Eternal Thief
chapter-150

Ryan slightly nodded at those guards and enter the capital city.

Ace knew just where that old voice came from. They were those two hidden experts of the empty river realm!

But since he can fool that mirror and those two old geezers, he felt relief wash over him. He was little nevus first but not anymore.

Ace walks inside the city and was greeted by an astonishing sight.

The streets were made of exquisite marble and every building was made with precious material and craftmanship. It was as if he has entered a completely new world.

'If this common district is so exaggerated, then what about those two reigns where the noble and royal family live.' Ace wondered as he keeps walking while observing the city?

Although it was nighttime, the streets were completely lit with light stones polls, and bustling with activities..

They were many shops and stalls selling unique items.

Ace couldn't help but observe the items curiously.

In his way, Ace's eyes were suddenly glued to a portrait that was hanging outside a cloth shop and his eyes contracted.

Ace moves toward the shop to see the portrait more clearly.

After Ace reached the clothing shop, he closely looked at the portrait. There were two pictures, one was an average-looking youth while the other was of an extremely handsome and cut boy.

His expression turns grim seeing Javier's and his old portrait from Low-Land and reading about the huge bounty placed on his head.

'It seems that lady and old alchemist found out I'm still alive and tell everything to pill flame organization. That also explains the tight security. I had to be more careful and alter some of my plans.' Ace gravely thought.

He instantly guesses what could've happened when he was in wildness for three months and decided to lie low for some time.

After this sudden discovery, Ace wasn't in the mood to stroll and found an inn and rest for the night before going to the registration venue in the morning.

On his way to finding an inn, Ace suddenly spotted the signature golden building of the Jade Pavilion.

'Let's enjoy some jade wine before resting.' Ace's mood lightened slightly and move toward that building.

"Sir, mortals are not allowed here."

When Ace was close, he heard a sweet voice and saw a beautiful lady blocking two boys' paths with a gentle smile on her face. She was an early Qi foundation stage cultivator!

One boy was a third Qi gate cultivator, while the other was a mortal.

"He's with me." The boy with cultivation said stiffly.

"It doesn't matter sir, mortals are not allowed, period." The lady said with a smile.

"B-brother let's go somewhere else." The little mortal boy timidly said.

"Humph, let's go." The other youth wasn't willing, but what could he do? He takes his younger brother and left in a rage.

Ace observed this scene from the sideline and his eyes turn cold.

Because Ace sense some mortals sitting on the higher floors and knew this lady didn't let that mortal boy in because of his common clothes. They were clearly from some poor background and here for the test, while the little one seemed to accompany his elder brother.

'Heh, it seemed I didn't need to be polite with the restaurants anymore.' An icy glint flash through his eyes.

"Sir, welcome to Jade Pavilion. Please go to the second floor." That lady said with a smile. She spotted Ryan observing the quarrel long ago but didn't care.

Ryan nodded with a smile as he nonchalantly entered the Jade pavilion before going to the second floor.

After enjoying the bottle of Jade Wine, Ace left with a cheerful expression on his face.

That day, something strange happened in the Jade Pavilion because all of their famous Jade Wine completely disappeared!

The management was shocked and didn't know the reason for it, someone stole it. But no one suspects the famous Sky Stealer because he won't leave with just wine if it was him.

In everyone's eyes, that lunatic wasn't afraid of anyone and steal everything. It doesn't matter who you are or what you are. That was why this wine thief was inspired by that fellow.

'Hehe, these one thousand wine barrels should last for a while.' Ace ecstatically saw one thousand white jade barrels in his thief's space and grin.

Jade pavilion only had an alarming array protecting their unground storage where these wine barrels were and no one noticed him stealing them.

As for suspecting him, he didn't care because no one would take an interest in some wine thief.

Ace finally finds an inn and rents the biggest room for four months with forty low Qi stones.

This price was too much for any commoners coming here, but for Ace, it was nothing.

Because after he stole Olivia's storage ring, his wealth can now rival an empire!

Ace still had many sealed storage rings. He didn't want to waste TP on them since it wasn't worth it. He was planning on holding them before he found some other method to remove Qi marks.

Ace was standing before the window in his room, he was watching the illuminate streets of Regal Capital as he mumbles with a faint smile, "What a lively place, perfect for a thief."

The Grand Regal Palace of Regal Kingdom can be seen from the royal district, and only the royal family lived in this grand palace.

At this moment inside the lavishing meeting hall of Regal Palace. A ten-meter-long golden jade table with beautiful carving was set in the center of the grand hall with matching chairs around it.

But the head chair differed greatly from the other. It was very extinguishing, as a symbol of the winged wolf was engraved on it that looked very vivid. This was the seat of Regal King!

A handsome man with long black hair was sitting on this seat at this moment. He wore plain robes. But the surrounding air was as if he was unreachable and aloof.

On his left row of chairs only sat a woman with an extraordinary white face and slender figure. She wore an exquisite pink dress.

On his right, ten people were sitting, three of them were women and seven were men.

Everyone wore a solemn expression in the right row, and the person sitting on the head chair had a pensive face.

"Esteemed Envoy, how was your journey. I'm truly honored to have a person like you grace my kingdom with your presence." The slim, handsome man in the very fount row speaks with a fawning smile on his face.

Shockingly, this slim man was the Regal King, Kale Val Regal! He wasn't sitting in his actual place! One can only imagine by this the statues of that envoy.

"It was fine. It's just that the Qi here is very thin, I feel like suffocating." The woman scoff before the man could say anything.

Regal King's expression change slightly as he spoke with a wry smile, "I apologized Lady Envoy, but my kingdom is just a third-grade kingdom. The Qi here is indeed very thin compared to where you come from."

The woman was going to spout something again with an unsatisfied face, but the man on the head chair gave her a sharp glare and she swallowed whatever she was going to say with a hint of fear in her eyes.

"Do you find anything about that thief?" The man spoke nonchalantly.

Regal King frowned, hearing this, and his face darken a bit. 'It's all that bastard's fault to appear in my kingdom.'

"No, we never heard of him after he stole from Lady Rune Crafter last time. But the Pill Flame and Beast Calling people are scattered throughout every city of the kingdom and every city is armed with Disguise Shatter Mirrors. If that petty thief dared to appear again, he'll regret it." King Kale ensured with a wry smile.

"No, he will appear in this capital." The man coolly said in his hoarse voice with apparent confidence in it.

Everyone's eyes contracted to hear this sudden news.

King Kale's expression turn ugly as he asked, "How can Lord Envoy be so certain?"

"It's very simple. He's a thief through and through, and what a thief is interested in?" The man deeply looked at the Regal King as he questioned him.

"Wealth or anything that he took a fancy of." King Kale made a vague guess.

"No, he's probably is the richest person in the middle-lands at this moment after he stole from an azure alchemist and a 2nd Rank Mortal Rune Crafter. He even knows how to open storage rings, so you tell me what he wants?" The man revealed another shocking news as he asked the question.

"He can what?!" King Kale's face was full of shock and everyone on the right side of the table.

"Heh, you heard right, he can open storage rings without killing someone." The man chuckles coldly.
