Eternal Thief

Chapter 253 - Treasure Mountain!

Ace felt his decision to come to Golden Place and go after the royal family first was right since it gave him many clues and help him snap out his delusion of invisibility. 

However, he also had the reason for being too careless because he knew about the problem with the middle sky changing border from all those memories he probed from high-level members of three organizations. 

But now that he carefully looked at all the scenarios, he finally saw the issue, things were happening too fast with three giants, and he thought they were probably at their wit's end and this was a desperate attempt to deal with him.

However, after he saw the Golden King's behavior and the way he was so calm when he left the golden palace, he finally felt something was amiss and this was a huge conspiracy going behind the sham of desperation.   

If it was any other time, he would've long escaped the golden hammered kingdom and fled as far as he could and remain low-key until he found out who was pulling the strings from behind. 

However, because of the damn mission, he can't miss this chance to complete it in one fell swoop since he doesn't know if he would get a chance like this or what if that person took all those treasures back with him when he leaves the middle-level lands? 

Ace knew that person might have extraordinary means to even dare to show all the wealth of three giants so openly and let anyone visit it. So, if he wanted to ambush him or even track him down, he could take his storage ring, he knew it was too difficult until he leveled up his skills which were also impossible in the reaming time and the system was also useless because of the oblivious reason. 

Ace was in a huge dilemma right now, he wasn't able to decide if he should make a move while everyone was waiting for him, or he should wait and take the risk of tracking that person behind the scene. 

'I should take a look at that treasure mountain before planning my next move.' 

Ace left the golden palace in a heavy mood, he come here for revenge, but get a wake-up call of immense danger lurking in the shadows. 

However, Ace didn't stay in the city and left toward the treasure mountain location in stealth. 

He was planning to observe it and see if he would find any anomaly for the rest of the remaining days. 

Since they gave him ninety days, there were still over thirty days left before the deadline. He was going to remain at that place and quietly observed the situation. 

If he found any chance, he will not hesitate to take it or fled with no hesitation if he encountered any danger. 

Ace quickly found out he wasn't the only one who was going toward the treasure mountain direction. He encountered many people on their way; they were also going to visit since you couldn't see a mountain made of treasure anywhere. 

As he reached closer and closer, with his powerful eyesight he saw a silhouette of a mountain, a few hundred meters high, it was quite noticeable since it was a clear field with no trees or mountain trans. 

Suddenly his eyebrow rose when he was only a mile away from the location and some people ahead of him exclaimed in shock and wonder. 

Even from here, he could see a towering mountain lit in white light in his night, it was hard to miss. But this mountain was made of millions of crystal-like Qi stones and many weapons, pill bottles, and manuals were scattering all over the mountain. 

'It is a treasure mountain!' Ace had to admit this mountain deserved its name. Even he never expected he would see this much wealth collected in one place. 

'How will I stash this mountain in my thief's space, even all those storage rings will not be enough? Even if by any miracle they were enough, how the hell am I supposed to store it in them, those guards would not be going to wait for me to finish!' 

Ace suddenly found the grave problem. His thief space was almost half full, and it was only a hundred cubic meters in size, and that mountain was almost six-hundred-meter-tall and three hundred meters wide. It was impossible to stash inside his thief's space, or he didn't have ample time to divide it into small portions and store them in his space rings collections. 

His gloomy mood become gloomier, 'That person played his hand well, even if I had means to take that treasure mountain away I can't do it instantly and the time I needed to accomplish is even more unrealistic to bought.' 

Ace wasn't sure if he could overpower all those people protecting this treasure mountain, especially that hidden mastermind behind the three giants. 

With a sullen face, Ace entered the five-hundred-meter radius of the treasure mountain, and he found it even more unbelievable to completely store this mountain even in his storage ring collection.

He walked around and see the mountain clearly, even though people could not move around it didn't apply to him since no can see him in his stealth and he had soul-shattering eyes to move freely without even worrying about the traps.   

All this time he was using the soul-shattering eyes, and he saw nothing amiss, at this moment when he was about to walk around the area, system's voice rang in his mind,
