Novel Full Chapter 64 - Righteous Thievery
Emma shrugged 'Since you can't answer a simple question. Forget.'
"I need to make a plan for my thievery." He murmured. His hand started moving on the keyboard.
>>Why can't you ask those twins… You never can tell.
'Hmm, that makes work, but… they knew no one here. Did you forget this was their first time in Thango and Reaper City?'
>>I'm just saying. It won't hurt to ask from them. Instead of this your foolish thievery plan.
'You dare call my righteous plan foolish….!' Emma placed his hand on his chest, sighing. 'You break my righteous heart.'
>>Shut up! Shameless. When did you become like this….? Sighed.
'You won't understand… Ah. You won't. My fragile heart.' He pretended to cry. 'Previously, I wanted to steal only the Nanomites for being righteous. But now, I will steal everything in their vault. This is to quench my broken, fragile heart. Since some people won't understand my righteousness. Better still, I will make them understand.' He nodded righteously.
>>What…!
'Yes! If I stole only the Nanomites. They won't understand my righteousness. But when they found nothing in their vault. Then, they will understand the art of thievery. So, when next, a thieve stole part of their items. They will realize that it was the thieve righteousness. By this, righteousness will spread throughout Thango.' He announced with a straight face.
>>Shut up!! Righteousness my foot. How come you say something like this with a straight face. Hmm?
'Did I say something wrong?'
>>D—Did you lose a screw in your brain…?
'Probably. Since you come into my life... Things haven't been the same.' Emma stood up and left the room. 'I don't mean it in a bad way, though.'
>>…
'Since I can't shut you up normally. Then I will shamelessly handle you. Humph! You still have a lot to learn from this Grandpa. Ha. Ha. It is good to see Lily finally accept her defeat.'
Emma entered the sitting room. He sat near the twins while he also joined them watching the Tv show. After thirty minutes of watching the show. Jimena couldn't handle the silence anymore. She looked at Emma. "Mr. Manny. Is there anything you need?" She raided her brow. While also, Arce looked at Emma.
Since the previous conversation with Emma. Their mind wasn't at peace. They decided to use the Tv show to distract their conflicted mind. Though they decided to work for Emma and his company. It scared them to be turned into a slave. If they weren't at their wit's end. They wouldn't have made that decision. Who knows how dark Emma was, compared to others?
"What…?" Emma looked at the twins, smiling slightly. "Is there something frighten about me.?"
Jimena whiffed her head. "No, no. I don't mean that…"
"I know." Emma interrupted her. "I need your help."
Jimena breathe a sigh of relief. "For what?"
"Do you know where I can get Nanomites?"
Hearing Emma, the twins looked at each other and shook their heads. They've strictly concentrated on their research, not having the chance to make connections with people that deal with such things.
"Sorry. We don't know." Arce answered bitterly. 'If we focus not too much on research. We will be useful now. I guess everything as it good and bad.' He sighed.
Emma waves his hand. He only asked for the sake of asking. "Don't worry about it. I'm just asking just for research purposes. It's not that important right now."
Listening to this. The expression of the twins became better. However, the feeling of being useless left a sour taste in their mouth. Emma looked at the twins and raised his brow and thought for a few seconds.
"But tonight, I and you are going to a very important place. So, you must be prepared. But if you don't want to go. I'm not forcing you." Emma announced, looking at the expression of the twins.
Hmm?
"Where?" Arce squinted his eyes.
"You will know when we get there. Are you going or not?"
"Is—it dangerous..." Jimena asked worriedly.
"Welcome to Thango. Everywhere in Thango is dangerous. Haven't you learned that already?" Emma chuckled.
The twins looked at each other and gulped. Truly, they've learned. They nodded. What can they do?
Don't go…
Then they are gone.
"Don't worry. I'm not doing anything bad to you. Since you are going to work for me in the future. You must learn the way of Thango and my way. Ok?"
"Ok" Jimena and Arce nodded.
"I promise you." Emma paused and twist his lips. "If what we are going to do is successful. Then… I'll make you my people. You can do your research peacefully while I will not take everything for myself. They will know your name throughout Thango and the entire world."
Listening to Emma's absurd promise. The twins widened their eyes. They looked at Emma without blinking while their heart pounce. Can this be true?
No!
It's a lie. Probably a dream.
Arce was the first person to regain from the initial shock. He opened his mouth. But the world won't come out. He closed his mouth and gathered his thought. While Emma waits patiently for the twins. He knew his promise was hard to believe. No sane person will believe what he said. But those wealthy hegemonies are not sane. So why must he be a sane person? But with the help of the system. It is only a matter of time.
"W—What you say is hard to believe. But, will believe it and hope it comes to pass." Arce replied.
Beep! Beep!
'You have delivery, sir.' A mechanical voice echoed in the room.
…
Inside a van, a group of three dressed in black cloth with a black mask covering their faces. Two of the three were trembling while the last person sat confidently and look at the monitor in front without caring about trembling people around him. These three were Emma, Arce, and Jimena.
"See this.." Emma pointed to a red dot on the screen, looking at the twins. "This red dot represents me. You are to keep your eyes on the dot. I can't predict which route I will use to escape. But it will be among the four routes. So, don't lose the dot. I need you to pick me up immediately after I escape from the route. Clear?" He scrutinized the face of the twins.
"A-Are we not going to enter the building?" Arce asked with his heart racing.
"Did I ever tell you are going to enter the mansion?" Emma wanted to laugh but controlled himself. 'So they thought they were going to enter the mansion. Ha. Ha. So, that why their face looks like they swallow a fly.' "You're not entering the mansion. Your job is to pick me up when I esca… *cough* left the mansion."
Hearing this, they looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Thank God. "That… we can do. I'll monitor the red dot while Arce will handle the wheel. You have nothing to worry about." Jimena announced confidently while Arce nodded.
Seeing their reaction, Emma wanted to knock their head. But ignored them. "Good. I'll depend on you." He pressed some keys on the keyboard. At once, the monitor displayed the security foot of the mansion. Emma watched the foot for a few seconds. 'I need 5 seconds to breach the first line of defense.'
>>Are you not going to give this a second thought?
'Which thought. I've done all the thought. While I will do the rest on the go.'
>>Why are you so careless? You know nothing about these people. You're entering the lion's den without preparing. When did I have such a reckless student?
'There is nothing I can do. I'm not careless nor reckless. I've done all the preparation that could be done. Watch. This is not being careless. But being confident.'
>>...Oh. Confident. Let see your confidence…
"I'll be going." Emma opened the door and jumped out of the van, not making a sound. Instantly, the twins closed the van door. Seeing this, Emma gnashed his teeth. 'You wait. When I returned. I'll teach you a lesson you never forget.'
Emma blended with the night breeze. The peaceful surroundings add to the beauty of this area. There was less visitor in the part of Reaper City. Only the powerful people of Reaper City house here.
If one has the money to purchase land in this area. He or she may not be able to buy it. This land was restricted and they must meet only certain criteria before they could allow buying land in the area.
The security of the area was exceedingly tight. Every security personnel was once a special force. Also, they ordered to kill on sight when they notice any anomaly, making this area a dreadful place for normal people to venture to. You can only come here when invited. But tonight, everything was about to change. The legend of righteous thievery was about to be born.
Emma hide behind a tree and looked at the 7 meters security fence, controlling his breathing. "Now, I need to wait for 5 seconds before the camera change to another angle." He murmured.
>>You have one chance to jump over the fence. I don't remember you learning how to jump over such a height.
'Because you don't see me learning, doesn't mean I don't know how.'
