Chapter 108
"Well, Master Diluk, are you really not going to let us go? No, if you really can't, you can let me go alone."
"Hey!"
After hearing Os's speech, Mako said in a dissatisfied tone.
Os really didn't want to fight Diluk at all.
There was no chance of winning, and it was a question whether he could block Diluk's casual attack.
"I'm not interested in letting the criminals go."
"That's right... Then there's nothing I can do."
Although he really didn't want to, Diluk had already said so.
Os could only give up the possibility of escaping or begging for mercy.
He could only be forced to conjure up his silver sword.
"Oh."
Diluk was also a little surprised when he saw Os conjure up the silver sword.
After all, there was a holder of the Eye of God in the "Treasure Stealing Group", and Diluk heard of it for the first time.
There were no such cases in the "Treasure Stealing Group" organizations that were annihilated in the past.
"Well, Brother Ous, come on, I won't drag you down here."
"..."
Seeing that Ous was already planning to fight Diluc, Mako ran away after saying this.
She completely regarded Ous as a tool to delay time.
"This damn scumbag woman, next time I see you, I will never let you go!!!"
Looking at Mako who chose to run away without hesitation, she also cursed without hesitation.
Mako still completely ignored Ous who was scolding her and continued to run away.
Diluk did not chase after Mako who was running away.
After all, Diluk didn't know how strong Ous was.
Exposing the back in this situation was completely courting death.
And in Diluk's eyes, even if Mako really escaped this time.
With Diluk's investigation methods, it would be easy to catch Mako.
There is no need to increase the risk for this matter.
Now Ous is much more dangerous than Mako.
"Then let me see how capable you are."
Diluk said as he conjured up Wolf's End.
"...Um, can I surrender?"
Looking at the Wolf's End in Diluk's hand, Os lost all his confidence in an instant and asked.
Originally, Os was going to struggle for his freedom.
But facing Wolf's End, Os was really worried that Diluk would accidentally use too much force and cut him and the silver sword in his hand in half.
After all, five-star weapons are artifacts in Teyvatri.
His silver sword, which could be made in any blacksmith shop, broke into pieces with a slight touch of Wolf's End.
"Surrender?"
Diluk himself was a little confused by Os's sudden change.
After all, one second ago, Os was still in a state of intending to fight with him, and one second later he surrendered without hesitation.
Because the speed of surrender was so fast, Diluk even began to doubt whether Os was planning to do something tricky.
Doing tricks during battle is also an ancestral skill of the "Treasure Stealers".
"Yes, surrender."
Os said as he threw away the silver sword in his hand.
The thrown silver sword collided with the ground more than ten meters away, making a crisp metal collision sound.
Os also raised his hands.
(I didn't expect that I would fall into this place today...)
However, Os also understood that going to jail was the best choice compared to being accidentally killed by Diluk.

"... What is going on?"
Hoke, who was hiding in the dark, looked at Os with his hands raised and asked in confusion.
After all, Os didn't leave the stable far before he was caught by Mako.
And Cora in the stable also felt it.
The weak elemental force that just appeared when the two of them transformed their weapons hurriedly pulled Hawke to see the situation.
No one in Mondstadt would normally fight with elemental force.
So the moment she felt the elemental force, Korra knew something was wrong.
As soon as they left the stable, they saw Os and Diluc confronting each other.
"..."
Korra also recognized Diluc.
It's better to say that everyone living in Mondstadt knows Diluc, the richest man in Mondstadt.
What's more, Korra is also from a big family, so it's impossible for her not to know Diluc.
Korra also understands Diluc's strength, and understands that even if she and Os are combined, they may not be able to block Diluc's attack.
"Korra, do you know each other?"
After seeing Korra staring at Diluc in silence, Hawke also asked Korra.
"I guess so..."
"What does he know about him?"Who is that person?"
"That person... can be called one of the strongest people in Mondstadt."
"Ha, the strongest person in Mondstadt... isn't that Oss?"
"..."
After seeing Cora's silence, Hawke also realized that there was nothing wrong with his judgment.
"Well, Cora, let's retreat first. Oss is already beyond saving. "
Because he knew that his past was useless, Hawke said this best option.
Since he was killed by Rosalia when he first came to Mondstadt, Hawke would not continue to do those meaningless actions.
If he really rushed up now, it would probably be the same.
It was just to cause trouble. Compared with rescuing Os in the past, it was the most important thing for him to run away with Cora now.
Hawke also understood that Os probably didn't want Cora to be targeted by this dangerous man.
And even if Os was really arrested and imprisoned in the end, he probably wouldn't reveal any information about himself and Cora.
Although Os was a jerk at ordinary times, once it came to the safety of his companions, Os was a person who could be trusted.
"I don't!"
Cora rejected Hawke's proposal without any thought.
Letting Cora leave Os alone and run away was something Cora could never do.
"If you want to see Os in the future, I will take you to visit him in prison. At worst, we can wait for him to come out. Os has never hurt anyone, and he usually just steals. He will probably only be imprisoned for a few years. Just think of Os as going on a prison tour for a few years. "
Knowing that Cora might do something stupid, Hauke kept persuading Cora.
But Cora didn't listen to these words at all.
Hauke, who was still planning to continue persuading Cora, hadn't opened his mouth yet, accompanied by a storm.
Cora rushed over directly.
And Hauke's words were blown away by the sudden storm.
"Really."
Hauke, who was blown over, immediately got up and chased after him.
After all, if Cora and Os were both caught, there would be no point in staying in Mondstadt.
And Hauke couldn't just leave the two behind and run away.
