Chapter 228 - Thieves Union (2/2)

Mike raised his hand again and waved the Sword of the King in his hand. The elf’s right hand was left with only his thumb and index finger.

At this moment, the elf was in total despair. Notwithstanding the pain, he recognized the reality of it all. The only one who could save him now was himself!

“Stop with the chopping! I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you everything! Please!

“I stole the things, but the things aren’t with me now!”

After the elf screamed the confession, Jess was completely stunned. He looked at the little elf on the ground — who had tears in his eyes — in surprise. This also left him completely dumbfounded.

Just a moment ago, he assumed that this elf was an innocent civilian, that Mike and Timus were the perpetrators.

But now, the situation had been reversed.

Mike and Timus were really the victims, and this seemingly innocent elf was really a thief! Jess was completely stunned on the spot, he could only stare blankly at the Elf who lay on the ground that gasped in pain.

Mike turned around and looked at Jess, “Did you see that? This is the truth.

“The law you insist on can’t control everything, but my own method can.”

Jess pursed his lips and did not answer.

Mike did not say anything more to him. Instead, he turned to look at the short elf on the ground and said coldly, “Hand over what we want, and I’ll spare your life.”

The short elf finally understood what the last straw was.

Obviously, the guard could not save him at all.

The person who could save him was actually the human who had been hurting him. Some things were so ironic.

The person who could not do anything could only hope that the perpetrator would stop.

“I… I don’t know who has what you want now… I—” The short elf chose to tell the truth, but before he could finish his sentence, Mike swung his sword again.

Ka!

The short elf widened his eyes and let out another heart-wrenching scream. His right hand was now only left with a thumb.

“This is not the answer I want. I just want to know how I can get what I want back!” Mike was trying his best to suppress his anger. He really wanted to kill this elf. However, his internal reasoning told him that if he killed him now, his weapon would probably never be found.

“You still have one last chance.” The Sword of the King in Mike’s hand was gently lowered and was placed on the remaining finger of the elf.

The elf finally endured the intense pain and told him everything he knew.

“Crow has your things.

“Crow is a member of the Thieves’ Union. I don’t know his real name. I only know that the Thieves’ Union’s base is under the Ancient City of Life!”

He spoke very quickly, afraid that he would lose his last finger if he spoke too slowly.

“Obviously, you already know how to talk to me.” Mike slowly squatted down and gestured to the elf at close range.

“Continue!”

The elf thought for a short while and then continued to spit out all the information he knew.

“I came into contact with this organization two months ago.

“This organization has always been active underground, and it seems that they are not the only people in the Ancient City of Life. Perhaps all the cities in the continent are under their influence.

“Their base is hidden under the city, and the sewers are their path.

“Everyone in this organization has their own code names, and no one uses their real names!”

At this point, the short elf shook tremendously as he tried to think of what other information he had yet to say.

A moment later, his eyes lit up, and as if he had thought of something, he said the last piece of valuable information, “The person in charge of selling stolen goods in their organization is called ‘Ruby’!”
