Eternal Thief

Inside the secret underground room, Ace was still immense in his training when suddenly the system’s notifications rang in his mind, jolting him out of his focus…

Ace was naturally gobsmacked by this volley of killing notification and quickly questioned with a slightly excited voice, “System explain!”

Although he had already guessed what this indicated, he still wanted to confirm from the system itself!

“[Any kill by a Thief House Member will result in additional EXP or SP for Host.]”

“So, it wasn’t a dream!” Ace exclaimed with ecstasy, and suddenly he asked another question promptly, “What about the stealing or theft?!”

“[Any kind of thievery by a Thief House Member will result in additional Thief Points for Host!]”

“Fuck, yes!” Ace couldn’t help but exclaim out loud in excitement.

Before he only thought the Thief-House was just to nurture helper thieves, and he was getting the short end of the stick since he had to spend Thief Points and House Points also don’t give any benefits to him as well.

However, now that system revealed the hidden benefits of Thief House, how could he remain calm and collective?

“This is far better than anything I could’ve asked for. It was truly worth it to use thief house! Should I recruit reaming two members?” Ace mumbled with excitement, deep in wondrous thoughts of his bright larcenous future.

He no longer thought of this function as a burden, and he was even more motivated to nurture more thieves because it was like a long-term investment!

However, Ace didn’t know this was just the tip of the iceberg!

Back inside the Demon Wolf Bandits Hideout,

“Too weak!” The same icy voice rang with a hint of mockery.

But in the ears of the bandit leader, it was the voice of his maker!

Nothing in this world was scarier than an absolute power that can make anyone fall into despair, and this leader of bandies was just experiencing the same things.

His will to fight was long gone and the only thing in his mind was; survival!

With no hint of his previous haughtiness, he fell on his knees and prostrated in front of the cave entrance, and start begging, “Please sir, have mercy! You can have everything and I can even give riches far more than you could’ve imagined. Please spare my life, I’ll change my ways…”

“Shut up!” Noa’s exasperation voice sounded.

She never imagined this guy had no hint of integrity in him. He gave up without even thinking!

“Sign this slave contract and I’ll spare you!” Noa didn’t want to delay any further and throw the 8-star slave contract she bought from the plump shop owner.

The bandit leader finally showed a hint of hesitation at seeing the stone slave contract. He knew with his cultivation base, that it was impossible to break this eight-star slave contract without entering the Qi river core realm!

“W-why don’t we find another way, like I have a lot of wealth…” His next words suddenly caught in his throat like a lump when he felt the cold, sharp edge on his throat.

Noa’s soft yet icy voice, filled with killing intent, enter his ears,

“Either sing it or die!”

“Please wait! I’m the second son ‘Buck Golden Iron’ of Golden Iron Demon Tribe’s Chief and the city lord of Iron Demon City. Don’t kill me!”

Buck finally revealed his real identity when he almost saw the death door. Although he was unwilling, and it was also his biggest secret, it was far better than being dead!

Noa was naturally astonished when she heard him and thought, ‘No wonder Leader said he had a strong backer!’

Nevertheless, she remained cold and impassive as she repeated pointedly, “I don’t care even if you’re a demon prince, either you live as a slave or die as a headless corpse!”

Buck felt his throat turn dry as he felt the sharp dagger pressing into his throat. He never thought his assaulter wasn’t even afraid of his father, and finally, his last mental defense shattered.

He was terrified of dying and even if he became a slave of another demon, he’ll still choose to live. ‘Once my father found out about it, he’ll naturally rip this guy apart and rescue me!’

With this thought, he sent his Qi mark on the slave contract, and a dark red mark suddenly appeared between his dark golden eyebrows before disappearing.

Noa finally put away her dagger and took the slave contract from the floor, storing it inside her storage ring. She was quite pleased with herself since she completed this mission with no hindrance.

‘What’s the second mission?’ She eagerly waited, without even caring about listless Buck, who was now silently shedding tears of bitterness.

Noa didn’t have to wait for long before the systems deemed the first mission complete and activate the second mission of the chain mission, and she attentively read the contents,
