Eternal Thief

Chapter 911  Bad Appels Need Punishment!

Looking at the thief symbol, Margret expression warped, and the look in her eyes turned appalled as she knew what that thief farewell note meant too well!

”Sk-Sky Stealer!?! But how!” She shrilled in horas voice. Aceʼs coldly scoffed, ”Heh, you asked something everyone wants to know ʼHOWʼ indeed. And just like everyone else, you are not qualified to know. Now, letʼs cut the bullshit. Since you want to live, answer some of my questions, and youʼll be just fine. But if you donʼt, Iʼll leave it to your imagination.” Margret was greatly shaken as she felt it was all just a nightmare, but sadly, it wasnʼt because her cultivation had been entirely suppressed. The bird over her head was releasing a strange aura, robbing her of the ability even to flinch. Then she suddenly looked at flabbergasted Lillian and quickly blurted, ”You there! Now I remember, you are Alinaʼs maid, right? Where is she, and what is this place?” Lillian was startled and didnʼt know how to reply. She never imagined that the strongest existence of her race would turn into a prisoner, and she looked pretty pathetic. ”Really? Do you think this will work?” Ace couldnʼt help but disdainfully sneered, ”If you ignore me one more time, Iʼll consider it youʼre choosing the latter option.” Margret eyes released killing intent as she knew this wasnʼt going to work, so she changed her strategy, ”Kill me if you dare! Hahahaha… so what if you capture me? Youʼre still just a lusty kid who doesnʼt know how high the sky is! Since youʼre still keeping me alive, I gathered Alina is alive. But let me tell you this: if you kill me, Alina will also die!” Ace was startled by Margretʼs sudden declaration, and he could feel she wasnʼt lying in the face. She was filled with confidence. Still, he didnʼt show any sign of being intimidated and coldly said, ”Alright, since youʼre so confident, Iʼll find out soon enough myself. In the meanwhile, youʼll be my little companionʼs maid, his plaything.”

At this moment, Ace transmitted his voice to Cyrus and commanded, ”Cyrus, sheʼs yours, and I want you to make her obedient and punish her if she tries anything funny. But donʼt kill her. She is an asset, but she is an enemy nonetheless. Sheʼs not allowed to touch anything or go anywhere near our stuff. Likewise, sheʼll live in the black box. ”But if she breaks these rules, then as her master, youʼll be held responsible, and Iʼll let your big sister punish you and force you back to study. However, if you do well, then you donʼt need to study until I deal with her!”

Cyrusʼs eyes shone with excitement, ”Really? You promise?” ”Yeah, I promise. Iʼll explain it to your big sister so she wonʼt bother you. Furthermore, Lillian is not allowed to approach her more than 10 meters. Make sure of that. This is your first mission, so be responsible and prove that youʼre not a child anymore.” Ace sternly stated. Although the Blood Ancestor was a cunning old witch, he still let Cyrus handle her because he wanted the little guy to experience what it meant to restrain someone like Margret. Cyrus was always lived under his protection and adored by everyone around him. But he was still too naïve, and he had to grow eventually. So, making him deal with Margret was the best option. Even if he suffers some setbacks, it wonʼt cause any harm because he was in the thiefʼs space and would learn from them. As for Margret, Ace had already guessed that she wouldnʼt open her mouth and she might use Alina to threaten him, and she did. So, he was now putting his hope in the soul probe once he broke into the next realm. In the meanwhile, he wanted to humiliate Margret enough that she wished she was dead, and it was revenge for Alina. As for Lillian, she wasnʼt trouble, but he didnʼt want her to be used by Margret. After all, she was the ancestor of her race, so he made sure to keep her away from Margret. Margret was startled by Aceʼs venomous words and fumed in humiliation as she roared, ”Yo-you dare!? Donʼt you care about her!? Do you want her to die, you hypocrite man!” ”Tsk, tsk, Blood Ancestor, we both know everyone with power is a hypocrite, and you no longer need to worry about Alina. I donʼt think you have any control over her anymore. So, enjoy your stay while you can. I have Demon Ancestor to deal with as well.” Ace menacingly declared before he stopped talking. ”You vile man! Show yourself if you have guts!” Margret shilled, but Ace no longer entertained her. At this moment, Cyrus finally spoke in a severe tone, ”Alright, maid, now be good, or Iʼll get mad, and when I get mad, Iʼm very fierce!” Margret retorted angrily, ”Shut up! You just a lowly bird!” ”YOU…you bad apple! Big Sister Eva said bad apples must be punished, and only then can they be turned into good apples, just like Cyrus!” Cyrus jumped in anger, and the next moment, blue flames suddenly surged out from the little birdʼs body and enveloped Margret entirely like a human torch. Margretʼs angry expression turned appalled when she felt that strange fire that wasnʼt just burning her body but her soul, ”Ahhhhh…” Her harrowing screams rang in the entire thiefʼs space, and just like that, her torture began. ”W-wait, Cyrus, what are you doing!” Lillian was appalled as she exclaimed. Even she felt horrified by those blue flames and intense heat overcoming her very soul despite not being targeted by them. ”Stop, Lilliani! If you come closer than ten meters, youʼll also be a bad apple, and then youʼll be punished and have to study!” Cyrusʼs serious voice sounded before he seemed to be staggered and asked sheepishly, ”Um, how much is ten meters exactly?” Lillian was instantly speechless and wanted to correct him when he called her ʼLillianiʼ like usual. He just refused to correct her name, but she didnʼt have the will to because those flames made it very difficult to approach him. Ace, who was watching this, clicked his tongue, ʼCould it be that Cyrusʼs race couldnʼt learn at all and only knows how to burn things? Well, at least heʼs controlling his flames to ensure he wonʼt kill her.ʼ Ace sighed ruefully, finally turning serious, ʼShould I get rid of the demon ancestor first to avoid the trouble of dealing with him afterward? If he successfully breakthrough it would be a problem. ʼWell, I might as well get it done. I got over 400 million TP from Blood Ancestor, and this Qi pool is free EXP and SP. But itʼs a waste since I have Qi stones and Soul crystals, so I should gather it for another time…ʼ Making his decision, he flew towards the Demon Mountain!
