Wanted to Steal, but Ran into a Nen User

Meteor City did not lack medicine, but it was scarce, and only the major powers possessed it. The one Luo Ye knew of belonged to Meteor City's Elder Council.

Meteor City's three major powers were the Elder Council, the mafia, and the Zoldyck family. The Elder Council held the greatest influence in Meteor City. If anyone found out that Luo Ye had robbed the Elder Council's goods, he would never know another peaceful day!

Luo Ye looked at the unconscious Feitan and gritted his teeth. "Whatever. It wasn't easy to find someone with potential. I can't let him burn to death from a fever!" He and Feitan had been allies for several days now, and he had already invested so much effort into it. If Feitan really died today because of his butterfly effect, then he would suffer a huge loss!

He had decided. Today, he would steal some cold medicine!

Calling it robbery was unrealistic for someone as small and weak as Luo Ye. He mainly wanted to steal a little. Watching a tall man carrying a medical kit head toward District One, Luo Ye hid and furtively followed behind him, frowning miserably. "Why is it a medical kit? It won't be easy to make a hole in that thing!"

He had originally thought the man was carrying a small bundle. That way, he could have created an opportunity to tear a hole in it and let some medicine fall out. As for what kind of medicine, that would depend on fate—he had no choice. But he had not expected this plan to meet resistance from the very start.

"Should I rob him?" Luo Ye stroked his chin as he thought. "But a child and an adult man are worlds apart in physical strength. If I want to take it, I'll have to catch him off guard."

Before he could figure out how to rob him, trouble had already come from the other side. Medicine was simply too scarce in Meteor City, even more precious than food. A man walking through Meteor City with a medical kit on his back was like Tang Sanzang's flesh in the eyes of demons—everyone wanted a bite.

"If you don't move aside, I'm going to start killing." Jack stopped in his tracks and looked at the several grown men surrounding him. "These belong to the Elder Council. Aren't you afraid of getting your hands chopped off for reaching for them?"

"As long as we kill you, who'll know who took them?" The man greedily glanced at the medical kit on Jack's back, then waved his large hand. "Everyone, get him! He's alone. Kill him and split the medicine!" Then they could find someone powerful to sell the medicine for food, or hide it away for their own use. Either was a good choice.

After all, in Meteor City, both medicine and food were rare, precious things. Otherwise, so many people would not be trying to steal them.

"You brought this on yourselves." Jack raised a hand, and an explosive fireball burst through the air, instantly blasting the charging men into several piles of charred corpses.

"Nen ability! That was close!" Luo Ye covered his wildly pounding heart and let out a breath of relief. He had nearly said goodbye to this wonderful mortal world again. Meteor City was bad in every possible way, but a miserable life was still better than a good death. If he could live, he still did not want to die, even if his life was worse than death.

Luckily, those men who had suddenly appeared had tested this man's strength for him. If he had gone in himself, he had not even mastered his Zanpakutō's Shikai yet. He could not possibly compete with a Nen user!

"You actually know about Nen abilities. You're not entirely incapable." A curious voice sounded beside his ear. Luo Ye dropped onto the ground, staring at Jack with terror on his face. "Why are you here?" Hadn't he just been over there burning the corpses? How had he gotten here? Could he have known all along that Luo Ye had been eavesdropping on and following him?
