It took two minutes. The money in Tie Mountain's safe was swept clean, and both God of Thieves and Luo Jingwei's pockets were bulging.
"Damn, if this guy has so much cash and jewelry, the money in his bank account must be even more outrageous?"
God of Thieves cursed unsatisfied, wanting to rob Tie Mountain's entire fortune.
It was Luo Jingwei's first time doing something like this. After going through guilt and fear, she felt an exhilarating excitement from her gains.
Her face was excited: "So much money, with the salary from my previous job, it would take at least fifty years to save it!"
God of Thieves looked at Luo Jingwei's excited expression, recalling her "fierce" look when packing the money earlier, he sneered mischievously: "Madam, are you interested in learning the craft from me? With your talent, you could be out there in less than half a year..."
"The craft, you mean stealing?"
Luo Jingwei gaped in astonishment, she really couldn't understand what there was to learn about stealing.
"Madam, you're saying it all wrong. What do you mean stealing, it's clearly Stealing Skill, isn't it!"
As a notorious bandit, God of Thieves had a thief's pride, thinking Luo Jingwei wouldn't agree, he hurriedly said; "Madam, don't rush to refuse. In terms of Stealing Skill, your master is quite the expert..."
"Qin Hao also steals?"
Luo Jingwei's eyes widened, her face excited like discovering a new continent.
"Stealing? That's light for him, the Night Emperor who kills without batting an eye, doesn't he!"
God of Thieves chuckled: "His Stealing Skill is better than mine. Back then, he took me to steal paintings at the British Empire Museum..."
With those words, Luo Jingwei imagined Qin Hao crouching sneakily, and couldn't help but smile: "Since he can do it, I might as well learn too. But just so you know, I have to go back to work in the country, I don't have much time."
"Hmm, we'll see."
God of Thieves responded perfunctorily. Qin Hao's previous message clearly instructed to keep Luo Jingwei in Europe after rescuing her. God of Thieves' intentional teaching was undoubtedly to keep Luo Jingwei.
However, negotiation was never his strong suit, so he might as well leave it to Demoness later.
The sound of gunfire outside had calmed down a lot, but there were still sounds of fierce fighting.
"Alright, it's about time to go."
God of Thieves came to the French window, pulled it open, and stuck his head out.
"How do we go? You don't mean for me to jump down from here!"
Luo Jingwei was shocked, this was the highest floor of the castle, at least thirty meters above the ground!
God of Thieves had no time to enjoy the night view outside the window, after assessing the height and glancing at the occasionally flashing Sword Qi from the fighting, he said without hesitation: "The front is definitely heavily guarded. The only way to leave is this."
With that, his small frame jumped out the window, one hand gripping the window ledge, hanging in mid-air.
Luo Jingwei was so shocked she covered her mouth, not daring to make a sound, afraid it would startle him into falling.
God of Thieves fished out a rope from the backpack on his back, hooked it onto a nail by the window, and pulled it hard to test its sturdiness.
Feeling it was stable enough, he tossed the other end of the rope to Luo Jingwei, "You tie the rope around yourself later, climb down slowly, shouldn't be a problem?"
"It's a big problem!"
Excited, Luo Jingwei's voice was a bit loud, "You want me to do this without any mental preparation!"
God of Thieves chuckled slyly: "Didn't you just say you wanted to become an apprentice? This is the test for that."
"I! I take it back!"
Luo Jingwei panicked, but God of Thieves gave no explanation, just said, "I'll be waiting for you below" and let go, his body plummeting swiftly down.
"This!"
Luo Jingwei jumped in shock, and upon running to the bed, she saw an implausible scene.
God of Thieves, who was falling, grabbed another window ten meters above ground, somehow defying gravity, hanging stably in mid-air!
Luo Jingwei felt even Newton's coffin couldn't keep its lid on. In her daze, she heard God of Thieves call out softly: "Hey, hurry up, they can't hold on much longer. We need to run!"
Luo Jingwei snapped back, finding God of Thieves already on the ground, eagerly covering his mouth.
"Die if I must!"
If she were alone, Luo Jingwei might have been too scared to act.
But, through God of Thieves' words, she could tell many had come to save her.
If she didn't escape due to momentary cowardice, wouldn't it waste all their efforts?
To not let down those who came to rescue her, Luo Jingwei acted.
She looped the rope around her waist, slowly climbed to the ledge, and began her descent, feet against the sturdy wall.
A person's potential is limitless.
At this moment, Luo Jingwei clearly realized this.
She felt her body was usually weak and helpless, maybe unable to even twist open a water bottle.
But in this life-and-death moment, she tapped into massive potential, managing to briefly hold against the wall with her slender arms.
"Good, just like that, maintain a steady speed coming down!"
Encouragement from God of Thieves rose from below, Luo Jingwei took deep breaths and continued downward.
The thirty-meter high castle might take a normal man only a few minutes to descend with a rope. But Luo Jingwei took ten minutes.
Reaching the ground, she saw the rope marks on her red-tinged palms, and despite the soreness and exhaustion, a delighted smile appeared on her face: "I did it!"
She jumped high, then landed and covered her mouth, oh, did she shout too loudly?
"Congratulations."
God of Thieves responded perfunctorily, "Follow me."
He turned and merged into the night.
Luo Jingwei quickly followed, and they soon escaped the castle area.
Along the way, God of Thieves' steps and light body resembled a wild cat, deeply impressing upon Luo Jingwei what Stealing Skill truly meant.
No wonder those two earlier didn't find him, he moved without a single sound, ordinary people probably wouldn't notice, right?
Luo Jingwei pondered bizarrely, God of Thieves halted ahead, "We're here."
"Here?"
Confused, Luo Jingwei watched as God of Thieves fiddled with his phone, as if sending a message, explaining: "This is our rendezvous point. We'll leave when they've also escaped."
Luo Jingwei nodded secretly, very curious about the "they" God of Thieves mentioned.
Who were these capable individuals, daring to face Tie Mountain head-on amid great danger?
In front of Iron Mountain Castle.
"Kill him!"
"Tear him apart!"
"Long live Commander Tie Mountain!"
Many castle guards formed a human wall, shouting unrestrainedly.
In the center of the wall, Tie Mountain and Sword Madman were fiercely clashing.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang...
Tie Mountain wielded two large hammers, seemingly like toys in his hands, occasionally clashing with Sword Madman's Divine Blade, sparking everywhere.
