Eternal Thief

Chapter 379

Deep at night,

Inside a remote alleyway, there was an old dark five-meter-tall status with a large pair of addax-horns and the face of a goat and the torso of a human while two legs of horse and wings like an eagle, it was indeed the demon race worshiped deity, Baphomet.

Suddenly, a hooded silhouette appeared right in front of this old dark status, and he pressed his hand on the side of the status platform.

Thereupon, a small crevice appeared on the wall right behind the status and this silhouette vanished in this crevice before it closed right after.

At the end of this pathway was an opened door, and this silhouette entered it with no hesitation.

A masked, voluptuous figure was sitting cross-legged while her eyebrows were tight shut.

Suddenly, she felt something, as she quickly opened her eyes and a pair of pitch-black eyeballs, as a dark abyss revealed.

When she saw the dark hooded figure standing five meters away from her, her eyes shimmered in ecstasy as she said, “Leader, you’re back!”

Ace quickly removed his long dark hood, revealing his real smiling face, and said, “How have you been?”

Noa answered without any misgiving, “I was just waiting for your further instruction and I also manage to achieve some progress in both soul skills you gave me!”

Last time, when Ace revealed his biggest secret about being a dual cultivator, Noa’s respect for him turned into devotion.

She finally understood just how powerful Ace will become as long as he kept making progress in his dual cultivation systems, and he will roam freely in this world without any rivals.

That’s why she decided to cultivate even harder and become more useful or the day might come when he would not need her and just the thought of it make her heartache for some reason.

Ace smiled and said, “Good because I think you won’t be able to head inside the duke’s mansion with me.”

Noa’s eyes flashed with panic as she asked quickly asked with a hint of unwillingness, “Why?”

Ace sighed helplessly. He knew just how much Noa was looking forward to this thievery, which will rune Livy and the ocean demon tribe’s future.

However, after his prior visit this day inside the duke’s mansion and confrontation with Livy, he knew with Noa’s current level she would be a burden and this might affect his mission.

Although he didn’t mind taking Noa with him, she didn’t have a disguise skill or item, and she was still a soul foundation realm cultivator. Any demon with martial sense can easily find her.

Furthermore, there were now two more experts inside the duke estate and one of them was a soul embryo realm peak expert with lots of experience and a mistake would be deadly.

After he experienced how Maddux subdue Livy with his overbearing soul sense, he knew he can’t fool him easily.

That’s why he came here tonight and tell Noa about his plan, which didn’t involve her going to the duke’s estate, but he had another task for her.

“I know it’s unfair to you but hear me out, after I infiltrate the duke estate guest quarters and took over this demon identity name Feng…” Ace told her experience while hiding nothing, “… I meet with Livy over three hours ago…”

Noa’s eyes went wide with shock and disbelief when she heard how Ace earn himself a special title, especially when she heard he had comprehended half sword intent. She knew just what this represents. She never saw Ace fighting and didn’t know he was a sword path genius, either.

Noa’s eyes twinkled with stars when she heard how Livy was forced to lower his head, and all because of Ace.

“That bastard deserved it!” She said through gritted teeth.

Ace chuckled coldly, “Heh, it’s only the start of his suffering. Now, do you understand why I don’t want you to enter the duke’s estate?”

“Yes.” Noa nodded without any unwillingness this time. She knew she would only drag Ace down if she followed him into this theft.

Ace was happy and relieved. He was afraid she would insist on going. But his worries were unjust in the end.

He said, “We’ll leave at dawn in three days, and I’m also going to start the theft just a few hours before the departure.”

Noa said with uncertainty, “Won’t Livy would find out about his missing storage ring and report it to those two experts?”

She heard from Ace that he was planning to steal Livy’s storage ring as well. This was extremely risky since Livy would be there when they depart, and he’ll easily find out about his missing storage ring and which will cause a tremendous commotion.

“That’s the thing actually, he would tell no one.” Ace smiled ambiguously, “Won’t I tell you the person who extinguish the iron demon city was specific after me and from the royal zone?

“Livy might also know about it because of Henrik’s death, so what do you think he’ll do when he found out the ‘Hex Magic User’ just struck his home and even give him an owl symbol?”

Noa’s eyes when wide, and she blurted, “He would not risk such a thing because he feared he might suffer the same fate as the iron demon city if he let the cats out of the bags!”

Ace nodded, “Yes, that’s why he would do anything to suppress the news, and that’s where you come into play!”

Noa quickly understood why Ace was implying, and her heart was filled with elation.

‘It seemed I’ll be the reason for the ocean demon tribe’s demise after all!’ Noa’s eyes turned icy.

Abruptly, a green pentagon coin appeared in Ace’s hand, and he threw it toward Noa with a grin.

Noa quickly caught it and when felt the Qi fluctuation, she quickly knew this was a low-level Qi stone, but it was delicately carved into this pentagon-shaped coin.

On its one side was an owl symbol, she knew it was Ace’s thief symbol and on the other side was his thief name (Sky Stealer) written in demon language with a minor note right below it, (‘I’m Back!’).

Ace grinned, “Hehe, you see how we don’t need to worry about Livy hiding the news.”

Noa quickly clinched the Qi stone coin in excitement and nodded. “If we spread these coins all over the ocean demon city, everyone quickly knows you were here, and then came the downfall of the ocean demon tribe!”

“Hold your horses, although you guess it right, we have to do it in the right way.” Ace’s expression turned serious. “So here’s the plan when I…”

Ace carefully elaborate his plan and Noa asked many questions, and he calmly answered. He knew he can’t mess this up because of that unknown person from the royal zone.

After an hour of discussion, the meeting between the two thieves was finally over and after Ace handed ten storage rings to Noa, he quickly left under the shade of night. He can’t be away for too long. Others might suspect him if they found out he was not in his room.

Although he left those two busty maids to cover up for him, he still felt it would be bad if Maddux came to find him and discovered his unusual behavior.

Ace stealthily entered Feng’s room just like he had left, and he was flabbergasted when he was greeted by the sight of two sexy maids dressed in revealing clothes.

Dolly and Flora coquettish greeted Ace completely revealing their busty assets, “Greeting His Highness.”

He frowned and said sternly, “Don’t I tell you to not do this kind of stuff? If you have time to fool around, go and cultivate Feng’s cultivation manual, and the resources I provide you are enough for you to break into the soul realm.”

After those two sisters took that loyalty oath, Ace could do nothing but endure them.

In the end, he provided them with Feng’s core cultivation method and all his skills since they were both from the same tribe they had a talent for that special manual, and he even gave them cultivation resources he found in Feng’s storage ring since they were nothing to him.

This made those two sisters even more grateful to Ace, and they wanted to ‘serve’ him with ‘everything’ they had, but Ace sternly rejected them and chided them to behave.

However, it seemed those two sisters just don’t want to give up on ‘serving’ him!

“Hehe, let’s go sister, it seemed Lord is still shy.” Flora giggled in a teasing manner.

After they observed Ace wasn’t bossy or overbearing and was extremely easy to talk with, they became more daring and even tease him as if they wanted him to punish them.

Black lines appeared on Ace’s face when he heard this and harrumphed coldly before he goes toward the cultivation chamber. He could not be bothered by those two shameless women.

Flora’s, and Dolly’s enchanting giggles, sounded from behind.

Ace active the soundproof array and set up his formation before he said calmly, “System released the EXP and SP!”
