“Thief, thief I know you stole it, now if you do not give it back to me all hell will break loose“ “Aunty, please I did not take anything I swear it “ “Liar, you are a liar and a whore just like your dead mother, I know you have taken it and I want it back“

“The Diamond Necklace goes to Madam Carolina Clinthon!” Some applauded while others remained silent, their eyes filled with disappointment. The spotlight focused entirely on Mrs. Clinthon, as if she were the true victor of the night. Meanwhile, hidden behind the stage were several thieves. Dressed in black clothing, they blended almost perfectly with the darkness, their eyes darting around like hungry wolves waiting for prey. Their footsteps were heavy yet nearly silent as they tightly gripped the bags meant to carry the precious jewel they desired. Each of them was nervous, but greed and anticipation dominated their expressions.

EPISODE 160 And I was left standing there. People around me barely seemed fazed. The noise of the market picked right back up, as if nothing out of the ordinary had just happened. My pulse was still racing as I tried to spot even a glimpse of Cairo, but all I could see were the stall canopies, some fluttering tarps, and the occasional bird flitting by. "Another omega thief... they really have no shame, doing this kind of thing in broad daylight."

Connor roared with conviction forgetting that even the silence had ears. They knew that they never knew where they were lurking somewhere in the dark, “Mom and dad aren’t here are they, we are their captives we should be lucky it's them and not us. We will have time to fight back but that time is not now, and they are not what we should be worried about. The way that the storms look at us like they are trying to peek behind a mask did you notice it?” Glory spoke in a venomous whisper as they trudged up the steps.

However, he thought that the traitor does not deserve a quick death so he would have to wait for a little bit. “Who are these soldiers?” King Lawson asked as he eyed the four soldiers one by one, a bit confused about the situation. He could not recognize any of them and judging the crest on their armors, he came to know that they were from the Thorine Kingdom. “They are witnesses,” Emery replied.

The man surnamed Inferno didn’t look threatened in the least way nor did he look angry, instead he smirked, “You are something aren’t you, little thief?” Usually, when someone who has stolen from you threatens to steal from you again, most people would panic and call the police to keep close eyes on the suspect, but not this man. He seemed amused, maybe because she didn’t look convincing or threatening enough. Perhaps there was something else he was hoping for. Jasmin didn’t know if she should be happy about that or angry. She stepped to close the space between them, and her eyes didn’t waver from his. “I am. Now step out of the way. I’ve got more tables to wait.”

"Say hello to my business associate, Caterina. You'll love the man." The handle of the door turned, and the door creaked a bit as it opened. Business associate? Who the fuck was doing business with this fucking psycho? That was... that was absurd. But I couldn't be surprised. This was the whole mafia world, I guess. This was the kind of thing they did. I braced myself up, even with my heart pounding at about one hundred and fifty beats per minute, ready for whoever it was... until I saw the figure standing just beyond Alessandro’s shoulder.

Aurelia moved to Zinjo's back, and he carried on his way, “Lions must prove their worth to lead, I hope my brother succeeded, or else my people will be in much trouble.” “What makes you say that?” “Not all lions respect the land. Some see the outside world and seek to make our people in its image. This is not a good thing. Lions must be lions,” Zinjo said. He pointed to a door covering another tunnel. “The scent ends there.” Aurelia had seen the door type before it revolved with a simple push. “I think this is where the thieves guild meets. The city watch searched everywhere down here, and they came up empty, and now we found it on the first try?”

There was indeed a goddess-level thief that was not affiliated with the Silver Hands, and that particular thief had probably not even heard of their name. While everyone else was at their wit’s end with the theft from the day before, a certain thief beamed with smiles as she returned from her rewarding journey. She sat on top of the big pile of loot and enjoyed herself as she looked at her harvest with deep appreciation.
