Chapter 208: Fubao.
Lee’s idea was simple. He was positive that during the largest auction of the year at least one of the items would be a spatial treasure. He intended to throw inside of it several other expensive things, and then disappear.
Now, though, hearing the heavy breathing of the hillbillies behind him, his greed grew. Besides, he had to get rid of these guys who could barely lift boxes that elemental masters would have carried two at once with ease.
After quickly weighing his options, he altered the initial plan, and led his group a couple hundred yards further. Then he turned into an alley and ordered them to stop.
"I feel something is wrong!" He said to his subordinates, "Put everything down, let me check!"
Obviously none of the bandits were literate, thus, in the darkness, he pretended to read the lists the Trade Hall’s official gave him, opened the box that was supposed to go to the sect master, and picked out the spatial artifacts. Only one of them was a bag-like item. Two others were rings, with much smaller storage spaces, and trousers that had one of the pockets working as a spatial item.
Without a second thought, Lee transferred all other artifacts in the four spatial items, apart of another bag and a ring that also had spatial properties. Apparently someone else besides the sect master had gotten lucky tonight.
After all six boxes were empty, Lee said, "There are problems. Guard this place! I’ll be back in a few moments."
And then he left the fourteen bandits to their fate. On the way he changed his attire, and while he rushed through the outer sect towards the smithy he was going to work for the upcoming month or two, the fake enforcers were made.
They did try to pose a resistance, confident they were the good guys this time, but most were killed in a couple of moves. After finding out that an actual Enforcement Hall’s elder was present, they threatened that Lord Cross will punish him for raising his hand against colleagues, and only a then did the enforcers begin to realize what scheme had taken place.
