Golden Fox with System

Since late afternoon, Theo had spent the rest of the time before sunset just talking with the girls and sometimes entertaining the orphanage children.

It was now the dead of night, and everyone was already fast asleep.

"Okay, let's see how they'll respond to this." Theo had a sinister smile on his face as he considered what he was about to do.

Theo was wearing a black short-sleeved T-shirt and a pitch-black jacket, black pants and black sneakers.

He went to check on the orphanage funds. Confirming with his Divine Sense that no one was around, he changed appearances to the disguise of a demi-human who is staying in the Kenedy Clan. Theo then made a pair of blood-red flaming wings appear on his back before starting to fly up into the clouds.

Now above the clouds, he continued flying as he made his way to the Kenedy Clan.

Theo had been observing this Clan for a long while already. He had already obtained every bit of detail about them, their monitoring equipment, and their formations. Thanks to this information, he was able to easily infiltrate the Kenedy Clan while remaining completely unnoticed.

By suppressing his Mana and controlling his breathing, Theo did his best to avoid notice.

He now walked among the shadows, already having passed the formation that surrounded the Kenedy Clan. He could now use his illusions for camouflage, which could not be detected by the level of formations they used. Because of this, Theo was able to make his way with great ease.

His goal was singular: steal all the most precious possessions that were stored in the vast and well-protected room located in the Kenedy Clan Leader's Mansion.

Despite noticing a few guards at the front of the treasury, Theo made illusions of the door and fixed the images of it for the cameras. Before that, he had previously located the room where the Clan Leader resided since he already knew that the room's key was with them.

The Kenedy Clan's leader was called Katita Kenedy. He was a man with a muscular build, dark brown hair, and was in the 5th Layer of the Apprentice Wizard Kingdom.

The whole Kenedy Clan compound was now fully controlled by Theo's illusions, and thanks to that, he was able to access and obtain the room key before leaving without anyone seeing him for even an instant.

"So easy~" Theo hummed in his head as he walked once more toward the treasury.

Walking along with ease, as if taking a stroll in his own home, Theo soon arrived in front of the treasury's door. He already knew where all the alarm and security features were. There were only three though, which were connected to the control that the key he just "got" would disable.

The guards remained totally oblivious to Theo, never realizing that he had already reached the door. Different passwords were set each day at the front door of the room, but Theo already knew what it was for today.

Theo entered the password and turned the door key before opening it, but he also needed to push a button on the key to disable yet another security device.

*Whap~

Shortly after the sound of the mechanisms unlocking, the door swung open. "Aren't they a little too cautious?" Theo thought as he tapped softly on the floor seven times as again, another alarm device was set off. Walking a little further in, he clapped his hands seventeen times at a rapid pace, and another safety was deactivated.

Of course, while doing all this, Theo used his illusions to camouflage the sounds so nobody would notice his intrusion.

Finally, after all of those careful steps, Theo had successfully disabled every security device. The cameras had been tricked with his illusions, making them record images as if he had never intruded. This was by far the most straightforward safety to defeat.

Inside the room, he could now see many kinds of treasures and jewels. There were some Mana Stones in chests in one corner of the room, and on the other side, there were gold and metal bars that looked rare and precious, among other treasures.

But what caught his attentions far more was the gigantic vault. It was 17m wide, 20m deep and 4m high.

"This safe has even more security mechanisms…" Theo sighed, not with surprise, but a mixture of discomfort and anger. He was already well aware of what was inside the safe.

It would take a long time to deactivate all the security placed on this vault and Theo didn't want to take the time to do so here, so he approached and only disabled the few of them that would fire the moment he touched it.

With that done, he grasped the safe with his hands and put it into his Dimensional Room. It was no far too late for the vault alarms to go off because it would only emit the alarm sounds within the Dimensional Room. Also, of course, the self-destruct mechanism had been deactivated.

"These people really are maggots!" Theo shook his head in disgust as he continued to "pick up" everything from inside the treasury and sending it into the Dimensional Room.

Scouring the entire room and seeing that it was totally empty, Theo grew a satisfied smile on his face. Now considering that after this, he would be able to shake things up for the Kenedy Clan even further, he simply wouldn't stop here…

Theo had already taken an emblem representing the Beast Sect and left it inside the room in a very well hidden corner.

As he left, Theo closed the door and then walked toward where the Beast Cult resided.

Although they had many in the Beast Cult with keen senses that could quickly locate invaders… how could they ever compare with Theo's illusions that have already reached level 7? Even the Lion-headed Beastman couldn't see through it, so it only increased Theo's confidence in his illusions.

But of course, this was limited only to those of the Magic Kingdom. At a higher level of cultivation, Theo could no longer know if it would continue to function so well. Because of this, he was not satisfied with the current level of his illusions and kept wanting to increase the level of this ability even further.

Although Theo had no disagreement with the Beast Sect, he still didn't care if they got in trouble because of his actions. In fact, they wouldn't be that hurt. Just that…

"Sigh~ I don't know why I care so much… it's not like I'm going to kill them or anything. I just wanted to borrow some things~."

Dismissing any unnecessary thoughts, Theo continued with his initial plan, which was to steal from the Beast Sect and make them think it was the Kenedy Clan's retaliation for thinking it was them who took their treasures.

Unlike the room where the Kenedy Clan's treasures were held, the Beastmen trusted their instincts more than anything. Because of that, they had no security but themselves and their senses, which made it even easier for Theo to steal from them.

"Maybe they are just dumb? Or is it really better to trust your instincts?" With these doubts, Theo continued to "pick up" the Beastmen's treasure. Although it didn't amount to much, he did get some Magic Cores as well.

With his plan complete, without even arousing suspicion, Theo left the Clan grounds. As soon as he left the barrier, he began to fly high above the clouds as he returned to the orphanage.

Theo didn't expect that stealing could be so easy and profitable in so many ways…
