Chapter 587: Can You Be More Shameless? (2)

Someone’s evil claw had reached the capital again after half a year of peace.

Overnight, almost all the wealthy families in the capital had fallen victim. A large number of gold coins had disappeared without any trace. At the same time, none of the valuable items were missing.

The two ent.i.ties that suffered the most were the treasury and the largest bank in the capital.

The wealthy families in the capital were hopping mad the next day. Resentful, all of them offered a reward to capture that unethical thief. They even insisted on beating the thief to their death.

The unethical thief had gone to a shop and spent generously; she bought ten interspatial rings with one hundred cubic meters’ storage s.p.a.ce. Then, she headed toward the market.

When she entered a store, she would wave her hand and point to various store items. “Not this, not this, not this. Wrap up all the others for me!”

No one had seen such a squanderer. She would not haggle the prices either, so the store owners were delighted.

She had bought out five herbal stores and seven clothing stores. Not even a single grain could be found in any of the 12 stores that sold grain. Even the three weapon stores did not have a single dagger.

It was a magical day. The wealthy families ransacked by the thief wept, while the store owners who sold everything in their storage laughed out loud.

Some were happy, and others were sad.

Even when she squandered like that, Shen Yanxiao only filled two interspatial rings.

The stores’ inventories were limited. It was not easy to get everything she needed. As such, Shen Yanxiao had to look for the four beasts who came back with her.

Shen Yanxiao invited her friends, plus an extra family member, to the most luxurious restaurant in the capital.

As they sat in the elegant, extravagant suite, the four friends stared at Shen Yanxiao, who shone with happiness.

“Last night, it was you, right?” Tang Nazhi squinted his eyes. He phrased his words into a question as he looked at the grinning Shen Yanxiao, but he was sure of the answer.

“It must be you.” Yang Xi was sure about it.

“That was just ferocious.” Yan Yu shook his head as he sighed.

Qi Xia smiled. It was rare that he did not utter any sarcastic comments.

Li Xiaowei was confused by their mysterious words.

“What are you talking about?” he asked.

Tang Nazhi put one hand on his brother’s shoulder and said, “Last night, another 230 wealthy families in this capital had their money closet robbed. The total loss amounts to over 50 million gold coins.”

“Over… 50 million gold coins?” Li Xiaowei gulped. He had grown up as a commoner. He had never seen five thousand gold coins, let alone 50 million gold coins.

“Who did that?” Li Xiaowei asked.

For a moment, the other people simultaneously darted a look at Shen Yanxiao, who was picking up food with her chopsticks.

Li Xiaowei blinked. He found it hard to believe.

“You are not saying…”

Before Li Xiaowei could finish his words, he suddenly saw Shen Yanxiao lifting her other hand. A transparent crystal pendant dangled in her hand.

Li Xiaowei’s face darkened.

The pendant was given to him by his and Tang Nazhi’s father after he returned to the Black Tortoise Family…
