novelThe Master of the Hidden Web
| ← Ch.0633 | Ch.0635 → |
In a park in Hong Kong, a woman with blond hair and blue eyes dumped the toilet paper on the ground and cursed, "Damn it! How could this happen!? It must be the Huaxia person who makes fun of me!"
The blonde woman cursed while turning back, "I'm Art Dodger, and I can steal whatever I want. The paintings of Picasso will definitely belong to me."
After being visited by an antique thief, Qin Haodong became more cautious. He and Nalan Wushaung had never left the room and their meals were directly delivered to the door.
But nothing special happened as time went by. Some thieves who tried to sneak in were caught by Zhang Tieniu and then sent to the police station.
Qin Haodong was sure that the thief who had stolen the toilet paper was not among them. They would definitely come back.
There was no sound in the dark night and Zhang Tieniu was still looking around vigilantly.
Qin Haodong and Nalan Wushuang were sleeping in the bedroom and a hole suddenly appeared on the wall.
It was not big, about the size of an adult's fist. But a black figure slowly squeezed past.
The figure fell on the floor of the living room without making any sound and then stood up slowly. She was actually a busty woman—it was impossible for her to come in from that small hole!
The woman was dressed in black and her face was hidden behind a black mask. She looked just like a dexterous black cat and made no noise while walking around. She looked around warily and approached the paintings of Picasso after confirming everything was safe.
She held the paintings in her hand and checked them carefully one by one before leaving. After confirming that they were authentic, she rolled them into scrolls and was about to leave.
But suddenly the lights in the living room were turned on and she heard a light voice, "What happened? Have you used all the toilet paper you've stolen in the morning? Are you on your period?"
The woman turned around in astonishment and saw Qin Haodong, who was in pajamas, and the sexy Nalan Wushuang standing at the door, looking at her with a playful face.
Then she found that the paintings in her arm turned into toilet paper once again.
The woman turned around without saying anything and tried to escape, but she was surprised to find that the room had totally changed. Both the small holes and the windows had disappeared and she was locked here—there was no way out!
"This is impossible. It must be a trick."
As one of the world's best thieves, she was experienced and didn't believe that windows could disappear into thin air. She was sure that it was all a ploy and the windows were still there.
She made up her mind and careered into the "window". She had observed the whole room and memorized the direction of the window when she came in.
She thought that it was easy to smash the window open and run away.
Qin Haodong looked at her quietly with a playful smile on his face.
The woman hit the wall like a gust of wind and then fell to the ground with a bang. It was really a wall and there were no windows here.
Qin Haodong laughed and said, "What are you doing here? You may be good at yoga and have already reached the Small Completion, but you still can't go through the wall."
The formation he had set up in this room was complex and confusing. It could both cause hallucinations and change people's sense of direction, which explained why the woman hit the real wall instead of the window.
She was dizzy and tried to get up from the ground. But Qin Haodong suddenly removed her veil before she realized what had happened.
He was slightly stunned at the sight of her face. He was surprised that the thief was a woman, but he had never expected that she was a beautiful woman and was even as charming as Alice, the president of the World Medical Association.
"How dare you remove my mask! You dirty dog!"
The woman could speak Huaxia language, and her wording was also careful and clear.
Qin Haodong was astonished and didn't know what to say. This woman had snuck into his house to steal the painting and yet she dared to accuse him of not being a gentleman?
He glanced at the female thief and said, "All right, I'm a dirty dog. Then who are you? Why are you here in a dirty dog's house?"
"Well..."
She froze for a moment but then said forcefully, "There's something good in your house, and it's quite normal for a thief to come over and steal it."
"Damn it. I've never seen such a shameless girl." Qin Haodong started at her and said, "Following that logic, I can take advantage of you since you're a beautiful girl and I'm a young qualified man."
The woman looked at him nervously and said, "How dare you!"
Qin Haodong smiled and said, "You're good at stealing and I'm sure no one knows you're here. Therefore, I can insult or even kill you without alarming the police."
"What..." She suddenly saw Nalan Wushuang who was standing beside Qin Haodong and retorted, "Your wife is here and I'm sure you wouldn't do that."
"Yes, I wouldn't do that because you're ugly and I'm not interested in you." Qin Haodong turned to Nalan Wushuang and said, "Honey, I'll leave this woman to you. Don't let her run away."
"Okay."
Nalan Wushuang agreed and then walked toward the female thief.
The female thief's eyes flashed, and she suddenly jumped up, pouncing at Nalan Wushuang. She grabbed Nalan Wushuang by her neck and pulled out a shining dagger from her pocket.
She was no match for the young man, so her only choice was to catch his wife as a hostage to escape from here.
But she had never expected that the couple had been practicing pair cultivation and both of them were at the 6th level of the supreme power realm. A thief like her was nothing compared to them.
She felt dizzy and fell to the ground once again before realizing what had happened. She lost her dagger and was trampled underfoot by Nalan Wushuang.
She struggled and tried to perform yoga, which was her best skill, only to find that she was controlled by an invisible force from Nalan Wushuang and couldn't even move her fingers.
Qin Haodong squatted down, looked at her playfully, and said, "You're not good enough to take a hostage."
The female thief had never been treated like this. She cried out in annoyance and said, "Let me go, or both of you will be dead!"
Qin Haodong said calmly, "You're just a stupid thief. Please, don't be so arrogant."
She shouted angrily, "I'm not stupid. I'm Artful Dodger."
"Artful Dodger? It sounds quite unique but you're not worthy of this name. You've stolen toilet paper twice from me and you still dare to call yourself an artful dodger?"
The female thief cried, "This is just an accident. Let me go and we can start over again."
Qin Haodong said, "I'm too busy to play games with you. Give me 1, 000, 000, 000 yuan, and I'll let you go!"
The female thief cried angrily, "1, 000, 000, 000 yuan? Are you crazy!?"
"Aren't you Artful Dodger? It seems that you've stolen many treasures these years and I think 1, 000, 000, 000 yuan is not a big sum of money for you. Do you prefer money to your life?"
At this thought, Qin Haodong looked at her coldly and said, "I'll give you ten seconds to think about it. If you're unwilling to pay, I'll destroy your yoga skills and turn you into a cripple."
"How dare you?"
The woman cursed Qin solemnly, but a flicker of panic crossed her eyes.
"Ten... Nine... Eight... Seven..."
Qin Haodong began to count down, and the female thief said hurriedly, "I don't have enough money! I really can't afford it!"
"I don't believe it. You're quite good at stealing since you can snuck into our room without alarming the guards outside. How can you be poor? I don't think you want to stay alive!"
"Three... two... one..."
Qin Haodong's face clouded at the end of his counting process. He wanted to give the thief a chance since she was a girl, but he didn't expect her to be so stingy.
He shouted at Nalan Wushuang, "Do it! Destroy her dantian and break her limbs."
She became panicked and shouted before Nalan Wushuang took any actions, "You can't do this! My father is Matheus, God of Darkness! Both of you will be killed if you hurt me!"
"I've never heard of Matheus, God of Darkness!" Qin Haodong said coldly, "I'll give you one last chance. If you can't pay 1, 000, 000, 000 yuan, your cultivation will be destroyed."
The female thief cried, "My father is God of Darkness, the master of the Hidden Web. You will be chased after for the rest of your life if you hurt me."
"Wait a minute!"
Qin Haodong suddenly thought of something when he heard the Hidden Web. He had never heard of God of Darkness, but the Hidden Web was famous. Both Saber and Hu Xiaoxian had told something about the Hidden Web.
It controlled countless killers and had powerful information resources. It was said that there was nothing in the world that they couldn't find.
He had tried to find the controller behind the Hidden Web for a long time but had gotten nothing. It was a surprise that this thief mentioned it today.
He locked a dozen acupoints, picked her up from the ground, and threw her on the sofa. Then, he used the Mind-Manipulating Skill and asked, "What's your name? Is your father really the controller of the Hidden Web?"
She answered, "Yes. My name is Donnie Randall, and my father is Matheus, the controller of the Hidden Web. But it will be my 20th birthday in three days, and he'll hand the entire Hidden Web over to me."
Qin Haodong asked, "You are the daughter of Matheus, the heir to the Hidden Web... Why do you choose to be a thief?"
Donnie Randall said, "I've dreamed of killing the rich to help the poor since I was still a child. My father also promised that I could do whatever I wanted before my 20th birthday. That's why I'm an outstanding antique thief.
"The collectors of antiques are all super-rich. I can steal their treasures and then sell them to help the poor."
