章 165: FIGHT FOR THE SWORD

Both Veronica and the shopkeeper came up with a plan after seeing a sword. They halted and looked at each other. Their eyes locked. Both knew that they were after the same object.

The two of them dashed toward the sword at the same time. At the exact time, they reached there and grabbed the sword. The sword had a decorative sheath. The shopkeeper laid his hand on the upper side of the scabbard and Veronica seized the lower part of the scabbard. They started to pull the sword toward them with all their might. 

Both realized the one who got the sword would win - that's why none of them let go of the scabbard. The poor sword was being pulled on both sides.

On the other side, Catherine was being cornered by the tall guy. When she had nowhere to run, she got close to Veronica. She saw that her friend was trying hard to get the sword.
