My Shadow Can Grow
Little Thief

How long had Lin been walking around Oxford Amusement Park, now that it was night, until now he had not found any clues about the Beyonder disguised as him.

There were no suspicious or awkward signs as long as he investigated.

Because of that, Lin thought to return soon, he did not want to waste his time here again, now with a heavy heart he had to give up the money that disappeared.

"Forget it, I'll look for it next time."

Lin took a cigarette from his pocket.

While he was lighting a cigarette, suddenly there was someone who hit him who made the cigarette in Lin's mouth fall to the ground.

"Sorry."

It was the boy wearing the hat that hit him, his age was roughly around 12 or 13, after apologizing he immediately left without hearing Lin's reply.

Lin glanced at the boy at a glance with an indifferent gaze, then moved onto the cigarette butt that had fallen on the ground, after which he stepped on it.

Picking up a new cigarette butt from behind a suit and immediately burning it, then casually Lin exhaled smoke from his mouth.

"That little bastard was brave as well" Lin said.

The hat boy who had hit him was a thief, Lin noticed when the wallet in his pants pocket disappeared shortly after the boy hit him.

"In the wallet there are important items, too troublesome if they disappear."

At first he didn't want to chase, but since all of his important documents were in his wallet, inevitably he had to get them back.

'Black follow him.' Lin said in his mind.

Without anyone noticing it, the Shadow beneath Lin quietly moved and disappeared, Black quickly left Lin's shadow and followed the fleeing hat boy.

Fortunately the boy did not go too far, Through sharing the vision between himself and Black, Lin could tell the location of the boy now.

Previously he had wanted to use the secret art of 'Shadow Body' to teleport through Black, but since many people here, Lin chose not to, it would be too strange if he disappeared all of a sudden.

So he could only walk according to the location Black had given him.

In a small alley, a boy in a hat was silent for a while, then he took something out of his pocket, it was a brown wallet made using cowhide and various shiny beads made the wallet look luxurious.

"Hehehe, this time I got a good catch." the boy chuckled.

Looking at the wallet in his hand, the boy knew that the owner of this wallet must be a rich person, it was all proven by looking at the quality of the wallet.

Without a second thought, the boy opened the wallet in his hand.

Then he was surprised.

"100 Dollars!, isn't this too much? No, there are still a few more in 2,4,7,9! There are 9 pieces of money in the form of 100 dollars!" the boy looked at the dollars in front of him.

He still couldn't believe what he was seeing now, then he started recalculating the dollar in the wallet again, making sure that he wasn't wrong in counting.

After he finished recalculating, this time he was convinced that he was not wrong, there were really 900 dollars in the wallet.

"Haha! With this much money I can buy a sumptuous meal for an entire year."

After saying that he put his wallet back into his suit pocket and then wanted to leave.

But suddenly someone pulled him from behind.

Haven't had a chance to say anything, the person who pulled him, suddenly pushed himself against the wall violently.

The sound of impact rang out, the boy felt pain in his chest, he tried to see who was pushing him, then he heard a voice from behind him.

"Give me the purse." an indifferent and extremely cold voice entered the ear of the hat-boy.

"Don't joke! I don't understand what you're saying!" said the boy in the hat, then he looked back and finally saw the person who had cornered him.

"You!!" he was surprised not to play.

The person behind him turned out to be the owner of the wallet he had stolen.

'Why are you here?' The boy in the hat was very confused.

Lin looked at him playfully. "Shocked? Now give me my wallet back."

The boy was surprised. 'He knows I stole his wallet?'

He was sure that the actions he had taken back then were quite hidden, before he had done the same to others and it worked, he said, they did not realize that their wallet had been stolen.

But strangely his victim this time knew of his actions which made him wonder if there were any flaws when he did the action.

"What are you talking about, sir!? What wallet do you mean? I don't have it at all!" The kid in the hat pretended not to know.

"Do you still want to lie that you didn't steal it? Don't test my patience! Or you will accept the consequences." Lin pressed the boy harder against the wall.

"ah! Unhand me! Sir are you aware that this action of yours is in violation of the laws of the Empire of the night, if you do not release me as well, I will pass you to the guards!" Shouted the boy.

Lin smiled faintly after hearing the words of the hat boy, then he said.

"It's interesting, a thief spoke about breaking the law in front of me, talking about breaking the law instead of you breaking the law yourself? stealing someone's wallet."

"What did you say? What's the evidence if I steal your wallet?" replied the boy in the hat.

Without saying much Lin reached into the clothes of the boy.

"What do you want to do? Release!" The kid in the hat wanted to break away from Lin's grip, but unfortunately couldn't, Lin's physical strength was stronger than him, obviously he lost, the boy just made a futile effort.

"Meet." Lin finally found his wallet, it was tucked in the pocket of the hat boy's coat.

"This is the proof, what more reason do you want to say?"

"I. "the face of the boy in the hat turned pale.

This time he was at a loss to give Lin what answer, he could only fall silent.

"I admit wrong, sir please don't take me to the guards, I promise I won't do it again."

Lin snorted, then threw the boy all the way away from him, the boy immediately fell to the ground, then not for long he tried to stand up.

"Thank you sir." the boy in the hat went straight away.

After getting his wallet back, Lin immediately walked towards the outside of the alley, but he suddenly felt something strange behind him.

It turned out that there was someone following him from behind, his steps immediately stopped, without looking back he said.

"out! I know you're following me." Lin shouted in a quiet narrow alley.

The black figure behind Lin trembled, he seemed to be surprised that his existence hidden in the darkness had been noticed by Lin.

"Master Lin is indeed great, you instantly realized my existence, even though I used an extraordinary object, it seems that the rumors were not in any exaggeration."

Finally a figure hidden in the darkness appeared, looking at that person, Lin frowned.
