Chapter 1330 – Give it to You

So, Xiaoke was mumbling to herself while eating the porridge. She thought that she should try and see if she could get some extra money from them before leaving… Yes, that would be good! After all, thieves used skills to survive. It was a test of skill. They didn’t use weapons or fight in the open. That was what gangsters did!

But, with the thieves’ sects getting bigger and bigger, some people stopped following the rules- some of the newcomers became greedier and greedier. Although, due to the big names at the top, they didn’t do it in the open, working in the shadows instead. The more skill you had, the more you got!

Of course, with the thieving groups in the cities, those weren’t considered part of the sects- they didn’t have traditional honor or anything like that. It was why Xiaoke got ganged that day.

“Want some porridge?” Old Hei brought out two cans of it for Lin Yi. “Don’t worry. I’m not that dumb as to poison it. There’s Old Hao here. You don’t have to worry! Plus, with the things you said the other day, I’d always believe them over doubting them.”

“Not hungry.” Lin Yi took the porridge and put them on Xiaoke’s table. “Here, for you.”

Xiaoke didn’t reject it, taking it instead. She couldn’t bear to eat porridge like this even if it were a few kuai, let alone ten thousand kuai!

Old Hei shrugged, not saying anything.

The couple’s personalities were a bit weird, and everyone had gotten used to it.

After a while, Old Hao came to Old Hei’s tent with some men, a bit embarra.s.sed once he saw everyone here, “Old Hei, we can start the operation now?”

“Yeah, we’re scouting today. Everyone, come on- let’s go,” Old Hei nodded, “This time, the benefits are all shared- I hope n.o.body hides any skills or anything, just put out what you can do! Otherwise, we’ll suffer losses as a group!”

“Naturally- it’s not the first time we’ve worked together, anyway.” Keng Bro nodded.

“I’m not as experienced like you guys, but my tech is top grade!” James said, “I’ll help wherever I can.”

“Hmph, as long as I get my twenty percent, of course,” Lin Yi said coldly.

“Alright! Old Hao is here, too, it’s settled then,” Old Hei was evidently a careful person, repeating something that had already been decided on, again and again, afraid that something would go wrong, “We’ll gather here after half an hour, and go scout together!”

The crowd gave a response and went to get prepared. Lin Yi, Lingshan, and Yutian, on the other hand, sat there as if they didn’t hear Old Hei.

“Aren’t you guys going to prepare?” Old Hei asked.

“No need.” Lin Yi said flatly, “It’s just scouting, why would we bring so much stuff with us?”

OId Hei shrugged, leaving Lin Yi alone. The person clearly didn’t want to be having conversations- what a weird personality! With that mask all day, too. Maybe he had a lot of enemies because of his s.h.i.+tty behavior, and he didn’t want people to know what he looked like because of that.

Xiaoke didn’t go, as well- she felt a sense of familiarity towards this husband of the couple. It was a woman’s sixth sense, or maybe the sense of a thief- but she felt like she met him before!

Old Hei started packing his things, and Xiaoke finally couldn’t help but raise her head to size, Lin Yi, up.

“What’re you looking at? You want to die,” Lin Yi knew that Xiaoke had suspicions, so he had already adjusted his voice- but still, Xiaoke might see something wrong. This was one of his instincts.

Xiaoke spat out her tongue- leaving Lin Yi alone after his meanness.

Half an hour later, everyone was back with their tools, with Old Hei in front of them- they moved to the tomb.

The tomb was located in a mountain vein under the mountain- it was the steep drop type of mountain, and people wouldn’t go down there if they didn’t know there was a tomb there! It was all boulders, with no gra.s.s and no animals- n.o.body would go down to frolic.

At the edge of the cliff, Old Hei’s men brought out the heavy machinery parts, setting up the heavy machinery.

“My men will stand guard up here- but for fairness’ sake, you can have your men stand guard too.” Old Hei said.

The purpose of doing that was so that Old Hei wouldn’t’ just come up by himself and leave everyone at the bottom of the cliff!

Keng Bro and James and Old Hao left men standing guard up there, but not Lin Yi, “We’re just three men, no need for that. You can just go up last later!”

“Naturally.” Old Hei paused, nodding. He had the most men up here, so him going up last was also fair. Of course, he didn’t know that Lin Yi was just confusing him with these words- with this sort of height, even a Golden cla.s.s could jump down, let alone a Mystic.

Old Lin kicked him down a mountain cliff once, and he didn’t die from it! Of course, this wouldn’t kill him now.

The machinery got Old Hei, Old Hao, James, Keng Bro, and Lin Yi’s group down, before moving all the other followers of other groups.

The entrance to the tomb was on the cliff wall, but this was certainly not the main entrance, just a hole for thieves. The real entrance still wasn’t discovered!

Old Hei, Keng Bro, James, and Old Hao, along with Xiaoke and Lin Yi’s group, went into the hole. It was a medium-sized one. They didn’t know what it was for, but there was a path in front of them. Evidently, a path forced open.

Old Hei squatted down and checked some details on the sides of the entrance before nodding. “Looks like everyone kept their word- no one entered privately first!”

“Naturally!” Keng Bro and James nodded, “Honor is a big factor in this industry, after all.”

“Hmph, honor? Scared of dying, more like. This tomb has a lot of things that could kill you- if you could just stride in easily then it’d be empty already. You guys would have taken everything!” Lin Yi’s words made everyone blush, but those words were true. Indeed, if it weren’t for the fact that the tomb was extremely dangerous, they wouldn’t have waited so long!
