Erend cursed through grinding teeth. His curses came out as hissing because he didn't want to make a fuss.
Surprisingly, the smoke cleared quickly. Not like the usual smoke bombs Erend saw and used. Technology like this is very unlikely to be owned by ordinary burglars.
Earlier, when he caught the man, Erend seemed to see that he wanted to put something down. But the man immediately canceled his intention because he realized Erend's presence.
The man had reached over to the cupboard above the stove, not trying to open it. After all, why would a burglar aim for a cupboard in the kitchen and not head straight for the main part of the house?
Doesn't that mean he doesn't want to steal? If not that, then what does he want?
Erend immediately ran outside. He found the backyard of his house which was quite large, looked empty and dark.
Once again he activated [Dragon's Eyes]. However, he no longer saw anything. Those people were gone in a very short time.
