A young man with a glowing blue name above their head.
If [Otomen Lover], an ordinary person who entered a ruin for the first time had a green name, then this one with a blue name was either a challenger from the preliminary round or a veteran challenger of League 3.
The young man was tall and looked quite ordinary, but from his attire, he seemed to be another college student.
The alien and the woman silently tensed up, their eyes staring at the young man warily.
"And who are you?"
Leinster retorted on the spot, his temper was about to flare up.
The [Wrath Store] side effect made the alien into a walking bomb, ready to explode anytime!
The young man patted his chest as he caught his breath before he sauntered arrogantly towards Leinster's place, his face was full of confidence.
"It's true! I'm the friend of that hand's owner, Kyuk Hoe! My friend died because of this criminal!"
Leinster subconsciously choked.
Hoe? What kind of name is that??
Oh wait, focus.
Did someone see him snatching the hand during the chaos back then?
Unlucky.
Still, finders keepers!
Leinster turned his head away from the young man and saw the shopkeeper actually looking a bit shaken.
"Not...yours...? Is it...that gentleman's... goods?"
Fck? You believed that lie so easily??
Are you really a ghost??
"Hey, hey, hey, ignore that barking dog!"
Leinster slapped the severed hand onto the glass display and started to bargain, ignoring the blue-named man's flushed face.
"Is this hand enough to pay for that watch or not? If not, just bring me any watch that fits this hand's value."
In the background, the blue-named man was screaming with hatred.
"What did you say?? Who are you calling a barking dog??"
Kyuk Hoe fumed, stomping his feet childishly, looking as if he was deeply offended.
However, when Leinster and Otomen Lover weren't looking at him, he secretly glanced at another figure inside the dark store and nodded in gesture.
A chubby, short figure, enveloped in an extremely dim yellow light quickly stretched out his two-meter-long hands towards a watch that wasn't locked behind a glass display.
Then, the person made an ok gesture at Kyuk Hoe and both people slowly walked towards the store's entrance, attempting to leave.
Just then, Kyuk Hoe passed behind Leinster's back and he suddenly whispered to the other guy with the same blue name.
"Wong Dae, this still feels too risky. How about we do this..."
"Okay, Kyuk-nim. Leave it to me."
The chubby man named Wong Dae nodded and stretched its long hands, slowly approaching Leinster's back.
Without Leinster noticing, the person put the watch he had just stolen directly on the red tongue's small depression that resembled a pocket.
Once they put it there, the two people stealthily took another watch, one for each and kept it in their pockets.
Once they secured the watches, the two people looked at each other with malicious grins on their faces.
They slowly turned their heads to look at Leinster in the dark.
Just then, before Leinster was about to use the severed hand to buy the watch that he had an eye on, Kyuk Hoe suddenly shouted with a voice full of justice.
"Wait, shopkeeper! I saw a thief! Someone stole a watch!"
The young man's voice not only attracted the shopkeeper, Leinster and Otomen Lover's attention.
Even some shadowy figures deep inside the stores silently looked up, their pure white eyes gleaming red with twisted black veins.
"Thief...?"
The shopkeeper turned his head around with a creak and without any noise, a few figures wearing the same uniform as him suddenly appeared, crowding around the two young men, Leinster and Otomen Lover.
In that instant, the flames in the four people's oil lamps flickered fast, as if it was about to perish in the next moment!
Leinster and Otomen Lover hurriedly covered their oil lamps with their palms as they shot venomous glares at the two troublemakers.
"What are you guys saying? Thief? Where's the thief? I saw no one!"
Leinster rebuked Kyuk Hoe, but Kyuk Hoe immediately opened his mouth, a smug smile plastered on his face.
"The thief is you! I saw it! Shopkeeper, just search his body and you will find the stolen watch!"
Kyuk Hoe's words triggered something as the shopkeeper stiffly turned his head towards Leinster and stared at him with malicious eyes.
"Dear...customer...we...may...have...to search...your...body...."
Seeing this, the audience, who clearly saw what Kyuk Hoe was doing, immediately exploded.
[Detective Conman:
As much as I hate Leinster, I hate this kind of challenger more. He's harming a fellow challenger!]
[Ahhhh! That bastard criminal was usually clever, so why is he so dumb now? Do something!]
Even Leinster Slayer, who always wished the worst for Leinster, didn't gloat over Leinster's misfortune.
[Leinster Slayer:
Tsk. Humanity's cancer. Ho— *beep*! ]
Leinster himself felt that the shopkeeper was acting strange.
Judging from its aura, it was definitely a strong "ghost", so it should have a bit of intelligence.
Why would it believe that young man's slander so easily?
It was Otomen Lover who suddenly nudged Leinster and whispered in a hushed voice.
"I...I seem to feel a strange power...I can't describe it, but my feelings said that this person is using some kind of ability."
Leinster was taken aback and another light bulb lit up in his head.
Aha! So that's the reason!
No wonder the shopkeeper seemed to obediently follow whatever that bastard spouted, even such nonsense.
"Okay, okay, go on, search!"
Leinster didn't resist and allowed the surrounding shopkeepers to check his body, but just a few seconds later...
A female shopkeeper rigidly took out a watch from a depression on the back of Leinster's red tongue robe.
The moment the watch appeared before everyone's eyes, the leading shopkeeper, the one who was attending to Leinster, instantly broke into a wide smile.
Even the other shopkeepers' mouths suddenly split open all the way to their ears and hoarse giggles instantly filled the entire store.
"Thief....thief...."
"Punish....punish!"
The shopkeepers repeated these words over and over again, their voices becoming louder and the next second, Otomen Lover screamed,
"A-ah!! Leinster!! Your body— "
