Chapter 169: My Thievery is First-Class But My Pussy is Third-Class (1)[R-18]
“Haa... Ian... you crazy bastard...”
Evelyn shook her head as if she couldn't believe it.
Ian’s sex skills had improved yet again, to the point where she suspected he did nothing but eat and fuck all day. Now, it was getting to the point where him threatening her with his cock was becoming a serious danger.
‘Seriously! Mom has Dad wrapped around her finger, so why can’t I do the same!’
It probably wasn't just a matter of stamina. Even though Ian had great stamina, there was no way he could outmatch her father, who was born with a physical-type ‘Blessing.’
Ssh—
Glancing down, she saw semen that her pussy couldn't hold anymore trickling out.
‘Is the problem me? It feels like it... Honestly, is it normal to come the moment he puts it in? No! Seriously! Why is my pussy so sensitive!!’
She knew it was a "first-world problem." Being able to feel that much pleasure from sex with the man she loved was a huge blessing.
But this was just too much!!
Even when she gritted her teeth and declared martial law on her pussy, it would surrender and disarm itself within two seconds. She felt a bit resentful toward her own body.
“Evelyn.”
“...What.”
“Can’t you just stop hiding it and tell me now?”
“Tell you what?”
Evelyn blinked at Ian’s sudden question. It wasn't that she didn't want to tell him; she genuinely didn't know what he meant. She had already spilled everything she had to spill, so what was left to say?
“You said you’d tell me what Nine Tail stole.”
“Ah, that...”
Evelyn gave a bitter smile. It was true that what Nine Tail stole was something very precious and important to her.
However...
It was also something she didn't really need anymore.
“...Is it still hard to talk about?”
Seeing Ian ask with such a worried expression, a streak of mischief rose within her.
‘This guy... he’s cute.’
It wasn't hard to tell him, but she wanted to see him squirm a little longer.
“...No, I promised, so I’ll tell you. It was a contract.”
“A contract? ...Nine Tail took something like that?”
“Yeah... It’s not exactly a treasure.”
“What kind of contract?”
“...Well, it’s nothing major, but I guess you could say it’s a contract that the fate of the Marigold family depends on?”
“What? That’s not 'nothing major'! That’s incredibly important!!”
“I mean, yeah... but it’s not like I can get back what Nine Tail stole. I just have to forget about it...”
“Even so... then for now, you should at least tell the Family Head or Lady Audrey...”
“Hey, don’t do that! Don’t make my parents worry for nothing.”
Evelyn lightly tapped Ian’s chest.
She wasn't lying.
To Evelyn, it was an important contract, and in a sense, the fate of the Marigold family did rest upon it.
But it wasn't something she needed to involve her parents in.
“No, but still...”
“I said it’s fine. End of story! Now, I’m going to go wash up.”
“...Evelyn.”
“Ian, I said the conversation is over.”
“No, it’s not that... You’re going to wash up already? ...Are we not doing any more?”
“Ha, you really are a crazy bastard...”
Even as she said that, Evelyn grinned as if she didn't hate the idea.
Mwah—
Evelyn gave Ian a light peck on the cheek and said, “It’s almost dinner time. Mom and Dad saw you arrive, so they’ll definitely want us to eat together. How am I supposed to go like this?”
To be honest, her waist felt like it was about to give out right now. If she went one more round with Ian, she was certain she wouldn't be able to get up until tomorrow morning.
“I’ll be back. You go wash up too.”
“Yeah, okay. I’ll be right there.”
After changing her clothes in front of the mirror and roughly wiping off the sweat, Evelyn left the room.
Click—
“....”
As soon as Evelyn left, the smile vanished from Ian’s face.
‘Something so important that Evelyn can’t even tell me?’
Anger toward Nine Tail began to boil over. To be honest, perhaps because he came from a commoner background, he had felt a slight bit of support for Nine Tail until now. The "normalization" of corrupt nobles was a dream for all commoners.
But this time was different.
The Marigold family had done nothing wrong, yet Nine Tail had stolen a contract that could change the family's future out of personal greed.
...If that was the case, Nine Tail was no longer a ‘Phantom Thief,’ but merely a ‘thief.’
“Nine Tail, if that’s how you’re going to play...”
Tap, tap—

He didn't really feel like using the Gallery to doxx and threaten someone, but...
“I’ll normalize you myself.”
She would pay dearly for raiding the Marigold family’s vault.
“Hmm...”
Chloe Robelia rested her chin on her hand while browsing the Gallery.
“What’s this... I feel like my turn was just skipped?”
She hadn't been in a great mood lately. She didn't know why, but it felt like the spotlight she was supposed to have had been snatched away by someone else, leaving her ignored.
Of course, the reason she acted as a phantom thief wasn't for the attention, but...
Human psychology was such that once you received attention, you didn't want to let it go. As proof, Chloe had been more active in the Gallery as Nine Tail lately rather than using her NeverGetAnA■ account.

[Hehe, where should I hit next~?][14]
(Image of treasure stolen by Nine Tail.jpg)
Why are there so many bad nobles in the world? hehe... There are so many places to hit... hehe. Give me some recommendations for nobles worth robbing~
UseNiceWordsOnly■: For real, Nine Tail has become a total attention whore lol. Now he’s just straight-up lurking in the Gallery lol. If you’re gonna be like this, just make a fixed nick.
ㄴAnon (177.96): ? Look who’s talking.
ㄴUseNiceWordsOnly■: Who the hell is this guy picking a fight?
ㄴAnon (211.209): Just a bot, probably~
MojitoDelivery■: But why is it that you only leave the Red Rose family alone? You already hit Blue Tulip once. Just seeing how they threaten small business owners, Red Rose is the textbook definition of a corrupt noble family, isn't it??
ㄴPyororing Pyoryuring■: The fact is, even the Blue Tulip main house has never been robbed!! It was only stolen while it was moved to the villa for an exhibition!!
ㄴILoveTenantFarmers■: Yeah, sure, sure. It’s a fact that the Blue Tulip family’s Platinum Seal was stolen.
ㄴPyororing Pyoryuring■: That’s what I’m saying!!! It was only stolen because it was cowardly taken while it was being kept in the villa vault for preservation magic!! Do some research if you don’t know!!
ㄴMojitoDelivery■: Blue Tulip got cleaned out by Nine Tail, right? lololol. Blue Tulip got cleaned out by Nine Tail, right? lololol.
ㄴGalactic Dirt Spoon■: There’s a reason Nine Tail can’t hit the Golden Rose... It’s probably a lack of skill...
ㄴMojitoDelivery■: But he stole the Platinum Seal?
ㄴGalactic Dirt Spoon■: lol honestly, they’re grouped as the Three Primary Colors Families, but everyone knows Blue Tulip is at the bottom~
ㄴAnon (39.919): hehe Sorry, but it’s not a lack of skill, it’s because I don’t want to hurt people ^^
ㄴMojitoDelivery■: (Dog meme saying “Then die”)
“Ha, lack of skill? Give me a break...”
Chloe let out a hollow laugh as she looked at the comments trying to bait her. If she didn't care about the means and methods, there wasn't a vault in this world that Nine Tail couldn't crack!
However, Nine Tail had several rules as a phantom thief that had been strictly followed since the first generation. Among those rules, the very first was always this:
Never hurt anyone.
Because we are phantom thieves, not muggers.
Knocking someone out with a light blow to the back of the head was within the acceptable range, but she never did anything that would leave lasting injuries.
‘But to break into the Red Rose vault, I’d have to stop being picky about my methods.’
First of all, the difficulty of even approaching the vault was insane. Red Rose’s security magic was organically intertwined; even if you deactivated one, another security spell would fill its place, forcing you to start over from the beginning.
‘And the structure of the security magic changes at specific intervals.’
Ultimately, the only way to pierce Red Rose’s security was to deactivate all the spells simultaneously within a time limit. Even for Nine Tail, that was no easy challenge, but she was a legendary phantom thief nonetheless. If she prepared thoroughly, she could find a way in.
However, the four gatekeepers guarding the vault in front of it were truly hopeless.
‘Docheol,’ ‘Gunggi,’ ‘Dool,’ ‘Hon-don.’
Known as the Four Evils, each one was a private soldier raised by the Red Rose family at an astronomical cost. Naturally, they were decked out in all sorts of resistance artifacts, so leisurely methods like ‘Sleep’ or ‘Stun’ wouldn't even work.
‘Well... I could probably break through this too if I really tried.’
The saying "The best defense is a good offense" didn't exist for nothing. An attack only needs to succeed once, whereas a defender has to block a hundred attacks if a hundred come their way.
‘But it’s too dangerous.’
No matter how optimistically she calculated it, there would inevitably be casualties. And "casualties" was a nice way of putting it; if things went slightly wrong, people could die.
“Whew... No, I can’t. It’s better not to do it.”
Chloe sighed as she ran simulations in her head. If she could just steal the Golden Rose, she would become a superstar of the Empire, far beyond just the Gallery...
But there was no treasure in the world worth stealing if it meant hurting people.
“Then, I should change my clothes and head out soon... Huh?”
Just as Chloe was about to close the Gallery and return to being Nine Tail, a new notification window popped up.
Anon (89.74): I know your identity.
“Ha... What is this now?”
ㄴNeverGetAnA■: Huh? ㅠㅠㅠ What do you mean by that? ㅠㅠㅠ
ㄴAnon (89.74): No need to play dumb.
ㄴAnon (89.74): C.L. R.B.L.A.
“...!!”
To anyone else, it would look like gibberish, but Chloe knew immediately.
C.L. R.B.L.A.
Chloe Robelia.
It was her own name.
‘Calm down. It’s nothing.’
Right, even if the opponent had somehow figured out the name Chloe, it didn't matter. Just in case, she hadn't written anything on her fixed nick account that would cause serious controversy. Even if the posts NeverGetAnA■ had written in the Gallery were spread throughout the Sacred Academy, it would just be a minor incident, not a serious problem.
ㄴAnon (89.74): Or would you prefer I call you by your other name?
But as if anticipating that, the dynamic nick added another comment.
“...No way?”
There was only one thing that could be called Chloe’s other name.
ㄴNeverGetAnA■: Hing ㅜㅜㅜ Another name? What does that mean?
ㄴAnon (89.74): You should know better than anyone. If you keep playing dumb, I’ll have no choice but to use other methods.
“....”
Even if they didn't know she was Nine Tail, at the very least, Chloe Robelia had been identified. It wasn't good to provoke the opponent further here.
ㄴNeverGetAnA■: Ah ㅜㅜ Pyu ㅠㅠㅠ Why are you doing this to me? I’m just a poor college student ㅜㅜ I only have 140,000 Eris in my bank account right now ㅜㅜㅜㅜ
ㄴAnon (89.74): What comes next isn't something to discuss in the Gallery.
ㄴAnon (89.74): Three days from now. Let’s meet in front of the Sacred Academy professor’s office.
ㄴAnon (89.74): You’re free to come or not, but I’ll be free to post whatever I want then.
ㄴNeverGetAnA■: ㅜㅜㅜㅜ Seriously, why are you doing this? ㅜㅜㅜ I’m going to report you ㅜㅜㅜ
ㄴAnon (89.74): Oh, you should probably delete your posts. Before someone sees them.
“Wait, hold on!!”
Chloe tried to post a comment to catch the dynamic nick, but...
[This comment has been deleted.]
The dynamic nick had already deleted the comment and vanished.
“Ha. What the hell is happening all of a sudden?”
Logically, there was no way they could find evidence that Chloe = Nine Tail. Nine Tail wasn't so amateur as to leave evidence that could reveal her identity.
But what if, by some miracle, the opponent really had figured everything out?
“...Should I run?”
Chloe sighed as she looked at her wardrobe. Preparing an escape route was also the most basic of basics for a phantom thief. If she just packed her bags and left the Empire now, she could live a new life with a new name and identity.
Judging coldly, this would be the right choice. There was no need to take unnecessary risks.
Right...
She knew that, but...
“NO!!! MY GRADUATION THESIS!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT I HAD TO DO TO GET THAT PASSED!!!”
The problem was that if she abandoned the name Chloe, she would naturally have to abandon her graduation thesis as well. It was a thesis that had finally been passed after a long period of contempt and persecution. If nothing else, she wanted to protect this at all costs.
“I guess I have no choice but to meet them for now...”
Chloe bit her fingernails. She still didn't even know what the opponent wanted. Judging by the tone, it didn't feel very friendly...
Whether it was to make a deal or to threaten them back, it seemed she had no choice but to meet them first.
