Getting Caught

The chief suddenly stood up from his seat as he looked at the direction where Allen left. He facepalmed himself as his smack resounded across the room. He forgot to tell Allen that the bandits has Thrones guarding them!

Thrones are beings that has attained the level of Emperor Profound Realm! Any one of them can decimate thousands of people with just a wave of their hand. Although, they are dangerous.. Allen still won't stop his goal of plundering those bandits as he really needed some money to survive or else he would die from drooling while looking at the magnificent foods scattered across the village.

The chief contemplated for a bit as he thought of the fact that his old man felt threatened about Allen. He shook his head as he sat back to his seat once again.

...

Allen has long left the village as he proceeded towards the south with a donkey. It was strange but he can't do anything about it as buying horses on the stable would be too much for the current him who doesn't possess any kind of things aside from his clothes and handsomeness.

He was already lucky that he managed to get himself a donkey for free. When he tried to check out the horses and found that it's so expensive.. he can just grumble while leaving. Fortunately, he encountered this loss donkey within an alleyway which made him a little bit happy. Now, he won't have to walk towards the south once again.

He even thought of using his power to control time but quickly dismissed it as it would be too bothersome. Although, he would be fast.. he would still walk that hundreds of kilometers in foot! What can you expect from Allen that is weak as fuck right now, physically speaking. He only managed to defeat that spider using his wits and taking advantage of his control over time. If not for that, he would have already died way long ago.

Actually, Allen can just stop the time of his body but.. there's a problem. The moment he stopped his body's time, he would also stop. Meaning, his entirely, together with his mind would stop whilst if he reversed his body's time.. he would forget things that just happened.

It sounds strange but.. Allen knew himself that he still cannot control the Eternal Heaven Pearl properly. Although, it seems to have acknowledge himself as the master because of the God that interfered personally. He still lack the foundation to control such treasure.

Looking back at the current Allen, he's still riding the donkey towards the south. A map can be seen within his hands as he looked at it while travelling. Sometimes, he would grumble because of the bumps in the road which made his ass feel itchy.

After a while of enduring pain and itchiness, he finally saw some signs of people as he noticed the smoke rising to the sky. He patted his donkey as they both headed towards the source of smoke. He sensed the smell of good food while approaching the smoke.

"They are cooking something?"

He licked his lips as he proceeded fearlessly without any care in the world. The only thing that he cared about now is that he's hungry as hell to the point that he might just castrate the donkey before him. Jokes aside, he finally saw 3 figures sitting around a fire pit while holding some stick with meat hanging in it!

Allen did not hesitate as he approached the three people without even thinking. The three people sensed the sound of galloping as they looked at the direction where Allen is located. Their expression turned strange when they saw the exhausted donkey grabbing Allen to them. They felt pity towards the donkey who seemed to be on the verge of death because of exhaustion.

Allen jumped out of the donkey as he slowly approached the three people. Due to him not possessing any profound veins, he can't sense their cultivation bases. Likewise, the three frowned when they noticed that they can't sense his cultivation.

"Dear sirs, I wonder if you can spare me a piece of meat?"

Allen asked with a hint of expectation within his tone whilst the three stared at each other with a weird expression. Whilst the three are somehow communicating with each other, Allen saw a weird tattoo within their necks which made him stare at them in surprise.

"Do you know who we are, brat?"

Finally, one of the trio spoke up as he looked at Allen with an indifferent expression yet a threatening tone. Allen replied to the man thru shaking his head from side to side as he still stared at the meat within the man's hand.

"Eh?"

The trio looked at each other once again as they felt the situation rather pecurial. One of them nodded at the man that just spoke up as they all withdrew their gaze on each other. The man, who just spoke up, looked at Allen with an indifferent expression as he nodded at him.

"Thank you, guys!"

Allen thanked them as he shamelessly sat with them, feeling happy while enjoying the warmth that the fire pit released. He saw the man get a stick and put some meat in it as he threw it towards Allen. Seeing this, he can only nod at them while expressing his gratitude.

He used the stick and grilled it on the fire pit whilst holding it carefully, afraid of it falling to the ground. He heard his stomach grumble once again as he felt hungrier each passing second. After a while of waiting, Allen sniffed the meat before him while closing his eyes out of reflex.

The man suddenly squinted his eyes as he sprayed some sort of dusts towards the meat. The trio looked at each other for but a split second as they withdrew their gaze, just waiting for the victim to slowly fall to sleep.

Allen, with his unexperienceness, did not notice the thing that happened within a split second as he took a bit on the meat. He ate it so fast that it made the trio stare at him with a strange look, seemingly telling him, "are you a beggar?".

However, he somehow felt dizzy as he clutched the wood that he's currently sitting at. He felt that something is wrong as he turned his head towards the trio who smiled towards him.

"Shit!"

Allen felt his consciousness darken as his body fell limp to the ground. The trio approached him as the man who spoke up a while ago picked him up and inspected his pulse. Seeing that Allen was but a cripple with no profound veins, he did not placed him in his eyes at all.

"We now have a new sweeper on the hideout!"

Hideout? Which means the trio are members of the bandits that has been plundering different people! Moreover..

"But still.. for him to now know our face.."

"It's indeed weird.."

"We are three of the five Thrones within the camp so maybe he's just not aware of that much.."

Allen fucked up as not just one Throne abducted him but three! The trio soon left the place as they proceeded south unhurriedly.

They did not know that their action just now would make them cry later on. After all, Allen has been thinking of different plans to enter the hideouts of bandits. Since heaven presented the opportunity itself, the bandits shall only wait for their doom.
