<h4>Chapter 366: Theft from thieves</h4>
The footage from the American Satellites was being seen by many people, including the key officials of the States as well as by the people at the Dark Uprising Pce.
"He seems to be looking for someone. If it’s only that, we should be able to get him out of here faster. He needs to know that we can help him find what he’s looking for if he agrees to leave peacefully!" The Leader of the Dark Uprising told one of the Kings.
"Your Majesty, Twelfth King, and Thirteenth King are near that state. They can get there faster. Should we send them? Adrian killed the person who tried talking to him. A king needs to talk to him," The Fifth King suggested.
"There’s no need. First had alreadynded there. He should be able to handle it," the Leader replied in a grim tone.
"Alright. That’s all the time we had for today. I need to go to mywyer and have some more boring stuff to do. You should go back," Ryder told Keia after he helped her finish shopping.
"Hmph, you’re so stingy with your time. Fine! I’m leaving!" Keia replied as she pouted.
She turned back to leave. She had only taken two steps before she turned back.
"What happened?" Ryder asked in confusion as he saw hering back.
"I forgot something. You owe me something!" Keia said as she stopped in front of Ryder.
"What?" Ryder asked in confusion as Keia said that.
Keia didn’t reply to him and simply hugged him tightly.
"The first time we met. You did something," Keia muttered as she slid her hand down and ced her hand on Ryder’s butt.
"Now we’re equal," sheughed lightly as she released him.
Ryder remembered that he had done that when he was thinking that she was a thief while looking for his purse in the back pocket. He hadn’t known that the thief was a girl.
’So that’s what she meant,’ he thought as he smiled wryly.
Keia turned back to leave; however, she didn’t as her hand was caught by Ryder.
Keia looked back at him, wondering why he held her hand when Ryder suddenly pulled her, embracing her.
"Now we’re equal," he whispered in her ear after giving her a tight hug.
He freed her and went back to his car, leaving the stunned Keia standing there. Starting his car, he left.
Keia looked at the car leaving before she startedughing.
"Interesting guy indeed," she muttered with an amused smile on her face before she walked towards the ck SUV of her n.
She walked inside the car.
The SUV started driving away, only stopping at a charging station.
Saelyn went inside the restaurant nearby with Keia and others while the car charged.
When it was time to leave, Saelyn tried to pull his wallet out; however, he realized that his wallet was missing. A confusion filled expression appeared on his face.
"I don’t have my wallet. Did you steal it, Young Miss?" Saelyn asked Keia.
"Hmm? I don’t have mine either!"
"My wallet is missing too!"
One after another, all of Keia’s men said the same thing.
Keia didn’t reply as she looked outside the window.
"Interesting guy. Is this your way of showing off?" Keia muttered as she smiled.
It was when her phone started ringing.
She looked at the caller ID, realizing that it was Ryder who was calling.
Ryder was driving his Whirlwind as a couple of wallets rested on the dashboard of his car.
"Little Thief, I don’t know if you realize it or not, but your men are missing their wallets. I have ced all their cards inside your purse. As for the cash, that can be my payback for what I spent on your shopping. Have fun," Ryder smiled before he disconnected the call without waiting for a response.
Keia opened her purse and found a bunch of ID cards of her men and their credit cards.
Bringing them out of her purse, she distributed them to their owners.
"So, I was right. Young Miss, you’re getting better at the art of Theft. Next time, please test it on someone else, though," Saelyn said as he smiled wryly before he paid with the card.
"Where are our wallets, though?" He asked after paying.
"They’re with a thief," Keia chuckled as she shook her head.
They left the restaurant and went back in their car before they left the city.
Ryder went to hiswyer to get the documents ready and left only after getting the contract.
Leaving the office of thewyer, he sent a mail to Keia with the documents before calling her.
"Herriet, I’ve sent you the contract. You can read it and we can talk about it tomorrow. You can mark the points you’re unsatisfied about," he told her before he disconnected the call.
After finishing up the matter about the ACL contract, he took his Whirlwind towards the Police Station where the Police Chief stayed.
Entering the station, he went straight to the office of the Police Chief.
Without knocking, he entered the office.
"It’s you. Don’t you know it’s bad manners to enter without knocking?" The Police Chief asked Ryder.
"Mr. Mak Donner, Don’t you know it’s bad manners to have a guy’s sister kidnapped, especially when you’re supposed to protect the city?" Ryder inquired with equal sarcasm as he sat in front of Police Chief Mak.
The Police Chief looked at Ryder with a frown.
"Get straight to the point. You got the settlement longer from our department! Why are you here now? Are you still not satisfied?" The Police Chief asked Ryder.
" The settlement was for you arresting Alice wrongly and not letting her use her basic rights. It wasn’t for you attacking us, was it?" Ryder asked with an amused smile on his face.
"I didn’t have a hand in it. We investigated and found that they were just petty gangs who probably tried to kidnap your sister since they found her to be pretty. Unfortunately, the only man we managed to arrest alive on the case died. The case is closed. Simple," the Police Chief replied as he smiled while looking at Ryder as if trying to show him that Ryder couldn’t do anything.
"You’re right. That case is closed indeed, but we both know who the real culprit was. Don’t we, Mr. Donner? Anyway, I’m here to tell you that the police department will have another case soon. The case about the suicide of Police Cheif Donner," Ryder smirked.
"Hah, that’s the stupidest threat I heard," the Police Chief said as he startedughing.
