"Chase after him!

" Mike noticed the sneaky elf that ran and immediately shouted.

Timus, who was slightly stunned, recovered quickly and rushed out of the tavern. Mike, just a step away from Timus, followed suit.

This left the people in the tavern dumbfounded.

Outside the tavern, there were very few pedestrians on the street, which made it much more convenient for Mike and Timus to catch up with the elf.

Mike, who ran behind, quickly caught up with Timus in front of him with the help of his skill, swift steps.

However, what surprised Mike was that he did not manage to shorten the distance between him and the short elf in front of him at all.

"Does he know how to use swift steps as well?

" Mike was a little confused, but he did not waste too much time. If he wanted to shorten the distance, the method was very simple.

Clang!

Mike directly pulled out the Sword of the King from his waist.

In the next moment, Mike and Timus' speed immediately doubled!

At the same time, with the support of swift steps, Mike's speed directly increased by four times!

With such speed, Mike only took a few breaths to catch up with the short elf.

The next moment, Mike reached out his right hand and grabbed the elf's collar. After he lifted the elf up, he slammed him onto the ground.

"Pfft, cough cough!

"

After the elf was hit, he coughed up large mouthfuls of blood.

Mike controlled his strength very well and did not let the elf die on the spot. However, he reckoned that a few of his ribs had already been broken.

At this time, Timus had already caught up, he panted heavily, and kicked the Elf in the chest.

"You dare to f*cking run?! Quickly hand over my things, you b*stard!

"

This young version of Timus did not have any grace at all. He punched and kicked the elf, he cursed and swore at the same time.

"Enough, don't kill him.

" Mike raised his hand and slightly stopped Timus. Only then did Timus stop.

However, Timus's eyes still burned with anger. Obviously, if Mike had not stopped him, Timus would have really wanted to beat this guy to death.

"Where is it?

" Mike did not waste his breath. He grabbed the elf's clothes and pulled him up.

The elf's chin and collar had long been dyed red with blood.

He looked at the human in front of him with a terrified look and quickly shook his head to deny it,

"What is it? I don't know.

"

"You still dare to deny it?!

" Timus widened his eyes and raised his hand to slap the elf.

This slap broke three of the elf's teeth. In an instant, a lot of blood flowed out of the elf's mouth.

The elf's eyes revealed intense fear.

He could feel a strong killing intent from this young human. He had no doubt that if this young human did not get the answer he wanted, he would definitely kill him without hesitation.

However, if he told him, it would be difficult for him to keep his life.

At this moment, the elf saw a figure from the corner of his eye.

This figure was usually something that he could not avoid, but now it had become his only life-saving straw.

"Sir Guard, help! These two humans want to kill me!

" The short elf quickly shouted at the figure.

However, this shout was met with intense pain.

"You still dare to shout?!

" Timus stepped on the short elf's palm, a cracked sound immediately came from the hand. Needless to say, the bones of his hand must have been shattered.

The short elf's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, but he clenched his teeth tightly nonetheless and stared at the figure in the guard's uniform not too far away.

"What happened?!

"

The guard who heard the shouting immediately rushed over.

Mike pushed the little elf to the ground, and both he and Timus turned to glare at him as they tried to persuade the guard to mind his own business.

However, when they turned back and saw the guard's figure, both of them were stunned.

Not only were they stunned, but the guard himself was also stunned.

"It's you?!

"

"It's you?!

"

Mike, Timus, and the guard all spoke the same sentence in unison, shocked.

This guard was Jess, the rookie guard who had brought Mike and Timus to the Public Security Office!

Jess frowned and looked at the scene in front of him. He glared at Mike and said,

"I don't know how you were released, but you are going too far.

"Are you challenging the laws of the elves?!

"

"Laws?

" Timus sneered and pointed at the short elf that lay on the ground.

"This kid stole from me. Who's going to help me get it back? Your 'so-called' laws?!

"

"If he really stole from you, the laws of the elves will give you a proper and defined answer, but you're not allowed to hit him!

" Jess said righteously.

Mike knew that this kid was a stubborn elf, so he did not argue too much. Instead, he pointed at the short elf and said,

"Ask him yourself.

"

During the time they spoke, the short elf was breathing heavily, trying to catch his breath. When he saw Jess, it was as if he had seen his savior. He quickly used all his strength to say,

"Sir Guard, please save me. They are going to kill me!

"

"Look, I didn't steal anything. If you don't believe me, just tell them to search me!

"

The guard Jess glanced at the short elf and frowned at Mike,

"What did you lose?

"

"A weapon!

" Timus quickly said.

"What kind of weapon?

" Jess asked further.

"...

"

Timus opened his mouth, but he could not speak. Mike also frowned and urged,

"He asked you a question. What kind of weapon?

"

When he heard his teacher urge him, Timus stammered,

"I... I'm not sure.

"

"... Are you guys toying with me?

"

At this time, the guard Jess's expression had already become very disgruntled. He suspected that these two guys were toying with him.

However, Timus was unable to say anything.

This was because he had forgotten what the Umbrella of Meredith had looked like before it was stolen.

It could have been in the form of a staff, an umbrella, or perhaps a greatsword.

Mike could see Timus's gears spinning from the look of his face. He looked at Jess helplessly and said,

"In short, it's a weapon!

"

Jess looked at Mike. He could tell that Mike's tone was very serious. It was definitely not a joke.

Confused, he looked at the short elf that lay on the ground with a puzzled expression,

"Are you sure he stole it? I don't see any weapons on him.

"Are you saying that the weapon's a dagger or a magic wand?

"If you have no evidence to prove that he stole your things, then I can only ask you to let him go!

"

This time, a vein popped out on Mike's forehead.

"Jess, I know that you are an honest guard, but I want to tell you the truth!

"Some things are difficult to be clearly explained!

"The law can never be perfect, it has many loopholes.

"And when the law is not able to bring me justice, then I can only seek justice for myself!

"
