Ruby?

Mike memorized this name in his heart. Then, he looked at the short elf and asked, "Is there anything else you haven't said?"

"No, absolutely not! I swear that I've told you everything I know!"

"Very good."

Mike revealed a smile and slightly tightened his left hand.

Crack.

The next moment, the elf widened his eyes in disbelief. He lowered his head shakily and looked at his left hand. The last thumb had been cut off, and fresh blood flowed out from all the wounds. He had not expected that even if he had said everything, he would still not be able to save that finger in the end.

"This is to teach you a lesson. Remember, there are some people you absolutely should not offend."

After saying that, Mike turned around and left.

Timus, on the other hand, used the same cold tone to say to the short elf, "He's right, plus, there's no point in keeping this finger. Why don't we just cut off all of it?"

After saying that, he followed Mike's footsteps.

However, not long after the two of them left, a loud roar came from behind them.

"Wait!"

Mike and Timus stopped, they both turned around at the same time.

It was the guard, Jess. As he shouted, he ran toward the two of them. Neither Timus nor Mike took a defensive stance. They were confident in their own strengths.

A small guard was not enough to make them nervous.

However, Jess did not want to attack them. He stopped in front of Mike and Timus and asked with a serious face, "Are you going to look for the Thieves Union?"

Mike narrowed his eyes and nodded. "Of course, I will take back what he stole from me."

Timus mocked him at the same time, "If we don't take it back, who will take it back for us? The law?"

Jess knew that Timus was mocking him, but he could not refute him. On the contrary, he somewhat approved of Mike and Timus' words, but he still defended his duty, "I'll help you get it back!"

After he heard this, Mike was slightly surprised, but then he frowned and said, "With just you? Stop fooling around!"

"Didn't you hear it just now? This Thieves Union is very powerful. It's impossible for a small guard like you to deal with it."

"If you really go, perhaps the Thieves Union will still run rampant in every city.

"And in a corner of a sewer, there will be the corpse of a guard."

Jess gritted his teeth when he heard this. He knew that Mike was telling the truth, but he still insisted on his decision.

"I have to go!

"I won't allow such a criminal organization to be active in the Ancient City of Life!

"My duty is to use my life to defend the laws of the elf race and protect the civilians of the elven people!"

Jess' every word was loud and clear, and anyone could see that he spoke from the bottom of his heart.

But Mike only commented lightly, "Childish!" After saying that, he turned around again. "Do whatever you want, but we will still find the Thieves Union ourselves. You just need to not follow us."

This was Mike's last warning. Jess did not give up, so his next words made Mike stop again. "Do you know how to get to the underground sewers of the Ancient City of Life?"

Timus and Mike looked at each other.

They really did not know how to get to the underground of the Ancient City of Life. At this time, it was especially important to have someone who knew the Ancient City of Life very well in the team.

They looked at Jess at the same time.

Jess said seriously, "I admit that you're right. My strength is too weak. Many times, I can't really defend what I stand for.

"But we can work together!

"I'll help you find the Thieves Union, and you'll help me capture them!

"This is good for us, isn't it?"

Mike thought for a moment from the offer. He had to admit that Jess was right. This cooperation was beneficial to both sides.

"Alright, but I just want to find my things. After I find them, I won't care about the rest."

"Deal!"

"Lead the way."

Conversations between men were sometimes as simple as 1 2 3.

A special team was formed just like that — a guard, and two thugs who had just committed violence on the street.

The three of them quickly disappeared at the corner of the street, this left behind a group of elven civilians who only dared to approach the scene now as they pointed at the pool of blood on the ground.

..

In an uninhabited corner of the Ancient City of Life. Jess laboriously lifted a manhole cover from the ground. The surroundings were clearly covered in dust, but the edges of the manhole cover were clearly cleaner than in other places.

It was very obvious that this manhole cover had been moved by many people.

After the manhole cover was lifted, a staircase was revealed. It was the staircase that led to the sewer.

"This is the entrance to the sewer."

Jess wiped his sweat and dusted the dust off his hands. Then, he took the lead to climb down the stairs. Mike and Timus followed closely behind.

After they climbed for a few dozen steps, the three of them landed steadily on the sewer passage.

The sunlight shone through the entrance above, it brought upon a faint visibility to the sewer.

However, it was a little difficult to see past the sewers a little further away. And at this time, Jess played the role of a guard perfectly.

Jess took out a torch from his back, then raised his other hand and casted a relatively basic fire spell.

The torch was instantly lit, and the dark sewer was illuminated perfectly.

Timus looked at the torch and smacked his lips, "I didn't expect you to be so useful."

Jess did not answer him. Instead, he carefully observed his surroundings. This sewer was a very common pattern. In the middle was the sewer, and on both sides were paths for people to walk on. These two paths were originally for the workers who maintained the sewer environment to walk on, but the stench from the sewer and the few rats swimming in the sewer all told the truth.

No one had been maintaining the sewers.

"It seems that there are many places in this city that more than meets the eye, who knew that it was rotting." Mike glanced at Jess and said this.

Jess pursed his lips and did not say anything. Instead, he passed between Mike and Timus, then walked forward.

"Follow me."

Mike and Timus did not speak anymore, but only followed Jess's footsteps.

If they wanted to find the Thieves Union, they had to rely on the guards of the Ancient City of Life to lead the way.

Soon, the three of them came to a corner.

There was an iron door on the wall of this corner, which was originally used to store some sundries. But the lock on the iron door had been pried open, and it seemed that it had never been discovered.

Obviously, this was the work of the Thieves Union.
