'How does he know that I stole from the man?' Fiora the young lady was caught red handed by the old man in front of her. She had learned the heavenly thief technique by chance when she was travelling and found a dead corpse with this technique on it. She had learned it and realized it was an incredible technique. She was able to rob cultivators without ever being caught just by touching them for a mere second. The highest level cultivator she had robbed before was a 1st tier martial warrior.
Fiora was afraid that she wasn't proficient enough to not get caught by a peak martial warrior so she had never tried but the technique had never failed her so far.
'Does this mean that this old fogey in front of me is a peak martial warrior? Wait is he blind??' The young lady was astonished.
Karn on the other hand had pieced together two things, firstly due to his ability which allows him to see he could tell that the young lady was hiding a pouch in her chest. Additionally, considering what the young man told him previously it was probable that the young lady had messed with the brute to take what he had from him.
The brute who had run away from Karn and the young lady went back to his lodgings. He had to get out of town as quick as possible after taking care of his injury. He did not want to make the old man angrier, but when he was about to leave he noticed the pouch of money he had was gone.
'Eh? Where is it? Damn that witch!' The brute shouted to himself as he watched the innkeeper who was waiting for his payment with a metal bat. Today was not a great day for him to say the least.
Karn who had no idea what had happened to the brute decided to check his rewards out while he waited for the young lady (Fiora) to get out of her stupor.

*Night's Eyes*
(Special): Allows the user to perceive the surroundings through heightened senses from smell, sound and hearing. Allows wavelengths to form without the use of vision to perceive others and the ability to see through things within a certain area.
Karn realized the reason he could see without his eyes was because of this 'skill' he had received. He instantly decided to upgrade this skill. This was a decision based less on rationality but emotion. He did not care much for another skill but his newfound 'sight' was the best gift he could ask for.

(Special): Allows the user to perceive the surroundings through heightened senses from smell, sound, hearing and ethereal eye. Allows the user to see a bodies internal organs, meridians and qi movement. Additionally, allows the user to appraise objects and individuals.
'oho, this is interesting' Just as Karn saw the upgrade description the ability took effect, his vision that consisted of lines beforehand were overlapped with what the real world looked like due to the eye that had manifested on top of his head that nobody could see. Additionally, if he focuses he could see the muscles and meridians of the young lady in front of him. Every muscle that she moved was noticeable to the eye for Karn.
"Are you even listening to me old man?" The young lady yelled at Karn bringing him out of his own stupor that was mesmerized by his newfound vision.
"Address me with respect young lady, what is your name? lets start with that" Replied Karn with mild annoyance looking at her appearance for the first time. Fiora could be described as an average beauty. She had slight curves that extenuated her beauty.
Additionally, due to his newfound sight thru ethereal eye, he could see a banner on top of her head 'Lvl 3 - Fiora'
"My name is Fiora, I am sorry for my rudeness but I have to ask can you please help me I will give you money" Said Fiora with teary eyes.
'Eh? Where did this come from?' Thought Karn but suddenly a blue window popped up in front of him again.
