Amongst Thieves 소설 & 이야기

I was alert to everything around me. I am almost always alert, of course - that's how I've survived this long. But a marketplace attracts more than honest and dishonest customers. Pickpockets and other thieves are drawn by the money being spent, and the goods on display. No, thieves wouldn't attempt to steal a slave. But you'd be amazed to see what can be stolen, while a shapely female slave is being shown.

The person shivered when he turned to face me, falling to his knees with his head grazing the ground. “Do I know you?” I asked in a cold tone. “No my lord, but I know you. I saw you at one of your visits to the pack. I'm Marion, a pack guard.” He said. “What's the commotion about?” I asked. “There's this little thief, who has been going about stealing things from the market. The thief does this about five days of the week. He is always fast and swift, and we’ve never caught him. But today is surely his doomsday. I stationed a guard who has great speed at the market. He’ll be caught in no time.” He grinned.

As Mallory was being loaded into the ambulance, a police officer approached her. "We apprehended the five thieves who broke into your house, Mr. Crimson."We've taken them to the police station. They plainly have a robbery motivation, and this is not the first property they have broken into in this community. They are members of the doorbell gang, which means they will ring the doorbell and then steal if no one is there or no one else is left with them. Especially considering the residences in this subdivision are frequently empty. However, even if their purpose was initially purely internal, we witnessed an effort to rape your partner. We're glad we reacted; thank you as well."

With a quick flick of my wrist, I sent it crashing to the ground, its shattering echo reverberating through the hallway. The thieves startled, their attention drawn to the source of the disturbance. Seizing the opportunity, I lunged forward, my movements precise and calculated. With a series of swift, well-timed maneuvers, I incapacitated the closest thief, disarming him of his tools. However, the element of surprise had faded, and the remaining thieves retaliated with heightened aggression. Their movements were fluid and coordinated, their skills honed through countless heists. I dodged their advances with agility, relying on my training and instincts to keep me one step ahead.

Daren whispered to himself, realizing the men might be goon with intent to rob. These were no ordinary thieves but Marco's goons, and Daren's anxiety heightened. His heart raced as he quickened his pace, yet the men closed in, subjected him to a beating, and forcibly loaded him into their truck. The group comprised five individuals: Daren was confined to the back seat, guarded by an armed man, ensuring compliance. Another drove the truck, while a third occupied the front passenger seat. The remaining two escorted the vehicle on sports bikes, resembling a sinister convoy.

Could it be that on this world, was there still any other thief with excellent stealing technique that had not been admitted into the ‘Silver Hand’? In fact, there truly was that kind of little thief that was at a godly level which did not belong to the ‘Silver Hand’. There was no need to talk about “that” certain thief joining the ‘Silver Hand’ for at this moment, as it was very likely “that” certain thief still had never heard of the ‘Silver Hand’.

Other less obvious thieves ran sleight of hand attractions to lure in the naive. I saw a fairy peek out of the pocket of one thief, and a family of imps hid amongst the display of a florist. The brethren lived amongst the people of Nerith, but discretely, I thought. I wondered if the people of Nerith were in general tolerant or intolerant of their non-mankind neighbours.

The acting leader of this group of thieves. Base on their conversation, they are here to steal. And by the looks of it ,they already knows who lives here. A tall and thin man snickered and said to the fat guy. "Isn't it obvious! For the years of our operations as thieves, you sure are dumb pig fatty!" Which earned the laughter of the remaining one.

I looked up and nodded. “I’ll behave.” I sighed and he smiled. That strange something inside me stirred again and when he touched me to remove my bounds it felt as if I had been woken from a dream. As we stepped outside, I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised to find people talking and laughing as they moved around what seemed like a square of some kind. I turned to look at the place we had just left and it was a fairly primitive building, but it was beautiful. Fynn explained that they were a simple group of people. Farmers mostly, which was pretty weird since I knew they were beasts. I knew he was the leader but people spoke to him as if he was just one of them. One of the first things

How hadn’t anyone noticed before? The knowledge about stealers was limited. They were a pack taboo, and in olden times once a stealer was found she was immediately exiled. They were a bad omen for any pack, a threat to the unity within. It was all because of the Stealer’s scent that could mimic that of a lost mate of a widowed wolf, or an unmated one who was yet to find his mate, thus making herself enticing to them.
