Chapter 425 Pickpocket (2)



It took only a few seconds before a space had been created around 'Mu Bao Bao' and the corpse on the ground.

Everyone ran the moment that they saw this happen since not a single person wanted to get caught up in this.

They were here to watch the fun after all, they weren't here to risk their lives.

As for the three in the middle who had caused the commotion, the moment that they saw that the rogue was lying there on the ground as a corpse, they didn't waste any time. They immediately stopped fighting and turned to run with the crowd.

There was pandemonium that was created because of 'Mu Bao Bao's' action, everyone started running for their lives.

But 'Mu Bao Bao' didn't care about any of this, as her eyes moved through the crowd.

It didn't take long before she found what she was looking for.

It was the other man of the mercenary group.

The three of them had split up and ran off in different directions. This man had tried to blend into the crowd and was currently running with the rest of the people.

However, that didn't matter as 'Mu Bao Bao's' eyes fell right onto him.

This man felt a chill run down his spine, but he didn't turn around to find where this chill came from. Instead, he just started running faster than before, running as fast as his legs could carry him.

Unfortunately for him, 'Mu Bao Bao' wasn't planning on letting him escape at all.

She immediately disappeared from the spot she had been standing in and then when she reappeared, she was right above this man.

The man had more combat experience than the rogue, so he immediately turned around when she appeared above him.

When he turned, he pulled out the sword that he had been hiding and swung it up towards her. At the same time, 'Mu Bao Bao' also swung the sword that she had in her hand down at him.

When the two swords collided with one another, there was no resistance at all. 'Mu Bao Bao's' sword just cut right through the man's sword like it was made of butter and then she cut off his arm that had been holding that sword.

The man immediately fell over and started spurting out blood onto the ground beside him.

As he fell, he let out a cry of pain while holding the stump where his arm had once been.

After landing on the ground, the man gritted his teeth and wanted to grab his sword that had dropped with his remaining hand. It was just too bad that he didn't have the chance to do this as a sword was placed at his neck.

If he moved even the slightest, it would have pierced through and killed him.

As for the owner of this sword, it was naturally 'Mu Bao Bao'.

The man still had enough space to move his neck so that he was looking right at her.

With a defiant look, he said, "Do you really think that you can do whatever you want? There are laws in this place and if you do something like this, you will be punished by those laws. I can hear the guards coming now. I would run away if I were you."

He was hoping that she would be scared off by this, but he didn't have that much hope.

After all, she had already killed the rogue of their group, so it was clear that she didn't have much fear.

'Mu Bao Bao' just ignored this and looked down at this man with cold eyes, not replying to what he had just said.

After a while, she finally said, "Where are the other two?"

When the man heard this, he couldn't help feeling a trace of shock in his heart.

But he forced himself to calm down before saying, "I have no idea what you are talking about."

Even if he was facing death, he wasn't about to sell out his friends. That was the bond that had been forged between them after many years of working together.

'Mu Bao Bao' didn't say a thing as she just looked at this man after hearing this. It was like she was lost deep in thought.

The man couldn't help feeling tense when he saw this, but he knew that he shouldn't just keep sitting there without doing anything. With the rate that his arm was bleeding, it was only a matter of time that he died from blood loss.

So the man opened his mouth as if he was about to say something…it was just too bad that 'Mu Bao Bao' didn't give him that chance.

Before the man could react, he felt a sudden sharp pain in his neck.

As he looked down in disbelief, he found that 'Mu Bao Bao's' hand was a bit closer to him.

He then realized that she had stabbed her sword into his neck without a single care. It was as if she really didn't care if she got any information from him.

The man's eyes were still wide open in disbelief as she pulled her sword out of his neck and he fell to the ground.

As the final bit of life drained out of his body, the man could only feel regret over choosing to use this plan. If they had used the other plan, then perhaps things wouldn't have gone so poorly.I think you should take a look at

But at the same time, he couldn't help wondering…

Just where had it all gone wrong?

…

A person ran through the alley before suddenly tripping on seemingly nothing.

As he fell onto the ground, he raised up the sand of the path under him, but he didn't react at all to this. Instead, he looked around himself as if he was expecting to see something, but there was nothing that appeared.

Finally, after a long while, this person let out a sigh of relief and sat down against the wall of this alley.

He just looked at the ground in front of him with eyes that were filled with…regret.

This was the bearded man who had escaped from that scene by running as fast as he could. He didn't even look back to see if his comrades had escaped, he had only thought about getting out of there as quickly as possible, which had filled him with shame.

Now that he had gotten out of that place, he could only feel even more shame and regret at having abandoned his companions.

But at the same time, he couldn't help wondering…just what had gone wrong?

There shouldn't have been anything that they hadn't accounted for, so why had 'Mu Bao Bao' suddenly attacked the rogue?

No matter how he thought about it, he just couldn't think of what had gone wrong.

At the same time, he had no idea what he should do next…

Before he could think of anything, there was a sound that came from in front of him.

It was the sound of something hitting the ground before rolling towards him.

When the bearded man looked up, his eyes filled with shock and horror.

That was because right in front of him was a head, but it wasn't just any head. It was the head of the woman from his mercenary group.

Her eyes and mouth were wide open in fear, as if this was the last emotion that she felt before dying.

Then before he could do anything, there was a figure that landed in front of him.

When the bearded man looked up, he found that it was 'Mu Bao Bao' who was currently standing there in front of him. The moment that he saw her, he felt a chill run down his spine and he didn't know what to do.

But after thinking about it, he gave a sigh of defeat and asked, "How did you know?"

'Mu Bao Bao' didn't attack right away like she did before as she just stood there over the bearded man. She looked down at him and asked, "Who sent you?"

When the bearded man heard this, he couldn't help feeling confused.

But he still shook his head and said, "We don't work for anyone. We just came for the bounty."

'Mu Bao Bao' looked down at the bearded man with narrowed eyes before saying, "Did you really think that I wouldn't notice rats like you sneaking around?"

The bearded man couldn't help revealing a bitter smile when he heard this.

As a mercenary, he had already thought about his own death many times. He had thought of many different ways that he would die in the end, but he never thought that he would die like a dog like this.

He had always thought that he would go out in a blaze of glory and not die in some alley like this.

But there was nothing that he could do.

He already knew that he was completely outmatched and there was nothing that he could do to escape.

So he just accepted his death.

At the same time, he started thinking back about his life.

He thought of his regrets, one of which was Yi Xue who he had abandoned all those years ago.

At this moment, he thought that it would be nice to see her one last time.

'Mu Bao Bao' raised her sword as if she was about to kill him…

But before she could, there was a figure that suddenly came out and stood in front of him.

This figure had their arms raised as they said, "You'll have to go through me if you want to kill him."
