Chapter 481: Not Convinced? Come and Take It Back!_1
In the room, a lamp was shining its light. Carson Flores sat in front of it, looking at the alchemy book he had obtained earlier.
Ruben Howell and Josie Howell climbed over the wall, landed in the courtyard, and carefully approached the door. After peeking through the door crack, they breathed a sigh of relief, pushed the door open, and entered the room.
Carson Flores looked up at them, then closed the book in his hands.
The eyes of Ruben Howell and Josie Howell fell simultaneously on the alchemy book in Carson’s hands, then to the obviously bulging backpack at his feet, their eyes brightened.
They had been searching nearby for households that seemed affluent for the past six hours. Although they had found some things, the results were not entirely satisfying.
Ruben’s tone was odd as he said, "Yo, seems like you’ve had quite the haul."
Carson replied with a faint smile, "Not bad."
After robbing Saint Jaramillo and the others, Carson made a round around the area and searched a few households before giving up.
He noticed that the homes of the city’s affluent were tidy and clean, with no valuable items left behind, giving the impression of an orderly evacuation. In contrast, poorer households were clearly much messier, indicating the haste with which they had left.
This led Carson to a speculation.
The news of this world’s impending destruction would likely have reached the administrators first, followed by the wealthy families in this area. Therefore, they had ample time to pack all their valuable possessions and evacuate in an orderly manner, whereas the commoners, likely the last to know, were the most frantic in their departure.
