City Of Thieves 소설 & 이야기

She’s not exactly a hero of justice, seeing the fallen victim from ‘The Cannibal’ just made it worse. “Inspector, take Jaemin and me to the crime scene” Rae stiffened. “On it” he replied short. * * * Jaemin sits next to Vaan, while Rae chose the backseat as her domain. She stares outside the police car as the car passes by the colorful street lights. Theister city was built by the millennials who are hungry for technology and advancement. Some even said this city is cursed, and a city of unification of evil.

{EDMONDO'S POV} * * The streets are quiet at this hour. The kind of quiet that only comes when the night is almost dead and dawn hasn’t yet begun to stir. It’s 3 a.m., maybe 4. This is when the filth of Trento starts crawling back to their holes. Thieves, burglars, scavengers; they think they’re safe now, that no one is watching. But in this city, I see everything. Most of the thieves in Trento work under me. They know the rules: take what I allow, stay in the shadows, and never cross me.

Now someone else had it. Finally putting a leash on his rage, he lowered himself to his seat and took a deep breath. "Were you able to find who the thief is?" he asked in a much calmer voice, a voice that belied the rage boiling within him. "Alpha," Wayland shook his head and quickly proceeded before Talon would flare up again. "We have no idea who the gem thief is, but our spies within Hayden told us it was a werewolf. The Alpha Prince Jade has embarked on a journey to retrieve it, and rumour has it that the Soul Gem and the thief lives in a human city called Northville"

He said perversely, "Hey, baby, why are you alone so late at night? Do you want to have some fun with us?" "Leave or I'll call the police!" Naomi annoyedly brushed past the blond thug. She was still in an irritated mood. However, not only did the thug not let her go, he even deliberately bucked his hips toward Naomi. His words were vulgar. "Call the police! Do it! There is no signal here! The more you scream, the happier I'll be!" Naomi instantly felt that something was not right. She was in Gin City's wealthiest area with extremely tight security. How could a bunch of thugs suddenly appear? Someone must have deliberately got them to come for her!

The data chip remained hidden, a precious treasure close to her skin. Finally, the night of the third moon arrived. The city, bathed in its cool, ethereal glow, seemed to hold its breath. Anya navigated the twisting streets of District 17, her heart pounding against her ribs. She reached Midnight Alley, a notorious den of thieves and scavengers. The air hung heavy with the smell of stale food and something vaguely chemical.

“Now you’ve got me intrigued.” My lips curved faintly. “Intrigued?” “How does a thief know how to navigate corporate negotiations and contract presentations?” I let out a quiet laugh. “Just because I’m a thief doesn’t mean I’m dumb.” I continued, “If anything, thieves are some of the smartest people alive.” That earned a quiet laugh from him, low and unexpected. “Is that so?” “Of course,” I replied. “You think stealing is easy? One wrong move and everything falls apart. You learn to think ahead and read people before they read you.”

Jade didn't bring money to buy anything, it depended on what the men she was traveling with were doing at the time. "I'm sorry, I have no money, I'm just traveling with this group of gentlemen." That old man was somewhat sad and walked off walking around the carriage, looking for whoever would give him some money. Jade noticed that the city was quite poor. She saw many people begging in the streets, plus the houses were in bad shape. One of the guards standing near her spoke to her. "You must stay in the chariot, do not talk to anyone. The city is full of thieves. There is a shortage of food, so you must be careful. What you did was dangerous."

“And like always, they found whatever few survivors and took them away. For what reason, I can’t tell. Maybe for interrogations. I don’t know… Does this mean that someone’s chasing after Ra’ventrii, too? Besides us?” “Or cleaning up after them,” said Orsethii. “How interesting.” ~ Thanatos loomed over the vast Imperial city below. Unlike the Einherjar’s usual targets, this one seemed more refined and more polished. Like a showroom version of an industrial city. Unlike the vast diaspora of the usual coral city, or the rigid beauty of a crystal city, this one was a kind of mix between the two. It was as though the city was populated with massive slabs of slate which jutted out of the ground in

VIKTOR’S POV The city of thieves was just as the name implied. Perhaps even worse. It was a pit of soot and sin, a bustling maze of misery and crime. Tonight, the rain attempted to wash it clean, but failed woefully. I walked the cobblestone streets near the docks, the collar of my greatcoat turned up against the bitter bite of the wind. The humans walked pass me, huddled under their umbrellas, some of them oblivious to the predator walking among them, while others threw panicked glances at me before hurrying across the other side of the street.

There were chances of them rising to continue what their parents started. Peace reigned for many years after that. The pack boomed. The Alpha Rush declined. Well, until the moonstone was stolen. My boots crush the crystal ice-floor beneath me as I strut through the city, watching everything. My breath fogs at each exhale while I think of a way out of here. What lies beyond the city? More tasks? My body shudders, thanks to the cold. I pass by what seemed to be a whorehouse, and just by the entrance, there are frozen bodies of men and women.
