Two women wearing short clothes were breaking into Himura’s guild. No alarm went off, the entire security system seemed to be turned off, the woman with her nipples erect had disabled the entire system.

The second woman, who was wearing a tiny pair of panties with her pubic hair exposed, began using a skill that caused the doors to open.

And without any trouble, the two women managed to break in and steal the entire stock of crystals and drops.

This was the job Shinozaki had sent to the hidden market, but the two took the opportunity to steal some equipment that they could sell to a blacksmith or a store specializing in those weapons.

The woman with erect nipples took the entire stock of potions, while the one in panties went after the coins that were in a safe in Himura’s room.

The job was completed in less than twenty minutes. The delivery point was a park near the city hall, Kazuma went there and made the payment.

He had left a briefcase with the coins, the women took it and left an item bag containing everything Shinozaki wanted in its place.

He took it and brought it to her.

He hated this procedure, but that was how the market worked.

Shinozaki was anxious, she wanted to return them, but she couldn’t say that she had hired someone to steal from Himura, so all that remained was for her to sell the crystals on the side.

That would be the best and most correct thing to do at that moment, since she had spent a lot of coins to obtain the crystals.

The two women could have stolen the crystals and disappeared, but that was something no experienced freelancer would do. Everyone followed a code of completing the job and receiving what had been agreed upon, even if the stolen goods could be worth more than what had been offered.

Of course, taking more than what was requested sometimes happened, and the freelancers kept the excess, since that did not break the agreement.

"We can’t, we need to keep the stolen crystals and sell them when things calm down, I’ll hide everything. There is definitely more here than we spent. Much more," Kazuma said excitedly.

Although he would not get any of the money received from the sale, he would still keep Shinozaki as a client, and that was very beneficial, since at that moment Himura was the weaker party.

"The company will eventually buy the crystals, and we will sell them. For now, we need to keep everything a secret.

Are those two trustworthy?"

"Yes, they will keep the secret. The market would never have someone who would expose the clients."

Shinozaki became a little calmer, but she was still anxious. She had always been against the plan, but she could not say no to the two of them. She agreed to offer money to help carry out the plan.

She had also always been against Suzuki’s involvement. He was a man she hated, since he was almost like a competitor.

In fact, he was a competitor to many people. He had the Merchant class and always opened several companies. He had always wanted a guild, but he had never managed to buy any dungeon, so he came up with the idea of making the dungeons go bankrupt.

He had a bank and an energy company that was still starting out. So, getting rid of the dungeons and Moriyama Electric Company was something very interesting for him.

That was why she had always been against it, since she felt that he was only using the three families to achieve a goal that would benefit only him.

Himura was tired. He knew it was too late to abandon the plan, but at the same time, he wanted to do it.

He went to the guild and pressed a button, and the lights came on, but something was strange. He did not know what it was, but he knew something was wrong.

He went to a counter and looked at the open cash register. He went to the office, and the safe was open.

The guild had been robbed.

’How did this happen?’

He went to the storage room, and everything had been taken. The guild had nothing left.

Himura lost control. He did not know how to react. His disordered movements caused him to stumble, but he quickly got up and started looking for some clue.

He had knowledge of investigation and knew how he should act in cases like this, but nothing. He could not discover anything. He only knew that the safe had been opened with some ability. The security system had also been shut down with the same ability, but he did not know which one it was.

A small trace of mana in the air indicated this, but at the same time, the mana could have come from the crystals.

He did not want to call the police because he knew they were useless, but they were under Suzuki’s command.

He called and began explaining everything that had happened.

Suzuki’s expression changed. The calm had disappeared. The money he had invested had simply evaporated. Not all of it, he still counted on the potions Tsukishiro would deliver. But even so, he had lost a large amount of coins.

Suzuki quickly sent the police to the guild. The investigation began, although the police were not very willing to work, since everyone knew that Himura was not a very beneficial person for the city.

But they at least had to pretend that they were using all their resources to find the culprit.

A police officer found the announcement in the hidden market. He wanted to hide the information, but a superior saw him.

Himura soon learned that the market had received a robbery contract, but it only involved the crystals, so someone else wanted to rob the guild.

Although it was relatively easy to access the hidden market, all the information was encrypted, and no one could discover who had placed the request. At least, no one from outside knew.

This was terrible.

He knew that the police might not discover who had invaded, since freelancers had many pieces of equipment to hide their presence and allow them to break in without leaving any clues.

Masaru was sitting in the office. He knew that Himura had been robbed. Information was shared quickly throughout the city.

He laughed silently. In a way, he was very happy with everything that had happened, but at the same time, he knew that this would still cause another problem. Now another party possessed all the crystals to offer to the company.

Moriyama was not a very trustworthy man, and he would easily give up on buying Masaru’s crystals if someone offered them cheaper, and then he would buy the crystals again as if nothing had happened.

He was the worst kind of person. These merchants were horrible to work with.

Although he did not have the Merchant class, he acted like one. All the toxic traits of a merchant were in him. That was something Masaru never understood, and he always considered that Moriyama was hiding his real class.

Masaru remembered the day he received his class. Moriyama was there and received the Legendary-level Electrician class. Masaru had always suspected that he might have given some coins to the teacher to lie about his class.

This was rare, but it happened.

The border army issued an alert to all the city’s police.

Tsukishiro, Himura, and Shinozaki were suspected of causing mana disturbance due to their high consumption of electricity.

Tsukishiro had a very good excuse to use if he were arrested, the potion production equipment that consumed a lot of electricity. But he had many pieces of equipment running at that moment, and that was something very suspicious, since he had never consumed so many resources at any point.

Besides that, many companies that produced potions used internal electric furnaces to prevent disturbances in the network.

However, this was not something that would remain under suspicion for long, so he had great confidence in the excuse.

The alchemists in the potion room were working hard.

The police were not going to arrest anyone. They only had to keep an eye on all movements. But if something happened at the walls, the three should be taken away.

The guards were agitated. Everyone was attentive, and some were killing some stronger monsters that appeared.

Everyone was above level 50. Those below that level were carrying out other, less dangerous tasks.

But if the monsters became more hostile, all forces should be used.

This was something rare. All the soldiers always worked by killing monsters that lingered around the walls, but in this case, the stronger monsters were roaming around. Slimes, orcs, and other weak and medium monsters were farther away, the mana did not attract as much of their attention.

Earth dragons and even true gorgons were approaching.

These gorgons were different from those in the dungeon. These could actually turn someone to stone, but there were many potions in the army’s stockpile. They could use the entire potion supply if someone were transformed.

The general was looking into the distance. His eyes could not clearly see the monster that was approaching.

He descended from the wall and went to a room to get binoculars.

He climbed the wall again and adjusted the binoculars so he could observe the monster. It was a red dragon. Beside it was another dragon, a black one, and on the other side, farther behind, there was a white dragon.

The general was level 76, and he could deal with one dragon alone, but three would be very complicated.

He issued an order to evacuate civilians from the wall posts and summoned the strongest soldiers who could use magic and long-range attacks.

Shinomiya picked up a communicator and sent an arrest order and another investigation order against the three.

"But sir, we cannot do this, they are..."

"I don’t care who they are. I want them all arrested and investigated. I am issuing the order myself based on my position. I hope no one questions me again."

The soldier was afraid of the power and influence of Tsukishiro Kaito. Although he was not the head of the family, he was still very powerful, and only the Emperor could use his power to go against any general.
