Chapter 1267: Gold in the Sand

A few people around immediately cast strange glances at him, but most of the looks directed at Chu Mo carried a touch of sympathy.

The "Three Hands" of Ninth City were said to be part of an organization. Ordinary people, even if they discovered their belongings had been stolen, would dare not speak out for fear of not being able to leave the city.

There were even rumors that these underground forces in the Ninth City were actually under the City Lord's command.

Of course, none of these claims had been verified.

Chu Mo ignored the various looks from those people and shook off the small hand. It looked like a dried-up chicken claw, with hardly any flesh on it. Holding that hand, you couldn't even tell if it belonged to a boy or a girl.

After shaking off the small hand, Chu Mo walked on. As he walked, his eyebrows involuntarily wrinkled. He stopped in his tracks.

That's because, after having their hand shaken off, the child did not leave but instead followed him.
