Eternal Thief

In the black market of the Northern Guardian Sect City, Sea of Secrets’ branch, Freya wearing a faceless mask and her evil thief’s robes, showcasing her curvaceous figure to perfection, while her head covered under a hood were standing in a luxurious hall.

Four womanly figures were sitting in front of Freya. Their faces were enshrouded in an ethereal haze like a mystery, and they gave one a feeling of the unknown.

But Freya didn’t seem to be bothered by them at all, as her eyes were dismissive and cold. She knew the chance she had been waiting for had arrived. Ace had done his part splendidly, even performing way above her expectations, and now it was her turn.

“Who are you really?” An emotionless voice rang from one of the four figures, and a monstrous spiritual pressure released and locked on Freya.

However, Freya remained unbothered and replied coldly, “How about we stop playing this game, my ladies? I know you’ve already investigated my background, and I’m pretty sure you found nothing. Trust me; you won’t find it even if you look all over Mortal Ascension Heaven because I’m nobody worthy of background.

“I’ll cut to the chase; you should already know about the capabilities and connections I’ve made in the black market in these few months. But truth be told, I’m not interested in playing in the children’s field, so I want to join your esteemed organization. I know I have the

capability to shine here and showcase my true potential.

“The Spirit Inferno Domain is too small for… All-Knowing Parrot!” Freya declared with boundless confidence and conviction, without any fear of the four existences in front of her. Freya had already guessed who they were; they should be the four Controllers of the four branches of the Sea of Secrets in the Spirit Inferno Domain or the Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect’s territory.

With her information-gathering ability, she knew that there were three ranks in the Sea of Secrets branches: the Collectors, who were in charge of collecting secrets in the branch’s territory and wore white masks; the Carrier, who carried the secrets and sold them to the Sea of Secrets ‘guests,’ and they wore crimson masks.

Finally, the Controllers were the leaders of the branch and controlled all the secrets of that branch, including high-grade secrets that only they were privy to. They wore blue masks.

Most importantly, the Sea of Secrets seemed to only have women in its ranks, and many people believed the entire organization was made up of women.

However, there was no proof since no one had ever been able to find their headquarters or any core information about them, and those ‘guests’ kept their identities a secret since, once exposed, they all mysteriously vanished.

No one knows how to join them, yet Freya still wants to try it because they have the most powerful information network and many secrets unknown to many.

Hearing Freya’s arrogant statement, the four figures became silent, but the spiritual pressure on Freya didn’t vanish, in fact it increased as if the owner of this spiritual pressure didn’t like Freya’s tone.

But Freya was still standing without flinching. Although she was weak in front of them, their pressures and imposing manners couldn’t compare to Ace at all.

Even Ace didn’t know that he had this mystical aura, which held a strange awe to the house members. That aura also seemed to make the house members fearless of the others. They remained unhinged unless the other party directly attacked them; their auras or spiritual pressure seemed useless.

“You are courageous…” A charming voice rang at this moment, “But if you think you can muddle your way into the Sea of Secrets, you are terribly wrong. Although we admit your connection to this thief, Sky Stealer, compelled us to gather here and meet you, it is not enough if you want to join us. Not only that, but we know who Sky Stealer is…”

“Hahahaha…” Freya suddenly burst into laughter as if she heard something ridiculous, cutting off that woman in her speech.

“You’re probably talking about George Edward, the Core Disciple and the new personal disciple of the Sect Master of the AIG Sect, right?” Freya’s voice was filled with derision, “How about I revealed another secret to you? Are you interested?”

This time, no one spoke as if they were absorbing Freya’s words; they seemed to be talking with each other through spirit transmission. Although Freya was as weak as an ant in front of them, for some reason, they had this strange feeling that Freya wasn’t as simple as she looked.

She was simply too confident in front of them as if they were no danger to her, which made them all hesitant. Lastly, they were really interested in Sky Stealer, and just as Freya revealed, they were convinced that George was the Sky Stealer since a few months back, he had shown his thievish abilities, and the same owl symbol appeared on his victims’ bodies.

They had all thoroughly investigated this incident and found more such victims. Even the Vault Guardian had become a laughingstock because he had received the Sky Stealer symbol. Lastly, what made them doubt George’s identity again was that it was during the theft. George was still in seclusion in the AIG Sect, and he hadn’t left since he joined the sect, which was even confirmed through their collectors.

Most importantly, they were gathered here because they wanted to get in contact with Sky Stealer. This order came directly from the headquarters, which was shocking on its own. That’s why they brought Freya here since she already had information about Sky Stealer’s movements.

They were almost convinced that Freya and Sky Stealer were in a cohort, so they wanted to capture her and set up a meeting with Sky Stealer.

But now, after meeting with Freya, they knew it wasn’t as simple as they thought it was, and they started to hesitate, which is precisely what Freya wanted.

“If you can let us meet the Sky Stealer, we’ll consider letting you join in.” Another Controller

finally spoke.

“Tsk, they took the bait…’ Freya’s lips curled up behind her mask, “I think you guys are mistaking something here. I got to know about Sky Stealer’s movements because Sky Stealer let me know about them since Sky Stealer owes me a small favor.

“Tsk, tsk, you guys really knew nothing about Sky Stealer. Whatever you know about the Sky Stealer, it is only because Sky Stealer wants you to know that exact thing. Only Sky Stealer knows who Sky Stealer is, and what Sky Stealer will do next is also known to the Sky Stealer.

“But I have something that should be enough to let you further ruin the Bank’s reputation. It’s a small gift from Sky Stealer, and I’m willing to exchange it as long as you give me a chance to join the Sea of Secrets.

“Who knows, in the future, the Sky Stealer might need my help, and I can swear that I’ll directly bring him in once it happens. If you guys are still not convinced, I’ll be taking my leave and bringing this ‘gift’ to the black market elder. I’m sure he’ll appreciate it very

much!”

Freya’s voice was filled with boundless confidence as she didn’t hide her intention to go to the Sea of Secrets rival, the Black Market. She didn’t seem afraid or agitated about their reactions or if she didn’t fear their retaliation.

Now, the only question remains whether the Sea of Secrets will call Freya’s bluff or not, and it all depends on how much they favor the Sky Stealer!
