252 Chapter 252 - Lasting Sentence and Dying Breath’s Final Location (2/2)

”Especially after they met you,” Xi Xiaotian chuckled.

”He's rather unlucky; perhaps, it's better for him to find another line of work!” Gu Fei said apathetically.

”Seems you're looking for me for another matter…” Xi Xiaotian was quick on the uptake as she immediately realized that Gu Fei did not plan to continue serving justice on the organization.

”Yeah. Actually, Nightmare of Death dropped equipment when he got killed yesterday. The thing is I have no idea where he looted such precious equipment,” Gu Fei began.

”So you're looking for the owner to return the equipment?”

Gu Fei nodded his head in confirmation.

”You're really too righteous. Looking at you sitting on your high horse makes me feel so very small,” Xi Xiaotian sounded sarcastic, yet her face remained expressionless, making it difficult to guess her real thoughts.

”The item. What is it?” Xi Xiaotian asked.

Gu Fei nonchalantly took one of the two top-grade daggers out and handed it over to her.

Xi Xiaotian glanced at it before asking, ”Aren't you afraid that I'll run off with this dagger?”

”Nope…” Gu Fei was holding a sword in his hand.

”Killing me won't do you any good; I've still got the dagger on me,” Xi Xiaotian taunted.

”Run off, then!” Gu Fei merely smiled.

Xi Xiaotian did not move and instead returned the dagger to him, ”I've never seen this equipment before.”

”Oh?” While Gu Fei sounded skeptical, he knew that she had no reason to hide this matter from him.

”I believe only Xiaocan can tell you where he got the equipment,” Xi Xiaotian said.

”What do you mean by that?” Gu Fei asked.

”I can confidently say that I know most, if not all, of the equipment that they've managed to loot. And yet, I've never seen this green-tier equipment before. It must have intentionally been hidden by someone. According to you, Nightmare of Death has dropped it. In that case, it's very likely that he has kept this for himself,” Xi Xiaotian explained.

”Does that mean only he knows who dropped it?”

”Mhm. It is also possible that he has not looted it from anyone. They are an organization of professional scammers. They only target players after ascertaining that they have valuable equipment in them. In such a situation, it's just not possible for any of them to stash away equipment without the knowledge of others,” Xi Xiaotian continued to say.

”Perhaps, it's something they have no prior knowledge of, and it accidentally dropped when the person got killed?” Gu Fei proposed.

”The only reason someone won't use this sort of top-grade gear is when he or she plans to sell it. Since that person wasn't planning to use it, why would he or she leave such precious equipment in the dimensional pocket instead of putting it in the warehouse for safekeeping?” Xi Xiaotian reasoned.

”That makes sense. What do you make of it, then?”

”Maybe, he got it from fighting a Boss or a chance drop from a quest, which Xiaocan decided to greedily keep for himself. I don't think there's a need for me to explain his reasoning for doing such a thing!”

”Yeah, I get it.” Gu Fei nodded his head.

”That's why I think only Xiaocan can tell you who the original owner is. Do what you will with this information!” Xi Xiaotian finished.

”Guess that means I'm the owner of it now. He he…” Gu Fei declared while looking at the dagger in his hand.

”Aren't you lucky? Okay, I'm leaving now. See you tomorrow,” Xi Xiaotian said.

”Tomorrow?” Gu Fei asked, nonplussed.

”Tomorrow is the finals for the mercenary PvP tournament, right?”

”Oh? Are you in The Black Hand mercenary group?” Gu Fei was surprised.

”Hmph. You better be careful. I'm very despicable,” Xi Xiaotian raised her hand and made a killing gesture toward Gu Fei before turning to leave.

”Despicable, huh…” Gu Fei repeated to himself.
