Swindler Soros (Seeking Collection)

  Xia Ming and Tang Ge were walking on the main street, Tang Ge was still amazed at Xia Ming's mastery of pharmacy, and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Xia Ming, you're really amazing, not only is your magic cultivation good, but you also excel in pharmacy, even in the Cang Yan Academy, it's rare to see someone like you..."

  Magic requires great concentration and energy. Generally speaking, magicians rarely have the energy to learn other skills, such as alchemy, inscription, forging...

  Ke Xiaoming was so young, yet he was not only proficient in magical materials knowledge, but also seemed to be quite skilled in potion-making, which left Tong Ge somewhat shocked.

  Xia Ming smiled and did not directly answer Tang Ge's words. Tang Ge also didn't ask further, everyone has their own secrets, of course Tang Ge wouldn't be foolish.

  Two people walked on the main street, which was bustling with crowds at this time.

  One by one, pedestrians came face to face, some people even accidentally bumped into Tang Ge. Tang Ge's eyebrows were tightly locked: "Damn it, why are there so many people!"

  Xia Ming also found it strange, there were too many people.

  He had just taken a couple of steps when Tang Ge's face suddenly changed and he shouted: "Damn it, my gold coins have been stolen!"

  "What?" Xia Ming was taken aback, and exclaimed in surprise: "How could it be stolen?" Tang Ge was at least a fifth-level warrior approaching sixth level, with extremely keen spiritual awareness. Ordinary people would easily detect anyone who approached with ill intentions, let alone a thief!

  "I don't know, probably it was stolen when there were a lot of people just now. The thief stole the cloth bag with gold coins in my arms..." Tang Ge's face turned somewhat solemn, able to steal things from his arms without him noticing, truly "a master thief"!

  Xia Ming's face was slightly solemn, his spiritual power opened up to investigate the surroundings, but he didn't find anything unusual. His expression became even more serious, and he couldn't even detect any anomalies with his own spiritual power. What did this indicate? It indicated that the thief's ability to conceal their aura was extremely formidable!

  "How many coins did you lose?"

  "More than fifty gold coins, not a lot, but..." Tang Ge let out a cold snort. The thief had actually stolen from him right under his nose, and what's more, it was around the area of Cang Yan Academy. This made Tang Ge extremely angry.

  Just as Xiaoming and Tang Ge were at a loss, staring blankly at each other, a delicate-looking little girl around ten years old walked over and asked, "Excuse me, sirs, did you two lose some gold coins?"

  What's going on?!

  Xia Ming looked at the little girl's innocent and lovely face, Xia Ming nodded: "Yes, little sister, what's wrong?"

  The little girl smiled slightly, with a hint of shyness: "Two adults, just now an adult asked me to tell you that if you want to get back the lost gold coins, go to the 'Dark Night Rose' tavern in the academy."

  The little girl finished speaking and walked away with a gentle smile.

  "Midnight Rose Tavern?" Xia Mingzhuo rubbed his chin thoughtfully and asked, "Do you know this place?"

  Tang Ge's face showed a hint of ambiguity: "Of course I know this place, it's the most famous and romantic spot in our college."

  Looking at Tang Ge's ambiguous expression, thinking about Tang Ge's fondness for beauties, Xia Ming also roughly understood what the so-called Midnight Rose Tavern was.

  "Let's go! We'll go to the Dark Night Rose Tavern and take a look, who is the thief that stole my money pouch!" Tang Ge stomped his foot, and upon hearing the name of the tavern, he suddenly became spirited. The lecherous look on his face gave Xia Ming a headache.

  ……

  Cangyan Academy is like a small city, with a large number of people and complete facilities.

  The Dark Night Rose Tavern was thus born, a rather famous tavern that wasn't quite legitimate. The dim lighting, scantily clad seductive waitresses, and the laughter of men and women... all hinted to passersby: come on in, there's romance to be found here!

  Looking at Tang Ge's sparkling eyes, Xia Ming guessed that this guy must come here often.

  Entering the tavern, Xiaoming's instincts warned him to be cautious, as the sneak thief who had stolen his spiritual perception was not a kind soul, so he should still be careful!

  Before he could take two steps, a familiar figure waved at Xiaoming.

  "Hey, Xiaoming little brother, over here!"

  Xia Ming took one look and it was actually Lan Ning, that old pervert! Thinking about it, it's normal. With this old rascal's surname, coming here is also very normal.

  Xia Ming walked up and only then discovered that there was another person sitting next to Lan Ning, a slender and somewhat short man with an ordinary appearance, pointed ears, and fine eyes, looking very common, who was also smiling at Xia Ming.

  "Hey, Xiaoming little brother, come on, I'll introduce you to someone. This guy next to me is the old scoundrel who just gave you two a gift, an even more shameless scoundrel than me!" Lan Ning pointed at the thin man and said.

  Faced with such evaluation, the man not only did not take it as a shame, but also had a kind of complacent feeling.

  "Just call me Soros, how was it? Wasn't my last move pretty good?"

  It was actually this ugly-looking Soros in front of him who stole Tong Ge's gold coins!

  Xia Ming was shocked, and Tang Ge's face was even more disbelieving: "Impossible, I am a fifth-level warrior, how could such a weak man who can't even kill a level one demon like the Red Skinned Pig steal my gold coins?"

  The man named Soros did not respond to Tong Ge's words, but instead let out a faint smile, his fingers slightly twitching, almost imperceptibly shaking a few times, and flashing on Tong Ge's body for an instant.

  Tang Ge was shocked and hastily reached into his inner pocket, only to find that his money pouch had returned. He took it out and weighed it, not a single gold coin was missing!

  Xia Ming's eyes lit up, he didn't see Soros' action just now at all, but Tong Ge's gold coin was returned under the gaze of everyone, this kind of thievery skill is simply unbelievable!

  Xia Ming took a deep look at Soros, this man was indeed extraordinary.

  "See? This is my great art!" Soros chuckled to himself, without any of the demeanor of a superior person, looking very pleased.

  Tang Ge suddenly seemed to remember something, muttered a few sentences, and suddenly shouted: "Soros, Soros, you are the swindler Soros!"

  Swindler Soros?

  Listening to this strange nickname, Xiaoming only saw Sorros's face change slightly, and he shouted: "Shut up quickly, there are so many people here, see a ghost, I'm still being pursued by the Black Dragon Union now!"

  Tang Ge closed his mouth and smiled wryly. Seeing Xia Ming's confusion, Tang Ge explained in a low voice: "The swindler Soros is our famous master-level thief on Flame Island, with a very notorious reputation. Currently, the largest underground force on Flame Island, the 'Black Dragon Union', is wanted for him!"

  It turned out to be the leader of the thieves!

  Xia Ming stared at Lan Ning, feeling a bit strange.

  Obviously, whether it was the mysterious Lanning or Soros, if they brought themselves to this tavern, what was their purpose?

  Lan Ning smiled calmly, with a look of disdain: "Old cheat, you're here less often. Can your thieving skills still be called art? My divination technique is the supreme and unparalleled art!"

  "Fart, you old lecher! You've become more boastful after just one day of not seeing me. The fart you let out is also unbearably stinky!" Soros spat, "That little piece of junk you call art? Even a street performer is better than you!"

  Lan Ning was originally still smiling, but after hearing this, he jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Old cheat, I'm going to duel you!" As he spoke, Lan Ning seemed to have suffered a great insult and started wrestling with Sorros!

  Soros was not to be outdone, and the two of them rolled around on the ground, punching and kicking. However, Soros proved to be a bit stronger, despite his slender build, and soon had Old Lanning's nose bleeding and face swollen.

  "No more, no more! I give up, stop hitting my face!" Old Lan Ning cried out in a miserable tone, covering her face while shouting: "Alright, alright, you old cheat! Ah, stop hitting me, I'll tell you something, Xiaoming's little brother, Xiaoming's little brother is an expert in pharmacology!"

  Upon hearing these words, Soros's expression changed instantly, as if he had frozen in place, but his pair of sharp eyes stared fixedly at Xiaoming!
