Eternal Thief

Chapter 484 Final Mission!

… don’t go anywhere near that wall in the center or I’ll throw you out!”

Freya frowned and retorted, “Hmph, what kind of person do you think I am?”

“Still, don’t say I didn’t warn you, alright?” Ace squinted his eyes with a hint of coldness. He clearly wasn’t joking around.

“Fine.” Freya didn’t retort anymore and let him take her into the thief’s space without any resistance.

She appeared in a corner where storage rings were placed in piles. It was her second time coming here.

She couldn’t help but look around with great curiosity and she finally spotted the wall-like structure in the very center of this space.

‘Just what is he hiding there?’ Although she was curious, she didn’t dare to test his bottom line. So, she took out a comfortable chair and sat down.

Ace observed Freya and was speechless when he saw that big chair she pulled out which look more like a bed. He shook his head wryly and stop paying attention since she wasn’t going against his order.

He had already decided to head toward the mist domain to hide for the time being and also to see where the second ability of the Live Fate Map led him to.

He didn’t forget about the Golden Black Arrow shape Compass Point, which continues to indicate in the Mist Domain Direction.

According to Moira, it can indicate the best direction where he should go to find the fortunate opportunity that will be most suitable for him, or it might be a thing that he needed the most!

Freya’s main body will also meet him there so it was a plus.

Three hours later, the dawn was breaking and Ace was already miles away from the blade domain. So, he decided to rest and also see the rewards of his labor.

After making sure the area was safe, he finally opened the system interface with ecstasy.

Ace’s eyes widened slightly. ‘So, the mission was unlocked soon after the second mission was complete?’

He remembered the last time the second mission came a week later.

“Give me the reward first,” Ace ordered.

======

Ace’s eyes flashed when he saw the Random Pick Pocket Talisman’s use, “System, just to make things clear, is this Heavenly Talisman will only pickpocket a grade-8 treasure, not lower or higher?”

”[Yes.]”

Ace couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction. ‘So, I have to find someone with a grade-8 treasure, huh? Not to talk about Grade-8, even Grade-7 Treasures are extremely rare, which means whoever had a Grade-8 treasure will not take it out easily. But the moment I get the wind of it, hehe…’ he suddenly laughs thievishly.

He was very satisfied with this Heavenly Talisman, which will grant him a free grade-8 treasure.

‘Let’s see the mission. The last reward might need me to enter a deep cultivation state, which I don’t need right now. I’m still in the enemy’s territory,’ Ace mused.

“Opened the third chain mission!”

=====

Ace’s eyes were glued on the rewards and couldn’t help but asked hastily, “System, if I completed the two conditions and failed to compete in the last condition, I can keep the rewards for the first two conditions, right?”

”[Yes.]”

Ace couldn’t help but grin. “This is the first time you’re been so generous to give me rewards in portions before I complete the entire mission. Hey, where is this Royal Demon Institute, by the way?”

”[The host has to find it out himself.]”

Ace grimaced as his eyes flashed with a sharp glint. ‘I never heard of any Royal Demon Institute in the eight provinces. The system would also not give me these kinds of rewards, just rob a random place after I robbed the treasuries of treasure pagoda.’

Suddenly, he thought about the three Demon Institutes: ‘Could it be this Royal Demon Institute is in one of those institutes in the royal zone?! Then how did the system know? Well, it’ll be the least of my worries if this institute is really in the royal zone!’

Nevertheless, he still felt excited about the rewards he’ll get after completing the first condition. Infiltrating their ranks should be a piece of cake for him.

But he won’t underestimate the security level of this place if this place was really in the royal zone.

After resting for an hour, he embarked on his long journey again.

While Ace was heading toward the Mighty Mist Province,

The Inner Blade Domain was in turmoil after everyone find out about the theft of the entire treasure pagoda!

If High Elder Dark Hole and his companions hadn’t appeared in time, the situation would be far worse than this.

Furthermore, it was a tremendous blow to the reputation of the Life Demon Association and a slap on the face of the Royal Demon Council and the Royal Zone.

Not only the High Elder and Demon Kings were furious, the most furious out of them were the three masked demons from the royal zone. Especially the first demon who appeared before the female demon.

When he saw the words, ‘I’m Here, he couldn’t help but roar in frustration, and his previous injuries break open.

The most frustrating thing for them was they didn’t have time to deal with this issue because the corpse army and corpse king were still alive and if left alone for a long, there won’t be a blade domain anymore.

Furthermore, most of them were still missing, including the Blade, Mist, Blood, Moon, Spear, Exalted, and four high elders including White Sword while the Council Minster was trapped in his own skill so he could buy time until someone from the royal zone arrived.

So, they also had to search for them and unite the strongest force of the eight provinces and hold on until the help arrived.

But they still can’t let that thief get away after what he has done. It was a blunt provocation toward the authorities. So, they decided to use their full resources to capture that thief after they were done with the corpse army problem.

Inside a bright room, a masked demon was looking at the golden cube that was shimmering brightly.

A deep, imposing voice rang. “How is the situation?”

The demoness speaks in a gloomy tone, “Not good. Not only I didn’t secure the inheritance, but that hateful animal released a corpse army upon the land. Council Minister is currently holding their general it back, but it won’t last long…” She told everything that transpire in the ruin from the start to finish, “We need backup or this will not end well for the outer continent and might even threaten our position!”

“Even the council minister wasn’t enough?” The imposing voice sounded astonished, before it solemnly ordered, “I’ll send a Grand Demon Duke. It should solve the problem. Focus on tracking that beast. We need that inheritance, no matter what!”

The demoness replied in affirmation, “Alright.”

But her voice turned gloomy again, “But we have another problem that might make the Life Demon Family furious this time.”

“Oh? What is it? Who dare to provoke that hornet nest here?” that voice sounded amused and curious.

“It was that hateful Hex Demon Thief, he…” She told me about what happened to the life demon treasure pagoda a few hours ago.

“Hahahaha…” the voice suddenly laughed out loud in delight!
