Eternal Thief

Chapter 742 The True Identity (2)

The Grim Winged Serpent was now literally trembling as she gawked at Eva in utter disbelief and abhorrence.

Secretly, Eva was also surprised to see Aceʼs infamous thief symbol she heard about from Livia, on the Grim Winged Serpentʼs finger. This could only mean the Grim Winged Serpent was someone who had been robbed by Ace at some point. 

ʼSo, she really is someone I have theft from before. But it still not explained why she has another soul signature…ʼ Ace thought as he wasnʼt that surprised seeing the old thief symbol. 

But first thing first, Ace instantly took away her storage ring before he started the further investigation.

Ace was astonished when he saw the rewards he got from stealing the Grim Winged Serpentʼs storage ring, and it was the biggest tally of Thief Points he had ever stolen from pick-pocketing a storage ring. 

ʼJust who is this woman, and how can she be robbed by me if sheʼs this terrifying?ʼ Ace was completely clueless at this point. 

Just those treasures present in the storage ring were enough to give him a shock, but possessing those treasures also meant this womanʼs background was very noble and terrifying. So, he canʼt come in contact with her, not to mention robe her with all those treasures at her disposal. 

Furthermore, he canʼt use his soul probe on her as well; her soul defense was off the charts. 

At this moment, something unexpected happened when Ace removed the storage ring from the Grim Winged Serpentʼs finger. The old thief symbol on her finger vanished, and Aceʼs new thiefʼs symbol appeared on the back of her hand with his name! 

Eva and Livia instantly noticed it while the Grim Winged Serpentʼs mind was too occupied by the silly fact that she got caught by the same thief she wanted to catch herself. Not to mention she also found out how silly those thoughts of her capturing and torturing ʼherʼ were. 

So, now it matters little if she has a new or old thief symbol because the real deal is right in front of her. 

”Ask her how she knows me and when did I steal from her? I clearly didnʼt remember stealing from a magic beast such as herself. Or trust me; sheʼs very hard to forget.” Ace told Eva. 

”Hmph, do you mean sheʼs very pretty and hard to forget?” Evaʼs meaningful voice rang, which rendered Ace speechless. 

But she still did as Ace told her to, for she also wanted to know how this woman became a victim of Ace. But her reason for inquiring out about it was the story behind it, not anything else. 

She was always fascinated by the theft stories of her mother when she was young, so Aceʼs stories were equally fascinating to her, and she was very proud of them as well. 

”You seem to hate me a lot, yet here I am and have no idea who you are? I guess itʼs only natural when I steal from so many people that I stop remembering everyoneʼs faces or even caring about them. 

”However, you were able to appear in this place, so you are not just a nobody, and thatʼs what makes it even more interesting. So if you donʼt mind, can you tell me how you got robbed by me in the past? 

”You can choose not to answer, but I will find the answer, and you can count on that because Iʼm very persuasive.” Eva coldly inquired as her devilish aura started to emit from her faintly. 

Livia didnʼt dare to stay in her path, as she quickly returned to her position and observed the Grim Winged Serpent with relish. She also wanted to know how this terrifying magic beast ended up in such a sorry state. 

Furthermore, she was also curious about how and when Eva captured the Grim Winged Serpent since all this time Eva was in seclusion. Nonetheless, she had many conjectures about the Sky Stealerʼs mysterious crew. She didnʼt dare to ask unless Eva told her so at her own expense. 

The Grim Winged Serpent finally snapped out of the stupor, and she also noticed her storage ring had vanished and a new thief symbol like Livia had appeared. 

Although instantly, her snake eyes turned bloodshot as she opened her mouth and started laughing madly in her eerie voice like she had gone completely crazy.

Even with that terrifying aura weighing down on her, she still laughs without caring about anything else. 

”I think the small snake gone mad, Big Sis.” Cyrus innocently commented before his tiny eyes brightened as he thought upon a terrific idea, ”How about we ask the big snake to come out!” 

Eva flicked the dumb birdʼs small forehead gently as she said, ”Silly bird, both small and big snakes are the same person. You didnʼt seem to be learning properly while I was away, huh?” 

”T-thatʼs a lie, ask Livy. I was learning properly!” Cyrus quickly explained as he hid his small head under his small feathers while sneakily peaking through her wings at Eva with a clear guilty conscience in his tiny eyes. 

Livia was dumbfounded at how lightly Eva and Cyrus were taking the Grim Winged Serpentʼs mad laughter while she felt chills to her spine for some reason. 

At this moment, the Grim Winged Serpent stopped laughing while her eyes were affixed on Eva, who was nonchalantly looking at her as she said, ”If youʼre done with your clown act, shall we get down to business?” 

”I never imagined I, the Grim Ancestor, would fall under the hands of a newly born pup. How low have I fallen, how low… But no worries, no worries, itʼs not the first time Iʼm fell under this sort of condition, and it certainly wonʼt be the last time!” 

This time the Grim Winged Serpent has two types of different voices. One was the voice of a husky old man while the other was of a woman, and both voices were overlapping as if two people were talking at the same time.

However, it clearly wasnʼt the concern of anyone at this moment because the Grim Winged Serpent or the Grim Ancestorʼs snake eyes suddenly started to turn inky as if she was going to do something.

”Mistress, she about to do something!” Livia cried in alarm as she sensed a terrifying crisis all of a sudden. 

”Donʼt worry. Itʼs not a place where she can do anything but put up futile resistance.” Eva calmly replied as she wasnʼt even budging from her spot or Cyrus. 

Their reason being extremely simple, Ace has assured them nothing would happen in this place as long as he wonʼt wish it. 

”Eva Dear, it seemed this woman has some very deep secrets, and she wonʼt open her mouth just like this. So, how about I call in an expert who can make her open her mouth like a loose-mouth parrot?” Ace coldly suggested, as his entire focus was on the Grim Ancestor. 

If he felt anything amiss, he would throw her out instantly, but he hadnʼt, so he knew everything was under control. 

Furthermore, the name Grim Ancestor gave Ace a huge surprise because whoever has an Ancestor title with their name wasnʼt some random big shot in this world, but they were all people of the highest status and terrifying prowess. 

However, this made the situation even more confusing because he somehow robbed an Ancestor and didnʼt even know about it and just when did an Ancestor become so weak. 

Thatʼs why he stopped holding back and decided to call in Freya, who had already broken into the Soul Embryo Manifestation Realm a few days ago. Now she was consolidating her cultivation. 

The Evil Thief was at the pinnacle when it came to controlling other peopleʼs minds!
