Eternal Thief

Chapter 1260: Investigation & Disruption! (1)

Outside Georgeʼs courtyard, Vincent with Grand Elder Edwin and Inez, Forger Masters, the Flame Masters, and even the Enforcer Hall Vice-Masters were there!

However, despite their high statuses, they didnʼt dare bluntly intrude in the courtyard since they all knew George was in seclusion. They mightnʼt have been so restrained if they hadnʼt seen what happened to Bert.

But now that they have witnessed the Guardian Spiritʼs attitude towards George and the overbearing might, they naturally canʼt do anything excessive unless they find something against George.

However, they had already checked the formations and found that Georgeʼs place had always been sealed. With the Chief Hall Courtyard monitoring formation, they didnʼt find any movement from Georgeʼs courtyard. This also means that George had never left his courtyard since he had confronted those chief disciples.

After all, they all knew that if some kind of strange movement had taken place, the Guardian Spirit would be the first one to alert them. Since everyone knew that the Guardian Spirit could never harm the sect, they naturally took its words seriously.

Vincent sighed with relief when he confirmed that George was still present in the sect; he hadnʼt committed that heist, and, most importantly, he wasnʼt the Sky Stealer!

As long as George wasnʼt the thief in question, Vincent would support George, especially now that the Norberg clanʼs authority had been temporarily voided and the Grand Elder on their side wasnʼt present.

Although Sky Stealer had put a huge target on the AIG Sect, he also had done Vincent a huge favor by robbing the bank branch in the Norberg clan territory, and now they canʼt fight back no matter what.

Furthermore, if the bank insisted on blaming them, Vincent had already decided what he needed to do. Since they were all ruthless, he couldnʼt be lenient with them as well.

”Mischievous disciple, come out! You have guests!” Vincent amiably called, his voice imbued with Qi. He had a faint smirk on his face, as he could clearly sense Georgeʼs presence in there.

Furthermore, a hint of surprise flashed past his eyes when he noticed a subtle change in Georgeʼs presence, and his eyes narrowed ever so slightly.

Thereupon, the courtyard door opened, and George, in his disciple robes, appeared in front of everyone. He was startled when he saw all those people, which was a natural reaction.

Grand Elder Edwin and Inez were the most curious about this George, who seemed to have earned Guardian Spiritʼs favor. In a sense, this wasnʼt good news for them at all, but they couldnʼt do anything to him without any solid proof.

At this moment, Vincent finally discovers why he feels a change in Georgeʼs presence and is shocked.

”This brat is now Ascension Warrior!? Howʼs that possible? Itʼs only been a few months since heʼs been cultivating here, and he was clearly a 1-star ascension soldier... Furthermore, now that heʼs an ascension warrior, why couldnʼt I sense that strange law aura on him? Just what kind of prime law is he comprehending?ʼ

Vincent was extremely curious. Although he had never probed Georgeʼs secret, since he looked down on such things after all, everyoneʼs fortune and misfortune depend on fate, and he disdained those who scheme against others with fortune because of envy and didnʼt have the guts to go out there to fight for it.

But still, he could tell Georgeʼs fortune was extraordinary. Not only did he have that mysterious human bloodline, but he also had a disguise treasure that even he couldnʼt see through. Lastly, he had his thievish ability and the symbol that connected him with the newly rising thief, Sky Stealer.

Before the bank heist, Vincent never paid any attention to Georgeʼs thievish abilities, but now, he doesnʼt dare look down on a thief, especially one who can rob the bank clean under so many Ascension Guardiansʼ watch!

At this moment, George finally greeted Vincent, ”Greeting, Esteemed Teacher! If you had told me you wanted to see me, I couldʼve come to you. You donʼt need to trouble yourself!”

His tone was respectful and filled with worship like a disciple should have towards his teacher.

Vincent was also pleased with Georgeʼs humble attitude, and the title ʼteacherʼ seemed quite pleasing to his ears. However, at this moment, his expression changed slightly.

With a cold snort, he released his spiritual pressure and shielded George as he looked at everyone and impassively said, ”Everyone, please do me a favor and donʼt use your law senses on George. He has just broken into the Ascension Warrior realm and condensed his law sense, so if you all use your law senses on him, it might cause him to suffer backlash and even sustain some hidden injury!”

”Wait...what?!”

”How did he cross an entire realm in little four months!?”

Everyone who knew about George clamored as they looked at George with shock and disbelief. Grand Elder Edwin and Inez finally realized why they were all making such a fuss and became astounded as they looked at George with peculiar glances.

Although they didnʼt use their law sense anymore, they could really feel the Ascension Warrior realmʼs presence in George and the surrounding undulations caused by the new

breakthrough.

As for Ace, he wanted to give Vincent a thumbs-up since he was also quite apprehensive about these guys using their law senses on him, especially these two newcomers who were giving him dangerous vibes like Vincent.

But he never expected Vincent to cover him with his cultivation base, which Ace actually showed because he wanted to show Georgeʼs talent and make him even more important in

Vincentʼs eyes.

However, he surely wasnʼt expecting these two Ascension Guardians. From their robes, he could tell they werenʼt from the bank but from the sect, and it didnʼt take Ace long to guess their noble identities.

Vincent also noticed George looking towards the two grand elders and quickly introduced them with a smile, ”What arenʼt you paying your respects to Grand Elders?”

Georgeʼs face changed greatly, and he quickly showed panic before he bowed his head and respectfully said with utmost sincerity, ”Forgive my ignorance and disrespect, Esteemed Grand Elders. Iʼve been rude. Please punish me as you see fit!”

ʼWhat a mischievous boy!ʼ Vincent snickered secretly as he knew what kind of personality George had.

But Grand Elder Edwin and Inez didnʼt, so they were very pleased with Georgeʼs manner and nodded in approval.

Grand Elder Edwin laughed joyously and said with a friendly smile, ”Good, Sect Master indeed, have chosen an extraordinary disciple.

”Youngster George, you donʼt need to be so polite. We are not here to disturb you, and since you just broke through, I know you need some time to consolidate your cultivation base. Here, take this Upper Grade-3 Calming Spirit Pill. Itʼll greatly help you consolidate your realm in the quickest time. Consider this my meeting gift.”

The next moment, a palm-sized brocade box appeared in Grand Elder Edwinʼs hand, and he immediately sent it to George.

Ace didnʼt seem excited at all. In fact, he held disdain for this so-called gift. After all, this was an ascension guardian, and he knew there was no way he would be so poor. Still, he pretended to be over the moon and quickly thanked Grand Elder Edwin.

The old woman, Grand Elder Inez, couldnʼt lose face, so she also took out a jade pendant,

which was very beneficial for the cultivator of Ascension Warrior Realm, and generously gave it to George, which he also received with great enthusiasm, making the old woman pleased

with herself.

The others just silently watched without any word of interference. Now, the other disciples also started to gather around the courtyard once they saw so many people. When they realized the identities of these people, they quickly informed the top disciples.

At this moment, Grand Elder Edwin finally got to the point. He took out the recorder bead and solemnly stated, ”Youngster George, I want you to take a look at this and then answer me

truthfully!”
