“aaahhh my amulet!!” selina touched all over her neck frantically searching for her newly bought amulet.
The searing pain from touching the open wound on her neck made her eye blood red. She crumbled to the floor as tears flowed.
Lord Lee was angered beyond measure. This was disrespect of the highest order. A commoner dared steal from him and threaten his daughter’s life...what audacity!
“search the area around the house, he couldn’t have gone far. I want him brought to me before nightfall, dead or alive!” Lord Lee yelled at his guards as he consoled his precious daughter.
“yes lord!” The guards present all answered.
“Father, I request permission to mobilize the fifty strong. A manhunt would be started on account of this strange man” Ontaro bowed with his hands pledged.
“No, you have something else to worry about. This is not worth your time” Lord Lee refused his request.
Ontaro gritted his teeth. “but father....”
“I have spoken. The fifty strong will ad themselves. You should train more, the race won’t be easy” Lord Lee handed selina over to her maids as he properly faced his son.
“yes father” Ontaro bowed again and excused himself. His father was right, he had more important things to focus on.
Lord Lee narrowed his eyes as he surveyed the whole mansion. The skill that man used, it resembled a certain skill used by the elvians. Is he an elvian? Is that why his hair was green?

Justin was smiling like a child who had just gotten a boat load of candy. He's f*****g rich! He got almost a million in cash and more than fifteen million as assets. If this isn’t what’s being rich then what is?!
The only problem now was... “where tf do I keep all this money!” He couldn’t go around carrying a bag full of coins in his hands. It'd be like he’s openly inviting the company of robbers and thieves!
“yo System, anywhere i can store all this money?”
*Host currently has an inventory space of ten metres. Would host like to enter space or store in space?*
“enter space? Uh...yeah, I wanna enter the space” he didn’t know what to expect or what it even meant by enter space.
*Taking Host to inventory space in 3...2...1....*
Justin immediately vanished from the spot he stood. The next scene appearing in his eyes was a blue environment with a source of light that seemed to come to nowhere in particular.
The ground felt glassy and it even reflected Justin’s face. “heh, I’m handsome” like always, the narcissistic man complimented his looks.
Just right in front of Justin was the emperor's chain in all its majesty. It glistened particularly in this glassy structure, it’s beauty radiating even more.
“system...where are my other items?” apart from the emperor's chain, there was nothing else...well apart from the f*****g bread in there.
*Host owns no other items except the emperor's chain*
“well f**k that, how do I add this axe to my space? Do I just...drop it?” it wouldn’t be as simple as that would it?
*Yes* the system's voice sounded from all corners of the dimension.
‘it really is as simple as that...alright then’ justin carefully placed the battle axe on the glassy floor as he stood and looked over the area one last time. Since there wasn’t anything else to do...he left.
On getting to the place little patch of clear space he was before, Justin was surprised as nothing was where he left them. Literally nothing!
All his coins and bags...gone! Only one or two coins remained.
“what...the...fuck?!!!”
....
Twenty minutes earlier,
A group of armor clad knights marched under the command of Baratos, the chief commander of the five strong.
The were following the traces left behind by the green haired thief. And they believed they had just stumbled upon something important.
The Lord had informed then that the thief took a large amount of manbres from him in cash form...and something like that was right in front of them!
“chief commander, i believe we've found the money. But the thief's whereabouts are unknown.” Ferad addressed the leader.
Baratos stroked his beard as he wondered the reasoning behind the green haired thief. Supposedly, he stole from the Lord. But now he just left everything lying around?
“Have you combed all areas surrounding this place?” baratos asked just to be sure.
“yes sire”
“hmmm, bring the bags back with the horses. Take ten men and go report your findings to the lord, we will keep moving.” Baratos instructed the knight.
“aye aye”
....
“System what the f**k happened. Where the f**k are my coins!!” his hard earned money had vanished in the blink of an eye!
*System is currently unaware as to how host's coins got missing. The likely possibility as to how it hot missing is that someone else took the money*
Justin's eyebrows twitched, he was f*****g aware that someone took his money! He wasn’t dumb!
“Well how! How the f**k did someone take my money in less than three minutes!” according to his calculations, he had spent no more than three minutes in the inventory space.
*Host is misinformed. Due to the different flow of time in different dimensions, time in the inventory space flows slower than the normal wor....*
“So?!” Justin wasn't in the mood for long talk. He needed the meat of the matter!
*A minute in the inventory space is equal to ten minutes in the real world. Host spent approximately two minutes in the inventory space so host was absent in the real world for twenty minutes*
“....”
*....*
‘f*****g dumb me!’ It was his fault after all. But also the system's fault. If it had told him about this earlier, he wouldn’t be in this mess now!
“well atleast I still have the axe and the necklace.” Justin raised the amulet up to his eye level, sampling the deep blue colour it had.
“I bet you’ll fetch me some nice money hehe”
