Bai Xiaosheng finalized plans for his territory's development with various parties and scheduled his inauguration ceremony. He then took a break with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, enjoying the sights of Eisenlag. Their leisurely stroll was interrupted when a young woman named Lorna approached them, initially offering gifts from a deity, then attempting to sell them mismatched religious items. After a bizarre encounter, Lorna bumped into Lin Weiwei and fled, revealing herself to be a pickpocket when Lin Weiwei discovered her phone and wallet were stolen.

Eisenlag, this highly developed city, still retains some old architecture, at least a hundred years old.

Between those ancient buildings, there are some cobblestone alleys, winding and twisting, yet leading in every direction.

At this moment, a nimble figure is gracefully darting through them, like an agile squirrel.

Reaching a deserted spot, the figure stops, glances back to ensure no one followed, then skillfully drags out an old wooden table from the corner, and proudly lays the items in hand onto it.

A smartphone that looks very new and expensive, and a wallet with a big brand label.

"These Asians sure are wealthy! You can tell these are good stuff just by getting your hands on them!" the girl named Lorna clicked her tongue in amazement. She took off her large backpack and placed it beside, muttering, "I wonder if there’s a surprise inside this bag, it looks packed, must be quite a sum!"

Full of anticipation, Lorna opened Lin Weiwei’s wallet, layer upon layer, all cards, with not much cash.

Lin Weiwei, following Bai Xiaosheng, doesn’t spend money on food, lodging, or travel, since money is useless, naturally she doesn’t carry much.

"Just... this little cash?" Lorna was clearly having trouble accepting this reality.

After the shock, she frowned, becoming somewhat angry and frustrated, she dumped all the cards from the wallet onto the table.

However, looking at the wallet itself, feeling its brand, Lorna muttered, "This branded item is quite valuable."

Glancing at those cards on the table, she self-talked, "Later, I’ll drop these at the police station entrance, they’ll mail them to you if they can find your address."

Next, Lorna picked up the phone, flipping through satisfied, "This looks pretty decent."

Confirming the phone’s value, Lorna sighed, "I have to sell these two items, wasted half a day today, got only two new goods."

Among the variety of small items and accessories in her large bag, they all came this way.

She personally called it "stocking goods."

However, the "sales channel" for goods was always not so good.

Of course, items like today should be easier to sell.

Lorna prepared to stuff these two items into her bag to take away.

"Taking others’ things and tossing them randomly isn’t something good kids should do!"

Suddenly, a voice came, almost making Lorna scream.

Lorna reflexively squatted like a cat, turned toward the voice, and grabbed a palm-sized rock from the ground, holding it as a weapon.

"Good reaction, little girl, agile too. But using it to steal, what a pity."

A huge figure squatted on the wall, smiling down at Lorna.

It was Lei Ying.

Seeing the other’s gorilla-like squat posture, Lorna suddenly panicked.

Size disparity, power disparity, the crucial part is not knowing when this big guy came, not even hearing a sound!

Luckily, he made a noise to alert her, or if he didn’t...

I guess I would be finished...

Lorna felt a chill down her back, her heart swelled with fear.

Lei Ying leapt down from the wall.

This alley is intricate, but with good visibility above, allowing him to lock onto this target at once.

"You’re here to reclaim your partner’s things, right?" Lorna calmed down, waved the phone and wallet, even smiled at Lei Ying, "I happened to find them, shouldn’t you thank me?"

Calling a "steal" a "find," indeed, a true case of turning black into white.

"Thank you?" Lei Ying smiled, "Sure, how about I invite you to the police station for tea?"

"Sorry, I don’t have time for that." Lorna shuffled her feet, smiling, "If you want these things, I’ll give them to you! No need for tea!"

In the middle of speaking, Lorna shook her hand with the items, while her other hand flicked the stone swiftly, aiming directly at Lei Ying’s forehead.

Ordinary people would definitely be startled by such a sudden action, instinctively dodging.

This would create an opportunity.

However, clearly, Lei Ying is not within this "ordinary people" category...

After throwing the stone, Lorna’s body instantly shot out, heading straight to her backpack, intending to grab it and run.

Here, she is more familiar than that Asian person, thinking it wouldn’t be difficult to shake off the opponent.

Just as Lorna was confident, already touching her bag strap, the bag seemed to "leap" away.

This scene made Lorna pause, until she saw the stone tumbling on the ground.

That man, he caught the stone I threw, and used it to knock away my bag?

Lorna suddenly felt a wave of disbelief.

Also, fear.

If that stone hadn’t knocked the bag but had hit her, what would happen...

Such close distance, and accuracy, she couldn’t escape...

At the very least, she’d have a bloody head...

In an instant, Lorna felt as if she was electrified, a wave of fear surged from the heart.

The bag, she didn’t want it anymore, feet kept moving, dashed away over a dozen steps, wanting to escape directly.

"You’re running faster than a rabbit, really nimble." a voice sounded beside.

Lorna’s hair stood on end, skin pricked up, instinctively looked toward the source of the sound, suddenly felt emptiness in her hands.

The wallet and phone she held were already gone.
