Chapter 346 Sneaking Out Wealth



During that night, the Bore Shrews made their way to the Bergan\'s Band buildings. With the direction given by Lucius, they made their way to the storage vaults while traveling underground.

The vaults were naturally encased in a particular type of stone, a material to prevent anyone from accessing it and it was very sturdy.

However, the Lost Bore Shrews dug hard and cracked the stone, breaking into the vaults. All of them only entered through one small passage to ensure that it was unnoticeable.

Although as it was the Bergan\'s Band vault, no one was around at the particular time.

The Bergan\'s Band vaults were filled to the brim with a variety of wealth to steal, there were a lot of coins, gems but most importantly there were rune crystals.

Given orders to steal the most valuable items, the Lost Bore Shrews quickly set to work and brought the items through the holes for the next several hours while the unsuspecting members of Bergan\'s Band loitered in their buildings without even a single clue of what were happening to their most valuable possessions.

Meanwhile, Lucius and Kiana stayed inside of their inn and waited for the Lost Bore Shrews to return.

Kiana was at the edge of her seat, practically gripping the table in front of her in both anticipation and worry. She had confidence in Asher\'s brilliance, but she was also worried about what was going to happen when the Bore Shrews made their way to the Bergan\'s Band\'s vaults.

\'What if someone detects the creatures while they\'re in there? Of course, it\'s easy to pretend that it\'s nothing more but an infestation of Bore Shrews, we\'ve had to deal with them while building the Dionysia Brewery so they\'ll most likely be considered as pests if discovered and won\'t actually be connected to Lord Asher at all.\' Kiana thought and bit at her lip.

"What is it, Kiana?" Lucius noticed the uneasy look on her face and it slightly amused. Compared to the woman, he was seated in his own chair relaxed and lounging—he knew how the Lost Bore Shrews were doing so he had nothing to worry about.

In case of any unexpected changes during the stealing in the storage vault, Lucius could easily send new orders and give them directives.

While Gellor and his team were unable to discover what the routine and schedule of the Bergan\'s Band was when it came to guarding their headquarters, Lucius highly doubted that they\'d have someone stationed inside of the vault itself.

"What if someone stumbles into the Bore Shrews?" Kiana asked.

"What if… what if." Lucius pondered on her question. "The risk of that happening is highly unlikely. There\'s no doubt that there will be guards stationed at the vault but no one will be inside itself. And with how thick vaults are, they will be unable to hear the Bore Shrews entering the vault and will be none the wiser."

"Yes, that is true…" Kiana said, slightly calming down.

"But on the occasion that someone happened to stumble into the vault while the Bore Shrews were working, well—the first order is to hide themselves and stay undetected, the second order is to pretend to be pests that somehow managed to make their way in through weakened stone… but there is also the option of eliminating the person." Lucius said.

"But wouldn\'t that pose a threat? People will realize if one of them went missing for too long." Kiana said.

"Yes, that\'s why it\'s a last case scenario." Lucius explained but then chuckled. "The chances of these things happening are zero, Kiana."

"And why is that, Asher?" Kiana asked.

"Because they\'ve returned at last." Lucius announced as he glanced down into the wooden floor of their rented room.

Lucius had made it a point to stay in one of the inn\'s rooms that were on the first floor and the reason for that was to allow the Lost Bore Shrews an opportunity to make their way back to him.

They dug through the wooden board and popped up, a Lost Bore Shrew had a Rune Crystal in its mouth.

Lucius plucked it up and admired the crystal in his hand and knew that there were more to come.

"This is a common Rune Crystal, hmm, it seems like Bergan\'s Band isn\'t as wealthy as I thought if they only have a majority of common ranked Rune Crystals, but either way, there is more to come." Lucius commented as he placed one in his pocket. "And it will be a headache for them all the same."

Kiana watched a multitude of rune crystals and gems pushed out of the opening in the ground quickly followed by the Lost Bore Shrews themselves.

There was a sudden overflow of wealth in the floorboards of the inn while the Bergan\'s Band members all remained unaware of this.

The sight of the treasures in front of her and the thought of the lack of knowledge of the Bergan\'s Band losing a great amount of their wealth via Bore Shrews made Kiana laugh for a moment.

Kiana\'s shoulders shook and she shook her head in disbelief. She was overjoyed and the distraught that she had vanished all away as she glanced in Asher\'s direction.

"You did it, Asher! And they don\'t know a single thing!" Kiana bursted.

"Hush now, Kiana." Lucius said. "We must remain silent and avoid as much attention, shouldn\'t we?"

"Oh, of course. My apologies." Kiana cleared her throat and straightened up. "Will I be storing these away now, Asher?"

"I\'ve only come to show you, but the Bore Shrews will be the ones in charge of storing these treasures. The Bergan\'s Band will definitely search for their treasure and so we must not have anything on our person." Lucius explained.

"Of course." Kiana nodded fervently.

Kiana already had the Mark of Loyalty on her person, Lucius had ensured all of this beforehand, but even now, Kiana continued to find herself falling deeper into her faith and trust in Lord Asher.

\'This fealty and zealousness, even the Tharian Theocracy would find it at an incredible level.\' Lucius thought to himself.

"I can\'t wait for when the Bergan\'s Band realizes what they\'re missing, Asher."
