Returning With A Thousand Favors novel Chapter 395

Chapter 395 

“We definitely can’t handle a dangerous mission like this on our own,” Marian sighed as she looked at Gavin. 

“Then who else can we find if not ourselves?” Gavin seemed puzzled. 

“Have you ever heard of the master thief, Locke? Marian asked, her expression carrying a meaningful implication. 

“Locke? Are you talking about the legendary master thief who can steal anything?” Gavin’s eyes lit up at the mention of the 

name. 

“That’s right, it’s him!” Marian confirmed. 

“But this guy is so clusive; besides knowing his name, we can’t find any information about him. There have been rumors saying that Locke doesn’t even exist at all, Gavin explained. 

“They said that the previous theft cases that shook the world were basically directed and acted by some people.” 

“Those people just want to pocket those treasures. That’s why they fabricated such a God of Thief,” Gavin said. 

“This time you’re wrong: he does exist,” Marian smiled. 

“How can you be so sure? Do you know him?” Gavin asked curiously. 

Marian nodded, “Yes, I know him.” 

“You really know him?” Gavin’s eyes widened in surprise. 

“Why would I lie to you? That guy still owes me a favor, and now it’s the perfect time for him to repay it,” Marian said with a 

smirk. 

At this point, Gavin didn’t know what to say. “How many people does Miss Bailey actually know?” he wondered. 

She seemed to know even legendary figures like Locke. Comparing himself to her, he felt quite inadequate. 

Mmmmm… 

He began to think he was not worthy of staying by Mr. Hernandez’s side. 

“Can you contact him?” Simon found Marian’s suggestion feasible. 

“We won’t know until we try, Marian said as she took out her phone. 

After flipping through some contacts she hadn’t connected with for years, she opened a chat with a specific profile and sent a single dot. 

Gavin almost stared at Marian’s phone intently. After a moment, they received a response–a question mark. 

“It’s time for you to repay your debt,” Marian swiftly edited a message and sent it back. 

“Little girl, you’re still alive? You hadn’t contacted me in so long; I thought you were no longer in this world, the message read. 

The response came almost immediately. 

Marian typed, “I won’t die as long as you’re alive; after all, you still owe me a favor.” 

Marian always had a sharp tongue and quickly struck back, hitting people right in the weakness. 

“You little rascal, you seem to be asking me to die after all these years. Can’t you say something better?” The man seemed quite angry. 

“I’m in Hustralia now, and I need your help to retrieve something. When can you arrive?” Marian didn’t waste time on pleasantries and stated her purpose directly. 

“You’re in Hústralia too?” 

After sending this message, the man immediately took it back. 

Marian fell silent. 

“I’ve already seen it!” Marina’s fingers flew across the keyboard. 

Locke was speechless. 

“Don’t play dead on me, or else, I’ll come find you myself,” Marina wasn’t going to let him off the hook so easily. “Spill it, girl. What do you want me to help you nab?” As soon as the man heard Marina’s words, her wondered. 

“I’ll send you the details later, make sure to check your email” After Marina finished speaking, she cut off the contact 

Meanwhile, Gavin was still in shock. 

Chapter 395 

“Is that… it?” He was unable to process what had happened. 

“Or do you want something else?” Marina raised an eyebrow. 

“I remember, Locke never takes on outside jobs.” 

“I heard someone offered him a fortune to take on a task, but he declined,” Gavin found it hard to believe. 

He even wondered if this person was a counterfeit Locke.. 

They are who they are, and I am me. The conditions 1 proposed, he can’t refuse,” Marina smirked. 

“Why?” Gavin was pretty curious. 

As a matter of fact. Gavin once dreamed of being a God of Thief. 

And Locke used to be Gavin’s hero when he was young. 

“Because I know where his treasures are hidden. If he doesn’t agree, I’ll smash all of them,” Marina snorted. 

Gavin was taken aback. 

His back couldn’t help but shiver. 

He finally understood why there was an old saying that one should never provoke women. 

“Send me 

all 

your current info, and I’ll forward it to him,” Marina said, taking a look at Gavin. 

“Sure!” Although Gavin still felt a bit unrealistic, he agreed. 

Half an hour later, Marina sent the organized information to Locke’s email. 

Then, she started discussing with Simon what they should have for dinner. 

Before they could come up with a decision, Marina’s phone rang. 

It was a voice call from Locke. 

“You little brat, are you trying to kill me?” 

“What kind of task did you give me? Can anyone actually complete it?”
