Looking at the huge wall, he says, " We are gonna steal all of it first. Hahaha" and laughs.
"What?!!! Are we stealing?" Nat was shocked and stupified at David's declaring that they are gonna steal their 'own resources' from their 'own guild'.
"Yes we will be stealing and I brought you here because you are not that stuck up as Elena and I need your shadow ability or else you will be still sleeping like Elena. Now say, are you in or out?" asked David with a very serious face.
"I-I- I am not sure... do we have to do it?" asked Nat while stuttering as this is the first time she is going to steal something.
"Look Nat, you know that the world we live not a kind one, it is a harsh one and only the strong survive. No one cares what you do as long as you are strong or do not get caught while doing it and you know we are not strong enough and we need to do it. And also if our father is alive, then all these resources would have been us and now after our father is dead, Ren stole them from us so, we are just taking back what is our's in the first place." David spouted some bullshit to make Nat help him but he didn't expect her reply.
"... No David, I get it now, stealing is not wrong and that's how this world works. Yes, let's take whatever we want." her reply is almost like she is talking to her to do this.
Hearing her reply, a small smile forms on his lips and he says, " Here is the plan, Ren kept all the packed resources in safe1 and safe5 and emptied all other safes. All you need to do is to take me with you by bypassing the security circle drawn around the guild..." gives her a magic artefact and continues
"... by using this artefact which will temporarily boost your stealth skills by 3 ranks."
She nods once to show that she gets it. Then he continues by holding her hand " Here this will help you to open safe5..." and gives her an enchanted key, "...and I have one for safe1. Most of the guild members will be on guild grounds, discussing the decision taken by Ren this morning and only a few are guarding the guild and safes so, it is the only time we can do this. Quickly finish looting the things we need and you need to come back to this wall within 5 mins and wait for me. And most importantly don't try anything funny like attacking Ren because it won't work even if your stealth skill is boosted to rank5, ok? Do you have any doubts?" David asked her after explaining his plan.
Nat just nods and takes his hand and *woosh* both thieves vanished and they have appeared on the other side of the wall i.e., in the guild without triggering any alarms. After appearing inside the guild, they both nods at each other once before running in different directions.

Guild grounds, The Outcasts guild
Everyone who is present for the meeting is shouting to show their displeasure due to the decision taken by Ren to dissolve the guild, but the captain and vice captains are not talking from the start and are sitting and watching like this is their favourite show. It is now past midnight and Ren decides to start his plan.
Ren stands from his chair on the stage and releases his aura, suddenly all the people who are present in that place get oppressed due to his aura and the whole place turns silent. Then he says, " It's past midnight already and I am feeling tired from dealing with guild-related matters all day. We will continue this discussion tomorrow so, everyone... leave." No one dares to object him even though all he said is just nonsense, but what can they do, they can't go against him and turn back while mumbling how it is unfair.
Seeing that everyone is leaving, Ren turns around and walks getting down the stage after saying, " Go" to his vice-captains. Just when he reached down, suddenly there are two consecutive explosions in the guild and fire raged high from those blasts. Luckily there is no one at the place of detonation due to the guild meeting, or else there will be a loss of lives of the guild members who are supposed to guard.
Hearing the blasts, everyone runs towards the fire thinking what is happening? But only Ren and the vice-captains are standing still because they were shocked to see the fire that came from the areas where they kept the resources to steal.

10 mins before the blast
After separating from David, Nat ran in the direction of safe5 and she reached it within seconds due to her shadow ability. After standing in front of the safe, she took the enchanted key that she got from David and used it to open the safe. The safe opened calmly without raising any alarms, once she is inside the safe, she quickly used all the space rings on her fingers to store them in her rings.
After storing all the items in the ring, she took out a wooden box from one of the rings and place it in the centre of the safe. Then she recalled the conversation between them after they entered the guild.
"Listen Nat, after storing all the things in your rings, take out this wooden box and keep it at the very centre of the safe before you come back here and keep the safe door open after you left."
"What is in this box?"
"Nothing, it's a surprise for Ren, now move out and we will meet here in 5 mins." saying this he ran off.
Now in the safe Nat wonders what is in the safe that will make Ren surprised, but she held back her curiosity and left the safe and ran back towards their meeting point. She managed to complete all this in under 3 minutes as expected of an assassin. Barely one minute passed and David also returns with a wide grin on his face, but it is covered by the mask covering his whole face.
Nat then starts to leave but David stops her. Seeing the confusion on her face, he says, " Don't you wanna see the surprise, Nat?"
"What surprise David?"
"The one I prepared for Ren." Saying this he takes out an artefact from one of his rings and sends some of his mana into it. After a second...
BOOOOMMMMMM...
