She didn't know if it was specially measured, but all the clothes that Culolo prepared for her fit very well.
Including the wine-red dress that he chose for her.
When she was in the shop, Su Yu rarely wore clothes other than black.
But after living here for a few months, she had worn all kinds of colors.
In the end, no matter what color,
She could control it very well.
It was better to say that it was completely impossible to imagine her not being beautiful.
When the young girl finished putting on her clothes and walked down the stairs with a puzzled heart,
Chivalry, who was originally sitting on the sofa, had disappeared.
Only Culolo, who had changed into a formal suit, was left sitting there.
He was holding a hardcover book with a handprint in his hand.
Su Yu noticed that his tie was also wine-red.
The girl's movement downstairs attracted his attention.
Culolo closed the book with one hand and turned to look at her.
A trace of undisguised amazement flashed across his face. "The effect is better than I imagined.
I'm a little reluctant to take you out. "
Hearing his straightforward praise, Su Yu tugged at the hem of her dress. She couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart.
She sat next to the man and asked curiously, "Can you tell me now? What kind of banquet is it?"
Culolo tilted his head and smiled at her. The Thief's Mastery disappeared in his hand.
He touched his chin with his other hand and said,
"Weren't you very interested in the Chyrameen culture before?
There are rumors that the Kulica family recently obtained the last crown of the Chyrameen Dynasty.
And the gem inlaid on it seems to be one of the ten legendary jewels.
We plan to go and take a look. "
Hearing this, Su Yu understood that he didn't just mean 'take a look'. Thinking of the scene of the man's blood splattering everywhere that day, she couldn't help but frown and protest, "Since it's your exploration team's activity, you don't have to bring me …"
Hearing this, Ku Luoluo suddenly leaned over and kissed the corner of her eye.
"Just treat it as accompanying me, how about it?" He observed the changes in the girl's emotions from a very close distance. When he saw her face suddenly turn pink because of his actions, he smiled with satisfaction.
Su Yu, on the other hand, was filled with despair as she felt her heart suddenly beating faster in her chest. She only felt that she was really going to lose it.
"… I understand." In the end, she nodded reluctantly.

The other members of the exploration team arrived at the bungalow in the afternoon.
After Chivalry left for a while, he returned with Cooper.
For the first time, Su Yu saw a person whose hair was really as long as his body. She couldn't help but steal a few glances, wanting to see the person's real face under his hair. Cooper seemed to be aware of her purpose. He sat in the corner of the living room and ignored her.
Feitan, who came in behind Finks, recognized Su Yu as the person he met during the examination as soon as he entered the door. He revealed a sinister smile and said in a low voice, "I was wondering why the captain did such a boring thing at that time. So this is the reason."
His slender golden eyes hidden behind his long bangs looked at Su Yu from head to toe, as if he was secretly evaluating her value.
Following his words, Su Yu recalled the scene at the beginning of the examination. At that time, she thought that Feitan didn't care about the behavior of ordinary people. Now that she thought about it, it was because he knew Culolo's identity that he let her go.
Su Yu felt uncomfortable with such a gaze. Chivalry walked up to her with a smile and asked, "Feitan, have you seen Su Yu long ago? This is the first time I've seen you."
"She's the prey that the captain had his eyes on during the examination." Feitan withdrew his gaze and sat down at the table. He briefly explained the situation to Chivalry.
Finks finally regained his senses. Ever since he entered the door and saw the girl, he had been standing there in a daze. He rubbed his head and laughed, "What an amazing girl. No wonder there's no news about the captain for the past two months. It's because he's in the arms of a beauty."
His words attracted the attention of the others in the room. The girl had never experienced such teasing before. She couldn't help but be stunned. Seeing that Su Yu was at a loss, Culolo smiled and called out softly, "Su Yu, come over here."
He patted the seat beside him and gestured for her to come over. Su Yu quickly walked over and used the man's body to avoid the explicit gaze of the group of people.
"Are these people your companions?" Su Yu whispered in his ear.
"The one who spoke just now is Finks." Culolo nodded and lowered his voice. There was a hint of mischief in his calm eyes, "You don't know how to get along with him. Actually, it'll be fine once you're familiar with him."
Su Yu nodded after hearing the man's comforting words. She continued to whisper, "He looks quite fierce when he's not talking. And his voice is a little too loud …"
And Feitan, who said that she was his prey right in front of her. Although she understood the logic behind it, how was she supposed to respond to that …
Culolo couldn't help but chuckle when he thought of the other members of the exploration team who didn't participate in the mission. "Then you haven't seen anyone louder."
There would be plenty of opportunities to bring her to meet the others in the future, if his interest in her was still as high.

When the sky gradually darkened, everyone changed into formal attire and went to the Kulica family's huge villa in the suburbs where the banquet was held.
Other than Kubi, who stayed in the small bungalow as a support staff, Feitan, Chivalry, Finks, Little Droplet, and Paikonoda, who arrived later, all participated in the mission.
The two female members who arrived later didn't say anything about Su Yu's appearance, but Su Yu could still clearly feel the attention from Paikonoda.
However, it was already the best that she didn't hear any more embarrassing remarks.
They drove to the destination in a long luxury car that Chivalry got from god knows where. Everyone in the exploration team formed their own teams, dispersed, and walked in with different invitations. Su Yu naturally followed Culolo. When the guard looked at her, she tightened her grip on the man's hand.
"Don't be so nervous. Just treat it as if you're just here to have fun." Culolo seemed to have noticed her strange mood, so he lowered his head and comforted her in her ear, "The rest is our business."
Su Yu nodded and didn't speak. She wasn't worried about whether the mission would succeed, but when she thought that this magnificent villa might turn into a battlefield, she couldn't help but want to retreat.
She knew what might happen next, and it wasn't that she had never seen death before, but she didn't know if she would feel uncomfortable watching an innocent person die with her own eyes. What was even more frightening was that she could only watch all of this happen without being able to do anything.
The best choice was actually to avoid it. She shouldn't have agreed to Culolo's invitation, but that man didn't allow her to refuse. Although on the surface it seemed that she was tempted by him to agree, Su Yu knew that she had no right to refuse.
Su Yu sighed inwardly. She felt that she needed to find some time to calm down.
The whole hall was filled with figures in gorgeous dresses and wine glasses. The crystal chandelier on the ceiling was very long, and under the light, it projected a diamond-like light. The people walking back and forth under the chandelier had a kind of illusory pride and nobility on their faces, like a group of peacocks showing off their gorgeous feathers, unaware of the disaster that might come next.
Su Yu sighed. She let go of Culolo's hand and turned to the self-service area in the corner. Her original intention was to stay away from this group of disguised thieves, but she didn't know that when she was alone, many people's eyes were attracted to her.
The young girl's fair skin was even more alluring when contrasted with the wine red dress. Her pair of purple eyes that were as bright as the stars did not need any extra adornments to be shockingly beautiful. Just a single glance was enough to make one unable to look away. Her expression was indifferent and seemed to carry a hint of worry, which was enough to break one's heart.
What a cruel thing to do, to have the heart to make her show such an expression.
In silence, many men had quietly moved in that direction. Noticing the change in the flow of people in the hall, Culolo picked up a glass of champagne and the corner of his mouth slightly widened.
"It's unbelievable. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would never believe that there's such a person in this world." The Vigilante appeared beside him, holding a plate with some simple snacks on it. "No matter where she is, she's always shining. As long as she's around, almost everyone's attention will be taken away."
This kind of attractiveness was like a natural aphrodisiac, capturing the attention of others while also bringing great convenience to their actions. What was even more frightening was that the girl didn't seem to have any clear understanding of her enormous destructive power. She just stood there casually, completely unaware of the storm she had stirred up.
The chivalrous swordsman began to understand why Ku Luoluo brought her here.
But Culolo's original intention did not seem to be like this. Although his expression was relaxed, as if everything was under control, his obsidian-like eyes did not move away from the young girl for a moment.
After a moment of observation, Chivalry noticed the man's appearance and said jokingly, "If you are so nervous, why don't you go and bring her back, and keep her by your side and never let her out again?"
"I want to see how far she can go." The man lowered his voice and spoke, not hiding his thoughts at all. "She is very dangerous."
Although the man felt that he was still clear-headed, it was hard to say if he had unknowingly been captured by the young girl's terrifying charm.
He wanted to see her from the perspective of a third party. Although the possessiveness in his bones could not be stopped, he wanted to pull her to his side, wanted to gouge out the eyeballs of everyone who looked at her, wanted to cut off the tongues of everyone who spoke to her, and wanted to smash the skulls of everyone who casually thought about her. But the man did not make a move. He only looked at her from afar, his eyes were empty and cold.
He had already tied her up, so why did he bring her out?
A woman like this should be piled up with gold, silver, and jewels. She should be given the best clothes, the softest bed, the most delicious food, and the best things in the world. Then, she should be locked in a house made of gold and not let anyone see her.
Culolo had a rare moment of regret. Right now, he wanted to burn down the ball and take his precious treasure back to a place where no one could see her.
From tomorrow onwards, he would lock the door. He had tested her enough times.
With that in mind, Culolo raised his head and drank the liquid in his glass. Just as he turned around and put down the glass, Chivalry suddenly whispered, "Wait … I see the current head of the Kulica family walking over there."
Culolo turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a few bodyguards walking confidently towards the young girl with a glass of wine in his hand.
The current patriarch of the Kulitsa Family was not very old. He was in his early thirties, but he looked like a young man in his twenties. His short platinum hair was meticulously combed to the back, revealing his high nose bridge that was characteristic of a mixed-blood Afazila. The man's appearance was handsome and elegant, but there had always been rumors that he loved collecting rare treasures. He was so fanatical that he was no longer interested in other things in life. Therefore, although he had inherited the entire family at a young age, he had always remained unmarried despite his age.
However, Culolo was not surprised that he was attracted to Su Yu. Rather, the young girl herself was a rare treasure. It would be strange if he was not attracted to her.
Su Yu, who was oblivious to all this, didn't even realize that the man who came up to talk to her was the host of the ball. It wasn't until he couldn't help but casually reveal his identity that she finally realized.
"I heard that the grand finale of this ball is the crown of the last king of the Chiramanu Dynasty?" She looked up at the man, her fingertips casually playing with the delicate wine glass. The surface of the glass reflected the light, but it was far from the light in her eyes.
Just a casual glance from her made the man feel that it was a great honor. He quickly nodded and said, "Yes, that crown has never been displayed in front of the world since it was unearthed. I bought it from a group of grave robbers at a high price. Are … are you interested?"
He did not know why he, as the head of the family, could not help but use honorifics to address this young girl of unknown identity. But when he saw her indifferent expression, he could not help but lower himself. This matter might be a little embarrassing in the eyes of others, but he did not care.
The young girl smiled. If she was a flower that could only be seen from afar, then the smile in front of him now was like all the flowers in the world blooming together. She had an intoxicating smile on her lips and said softly to him, "Yes, I am very interested. I heard that the jewel inlaid on the crown is one of the ten legendary treasures in the world. I want it very much."
She wanted it.
She said that she wanted it.
The crowd not far away was in an uproar. Looking at the figures of the bodyguards who dashed out from the crowd, Chivalry whistled, "It seems that the old bachelor of the Kulica family is quite obsessed with her. Captain's treasure is indeed extraordinary."
Seeing the way he used the bodyguards, was he going to present the crown in advance? For her, he did not even care about the guests of the ball. The head of the family was quite obsessed with rare treasures.
Culolo had a mouthful of cold wine in his mouth. His deep black eyes did not show any change in emotion. It was better to say that he had always been this emotionless. No matter if he was sad, angry, or troubled, his expression and mood seemed to be completely disconnected. He would only move the muscles on his face when necessary.
His gaze passed through the crowd and landed on her, but the young girl was still oblivious, minding her own business as she counted the snacks on the plate.
Her entertainment ended when the bodyguards carried the heavy safe all the way over.
The head of the Kulica family no longer had eyes for the guests beside him. There was an obvious fanaticism on his face. He waved his hand and asked someone to bring the safe in front of him. After he skillfully entered the password, the heavy safe opened a small gap.
"I am willing to give everything to you, my goddess." He knelt on one knee and took out the crown that was worth tens of billions. The exquisitely carved crown had been through thousands of years, but it was still as bright as if it was newly cast. Surrounded by carved flowers, the pigeon-egg-sized sapphire shone with a strange light.
It was like a frozen lake with thousands of broken diamonds. It had a round halo, but also had sharp edges and corners. It was like the stars in the summer night sky had gathered together. But even such an amazing gem couldn't compare to the beautiful purple light under the girl's long eyelashes.
Su Yu lowered her eyes and picked up the crown in the man's hand with one finger. Her nonchalant attitude made it seem as if she wasn't picking up a cultural relic worth tens of billions, but a garland handed over by a woman at a Jordanian festival.
A peerless beauty matched with a peerless treasure. Such a scene made the man kneeling on one knee almost cry tears of joy. But Su Yu did not look at him again. Her gaze passed through the crowd, through the crowd's crazy and envious gazes, and accurately met the eyes of the black-haired man.
Now that the target of their operation was in her hands, would this operation be able to end successfully?
Culolo seemed to have seen through her intentions. The corners of his mouth gradually curved into a cold smile.
Chivalry beside him raised his phone and gave orders to the people present.
