In a small room that was dimly lit and damp, three people who were dressed in different items of clothing sat at a small wooden table and drank their own drinks.

There was a bald man in a leather coat, a woman who had long red hair, and a guy who wore a hood.

"Look at this item. How much do you think it's worth?

" Baldy tore off a large piece of meat from the drumstick he had in his left hand and gulped down a large glass of rum with his right. He wiped the corner of his mouth and looked at the item with eyes that shined brightly.

It had been a long time since he had seen such a valuable item.

However, the red-haired woman that sat on his left side looked at the item with disdain. She played with a red gem in one hand and a cocktail in the other.

"You can sell this thing yourself. I'm not interested in it at all. I'm only interested in jewelry.

"

Baldy glared at her,

"You always do the work of selling stolen goods!

"

"You want me to do it? Sure! I want an increase of twenty percent more in the shares.

"

When Baldy heard this, his eyes widened. Although he was the leader of the Thieves Union that was in charge of the elf territory, he had no knowledge on knowing how to sell stolen goods.

The only reason he became the leader here was because he was loyal to the Thieves Union, and it was because he had a stubborn hoarding habit.

Naturally, it was reassuring to let him take care of the Union's treasures. This was because this guy seemed to enjoy hoarding more and more treasure in the treasury, not to take them out and consume them.

Although Baldy was a little dissatisfied, he still nodded in agreement after he thought for a while.

If it could not be exchanged for treasures, then the value of this item in Baldy's eyes would be greatly reduced. He was more willing to add treasure in the treasury as compared to adding a piece of wood.

Why did he compare to a piece of wood? This was because the Umbrella of Meredith currently looked like a wooden staff!

"Crow, what do you think?

"

It was not enough to just rely on his own consent for this matter. He still needed to get the nod from Crow, which was the guy in the hood. After all, this was something that Crow had obtained.

Crow still hid his face in the hood. He just nodded slightly and took a sip of the lemonade in his glass.

Everyone was used to Crow's reaction. This guy was always quiet. As for how he got this staff, no one cared!

The Thieves Union had its own rules.

Never ask about the other members in the Union. They were just collaborators. Each had their own duties, did their own things, and then worked together to earn money.

That was all.

After she saw that Crow and Baldy approved with a nod, Ruby then picked up the staff from the wooden table and said,

"Since you all have no objections, let's make a deal. Again, I want twenty percent more in the shares.

"After I'm done selling the stolen goods, I'll give the money to Baldy. When the time comes, you can ask him to take your share.

"

Crow was already familiar with this rule. He nodded silently once again.

The room fell into silence once again.

Then, Ruby pulled her attention back to the staff and muttered helplessly,

"I really don't know what's so good about this kind of wood. Magic doesn't have to be cast with a magic staff.

"

"Isn't it troublesome to carry a piece of wood every day?

"

"In my opinion, this piece of broken wood is not as useful as a small dagger.

"

Crow and Baldy did not refute Ruby's opinion.

Crow had always been quiet.

Baldy felt that Ruby's view was very correct.

For a thief, a dagger was always better than a magic staff. Unfortunately, this had to be a magic staff.

No matter how dissatisfied he was, the magic staff would not become—

A dagger?!

Baldy stopped chewing on the chicken drumstick, and Ruby stopped playing with the gem in her hand. Even Crow, who had always been calm, froze at this moment.

All of them froze as they witnessed an unbelievable scene unfold before them.

The staff had actually turned into a dagger in front of their eyes! And it was a very excellent dagger!

Baldy's eyes immediately lit up,

"Although I don't know what happened, this piece of wood seemed to have really turned into a dagger!

"

Ruby stared in shock while Baldy continued speaking,

"Moreover, it's not an ordinary weapon!

"

They had a moderate understanding of other weapons, but when it came to the understanding of daggers, they were experts!

At this moment, they could all see that this was a very, very excellent dagger!

This dagger was a double-edged dagger. The entire dagger was dark black, and it did not reflect light at all. The blades on both sides looked extremely sharp, and the shape was sleek. Any dagger enthusiast would not reject such a dagger.

There was a bold groove carved in the middle of the dagger.

Imagine what would happen if this dagger stabbed into a person's body. The victim's wound would be very difficult to heal, and blood would continuously gush out.

Baldy smacked his lips and said,

"If it's this dagger, it will definitely sell for a very good price!

"

Ruby narrowed her eyes and looked at Baldy,

"No matter how much it can be sold for, I will still get an extra twenty percent in shares! This is what we agreed on.

"

However, just as Ruby said that, a fair hand reached out and grabbed the dagger, there were mumbles that could not be heard. In this line of work, no one's reaction speed was slow.

It was almost at the same time that Ruby grabbed the dagger and tightened her grip on the dagger so that it was not taken away by anyone else.

"What did you say?

"

Ruby narrowed her eyes and looked at Crow with slight anger. The owner of that fair hand was the silent guy in the hood.

"I'm not selling it anymore.

"

Crow's voice could be heard from behind the hood.

Whether it was Ruby or Baldy, it was the first time they heard Crow speak. He sounded very clean, but there was a sickly sense of weakness.

However, it was not important. To Ruby, what was more important was the benefits.

"I'm sorry. Since the stolen goods are already in my hands, it's not up to you.

"Even if you don't sell it, you have to give me my share!

"

This was the case for an organization that was formed based on benefits. As long as there was a little schism, a conflict would immediately appear, therefore, conflicts would erupt at any moment.

Even though Ruby was only in charge of selling stolen goods, she was very confident in her own combat ability. Even if she had to face the famous thief Crow in the Elven territory that was ranked number one in, she did not think that she would definitely lose!

However, Crow was silent for a moment before she nodded and said,

"Give it to me, I'll pay.

"

This time, Ruby could not help but look at Baldy.

A mercenary thief was actually willing to pay this kind of money, which was no different from extortion. This surprised Ruby and Baldy.

Of course, this was a very good deal for Ruby.

"Deal.

"

"Deal?

"

At this moment, a sudden voice came from the entrance of the room.

"When did I allow you to use my things to make deals?

"
