Burglar System: Stealing Ancient Dragon God Bloodline from the Very Start

Chapter 22: High-Five as a Promise, Distancing on Purpose

"Okay!" Shirley immediately laughed and didn't roll her eyes when she spoke.

William was about to speak when he saw Shirley suddenly raise her hand.

"Huh?" William was stunned.

"Let's high-five to make it a promise!" Shirley said with a serious look on her face.

William didn't expect her to have a sense of ritual, so he raised his hand and touched her.

"Weren't you curious about how I knew you had awakened the King's Blood?" Shirley lowered her voice and slowed down her horse. She distanced herself from George and the others and said, "Actually, this has something to do with my Endowed Supernatural Ability."

William looked at her curiously. She paused for a moment, which made William's curiosity grow.

She said when William was about to ask, "My Endowed Supernatural Ability is called [ Heaven's Messenger ]. Mr. George said that it's an auxiliary ability from the Special Category. It doesn't have any attacking ability, but it can control all birds and see their vision."

William frowned and asked, "Did you see me killing those Vengeful Wraiths?"

His heart was pounding. How would he explain the Dragon Breath if he was seen using it?

But he let out a sigh of relief in the next moment.

Shirley shook her head and said, "No, it's strange. No birds saw the scene of you attacking. Perhaps they were scared by the Vengeful Wraiths and didn't dare to approach. But I saw all the directions. No one went over, and no one left. Only you and Mr. George were at the place surrounded by the Vengeful Wraiths. So, it must be you if it wasn't Mr. George."

William was relieved. The birds were perhaps not frightened by the Vengeful Wraiths but were accidentally affected by the Dragon Breath. That was why his trump card was not exposed.

He shrugged and said, "Perhaps Mr. George just happened to awaken the King's Blood."

Shirley shook her head and said, "That's impossible. The state of injury was weird. You are unscathed and not even bleeding. Mr. George has a lot of wounds on his body. It's more likely that it's you, of course."

William had to admit that this young girl had the astonishing observational ability at a young age. Even Mr. Martin might not have noticed such details. He did not expect her to be able to observe calmly.

Her outstanding observational ability was also proven outside the military camp. Martin and George, who were near the old man, did not notice the logo on his clothes, but she noticed it at a glance.

Such ability was either due to the girl's extraordinary Endowed Supernatural Ability or because of her family's upbringing. Could it be that this classmate of his is from a noble family?

William could not help but imagine. Suddenly, a cold mechanical voice sounded in his mind, causing him to be instantly stunned.

"Ding! The Endowed Supernatural Ability [ Heaven's Messenger ] is detected. Host, please choose whether to steal it."

Shirley's Endowed Supernatural Ability?

Why did the Stealing System suddenly indicate that it could be stolen? What did he do?

William looked at Shirley in shock, but he was wondering why the system could suddenly steal her ability.

To Shirley, Shirley gradually had a strange feeling, and her face was burning as William's eyes fixed on her. Then she said, "You don't have to look at me like that. That is just a basic analysis. It's nothing extraordinary."

William didn't listen to what she said at all. He suddenly thought that he had physical contact with Shirley and high-fived her. Could that be the condition that triggered the Stealing System?

"Hyah!"

William suddenly held tight on the horse's belly, increased his riding speed, and rushed toward Sam.

Everyone turned around when they heard the sound of the horse's hooves.

Shirley was puzzled. She didn't know what happened to William. Why did he suddenly increase the speed of his horse?

William directly rushed towards Sam and grabbed his wrist under Sam's puzzled gaze. He then forced Sam to high-five him.

He could not choose anyone else other than Sam. Except for Shirley, Jones was a girl among the rest of the people. He would be regarded as a pervert if he did that to her.

George and Martin were both teachers. It was inappropriate to do such a thing to them.

Then, only Sam was left.

Sam looked at William in shock. William placed his palm onto his with a serious expression on his face and did not let go!

After stunning for three seconds.

"My God! You pervert! Let go of me!"

Sam raised his foot and kicked William's horse hard, trying to get him to stay away from him.

William frowned. There was a response from the system. Perhaps physical contact was not the trigger.

He let go of Sam and slowly slowed down the horse.

Sam took the opportunity to run to Mr. Martin's side and rubbed his palm against his clothes.

"What's wrong?" Shirley's voice interrupted William's thoughts.

He remembered that besides physical contact, Shirley had also done one thing when he saw her. She had told him her Endowed Supernatural ability at her own will!

Perhaps these two conditions had to be met at the same time to trigger the theft of the Endowed Supernatural Ability.

"Nothing," William saw everyone looking at him with a strange look as soon as he finished speaking. It was a look of pity with a little distancing gaze as if they were looking at a pitiful person.

"We respect you." Sherry stepped forward and patted William's shoulder, then wiped her palm without leaving a trace.

"No, you've misunderstood..." William shouted, but Shirley immediately rode away. The others also looked away from him, not giving William a chance to explain.

The others would speed up to increase the distance between them and William for the rest of the journey, as long as he sped up to catch up. Especially Sam, who was already riding at the front of the team.

William gave up explaining since he was not given the chance. They could think whatever they wanted. He focused his mind on the system.

After the system notified that he could steal the [ Heaven's Messenger ], this option did not disappear even if Shirley was far away from him. In other words, no matter how far away he was, he could immediately steal the Endowed Supernatural Ability if he chose to steal it.

That Endowed Supernatural Ability was quite useful. It was equivalent to having many pairs of eyes. However, William did not choose to steal it. He had a doubt. He would not have the heart to steal it before he cleared his doubt.

"System! Will the individual I steal from lose their Endowed Supernatural Ability?"

William asked loudly in his heart.

A moment later, the cold mechanical voice sounded again.

"Yes, host. The person's Endowed Supernatural Ability will disappear after you choose to steal it. That is one of the original rules. It cannot be changed."

As expected, the Stealing System could steal everything. It was not duplicating but directly stealing the person or creature's Endowed Supernatural Ability. Therefore, the system would steal it directly without any changes, no matter what level the person was or whether the Endowed Supernatural Ability was mutated or evolved.

That was how the Stealing System works. Shirley would lose her Endowed Supernatural Ability if he chose to steal.

"Will she awaken a new Endowed Supernatural Ability?" William asked again.

"No."

The system's voice was cold, just like the rules.
