Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

Chapter 12 Conflict in the Library

[Parker: No, I can’t think of any other way...]

It's easy to say that without the help of the power of that world, Peter would have done it long ago if he had a way to punish Thompson.

Lucas only glanced at it roughly and put the phone into his pocket. It wasn't that he didn't want to answer Peter, it was just...

"Classmate, do you want to buy something?"

"One piece of fried noodles and bread." Lucas said skillfully.

The chow mein bread at the canteen is really good, although it is only sold on Thursdays.

While eating the bread, Lucas took out his cell phone to reply to Peter.

[Lucas: Why not face to face?

Parker: Because my boredom is like a river that never stops flowing.

Lucas:…

Lucas: If that doesn't work, then we might as well use Hope's method. ]

"Have you made up your mind?" Hope's voice suddenly sounded from his ears.

Lucas:? ! !

He was so startled that he almost dropped his lunch and cell phone to the ground.

"If you can't think of any other way, just listen to me." Hope said.

"If you appear next to me quietly like this again, then I will seriously reconsider our cooperation." Lucas said expressionlessly.

"Don't be so stingy?!"

"You should know that I'm not the one who really should make the decision," Lucas said.

"That brown hair? Seriously?"

Lucas turned his head and looked at Hope, "You don't seem to think highly of Peter."

"That kid is not suitable to lead a team. He will either become a lone ranger or a team member who obeys orders. Maybe he has this potential in the future, but not now." Hope analyzed.

"But you are different, you are a born leader."

Lucas stopped immediately, "...Are you serious?"

Lucas himself doesn't think so highly of himself. If others don't take the initiative to talk to him, he will never speak. How can such a person become a leader.

"Hmph, I'm pretty good at judging people." Hope landed on Lucas's shoulder, "So are you, and so is that kid. You must have some confidence in yourself."

When Lucas returned to the classroom, he found that Peter was not here as promised.

[Lucas:?

Lucas: Where are you? ]

Waited two or three seconds.

[Peter: Sorry sorry.

Peter: Someone just asked me to go to the library to help bring the new lab manual back.

Lucas:…

Lucas: There are so many people in our class, do you have to move back by yourself?

Peter:! ! ! ]

Lucas couldn't help but sigh.

[Lucas:…

Lucas: Wait. ]

"What's wrong?" Hope asked.

"Go help." Lucas walked out of the classroom.

On the other side, Peter, who was looking at the phone screen, covered his face and said, "Ah, ah, I was still thinking of a way before and completely forgot about it."

Although Peter in the examination room is a god of academics, in life he is definitely a big man. It can only be said that no one is perfect.

"Forget it, it's not the first time I've been disliked by Lucas anyway."

However, Peter's mentality is very good.

"Let's talk about it in the library first."

Peter quickly put aside the shame he had just felt and walked briskly to the library.

……

"...I know what you are thinking about Gwen. In fact, you don't look down on me at all. In your heart, you only have the nerd Peter." There was a hint of anger in Thompson's tone.

"You asked me to pretend to be your girlfriend, and I did it, but you didn't do what you promised me!" Facing Thompson, Gwen didn't seem to show a weak expression.

"Girlfriend?" Thompson raised a cold smile and looked up and down Gwen's beautiful figure, "I remembered it, but you haven't fulfilled your obligations as a girlfriend at all, have you?"

The meaningful gaze made Gwen shrink her neck subconsciously. She felt Thompson's malice, and her arms around her chest tightened.

"I told you it's just pretending, and I don't have to fulfill my girlfriend's obligations to you." Gwen took a few steps back calmly.

"Hmph." Thompson snorted coldly, stepped forward and trapped Gwen under his tall figure, "But your current bargaining chip is no longer enough to keep your little boyfriend."

Thompson raised his hand to touch Gwen, but Gwen reacted very aggressively. She screamed: "Stay away from me!"

"Call, call, or do you think someone will come to the library during lunch break?" Thompson's hand clasped Gwen's shoulder and wrist.

"Are you crazy? Pervert! Scumbag!"

Gwen was forced into physical contact with Thompson, and was so disgusted that she had goosebumps. She struggled desperately, using her hands and feet to hit the male body close at hand, but after all, she was still a girl, and she had nothing to do with being a football player. Compared with Thompson as an athlete, it is completely incomparable.

Seeing Gwen struggling in his arms, Thompson's eyes were clear for a moment, and then fell into chaos.

He exerted force with his hand, and with a "stab" sound, Gwen's shirt opened in response, the buttons fell to the ground, and her snow-white skin was exposed to the air.

Gwen's eyes widened instantly. Even though she was a strong girl, facing the situation where her innocence was about to be taken away, her eyes still filled with mist. She gritted her teeth and spoke every word as if from behind. It looks like it is squeezed out of the teeth.

"Thompson, I won't let you go! You really make me sick!"

"I finally spoke my mind." Thompson raised Gwen's chin and looked into her eyes full of anger and hatred, "That's a really nice look. I don't know after I tasted your body. Will Butt still accept you?"

This sentence hit Gwen's heart hard, tears finally fell from her eyes, and there was deathly silence in her blue eyes.

"...bastard!" A thick book was suddenly thrown from behind Thompson, hitting his broad back and making a dull sound.

This familiar voice made Gwen's eyes sparkle again.

No matter how strong a Thompson is, he is still a human being, and it will still hurt if he is hit by a book twice as thick as the Xinhua Dictionary.

He turned angrily to his attacker, meeting Peter's gaze who was also glaring at him.

"Let me go Gwen!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity given by Peter, Gwen raised her foot and stepped hard on Thompson's instep. When he relaxed his grip in pain, he finally broke free.

After freeing her hands, Gwen raised her hand and slapped him, then ran behind Peter.

Peter did not comfort Gwen. He raised his arms to protect her firmly behind him and looked at Thompson warily.

Thompson turned his face, which was deflected by Gwen's slap. A red slap mark appeared on his face, and he looked at the two of them with a gloomy look.

"Hey, you came just in time." Thompson laughed angrily, "I want to see how you are going to protect your beloved girl."

"Peter...Peter, he's crazy..." Gwen grabbed Peter's clothes and said tremblingly.

In fact, Thompson came from the same middle school as them, but Gwen Peter and Harry formed a trio of good friends.

Although Thompson was a little jealous of Peter at that time and said some weird words, he didn't do anything extreme. In essence, this guy was not a bad person.

However, I don’t know since when, Thompson has become more and more strange, especially today, it is like a different person...

Gwen held Peter's hand shaking slightly.

The door of the library opened again. Lucas looked at the scene of the three people confronting each other. Gwen, who was naked from the waist down to only a bra, swept past. Lucas took out his mobile phone and took a photo.

"I have already filmed it. If you want to do anything, I will run to the office immediately and tell the teacher." Lucas said calmly, "This is the evidence."

Lucas was standing at the door of the library. If he escaped, it would definitely be too late, and the current situation was still three against one, which meant that Thompson had no choice now.

"Hey." Thompson seemed to have suddenly lost interest. He walked up to Lucas and stared at him, "You are very talented..."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Humph." Thompson lowered his eyes, "I remember I warned you not to be the one who stands out."

Lucas looked directly at Thompson without fear, "In that case, what are the rumors about me in this school? When you provoke someone, you should be mentally prepared to be beaten back."

A flash of surprise flashed across Thompson's face, then he raised his hands to cover his face and laughed softly. He raised his head and looked at Lucas, "Hahaha, interesting, let's make a bet."

"What bet?"

"Since you want to fight back, why not do it directly." Thompson took a step forward and stopped on Lucas' shoulder. "How about meeting in the back alley of the school in two weeks?"

Lucas turned his head, "Where's the bet?"

Thompson couldn't hold back his laughter, "Haha, you are quite confident."

But his eyes were cold, "If you lose, transfer to another school and leave. If I lose, I will stop targeting Parker and stay away from Gwen."

"It's a deal," Lucas said without missing a beat.

Thompson left the library.

Gwen's feet softened and she knelt on the ground.

"Gwen!" Peter turned around and blushed suddenly after seeing the large expanse of white snow, "Yes... I'm sorry."

He hurriedly took off his coat and handed it to Gwen while turning his head, "First... put on my coat first."

Gwen silently took Peter's coat and put it on, "...Okay."

Peter breathed a sigh of relief, but when he turned around, he found that Gwen was crying silently. He suddenly panicked, half-knelt in front of her, and hurriedly tried to comfort Gwen, saying awkwardly: "Don't... don't cry. Yeah, that bastard has left, I...here..."

Gwen lay in Peter's arms, crying, "Idiot! Why didn't you come here earlier... I almost..."

There was a wet heat on his shoulder, which was the tears shed by his beloved girl. Peter could not say anything at this moment, because he was also full of fear. Of course, his feelings for Gwen would not be so fragile, but Peter was worried It is Gwen who will leave a psychological shadow and fall into a painful nightmare.

"It's okay...It's okay..." He hugged Gwen weakly, not even daring to touch her.

Lucas glanced at the two of them. The atmosphere there was really too much to interfere with, so he walked away quite sensibly.

Hope popped a head out of Lucas' pocket.

"Huh... I can finally come out... That's what Thompson looks like in reality. It's really too much."

"Well, I really didn't expect that he would go hard on Stacey in middle school." Lucas said solemnly.

His eyes were a little vacant, as if he had returned to the days of crime alley. The women living in crime alley were miserable. They were the lowest level of existence in the city. In order to survive, they would sell their bodies. If they could, who would? He is willing to serve those so-called benefactors with an empty expression of joy.

Lucas touched the old-fashioned glasses on his face. This pair of thick glasses not only sealed most of his appearance, but also blocked most of his troubles. You must know that some people with special habits are obsessed with good looks. The little boy is also welcome to come.

This pair of glasses can be regarded as the first gift and kindness he received... Although...

Lucas closed his eyes, unwilling to recall the painful memories.

"He is indeed a real scumbag, but I always feel that something is not right..." Hope was still talking.

"Lucas..." Peter walked up to Lucas and looked at Hope, "Hope is here too."

"Is Stacey okay?" Lucas asked.

"Gwen's mood is much more stable. She said she needs to calm down..." Peter lowered his head and clenched his fists. His expression was obscured by his hair and glasses.

"I... want to go to that world and fix that bastard Thompson!"

"...It's not to fix him, but to take away the twisted desires." Hope said, "Can I think you are ready to wake up? It's what I said last time that I might become a cripple."

"...I have no problem." Peter raised his head, this time his eyes were full of realization, "He almost ruined Gwen's life, and..."

He looked at Lucas and said, "Well, if I transfer to another school, there won't be a school that Lucas can go to."

It's not right to transfer schools twice in one semester. This will make some good schools have doubts about Lucas. In other words, this matter is also related to Lucas' future.

"It's no longer time to hesitate!" Peter said.

"What about you?" Hope looked at Lucas.

"I'm ready." Lucas nodded.

The reason why he made this bet with Thompson was because he was betting on it. It was obviously a very risky behavior, but Lucas felt a sense of excitement, dangerous and exciting.

"That's good." Hope said with satisfaction.

"... Speaking of which, is it very troublesome to destroy the palace?" Peter asked, "You have tried it before, right?"

Hope blinked her beady eyes, "When did I say such a thing?"

"...Huh?" Peter was confused.

The door opened, Gwen raised her red eyes and said, "If you want to deal with Thompson, add me."

"Gwen? No, this..."

"This incident started because of me, so..."

"No!" Peter suddenly became excited.

A trace of doubt flashed in Gwen's eyes. As a childhood sweetheart, she was keenly aware that Peter was hiding something from her.

She bit her lower lip and showed a hint of hurt at the right time. "I know." She turned and left.

"Is this good?" Lucas said.

Peter smiled bitterly: "How could it be possible to bring her to a place like that..."

"Indeed, it is dangerous inside the palace." Hope agreed.

"It's okay." Lucas patted Peter on the shoulder, "As long as we get rid of Thompson quickly."

"Ah." Peter forced a smile.

At the corner, Gwen leaned against the wall, a little confused on her face, and murmured: "That kind of place...?"

After school, the two came to the alley where they last entered Thompson Hall.

"When you enter there from now on, you will immediately be regarded as a monster thief. You must be careful." Hope reminded.

"Phantom Thief?"

"Sneakly break through the heavy defenses and get the secret treasure perfectly. Isn't this the Phantom Thief?" Hope snorted and laughed.

"So that's what it means. It sounds pretty good." Lucas nodded.

"It's a bit strange..." Peter muttered, "But it fits surprisingly well."

Today, Peter stopped playing tricks and his face was full of seriousness. He lowered his head to operate the phone and opened the software that suddenly appeared on the phone for the first time.

"Through language input, Thompson and...does the school still have a garden? This way we can go to a mysterious other world..."

Peter sighed, "It's a bit weird, but it should be useful."

"lets go!"

Gwen secretly watched the two people's movements from behind the wall, and when Lucas turned around keenly, she quickly retracted.

Easton is too keen!

Gwen couldn't help complaining in her heart, she lowered her eyes, but... what did they really want to do... what method could be used to stop Thompson? Since Peter doesn't want her to get involved, it means that this matter must be dangerous. That idiot, doesn't she understand him yet?

"What's wrong, Lucas?" Peter looked at Lucas who suddenly turned his head strangely.

Lucas turned around and said, "It's nothing, maybe it's my imagination."

He always felt as if someone was watching them, but...who would pay attention to this alley.

"Then I pressed it." Peter swallowed.

"Ah."

As the mechanical female voice sounded, the familiar sense of trance appeared again. What appeared in front of them was Thompson's palace, that weird and gorgeous garden.
