Lin Fan froze the moment that he stood up and held his breath as he waited.
He didn't know what was happening, but just the chance that he could be exposed made him freeze. He wanted to see what the situation was before acting.
However, when he looked more closely, he saw that the boss' eyes were still closed and he stood there like he was in a daze. At the same time, his voice didn't attract the attention of the guards outside as far as he could see with the puppets.
The reactions of the guards made it seem like they were already used to this.
Not long after, the boss' body slumped back down in the bed and he started snoring again.
It seemed like he was just talking in his sleep…but that really was misleading!
After he slumped back down on the bed, Lin Fan let out a secret sigh of relief, but he didn't make a move right away. Instead, he just watched as the boss laid there in the bed snoring.
There was a strong urge to slap him on the head that filled him, but he resisted and held himself back.
Once he had confirmed that the boss wasn't going to move again, he took the two tokens without any problem.
With these two tokens in hand, there was no reason for him to stay here any longer. So without hesitation, he made his way past the guards and made his way out of this dorm building.
He also quickly headed to the building with the array around it.
That was where he faced his next problem.
Unlike during the day, there were guards that were currently standing outside of the building.
It seemed like they beefed up security during the nights, with these guards outside this building and the guards patrolling the compound. However, that wasn't strange since night time was always a security issue.
Lin Fan could have snuck past them with his illusion spell, but the problem was that they were standing right in front of the door.
If he opened the door while they were standing there, even an idiot would be able to tell that someone was there.
So he had to figure out a way to distract them and pull them away from the door.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNo, there was actually a much simpler way, but it was riskier as well…
So he had a decision in front of him.
After thinking about it, he decided to take the riskier method.
Without making a sound, Lin Fan made his way right up to the two guards and then…he chopped them both on the back of the neck to knock them out.
The moment that he made contact with them, he suddenly appeared, but that didn't matter. The eyes of the two guards instantly rolled back in their heads and they dropped down to the ground unconscious.
The last thing that they saw was the cloaked figure that appeared in front of them.
Lin Fan looked at them and then just took out the token without hiding them.
He knew that the moment that he knocked them out, he was already on a timer. There was only so much time before the guards on patrol came and found these guards knocked out.
He had to finish up what he was doing here before that happened.
So he took out the first token and raised it up in front of the door just like he had seen the boss do. However, he found that there was no reaction from the door at all.
He couldn't help looking down at the token in his hand, but he wasn't able to find anything at first.
Only when he narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the center of the token did he notice…that there was something right there. It was so small that it was around the same size as a grain of sand, which was why he hadn't noticed it earlier.
But with the Appraisal Eyes, he was able to tell that this thing was the core of this token and what communicated with the array around the building.
So he released his spiritual energy and sent it into this little gem.
The moment that the little gem received his spiritual energy, there was a change with the array. The barrier of the array started opening and soon there was a gap that was created.
Lin Fan moved through and pushed open the door to enter the building.
Without any hesitation, he headed the same way that the boss had gone and reached the other door.
Then he took out the other token and did the same thing.
After learning that there was a gem embedded in the center of the first token, he had immediately checked the second token with his Appraisal Eyes. He found that this second token was the same as the first one, so he injected his spiritual energy into this token just like with the first one.
When this second token received his spiritual energy, the same thing happened to the barrier in front of him and there was a gap that was created in it.
Once this gap was created, Lin Fan went right into the room and picked up the thing that was on the pedestal there.
He threw it into the Pet Storage Space and ignored the pop up that appeared before leaving this place.
He found that the guards still hadn't made their way over to this building yet, so he was able to get out without leaving a single trace.
Once he was far away from the compound, his puppets heard a loud noise. He linked his senses and found the guards scrambling around the compound, trying to find the infiltrator, but what they didn't know was that he was already long gone.
Seeing this, he revealed a smile and headed off to the inn he was staying at.
…
The boss ran out and shouted at the guards, "What is going on here?"
The guards who were standing in front of him all lowered their heads, not a single one of them dared to look up at him.
The boss turned to big brother Hai who was on the side and said in a deep voice, "Tell me what happened."
Big brother Hai also had his head down, but he at least had the courage to look up and say, "There was an intruder and…"
His voice trailed off as he said this.
Seeing the look on his face, the boss couldn't help feeling an uneasy feeling as he shouted, "What is it! Tell me now!"
Big brother Hai opened and closed his mouth a few times before saying, "They stole all of the Dragon Tongue Herb."
The boss narrowed his eyes to look at him, but he then said in a cold voice, "Is it only just the Dragon Tongue Herb."
When they heard this, they all couldn't help being surprised by this.
Just the Dragon Tongue Herb?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Dragon Tongue Herb was their main merchandise and the thing that they relied on to maintain this compound. Wasn't it the worst case scenario if it was stolen?
Big brother Hai really couldn't understand what the boss meant by this, so after thinking about it, he also said, "The fields have also been cleaned out and the roots have all been dug out."
The boss once again asked in a serious voice, "Is it just this?"
Big brother Hai couldn't help feeling even more confused as he didn't understand what the boss was talking about.
This was catastrophic for them since it completely prevented them from rebuilding their business, but the boss was acting as if it wasn't important at all.
None of this made sense.
Seeing that he didn't say anything and just stood there with a confused look, the boss asked in a stressed voice, "Are these the only things that you have to report?"
Big brother Hai didn't know how to respond to this, but then he remembered something.
It had something to do with that one building that he had been forbidden to enter, the building that was always surrounded by a barrier. He didn't know what was there, but there was a report that the two guards that the boss insisted on placing there every night had been knocked out.
So he said, "The guards at 'that' building were knocked out."
When the boss heard this, he didn't waste any time running out of the dorm.
As for where he was heading, it was that building with the array.
When he arrived, he reached into his pocket for the token, but then he realized that he didn't have them. He ran back into his room to pick them up, but he found that they were gone.
He looked around the room in front of the shocked and confused looks of his subordinates, but he wasn't able to find the tokens at all. In the end, his room had been completely turned inside out, but he wasn't able to find a single thing.
His face twisted in rage when he saw this before he turned to his subordinates and roared out, "Which one of you took the tokens from my room?"
All of them were shocked by the pressure that he put on them and they quickly lowered their heads.
Big brother Hai also said, "No one took those tokens, boss. Not a single person has been in your room."
The boss glared at them for a bit before roaring out, "Go and find those tokens!"
Hearing this, not a single person dared to delay and they all ran out.
They had never seen the boss acting this way before, so they were all filled with fear seeing this.
It was just too bad that not a single one of them would be able to recover the tokens.
