Eternal Thief

503 Thieves on Mission!

Inside a stony room,

Three caped figures were sitting around a stone table where a map was placed.

One of them said in her euphonious voice, "As we predicted, the security is only half, and all the leaders have gone to the life demon auction. According to my minions, the Magistrate Estate only had four soul realm elders and twenty river core realm guards. It shouldn't be a problem to complete this task."

A childish voice retorted, "Although it's easy now, we still don't know if we can steal 5 million house points worth of goods from there anymore. Don't forget, because of that auction. They might have taken every Qi stone with them for bidding."

"Faceless is right. We might not complete the mission." An icy voice sounded in agreement.

These three were none other than three thieves of the Thief House.

From the moment, Ace made them become bandits to raise Freya and Winter's ranks. These three had founded the bandit gang name 'Moon Robbers', and for months they had been antagonizing the merchants and adventurers in the Demon Tamer Province.

They had even earned a notorious reputation for themselves.

Just as Ace predicted, no one paid any attention to a small bandit group and take them seriously until it was too late.

Those authorities only started to send powerful knights after them when these three stole a caravan of goods from a magistrate clan's firm.

But they failed to find these Moon Robbers because they had already achieved their aimed and gone into hiding.

Since the Life Demon Auction was coming, those authorities had no choice but to set this matter aside and focus on the event.

Now that the most powerful demons were attending the life demon auction, this also gave the thief house members a chance to complete their mission.

It was a perfect time to strike while they could and then leave.

Ace had already discussed this mission with them countless times, and their entry and escape plans were flawless.

However, it seemed they had missed the part about the half-empty treasury because of the life demon auction this time.

Freya mildly said, "This is indeed a problem, but we can't just sit here, right? Although they might've taken most of their wealth with them, they would never take the precious things passed down from generation to generation, right?"

She had thought about this problem as well, but it was too late to discuss it with Ace since he had left for the auction to do other things. He had no part in this, and they were on their own.

Suddenly, Freya took out a shimmering communication cube.

"It's the leader?" Noa coldly asked with a hint of anticipation.

Freya nodded and activated the cube and placed it on the table.

Ace's jolly voice sounded, "So, ladies, how are things going on your end?"

Winter's glumly retorted, "You still have the cheek to ask? We have a treasure problem here!"

"What kind of problem?" Ace's voice turned stern.

He knew this mission was very important for the thief house members and this was the only easy chance they would get to complete the mission. If they didn't take this chance, it won't be this easy next time.

All the old monsters were attending the auction, and he provided everything he could to break past the formations and arrays, so this heist could work smoothly. He didn't want to hear this.

"What Faceless mean is, probably all the Qi stones and valuables are taken to the auction by the clans. We might not be able to achieve the target of 5 million without those treasures and the Q stones." Freya explained.

"Is that your problem, really?" Ace sounded amused.

"What do you mean?" Winter's voice turned cold. 'Is he wanted us to die?!'

Ace sighed and said, "Since one treasury isn't enough, just theft the entire damn city. Not all of them were eligible for this auction, right? There are thousands of shops in the market. Just start from there and you might not even need to enter the magister mansion.

"Are the Ghost Lurking Formation and Demonic Sword Killing Formation. I don't think these two grade-5 formations aren't enough, right?"

"Didn't we supposed to steal five million from a single place?" Noa asked in astonishment.

However, Freya answered instead of Ace with gleaming eyes, "No, we assumed we were supposed to theft one place. Besides, it also depends on what we consider 'One Place'. Like, we can assume this room as one place, or we can assume the entire mountain as one place. We just have to theft five million together at the same time, not separately!"

Ace chuckled, "See, it was just a question of your teamwork. You were never given a specific target or required amount to collect. It's a house mission, not an individual mission.

"Now that this is out of the way. I contact you to tell you the auction would last for ten days and the demon gate trail will start soon after. So, you guys have seven days to complete your mission and reached the rendezvous point.

"More than seven, and we'll all be in danger. Is that clear?" His voice was strict.

"Don't worry. Seven days are more than enough to complete this mission. You just have to take care of your end." Noa assured.

"Heh, don't worry. They can't catch me." Ace chuckled confidently and cut the communication.

"Hmph, he's too arrogant." Winter snorted.

Freya chuckled. "He's the Sky Stealer, after all. Now that our conflict has been clear when we should move?"

"Tomorrow night. Let's end this in one fell swoop." Noa coldly replied.

"Good. The sooner it ends, the sooner I can buy other techniques and start cultivating them." Winter nodded with great excitement.

"We'll do as sister Assassin suggests." Freya also agreed, with a hint of anticipation.

Inside the personal chamber of a life master on the 19th VIP level,

Ace put away the communication cube before he closed the concealing formation. He didn't want anyone to hear his conversation with his house members.

He couldn't help but smile wryly. 'I'm glad I contacted them or they had figured it out too late.'

He looked in the mirror projection at this moment. Lilly was back!

Lilly flashed a radiant smile as she spoke, "I hope everyone is really for the next round. It'll be going to be even more exciting.

"Without further ado, let me present you with the first item of the second day. Behold!"

The platform rose and everyone was eager to see what was the item.

Soon, an old yellow scroll appeared.

Lilly introduced, "This is an Upper Earth Grade skill called Hell Stinger Fists. I don't need to tell anyone just how precious an upper-earth grade skill is. This fist skill had three levels and at the final level, one can poke a hole in grade-2 treasures with their fists!

"The starting price is 100,000 high-grade-2 Qi stones. The bid is open!"

The entire arena boiled when they heard the introduction. Just the skill rank was enough to make them bid for this technique, much less its prowess.

The bid instantly raised to five million, and it was still climbing as some VVIPs were also joining the bid.

In the end, a VVIP bought it for 5.4 million and everyone sighed in regret.

Lilly didn't delay and quickly revealed a blue book this time.

She introduced, "This is an Upper Earth Soul Skill, Grim Hands. According to the description, the Grim Hands can abruptly attack the enemy's mind and inflict grave soul wounds if the user catches the enemy off guard. This skill had five levels and at the last level, one can manifest Grim Hands with soul Qi!

"The price of this precious soul skill is 250,000 high grade-2 Qi stones. The bid is opened!"

The VIP levels started to bid madly. Even half of the VVIP rooms got involved because this was a soul skill that was extremely hard to get.

The bid reached ten million within a few moments and was still rising. Even the VIPs haven't given up.

When the bid reached over fifteen million, the VIP stands gave up because those VVIPs are not showing any signs of giving up.

"I have to get this skill," Thomas mumbled in his room with a grim expression and raise the bid to twenty million!

Inside room no.542, Darren sneered when he saw Thomas's room on the screen.

"This skill is interesting." He directly raised the bid to thirty million!

"That hateful prick!" Thomas gritted his teeth and raised the bid to forty million!

Darren scoffed and raised the bid to forty-five million. He was determined to get this skill, even if Thomas wasn't bidding against him.

However, another bid surface made everyone gasp.

Lilly announced with a hint of ecstasy, "Room No.6 has just bid a hundred million Qi stones. Let's start the counting!"

No one dared to even think of bidding anymore because they knew a Demon King just get involved!
