Eternal Thief

'It's time to upgrade the thief's space again!'

Ace has been planning for this upgrade for a while now and collecting all the grade-5 storage rings needed.

But a grade-5 storage ring wasn't made in the outer provinces, and he only came in contact with them when he robbed Archie of his identity.

However, even then, he only got just 3. Even after requesting specifically for these rings from Harvey, he only got 56 because they were all in stock then.

Harvey could even take that many outs was all because of his status, or no matter what, this many grade-5 storage rings were almost impossible to acquire unless you're a student of a Royal Demon Institute, of course.

So, Ace wasn't too worried about not getting the remaining rings in here, and as he thought, the institute had them. This also proves the fact that their treasury won't be easily theft.

Furthermore, he wanted more humanoid spaces, so this upgrade was just what he needed, and he quickly ordered the system to open the upgrade scheme of the living thief's space.

Thereby, a panel appeared in front of Ace,

[Living Thief's Space Update Scheme]

1. 500 Cubic-Meter Space + 2 Humanoid Storage Capacity

Condition(s): 100 Grade-5 Storage Space treasures + 20 Million Thief Points

2. 1,000 Cubic-Meter Space + 5 Humanoid Storage Capacity

Condition(s): 100 Grade-8 Storage Space treasures + 50 Million Thief Points

3. 3X-Time Acceleration Function

Condition(s): 1 Grade-9 Storage Space Treasure + 1 Grade-9 Time Treasure + 100 Million Thief Points

[The conditions for the 500 Cubic-Meter Space + 2 Humanoid Storage Capacity update scheme have been met!]

[Do you want to update the Living Thief's Space?]

[Proceed/Not Now]

Ace proceeded without hesitation, and the next moment, all the grade-5 storage rings turned into ashes.

The thief's space started to expand slowly, which startled little Cyrus, who had been sleeping on Page 09 from the day he found it. Now it had become its nest.

It looked around with its tiny head in confusion before it went back to sleep since there wasn't any intruder or danger, as if nothing had happened.

But this expansion wasn't just happening to the living thief's space.

Inside the thief's house space, the personal spaces of the three house thieves also started to expand, startling all the members.

Ace was also astounded when he noticed this, 'So, the thief's house space size is directly connected with the size of my living thief's space,' He mused.

The expansion soon stopped with a system notification.

[Living Thief's Space has been updated!]

[Living Thief's Space States]

-Storage Space Capacity: 500 Cubic-Meter Living Space

-Living Space Capacity:

1. 4 Humanoids (Humans, Demons, Hunters, etc.)

2. 50,000 None-Humanoid (Beasts, Herbs, Plants, Natural Treasures, etc.)

Ace nodded in satisfaction before closing the panel.

However, his action of expansion made the house members gather in the main hall.

Noa was still wearing the mask, but she was entirely exempt from any kind of aura, and her body was covered entirely in exquisite tight crystal black tight body armor with dark blue ruin outlines, showing her hourglass figure. It was the Grade-8 Thief Assassin Armor Set!

Her current status was,

Freya looked even more bewitching than two years ago, and she was also wearing the Grade-8 Evil Thief Armor Set, which had a dark blue mantle on her shoulders. But the most significant change in Freya was her golden tri-pupils were no longer three but somehow turned into one, and she looked just like an ordinary human except for her otherworldly beauty.

Compared to two years ago, these three were completely different, and they had all bought the treasures and techniques in their corresponding thief shops and were busy mastering them.

But the space expansion startled them, and they came out to inquire about what happened.

"Did your space expand as well?" Freya inquired with a faint smile on her crimson-red lips.

"Yes." Noa plainly replied in her indifferent tone.

"It's probably that scoundrel doing. Where is he?" Winter spoke annoyingly in her crisp tone, which was no longer childish.

"Do you have a problem with more space?" Ace's exasperated voice rang at this moment. He was happy to see all three of them in their priceless treasures but also envious since he was still stuck with low-grade items and cussed the system inwardly.

He could clearly see their statuses as well, and he knew more than anyone just how much they had progressed in these two to three years!
