Kieran once again surveyed the Disposal Area.At first, he had only intended to look for a few items that still had value. However, the longer he walked around, the more objects caught his attention. One by one, those objects disappeared into his Spatial Space.To other people, all of it might have been nothing more than junk.But to Kieran, as long as the base material was still usable, the Spatial Space could transform it into something far more valuable.Several dozen minutes passed, then an hour, and then even longer.Until finally, the System's voice appeared.[Host has filled 81% of Spatial Space capacity.]Kieran stopped walking

"Grandpa Rowan."The voice sounded just as Mr. Rowan was about to step through the gate. The old man's steps halted because the title "Grandpa" was usually used only by someone fairly close to him.Not far behind, a young man stepped forward half a pace. He was the person who had been the most active in mocking Marsellus and Kieran from the very beginning. His name was Victor Ashford, one of the heirs of the Ashford family.Although the Ashford family could not be compared to the giant families in the center of East Rail District, they were still considered a wealthy and influential family in the Eastern Outskirts. Normally, that identity was enough to make many people treat him politely.Victor smiled faintly. However, his tone was slightly faster than it should have been."I mean... why are you bringing that kid inside, Grandpa Rowan?"The atmosphere immediately changed.Several people standing nearby unconsciously held their breath. Even Victor's friends turned to look because the

Kieran walked down the underground corridor without hurrying.The air inside felt colder than outside. The smell of dampness mixed with old dust filled his senses. Industrial lamps installed far apart emitted a dim yellowish light, creating long shadows along the concrete walls.His footsteps were almost silent.[Ding.][Four targets detected in the area ahead.][Estimated distance: 37 meters.]Kieran's gaze moved slowly.The corridor ended in a large room resembling an underground warehouse. From where he stood, he could see several wooden crates stacked high and hear faint conversations from a distance."...when did the last shipment arrive?""It should arrive tonight, as long as there are no problems.""Then finish the inventory quickly. The boss said we have to successfully move all of this before the auction ends, otherwise it'll be easy to trace.""Yeah, yeah, you're so noisy. Better spend your energy working instead of talking so much."Kieran observed for a few seconds before

Alyssa immediately nodded.Although she still did not fully understand the situation, Kieran's tone of voice was enough to make her realize that this was not the right time to ask too many questions.The sound of footsteps became clearer in the distance. Several shadows moved among the old buildings and piles of scrap.Kieran took a quick glance from behind a wooden crate.Nine people, just as the System had warned. Not a small number, especially if they started spreading out to search.Moreover, if they discovered that the valuable items had been stolen, they would definitely deploy even more people to find the thief. Fortunately, those people were smugglers as well."Follow me."Kieran turned around and started moving, and Alyssa immediately followed him.They passed through a narrow alley between old buildings. Kieran's pace was neither too fast nor too slow. He continuously observed the surroundings while occasionally glancing at the transparent panel that only he could see.A few

After making sure no one was following him, Kieran returned to the villa through the back route.The disposal area was already far behind him, along with the underground warehouse that was now almost completely empty. The only trace left behind was a thin bloodstain on the sleeve of his shirt.As soon as he entered his room, the first thing he did was not rest, but check his Spatial Space.A transparent panel immediately appeared before him.[Used Capacity: 98%]His gaze lingered on the number for a few moments.The corner of his lips lifted slightly. Today's trip had been far more profitable than he had expected.At that moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated. Marsellus's name appeared on the screen, and he answered immediately."What's up?"Marsellus's voice sounded as relaxed as usual."Done having fun?""More or less.""Good. Get ready for lunch."Kieran frowned slightly."Isn't the auction still going on?""That's enough for today." Marsellus paused for a moment before adding i
