Antonio opened his mouth in response to the sound outside the door, and right after he finished speaking, the door was opened. The person who walked out was Paul in a suit, and after Paul was a man in a cassock. He was the pastor of the local church in Adelia, Oliver. Antonio had seen him quite often in the past few days.
"Your Excellency, it's great that you are still here..."
As soon as he saw Antonio in the room, Professor O'Neal spoke with a tone of relief. Looking at the two people in front of him, Antonio frowned slightly, and then immediately spoke.
"I'll be leaving in a dozen minutes. Why did you suddenly come to see me? What's the matter?"
"It is like this, Your Excellency the Great Master. Not long ago, the Pure Flow Church, the Enlight Church, and the headquarters of the Deep Hidden Guards all received this thing. Please take a look."
As he spoke, Owen took out a blue card from his pocket and handed it to Antonio. After taking the card, Antonio turned it over and saw that there were some short words written on it. After reading these words, his expression froze slightly.
"When night begins to fall again, I will come to the Pure Stream and see the greatest legacy King Emanuel left for this city.
"Thief K."
"Is this... a warning letter from Thief K?" Antonio muttered with a frown as he looked at the words on the card in front of him. He didn't expect that just when he was thinking about Thief K, the other party's warning letter came over! ?
"Yes, it's Thief K! The Thief K that was reported in the newspaper before. She is indeed a Beyonder thief. She is now eyeing the Crown of Emmanuel, Your Excellency."
Looking at Antonio sitting on the chair, Paul spoke directly. He had already seen the newspapers about the Shining Pearl and Thief K. Now when he got the card, he immediately understood what Thief K wanted to do.
It was obvious that this extraordinary thief was about to start attacking his target again, and this target was obviously the Adelia treasure, the Crown of Emmanuel, which was on display in the Pure Flow Church!
"This kind of notice... is indeed the style of the rumored thief K... She is going to attack the Crown of Emmanuel this time, which means... her target has always been various treasures?"
Antonio continued to examine the words on the card and said slowly. He was confused before. Did the thief K steal the Deep Blue Heart to go against the Sea Abyss Church? Or did he just want to steal this treasure? Now it seems that the answer is obviously the second one. This thief K is a pure extraordinary thief who specializes in stealing extraordinary treasures! Her eyes are not only on the Sea Abyss Church, but now she is so bold that she has set her sights on the church.
"Sir, these warning cards were found at noon today at the same time in three places: the Pure Flow Church, the Grace Church, and the Deep Hidden Guard Headquarters. We can completely rule out the possibility of a prank. Thief K took this opportunity to send this warning letter, obviously just to avoid you, Sir."
At this time, Paul said this to Antonio again, and Oliver beside him nodded and agreed.
"Mr. Paul is right. This thief K is obviously afraid of you, Antonio. So he didn't dare to say a word when you were in Adelia. As soon as the newspaper reported that you were gone, he immediately jumped out to send out this so-called advance notice. But she certainly didn't expect that you, Antonio, would be delayed for the whole morning due to something. When she sent the advance notice, you were actually still here. This was her great strategy.
"Although we don't know why this thief K had to send a notice letter to inform others before stealing, but since she is so arrogant that she has set her sights on the Crown of Emmanuel, it is the biggest provocation to us. Mr. Antonio, can you postpone your trip for another half a day and wait until tonight to help us capture this arrogant thief!"
With a serious look, O'Neal said this to Antonio. After listening to his words, Antonio was silent for a while, and then spoke slowly.
"I didn't expect that something like this would happen after just waiting for half a day. It just so happens... I also have some questions I want to ask this thief K in person. It would be great if I could meet her in person tonight..."
Antonio said this while looking at the card in his hand. Paul and Oliver on the side looked at each other while listening to his words. At this moment, they both knew that this extraordinary thief who had just become famous would not be able to escape tonight.
They waited until the Great Master left to send out the notice, but the Great Master was delayed by some unexpected matters and did not leave, so the notice letter was sent directly to the Great Master... In the eyes of Paul and O'Neill, this thief K had already been abandoned by fate.
…
Time flies, and soon an afternoon has passed. As the sun sinks into the western horizon, Adelia gradually falls into silence again.
The night enveloped the entire sky of Adeqiya. Under the night sky, lights were lit up. The lights on the shore and the lights reflected in the water complemented each other, allowing Adeqiya to show its own unique night beauty.
On the outskirts of Adexia city, on a cliff far away from the beautiful scenery in the city, a group of figures are gathering here. They are dressed differently and have different genders and ages. There are more than ten figures standing on the cliff, looking at the rolling sea water under the cliff with the faint moonlight in the sky. All of them have a serious expression.
In the center of these figures were two men in their thirties, one of whom was wearing a windbreaker, had brown skin and a thick beard, while the other wore a turban, a long robe, and a bow at his waist.
"What time is it now, Mufede? Hasn't the captain arrived yet?" In the sea breeze, the bearded man spoke to the man with his hands on his waist beside him, and the other party immediately responded.
"Don't worry, Saimu, our message has been successfully sent to the commander, he will be here soon, we just need to wait here..."
"Wait here... but this is a cliff, the boat can't even reach the shore... did you get to the wrong place?" After hearing this response, the man named Saimu looked at Mufede and asked back, while the other party smiled slightly and continued speaking.
"Heh... a boat? You don't think that you need a boat to cross the sea nowadays, do you, Saimu..."
As soon as Mufede finished speaking, there was a sudden burst of violent waves under the cliff. The people on the shore looked in the direction of the sound, and then saw a black shadow jumping out of the huge waves in the sea, directly leaping to a height of more than ten meters, and then falling from the air, landing behind them, and hitting the ground with a loud bang.
Hearing the noise, everyone turned their heads and looked behind them. What they saw was the gradually dispersing dust and the hideous figure behind the dust.
It was a deformed figure roughly in human shape, two or three meters tall, with tiny gray scales all over its body and a huge dorsal fin standing on its back. Where the human head should have been was actually a huge triangular shark head, with a bloody open mouth covered with fangs, and several scar-like gills opening and closing in the air.
What appeared in front of everyone was a half-human, half-shark, shark-like strange monster, which scared everyone at the scene so much that many people couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Ignoring the intentions of the crowd in front of him, the "Shark Man" who had just come ashore stretched his muscles and patted his chest. Then, a large translucent spirit emerged from the "Shark Man's" chest, suspended in the air, and swam beside the "Shark Man". It was a large ghost shark.
When the shark spirit left the body of "Shark Man", "Shark Man" suddenly began to undergo drastic changes all over his body. It was visible to the naked eye that his body began to shrink, his scales began to fall off, his fins gradually disappeared, and the hideous giant shark head began to gradually shrink and become a normal human head. Within a short period of time, the weird "Shark Man" turned into a human.
