The Survival Rules of NPCs

Chapter 69: The Abilities of the Flash Thief

"Sister, don't worry. With the president personally taking action, those insignificant characters like Yu Nu Wu Gua have no chance of succeeding. The president has already said that he will personally crush all the hopes of those scoundrels today!"

Cui Yuzhe carefully applied ointment to his sister, the vice president. Her once charming face had become extremely terrifying. No one in the association dared to look at her face. These days, her ugly appearance had made the female vice president, Cui Minzhi, extremely resentful.

But she dared not vent this resentment on Park Young-joon. She knew very well how terrifying that man was. If he saw even a trace of resentment in her eyes, she would suffer torment worse than death.

Therefore, all her resentment was directed at Yu Nu Wugua.

She just couldn't understand why those disgusting Chinese players were so stubborn, like cockroaches. Even though they were already being crushed and couldn't lift their heads, they still managed to find such a good opportunity by sheer luck.

This time, the president is suppressing her, and she will not give that woman any chance to turn the tables. She will torture her again and again, gouge out her proud eyes, cut off her limbs, cut out her tongue, throw her into the most stinking latrine, and then use special drugs to keep her alive so that she can neither die nor be resurrected!

"I know my sister hates him. Believe me, soon the guild leader will say that the ungrateful woman rejected his last bit of patience. She and that group of Chinese players in the underground black market will be completely wiped out thanks to this case. This time, no matter how many Murong Yunjis there are, they can't save those rats from the gutter!"

"Where's that Wang Gou Dan?"

"Don't worry, she can't escape either. Once Eliza is convicted of murdering the presiding judge, Wang Gou Dan will be an accomplice, and her fate will be terrible. We won't give her a chance to be resurrected!"

Upon hearing this, Cui Minzhi finally relaxed her contorted expression slightly.

If it weren't for that damned Wang Gou Dan, I wouldn't be left with only one life, and I wouldn't be in this state now, with an ugly and distorted face, and I wouldn't dare to start over so easily.

"Don't worry, sister. I will try my best to get you a chance to become extraordinary. With extraordinary abilities, you will be able to resurrect three times as many times as before. Then your beauty will be restored."

Hearing this, Cui Minzhi finally relaxed completely. Yes, she wouldn't always look like this; it was only temporary... only temporary...

"You might not have that opportunity again."

A voice suddenly appeared without warning, causing Cui Yuzhe's hand to tremble, and the medicine in his hand was directly spilled into Cui Minzhi's eyes, causing her to scream like a pig being slaughtered in pain.

"Who are you?" Cui Yuzhe and the surrounding Han Du players all warily drew their weapons.

Where is Kim Hyun-woo?

Everyone immediately tensed up, especially Cui Yuzhe. Only the higher-ups in Han Du knew the name of Gao Zhan Jin Xuanyu, and it was a player ID, not an alias. Who was this guy?

"What do you want with Vice Chairman Kim?"

"Screaming like a pig being slaughtered, Cui Minzhi was clearly unable to communicate. Only Cui Yuzhe, gritting his teeth, said, 'This is Milan Deer Law School. I don't care who you are, but if you dare to cause trouble here, the consequences will be more than you can afford!'"

"So you know that Mirandil's power is beyond your reach?" A somewhat childish voice, tinged with amusement, slowly emerged from the shadows, causing everyone in Han City to look on with surprise.

The guy who barged in silently was actually a boy who looked to be no more than sixteen years old.

Extraordinary!

The location where the opponent appeared was a blind spot. Either the opponent was there just now and we were all blind and didn't see them, or they appeared there by some unknown means. In either case, it is a very dangerous supernatural ability!

"Because of your foolish impulsiveness, a disaster has already occurred. Chairman Park Young-joon is trapped in Courtroom No. 1, and all members of the Han City branch will soon become wanted criminals of the Empire. You have less than half an hour to evacuate. I'll ask you one more time: Where is Kim Hyun-woo?"

The room fell silent instantly, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone found it absurd, but this mysterious person seemed to have such a thorough understanding of their information that it was hard to believe she was bluffing them. After all, even among insiders, only a few core executives barely knew the gist of a secret like assassinating the chief judge.

"What nonsense are you spouting?" the female vice president said fiercely, covering her contorted face.

"You can continue wasting your time. I'll only stay for ten minutes. After ten minutes, my agreement with your president will be fulfilled, and everything in Han City will be none of my business!"

"You think you can fool us with just a few words and we'll cooperate obediently?" The female vice president sneered menacingly, but Choi Woo-cheol whispered, "Sis, she knows that Kim Hyun-woo is the executor. I think we should notify her, just in case something goes wrong, and Chairman Park..."

The woman gritted her teeth, but still didn't act impulsively. She gave a wink to someone next to her, and that person immediately ran outside.

The mysterious young man who suddenly appeared simply took out an exquisite pocket watch, looked at the time, and remained indifferent, giving the impression that he would leave without hesitation in a quarter of an hour, just as he had said.

This attitude made a group of people wonder if what the other party said was true.

If it's true, what will become of them in the future?

Just then, a shadow slipped in without warning. Seeing the familiar figure, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief. With their top warrior present, they felt somewhat at ease in the face of this suddenly appearing superhuman.

But Kim Hyun-woo, who had just arrived, was extremely solemn. When he entered with the power of shadow, he discovered that the other party's gaze had already seen through him and locked onto him from the moment he entered the door!

Even the guild leader couldn't do this. This guy is a master; his perception is comparable to a level 20 Demon Hunter!

"You were looking for me?"

"That's strange..." The other person looked at him with a hint of doubt: "With your skills, taking a strand of an academic judge's hair shouldn't be a piece of cake, right? How could you get this wrong? Did you offend someone, or did you do it on purpose?"

"What did you say?" Kim Hyun-woo frowned. He had heard a rough outline from his subordinates when he arrived, but this was the first time he had heard that the chairman knew such a mysterious expert outside.

"The thing you took from someone today, if I'm not mistaken, it was hair, right? Take it out and let me see it."

Kim Hyun-woo forced a smile: "I don't understand what you're saying."

Sweet Rice Dumpling glanced at her pocket watch again and said coldly, "You only have seven minutes left. The diplomat from the north is dead. You can continue wasting time, but once the time is up, I won't waste a single second here!"

Kim Hyun-woo's face stiffened, and after a few seconds of stalemate, he finally slowly took out the severed hair.

Sweet Rice Dumpling, standing a distance away, glanced at the situation and sneered, "What kind of people does your guild leader, such a scheming person, have under his command? He's incredibly audacious, entrusting such a huge matter to you!"

"What do you mean?" Kim Hyun-woo asked, suppressing his anger, after hearing the undisguised sarcasm in the other person's voice.

"That presiding judge is almost seventy years old. Although he dyed his hair, how could it be so smooth and shiny? And you can even smell Balk men's cologne from a distance. Do you think an old judge would be so flamboyant?"

Kim Hyun-woo froze. The female vice president glanced at the guild's undisputed top fighter in astonishment. At this moment, even a fool could see that the other party was right; Kim Hyun-woo had messed up!

Damn!

At this moment, Kim Hyun-woo felt cold all over. When he used the legendary item, all his attention was on the item, and he actually overlooked such an important loophole. But he couldn't understand why the hair he had taken from the old judge was switched with his own hands. He had been carefully keeping it close to his body.

And what did they just say? A diplomat? No way! At this time, only that show-off diplomat from the North has come to Milandil!

If the hair is his...

Kim Hyun-woo could already foresee his fate—no, he could foresee the fate of the entire Korean capital!

The organization that has been painstakingly built over more than a decade will probably find itself without a foothold in the Rhine Empire in no time!

The president will never forgive him for making such a fatal mistake. What should he do?

Before they could even consider the consequences, the mysterious young man was already in front of them, his cold voice ringing in their ears: "What's done is done. Your guild leader's priority is to ensure the evacuation of the core members. Most importantly, protect that thing you have. In critical moments, prioritize protecting the equipment!"

Kim Hyun-woo swallowed hard. The opponent's movement technique was extraordinary. Even as a level 20 Flowing Light Assassin, he hadn't seen how this guy got close at all!

Although the information the other party had given him had made him lose his composure, his direct approach caught him completely off guard. This guy... is at least a level 30 agility class!

The guild leader actually had such a trump card? He had always thought that the guild leader's greatest asset was himself...

"How... should we cooperate with you?" Kim Hyun-woo asked cautiously.

They finally fell for it. To put on this act, Gou Dan and I practiced hundreds of times in private, finally mastering a deadpan expression and a tone that sounded like someone owed us money.

Of course, most importantly, he went all out again, using all the experience points he had just gained to level up his current rogue class, instantly becoming a level 32 Swift Strike rogue.

To paraphrase Gou Dan, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Thinking about it, it makes sense. I've only been hanging around with Mr. Bright for a short time and I've already gained so much experience. There will only be more opportunities like this in the future, so why be reluctant to give up now?

"Take your things and get out of the city immediately. The entire city is under lockdown because of the diplomat's death. The only way is through special routes, and I can't guarantee that route will be absolutely safe. Are you... these people the core members?"

"Yes!!" Before Kim Hyun-woo could reply, the female vice president beside her quickly interjected, "Yes, they're all here!"

I only have two lives left. If I get trapped in the city, I probably won't be able to get out alive. Of course, there are still some important people in Han City, but who can take care of them now?

Those around him were stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what he meant and tacitly agreed with the vice president's words. In this situation, of course, it was better to sacrifice a fellow Daoist than to sacrifice themselves!

Sweet Rice Dumpling looked at Kim Hyun-woo, who nodded without hesitation. If the diplomat he had accidentally killed outside was indeed the one outside, he had to find a way to escape the city, otherwise he might lose several lives here!

"Where is that thing?" Sweet Rice Dumpling continued to ask.

"It's on me!"

"On your person?" Sweet Rice Dumpling smiled. "That's good."

The Thief skill grants thief players a special ability once they reach level 10: they can randomly steal items from a player's inventory. As a Flash Thief, she can lock onto a player's inventory and stay there for five seconds!
