Different World Online

Real burglary is not that simple, especially when the target is a nobleman.

The first thing to do is to collect intelligence and confirm the target;

Don’t underestimate this step, it is the key to ensuring a good harvest!

Most nobles are not as wealthy as they appear;

Although they travel in carriages, have a large number of servants at home, and spend a large sum of money every year to renovate their mansions, this does not mean that they are rich.

An aristocrat who is not good at business and only knows how to squander can quickly wipe out the wealth accumulated by three generations of ancestors;

Once these landed nobles began to sell off their ancestral property, especially the land, it was the beginning of their downfall;

This kind of decline is often irreversible;

When other nobles notice your decline, they will shoot arrows at your back in endlessly;

At first, they will discuss your embarrassment in whispers at various gatherings if you cannot prove yourself;

They will go even further, first defaming your reputation, then mocking your family, and then further using all kinds of trumped-up charges to reduce your title;

Finally, replace them with one of their own, or sell your title for a high price.

You know, those wealthy businessmen are very willing to exchange mountains of gold for a noble title.

Just like a whale falling, every time a family with a long history falls, there will always be a large number of greedy guys who eat its fill.

This is also why Steve wanted to sneak into the auction.

One auction could reveal which nobles were truly wealthy and which were merely pretending to be respectable, which was enough to save him a lot of time in gathering information.

Only by identifying a truly wealthy target, will his subsequent series of operations such as scouting the area, planning his escape route, determining ways to sell the stolen goods, etc., not be a waste of time.

Following the elegantly dressed young man, Steve came to a classical wooden door with exquisite patterns.

Standing in front of the door, the young man's hand holding the cane was trembling slightly, and there was a hesitant expression on his face.

It can be seen that his father often teaches him a lesson.

After hesitating for a while, the young man gave himself a big pat:

"Come on! The old guy went out for a party today and came back very late, which is enough time for you to have fun inside!

It's okay! It's okay! Find those cute girls, you can do it. "

On the side, Steve glanced at the frail guy with pity in his eyes.

Don’t be so stubborn, kid. You may not be able to do it!

Look at your legs, they are not even as thick as my arms. How do you do this?

You should open the door quickly and let Uncle Steve teach you what "I can do it" means.

After cheering himself up for a while, the young man knocked left and right like a thief before he mustered up the courage to grab the door handle of the classical wooden door.

The door opened silently.

The man rushed in at a speed that her body could not bear, and then immediately closed the door quietly.

After holding the handrail and taking a few breaths, the man began to explore with an expert look.

Beside him, Steve looked at the slightly dim study and raised his eyebrows with interest.

There is someone, and more than one!

My heartbeat suddenly quickened when the door opened, but it has slowed down now.

Thinking of this, Steve looked at the young man who was lying on the ground and groping beside him with interest. It seemed that this boy had a high status!

Could this guy be the son of Grand Duke Rundel, as he could make the guards in the master's study turn a blind eye?

Silently memorizing the boy's appearance in his mind, the virtual Steve overlapped with the man's body and walked towards the study room step by step;

This is a study room similar to a leader's office. A large desk is placed inside the study room, and behind it is a tall bookshelf filled with books.

One of the two guards was hiding under the desk, and the other was behind the door next to Steve.

If these were all, they would not be enough to make him carefully overlap with the young man. What frightened him the most was the fur carpet on the ground.

If you blur the soles of his feet, he will fall to the ground, so the soles of his feet cannot be blurred;

Since the soles of his feet are not flexible, it is easy for him to leave footprints on the thick fur carpet.

Beside him, the young man was still muttering.

"It shouldn't be like this. I often come to the old man's study. There shouldn't be no trace at all!"

Hearing this, Steve looked at the bust of Archduke Rundall on the display table nearby and sighed silently.

The statue showed signs of having been turned, and there were tiny circular scratches on the table.

If this weakling is really the son of Grand Duke Rundel, then I can only say that no one knows a son better than his father.

This statue is quite heavy. Even if you find something unusual, you can't turn it...

Thinking of this, Steve decided to continue waiting patiently.

After a while, the young man groped his way to the display table;

Seeing this, Steve no longer hesitated, partially un-silented his body, and gently tripped the man;

The young man screamed, leaned forward, and, waving his hands as he lost balance, he bumped headfirst into the right shoulder of the bust of Archduke Rendel;

At the same time, the palm of Steve's right hand was no longer blurred and instantly pushed against the right shoulder of the bust.

The next second, the stone statue turned, making a slight creaking sound.

Then, the bookshelf on the innermost side of the study split in the middle and moved slowly to both sides, and a square corridor extending downward appeared in front of the young man and Steve.

Covering the big bump on his head, the young man, whose lower body was dominated, had no time to cry out in pain and rushed towards the passage excitedly.

However, just as he made a move, the lights in the study suddenly came on, and two extremely vigilant men rushed out from their hiding place;

One stood in front of the young man, and the other carefully observed the statue of Grand Duke Rundel with a very solemn expression.

They are not fools, nor are they novices who have never taken risks;

Considering the weight of this statue, if the young master wanted to ram it headfirst into it, his brain would burst.

Unless, the young master is not the real young master, or the young master is controlled.

Without thinking, the guard who was staring at the statue restored the statue immediately, and then blocked the door of the study with a vigilant look on his face.

The current situation is beyond their authority to handle, and they can only wait for the master to return.

On the other side, in a corridor with candlesticks hanging on the wall, Steve, who had just activated the [Void Jump], walked out of the void with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth that no one could see.
