The Perfect Thief

Nathan Yang offered a solution. "We can go down for now. Go grab your things and I'll ask the others if they saw him. Describe what he looks like, how tall he is, or what color his hair is..."

"Wait, who are you?" Fu Yangzhu said as he sat up, seeing the similar face to the woman who knocked him unconscious.

Nathalie Yang appeared beside Nathan Yang, smiling mockingly at him. Fu Yangzhu became flustered. Ah! This was the woman who punched and ruined his beautiful face! He got up, ready to pick a fight again but Mu Qianmo was quick and held him down.

"Now isn't the time, Yangzhu. We still have to worry about Boss Ren."

"But..but..."

Mu Qianmo's hardened eyes laid over Fu Yangzhu, causing the latter to become quiet.

"Brother Qian, who are these people?" Mizuki Rei asked, standing up with Mu Qingqing's support. He was holding his jaw, hissing at the pain from his bruised cheek.

Undoubtedly, for a vain person like him, his face still mattered. Like Fu Yangzhu, he looked at Nathalie Yang with a discontented expression.

"Weakling." Nathalie Yang whispered, rolling her eyes at them.

Fu Yangzhu's eyes blazed. He was provoked so Mu Qianmo held him down using more strength. On the other hand, it was Mu Qingqing who was keeping Mizuki Rei in check so he did not have to worry.

Truth is, Mizuki Rei who heard this very familiar word was dumbfounded. It made him remember his horrible nickname, Mr. Ling.

'That's right... How could I forget? I'm still a weakling...' He thought gloomily.

"I will go get our things." Lilian Mo said. "Jiaojiao and Xiao Ji will come with me."

The others looked at her, not knowing what she meant but it was Mu Qianmo who quickly caught on.

He clapped his hands together. "Ah, that's right. Yangzhu, why don't you go with Little Sister Mo? We can't let the girls do all the lifting." Mu Qianmo said with a smile, looking at them very meaningfully.

Although Fu Yangzhu did not immediately understand, he still obediently obeyed Mu Qianmo since he did not want to stay any longer and see Nathalie Yang's mocking gaze.

He had never been annoyed with a woman as much as he is right now. He threw her a glare before leaving with Lilian Mo, Lin Jiaojiao, and Zhang Youji.

In the corridor, Fu Yanzghu asked Lilian Mo why they had to retrieve stuff when everything had been stored in her space.

"Sister-in-law, why do we need to go and retrieve things that are in your space?"

Lilian Mo's tone was dry when she gave an answer. "A space ability user, while helpful in teams and gathering supplies, would also face suspicion. Because only the space ability user knows what is inside their space, they can steal rations without anyone knowing since it is entirely up to them what object can go in or out. In normal society, a person like this is the perfect thief."

Fu Yangzhu was confused for a few moments but he eventually got the point. He never thought about this and finally realized why Lilian Mo was very cautious when it came to her space and did not reveal much when she was asked before.

"I will take out some bags and pack them with supplies. Each of us will carry at least one bag so that we won't look suspicious. Undoubtedly, once we reach the base, they might ask us to hand over some supplies as an entrance fee but with those twins, maybe we won't have to. They said that I have an Uncle in the army... But I don't remember such a person. Anyway, being cautious will ensure our safety."

"Big sister Mo, would they make us tell them our abilities?" Lin Jiaojiao asked as she looked worriedly at Zhang Youji.

Fu Yangzhu glanced at him and was also a bit fearful for the child. It was easy to exploit this child's ability, because not only was he young but Zhang Youji was also very shy and timid. Furthermore, Fu Yanzghu was very uncomfortable with people finding out about their capabilities since the element of surprise would disappear.

Still, his worry for the Boss was greater than this. What would the Boss do if he was here? Fu Yangzhu fidgeted uncomfortably. They entered a room and Lilian Mo took out some things and asked them to help her sort them out.
