Chapter 379
Eternal Thief
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, âLeader, youâre back!â
Ace quickly removed his long dark hood, revealing his real smiling face, and said, âHow have you been?â
Noa answered without any misgiving, âI was just waiting for your further instruction and I also manage to achieve some progress in both soul skills you gave me!â
Last time, when Ace revealed his biggest secret about being a dual cultivator, Noaâs 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.
Thatâs 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, âGood because I think you wonât be able to head inside the dukeâs mansion with me.â
Noaâs eyes flashed with panic as she asked quickly asked with a hint of unwillingness, âWhy?â
Ace sighed helplessly. He knew just how much Noa was looking forward to this thievery, which will rune Livy and the ocean demon tribeâs future.
However, after his prior visit this day inside the dukeâs mansion and confrontation with Livy, he knew with Noaâs current level she would be a burden and this might affect his mission.
Although he didnât mind taking Noa with him, she didnât 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 canât fool him easily.
Thatâs why he came here tonight and tell Noa about his plan, which didnât involve her going to the dukeâs estate, but he had another task for her.
âI know itâs unfair to you but hear me out, after I infiltrate the duke estate guest quarters and took over this demon identity name Fengâ¦â Ace told her experience while hiding nothing, â⦠I meet with Livy over three hours agoâ¦â
Noaâs 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 didnât know he was a sword path genius, either.
Noaâs eyes twinkled with stars when she heard how Livy was forced to lower his head, and all because of Ace.
âThat bastard deserved it!â She said through gritted teeth.
Ace chuckled coldly, âHeh, itâs only the start of his suffering. Now, do you understand why I donât want you to enter the dukeâs estate?â
âYes.â 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, âWeâll leave at dawn in three days, and Iâm also going to start the theft just a few hours before the departure.â
Noa said with uncertainty, âWonât Livy would find out about his missing storage ring and report it to those two experts?â
She heard from Ace that he was planning to steal Livyâs storage ring as well. This was extremely risky since Livy would be there when they depart, and heâll easily find out about his missing storage ring and which will cause a tremendous commotion.
âThatâs the thing actually, he would tell no one.â Ace smiled ambiguously, âWonât I tell you the person who extinguish the iron demon city was specific after me and from the royal zone?
âLivy might also know about it because of Henrikâs death, so what do you think heâll do when he found out the âHex Magic Userâ just struck his home and even give him an owl symbol?â
Noaâs eyes when wide, and she blurted, âHe 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!â
Ace nodded, âYes, thatâs why he would do anything to suppress the news, and thatâs where you come into play!â
Noa quickly understood why Ace was implying, and her heart was filled with elation.
âIt seemed Iâll be the reason for the ocean demon tribeâs demise after all!â Noaâs eyes turned icy.
Abruptly, a green pentagon coin appeared in Aceâs 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 Aceâs thief symbol and on the other side was his thief name (Sky Stealer) written in demon language with a minor note right below it, (âIâm Back!â).
Ace grinned, âHehe, you see how we donât need to worry about Livy hiding the news.â
Noa quickly clinched the Qi stone coin in excitement and nodded. âIf 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!â
âHold your horses, although you guess it right, we have to do it in the right way.â Aceâs expression turned serious. âSo hereâs the plan when Iâ¦â
Ace carefully elaborate his plan and Noa asked many questions, and he calmly answered. He knew he canât 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 canât 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 Fengâs 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, âGreeting His Highness.â
He frowned and said sternly, âDonât I tell you to not do this kind of stuff? If you have time to fool around, go and cultivate Fengâs cultivation manual, and the resources I provide you are enough for you to break into the soul realm.â
After those two sisters took that loyalty oath, Ace could do nothing but endure them.
In the end, he provided them with Fengâs 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 Fengâs storage ring since they were nothing to him.
This made those two sisters even more grateful to Ace, and they wanted to âserveâ him with âeverythingâ they had, but Ace sternly rejected them and chided them to behave.
However, it seemed those two sisters just donât want to give up on âservingâ him!
âHehe, letâs go sister, it seemed Lord is still shy.â Flora giggled in a teasing manner.
After they observed Ace wasnât 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 Aceâs 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.
Floraâs, and Dollyâs enchanting giggles, sounded from behind.
Ace active the soundproof array and set up his formation before he said calmly, âSystem released the EXP and SP!â
