Chapter 1401: Chapter 612: Bandits, Must Be Wiped Out At All Times!

Divine Palace Mountain Range, Crow Tribe.

In the spacious meeting room, several Crow elders sat around the conference table, all with serious expressions gazing at a basket on the table.

"The items in this basket were all purchased from the Fool woman’s stall as you instructed..." a Crow servant explained to the Clan Leader sitting at the head of the table.

"Hmm, bring them out..." the Crow Clan Leader nodded.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Crow servant then laid out the items from the basket one by one on the table.

"Look at that bowl, this pattern, I seem to have just seen it yesterday at the Chief’s House..."

"Yes, and that vase, the chipping on the mouth, it’s exactly the same as the vase I saw on the balcony of the Chief’s House..."

"I heard that the Chief’s House was burglarized the day before yesterday, reportedly everything movable was taken, even the broom at the door was not spared..."

"Could these be..."

The Crow people’s faces looked strange as they murmured and whispered to each other in hushed tones, with rampant speculation.

Meanwhile, the Crow Clan Leader, seeing one familiar item after another, had his expression turning darker and his hand holding the cane trembling uncontrollably.

Until the servant had taken out all the items in the basket, the Crow Clan Leader sighed and with a wry smile looked at the others: "There’s no mistake, these are the things stolen from my house..."

"That Fool woman really is a partner of the burlgars!"

"These Fools, they are too brazen, showing no regard for us at all!"

"Unforgivable..."

...

The Crow people were furious, voicing their accusations loudly. The stolen goods were put on sale in public the very next day, without any attempt at disguise; they had never seen such audacious thieves!

"So, should someone be sent to capture that woman?" suggested a Crow person.

"It’s useless..."

The Crow Clan Leader bitterly smiled, "Capture people, do you have any evidence? We are merchants, reputation is everything to us, that woman has purchased a shop here with her money, she is a legitimate merchant, you can’t just arrest a merchant without evidence; who then would dare to do business with us in the future?"

The other Crow people all frowned upon hearing this, wracking their brains for a long time, yet helpless to act.

"Moreover, these items are not even worth much money, the culprit deliberately put the stolen goods out for sale so openly, it’s clearly not for profit..." the Clan Leader added at this point.

"Then what for?" someone asked.

"Clearly, it’s a signal to us that the burglars are linked with them, to solve the burglars’ issue, we have to seek them out..."

"Too arrogant! This is an outright threat!" many Crow people leapt up from the table.

"Arrogant? Then do you have any other solution?" the Clan Leader sneered, "So many people, stirring for two full days, have you caught any burglar?"

Under the Clan Leader’s scathing question, everyone soon calmed down.

Indeed, over the past two days, they had all personally led their forces to search through the entire tribe, yet failed to find any traces of burglar activity.

"It’s also strange, the burglars originally from our tribe, we knew them all inside out. If they were still in the tribe, we should be able to find them..." a burglar elder muttered.

"No need to be surprised, the original burglars must have already fled." the Clan Leader continued, "I guess that another group of burglars, furtively infiltrated our tribe."

The Clan Leader pondered, "This new group of burglars is clearly stronger than the original ones, they can steal not only Divinity but also artifacts! The recent cases of artifact theft, along with the previous Crow people thefts, must all be their doing, aiming to sow discord, using our hands to drive away the original gang, and then they themselves settle in."

"Is that so?!" everyone looked at each other, so it turns out that after all this turmoil, it was a power struggle among burglars?

"Sigh, I also blame myself for not thinking it through at that time, directly blaming the original burglars, now, the original burglars have already been driven away by us, and before leaving they even took a last jab at us, evidently, they don’t plan to return..."

"If it were just this, let it be, consider the money they stole as a debt we owe them, but the important issue is, this new batch of burglars, they are not so easily dismissed..."

The Clan Leader shook his head and sighed, "From the current trend, this new group of burglars clearly do not intend to abide by our restrictions, much less sign any revenue sharing agreement, they are here to be ’real burglars’, if left unchecked, in the future we may constantly become their shearing targets..."

"After all, no one knows better than burglars that the Crow people are the wealthiest..."

All the Crow people were shocked by this analysis, they had been accustomed to a comfortable life as traders, none of them wanted to be constantly targeted by thieves, especially one capable of stealing artifacts...

"Clan Leader, then what should we do?"

"No choice, we must first talk to those Fools."

...

That very afternoon, Mu You received a message from Lu Yao.

"Just now, a Crow person sought me out, saying their Clan Leader wishes to invite my ’backer’ to attend a banquet... Backer, they’re referring to you, right?"

Mu You raised an eyebrow, as expected, they came calling.

"Alright, I got it."

"What’s the situation? A trap? Are these Crow people scared by you to the point they set an ambush ready to Knife you?" Lu Yao gossiped after finishing her message.
