Eternal Thief

Chapter 251 - Toward The Golden Hammered Kingdom!

While the hype of treasure mountain was reaching new heights, day by day, there was still no movement or reply came from the thief himself. 

However, after three weeks of this challenge, the Sky Stealer Society declared theyʼll be there to take the treasure mountain in their ʼLordʼsʼ stead since those three ʼLittle Giantsʼ were so generous to pay ʼtributeʼ to their lord, Sky Stealer! 

This caused another massive upheaval in whole middle-level lands, and those three organizationsʼ members instantly become enraged by this audacious announcement and cursed at those thieves and even challenged them to show their faces in public if they had guts. 

This small war of words in four organizations become a new source of entertainment for the public. 

Everyone was waiting for the reply of Sky Stealer, who seemed to be biased toward all this.

”Those imbeciles!” Ace cursed as he heard about the declaration of the Sky Stealer Society. 

When Ace heard about the announcement of three giants, he also considered this a trap and snorted disdainfully. He simply thought those three giants were either messing around or their brains go rotten since they even dare to set up this childish trap. 

However, things changed when the news about treasure mountain being real surfaced on the market. He didnʼt dare to believe it at first, but after he ruffled some feathers in the black market, he got the confirmation the treasures mountain was a real thing, and by the size of it; they were telling the truth when they say all the treasures of three giants were there! 

Aceʼs countenance finally changed and with a perplexing mood, he left the Blue Kingdom and start heading toward the Golden Hammered Kingdom. 

He wanted to see if the treasure mountain was real, and if it was, he didnʼt mind taking it since they dare to offer it. 

However, he was extremely displeased by the Sky Stealer Society butting in when it wasnʼt even concerned to them. He was confident in escaping if things go awry, but those idiots will die if they dare to step anywhere closer to that treasure mountain.   

Even though he didnʼt care about them, it would alert those people watching over that treasure mountain. 

Ace knew taking that treasure mountain would not be easy, and they probably set up some huge formation there, the moment someone tried the theft he would be instantly trapped, or even worse he might die. 

Ace was confident because he had the skills to see through these traps and formations, but others didnʼt. Even if those three giants were allowing others to visit the treasure mountain, they had the confidence to take care of the troublemaker.   

Furthermore, no one sane enough would dare to steal from that treasure mountain if they donʼt cherish their life because there were many deadly existences hidden there protecting it, just the Nightmare Ghosts Organizationʼs existence was enough to give people chills.   

”Theyʼre going toward their meaningless death!” Aceʼs eyes were cold and stop caring about those imbeciles anymore. 

”Golden Hammered Kingdom… Dulce, weʼll meet much sooner than I plan!” Ace suddenly emit an icy killing intent when he thought about his destination. 

He didnʼt forget about his blood feud with Dulce, he would never forget how that bitch destroyed his hometown and all those innocent people just for a storage ring. He vividly remembered everything. 

Before, he was planning on proceeding to the Golden Hammered Kingdom and destroying the royal family and ending the past grudge once and for all, and continuing his journey. 

However, it seemed someone was aware of his enmity with the Golden Hammered Kingdom and was trying to use it, so they could increase his chance of appearing there. 

Ace didnʼt care whoever it was as long as it wasnʼt a Bronze River Core cultivator, he was invincible in middle-level lands no one could stop him from leaving if he wants. 

Furthermore, from all those memories he probed from all those overseers of those cities, he knew about the disappearance of those Qi river core cultivators that went inside with him. 

Others might not know what it means, but he knew they were probably caught in heavenly punishment and perished there, just like he wanted. 

Thatʼs why he was going toward the golden hammered kingdom with no fear and thought of this as a desperate act to find those missing Qi river core cultivators. 

Even if there wasnʼt the case, he was determined to get that treasure mountain and complete this mission while passing, also destroying the Golden Royal Family.

Fifty days passed before the deadline of ninety days given by the three giants. 

In these fifty days, the sky stealer remained silent and didnʼt react to this big declaration. 

However, now the whole middle-level lands know the treasure mountain was real, and the organizations were dead serious about their declaration. 

Furthermore, in these fifty days, although sky stealer didnʼt react, the Sky Stealer Society was quite busy while thriving around alchemists and beast tamers. 

This was blunt retaliation after those alchemists and beast tamer started bad-mouthing the organization of thieves when they declared they will take that treasure mountain.     

However, those robbed alchemists and beast tamers also retaliate in their way. They attacked anyone who they found any kind of relationship with the Sky Stealer Organization, and they almost killed a thousand members at the price of thousands of innocent suspects. This caused outrage among the public, with increasing collateral damage. 

The sky stealer society didnʼt kill anyone, but those alchemists and beast tamers didnʼt care about innocent lives, which almost cause a revolt. 

It was only solved when those royals of each kingdom stopped those alchemists and beast tamer from slaughtering the innocent, and even higher-ups of two giants show extreme dissatisfaction toward this wanton behavior. 

In the end, the public was shut bribed, but everyone could tell the organization of thieves had won this round and even made the public see them in a more favorable and different light. 

However, all this has nothing to do with Ace, who after a long tireless journey just stepped into the Golden Hammered City also the capital of Golden Hammered Kingdom!
