Chapter 230 Steal from the Vault
When entering the Neverfall Clan, Raze had already contemplated that he might need to steal what he needed from the Clan itself. After all, clans were secretive about what they kept with them, especially when it came to things such as techniques.
However, what Raze didn't expect was for Dame to be the one to suggest it. It felt almost like he wasn't even a part of this clan.
"Hey, you can do it, right?" Dame asked. "We need these crystals to kick start our business. After I leave the Neverfall Clan, I won't be able to have access to their finances, and if we want to keep this business separate and away from the Crimson Crane, we have to finance it ourselves."
Dame did make a good point, and if Raze placed it in his robe, then it meant that there would be no chance of the others finding them. Taking the sack from Dame, Raze didn't say anything but complied as the sack disappeared.
Next was the more important item, and Raze wasted no time as he went back into the same aisle. He then took the item off the shelf and quickly used his powers to take it away, and right on cue, a voice was heard.
"Dame?" Rayna shouted out and started to stride quickly towards them. Dame, seeing this, started to walk towards her as well.
"What a surprise to see you here!" Dame said with a smile. "We don't meet each other in the clan or talk for how long, and now it's like we're practically meeting each other every day."
Looking behind Dame, Rayna was checking up on 'Callum' to see if he was okay. It was odd to her that the two of them were next to each other.
"Wait, what are you even doing in the vault? What do you need from here?" Rayna asked.
"Ah, you know, for helping you out in your trouble you were in earlier, Father said I could come in here and grab something that I wanted to use. I've been in here a while now because I didn't really know if there was anything I wanted, and that's when I happened to meet this guy."
"Yes, Master Dame," Raze bowed respectfully. Dame was already a popular figure outside of the clan, so it was obvious that he would be well-known inside the Clan as well.
"Actually, now that you are here, I think I heard Fixteen say he wanted to talk to you about something. He's up on the first floor; I think it might have been a message from one of our brothers," Dame said.
Almost immediately, Rayna's face had gone pale hearing about this. If one of her other brothers had called her, then she shouldn't waste their time too much.
"I'm sorry, Callum, but it appears that I have to go. We can choose your item another time," Rayna explained.
"It's okay, I can look after this one if you want," Dame said. "It's not too big a deal; I was just going to relax around the place anyway."
A smile appeared on Rayna's face as if to thank him, and she certainly was pleased that her brother was here to help. She never realized how kind he was. With that, she was quick to leave as she headed to the door; it opened for a moment and then quickly closed behind her.
"You lied, didn't you?" Raze asked.
"I had to; if she had checked where the item was from before and noticed you had taken it, she would have taken your head no matter what favor she owed you," Dame explained but then started to think.
Maybe if he had mentioned Raze's real identity, she would have kept it hidden as long as she got what she wanted from the offer. Either way, he shook his head.
"Come on, you wanted to head to the library, right? We're quite close from here; we shouldn't take anything else from here; otherwise, the next person who comes in will be able to pin it on us quite easily," Dame explained.
The two of them walked toward the exit of the doors. Before they reached them, Raze had one thing on his mind, though.
"Your brothers, why did she react like that when you said their name?" Raze asked.
Dame turned around, and he didn't have the usual cheeky smile on his face. "If you ever met them, you would know, and if you ever got on their bad side, then I'm afraid even I wouldn't be able to get in their way. I know you have already made an enemy out of the Light Faction with what you've done as the Dark Magus, but Raze, my warning to you is, never make an enemy out of the Demonic Faction."
"Remember our talk about demons from before in human skin; well, there are plenty of them in the Demonic Faction."
Family disputes were always a difficult thing, Raze would know, since he didn't get on with the only family he had, which was his father. Someone who he had to part with in the end and would happily have done it over and over again.
Not all families were good, and when a person is born in this world, who their family is and who they are related to was one thing a person was unable to change.
Exiting out from the door, both Raze and Dame were checked. Their clothes were heavily frisked, to the point where a certain manhood was touched several times quite hard, to see if they had even hidden anything down there.
With the way they were checking, Raze was just thankful they didn't go through a certain hole to check for something.
After the checks were done, it was time for them to head to the library. Although Raze had already gotten something out of this visit, who knew what else he could obtain?

Rayna was rushing relatively quickly up the large giant chains, and she leapt from one to the other to quickly scale the abyss. It was quicker than taking the stairs. She soon had reached the very top, where several people would commute.
Rushing around, she soon could see Fixteen with the others; they were casually chatting away, and as she approached them, they quickly stood up and showed their respect.
"I heard from Dame that one of my brothers has asked to meet me," Rayna asked.
The others glanced at each other with odd looks. They hadn't heard of such a thing. Even more so, they were wondering what to say back because they were worried Dame might have told her sister such a thing for a specific reason.
However, Rayna was quick to catch on.
"He didn't actually call me, did he?" Rayna said, the color returning to her face, but thinking about this, why did Dame ask her to leave the vault?
'No, it can't be, can it?'
Rayna, with a weird sensation, quickly rushed down to the vault. Going down was slightly quicker than going in. She did the same thing as before, passing through the doors and headed inside.
'If he wanted me out of the vault, then that means he took something he didn't want me to see! He wanted to get rid of me so he could do something.'
She searched and searched and had headed to one of the corners of the room. It was where supplies for the crystals would be placed, somewhat an emergency stack in case they needed to be used for something.
"A large amount of them, they're gone! Was this his doing? What is Dame even doing, taking so much?" Rayna couldn't understand it, but since it was just crystals, she was thinking of letting it go.
Even if she told her father about something like this, she imagined that he would let it go as well. When she was walking away, she soon walked past the aisle where she had seen Dame.
'Wait, why was Dame and Callum talking to each other? When I went to approach them, he was the one that came towards me. I thought his actions were strange, but then again, I don't really know him that well?' she thought.
Needing to check her hunch, she walked down the aisle and looked at all of the items, and that's when she noticed, the small metal block, it was gone.
