Eternal Thief

Chapter 711 The Identity Thief

After spending half a day on the secret floor, Ace left with a gloomy look in his eyes as he was still thinking about that absurd announcement that literally put him in the spotlight. 

Now probably all the Union knew his face, and with his current status, he knew it was nothing but trouble. Although no one dared to bother or offend him anymore, he now became the most precious object in everyoneʼs eyes. 

Now, everyone will do anything to rope in the future Union Leader, especially those in the private sectors. 

Even if Ace didnʼt mind any of this but what he concerns about was now he couldnʼt move around freely since everyone would be watching him like hawks. 

ʼI was planning to raise my cultivation for three months, but now that I see those books down there, the Chosen One is mentioned multiple times in many records, so I canʼt ignore it anymore. 

ʼIf, by any chance cultivating the Yin Yang Mortal Sword Manual can put really make me the Chosen One and give me some advantage during my mission, then I need to get those manuals in two domains. 

ʼSo, instead of cultivating and putting up a show, I should start absorbing all the knowledge about the sword techniques present in this place first and create replications of them so no one could tell the difference. 

ʼI also have to copy the Sun Chasing Sword Art so I can get that secret technique out of my Master. I can only hope those two sword cores wonʼt disappoint me.ʼ He thought with a grim expression. 

ʼBut first, I need to deal with the mess about my identity. Iʼm pretty sure the moment people know Iʼm here, they will come in mass to befriend me or try some other method to make sure I have a good impression of them…ʼ His eyes went sharp, ʼI should just deal with them as a Junior Union Leader should.ʼ 

Ace exited the secret floor from the hidden door and saw that no one was there. He was glad and planned to move toward the skill section. He was going to absorb the knowledge of the sword-related skills here so he could act flawlessly.

However, the moment Ace excited that remote corner, he was greeted by multiple pairs of eyes, which were all the people present in the library before. 

If they minded their own business before now, they were no longer concentrated; instead, all of them were holding their union token in their hands and had this astonished look in their eyes because a projection was opened with a handsome youth portrait in it.

”Isnʼt that the same person in the picture?” Someone couldnʼt help but exclaim. 

The other eyes widened as they looked between the real deal and the portrait. 

”J-Junior Union Leader! So, heʼs here!” A demoness exclaimed with twinkling eyes. 

Almost all the people were now looking at White with different emotions in their eyes, but one thing common about their looks was that they were filled with envy and extreme jealousy!

Ace knew it was unavoidable, so he could only brace himself for what was to come and act like he usually did. It was just another normal thing for him. 

However, right at this moment, the systemʼs unexpected notification buzzed, and a panel opened in front of him.

======

[Congratulation, Host, you unlocked a new Thief Title!]

--

[Thief Title: Identity Thief (Initial)]

-Identity Thief (Initial): Theft or Forge a Unique Identity that had never appeared in the Mortal Sky Heaven before and make Everyone (Cultivators from 1st Realm to 8th Realm) recognize (Believe) that identity! 

-Title Effect: When Heaven Stealer is using theft or forge identity 10% extra cloaking effect will add on Cloaking Skills, Cloaking Treasures, and Cloaking Runes! 

======

Ace was stunned by this sudden gain of this new Thief Title, and when he read the condition to activate this title, he couldnʼt help but take a deep breath of cold air. 

ʼSo, I made Cultivators from 1st Realm to 8th Realm believe that Iʼm the new Junior Union Master? Then the 8th realm cultivation has to be the Union Leader!ʼ Ace felt his blood run cold when his conjecture about the Union Leaderʼs cultivation was spot on.

ʼI was indeed lucky that he took an interest in me, or I wonʼt be able to evade him if he wanted to harm me…ʼ Ace sighed as he felt even more relief that he was able to come out of it unharmed and even earn this thief title which seemed quite difficult to earn. 

When he read the details about the title effect, his eyes shone with ecstasy as the 10% increase was quite high, and the activation condition was quite simple as he just needed to be in disguise to enjoy that 10% increase in cloaking. 

”System, do my Stealth and Unseen Thief fall in the category of Cloaking Skills?” He quickly asked. 

”[Yes.]” 

Ace almost laughed out loud as this meant his heartless stealth became even more powerful, and he even had a new stealth art in his shop, so he would definitely gain huge from this title. 

Not to mention the unseen thief ability of his mask was already peerless under mortal sky heaven. If he added ten percent more and his mask itself was a cloaking treasure, so he didnʼt dare to imagine what kind of cloaking ability it now had. 

Now he even felt it was all worth it!

But his gloating was broken by a heavy voice.

”Greeting Junior Union Leader!” 

Ace closed the interface and looked ahead and saw a devil with a noble-like demeanor blocking his way with a polite smile on his face. 

Instead of greeting him back, Whiteʼs dismissively said with a cold tone, ”Get the hell out of my way before my mood is ruined.” 

The devil, with a polite smile, was instantly flabbergasted by this rude response, and so did other people who were cursing the devil for being the first one to approach the Junior Union Leader. 

However, now they were gloating at his misfortune. But still, they didnʼt think the Junior Union Leader would be this overbearing, and he didnʼt seem to care about his public image at all. 

The devilʼs smile was quite stiff, but he didnʼt dare to show any anger. He didnʼt want to get out of the way either and wanted to say something more, ”I…”

”I said fuck off.” White cut him short as his eyes turned icy, ”The voice in the library, I donʼt want to get distrust during my training. Is there any way to make it happen or at least make this trash go away?” 

Ace now decided to act like an arrogant prick who only had one goal, cultivation, and he will make White appear as a cultivation maniac who doesnʼt care about anyone except cultivation. 

The devil was even more shocked and paled even as he stepped back. He didnʼt think that this Junior Union Leader, who seemed to be a hunter, had this kind of temperament. 

He belonged to a High Union Elder lineage and wanted to get close to this seemingly simple Junior Union Leader, but he had misjudged one thing, the other party didnʼt give a damn about his background or him!

The voice replied at this moment which sent chills down everyoneʼs spine, ”Lord Junior Union Leader, you can call me Union Guardian. 

”As to answer your question, yes, it can be done, you can use your authority to close off the entire library for one month once a year in any domain, and no one will be able to disturb you except your Master.” 

Ace was astonished as he was only trying to scare the guy away or hoping to get some minor privacy, like some private room, but he was not expecting this kind of authority. 

ʼI think I know why the system deemed this identity as unique under heaven…ʼ Aceʼs lips curled up, and so did Whiteʼs, as he commanded. 

”Then I shall use this authority. Please help me with it, Senior Union Guardian!”
