Funina, please let me steal your heart!

Before he finished speaking, a cry of surprise came from the crowd.

"What? You received a warning letter from the Phantom Thief!?"

Hmm? A notice?

Luna didn't remember who she had sent the preview letter to these days. After all, there wasn't even a treasure worth looking at, so it wasn't the turn of the thief to appear.

Chizhi glanced at the crowd and said, "It looks like the business of Kaito White Cat is very busy."

"Yes."

Before the treasure was found, a fake one came.

But that’s okay, let’s let her, the real thief, see what’s going on.

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

The ball was over, and Luna, Chizhi, and Navia found the nobles who were surrounded by others.

It was this nobleman who made the sound just now, and the woman next to him was tightly holding a card.

"It's really a notice letter..." Navia said in surprise.

She stepped in: "Can you let me take a look?"

"Ah, it's Miss Navia, of course you can, please..."

The woman handed the card to Navia.

Luna leaned over to take a look. The style of the card was the same as the one she used, but she could tell at a glance that it was deliberately imitated to look like her preview letter.

They actually forged a warning letter from a Phantom Thief.

Was he planning to use it for some "good thing"? Luna began to wonder.

She glanced at the two of them.

"Who are you two?"

"I am the current head of the Frontlet family, Glen Frontlet. This is my wife."

The woman nodded slightly: "Hello, Miss Luna, I am Al Frontlet..."

Franlette? Never heard of him. Maybe he was a minor noble.

Navia looked at the preview letter carefully for a while, then shook her head: "This is not the preview letter from the White Cat Thief."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because I've seen what her teaser letter looks like."

Navia said firmly: "It is true that the style and font you used are very similar to the thief's, but it doesn't have her feeling. This is a fake notice letter!"

Al Frontlet's expression changed slightly and he was speechless for a moment.

"Feeling? Did you make this decision based on your feeling?" Glen Front asked.

"Yes. The preview letter from the White Cat Thief has a...how should I put it, a very arrogant feeling!"

Luna nodded in agreement: "Indeed."

Gran snorted: "This is just your feeling. I tell you, this is absolutely-"

His sleeves were pulled.

"Dear, let me tell you."

"....good."

Ai'er said seriously: "Maybe Miss Navia, you are right, but it is also true that I received this warning letter. There is no doubt that someone wants to seize our family's treasure - the 'Yanyu Cup'."

Navia nodded, agreeing with this statement.

"But what is the Yanyu Cup?" she asked.

"The Yanyu Cup is a treasure our father once obtained in Liyue. It was made by a master craftsman in Liyue based on the style of the cup that Prince Yan once used, adding modern art to it."

[Discovered treasure information: Rock Jade Cup]

Now the real thief smelled something.

"I heard that a man named Zhongli, who is also a well-known critic in the industry, once praised its exquisiteness. Although it is a bit exaggerated, the craftsmanship is exquisite and it is a rare work."

Since Prince Zhenyan said it was good, it is indeed really good.

[Treasure information has been updated]

Ai Er sighed, "It's no surprise that such a priceless treasure would attract evil hands."

Navia couldn't help but wonder, that is to say, maybe someone disguised himself as the White Cat Thief and wanted to steal the treasure?

If they really did it, they could frame the Phantom Thief White Cat.

However, the Phantom Thief White Cat himself committed a crime and is not innocent.

"...I understand. Let us, the Thorn Rose Society, protect this treasure!"

"May I?"

Navia pressed her chest and smiled, "Of course! The Thorn Rose Society and the White Cat Thief also have a debt to settle."

"But according to what you said, maybe it wasn't the White Cat Thief who came, but someone else disguised as the White Cat Thief."

"That's impossible," Gran said suddenly.

Luna asked with interest: "Why are you so sure?"

"That's what I know! Someone so bold can only be the Phantom Thief White Cat!"

He stammered and couldn't explain clearly, but his tone was strangely firm.

It seemed certain that the Phantom Thief White Cat would come.

No, it has to come.

.....Hmm. Luna was thoughtful, she already had some guesses in her mind, just waiting for further verification.

Navia also found it strange, but she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she simply communicated with the two of them. After confirming their address, she and Luna returned to their original place.

"By the way, where's Chiori? We obviously came here together."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qianzhi came over.

"The Frontrets are a fallen family," she said.

"Where did you go just now?" Navia asked.

"I asked around for a while and felt that Navia would help them. This is just to be on the safe side." Qianzhi said in a flat tone, as if she was just doing a simple task.

Navia was moved and said, "Qianzhi, you are so nice!"

"It's just a deal. You have to repay this favor later."

"You're being so arrogant again." Luna laughed.

"I'm neither arrogant nor spoiled. As for the matter of the ball, I will settle the score with you later."

"Wow, so petty!"

Qianzhi smiled, as if this was a compliment to her. Of course, if someone else said this to her, her expression would be different.

She briefly shared the information she had heard.

The Frontlet family's business operations have failed one after another, and they have fallen into decline and their reputation has plummeted.

It's simply the end of the road.

So what would these nobles do in this situation?

bet.

Navia's eyes widened slightly: "Could it be that they are betting that the Phantom Thief will come?"

"It should be said that we are inviting the Phantom Thief to come over." Luna said with a smile.

40: Girlfriend during the day, enemy at night

The next day, inside the Frontlet family mansion.

Although they were nobles, the Frontlet family's mansion was undoubtedly poor among the noble mansions Navia had seen.

Some awkward gaps indicate that this mansion may have once contained many valuable works of art, but they have all been sold with the family's decline.

Caused by poor management.

Navia pulled Luna's finger and asked in a low voice: "Is that really the case?"

"Well, roughly speaking."

Although the Frontlet family only invited Navia, they agreed to let the "detective" Luna accompany them at Navia's firm request.

After getting Luna's affirmation, Navia said bluntly:

"You want the Phantom Thief to come and steal your cups, right?"

The sound was not loud, but it caused the couple who were leading the way to stop.

Just as Gran was about to speak, Elle motioned for her to do it instead.

"I can't hide it from you two."

"You admitted it."

".....But there is a reason for this." Ai'er sighed softly.

Luna said with interest: "It's not hard to infer - you want to use the white cat thief, right?"

Use the Phantom Thief.

This sounds incredible and bold, but considering their family's current predicament, this speculation is not unreasonable.

"...Why do you say that?" Ai'er said calmly.

Luna said softly, "Because your family has fallen into decline and is in a lot of debt. The poor management of the family business has caused you to lose a lot of Mora, and you are in urgent need of a lifeline."

"This life-saving straw is the Phantom Thief, or more precisely, the reputation of the Phantom Thief."

Navia nodded.

After discussing with Luna, she already understood the whole story.

"You forged the Phantom Thief's warning letter, trying to attract the attention of the Phantom Thief White Cat by spreading the news of the treasure while attracting other people's attention. But you were already prepared."

They want to "fight" with the Phantom Thief.

Attract attention, gain traffic, and if you win you can step on the thieves and become a celebrity in Fontainebleau.

Countless ways to make money will open up for them, and even a pig can take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

Lost? Naturally, you would lose everything and become a laughing stock.

But their purpose is to gamble, and they are at the end of their rope anyway.

I've reached the bottom, and there's no way I can get any lower.

Gran said confidently at this time: "Exactly!"

There is no need to hide anything anymore.

Since they want the Thorn Rose Society to assist them, they should naturally provide the necessary information.

But his words were full of disdain: "Phantom Thief, Phantom Thief, Phantom Thief...Now everyone in Fontaine is talking about that thief, without caring about those of us who work diligently!"

"It is only natural to do this in order to draw the public's attention back to us poor people."

Luna smiled but said nothing.

People who say this often do a lot of shady things behind the scenes, but she has seen it so many times that she is too lazy to pay attention.

Want to take advantage of her?

It depends on whether they have the ability to dance with the wolves.
