Chapter 166 Stealing the Ring

Norton sneered and cursed everyone away as if they were his grandsons. Lao Liu walked dejectedly to Chen Luo's side.

Chen Luo wasn't about to give up so easily. He had come all this way; was he supposed to leave empty-handed?

Did they think he was some unskilled outsider?

Norton was about to enter the inner area when Chen Luo hurried forward with a flattering smile. "Master Norton, I have a ready-made piece of metal here..."

Norton ignored him, and two dwarf guards blocked Chen Luo's path.

Just then, Norton was about to take another bottle of wine from his spatial ring. Seeing this, Chen Luo quickly took out a blue-bottled jug of wine from his own spatial ring.

This was something he'd snatched from the Third Prince. It definitely wasn't cheap swill.

Chen Luo said, "Master, I have good wine here."

Norton looked at Chen Luo dismissively. What good wine could a good-for-nothing like him have?

But when he saw Chen Luo's wine, his eyes lit up. "Qing Hua Zui? (Azure Flower Intoxication) That's indeed good wine."

Chen Luo smiled ingratiatingly and followed Norton. Seeing this, the two guards exchanged a look and tacitly allowed Chen Luo to follow him inside. They, however, continued to guard the entrance, not allowing anyone else to enter.

Lao Liu was dumbfounded. His Big Brother really did have some skills.

Norton couldn't wait to gulp down the wine. He finished Chen Luo's jug in a few mouthfuls, and Chen Luo quickly offered another bottle.

Norton chuckled lewdly. "You're a good kid."

Chen Luo was delighted. There was hope! He seized the opportunity and said, "Master, I have a ready-made piece of Luo Mo metal (Rama metal). I just need you to help me shape it into armor. It won't take you too long."

Norton's face immediately changed. "Are you deaf, or was your brain kicked by a donkey? Didn't you hear me say outside that I wouldn't work for a thousand years?"

What?

Chen Luo was stunned. No way, he couldn't even keep up with this face-changing act.

Norton pointed at Chen Luo, spitting as he spoke, "How laughable! You think you can get me to work for you with a few bottles of wine?"

Norton wore a mocking sneer.

Chen Luo endured Norton's alcoholic breath. This wasn't a master; he was just an old rogue.

Chen Luo's eyes fixed on the spatial ring on Norton's left hand.

Could there be armor inside? Or other good stuff?

Norton carried it with him, so the contents were definitely not bad.

Should he use Time Stop to freeze Norton and just snatch it?

Norton spoke again, "By the way, how much more Qing Hua Zui do you have?"

Chen Luo really couldn't keep up with this face-changing.

Chen Luo smiled obsequiously. "Master, of course, I have more than just a few bottles of wine. I also have thirty million amethyst coins as your compensation."

Chen Luo didn't have much money, but the card he gave to Mi Fan still had over forty million. Mi Fan hadn't spent much, so Chen Luo took it back.

He also slipped two more bottles of Qing Hua Zui to Norton.

Between eating and taking, he wouldn't be embarrassed to refuse, right?

Mi Fan had said it was best not to use Time Stop. Chen Luo thought about it and decided not to for now.

When had Chen Luo ever suffered a loss? Just you wait.

Norton took the wine, burped, and said loudly, "Thirty million amethyst coins? That's a lot, huh?"

Chen Luo smiled and nodded.

Norton grinned. "Watch my lips: Get away." (In Chinese, the pronunciation of "get away" is similar to "kiss")

This idiot thought he could get him to work when he wasn't in the mood for just thirty million?

Chen Luo's face darkened completely. He was giving him an inch, and he was taking a mile, huh?

When had Chen Luo ever suffered such a great loss?

Norton staggered forward, almost tripping.

He was drunk.

Chen Luo, who had been enduring it all, originally wanted to use Time Stop, but when he saw this, a cold smile appeared on his face.

At this rate, he might not even need Time Stop.

Chen Luo calmly walked over and exclaimed in surprise, "Master, how could you be so careless? Here, let me help you to rest."

Norton smiled foolishly, his face flushed. "You're really thick-skinned, kid. I've cursed you so much, and you still won't leave, hahaha."

Chen Luo changed his expression, his voice tearful. "Master, please help me. I really can't live without armor. I'll die without armor."

Chen Luo supported Norton, his hand reaching for Norton's spatial ring.

Norton burped again, his eyelids starting to droop.

Under normal circumstances, how could a Deity-level being allow a stranger to get so close, touching his hand without any alarm?

Chen Luo intentionally straightened Norton's fingers and then gently slid the spatial ring off Norton's hand.

It was so easy that even Chen Luo was surprised.

That was it?

Without needing Time Stop, he easily obtained the spatial ring that the Metal-type Deity-level, Norton, carried with him.

A slight chill came from the spatial ring, making Chen Luo's heart race.

He got it.

Without exposing Time Stop, he could just use Void Walk to escape now.

Once something was in his hands, there was absolutely no way he would let it be taken back.

Norton was too drunk to react immediately.

The two dwarves took over from Chen Luo and supported Norton.

Chen Luo smiled and waved. "Master Norton, get some rest."

With that, Chen Luo walked to the periphery as if nothing had happened, greeted everyone, and left with a smile.

Lao Liu chased after him. "Big Brother, take me with you."

Chen Luo laughed. "I told you, you're too timid. You can't do what I do."

Lao Liu clicked his tongue. "Keep bragging. You just don't want to take me."

Norton had just been helped to his room. In his daze, he subconsciously felt for his spatial ring.

Huh? It's gone.

Was it not on this finger?

He groped around, but it was nowhere to be found.

Norton instantly sobered up. The armor he was making for Caroline was inside, along with his wealth and all his fine wine!

How could it be gone?

Recalling what had happened, Norton roared, "That kid did it!"

Norton darted to the reception area, but Chen Luo was nowhere to be seen.

The group of Deity-level beings were about to pack up and leave when they saw Norton again.

Norton raged, "Who saw the kid who helped me inside just now? Who is he?"

"Damn it, he actually stole my ring!"

What? Norton's spatial ring was stolen?

Everyone naturally looked at Lao Liu. If anyone was most familiar with Chen Luo, it would be Lao Liu.

Lao Liu was dumbfounded. His legs wouldn't obey him.

No way, Wan Linggui, you even dared to steal from Norton?

Did you have the guts to steal, but not the guts to spend your loot?

He was bound to be wanted by the entire empire. Didn't they see how they were cursed like grandsons and didn't dare to talk back?

Lao Liu stammered, "I don't know him. I only know his name is Wan Linggui."

Lao Liu was about to cry. "Everyone, please testify for me. I really just met him."

Wuwuwu, no wonder Wan Linggui was so rich. With great profit came even greater risk.

He really didn't have the guts to do such a thing.

His path was too wild.

Chen Luo avoided the sky's satellite surveillance, found a hidden place, and used spatial teleportation to slip away.

Norton, who couldn't find Chen Luo, cursed loudly, and his fellow dwarves joined in the cursing.

"Wan Linggui, you're not human!"

"Wan Linggui, may your sons be born without assholes!"

"Wan Linggui, may you die a horrible death!!!"

Chen Luo, who was just about to check the spatial ring, sneezed.

What Wan Linggui did had nothing to do with him, Chen Luo.
