on the side of the road.
“I think that person is very strong, I mean, it is impossible to rob so many people in one night,” said a young woman while shrugging.
“We all know the guy is strong, didn't you hear that even the Mayor's treasury was robbed not long ago?” A young man said.
“What?!”
The rest of the group exclaimed in shock.
Seeing the expression on the faces of others, the young man smiled because he knew only he knew the news.
“That's impossible, isn't the Mayor's treasury said to be the most guarded place in the city?” Another young man asked.
“Indeed, but this guy stole so easily from them without anyone knowing it.
Also, I know you guys doubt me, but this news is a hundred percent true, I can even guarantee my life!” The young man said firmly.
“It.... the..”.
“Halo, what she said was true, I also heard her,” Just when one of the young women in the group was about to say something, she was interrupted by a small voice.
The group of eight turned around to see where the voice came from, unfortunately, other than a masked young man who was
standing a few feet away, there was no one else around. But given the distance, they were not sure if he was
who said that. None of them even thought of looking down ever since.
“Who said?” The young man who told the others about the news recently asked.
Others shrugged their shoulders indicating they did not know either.
“Hey, I'm here,” the little voice said once again.
