Look, there he is!

How can he just steal the core
and walk off like that...?

Aaah! Stop!
M-make him stop!

I've only been hired to do a job...
I was told I'd get a good price for
any blastia cores I could find.

You stole cores from the imperial
capital too, didn't you?

The capital? No way, not me!

Then maybe it was one
of your friends.

Y-yeah! It's that
creep, Dedecchi.

Where'd he run off to?

He's probably picking up his money
from the client right now.

Client, huh? And who
exactly might that be?

All I know is he's somewhere in Torim Harbor.
I don't know any more than that!

He was a huge bruiser of a guy with a scar
on his right cheek and one eye missing.

So is this the guy collecting
all the cores...?

And where did you steal
that Sorcerer's Ring?

Wh-who says I stole it?
The client gave it to me, said it
would be useful for this job!

Liar. That's not something
the boss of some pickpockets
could get his hands on.

H-honest! You
gotta believe me!

This thing sounds pretty big. You think
somebody important is behind it all?

I think you're on the right track, Captain Karol.
This doesn't sound like some ordinary band of thieves.

Man! First the Knights, then
the monsters, now this...

Knight? Then Flynn
was here after all.

Yeah, that's him.
That damn knight!

Shut up!

Great, Rita. You
knocked him out...
Now what?

I'll have the city guards
come pick him up later.

All right then, let's
get back to Aspio.
