The next day, Irina decided to hire a carriage service to resume our journey towards Baron Harrington's mansion.
And since it was still early in the morning, Irina decided that she would be the one to do that.
While I would take care of all of the equipment that we bring, meaning that I need to carry all of our things. Fortunately, I invest some strength points in my stats as it makes carrying our things easy for me.
While I was moving all of our stuff, I couldn't help but notice that some of the people were looking at me weirdly.
Especially the men who were passing by and some of them were even whispering to each other.
I ignored them though and continued to do what I was doing.
There are a lot of things that I need to move from inside of the inn to outside of the inn. It would make my job easier after Irina hired a carriage service for us to use.
As I was busy carrying all of our things, I heard someone calling out to me.
It was some random man that was talking to me. He looked like he was in his early twenties and he seemed to be quite strong as well.
He also seemed like he was trying to flirt with me as well.
But unfortunately for him, I wasn't interested at all so I just ignored him completely and continued doing what I was doing. I mean I do not like men at all. However, in that brief moment, I realize something...
Some of the stuff that I put down earlier was missing, I wonder if someone stole them while I wasn't looking.
I quickly turn back to the man who attempted to flirt with me earlier. And as soon as I turned back to him, I immediately noticed that he was already out of sight.
That was when I realized that the man earlier was just distracting me so that his friends could steal some of our things.
Damn!
I was panicking for a bit as I wanted to find the man who was responsible for stealing our things. But sadly, there is still some stuff left here. And leaving them would just give another thief a chance to steal it. I already made one mistake and there's no way I am going to do the same.
Irina then came back to me and asked me what was wrong.
I told her that some thieves had stolen some of our stuff.
"Those bastards!" She shouted angrily.
Irina then went to check all of our things to see if anything else was stolen and as soon as she checked everything, she discovered that most of our equipment was gone as well.
"Dammit!" She cursed loudly as she clenched her fist tightly.
Irina was really pissed off at those thieves and she wanted to find them as soon as possible.
Though seeing Irina being pissed off right now, I can't help but feel a bit guilty. If only I didn't put the stuff outside in plain sight like that, I'm sure our stuff wouldn't get stolen easily.
Irina then calmed herself down and told me that we should report this to the guards right away.
"I will move our item to the carriage as you file a report to the guards alright?" Irina said that as she grabbed all of our remaining stuff.
"Alright, I'll do that right away," I replied to her immediately.
As Irina moved all of our stuff to the carriage service that she hired, I went to the guards right away and reported what happened to them.
After reporting what happened to the guards, I was about to return back to Irina when suddenly I saw the face of the man who attempted to flirt with me earlier.
I immediately recognized him and I quickly went towards him to confront him about the theft.
As I approached him, he started to run away from me. He probably notice me and that's why he's trying to run away.
I chased after him immediately.
Luckily, I was faster than him and I managed to catch up to him in no time. Thanks to my agility stats that is...
Once I caught him, I immediately pinned him down to the ground and then I demanded that he return all of the stuff that he stole from us.
"Give me back all of our stuff now or else I'll kill you!" I threatened him.
The man then panicked and then begged for mercy.
He claimed that he didn't steal anything from me and that he was simply being ordered to distract me so that the thief could steal some of our things.
"Who's the one that giving you that order?" I asked him.
But instead of answering me, he just kept on begging for mercy instead.
Seeing how stubborn this guy is, I decided that I need to beat the crap out of him first before asking any more questions. However, I feel like I am creating a scene if I do that out in public.
So instead of beating him up here, I decided that I'd drag him somewhere else where there are fewer people around.
I dragged him into an alleyway where there weren't many people around and once we were alone, I slammed him onto the wall hard.
I then threatened him again to tell me who gave him the order to distract me.
He then finally revealed that the person who gave him the order was some random person named Samson.
After hearing his name, I decided to ask one final question and that was the location of that person.
"Where is this Samson person right now?"
He then told me that Samson lives in a small house near the outskirts of town.
Once I heard what he said, I let go of him and leave immediately.
The man then ran away from me as fast as he could and once he disappeared from my sight, I started to think about the name that the man gave me.
