Chương 481: Chapter 480 Permit?
"Hu—!"
Amidst a chilly gust of wind, a petite figure leaped down from the rooftop, landing steadily on the ground.
This was a dim alley located beside the main street.
The lighting in the alley was not as bright as the main street outside; shadows dominated the area, making it difficult to see the scene from the outside. However, upon entering, one could still discern the person who had jumped down from the nearby rooftop into this alley.
It was a girl around 13-14 years old.
The girl possessed shoulder-length golden hair, albeit with a somewhat dull hue, lacking the dazzling brilliance. In this racially diverse Another World, she appeared rather unremarkable.
However, aside from the slightly dull golden hair, the girl also had a pair of red eyes that exuded a hint of tenacity, giving off the vibe of an aggressively cute rabbit. Coupled with her not bad-looking face, she could be considered very cute.
Upon closer inspection, a curved knife was strapped to the girl's lower back.
A dagger.
As for the attire of this cute girl, it was somewhat plain, appearing worn-out yet extremely lightweight.
Observing this image, one might first think of a mercenary or a thief, right?
In reality, the girl was indeed a thief.
"Finally got it smoothly."
A voice filled with a bit of joy echoed in the narrow alley.
Subsequently, the girl took something out of her bosom.
It was an insignia.
The size was just right to be tucked into the pocket of an upper garment.
The material couldn't be determined, but the craftsmanship was exquisite, resembling a winged dragon in flight, presenting an appearance akin to a dragon's head. At the center of this insignia, a bright red jewel was embedded.
The red jewel emitted a faint glow, giving it an appearance of considerable value. It's no wonder the girl decided to steal it.
"While they haven't caught up yet, I need to leave quickly."
The girl displayed extraordinary confidence in this matter.
Although she had a petite stature and was a thief, the aspect where the girl held absolute confidence was in her speed.
Therefore, if it came down to a mere escape, the girl believed that no one should be able to catch up with her.
Unfortunately, this confidence was soon shattered.
Just as the girl was preparing to leave, a voice suddenly resounded.
"Wait for me!"
It was a voice filled with righteousness.
"—!"
The girl's heart jolted suddenly, turning to look towards the rooftop of a nearby building. In the place where the young girl had just passed, at some point, a tall figure stood with his back to the sun, hands folded in front, overlooking the alley from a high vantage point, catching the girl's eyes.
"You...?!"
The girl couldn't help but take a step back, a cautious vigilance emerging in her eyes.
(When did he appear?)
The girl hadn't noticed when this person appeared there, and he was standing on the rooftop she had just passed.
Coupled with his towering figure, righteous speech, and commanding posture from above, the girl almost instantly felt a sense of fear towards him.
In such a situation, he lowered his head, gazing at the girl's figure. With an absolute tone that allowed no room for retort, he solemnly began to speak.
"You've done something unforgivable..."
This sentence made the girl's heart skip a beat, and the hand clutching the insignia tightened.
Something unforgivable?
Well, that was true.
In the eyes of someone with a strong sense of justice, a thief like the girl committing a steal would naturally be deemed unforgivable. Although the person confronting her wasn't the owner of the stolen item, he was undoubtedly someone formidable, ready to draw his sword in the face of injustice.
The girl tightly held the insignia, retreating without a trace, simultaneously contemplating without the slightest hesitation.
(Must escape...)
If the opponent could silently catch up to her, engaging in a battle would be irrational. Therefore, the only option for the girl was to escape.
However, just as the girl was preparing to escape at her proud speed, the tall figure on the rooftop coldly chuckled.
"Do you think you can escape? Do you think I would allow it?"
—!
This easily discerned intention shattered the girl's thoughts, causing her delicate body to tremble. Her red eyes fluctuated with inner turmoil.
(Seen through... This is bad...)
(What to do?)
(What should I do?)
Anxiety filled the girl's heart, creating a tense atmosphere in the air.
At this moment, on the rooftop, the imposing righteous figure extended his hand, pointing at the girl, and spoke loudly.
"Since you've summoned me to this Another World, you must take responsibility. Escaping is absolutely unforgivable!"
When these words echoed in the air, the tense atmosphere dissipated suddenly, replaced by a somewhat subtle ambiance.
The girl's body had completely stiffened.
Staring at the earthy-looking youth on the rooftop, who seemed indignant, the girl remained dumbfounded for quite some time, only to react after a while.
"Huh?"
An absurd sound escaped her lips.
At this moment, the girl noticed another figure appearing behind the youth.
"Bang—!"
With a stifling sound, a foot heavily kicked the uncouth youth from behind, sending him plummeting from the rooftop.
"OoohOooh—!"
Amidst the cry, the uncouth youth, resembling discarded trash, crashed onto the ground. Moreover, it was a face-first landing, causing him to howl in pain and roll on the ground.
Only at this point did the other figure leap down from the rooftop, landing beside the rolling youth. With an apologetic smile towards the girl, he spoke.
"Sorry about him acting stupid. If you ignore him, everything will be fine."
Hearing this, the girl fell into silence. Her eyes twitched, feeling an impulse as if she had banged her head against a wall.
That she would think such a person was a highly righteous expert was truly embarrassing.
Unfortunately, this thought was quickly shattered.
The youth with the awkward expression suddenly grinned and spoke.
"Though that's the case, I didn't come here to let you witness this fool's stupid actions. Though somewhat apologetic, this thing now belongs to me."
As he said this, he opened his hand towards the girl.
In that hand lay an insignia.
Precisely the insignia the girl had stolen.
