Chapter 5-Catching Thieves
The sky gradually began to darken, and the lively market also became deserted. Occasionally, one could hear the barking of dogs from the quiet deep alleys, accompanied by a long, miserable howl.
"Ah ~~~~" The voice came from a man who was rolling on the ground while hugging his arm. His face was pale, and bean-sized sweat instantly appeared on his face as if by magic.
"Look at how miserable he is screaming. He seems to be in pain.”A handsome man said in a compassionate voice. Of course, the mocking expression on his face betrayed his true nature.
"You're the only one who knows how to make sarcastic remarks. Why don't you let Babasa give you a punch?”The captain, who knew Brad's character well, said.
"We've been looking for that kid for the entire afternoon, but we didn't see him at all. Just when we're in a bad mood, there's still a little thief who dares to come after us. It's already good enough that Babasa didn't kill him.”Brad's words echoed everyone's thoughts.
The Stars Mercenary Group spent the entire afternoon searching all the restaurants. They stood while others sat. They watched as others ate, all for the sake of finding the scarred man who had stolen their purse.
Who would have thought that after working for an entire day on an empty stomach, they would get nothing. Everyone suppressed their anger and prepared to find a hotel to rest, but that blind thief came to find trouble with them. Just nice, when they were sleepy, a pillow was sent over. Everyone,
He found the best way to vent his anger, and the poor thief was finally beaten up by Babasa, who broke his arm.
"Ask him if he knows who that kid is and where he lives.”Short but powerful words always came from Will's mouth.
"Hey, kid, it's your bad luck to meet me. Since you've met me, it's fate. I'll give you a chance to repent. I'll ask you a few questions. You're free, but if you dare to lie to me, do you see that big guy? Yes, the one who broke your arm. I guarantee that he will eat you!!”The Brade Warrior Babasa's aggrieved gaze was focused on scaring the poor thief.
"I'll talk, I'll talk. What do you want to ask? I'll tell you everything I know.”In the thief's eyes, Babasa's sullen gaze was filled with affection for his body. He immediately nodded in fear. As long as he could live, he would sell his boss's secret. Don't expect the thief to have a backbone.
"What a good kid. Do you know a thief with a scar on his face? He's less than 20 years old and is quite good-looking. Of course, he's far inferior to me.”Even the interrogation didn't stop Brad from being narcissistic.
"There are scars on his face. He's not even 20 years old. He's not bad…" The thief mumbled as he tried to recall who in his trade met these conditions. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't remember which thief had such obvious characteristics. There was a scar on his face. How could such an obvious mark be used in their line of work?
The thief was about to tell them the truth when a figure suddenly appeared in his mind. Although he wasn't a thief, he occasionally went to the market to make a living. Thinking of this, he understood who had attracted these bad guys.
"What's wrong? Can't you remember? Why don't I ask Babasa to help you recall?”Brad looked at him, his eyes flickering. He didn't know if he remembered something, but since he didn't say anything, he could only threaten him. Of course, he used Babasa's name.
"What? No, no, I remember now. Don't hit me.”The thief almost peed his pants when he heard Brad's words. Would he still be alive after being beaten up by that boorish man? Sigh... I can only betray that guy. I hope these fiends can deal with him so that he doesn't come looking for me. The thief thought for a while and finally made up his mind.
"I know who the person you are looking for is, but he is not a thief. He only occasionally goes to the market to get some money. A boy who was not even 20 years old. Actually, he was only 15 years old this year. He had a scar on his face. We all called him Crazy Albert.”
"Crazy Albert? Is there something wrong with his mind?" The captain felt strange after hearing the thief's words.
"That's not it. Madman was given to him by all of us because that kid fights without regard for his life. As long as he has the chance to defeat his opponent, he doesn't care even if he has to exchange his life for his life. Don't look down on his young age, there are already quite a few local ruffians and hooligans who have died in his hands, and even more have been crippled. However, that kid has also been seriously injured several times, but he can't die no matter what.”The thief's words inadvertently revealed a kind of worship, or perhaps yearning, because people like him who lived at the bottom of the society could only live well if they were ruthless, even though he did not realize his admiration.
"Humph, no matter how powerful he is, he's just a thief. When I find him, I won't let him off.”Avril, who had been silent all this while, finally got the information she needed and angrily expressed her opinion.
"Let's go. Take us to his house and then you can leave.”The commander said.
"Is that it? This house can be used? Are you sure you're not lying to us?" The people hiding in the alley looked at the dilapidated house and expressed their strong suspicion of the thief.
"Yes, since I've already told you about him, why would I lie to you?”The thief's tone was extremely sincere.
"Forget it, you can leave." The leader waved his hand and let the thief leave.
"Let's go and take a look at this kid who has kept us busy all day.”
Abel was quite happy today. After basking in the sun for the whole morning, he had met a beautiful woman when he went hunting. Not only did he bump into her for nothing, but his results were also very impressive. Although he didn't have much left after giving the money to the other beggars in the afternoon, at least he didn't have to worry about food for the next few days. At this moment, he was lying in bed and humming happily. Of course, he didn't know that he was singing out of tune.
" Clang! Clang!" A series of knocks on the door woke up Abel, who was about to fall asleep.
"Damn it, who had the guts to come and smash my door today? Did I not deal with them recently?”Aber, who had been woken up, cursed as he walked towards the door. He had decided that as long as the person who opened the door was here to cause trouble, he would beat him up until he could not take care of himself.
The door opened, and a dreamy and beautiful face appeared in Abel's line of sight. However, this beautiful face did not have a sweet smile, nor was it reserved and shy. Instead, it was filled with raging anger, and her beautiful eyes emitted an enticing light.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" After a moment of shock, Abel recognized the owner of this face. Although he did not know how he was found in the house, he could only pretend to be stupid and hope to get away with it.
"Don't say that you don't recognize me. It's you. I remember it clearly!!”Avril gritted her teeth when she saw him acting dumb.
"This beautiful lady, I really don't know you. Why would someone as noble as you come to this slum? You must have found the wrong person.”After being exposed, Ai Bo maintained his smile and continued to act dumb. Fortunately, his mental fortitude was good enough to not change his expression and heart when he was caught red-handed.
"Hehe, what an interesting kid. He still doesn't admit that he's a character.”Brad was extremely satisfied with Abel's shameless behavior.
"Stop talking. No one will treat you as a mute.”Captain Winst glared at Brad.
At this moment, Abel saw the people standing behind the beautiful elf. There was a handsome mage, a warrior uncle who had a high status (at least he dared to glare at handsome guys), a cold man who looked like a thief, a boorish man who had to look up to see his face, and a beautiful mage.
Damn it, looking at their attire, they were actually mercenaries. So was that idiot elf. Why was she wandering around the market by herself? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have attacked her. Abel muttered in his heart.
"Hey, are you stupid? Hurry up and return the money bag to me!" Avril shouted angrily at Abel when she saw him standing there in a daze.
"Ah! Don't you know that scaring people will scare them to death?”Abel was almost scared to death and rolled his eyes at Avril.
"You stole my money bag and you still have a reason? I'm so angry! "Woo ~~" Avril was filled with grief and indignation, and her tears fell.
The result of the Yin turning into rain directly caused the sunny days of others to turn dark. "Kid, you're asking for it yourself," Will said sinisterly.”
With that, the figure flashed to Abel's side and slashed at his neck.
Abel saw a figure flash in front of him, and a gust of wind came from beside him. His many years of fighting experience was reflected at this moment. He pounced forward and dodged Will's hand knife.
His dodging movements and timing were perfect, but he forgot that there was a beautiful elf standing in front of him. Avril watched helplessly as he fell into her arms.
Stunned... Abel was stunned, Avril was stunned, and so were the others.
Avril had grown up in the forest. She had an innocent and cute personality, and was lively and active. She could not resist her curiosity and left the forest to explore the world. She was lucky enough to meet Winst and the others to avoid being tricked into selling herself as a slave. In the team, she was like a little sister to everyone, doted on. She was so innocent that she did not know anything about the relationship between men and women. She treated everyone else like her big brother and sister.
Therefore, Avril's mind went blank when Abel attacked her chest. The pressure on her chest brought her thoughts back to reality. Her fair little face instantly turned red, then white, and finally green.
"Ah ~~~~~~~~~~~ I'll kill you!!!”Avril pushed Abel away and stabbed him with the dagger at her waist.
Ever since Abel was born, he had never felt that women were special or different, nor did he find them attractive. In his eyes, women were not even as cute as a piece of bread. However, he also knew that women were forbidden, so when he threw himself into Avril's arms, he was also stunned.
Even after Avril pushed him away, he still missed that soft feeling. Then, a sharp pain in his abdomen brought him back to reality.
"Oh!" Abel let out a muffled groan. Damn it, he actually stabbed me with a knife. Even if I die, I'll drag someone down with me. The guilt Abel felt for what he had done to Avril vanished with this slash, and the pain in his abdomen drove him crazy.
The furious Abel rushed towards Avril. Will, who was beside him, saw this and kicked him in the butt. Abel staggered and rushed out. When he steadied himself, he realized that he was right in front of the female mage. Abel quickly walked behind her and grabbed Catherine's neck.
"F * ck, no one is allowed to move, or I'll strangle her to death!!”
