Eternal Thief

Chapter 1385: Another Heaven’s Stealer?

Ace looked at Ravencrown without changing his expression and said, ”Alright, letʼs just assume Iʼm this Heavenʼs Stealer. What could you have had that made you so sure that Iʼll be willing to let you go after revealing to you who I am?”

Ravencrown knew she wasnʼt in a position to negotiate with Ace on the same footing because she was now Aceʼs prisoner, and he was planning to assimilate her and Eleanor into his own crew.

Furthermore, the fact that Ace could break the Law Contact was still fresh in her mind, and she knew that whatever method Ace used would be absolutely infallible.

After all, the Nightfall Ravenhood does the same thing with their members, and except for Raven and herself, no other Ravenhood member can reveal their core secrets because if they tried, they would be dead.

Moreover, Ravencrown also knew about a method that could easily bypass and break a Law Contract. Although it was costly, it exists nonetheless.

Lastly, Raven and Ravencrown have been searching for Ace because they were over 90% confident that he was Heavenʼs Stealer.

Ravencrown kept her calm as she knew this was her only chance to get out of here before Ace would impose some restriction on her.

”If youʼre not Heavenʼs Stealer, you have nothing to worry about. Furthermore, Iʼm willing to sign any contract or oath to keep your secret. Moreover, if you are really Heavenʼs Stealer, we donʼt even need to be at odds with each other, and the Nightfall Ravenhood would like to work together with you.

”You have already proven that you are more than qualified to work with us. Weʼve been activated in the Mortal Ascension Heaven for almost five millennia, way before you appeared.

”We have resources and information that you canʼt imagine. The Ancient Remnant of the Vindictive Ridged Valley was also our setup, and we have spies in all the top six King Sects of the Mortal Ascension Heaven!

”As long as youʼre willing to negotiate, we can work together and steal wealth and treasure far beyond your imagination.” Ravencrownʼs voice was enticing.

Alina spoke at this moment instead of Ace, and her voice was filled with derision, ”And what makes you think we canʼt do the same? In fact, what seemed to take you thousands of years to achieve, we mightʼve already achieved the same thing. Despite your ʼachievementsʼ, you were still captured by us, who only appeared a few years ago. Which makes you nothing but ʼordinaryʼ.”

Ace stayed silent. He didnʼt even need to speak at this moment since Alina had already made a point, and Eva and Zaria also agreed with Alina.

Ravencrown paled as she couldnʼt refute Alinaʼs words, and she was secretly shocked because Alinaʼs words also hinted at many things.

”Alright, cut the crap, and get to the point. You were saying something very important about Heavenʼs Stealer, yet I donʼt hear you conveying anything about it. It seemed you were still unwilling to reveal it. What a greedy little girl you are! But too bad for you, the Leader is not an ordinary thief, is he?” Zaria scoffed as she exposed Ravencrownʼs hidden agenda.

At this moment, Ravencrown realized that she knew nothing but Aceʼs crew, while Ace knew many things and didnʼt seem interested in learning more. It was almost like he wasnʼt worried about getting what he wanted, and this made Ravencrown apprehensive of Ace.

Ravencrown glared at Eleanor, and looking at her expression, she was extremely infuriated. She knew it was Eleanor who led Ace to them, and now she seemed like a listless wife who had found out that her husband had been cheating on her all this time.

Gnashing her teeth, Ravencrown decided to reveal the information she was unwilling to reveal to anyone, even the members of Nightfall Ravenhood.

”Alright, to show my sincerity, Iʼll tell you about a core secret of our Nightfall Ravenhood and how it was established.

”The Nightfall Ravenhood was founded by me and Raven after we both stumbled upon an ancient remnant hidden within a secret realm. As you shouldʼve all known, the Ancient Remnant are remnants of the ancient cultivators, civilizations, races, sects, and some even contained natural treasures. But itʼs too hard to find an intact Ancient Remnant.

”The Ancient Remnant we stumbled upon actually contained a legacy ground called the ʼRuin of Earth Pilferageʼ, and we walked the path of the Thief after getting the legacy from the Ruin of Earth Pilferage.

”However, this legacy is only from the first level of the Ruin of Earth Pilferage, and there are still two more levels. But we canʼt get into those levels because there is a prerequisite to being a ʼHeavenʼs Stealerʼ to access those levels!”

The House members were shocked by this revelation.

Aceʼs eyes shimmered with astonishment. He wasnʼt expecting a legacy related to Heavenʼs Stealer to be somewhere out there because he was under the impression that ʼsystemʼ was the only legacy of Heavenʼs Stealer and that it couldnʼt be divulged to others.

He was only thinking that the Nightfall Ravenhood mightʼve stumbled upon some treasures of Heavenʼs Stealer and superficial information, but the legacy was out of question.

”System, what is going on? Would there really be a Legacy of Heavenʼs Stealer out there? Was this Earth Pilferage a Thief Name of another Heavenʼs Stealer?” Ace directly sought the Systemʼs validation because this was too hard for him to accept.

”[The legacy of Heavenʼs Stealer is with Host. Please donʼt overthink things. You should also consider the possibility of ʼself-creationʼ. Like Host has created your own skills and techniques upon the foundation of Heavenʼs Stealer legacy, the others can do the same.]”

Realization dawned on Ace as it instantly struck him, and he felt relief, ʼSo, what the Nightfall Ravenhood got is skills like Pick-Pocket Reverse and Inverse, Enteral Thief Sword Style, or Sword Cores, but not the cultivation techniques and system skills and techniques.

ʼNonetheless, I canʼt overlook the fact of finding another Heaven Stealerʼs legacy, which might contain his own personal insights. Itʼs a scarce opportunity, and since this Earth Pilferage can also put this kind of restriction, he might be a Heavenʼs Stealer.

ʼFurthermore, the Amber Fate Point might also be indicating this exact legacy…ʼ

Ace looked at Ravencrown deeply before he spoke, ”Since thatʼs the case, explain another thing to me. How could you be so sure that Iʼm Heavenʼs Stealer?”
