Chapter 385 Stealing The Swords

"Wha--no!? What do you mean no?" Ounis quickly retorted in shock.

"Calm down... what I mean is, we don't have it in stock any longer. I'm sure you of all people can understand right, since you liked it so much?" The bald guy smirked.

It was clear to Lyrian that everyone here knew what was going on but refused to speak about it openly.

That was when Lyrian was finished with the conversation, 'This isn't going anywhere...'

"Alright, let's go look at some other swords then," Lyrian said, turning and walking toward the weapons section of the marquee.n-(0veLb1n

Ounis confusedly followed after him after a short pause, as the bald man behind the stall looked at them while gritting his teeth.

As Lyrian pretended to look at a sword a bit away from the stall, he said to Ounis in a low tone, "Call that guy over here. I'll go check out what he has in the stall in the meantime."

"Wh--what!? Isn't that illegal?" Ounis exclaimed, slightly taken aback by Lyrian's proposal.

At that moment, Lyrian slowly looked at him with an unimpressed face.

"Do you know where we are right now? The air we breathe is illegal in this place... stop whining like a little bitch and just go do it." Lyrian turned back toward the sword he was fake looking at.

"For such an arrogant fat noble, I wouldn't take you for such a coward. Guess an easy life brews the weakest of men..."

Hearing this, Ounis gathered himself and turned around, walking toward the stall.

In the next few moments, Lyrian walked even farther away from the weapon he was originally looking at.

At that point, he was almost at the other side of the marquee.

Ounis led the bald man there to check out the weapon, and as they arrived, Lyrian told them that he had to go take a wee and left.

As Ounis continued talking to the bald man could the weapon that Lyrian was looking at, the man stared at Lyrian until he was gone from his sight.

He then lightly tapped something in his ear before resuming conversation with Ounis about the sword.

"What did you do? Did he have the swords?" Ounis quickly asked him.

"Yeah... he had them. I took them from him." Lyrian nonchalantly said.

"What? Why? ..."

"Well, you'll see." Lyrian continued in his indifferent tone.

After a few minutes of walking, Lyrian came to the hidden, dark alleyway between two large marquees and quickly entered it.

"Huh? What are you planning here, Lyrian?" Ounis said, not a clue what was going on.

Before long, loud footsteps were heard stomping through the streets, as a voice yelled out, "Get back here, you damn thieves! I'll have you hung! You thought you could get away with it that easily!?"

Lyrian smiled in hearing this, as Ounis saw this cunning expression and quickly retorted, "He's coming! We must run!"

"Just watch..." Lyrian said, "Taking something that could endanger his reputation like this would prompt him to act on emotion. He wouldn't think of bringing any bodyguards which would draw more attention to him."

"Attention is what this is about? He's yelling through the street that there are thieves!" Ounis replied.

"That won't cause anyone to bat an eye... especially not here in the black market."

Ounis was slightly taken aback to hear this, 'This kid... he's planned all of this out!?'

At that moment, the bald man walked in front of the alley, looking left and right violently.

He stopped as he saw Lyrian and Ounis in the alleyway,

and quickly stormed forward.

"You thought you could hide here!?" He yelled in anger.

Lyrian said in a low tone, "As I said, he didn't bring any guards. Now, he is away from his shop, and also with no one around as a witness. Perfect."

Ounis stared at Lyrian with a puzzled gaze, 'Just what in the world is he planning on doing!?'
