Eternal Thief

Chapter 1254: Seeing Through Rose-colored Glasses!

”WHICH VILE ANIMAL DARE TO MOVE AGAINST MY PRIME HEAVENLY BANK!?!”

A wizened old man with a bald head hollered like an angry beast as he stared at the locked door with a hint of panic and disbelief. This was the Vault Guard of this branch of Prime Heavenly Bank and also the most powerful expert present here, even more powerful than the Vault Guard.

Furthermore, only this branchʼs Vault Warden and Bank Manager knew about his existence and were qualified to meet with him.

Vault Guardians of the bank branches had only one job: protecting the bank treasury, even if it cost them their lives. If the enemy was too strong, they were ordered to use a special formation to send the bank vault into the chaotic space current so the bank could retrieve it by special means. But they absolutely canʼt let anyone have their treasury!

But the thing was, Ace had pickpocketed the Vault Guardianʼs storage ring, and he just realized it when he tried to open this door with his alternative key, and the ring was missing. The Vault Guardian was so shocked that he even forgot what had just happened. His old face paled with fright because that ring didnʼt just contain alternative keys and the particular item to protect the treasury but also his life savings that he had been accumulating for thousands of years so he could have a chance to break through the seventh realm and join the headquarters while leaving this barren place!

However, now, not only had his wealth been stolen without him realizing it, but he was also expelled from the treasury vaultʼs outer layer by a mysterious force that he wasnʼt able to resist!

Although he didnʼt know which kind of peerless existence had made a move against the branch, he knew for sure that if that person managed to rob the bank treasury, he would be in huge trouble!

When he was in a daze, a powerful sonic boom rang, and a towering figure appeared while the strong winds rose.

”What happened? Why are you here, Senior Vault Guardian?” The Vault Warden was

bewildered when he saw the bald Vault Guardʼs complexion change from pale to blue, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He was meditating when he heard the Vault Guardianʼs roar, and he instantly hurried here since he knew something had incurred the wrath of this old senior who was usually aloof and didnʼt give even him any face.

Now that he saw the Vault Guardian personally, a very bad feeling rose in his heart. What shocked him even more was when the Vault Guardian raised his face towards him. His eyes shrunk because an inky tattoo covered the Vault Guardianʼs forehead.

It was an owl that seemed to be spreading its wings gloriously and exceptionally vividly. Whatʼs more, on the wings of the inky owl were characters, and when the Vault Warden read them, he was flabbergasted.

On the life wing, ʼSky Stealerʼ was written, while on the right wing, ʼYour treasures are in good hands; thank you for your patronage!ʼ

The Vault Guardian was about to seek the Vault Wardenʼs help when he instantly noticed the strange way the Warden was looking at his bald head. It was as if something was on it.

But he didnʼt have time to investigate it as he quickly shouted, ”Someone had used a mysterious spell to expel him from the hall, and that vile animal even stole my ring! That cunning, vile thing shouldʼve known that I couldnʼt open this door without the alternative key! But I can still feel my spiritual mark on the ring so that vile animal hasnʼt opened, which means the treasury door is still closed!

”We need to open this door and capture that vile animal quickly, or this entire branch will suffer if something happens to the treasury! We can still salvage this as long as the treasury is safe!”

The Vault Warden finally snapped out of his thoughts, and his eyes widened when he heard the crux of the matter. His reaction wasnʼt any different from that of the Vault Guardian! ”How could you let that happen!?” The Vault Warden questioned with disbelief and raging fury.

The Vault Guardianʼs expression was ugly, as he had expected it; even the Vault Warden was blaming him.

”You can blame me all you want, but we must take down this door! And where the hell is the bank manager!?” The Vault Guardian grimly questioned as he still didnʼt find the Bank Manager despite he had caused such a commotion.

After all, even though the Bank Manager was weaker than them, he was still a 1-Star Ascension Guardian, so he should be here like the Vault Warden by now.

Vault Wardenʼs expression changed as he replied, ”Something huge happened in the market tonight, and the Bank Manager went to investigate.”

The Vault Guardianʼs expression changed as his eyes widened, ”Is this a coincidence?” ”Whatever it is, letʼs attack together! But itʼll be extremely difficult to destroy this door. Not only is it made of quasi-spirit metal, but an ascension grade-7 master lock terminal is also installed in it. Even if an Ascension Lord were to attack it, itʼll take hours before they can break it!” The Vault Wardenʼs voice was filled with bitterness and panic.

This only made the Vault Guardian even angrier, and they couldnʼt help but curse, ”This vile animal really does us dirty! But since we canʼt break in without the key in a short time, that fellow would be in the same situation, and my spiritual mark wouldnʼt be removed so easily. Now we are racing against time, and whoever opens it first will win!”

The Vault Warden grimly nodded before both of them started to send blasts of spirit Qi and use all kinds of killing moves on the locked. The sounds of explosion startled everyone, and the entire structure of the bank trembled.

After an hour, the explosive sounds became more violent, as if someone else had joined in. The people of the city were finally attracted, especially those high-ups who were already not far away and still furiously trying to track down the thief who had raided all those shops.

People thought that the bank was under attack, but at the same time, they also found it unbelievable since no one had the guts to attack the bank.

Although it was just a branch, its security could put even a second-grade sect to shame. Everyone knew that the bank greatly emphasized security and the hidden experts protecting it were terrifying.

But no matter what people guessed, the violet tremor and explosions continued until dawn, when people heard the sound of heavy metal blasting apart, and the bankʼs outer structure was already filled with countless cracks.

However, no one dared enter it because those Qi ripples were extremely deadly, and the cityʼs top figures were deadly pale because they could tell whoever was attacking was extremely

fearsome.

But just as the silence prevailed in the area, a few minutes later, a heart-wrenching, blood- curdling roar filled with disbelief, anger, and terror reverberated throughout half of the city. ”WHO THE FUCK IS SKY STEALER!???? I WILL TEAR YOU INTO PIECES!”
