Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 389 The Fire Thief

But no one paid any attention to Yiyin at all, which gave him a headache.

It's terrible that we could have a friendly discussion together, but ended up sticking to our own opinions and finding it difficult to convince others.

Fortunately, Yiyin still has a good brother, Bubulu. Although he cannot always understand common sense, he is still full of enthusiasm.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing no one responding, Bubulu took over the conversation, "Could it be that Fanny was coerced? I knew Fanny must not be a bad person, wuwuwu..."

"Ah, I'm not entirely sure. I just have some guesses. Speaking of which, don't you think Schwartz's identity is more confusing than Fanny's sudden appearance for no reason?"

"Schwartz? The arena owner? I think he's just doing it for Luke." Bubulu said.

"Descendants of the Xinhuo clan..."

Selina muttered a few words and seemed to have a sudden epiphany.

"I see! The Xinhuo Clan is an ancient family from Blue Star. They possessed a unique technique that allowed them to tame monsters and enslave them! However, as human civilization on Blue Star developed, this behavior was once considered immoral and was repeatedly banned. From then on, the Xinhuo Clan declined and gradually disappeared into the long river of history."

"Is such that."

Teach filled in what Selina had omitted. "I once heard from my eldest brother that the Xinhuo Clan call themselves 'Fire Thieves,' and they seem to enjoy the feeling of being above everyone else. So... after 'that incident,' are the Fire Thieves starting to stir?"

After listening to everyone explain so many families, Bubulu felt like his brain was about to explode.

"Help! Why are there so many messed up families suddenly appearing?"

Facing Bubulu's complaints, Jiaozi responded with a smile:

"Perhaps they all want to seize the initiative. 'That incident' made them realize that the Monster Master Management Association isn't so reliable. So, perhaps it's best to take advantage of this opportunity to develop their own power?"

"Stop, stop, stop."

John stopped them in time, "What are we talking about? Didn't I ask you to help stop Fanny?"

"I suddenly changed my mind."

Jiaozi pretended to be lazy and responded, "We came to the Ghost Market to buy monster fruits. Now that the monster fruits are gone, there is no need for us to stay in the Ghost Market."

Yes, what's the point of them discussing the Fate Weaver and the Fire Thief with John for a long time?

Knowing that the mission has completely failed, staying here would just be meddling.

Jiaozi's words instantly clarified the pros and cons for the tail-end team. They were no longer the foolish prep students who had been sold out and helped others count money. Their time was very valuable and they couldn't waste it on this.

"you……"

John felt a pang of disgust. He had thought that these monster masters would help him keep Fanny, but he didn't expect that they didn't care about it at all.

Alas, it seems that I am still too young.

The tail-end team discussed quietly for a while, and when they felt that they had collected enough intelligence, they stood up and said goodbye.

Only Bubulu seemed about to say something, but seeing his companions were silent, he didn't feel comfortable saying anything. So many adventures had taught him that recklessness was a flaw in his character, and he should do his best to overcome it.

.

When the tail-end team left, Fanny was still sleeping soundly, while John was slapping himself and regretting what he had done.

After making sure that no one was following them, the tail-end team found a secluded place and began the next discussion.

"Big sister, why do we have to avoid John?"

Bubulu couldn't understand why everyone had several faces.

"John is a simple man, so we can't reveal too much to him. Also, it's quite suspicious that Fanny fell asleep from the beginning. She might be secretly eavesdropping on us."

Tiqi answered for Selina.

"But there are no monster fruits in the ghost market, right? We..."

"This is just John's one-sided statement. Maybe he's just trying to evade us."

Jiaozi explained, "Now that we're here, we must investigate more thoroughly. Also... let's try to find some clues about Instructor Bai Lu."

If even the Dark Stalkers are involved, then it seems the Ghost Market is truly full of hidden talents. Of course, Jiaozi only thought about this in his mind and didn't say it out loud.

Dumplings said something else:

"Luckily, my conversation with John gave me a lot of inspiration. I've already remembered who the hostess of the arena was. Fang Yixing and I met her before in the hot spring village. Back then, she was running a coffin shop. Her name was... what was it?"

"Akutata."

Teach responded that the Layton family's memory for accurate information was exceptional, practically reaching the point of photographic memory. Of course, this was also thanks to Yuguka's vigorous "education."

However, the tail-end team would probably never have imagined that the meeting in the hot spring village would actually become their farewell to Fang Yixing.

You never know, some people, after saying "goodbye", you will never see them again.

"Great, you understand me, Tiki! Ahem—Akutata and I are quite close (?). If I follow the clues, I might be able to talk to Schwartz soon."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Bubulu is a man of action. Once he thinks of something, he will put it into action immediately.

"hold on."

Jiaozi said, "Our previous behavior was too conspicuous. Let's wait until dark before taking action. Maybe we can catch up with Instructor Bai Lu."

Thus, the tail-end team's plan temporarily shifted from bribing the monster fruit to investigating Schwartz. If Schwartz really wanted to revive the ambition of the "Fire Thief", they would definitely stop him.

"Bubu Lu, I have something to do and I'm leaving first."

Yiyin didn't say much along the way, as if he was thinking about something.

Finally, Yiyin decided to act alone.

"Well, but..."

Bubulu finally got together with Yiyin again, and the tail-end team hadn't gotten together for an adventure like this for a long time.

"It's okay. I believe in you, and you have to believe in yourself too."

After saying that, Yiyin patted Bubulu on the shoulder and left without looking back.

.

Shortly after.

Schwartz was studying today's harvest. In fact, he didn't care about Luke at all. His ancestors won a lot of infamy and also accumulated a lot of wealth for their descendants.

As long as there are no unfilial descendants, then there is no guarantee that they will have a good life, but at least they can allow their descendants to not do anything they don't want to do.

Unfortunately, Schwartz was a restless man.

He was humming a little tune and preparing to further expand the scope of his plan when he suddenly heard other people talking.

In an instant, Schwartz felt a sense of fear. Damn it, he must be dreaming that the thief had broken into the house without him noticing!

Fortunately, this person didn't want Luke or anything else, he just said hello lightly:

"Hello, Fire Thief."
