Eternal Thief

Chapter 765 The Gullible Feather! (1)

Ace was pleasantly surprised by the systemʼs revelation and quickly questioned, ”Does this any existing exit also include the exit that the three allied races have been using to enter this place as well?” 

”[As long as there is an exit point, Host can leave from it. It is unclear how many exit points actually are. Host needed to get the realm space core before this fact is revealed to you.]”

Aceʼs eyes shimmered with elation since he never expected that the thing he was worried about all this time would be solved just like that by the system.

However, he didnʼt choose this option right away; instead, he looked at the golden feather, which seemed to be becoming impatient since Cyrus still hadnʼt released it yet. 

A thievish glint flashed past his eyes before a crook smile appeared on his face, ”Umm, senior, itʼs not like I donʼt want to let you go, but as you can see, my companion here is extremely reluctant, and heʼs not very good in the head either. Heʼs thinking of you as food, and if I donʼt give him a replacement such as yourself, then Iʼm afraid heʼll not listen to me at all.” 

”Are you thinking me for a fool? This little fellow is your own Life Companion, and if he didnʼt listen to you, then who will?!” The golden feather instantly retorted in a heavy tone. 

Ace was startled when he heard this new term, ”What is a life companion?” 

”Sigh… why are you playing ignorant? Just tell me what you want. As long as it is not excessive or goes against the rules of the Sun and Moon God, you can have it. Since you were able to pass the entire Sun Secret Realm and even put me in such a position, you are qualified to take anything in the place. 

”Although this was supposed to be a privilege granted to the Chosen One, you met the requirement nevertheless. So, I understand you are being greedy after seeing all the splendor of the Sun Secret Realm, young man. But let me warn you; greed is beneath the Chosen One. You needed to develop your character more, or the Sun and Moon God would not be pleased!” The feather sighed like an old man and chided Ace sternly. 

This only made Ace speechless as he looked at the feather, who seemed to be still oblivious to the fact that there was no escaping his impending fate of being devoured by Cyrus. 

Furthermore, now it was offering all the treasure present in the realm, which meant it could clearly tell Aceʼs true intentions, but it was still acting like the one in full control. 

Nevertheless, Ace didnʼt mind as long as this feather was cooperative, heck, he even appreciated it since it would make his work even easier, and he would be on his merry way. 

”Ahem, there is really nothing that I can hide from Senior. But Iʼm not being greedy here at all. I still needed resources to grow and become the Chosen One. Since the mighty God left this generous bounty, I will use it to pave my way toward the top even faster. 

”Besides, even Senior said that Iʼm fully qualified to be the Chosen One, so I donʼt think there is any need to waste those resources left behind by God on others when they can be used on doing the thing God has required from us.  I think you should take a look at

”So, I want to take away everything above Grade-6 with me and quickly cultivate my way toward becoming the Chosen One. I still have the Moon Secret Realm to challenge, and I donʼt think the guardian there will be as generous as you, Senior!” Ace solemnly stated as he acted extremely respectfully, yet at the same time helplessly as if he had no choice but to do this, and it pained him very much. 

The feather suddenly trembled slightly after hearing Aceʼs grand speech, and if it had a face, it wouldʼve looked extremely moved. 

”I never thought this way. You are right; the Sun and Moon God left these rewards to nurture the Chosen One of the Mortal Sky. Since there is finally someone quailed to be one, it will be disrespectful not to uplift Godʼs will. 

”Very well, you have convinced me, youngster! Iʼll wrap everything up for you, and Iʼm going with you to be your Protector!” The feather declared with an extremely passionate tone.

Ace wore a strange expression under his mask as he looked at the feather, ʼItʼs so easy to gullible? And why would I need its protection when it canʼt even protect itself from Cyrus.ʼ 

Despite his actual thoughts, it would be a lie to say that he didnʼt want to take the feather since it was clearly a peak treasure. But the problem was, he didnʼt want to take food from a childʼs mouth, especially when he had worked so hard. 

So, he gave up the idea of making Cyrus give up on eating that feather, but it wonʼt tell this to the feather. 

”Iʼm flattered senior, and honored. So, letʼs go and collect all the things quickly, and Iʼll make this little fellow release you by giving him something else.” Ace stated with a crook smile.

”Iʼm not giving!” Cyrus finally couldnʼt take it anymore and cried in protest. 

”Why are you crying for? Canʼt you tell Iʼm just ticking him to get what I want? Youʼll get even more treasures this way. But if you eat it, youʼll only get the feather. Always think about the long terms benefits first!” Ace helplessly explained to Cyrus as the little guy couldnʼt even take a hint. 

Cyrusʼs eyes went wide before ecstasy filled them, ”Oh, Big Bro shouldʼve told me sooner!” 

Ace rolled his eyes as he was simply too lazy to have corrected the little guy who only knew how to either eat or burn. 

The golden feather, oblivious to their conversation, spoke, ”Why would we need to go? I can just collect them right here and now!”
