There were two petty thieves attempting to break in: one Water Attribute B-rank and one Wind Attribute B-rank.
The former was nothing special, but the latter was a rare talent even in the Tianhe Star Region.
The only reason they had brought along a Water Attribute was because... it was raining that night! It wasn't that the thieves were stupid; they were fully equipped and able to conceal their tracks to the greatest extent possible.
