Funinna, please let me steal your heart!

"My name is Luna. Let's escape together! With the moonlight guiding us, we'll definitely be alright!"

At that time, Luna was just as young as her, with chubby hands that were incredibly warm and soft.

But at that time, it could bring people a great sense of security.

"........"

Lynette looked at her hands; they were already larger than they had been as a child.

But the hand that should have been held by her slipped away.

Lynette sighed softly. She shouldn't be thinking about Luna, who had betrayed them, but she couldn't help but think of her when she was alone.

Let's not think about it anymore.

After rubbing her face, Lynette climbed back into bed.

The next day.

"The Phantom Thief White Cat has released a teaser," Linni said with a serious expression.

"When?"

"It seems like it was not long ago. She's supposed to act at 8 p.m. tonight. I'm afraid the special patrol team has already started protecting Alkeane."

The Phantom Thief White Cat is a character who appears suddenly.

Possessing incredible abilities and formidable strength, they have never been at a disadvantage against any force to this day...

Come to think of it, "Father" didn't ask us to investigate her?

Is it that he doesn't care, or does "father" already know something?

Lynette picked up her teacup and pondered in silence.

"Linette, did you hear the plan clearly?"

"I know, don't underestimate cats."

Linni smiled wryly, "I didn't underestimate you, but we have to be extra careful this time. That phantom thief's behavior is really unpredictable. We don't know what she'll do."

Who exactly is the phantom thief, White Cat?

All three of them fell into deep thought.

at the same time.

Special Patrol Team Headquarters.

"Attention! At ease!"

Holding the gun, Xia Worei said, "Just now, the phantom thief White Cat released a notice. According to the 'mandatory protection' measures issued by the Enforcement Court within a limited time, we are going to protect the victim, Alkien."

Mandatory protection – this is a measure established by the high command of the Enforcement Court to address the increasingly rampant activities of phantom thieves.

Anyone who receives a warning letter from the phantom thief will be subject to mandatory protection by the special patrol team and the security team.

To prevent some fool from challenging the phantom thief and ending up losing all his money.

Of course, Xia Worei has no idea how effective this measure will be, and it's not impossible for her to find loopholes.

But if the law enforcement court doesn't issue targeted measures soon, then public criticism will follow.

"Alkien? Isn't that the nobleman who was suspected in the previous investigation but there was no evidence?" Tirena asked curiously.

"Correct."

"Are we going to protect a suspect?"

"Correct."

“This…” Tirena’s expression was complicated.

Xia Worei said calmly, "It's 'potentially suspected,' but without evidence, a trial is impossible."

She paused for a moment: "But on the other hand, as long as there is evidence of a violation of the law, no one can escape trial."

"What does that mean?"

Xia Worei smiled slightly: "What I mean is, if we 'accidentally' discover something, there's nothing we can do about it."

"There's really nothing we can do about that!"

"That's settled then, special patrol team, move out!"

...................

Inside Alkion's mansion.

"Is it really necessary for everyone to make such a fuss?" Alkien pushed up his glasses, looking somewhat puzzled.

As soon as the door opened, several squads of special patrol and security personnel were standing at the entrance, which was quite intimidating.

Xia Worei quickly surveyed her surroundings, and said in an unquestionable manner, "This is an extraordinary situation, please understand."

"For details, please refer to the recent announcements from the Executive Court, which list every provision and regulation regarding 'enforcement protection' measures."

She waved, and members of the special patrol and security teams filed in.

"terribly sorry."

"excuse me."

"wish you a happy life."

What else could Al-Kien say? He couldn't very well resort to insults.

He could only nod and give an ambiguous smile.

Click! The sound of the phonograph suddenly rang out.

What the hell is that noise?!

He looked down and his gaze met that of the clockwork mechanism... which looked like a dog... no, it should be said that it was the camera lens.

After all, its head is a special kind of phonograph.

Xia Worei said casually, "We need it to detect the phantom thief, please forgive us."

Although the special patrol team doesn't use clockwork mechanisms much, they occasionally need these kinds of lightweight reconnaissance vehicles to help them.

"Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing..."

He looked to his left and saw a security team observing the windows and ventilation openings.

Then, look again, the special patrol team is patrolling again, guns in hand.

If he were an ordinary person with nothing to hide, he would naturally feel extremely at ease.

With such a large security force, who can defeat them? Who can fight them?

Even if the phantom thief White Cat came, he would still have a few tufts of cat hair pulled out!

But he is not.

"I have to move my notes right away..." Alkien muttered to himself as he hurried toward his study.

"Please slow down."

Alkien concealed his panic and unease, and asked casually, "Is there anything else, Officer Chavoret?"

"Could I see the phantom thief's advance notice?"

"Hmm? Oh, of course, that's no problem."

He took out the notice, handed it to Xia Wore, and then hurried to the study.

Xia Wore gestured to the rest of the special patrol team, who nodded and began keeping an eye on Al-Kien.

As always, the announcement exuded an air of arrogance.

"Having heard that the Pearl Keyboard is an exquisite masterpiece, I am deeply fond of it and have decided to claim this treasure for myself at 8 PM tonight—Phantom Thief White Cat."

nothing special.

Just as Xia Wore was about to put away the notice, her fingertips touched the edge of the card, which was slightly folded up.

If it weren't for the unusual feel, it would be easily overlooked.

"Ok?"

If you tear it open gently, you can see a small string of text left on the edge.

"Did this help you, my lovely captain?"

Xia Worei: ".............."

She silently put the card away and took a deep breath.

Is it fun to tease her like this all the time?

Time passed second by second, and finally, night fell.

It's eight o'clock.

"...Where is the phantom thief?" Tirena looked around nervously. She and Xia Wore were stationed outside the mansion, while most of the members were lying in ambush inside.

"Maybe it's still on its way." Xia Worei ate the biscuit and licked her lips.

This is her dinner tonight.

Of course, that's not enough calories, so she'll have to go get a late-night snack afterwards.

"The captain is always so calm," Tirena said admiringly.

"No matter what kind of wavering there is, it will affect the accuracy of the shot... Besides, you don't need to worry so much."

Is it because phantom thieves always end up throwing away their treasures randomly?

Xia Worei was speechless for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "What I mean is, no matter what, this phantom thief's only target is the treasure."

However, if you try to stop her, you'll definitely get knocked unconscious.

"Ah, that's true!" Tirena relaxed a bit.

She's not afraid of trouble, she's only afraid of pain.
