Eternal Thief
chapter-1056

Ace was gobsmacked by the descriptions of the new thief's hour functions, and his eyes flashed with envy, 'Shit, if only I could also enter the thief's house, this theft stimulation virtual room would've made a huge difference.'

He sighed ruefully and finally looked within the thief's space to see the changes, and he was astounded because the changes were simply too big this time.

Just like the thief's house separated space over the dark clouds, the living thief's space was now also separated completely, and the dark space was now a vibrant, lush green filled with clear white sky!

The non-living thief's space was now at the lowest level, right below the living thief's space, keeping its original dark state. All the treasures that weren't living things were there.

To simplify, the thief's space was divided into three levels: the first level was dark space for nonliving beings, the second level was the living thief's space that had converted into a field like a world outside, and the third level was where the thief's house was located!

Eva also came out and looked at the huge changes with astonished expression. She thought she had come out of the thief's space now, and if not for the houses in the middle of this lush field, she might've really believed it.

Furthermore, the house members within the thief's house were also startled because they received the notification that the new house functions were being activated.

The staircase within the thief's house was now no longer ethereal and could actually be used to enter the mysterious second floor. The [Thief Training Rooms] and [Theft Stimulation Virtual Room] were on this floor!

"This is really a huge surprise, especially this time acceleration function…" Freya muttered, her charming eyes filled with ecstasy and a hint of awe.

"With this theft stimulation virtual room, I will be able to improve skills that I didn't understand before quickly." Winter was equally excited as she quickly made her way towards the second floor.

Although Noa didn't say anything, the ecstasy in her eyes was evident that she was equally excited, especially when she gazed at the door of the Thief Training Room, fighting intent shimmering in her pitch-black eyes!

"It seemed I didn't need to explain these new features to you guys. You can do as you please then; I'll have other matters to tend to." Ace's voice rang with a hint of envy as he could only observe them.

It was very depressing to possess a treasure mountain but didn't have the ability to use any of it. He could only sigh and cuss the system for being unreasonable.

Then he shifted his focus to the living thief's space again, and at this moment, he saw Riana coming out, still in her dark robes.

Riana's heart skipped a beat as she was bewildered when she saw Eva's breathtaking appearance, and even she felt far inferior in front of this otherworldly beauty.

"Where am I, and who are you?!" Riana asked Eva with trepidation, and her heart was filled with anxiety because she couldn't use her cultivation or any kind of skill; she was completely suppressed.

Furthermore, she had only regained her consciousness, and she only remembered being with Ace before her mind went blank. Now, she was in this mysterious place with this devilish woman who was giving her nothing but a feeling of dread.

"Oh, you're finally awake." Eva finally averted her eyes from the new thief's space and looked at her with a cold smile, which gave Riana shivers.

"Who are you? Where is Sky Stealer?" Riana asked again, but her tone was slightly timed.

"It seemed you don't remember anything?" Eva was slightly surprised, but then her smile grew.

"Well, it doesn't matter anymore. You'll be severing me from now on, so you better behave," She declared in an overbearing tone while releasing just a wisp of her aura.

Riana trembled as she suddenly felt the same feeling she felt from the Holy Mother, if not stronger.

"S-serve you?!" She was in disbelief, and despair gripped her heart.

At this moment, Ace's voice rang, "You don't need to be hostile to us; if anything, you should be thanking me for saving you…" He then explained what had transpired before.

Riana was first startled when she heard Ace's voice coming from the sky before she became deadly pale after hearing about how she attacked him. She was filled with disbelief and fear.

She didn't want to believe it, but for some reason, in this place, she felt like her mind was clear and no longer suppressed, so she had no choice but to believe him.

"Tsk, why do you need to explain it to her? Don't tell me you have grown fond of her?" Through telepathy, Eva's sharply questioned with a faint smile filled with dangerous intent.

"It's not like that. She won't cooperate with you if she doesn't know the truth, and after this, I don't think she'll trust anyone anymore, so to win her over to our side, we need to show her some goodwill.

"Besides, I think whatever the Holy Mother had done to her is not useful in this place anymore. So, I'm going to deliver you someone very special that could not only help you earn Riana's trust, but I want you to try getting information out of him." Ace replied.

"Oh?" Eva was surprised and anticipated as she quickly agreed.

Riana's thoughts were still in shambles when a giant wearing imperial robes appeared in front of her, seemingly unconscious. When she saw the giant's face, her eyes went wide in disbelief, and she even forgot about her predicament for a moment.

"Mortal Emperor Antonio!" She blurted out in shock before hatred and killing intent shone in her eyes.

"Indeed, I just captured him. You can take it as showing our sincerity. As long as you followed my Wife in front of you, you'll be far more powerful and could achieve far greater things in the future.

"It's far better than falling into Holy Mother's devious schemes. I'm pretty sure she won't let you go easily since she has invested so much in you. So, you can decide on your own." Ace coldly replies before he leaves the rest to Eva.

"Wife?" A Realization dawned on her as she finally understood who this devilish woman was, and she found Ace even more unfathomable.

Furthermore, she can't deny anything that Ace just expressed; she knows the Holy Mother has ulterior motives now, and she won't have a good ending if she blindingly ascends to higher heaven.

In fact, Ace didn't hide his intentions from the start, and his power was unfathomable. It was just his wife who was giving her the feeling that she had from Holy Mother. So, she finally felt a little moved.

Eva was very pleased when Ace clarified things, and she smiled and said, "So, are you going to follow me?"

Taking a deep breath, Riana asked, "What is this place, and who are you people, really?"

Eva replied nonchalantly, and her words left Riana speechless for a very long time as if she were dreaming: "Hehe, we are thieves!"
