Female Novel
Chapter 529 Seeing Nothing
Dragon Queen pondered for a moment. It had been a bad year for her, and praying to Buddha might be
a good idea. At the very least, that could make her feel better.
"Alright, let's make an appointment. We'll visit the temple tomorrow. Clear the site for me first. I don't
like to be disturbed by other visitors," said Dragon Queen with her eyes closed.
Harley knew she was telling him to book the whole temple for her. Nobody would have the opportunity
to get in the temple as long as she was there.
"Okay, I'm on my way."
He took a glance at Dragon Queen's sexy body. Then he bowed and walked out of the room.
Harley dared not to have any improper thoughts because Dragon Queen was very irritable these days.
If he got impulsive and made a mistake, he would face her endless fury.
He made two phone calls in the corridor and arranged the itinerary to the temple tomorrow. The temple
agreed that they would close for a whole day and get ready for the reception.
After the arrangements were made, Harley returned to his room and called Barnaby in. The man was
an experienced thief.
Barnaby was wearing a tight-fitting suit. His usual smile had been replaced by a severe expression. He
would go and steal an important item today. He had to be very careful.
"I'm ready and can go anytime," Barnaby said to Harley.
"Barnaby, I've already told Dragon Queen that the mission tonight was foolproof. Please don't fail me."
Harley answered with a severe face.
"Don't worry, Harley. There's nothing I'm more capable of than stealing. I'm a top expert and I haven't
failed for once yet."
"The world has changed so much and suddenly everyone gives up paying with cash. That's how I lost
my job. What can I say? The power of times is irresistible!" Barnaby signed with emotion.
Harley ignored the sentimental thief because he cared more about whether they would succeed
tonight.
"Stop whining about your past. You need to plan carefully about what you are going to do tonight. I'll
send the combat team to help you. You have to steal it out no matter what it takes."
Barnaby could feel the murderous tone in Harley's words. Should he fail tonight, the combat team
would kill him on the spot.
His heart trembled a bit and his eyes showed a little alertness.
"No worries, I'll try my best. If you excuse me, I'll go and study the map first."
"Elliott is waiting for you outside with the whole team. They'll be at your service."
"Okay, I will go."
Barnaby cupped his hands at Harley and then left the room. He walked straight into the lobby as soon
as he was out. He didn't stop until he found there was no one in the lobby.
He stood in the dark corner and put a cigarette in his mouth. He lit the cigarette with pure gold
kerosene lighter and then took two deep puffs.
"Damn it!" He swore in a low voice.
Elliott was Harley's most trusted confidant. Harley would never send the guy out unless it was an
extremely important mission.
What Barnaby was concerned most was that Elliott was a very arrogant man. The guy listened to
nobody except Harley.
When Harley said he would send Elliott with Barnaby, Barnaby immediately knew that his guess was
right. Should he fail this time, he would be killed on that spot.
Barnaby didn't want to die. He wanted to live longer because he needed someone to inherit his
missions.
Maybe his skills would become intangible cultural heritage someday. There had to be an inheritor.
Barnaby felt muddled, and his cigarette had burned to the end.
Click! Click! Click!
Barnaby heard heavy footsteps approaching. Elliott paraded into the lobby with his eyes fixed on the
dark corner, and the burning cigarette caught his eyes.
"What are you doing here? People are waiting for you!" Elliott said with a foxy smile.
"I am nervous. I haven't been engaged in a mission for a long time. The cigarette calmed me down and
eased my nerves." Barnaby made up an excuse.
"Phew, I've seen you bragging about yourself too much. It surprises me that you are getting nervous
someday. If you can't handle it, I'll just leave with my guys." Elliott said sarcastically.
Barnaby wanted to agree on that proposal, but that would make him more miserable.
"Don't try to steal my thunder. Harley hired me to do the job."
Barnaby talked and threw away the cigarette butt. Then he lifted his right foot and stepped hard on it
with his shoe tip.
"Alright, let's go to Maximilian's place. I have to go no matter how dangerous it is."
Barnaby strode over to Elliott and laughed, "Bro, you're warriors, not thieves. I should be the person
that steals. You should be assisting me."
Elliott grinned and felt flattered.
"You have a sophisticated tongue. Don't worry! We won't take your credit, because that's too small for
us."
"Well then. I'll treat you to a feast after we complete this mission. Let's go for massage after that...
doesn't that sounds nice?" Barnaby said as he walked out.
Elliott smiled and patted Barnaby's shoulder. Barnaby's thin body shook for a bit.
"Thank you. To return your invitation, I've got a tip for you. You have to get this done perfectly this time,
because Harley is under lots of pressure now."
"Relax, Harley just told me that, and I promised him to do a perfect job."
"Hah-hah!" Elliott laughed and put his hands around Barnaby's shoulders. Then they walked out of the
gate and got into the commercial car outside.novelbin
The two commercial cars vroomed and drove out of the manor one after another, heading to
Maximilian's place.
Flora was restless at this moment. Harley was sending a thief here. She knew she should tell
Maximilian about this.
She hesitated for a while, and then walked into the room which Maximilian and Victoria were in. She
was so anxious that she pushed the door open and walked in without knocking at the door.
The moment she walked in, she saw Maximilian and Victoria hugging each other tightly and kissing
hard.
Flora was stunned. "Ah, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to..."
Flora screamed as she covered her eyes with her hands.
