Eternal Thief

Chapter 510 Eighth Day Of Auction

Inside VVIP Room No.3,

At this moment, the Exalted Demon King had a deep frown with a hint of fury in his eyes as he looked at the kneeling Grand Elder of Puppeteer Clan in front of him.

The five other youths inside the room also looked with incredulity and outrage.

After the Grand Elder reported the robbery of Black River City, they all felt like this was some big joke. But sadly, it wasn't after the Exalted Demon King confirmed it with his information network.

"Henry, it's been a hundred years since I last saw you." Exalted Demon King said as if nothing happened, but the anger in his voice was apparent. He coldly said, "It seemed you've grown old and… senile."

Grand Elder or Henry trembled when he heard this, and he knew the Exalted Demon King was calling him incompetent in a roundabout way.

Everyone knew how calm and polite the Exalted Demon King was all the time, and very few demons knew that his appearance was just a façade, and he was ruthless and unforgiving to anyone who would make mistakes.

The magistrate clans knew about this since they belongs to the same tribe.

The Exalted Demon King was a dictator and he won't accept any mishap in his province. Especially anything remotely related to stealing.

However, now, some robbers looted one of the magister cities and even managed to escape unharmed. It was a colossal blunder on the Puppeteer Clan's part, and they had to suffer the consequences.

When Henry said he was calling in a favor, he didn't mean to use it to capture those robbers. But he wanted to use that favor in exchange for the Exalted Demon King's mercy!

Exalted Demon King coldly spoke without any emotions, "Very well, since you're using that favor right now to earn my forgiveness, you can have it."

Henry had a massive sigh of relief.

"But…" this work sent chills down Henry's spine.

"But the Puppeteer Clan will withdraw from their position as a Magistrate Clan and return to the domain. A new clan will take over your position. Do you concur?" The Exalted Demon King coldly looked at Henry without even blinking.

'Sigh… at least I save everyone from execution. As long as our clan exists, we'll rise again.'

With such thoughts in his mind, he solemnly accepted, "I concurred! Thank you for this kindness, Your Majesty!"

Exalted Demon King merely nodded, "Now go back, I'll send someone to take control of the situation in the Black River."

Henry quickly thanked him again before he promptly left without asking about the robbers. He knew just escaping with his and his clan's life was already a miracle.

He wasn't worried that those robbers would get away with this after angering the Exalted Demon King. Furthermore, he had many methods to locate them!

After Henry left, a youth with a resemblance to Exalted Demon King spoke with glum, "Royal Father, are we really letting the Puppeteer Clan off the hook with his blunder?"

Exalted Demon King's lips curled as he coldly said, "Although I let them go, their life won't be a happy one from now on. You guys can also kill their hires in the demon gate trial as long as you got the chance. They no longer belong to our Demon Tamer Team."

Those youths smiled grimly when they heard that as killing intent flashed past their eyes.

"As for those rebels, if they think they're like that degenerate thief and can get away with this treason and sully my lands, then they're already dead. No one can escape my pets' detection!"

"… Room No.3,439 won this Ice Fairy Sword for 9 million peak-grade-2 Qi stones!

"So, this concludes the auction of the third day. I'll see you all in two hours!"

Lilly announced the end of the third-day auction and left the stage!

Ace was calmly looking at the projection mirror. He didn't bid for anything today since most of his attention was on the house mission. Furthermore, there wasn't anything that caught his eye at today's auction.

'Three or four days more before they reached the peripheries of the forbidden plains. But that Exalted Demon King is famous for his beast-taming abilities and I had seen him moving against the fox mountain that day.

'Although he might not seek the royal zone's help or even bother reporting it to the royal council since this was robbery done by an infamous bandit gang. But with their information network, it won't be late before they find out about this robbery.

'Especially the Life Demon Association. They'll instantly know what kind of formations were used by the Moon Robbers and they'll connect them with me. Once that happened, either Exalted Demon King like it or not, he had to help them.' Ace's eyes narrowed slightly.

Even though the house mission was completed smoothly because of the life demon auction. But the house members' escape also had become extremely difficult if they were not careful.

Almost every bigwig of the demon race was present in this auction. If they took an interest in Moon Robbers because they were connected with the elusive Sky Stealer, the result would be disastrous for Noa, Freya, and Winter!

That's why Ace required them to come here in five days before anyone would make a move.

Furthermore, because the auction grand finale would be around the corner, they might not even move and decide to complete the auction before starting a massive manhunt.

By that time, if Ace retrieved his house members back in the thief's house space, he knew no one would be able to find the Moon Robbers ever again.

Neither would anyone think they were in the auction; this action was simply too daring!

That's why Ace was still sitting calmly here while also scrutinizing the actions of the association. If they decide to act while the auction was still ongoing, he would be the first to know because of his disguise's status!

On the sixth day of the Life Demon Auction,

Without any hitch, the auction was moving smoothly, and Ace didn't notice or heard anything from the upper floor, which means they still didn't know about the robbery at the black river city.

'Either I underestimated the Exalted Demon King's ability to keep the information under wrap or I overestimated the Life Demon Association intellect network. Well, whatever the case is, this will be over soon…' Ace's lips curled.

On the morning of the eighth day of the Life Demon Auction,

As the grand finale was coming closer, the items appearing for auction were getting better and better, and the VVIP rooms became more active with this as well.

Ace also won many bids for soul skills and many sword base skills in these past days, rendering everyone speechless. He was as fearsome as any VVIP when it came to bidding because he never lost a single bid whenever he made a move.

Furthermore, many VVIPs, especially the Life Grandmasters were wondering just how Ville was and how did he accommodate so much wealth.

As for the Life Grandmaster of the Ville's branch, he was coldly celebrating because in his eyes the moment they left this auction, everything that belonged to Ville will be his.

While the eighth-day auction was still ongoing as everyone was glued to their seats.

Ville suddenly left his room as he moved toward the hidden stairs that led to the lower floor and unhurriedly descended.

There were guards appointed on these stairways, but when they saw it was Ville, they didn't stop him and let him pass without any question. Only a Life Grandmaster or another Life Master can stop and question him.

Ace reached the entrance of the auction area without anyone stopping or questioning him.

When the guards saw Ville coming out, they quickly greeted him in bewilderment.

"Is something wrong esteem Life Master?" A guard quickly asked with trepidation.

They all knew someone like Ville should be busy with the auction, but he appeared here, which can't be anything good.

"No need to agitate. I'm only for a stroll. Continue your work." Ville coolly stated as he walked away with his hand behind his back.

Those guards were baffled by this revelation.

Ace spotted a vast crowd of demons and many camps a mile away from the entrance.

'Are they here for the demon gate trial?' Ace thought.

It wasn't strange because not everyone got the chance to enter the auction, and some didn't have the resources to enter the auction. These tribes were poor, and they all wanted to change their fates by competing in the Demon Gate Trail.

Well, it has nothing to do with Ace since he was here for another matter, which was to retrieve his house members into the thief's house space safety and then return.

"Where are you guys? I'm currently in disguise as a Life Master and walking straight from the arena entrance." Ace expressed in his mind!
