Eternal Thief

Absolute silence enthralled the courtyard, and one could even hear the sound of heavy breathing from the five chief forger disciples. Flynn’s aura was gloomy, and the nerves on his temple twitched like crazy when he thought about what George had just said to him.

Although George had reprimanded the disciples, he was clearly insulting him in a roundabout manner, even calling him a simpleton who fell for other tricks because of his ‘simple mindset’.

But the thing was, he couldn’t refute any of it at this moment because the only thing that made them confident about dealing with George turned out to be a huge farce, and now the tables have turned on them.

If he still insisted on condemning George despite all the proof, he knew those people from Weston Clan would be involved. After all, as long as George had proof of his innocence, Flynn would lose any time, and the most hateful thing was that he was the one who had proved his innocence while making a laughingstock out of himself!

But what Flynn or anyone who was observing failed to notice was that when Flynn’s emotions were in disarray, and everyone’s attention was on the hovering disciples’ badges and the five disciples, the storage ring on Flynn’s finger vanished for a moment before reappearing again. It was so fast and sleek that Flynn didn’t even feel it, and Ace secretly smirked!

“E-Elder… there is clearly a mistake!” A female disciple named Ciara in the group was almost on the verge of crying as she tried to explain, and she looked at George with a venomous look in her eyes as if she wanted to flay his skin and eat him alive.

George instantly pulled a frightening expression, quickly hid behind Flynn, and cried in indignation, “L-look! Look, Lord Elder, she’s still not admitting anything despite all these proofs, and she’s even threatening me in front of you! I’m afraid she’ll beat me!”

“Y-YOU… when…!” Ciara almost spat blood when she saw George’s acting, and she wanted to beat the hell out of this crafty bastard.

But before she could finish her word, the spiritual pressure on her increased, and Flynn’s icy cold voice rang, “Silence!”

Flynn was secretly gritting his teeth as he looked at five of them, who had made a fool out of him in front of everyone. Now, he had lost all face. He knew he was going to suffer this time because this humiliation wasn’t just his alone but for the entire Law Enforcement Hall.

Then he glanced at George and looking at his innocent yet frightening expression, he suddenly had the urge to slap him, but he couldn’t.

He suppressed his fury and looked at the five disciples; his anger surged, and he spat, “Go to punishment hall and receive your punishment for slandering your fellow disciple and lying to the Enforcer Hall!”

“Lord Elder is wise!” George quickly cheered.

Flynn almost fell on the ground, but he could only grit his teeth and quickly left this place before he further made a clown of himself, vanishing without any trace. The disciple badges fell on in front of the ashen chief disciples.

Although the spiritual pressure had vanished, they were still deadly pale. They knew this was far from over, and once they went to the enforcer hall, Flynn would deal with them.

They don’t know how it turned out like this, what went wrong, or how those storage rings appeared on them when they went missing.

At this moment, George suddenly sighed ruefully and said with a hint of pity, “Seniors, I know you don’t like me, but this is still too much. After all, we are all fellow sect members and should look after each other like family. If you have any problem with me, there is no need to lie to elders. Come here, and we can have a hearty chat over a cup of tea. I’m sure we can all reach mutual understanding, live in harmony, and make the sect great together!”

“Harmony your head!” Harper-Rose cursed out loud as his aura flared; clearing wanted to attack George.

But George was gone, and before they could find him, they heard a frightened voice say, “So much violence is not good for your health, everyone. Now, if you all excuse me, I’ll still have to cultivate!”

They quickly looked around and saw George running into his courtyard as the barrier was activated; the disciples’ expressions were even more colorful.

Hudson couldn’t help but sigh in defeat. His angry yet bitter expression lessened as he picked up his storage ring and disciple badge. “At least we got our treasures back.”

Some colors returned to the victims as they quickly picked up their storage rings. Although they had brought calamity on themselves, with George completely reversing the situation with his mystical means, they at least got their treasures back.

But at this moment, Hudson’s expression changed when he looked inside the storage ring, and he lost all his calm as he cursed out loud, “Motherf*cker, it’s empty!”

Ace, who had cunningly avoided the punishment and escaped inside the safety of his courtyard, couldn’t help but sigh in relief before a cold smile appeared on his face. ‘You guys are still too green if you want to punish me based on some proof. Even if I hadn’t used the Thief’s Charity, with those badges in my thief’s space, that formation would’ve never been able to detect them

on me.

‘But I ought to teach them a lesson and ‘clear’ my name so they think twice before moving against me while they will also suspect the entire event. After all, as long as they don’t confirm it was me, they would still think it was someone else. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

‘But I know those cunning old fossils would still suspect me since it all started after I appeared here. However, they could do nothing about it and could only fume in silence. Nonetheless, now that they knew I have some mystical means to freely steal and return their treasures, they will be on guard next time they made a move and some of them might even want to rob me of my abilities…..However, I won’t make it easy. In fact, I got quite a haul out of this situation!’

Ace grinned thievishly as he looked at the notification in front of him.

[Absolute Pickpocket (Sleight of Hand) has been successfully activated!]

{Host Steals}

…

[Reward(s): 10,110,000 Thief Points]

(AN: The final rewards will always include the effect from Ace’s Thief Title: Symbolic Thief (1000 Extra

TP on each theft) & Disastrous Pick Pocketer (1% Extra TP on every theft).)

[Thievery Rank(s): High-Level Thievery(s): 1/500]

[High Level Thievery = 10,000,000 Thief Points]

[Thief Point(s): 18,640,900]

This was the pickpocket result he got after he successfully pickpocketed Flynn’s storage, and he only did it because the reward was over 10 million TP.

This way, he could control the spot where the Thief Symbol would appear on Flynn’s body, and he made sure it would appear in a place that Flynn wouldn’t even dare to discuss, much less reveal. However, he had to find it himself first!

Although it was still a pity that he had to return his ring, it was enough he got over ten million TP, and his Ascension Soldier Realm reached 96%, which was only 91% before. This means that this high level of thievery increased his cultivation by 5% in one go!

That’s why Ace was happy and secretly sneered at Flynn, who was ‘generous’ enough to

provide him with both TP and cultivation. This was also his strategy for stealing from the elders, who gave him at least high-level thieves so he could make sure the thief symbol wouldn’t appear somewhere that everyone could see.

Ace was happily about to go to his cultivation chamber to continue where he left off when his expression changed upon turning around.

At this moment, a handsome man adorned in scholarly white robes was sitting on a chair in

the main hall, looking at him with an ambiguous smile.

“S-sect Master!”
