Chapter 51: Black Panther Gang (1/2)
'Wasn't the City supposed to be safe?'
That was the question Liu Ye asked himself as he stared outside and saw ten NPCs holding Elemental Weapons. All of them had tattoos all over their arms and their faces were covered with black bandanas. When Liu Ye tried to inspect the robbers, all he saw were red question marks as their identities and level were hidden from him.
”How about setting a return destination and back away with the car?” Liu Ye suggested in a whisper when the ground shook and their car lifted at least a meter in the air.
”Don't try to play with us! We know all the tricks!” A buff man shouted angrily and stabbed his flaming scimitar in the crack in the door. The edge pierced right through and stopped only inches away from Liu Ye's head.
That was the moment he knew they could either fight back or surrender.
”Alright, we are coming out. Don't kill us please,” Liu Ye called out calmly as he opened the door and walked out with his hands in the air. Marco wasn't any different and didn't panic in the slightest.
Their calmness threw the robbers off as the buff man immediately aimed his weapon at their faces.
”What are you hiding?! Why are you so calm?”
Liu Ye shrugged unbothered, being in a similar situation countless times. ”Why should I panic? You are not trying to kill us, right?”
The whole team raised their eyebrows in surprise. They probably expected them to shiver in fear but they were unlucky to meet with Liu Ye and Marco. The latter spent months within Bandits as a spy so robberies were an everyday occurrence to him.
”That's right, we are after your money and possessions,” the buff man nodded while waving his scimitar in a threatening manner. ”What are you waiting for? Give us your money now!”
”Well, if you are not here to kill us then I guess you will leave empty-handed,” Liu Ye replied while giving each of them a casual look. ”We just arrived in this City and spent all of our money on the Permits. I even had to sell my items to afford it.”
While looking at them, Liu Ye searched for any alternative ways to escape but they were surrounded. He could only use the art of bullshitting to get them out of this dead end.
”If you don't believe me then you can search me,” Liu Ye muttered as he spread his arms to the side. ”We don't want any trouble.”
So far Liu Ye didn't experience any special skills in this game so he trusted the system wouldn't fail him. With the way the game was constructed, it wouldn't put focus on any skills like stealing, lockpicking or even stealth. Everything focused on mastering the Elements and his Player inventory should hide his items securely.
The buff man looked at him suspiciously and looked behind at the only woman in the group. She wore a tight leather uniform that underlined all her sexy curves.
”Do it,” she ordered coldly while staring deeply into Liu Ye's eyes. ”If you try anything funny you are dead.”
