Chapter 40: The Arrogant and Daring Thief (1)

Su Zi'an didn't know that Su Luo had already escaped. At this moment, he was about to enter the Treasure Pavilion.

However, when he saw the chain hanging on the doorframe, his expression immediately turned extremely grim.

This chain was made by the capital's foremost master craftsman, and only the key he carried could open it.

But now, the lock had been opened by someone, and it was brazenly hung back, looking so ironic.

Su Zi'an's face instantly stiffened. He pushed open the door and roared, "Light the lamps!"

Soon, the Guard beside him handed him a lantern, then lit the candles inside the room.

The first floor looked messy and chaotic, clearly having been rummaged through.

This thief was also incredibly arrogant and daring, not putting anything back in its original place!

He stepped onto the second floor.

Evidently, the second floor had also been searched, but nothing seemed to be missing.

But the more this was the case, the uglier Su Zi'an's expression became, because he knew that this thief must be a master. Since he didn't care for the first or second floor, his target must have been the third floor.

Indeed!

When Su Zi'an reached the third floor and saw the situation in the hall, his head immediately buzzed, his throat sweetened, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

With just one glance, he saw the small black hole on the floor! It was where the heavenly spirit water was stored.

Besides the Old Ancestor, only he knew about this place, but now it had been uncovered!

Su Zi'an felt his limbs go weak, almost unable to stand.

Steadying himself, he forced himself to check, and indeed found that the wooden box inside was gone.

Hateful, infuriating!

Su Zi'an was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

The heavenly spirit water in that small box was the most precious treasure of his Su Residence!

But what angered him even more was that, besides the heavenly spirit water, there was also that treasure map. That treasure map was the most valuable item!

That was the legendary map to open the Eight Desolations Divine Tomb, sought by powerful experts across the entire continent. Although it was just a fragment, if it were to be revealed, it would cause great chaos throughout the world!

Now, it had actually been stolen along with the heavenly spirit water.

Su Zi'an trembled with rage, unable to utter a word. He felt like he was going crazy.

"Search! The thief must be found!" He'd have them cut into a thousand pieces! Su Zi'an trembled all over with anger.

Suddenly, his eyes caught sight of something in the black hole. He picked it up and found it was a purple fish jade pendant.

Could this purple fish jade pendant have been left behind by the thief?

What was this? Stealing something and leaving a token? What an arrogant thief!

Su Zi'an felt that if the thief were standing before him now, he would surely strangle them to death.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that the thief he hated so much was precisely the daughter he considered most useless.

"Send this jade pendant to the Mercenary Guild and have them investigate all information related to it as quickly as possible!" Su Zi'an believed that as long as this jade pendant was investigated, the thief from tonight would have nowhere to hide.

He absolutely had to find the thief and show them whether the Su Residence was a place they could come and go from as they pleased!

However, at this moment, the Guard looked hesitant, wanting to speak but holding back.

"Why aren't you going!" Su Zi'an roared in anger.

"Great General, this jade pendant… I-I've seen it before," the Guard stammered, hesitating.

"You've seen it? Where exactly have you seen it?" Su Zi'an's body suddenly shook, and he stared at the other party in disbelief.
