Chapter 340: Lord Cais Suspicion (1/2)

Lord Cai nodded his head in agreement. He was also wondering the same thing and couldn't figure out the cultivation base of the thief. Him being able to easily break through the formation like that and exploding a wall was not something he would have ever imagined.

”So what did he steal… or rather, what did he come to steal?” Pei Lao asked again.

”Hmm, that is what I am unsure about too. When I discovered him he was in my bed room and was standing quite close to me. I have no idea how he got inside in the first place, despite the alarming formations. We couldn't find what he came to steal either.” Lord Cai answered.

”Senior brother, to get past these formations one would need special spirit tools.” Tie Dan spoke.

”Indeed, and he says the thief did not steal anything either… perhaps his aim was something else.” The senior brother replied and looked at Lord Cai with a knowing look.

”I had that thought as well. But the strange thing is, not one of my servants or guards were killed, even if they were injured.” Lord Cai answered.

”What? Even after you attacked him?” Tie Dan questioned, feeling doubtful.

”Yes, we attacked him with the intention to kill and he still did not act according to that.” Lord Cai answered.

”That… is a strange kind of a thief…” Tie Dan said feeling confused.

”Well… there was one thing he said which I did not believe back then,” Lord Cai stated.

”And what was that?” The Senior brother inquired with raised brows.

”He said that it was a mistake and if we let him leave no one would get hurt.” The old man replied.

”A thief with morals, huh?” Pei Lao chuckled.

”No, it is not like that.” Senior brother said while shaking his head.

”Do you think there could be some other reason, senior brother?” Pei Lao asked.

”Hmm, it is a bit unlikely, but I think the thief actually made a mistake. It's possible that his target was not that house, but rather something else.” Senior brother responded.

”How can a thief make a mistake about robbing the wrong house?” Tie Dan wondered.

”What if… he was not a thief?” This time Lord Cai spoke.

”Not a thief? What do you mean, do you perhaps have some suspicions?” The senior brother questioned.

In response to this, Lord Cai looked around and saw all the people that were intently listening.

”Seniors, it would be better if we discuss this someplace else, the information is a bit sensitive.” Lord Cai said in a low voice.

The Senior brother raised his brows, but then nodded.

”Alright, that would be acceptable.” The senior brother agreed.

”If you all are fine with it then, I'd like to invite you all to spend some time at my Establishment. I guarantee you will enjoy your time.” Lord Cai said in a slightly elated tone.
