Eternal Thief Chapter 448

Published at 15th of October 2022 10:57:48 AM

At night, Feng returned to the blade castle and no one suspect anything as he returned to his courtyard.

'Sigh… it finally ended.' Ace sighed with a hint of exhaustion.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought about his long conversation with Freya at the Lionheart Shop.

Not only did she ask all kinds of questions, but she even gave a suggestion for his thievery, which Ace never thought of before, and he had to admit that women had a talent for tactics. But she was just too sharp and hard to fool.

Nevertheless, Ace was glad he added her to the Thief House. Now he had access to all kinds of information and resources. He also handed her the things he didn't need. To sell in the black market, which emptied fifteen percent of his thief's space.

He also told her about the theft method to acquire house points, which made her startled, and he also taught her his two signature skills, Soul Threads and Thief's Charity (Inverse and Reverse).

He even offered her a 'safe place' for her real body to change her cultivation technique after he was done with this theft and, surprisingly, she agreed as well.

After dealing with all this, he left, since it might alert the demon king if he didn't return to the castle at night.

'She told me that the royal envoy was also searching for her, and his reason for this might be her information network. Well, too bad I got her first.' Ace's lips curled.

'Furthermore, the mist domain also seemed to be in a state of silence after the hunting competition, which was quite unusual. It might be because of Santos's disappearance.

'I have to be careful of mist demon king since I've killed her son and I don't know if she knows he's dead or not. But according to Freya, the Mist Demon King had a terrifying backer, and she's also involved in all kinds of trades. Well, as long as I play my part well, no one will ever know I was here.'

Ace smiled confidently, especially after the discussion at the lionheart shop, and started to cultivate his lock picking skill again.

The night before the expedition,

At the Evil Blade Clan's secret hall, an aged voice filled with anger rang.

“What do you mean, you can't approach that brat? Do you try to visit him?”

“Father, that hateful fellow was hiding in the blade place, and he only left yesterday, but we were alerted too late, and he was already vanished and only returned in the middle of the night!” the middle-aged demon spoke with frustration.

The old demon's face was filled with fury. “Then do you find out what task that brat received from His Majesty? We'll intercept him on that mission since he had to go alone!”

The middle-aged demon sighed helplessly, “No, only those knight commanders know about this and if we pry in it, we might infuriate his majesty, so I don't dare to approach them. Especially White Fire. That guy is too loyal for his own good!”

“What about Miya? Didn't she try to approach him?”

The middle-aged demon's expression turned even nastier and said with gritted teeth, “She tried to visit him this noon, but she was intercepted by those two slave bitches, and they won't let her meet him. They said he was in the cultivation chamber without even notifying him. If not for the castle, she would've killed those two impudent slaves!”

“Sigh… it's really a tragedy.” The old demon's face wither further as he sighed in a resigned manner.

The middle-aged demon also felt the same frustration as his father because they just couldn't subdue a single brat who wasn't even mature yet.

Not only that, they were being silently watched by the Blade Demon King, especially after the banquet and if they do something in desperation, they might really suffer terribly.

At this moment, a voice sounded from the outside,

“Patriarch, a messenger has arrived with a message!”

The middle-aged demon's eyes narrowed and retorted, “Didn't I tell you not to disturb me while I'm in the forbidden area?”

The voice sounded again,

“I-I know, but the sender of this message is assumingly… All-Knowing Parrot!”

Mist Domain, Mist Demon Castle,

Mist Demon King was in her cultivation chamber. She hasn't appeared in the open after she met with Blade Demon King as if she was waiting for something.

At this moment, she suddenly moved, and a communication cube appeared in her hand, which was flashing brightly.

She activated it, and a husky voice sounded.

“I can't make a move without any solid evidence!”

The dark mist around her trembled after she heard this and replied in fury, “Our son is dead, and you want evidence? Do you even care about us!?!”

“Don't you dare talk to me like this! No one is more furious than me in this world, and I want to trample on that bastard's entire clan, but do you think moving against a Demon King is easy?

“Even if I can kill him, the Imperial Family will also get the reason to weaken my authority. So, found something before contacting me. I can't talk with you right now because of all this shit going on here!”

With that, the cube went dormant.

Afterward, a deadly soul Qi wave spread to the entire mist castle, killing everyone under the river core realm!

Today was the day of departure for everyone for the expedition to this damaged ruin at the border of mighty blade province.

At this moment,

White Fire was solemnly standing in front of eight young demons.

This was the expedition team that was selected by Thomas and Peter three days ago.

The members were, Feng, Thomas, Peter, his fiancé, Brenna, Alora Yisrael, and Carlee Violent recommended by Thomas, then there was also another silver blade clan demon with a fierce look on his handsome face, he was recommended by Peter and rank 18 in top hundred, Gibson, and last was another wild tribe demon rank 23, Shepard Echo.

Shepard was specifically selected by Thomas and Peter because of his ability to control sound waves and observe them. This was an extremely useful ability in a dangerous and unknown place, like a damaged ruin.

Everyone selected was already notified two days ago about this expedition, and they were also elated to hear this since this was a huge chance for them.

They were all prepared for this expedition.

White fire said, “Are you all prepared?”

“Yes!”

Everyone answered in unison.

White Fire nodded as he looked at Feng and said, “Feng is this team leader, and you have to follow his order after entering the ruin. I won't interfere as long as you didn't encounter any soul realm level threat, even if you died. Is that clear?”

Shepard raised his hand at this moment. He was a dark orange skin demon with small horns and bright yellow eyes, wearing full body armor.

White Fire's eyes narrowed ever so slightly. “Speak.”

Shepard asked, “You said we have to follow, sir, Feng's orders, but what if that order threatens our lives, or he wanted to attack us for treasures or hoard them?”

Thomas and Peter's expressions change slightly, but they said nothing since this was a question worth answering.

White Fire smiled coldly. “If you found his decision unreasonable, you all can cast votes to decide. As for hoarding the treasures, as long as you have the ability, you can try taking them from him. I won't interfere with it. Any treasure found in that ruin will be distributed between you guys, but I won't interfere with that distribution!”

The other five expressions changed as they cast glances at Feng, who seemed completely nonchalant all this time, saying nothing.

Thomas suddenly chuckled, “Haha, brother Feng, I'll be relying on you.”

Peter only smiled wryly and said nothing, although he could feel Feng wasn't that kind of person. But in the face of treasures, even close relatives backstab each other, much less someone who he met a few times. Nonetheless, he also wanted to fight with Feng, so he found it an opportunity as well.

At this moment, Feng suddenly moved and stand right beside White Fire and said, “I don't want anything that isn't related to the sword, and if we came in the possession of anything related to the sword, I'll share it with brother Peter.

“I hope everyone can work together without being vigilant of each other, or I'll kill anyone who would try to drag me down or sabotage anyone. Is that clear?”

“I agree.” Thomas was first to agree.

Peter smiled. “I'll also share anything related to the sword with brother Feng. Don't worry.”

The others also quickly agreed since Feng promise not to fight for other things, and they felt relief.

White Fire couldn't help but smile in satisfaction. He was also glad that Feng cleared this small seed of discord, or they can never work together with each other.

He said, “Now that we are all on the same page, let's go. We'll travel in carriages for half a month first. Let's go.”

Afterward, they all embark on five carriages and depart for this expedition!
