Eternal Thief
chapter-928

Royal Demon Nation, the Grand Duchy of Poison Wood Grand Demon Duke Clan, was famous for its poisonous cultivators and was one of the most feared tribes of the Demon Race.

No one dared to mess with them, but it was in the past before the world encountered the monster named Sky Stealer. Nowadays, peace can only be regained by iron fist; the order of the imperial demon domain has been significantly weakened, and the Grand Demons Dukes were resisting the imperial family in their territories.

It all started with the rebellion of the Eldest Demon Prince, which didn't last long, and Princess Leona crushed him in a month. But the damage was already done, and now the high-ranking demons were less loyal than before.

But the strangest thing was, the imperil demon domain was silent and let them do as they pleased, and now the royal demon nation has become a divided battlefield between the Grand Demon Dukes and their forces.

Furthermore, the thievery rate has dramatically increased in these last couple of years, and a new thief has risen, haunting the royal demon nation just like the Sky Stealer did. The only difference was there was no imperial demon domain to stop it anymore.

The All-Knowing Evil, the new thief face of the Mighty Demon Continent, and another character were feared even more than thieves!

In the Inner Poison Wood City of the Grand Duchy, where the Grand Duke Castle was, within a small shop in the magnificent market, a secret meeting was being held in the underground room.

Only three people were present; two were graceful veiled women. One in the black dress was sitting with the demeanor of a queen, while the other in the red dress was standing behind her respectfully.

In front of them sat a handsome demon with a cold demeanor, and a suffocating air surrounded him. He wore a purple windbreaker, his long white hair covered half of his face, and his eyes were exempt from any emotions.

The woman in the black dress smiled behind her veil as her snake pupils shimmered, "I can hardly recognize you anymore, Sir Thomas, or should I say, Demonic Ghost Revenge."

Thomas, who had gone through a complete transformation after his encounter with Ace, looked at Jessie, who was Freya's Witch Avatar, impassively and said in his hoarse voice, "Did Lady All-Knowing find us a way to enter the imperial demon domain?"

He appeared utterly indifferent towards Freya's teasing, and a sharp anticipation burned in his eyes when he asked that question.

Freya nonchalantly replied, "Nope, you know better than me that something is up with those imperial dogs. They had completely closed the imperial domain since Princess Leona had become the Demon Empress.

"Even the royal demon nation seemed to be abandoned for the time being. You've killed so many of those royal demons, but we have yet to hear a whisper from them. Only those Grand Dukes are making a fuss. They are now like ownerless dogs, abandoned by their master.

"But don't worry, that bitch empress is not something to just abandon her food and leave it for others. She's scheming something; from my sources, it has something to do with the three forbidden countries. The security there is even more overbearing than the imperial domain these days. Three new demon admirals were appointed there three years ago. You can only imagine."

Thomas's eyes flashed with intense killing intent, "Do you want me to go after the three forbidden counters next?"

"Heh, are you really not afraid I'll send you to your death someday? You even dare to do it after just because I told you to?" Freya sounds amused.

"I don't care about my life as long as I can destroy the imperial domain, and I don't trust you. I trust 'him' and his judgment. To this point, you have yet to mess up even a little, and all of your targets always hit the demons where it hurts the most, and you can easily sweep treasures afterward. It's a win-win relationship between us, nothing more, nothing less." Thomas emotionlessly replied.

Freya's eyes shimmered sharply, "Tsk, you're really like a Muppet; I just can't stand you despite you bringing me so much success. You must tell me how my dear leader can make you this way."

"Why not ask him yourself? And I'm pretty sure you already know my background." Thomas replied without any hint of annoyance.

"Something tells me it would be more interesting to hear it from you." Freya giggled playfully before she said, "I seek you out because I'm in a little bind. I'm planning to go after the main house of Poison Wood Grand Demon Duke. I'll robe them while you do your stuff."

Thomas's eyes narrowed ever so slightly before he returned to be expressionless, "Very well, I was hoping to try my technique on a Grand Demon Duke. Let's see how he'll dance. When do we leave?" He asked without hesitation.

Freya's lips curled up, "Tsk, that's why I hate you. You never know how the word 'fear'. Very well, we'll leave tonight. I've already acquired some old maps of the castle and a little helper from the inside."

At this moment, Aliya, who was silently listening to their conversation, suddenly frowned before she sent her sense into her storage ring, and suddenly, her eyes widened with shock and a hint of fury.

With their sharp senses, the two of them instantly noticed Aliya's chaotic emotions, and Freya asked her, "What is it?"

Aliya finally regained her senses as she looked at Freya with a complicated look. She gritted her teeth and said, "I-I just received a communication signal on a communication cube."

"Who is it to make you so lively?" Freya couldn't help but chortle.

'I'm afraid you'll be the same very soon…' Aliya was indignant as he replied, "It's Lord Sky Stealer!"

Both Freya and Thomas's expressions changed, especially Thomas's since he hadn't heard anything about Ace in quite some time, and he didn't bother to ask it from Freya.

Now, all of a sudden, he was contacting, and he was contacting Aliya, not Freya. Something seems wrong.

'What did he want? Didn't he know I can't contact him until the mission ends? I've already blown my cover in the blood continent and can't miss this chance. Damn it, if the house call is not working, take a hint!' Freya was extremely vexed when she thought about what had happened in the blood continent to her real body, and now Ace calling her was making it even more difficult.

'Wait… he didn't call me but Aliya, so he should know, and as long as I don't talk to him, it should be fine, and it might be something important.' Realization dawned on her.

"Pick it up and tell me I can't talk to him," Freya ordered sternly.

Aliya then hesitantly glanced at Thomas, making him frown. He clearly wanted to listen. He thought Ace might be in some danger and need their help. Yet Freya was being wishy-washy.

"He's fine." Freya annoyingly said as she could sense Thomas was getting impatient, 'He's like a loyal dog, humph!'

Aliya finally removes the black cube and activates it with a complicated loo.

Ace's jolly voice sounded, "Oh, you really didn't throw it away. I guess you didn't forget about our friendship after all. You don't know how happy I am."

Aliya's expression went dark, and she ground her teeth in outrage, 'This shameless bastard!'

But Ace continued without caring, "I know she's probably listening, and I know we can't talk. So, I'll get straight to the point: I've just arrived at the continent, and news will soon spread. I'm just warning you in advance that it is just the start, and you'll hear lots of me in the upcoming days, so don't be shocked. Tell Evil to contact me after she's done, and we'll meet then. Oh, and good luck!"

The cube went dormant afterward, and three people were entirely flabbergasted by Ace's subtle words. For a long time, no one speaks!
