Chapter 720: Teddy and Justus Three Toes

In a secret hideout of thieves somewhere near Far Water Town, a heated discussion was ongoing.

"Boss, I don't want to do this anymore!"

"I hear that Prince Ronan is a skilled swordsman!"

"He even slaughtered more than 3 dozen knights all by himself!" A shrewd looking man cried in fear.

"What are you talking about, Teddy? All of those are nothing but rumors. And besides, you don't have to confront the prince at all.

All you need to do is sneak inside his house and get the bag of gold from him. Get it?" The leader of the thieves replied.

They were called the Justus Three Toes Bandit Group and were a small-time gang in the area.

"B – but boss..." The robber named Teddy wanted to argue some more but alas, he was slapped by the harsh voice of his leader.

"No buts! Just do it!" Justus Three Toes cut Teddy off. Justus Three Toes was of course the name of the leader.

"Okay, boss." Teddy had no choice but to obey.

"You can do it, Teddy!"

"We believe in you!"

"We'll drink and smoke for 3 days straight once you come back!" The thieves around Teddy tried to instill motivation in his soul.

One should know that Teddy had the quickest hand and the most silent feet of them all. If anyone could pull this job off successfully then it would be Teddy.

One day quickly passed and it was now high time for eve's turn to flourish. The night was deep and it was almost midnight once again.

"This kind of work is not easy at all." Teddy said to himself after he unburied himself from his makeshift hiding place in the remote part of town.

He had entered Far Water Town at noon and waited patiently there. Now was the ripe time to strike whatever crime he wanted inside. Night time was indeed a robber's close friend.

"..." Teddy crouched low as he retraced his steps on a familiar spot. He had of course scouted the place up earlier and he was not alone in this wish.

One should know that our bored gamer has become extremely famous today. Thus, it was very easy for Teddy to go along the masses who wished to see the face of this prince.

They failed to realize this wish in the end but that did not matter for Teddy. All he needed was the location and he got it pretty conveniently.

"DING!" Teddy tried to push the front door and found it locked. This did not dishearten this thief at all. He would have been surprised to see it unlocked in these dark witching hours.

"THUD!" A rope was expertly thrown in the second floor and Teddy used this to provide him entry into our good gamer's domain.

He tried to be sneaky about it and peered through the slightly parted windows of the house. What he saw almost made him scream like a baby.

"A thief in the night. What a novel idea." Our bored gamer softly said and Teddy his heart jumped out from right his chest.

"BANG!" Teddy did not even think twice about it and just directly came back to whence he came.

He had heard the stories about our avid gamer's deeds and so he did not want to lose his head in the process.

When he hit the ground, Teddy was wise enough to remain stealthy in his walk. He passed houses and heard the music of couples fucking around him but Teddy never looked back.

He only felt relief after he scaled down the tall wooden gates of Far Water Town using a long rope.

"I don't ever want to go back to this place again." Teddy vowed. After that, he ran back to his friends and readied himself for his boss' fury.

Two hours of peaceful walk later and Teddy found himself back in the camp. He was not surprised to see that most of the gang was still awake.

It did not need telling that they all were very eager to share the loot from him. Even the boss Justus Three Toes was still very much active in this late night.

"So where's the bag of gold, Teddy?" Justus Three Toes asked. The leader looked around and found only empty hands on Teddy.

"Boss... I failed. Prince Ronan was..." Teddy could not finish his words at this time.

"STUPID! That was our only chance! You should have known that..." Justus Three Toes exploded in anger. He did not want to listen for any reason whatsoever.

Since their target had already known their plan, trying to rob him again would more than triple the failure rate. Justus Three Toes ranted for quite awhile.

"Teddy. What the hell is that paper on your back?" An ugly looking man asked even while their boss was screaming his lungs out in order to vent his feelings.

"What paper?" Teddy asked in alarm. Unfortunately for him and everybody else around him, Teddy was not able to get his answer.

"BOOM!" A terrible detonation broke the night's stillness that totally demolished this den of thieves. More than 30 thieves died that night alone.

Only broken bodies and missing limbs were left of them after that burst of magical power.

"Hmmm... It has an impressive area of effect damage."

"These exploding paper talismans are definitely worth it." Clark nodded as he requested for Nancy to let him see the point of impact. He approved of the lethality of these talismans.

"I have only 9 of them remaining. But it doesn't matter. I also got a great pick earlier." Clark smiled when he remembered the list of choices on his second day in Far Water Town.

"DING!"

"Congratulations, host! You have stayed in Far Water Town for 24 hours, corresponding rewards will be given. Please choose."

1. Ability to fly

2. One Spirit Stone

3. Dragon Subduing Fist

Our bored gamer did not have to think for long at all.

"I choose..."
