Chapter 151: Phantom Thief (3) (2/2)

“Eh…hello?”

The first was Suppé, next was Janifer, and then Suppé again, with the last one being the woman with pink hair who was standing in front of the window.

“Pi-Pink Bomb?!”

Suppé stood up from his chair in surprise while Janifer touched the dagger she had hidden in her waist.

And at that moment, another person appeared within a black wind.

A black haired man who wore all black from the clothes to the mask and the cloak.

Tension spread in Janifer’s face, and Suppé nervously observed Jude, the new person who had appeared.

“Oh, don’t be so vigilant. This is my assistant.”

The smiling Cordelia, who had tied up her hair together because she was Pink Bomb now, twirled a lock of her hair with one hand and spoke.

“Say hi to them, Black Cloak, my assistant.”

At Cordelia’s introduction, Janifer narrowed her eyes while Suppé frowned.

“Black…Cloak?”

“Yes, Black Cloak. Right, Black Cloak?”

As Cordelia said with a bright smile, Jude hurriedly glanced at her.

‘Hey, Black Cloak?’

‘Yes, Black Cloak.’

You should try it too.

It’s exciting.

Cordelia mischievously smiled and snorted, while Jude grinned and politely said to Suppé.

“It’s an honor to meet you. I am Black Cloak who serves Pink Bomb. Pink Bomb named me herself, so I’m really proud of my Black Cloak name.”

Suppé and Janifer’s gazes turned to Cordelia again at Jude’s self-introduction.

A gaze that seemed to look at her strangely.

‘Well, she named herself Pink Bomb in the first place.’

‘Black Cloak is a good one though.’

Even though the two weren’t Jude, it seemed like Cordelia could hear their thoughts by just looking at them.

‘N-no! It’s not me! I didn’t create it! So don’t look at me with those eyes!’

Cordelia shouted in her mind and looked at them in earnest, but the only one who could understand her was Jude.

Therefore, Jude happily smiled to Cordelia whose face and ears had turned red.

‘Haha, who were you trying to boss around?’

‘I hate you. I really hate you.’

Cordelia glared at him as her lips quivered, and she coughed once before she turned to Suppé again.

“Are you Suppé, the guild master of the Blue Moon?”

“Yes, I am Suppé, the guild master of the Blue Moon. This is Janifer, our guild’s second-in-command.”

“I am Janifer.”

Following Suppé’s introduction, Janifer bowed and introduced herself, and Cordelia nodded with a satisfied face.

“I think we’ll have a wonderful conversation.”

“The Rogue Master is the envy of Salen’s- no, of all the thieves in the continent.”

Suppé gently smiled and spoke, and Cordelia’s smile grew wider.

She was worried about on what to do if he had doubted her, but he seemed to have believed in her completely.

‘But don’t let your guard down.’

‘I know.’

Cordelia shrugged her shoulders and greeted Suppé again.

“Anyway, nice to meet you. I am the Rogue Master, Pi-Pink…Bomb.”

Cordelia spoke with some difficulty before she stretched out her hand. Suppé was embarrassed for a moment before he quickly grabbed Cordelia’s hand.

“It’s an honor.”

“Yes, yes, but don’t say that you won’t wash your hands in the future.”

As she said that with a wink, Suppé staggered and grabbed his chest. Because she was so pretty.

“Chief, even if I’m not your mistress, I think it would be very bad to show that in front of your lover.”

When Janifer quickly and quietly spoke with her eyes feeling more sharp than usual, Suppé came to his senses and corrected his posture.

“But what is the Rogue Master doing here?”

The appearance of a Rogue Master wasn’t that pleasurable from a guild’s perspective.

She was a big figure who would remain even if the existing order was shaken.

At Suppé’s question, Cordelia smiled again and said as she moved closer to Jude.

“Because I’m a newcomer who had just entered the royal capital. Isn’t it natural for me to greet the Blue Moon Guild who has supported the underworld of the royal capital for a long time?”

“Even if the Black Moon is strong now…it’s just something temporary. The Blue Moon is the true owner of the traditional underworld.”

Jude spoke after Cordelia, and Suppé immediately looked at Cordelia instead of smiling.

And Cordelia said as she looked into Suppé’s eyes.

“I won’t go to the Black Moon. Because they crossed the line. There’s a line that even thieves have to follow, right?”

Cordelia provocatively spoke with a little anxiety as she drew her face closer to Suppé, who smiled instead of being flustered. He then asked in a quiet voice.

“Are you thinking of stirring up the darkness in the royal capital?”

“You’ll have to wait and see.”

Cordelia softly spoke and stepped back, and Suppé smiled as he found it interesting before he pointed to the sofa in the middle of the office.

“Let’s listen to some more stories first. You aren’t just here to say hello, right?”

The guild master position in the Blue Moon wasn’t an easy task.

Cordelia straightly nodded and sat down on the sofa while Jude sat by Cordelia’s side and slightly moved forward as he began to speak.

“We want to buy information.”

For future activities.

And to make them believe that we’re going to behave in some secret way.

Information didn’t just flow in one direction.

The fact that they wanted some information was enough to let the other person know.

“That sounds like a good deal.”

Suppé smiled as he faced Jude.

***

Their conversation didn’t last long.

It was literally short but meaningful.

After the deal was done, Suppé asked Cordelia who had stepped back after the deal was made.

“Pink Bomb.”

“You can call me Rogue Master.”

I mean, please call me that. Please.

“Then Rogue Master.”

“Yes, guild master.”

“I’ll prepare the information you want by tomorrow but…will it be okay? It will be the founding celebration soon.”

An event commemorating the 300th founding anniversary of the country was just around the corner.

Since many guests would come from abroad, the security in the royal capital was bound to increase.

Is it possible to be active by this time of the year?

Shouldn’t we just wait for some time?

Cordelia smiled a little at Suppé’s question. She directly stared at Suppe’s face and said.

“Suppé, I’m the Rogue Master.”

In a way, her declaration was childish yet provocative.

But that mystery captured Suppé’s heart.

There was still the young boy in his mind who considered the Rogue Maser as his hero.

“I look forward to it.”

“I’ll look forward to Suppé too.”

May tomorrow’s information be perfect.

Cordelia winked before she stood up while Jude widely opened the window for Cordelia.

“See you tomorrow.”

Cordelia lightly waved her hand and flew out of the window, and Jude bowed in a theatrical manner before he threw himself out of the window.

And a few minutes later.

After they had left the area where the Blue Moon was located, Jude and Cordelia hid in the back alley and quickly changed back to their original clothes.

Because they had to return to Adelia’s mansion before it was too late.

“Get on my back.”

“Yes, but Jude. Before that, I have a question.”

“What is it?”

“Can we think this through first?”

Should the Rogue Master just rush over?

I’m sure the royal family would be very worried about the security of the royal capital.

At Cordelia’s question, Jude said with a face that was saying that this was too obvious.

“Of course, we have to consider things.”

If the royal capital just before the founding anniversary was noisy because of the Rogue Master and the thief guilds, it would be an embarrassment for the royal family.

“We have to do it a lot, but two times will be the limit, I think?”

“Really?”

“Yes, so we have to pick those two and rob them.”

As effectively as possible.

While widely promoting the name of the Rogue Master, it would also deal a blow to the Lord Protector and the Black Moon.

“Hmm…will it go well?”

Instead of answering Cordelia’s question, Jude brought up another topic.

“You know what, Cordelia?”

“What?”

“Absolute power will absolutely corrupt a person.”

They shouldn’t act foolishly like those demon followers.

“Are you saying that we should watch our backs?”

“There are many things that we shouldn’t reveal.”

Because there would be too many places for them to be stabbed at.

It would be troubling to not know where they would be stabbed.

“Well, good. This kind of work should be left to my Jude. Birds of a feather flock together.”

“Wait, what?”

“Cordelia knows nothing. Anyway, let’s go quickly, Black Cloak.”

“Okay, Pink Bomb.”

Jude and Cordelia exchanged jabs at each other and awkwardly smiled before they headed to Adelia’s mansion.
