Funina, please let me steal your heart!

108: A true thief does not need to prove himself

The real thief?

Paimon cautiously poked his head out and then his eyes widened.

"Ying, come and see!" She waved her little hand.

Ying's head soon popped out from above her.

Looking over the crowd and to a higher place, one can see a figure with shawl and golden hair flowing.

Even from a distance, I could vaguely catch a glimpse of the smile on her lips.

That's the Phantom Thief...

The figure bathed in the moonlight seemed to be covered with a layer of light, making it difficult to look directly at it.

"Phantom Thief White Cat!"

"When did you change into your clothes?"

Luna pursed her lips: "Disappointing."

"what?"

She said loudly, "I am really disappointed with your performance! You mistook a foreign guest for me and tortured this lovely lady."

"Since you are so blind, why don't you show me all the treasures and let me prove their value and glory to you?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Misunderstanding? Wasn't that the Phantom Thief?

This curse is too harsh. Don’t you have good taste?

"It's obviously you who has done so much evil! If the Phantom Thief White Cat didn't exist, how could we have misunderstood others?"

"The Phantom Thief is the real culprit!"

"Go to jail!"

Curses were heard one after another, buried in the crowd, but all they got were people's confused expressions, and they all looked to the side.

"But didn't the Phantom Thief do some good things too..."

"What's going on with these people?"

"Who is this helper? Give me 5000 Mora and I will help you shout!"

Navia and Xiawolei also arrived at the scene at this time, looking surprised.

Navia was puzzled and asked: "What's going on..."

Xiawolei narrowed her eyes and waved her hand, asking Tirena to come over.

“Remember these people.”

"Eh? What the captain means is...ah, I understand!" Tirena hurried to convey it to other team members.

This malice did not arise without cause, but was premeditated.

Bribery, building momentum, and then using public opinion to overwhelm the enemy. This is a very common method, and voice can also be used as a weapon - but Xiawolei thought that they picked the wrong person.

The Phantom Thief who claims to be righteous will certainly be affected by it.

But the Phantom Thief White Cat never considers himself righteous, nor will he accept anyone's expectations.

She doesn't carry anything on her shoulders and is responsible to only one person.

That is herself.

"What's going on? It feels like the wind direction has changed. It's completely distorted." Paimon muttered.

I thought I was going to start the self-proof phase, but it suddenly turned into a one-sided denunciation of the Phantom Thief. It was like a pair of hands pushing me down.

"Someone wants the Phantom Thief to disappear."

Linnie walked over to them.

"Huh? Why? The Phantom Thief should just steal things, right?" Paimon asked in surprise.

"Conflict of interest." Linnet said softly.

"You stole the treasures of the Frontlet family and the treasures of the Cabriere Chamber of Commerce. Who knows if you will steal our things next time!"

"...That makes sense."

"Yeah! A sinner like you shouldn't be standing here!"

"What about the security team and the special patrol team?"

The sounds gradually accumulated and became louder, noisy and harsh.

But Navia looked at Luna's face, her expression illuminated by the moonlight was clearly visible, and even with the mask on, she could still see her expression clearly.

A calm and elegant smile.

It seems that it is not shaken by any sound.

Under her silent gaze, the sound seemed to be erased bit by bit, and a strange silence descended on the scene. This was not shock, but more like pure... praise.

"I'm glad you all hate evil so much," Luna said finally.

She's not angry?

"As you all said, I will steal more treasures in the future, regardless of identity, status, past, or whether your future will be affected."

Someone swallowed.

"But let me just say: boring."

"They cower in dark corners, colluding with each other, wanting to get everything they want but not daring to reveal their true identity. They can only resort to methods that are not to be feared, in an attempt to crush the light that can burn their eyes."

"You are nothing but a lowly, shameful, pathetic, ridiculous maggot. How can you think you can look me in the face, or even destroy me?"

"If you can muster up the courage to step onto the stage that belongs to me, I can offer you the highest level of etiquette."

"But it's a pity that you dare not even look at the glory of the sinners, and you are even more afraid of being swallowed up and destroyed, so you can only fill the gun with false justice..."

Luna slowly raised her hand.

What did she want to do? Chavore frowned.

However, she just pointed it towards the sky. Clouds floated by gently, hiding the hazy moonlight, and the scenery seen by the naked eye became dim.

Even though the street lights were still on, her face couldn't be seen clearly.

Bang! Suddenly, a strong light came on, shining directly into the crowd... or more precisely, directly onto some individuals.

They are the "voice speakers" who have just infiltrated the group.

In an instant, they became the focus of everyone else's attention, and the crowd slowly moved out of the light's reach.

Where did the light come from?

After taking a closer look, Navia asked in surprise: "Rock element?"

That is the stage installation constructed by rock elements.

"It's already five elements..." Xia Wulei murmured.

Is he getting stronger, or did he never use his full strength from the beginning?

Their expressions were grim under the light - how did this guy catch us so accurately?

"But that doesn't work for me."

Luna hooked her finger, and the lighting device changed direction, and the light fell on her again.

"Please don't forget my appearance at this moment, and engrave it in your heart! Then you will find that no one can match my brilliance!"

"There is only one Phantom Thief White Cat in this world!"

No one can match her brilliance. This statement is really an exaggeration.

But we have to deny that this may be the case.

The only ones who can compete with her now are Fontaine’s two brightest stars, Funina and Luna.

As a result, no one will admit their mistakes anymore.

Because its brilliance is unique.

"And I will accept all your treasures. Look forward to my letter of warning." Luna bowed slightly and then turned around.

With a snap of his fingers, the stage curtain fell, hiding her back.

In the blink of an eye, she completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

And the curtain quickly dissipated in the air.

All that remains is the memory of that upright and dazzling figure.

She was indeed an out-and-out villain, but for some reason, she felt a stinging pain in her eyes and ears when she thought of her posture and words just now.

Not far away, Funina sighed, "What a strange person."

Clorinde said expressionlessly: "He is a 'strange' thief after all."

Furninna also became expressionless.

................

"I'm very sorry. After confirmation, you are indeed an honorary knight of the Knights of Favonius, an elite of the Adventurers' Guild... We made a mistake in execution this time."

In response to the security team's apology, Ying had no intention of pursuing the matter further.

Of course, she could sense that things might not be peaceful inside the law enforcement court. Rather than making a big deal out of it, it would be better to just let it go and avoid getting into trouble.

"Just know."

After accepting the compensation from the security team, Ying seemed to be thinking about something.

"It's great that the misunderstanding has been resolved. This is all thanks to Linny and Linnet who I just met. They are such nice people!"

Paimon paused, and then said delicately: "Although it is mainly because of the style of the White Cat Thief, no one can imitate it..."

This was the first time she had seen such a dazzling sinner.

And what he said was very refreshing.

"What's wrong with you, Ying?" Paimon noticed Ying's deep thought and couldn't help asking.

"Fontaine may not be very peaceful."

"Indeed... But if you want to know about your brother, you can only go to the water god, right? I don't know how to meet her."

A voice suddenly sounded: "If you don't mind, come and watch our performance?"

Turning around, I saw Linny and Linnet approaching.

"It is fate to meet a famous traveler. In a few days, we will have a magic show at the opera house, and Lady Funina will come to watch it."

Paimon suddenly realized: "Then find a chance to meet her!"

"It's difficult to meet Lady Finina, but Luna might be able to help you make the connection. Tell her that we introduced her, and she will understand." Linnie said with a smile.

"Ms. Luna and Finina have a good relationship?"

"At least he's an actor that Lady Funina likes." Linnet said in an inexplicably low voice.

Is this a wrong question? Paimon shrank his head.

Ying nodded, then folded her hands: "Thank you for your help at that time, but I still want to ask you a question."

"Please say."

"You know the true identity of the Phantom Thief White Cat, right?"

Linny and Linnet looked at each other, then nodded slowly together.

"Yes, she is our family, but... for some reason, she no longer associates with us. As for the rest, please forgive me for not being able to answer."

Ying's expression relaxed a little.
