“Grue sound At the saer arose in his stoe, and hadn’t exactly gone hungry during the journey, he could only eat long-lasting, nonperishable foods, which weren’t exactly delicious One could say that even if they did have aht would eventually make it impossible to s them down

Recently, Suo Jia hadn’t eaten very much; he’d pretty much treated food like medicine He’d close his eyes then wash it doater To a norh for his appetite

Suo Jia sat up and changed his clothes before leaving the roo about it, he walked up to Nicole’s roohtly knocked on the door, but even after waiting for a while, Nicole still answered it

Amidst his bewilderment, one of the inn’s workers walked over and respectfully said, “Mister, this roo She said that she had soht”

Suo Jia nodded in understanding, and turned around to go down the stairs He ordered a table full of dishes, and heartily ate After he finished, Suo Jia strolled around Endless Clouds City alone, and only returned to the inn once it was already evening Then, he slept deeply once ht that Nicole would’ve already returned by that night But when he woke up the next , he discovered that Nicole hadn’t ever returned

Co the worker to open the roo was abnormally tidy It was clear that after they had been tidied up yesterday , nobody had slept in it In other words, Nicole really hadn’t returned

When Suo Jia looked at the neat bedding, a vague feeling of foreboding arose Although they hadn’t known each other for long, Suo Jia knew that Nicole was a trustworthy person She had had otten into trouble, there was no reason to wait until co here to leave

Suo Jia couldn’t help but frown He wanted to go out and search for her, but without any clues, there was no way of finding her After all, it was like finding a needle in a haystack in such a large city that had a population of millions if he just went out to search for her like this

After conte time, Suo Jia finally caotten into some mishap, then her name would definitely be passed around in the thief bar Thinking this, Suo Jia hurriedly left the inn, and rushed over to the thief union

An hour later Suo Jia sat in the corner of the bar with a downcast expression, using his finger to play around with an unusual glass Just as he had expected, Nicole really had gotten into trouble As soon as he had arrived at the bar, Suo Jia had already heard a lot of infor, Endless Clouds City’s lord had been robbed, and lost a large amount of his wealth Fortunately, he’d discovered this quite soon; nearly right after they’d been stolen After receiving this news, the city lord had immediately deployed sentinels to block all exits, and searched every corner to seize the thief

But even after searching for a really long time, he still hadn’t been able to find that vile robber Just as everyone had thought the robber had already left, everyone saw Nicole’s figure appear in a corner This was inevitable; one couldn’t move around stealthily forever No matter hoerful a thief was, they still had li stealth for afor a thief Typically speaking, one could only conceal themselves for a dozen seconds, or maybe a bit more But Nicole had clearly hid herself for at least 10What was evenwas that Nicole had successfully hid herself fro experts’ eyes and ears This could only be described as terrifying, and only Nicole’s ancient family’s stealth technique was able to exhibit such insane results

However, thieves were all the same; once their stealth failed and their concealment was lifted, they couldn’t possibly be a warrior’s opponent Moreover, with so many hidden talents in the city lord’s residence, there was pretty much no way Nicole could resist Thus, she was subdued

The city lord’s residence had been robbed in broad daylight; this made the city lord completely furious He’d already declared that that afternoon, he’d publicly behead Nicole in Endless Clouds City’s square
