“You mean both of us? I’m coming too?”

“No shit, aren’t you my bodyguard? You expect me to face danger all by myself?”

Only then did Elly Ford realize.

It turned out that Vincent Wolf really only wanted her to be a bodyguard, not find an excuse to be alone with her.

“Wuu wuu wuu- I was wrong in the end!” Elly thought sadly.

Vincent Wolf didn’t care about Ellv’s reaction. He took out a maD of Kvoto Citv, circled the largest Resource Museum in Kyoto City, the treasury of the City Lord’s Mansion, and the treasury of Duke Liu’s Manor, and pointed them out to Elly.

‘Master Ford, look, these are the three locations for our trip. After you teleport us in, we’ll need to avoid the monitoring and patrolling guard beasts, as well as those hidden mechanical beasts.”

“I’ve ranked these three places from easy to difficult in terms of infiltration difficulty. They are the Resource Museum, the City Lord’s Mansion’s treasury, and Duke Liu’s Manor’s treasury.”

The difficulty rating was given in the Intelligence Hall, and it was relatively reliable.

“So, first, we’ll infiltrate the Resource Museum and see if it’s there.”

After finalizing the simple battle plan, Elly’s Boundary Cat floated in front of Vincent Wolf and stared at the circles on the map for a long time.

“Boundary Cat, you need to be careful when teleporting us. Don’t send us right into a crowd, or that’s like delivering ourselves to the enemy. Oh, and no areas with surveillance either!”

Vincent Wolf muttered to himself, not sure if the Boundary Cat understood him. He saw the cat’s paw slide slightly in the air, and the spatial fluctuations appeared in the room before dissipating into nothing.

Afternoon.

The largest Resource Museum in Kyoto City opened.

This museum holds many precious beast resources.

In addition to ordinary Water elements, Earth elements, and Fire elements, there are also rarer Fairy elements, Undead elements, Light elements, and Dark elements.

Its collection is so comprehensive that it ranks among the top resource museums in the country.

Old Liu is an ordinary security guard in the museum.

Although he is called ordinary, he is actually an Advanced Beastmaster, respected in society and holds a high position.

However, in this museum, he is just a regular security guard, with both strength and status at the bottom.

Old Liu’s main job is to patrol the museum daily, but he doesn’t take it seriously because he believes the museum’s security measures are flawless.

The security measures that Old Liu knows about are already astonishingly impressive, not to mention the ones he doesn’t know about.

So every day, Old Liu appears to be diligently guarding and patrolling, but in fact, his mind has long since wandered off.

On this day, like usual, he was patrolling the high-grade exhibition area when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

“How strange, was there someone in the high-grade exhibition area when I was patrolling just now?”

Old Liu touched his bald head and subconsciously followed his usual route out of the high-grade exhibition area.

“Damn!”

“How could there be someone in the high-grade exhibition area at this early hour?”

Old Liu was shocked and hurried back to the high-grade exhibition area, only to find it empty. Aside from the resources in the exhibit area, there was nothing else.

“Huh? Where are the people? There were two of them just now! How come they’re gone all of a sudden!?”

Old Liu looked at the empty hall, his heart thumping.

“Could it be…l saw a ghost?”

Old Liu shuddered, and the more he stayed in this quiet exhibition hall, the more uncomfortable he felt all over, which made him more convinced of the idea of seeing a ghost.

“It must have been a ghost; it couldn’t have been a thief, right?”

“I told you to teleport us to a place with no one around, how did you send us right in front of someone!”

Vincent Wolf looked at the Boundary Cat speechlessly, and the cat meowed innocently a few times.

Elly Ford acted as a translator on the side:

“You said not to teleport into a crowd of people; there was only one person, so it doesn’t count as a crowd.”

“You little cat!”

Vincent Wolf laughed in exasperation and stopped arguing with the little cat.

It would be too idle for him to get angry with a little cat.However, since it’s already been discovered, the current situation can only be handled accordingly.

If the museum really starts an internal search, he would have to hide and wait for half an hour to pass.

But he couldn’t just wait idly; Vincent Wolf wandered around the museum during the wait, opening his eyes to many new things.

Soon, half an hour passed, and for some reason, it was no different than usual, with no one searching at all.

At first, Vincent Wolf thought it was because the museum staff was conducting a secret investigation so as not to arouse suspicion.

However, he eventually realized that he was overthinking it; there was indeed no abnormal situation.

“Aren’t the people in this museum too careless?”

Speechless, Vincent Wolf saw that time had passed without any progress. So, he communicated with the Boundary Cat and proceeded to the next location — the treasury in the City Lord’s Mansion.

This time, the Boundary Cat didn’t transport Vincent Wolf and his companion to a place with people.

However, this time Vincent Wolf would rather have chosen the previous type of transmission by the Boundary Cat.

..Kitty, can’t you find a better place to teleport to? Where did you teleport us to? A cold storage room?”

Vincent Wolf sneezed several times, his nose almost running.

Elly Ford, standing beside him, also shivered from the cold. However, as a Master Ford, her physical condition was much better than Vincent Wolf, so she didn’t sneeze:

“This is indeed a cold storage room, storing resources that are hard to preserve and have energy that easily dissipates.”

The Boundary Cat meowed a few times. Elly Ford began to translate its words:

“The Boundary Cat says there is no other place without people or surveillance besides this cold storage.”

Vincent Wolf found it odd:

“How come your beast doesn’t wear a Beast Language Translator? Others need translation to understand.’

“Not every beast is willing to wear that thing. The Boundary Cat has some social anxiety and doesn’t want to talk to others, so it’s unnecessary.”

Vincent Wolf nodded in understanding, then began to quietly wait for half an hour to pass.

Although the cold storage was a bit cold, it was indeed a good place to hide.

After all, Vincent Wolf searched for items not with human eyes but through the [Simulation] Beast-controlling Talent.

So all Vincent Wolf needed to do was hide well for half an hour, without running around everywhere. “It’s just a little too cold.”

Using Amplification, Vincent Wolf shrank himself, letting his clothes cover his entire body and successfully reducing the cold, leaving Elly Ford, who wanted to cuddle with him for warmth, empty-handed.

“Mimi, your method didn’t work!”

Elly Ford complained to the Boundary Cat through their Beast Control Contract.

“It’s because you’re too clumsy to seize the opportunity when it’s given to you!” The Boundary Cat glared at Elly Ford, licked its paws, and mercilessly taunted her.

“Then what should I do? I didn’t seize the opportunity twice. Can you help me again next time?”

“No more help, or I’ll be exposed. And I don’t want Vincent Wolf to keep thinking I’m a dumb cat.”

The Boundary Cat directly declined Elly Ford, leaving her feeling aggrieved.

“Who knew that the security guard would have no reaction after seeing us? I was hoping to experience a crisis with Vincent Wolf and create a suspension bridge effect!”

“If there’s no chance, let it go. I’ve sensed that the next place is not that safe. I feel many traps are inside. Don’t expose us all to danger when the time comes.”

Hearing that there was danger, Elly Ford gathered her thoughts:

“Don’t worry, I know the limits.”

As Elly Ford and the Boundary Cat secretly chatted, half an hour quickly passed.

Unaware that he was actually being sabotaged, Vincent Wolf stretched his body and felt quite depressed.

“I’ve already searched through two places, why haven’t I found anything yet?” “If there’s nothing in the last place, won’t this whole trip be in vain?”

“If it’s really a waste of time, it’s gonna be terrible. We might really be too late, and everything will be over.”

However, there was still hope. Vincent Wolf cheered up, communicated with the Boundary Cat, and began the teleportation to the next location.

“Kitty, you must not mess up this time. Duke Liu is not someone to be trifled with. If he catches us, I might be done for..”
