Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Chapter 11 - The Thief Comes Again



The cat thief who calls herself a phantom thief and is quite a famous villain, Black Cat.
Heukmyo, her real name, was now very uncomfortable.
‘Damn it… What kind of situation is this…’
To think that this Phantom Thief Black Cat, who had never been caught even once until now and had obtained everything she wanted by fooling people and stealing, would be caught…!!
And to be subdued by an ordinary person living in an ordinary apartment, not even by a famous organization or the villain specialist team of the Superhuman Management Department, and to be caught by a neighborhood policeman…!!
This incident would surely remain a long blemish in the glorious history of Phantom Thief Black Cat.
‘No, no… But is there really anything to be considered a blemish?’
Heukmyo, who was quietly riding in the police car for now as she had something to think about, recalled the homeowner who was the owner of the ring that had subdued her.
More precisely, that bracelet on that man’s wrist…!
‘Of all things, why would there be an executive of Bargr Fang in such an ordinary house…! No wonder the money smell was so strong, damn it, damn it!!’
How could Heukmyo, who lives in the underworld, not know that bracelet.
Although her area of activity is Korea or China, and Bargr Fang’s base is in Northern Europe… she couldn’t not know about it.
Anyone who’s spent some time in the underworld couldn’t not know about the existence of the massive organization led by that terrifying monster wolf woman.
Moreover, for a thief who needs to be sensitive to underworld information, it was impossible not to know about Hatieri and Bargr Fang, who had recently shown dangerous behavior by personally flying to Africa to crush a warlord just because she didn’t like his face, and then completely uprooting an entire hostile organization.
That was the reason why she had been answering questions obediently instead of resisting after being caught.
It was easier to escape after being caught than to act up more towards an executive of Bargr Fang. Moreover, the man in front of her seemed annoyed and even called regular police, so escaping would be as simple as eating cold porridge.
‘But why is an executive of Bargr Fang in Korea? Are they trying to expand into Korea? What is there to eat in this cramped neighborhood…’
It was a miracle that she was still alive, considering she had almost messed with an executive of Bargr Fang.
Fortunately, that person didn’t seem to have much interest in her… If not, her body and head would already be separated and riding the express to the afterlife.
Still, anyway, she had survived, so it would be enough to simply shake off these flimsy restraints, quickly escape, and then live without ever looking back at this place, but…
‘Meow… Why did someone who has no interest in me tell me I’m going to die…?’
Normally, she would have dismissed it as nonsense, but when such words came from a person who was an executive of Bargr Fang, where normal people are said to be rare, it left a trace of anxiety.
There’s no way that Bargr Fang executive would use another organization to attack her, and he didn’t seem like the type to move directly either.
‘Ugh… Meow! I don’t know! He probably just cursed at me because I annoyed him! Or maybe he just wanted to act tough!!’
Heukmyo, who had been pondering deeply due to this anxiety, eventually came to a convenient conclusion and tried hard to erase those words from her mind.
Then she easily undid the handcuffs that had been loosely fastened, silently opened the car door just a crack, and slipped out as if she were liquid.
“Hmph! Did you think the legend of Phantom Thief Black Cat would end so pathetically in a place like this?! Not a chance!!”
Thinking it was just a day of bad luck, she frowned and glared in the direction where the Bargr Fang executive would be, then spat and hid her body in the darkness, thinking she would never get involved with that guy again.
“Huh? Officer Kim, that thief who was in the back seat… where did she go??”
“What…? Oh, oh no…?!”
The police, who didn’t know Heukmyo’s identity and just thought she was a thief, were flustered, but they couldn’t find Heukmyo who had already fled far away.
“Ugh… This is troublesome… Should we just handle it quietly? Like it never happened…”
“Sh-should we…?”
So the two flustered police officers, after some deliberation, just quietly made this incident as if it never happened.
And regardless of that, despite having been caught not long ago, as if nothing had happened, or as if trying to make up for that mistake, Heukmyo immediately started her main job of thieving again…
And when two days had passed like that,
Thwack…!!
“Huh…?”
An arrow made of blue ice pierced Heukmyo’s side as she was moving to lightly pull off a job, taking advantage of the night.
And it was exactly in the position that homeowner had pointed out two days ago.
As soon as the arrow pierced her body, Heukmyo’s eyes widened as she recalled the memory from that time.

Why was Heukmyo, who had such stealthy, swift, and excellent skills that she had never failed except for when she fainted after touching the ring, ambushed?
The reason was simple.
Unlike usual, because she had fainted after touching the ring and was arrested by ordinary police, although it was ordinary police, she was neither stealthy nor agile this time, and because of this, those who harbored hostility towards her and were on high alert managed to catch her tail.
Even though her tail was caught, the skills of Phantom Thief Black Cat hadn’t gone anywhere, so it was only on the second day that they finally found Black Cat, and judging that if they missed this opportunity, it would be extremely difficult to track her again, they immediately launched a surprise attack on Heukmyo.
And the one who launched the first attack was a skilled individual who is an executive of a somewhat reputable organization based in China and holds the position of branch manager of the Korean branch.
“Hmm…”
Boom boom boom boom!!
He, who has some standing as a sniper-type magician, immediately launched an attack as soon as he caught the opportunity,
Flash!
Swish!!
Thwack…!!
“Kiek…?!”
That surprise attack was half successful.
“Huh… She avoided all but one in that situation?”
Only one out of the 12 magic arrows he rapidly shot hit Heukmyo.
“It’s impressive, but… having been hit even once, she won’t last long. Bring her in.”
Seeing how she immediately hid her body after being hit, he quickly gave orders to his subordinates.
Indeed, she had amazing skills, and her ability to hide immediately after being hit showed she was certainly a capable thief.
Still, while it probably wouldn’t be life-threatening immediately, there would be damage, and there would also be damage from the cold.
Thinking this, he prepared to snipe again and slowly moved his feet, watching his subordinates move to hunt the injured cat thief.
“I won’t let you escape twice, you thief.”
While the branch manager was muttering like that, Heukmyo was moving quickly and hiding stealthily while breathing heavily.
“She couldn’t have gone far!!”
“Find her quickly!!”
“Huff… Huff… Damn it…!”
Gritting her teeth at the voices of the pursuers coming from not too far away, Heukmyo pulled out the ice arrow stuck in her side.
Then she immediately poured half of the expensive potion she always carries onto the wound and drank the remaining half.
As she always carries at least expensive and effective healing potions as minimal preparation for any situation, the potion was certainly effective, and before long, she was able to recover her body.
The fact that it wasn’t a severe fatal wound also helped.
“R-really, a magic arrow in the exact spot that person touched…”
After catching her breath, she recalled the words she had heard two days ago.
She really was ambushed two days later, and a magic arrow was stuck in her side. Exactly in the spot he had touched with his finger, saying she would be hit.
When she first heard it, she thought it was nonsense… but not anymore. How could she ignore it after actually experiencing it?
“Th-then do I really die three days from now…?”
And as the thought that those words might be true occurred to her, Heukmyo, recalling the additional words that homeowner had said, trembled in fear.
Her body had recovered, so she could probably escape without difficulty now… but he said she would die nonetheless.
“I-I don’t want to die… I can’t die like this… Th-there must be a way… Ah…!”
Heukmyo, who had been biting her nails with a pale face, suddenly brightened up as she recalled the face of the man who had read her physiognomy and told her these things.
“That’s right… The reason he bothered to read my physiognomy, told me the results, and even handed me over to those sloppy ordinary police… was because he wanted to tell me to come find him if I wanted to live…!”

In reality, it wasn’t like that at all, and he didn’t want to see Heukmyo’s face ever again, but Heukmyo continued with her hopeful thoughts.
Anyway, once her thoughts reached that point, Heukmyo immediately started moving towards that man’s house, whose location she still remembered, and eventually, the organization members chasing her had no choice but to lose her.
“We lost her… Well, it’s fine. We still have ways to track her…”
To this, the branch manager retreated for now, planning for the next opportunity, as he still had ways to track her.

About 30 minutes after Heukmyo was ambushed.
Heukmyo, who had moved desperately with all her might, immediately opened the window of that house softly and quickly, entered, and moved straight to the living room where she performed a flying dogeza to the homeowner who was comfortably watching TV in the living room.
“Oh, Teacher-!!! Please have mercy on this poor cat thief!!!”
“Huh…? W-what…?!?!”
At this sudden and unexpected situation, the homeowner, that is, I, Dam Han-ul, became flustered, and thinking that the reaction wasn’t very good, Heukmyo immediately initiated her next strategy and instantly approached me, grabbing my pant leg and crying pitifully.
“Please save me!! I’ll do anything, Teacher!!! Nyahunghunghung-!!!”
“?????”
And at this absurd and unexpected situation, I froze with a bizarre expression on my face.
