Funinna, please let me steal your heart!

“But those aren’t all the same people,” Silver said.

"If it's a phantom thief, then we have to catch him."

Time passed in the chat room.

When I came to my senses, the host had already come back on stage.

"They're here," Navia said to herself.

Myles took out his pocket watch: "Hmm... the time has indeed come."

“But what about the Phantom Thief?” Silver asked, puzzled.

"They might be in the crowd, keep a close eye on them."

"Order."

Navia glanced at the expectant guests and then looked back at the stage in front of her.

The host cleared his throat and smiled, "The time has come, I'm sure you're all eager to get started!"

"Urgent, urgent, urgent!"

"Yes, I'm so anxious! Where are my tears of youth? Let me see them!"

"They can do anything!"

The host raised his hands and gently pressed them down. The room quickly quieted down.

He paced back and forth, feigning mystery, and said, "But before revealing the secret, let me keep you in suspense for a moment. As you all know, the value of a gem is determined by people, but that's because—the gem doesn't touch everyone's heart."

The definition of beauty varies from person to person; what you consider beautiful, others may not. But to say that 'there is no absolute beauty, no universally accepted beauty' is a grave mistake….

"Why am I so sure? You'll understand soon enough."

He raised his hand to make room for him.

"Please, our dear President Marcel, reveal to us the embodiment of 'beauty'!"

Amid applause, Marcel smiled and walked to the side of the stage.

He pinched a corner of the cover and slowly lifted it up, and everyone craned their necks to look inside.

And just at this moment...

The sound of shattering echoed throughout the space.

Navia instinctively looked towards the source of the sound, only to see shattered glass...

And that pure white, beautiful figure.

She landed lightly, her dazzling blonde hair drawing attention more than any of her works. Her white and gold clothing clung to her body, making her look like a prince who had wandered in from nowhere.

But the mask covering his eyes and the sword and gun at his waist told everyone that the visitor was up to no good.

Luna bowed slightly in greeting.

"The phantom thief White Cat has arrived as promised. I will accept the girl's tears."

4: The Beginning of a Twisted Fate

The phantom thief has really arrived!

But what surprised Navia was not only this, but more importantly—her appearance was completely different from what Navia had imagined.

Did it just crash through the glass window?

According to the novel, shouldn't it be that when the lights suddenly go out and everyone is anxious, the lights suddenly come back on, only to find that the important treasure has disappeared?

Moreover, they didn't blend into the crowd to wait for an opportunity; they simply barged in.

Silver muttered, "Is this more of a robber than a phantom thief?"

He spoke Navia's mind.

But that's no longer the key point.

Because right after Luna introduced herself, her figure disappeared in the blink of an eye. Only by quickly shifting my gaze could I catch her leaping over the pedestal.

In her hands, the radiance of a young girl's tears was shimmering.

So fast!

She sensed the flow of elemental power just now; does she also have the Eye of God?

I thought the phantom thief would leave and run away after stealing it, but to my surprise, she stood steadily on the pedestal, examining the gem in her hand.

"So that's how it is, this is the 'Tears of a Maiden'."

The teardrop-shaped gemstone is crystal clear, seemingly without a single impurity. Its water-like patterns shimmer under the light, truly befitting a B-grade treasure, making it impossible to look away.

Luna wiped away her tears and realized that the guards and members of the Rose of the Thorn Society had surrounded her in full armor.

"That's enough, you damned criminal! Surrender now!"

"You have no way to escape!"

That's a classic scene.

What should she say in this situation? Luna pondered.

"No." — That's too simplistic and not elegant at all.

"Heh heh heh, you're dreaming!"—This is no different from the words of a petty villain on the street.

Only then did Luna realize that she had forgotten to prepare something.

That's a line from the Phantom Thief.

What makes someone a dashing phantom thief?

Should we use a slightly exaggerated word? Like the goddess Funina of Fontainebleau?

"Kneel down on the ground now!" The guards approached slowly.

If we don't speak up now, it will be too late.

There was nothing she could do... Luna clutched her chest and gracefully twirled around: "Everyone is so enthusiastic, it's just a pity the stage here is too small. If you want me to stay, I'd have to shed at least a hundred tears of joy, right?"

"Don't even think about it, just surrender!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a sword flashed toward her knee.

Luna flipped backward and leaped high into the air, landing on the wall as lightly as a cat.

"Such a welcome is a bit too enthusiastic. Now that I have the treasure, please excuse me. See you next time."

Gather the wind element at your feet, then unleash it.

The sudden acceleration transformed her into a white blur, soaring over countless people and landing silently at the gate. She then evaded the pursuit of the guards and members of the Rose Thorn Society, disappearing into the night.

Miles exclaimed, "It really does look like a cat, with that agile movement."

Silver: "But her hair is blonde, just like the young lady's. Why call her White Cat instead of Golden Cat?"

"With that outfit, she'd definitely be called Platinum Cat. Besides, now's not the time for sentimentality. She stole the Maiden's Tears; let's chase after her!"

After saying that, Navia strode off quickly.

That figure was hardly elegant; she had no trace of ladylike grace whatsoever.

Myles shook his head and said, "Miss is still the same as always. A lady is one who doesn't speak or move..."

"Shouldn't we follow?"

"I'll follow. But whether I can keep up or not is another matter."

Navia possesses the Eye of God, and even without using elemental power, her physical abilities surpass those of ordinary people, not to mention that Navia herself has excellent physical qualities.

Silver nodded vigorously and looked around.

"...Which way should we go?"

"You should take off your sunglasses first."

"Wouldn't that make me just like any other passerby?"

Compared to the seemingly relaxed Rose Society, the atmosphere at the security post was tense.

"Seal off the scene! We can't rule out the possibility that she has accomplices. Meanwhile, Team One and Team Two, give chase! Team Three, quickly find the Special Patrol Team and request their emergency deployment. Then, join forces and surround her!"

Under normal circumstances, the security force would be more than capable of handling the situation.

Unfortunately, they are not good at chasing down phantom thieves.

This time, the phantom thief is even more powerful than the phantom thief Mink who has been around for over a decade. He is also suspected to be the holder of the Eye of God. Instead of blindly chasing after him, it would be better to leave it to the experts.

Special patrol teams are adept at handling these kinds of tricky cases.

Hostage situation.

Armed attack.

Violent attacks by rioters... these situations can be handled optimally as long as the special patrol team is involved.

..........

Speaking of the special patrol team, we must mention the current captain, Xia Wore.

Her long purple hair and the eye patch over her left eye are the most striking features of her appearance.

Despite her beautiful features, she often wears a cool and aloof expression, but this unique composure often gives her teammates a great sense of security.

"Emergency mobilization! All personnel line up!"

At a command, the special patrol team members, all wearing tall hats, lined up with their guns and stood ramrod straight.

"The perpetrator in this case calls herself the Phantom Thief White Cat. Based on her movements, she is probably in the city center area. You all need to follow my instructions and stay at your designated positions. Shoot her as soon as you see her. Even if you can't incapacitate her, you can't let her leave."

"Yes!"

"Then, Special Patrol Team, move out!"
