Chapter 46
"Simple," Gazel said, happiness swelling in his chest. "Because I believe today is my lucky day."
He grinned.
The bandits were stunned.
What kind of person smiled at the thought of being robbed and possibly killed. Was this kid insane. Were they dealing with some kind of lunatic.
Gazel, on the other hand, looked genuinely pleased.
He tilted his head and asked the question that mattered most to him.
"Hey," he said casually. "You guys have a base, right?"
The bandits exchanged glances, then one of them laughed.
"You bet," one said with a confident smirk. "A base packed with our brothers. Just as wicked and dangerous as us. So if you think someone is coming to save you, forget it. No one can."
He leaned forward.
"Now drop your belongings. If you know what is good for you, we might let you go."
Gazel listened patiently, then asked another question, smiling like he was chatting with friends.
"You must have a lot of loot there, right?"
That was enough.
