Eternal Thief

Ace stood there with a somewhat dark expression on his face as he looked at the space where the yellow officer had vanished.

‘Well, now that things have escalated to this point, there’s nothing I can do. On the contrary, this might not be a bad thing. Since this guy didn’t try to hide the meridians and physique, he might not care about them at all.

‘He also said this person has been looking for a student for a very long time, which means he might just really want to find a worthy successor. Or, in the end, it might be just another scheme to fatten the cow before butchering it.’

He smiled wryly, ‘In the end, I needed to know about the two secret realms, so this is a good opportunity as well. I just need to be extra careful of my action…’

Just as he was mulling over this entire thing, he felt something and focused his eyes on the same place where the yellow officer had vanished. He was surprised when he saw the yellow officer had returned, but he wasn’t alone. There was another person beside him.

It was a three-meter-tall burly figure, wearing a golden robe with a black sun crest, and there was a golden sword right in the middle of this black sun, while the face was covered behind a black mask. He was none other than the Sun Lord, who was only below one person and above everyone!

However, Ace had no idea about it, but he felt like he was standing right in front of a deep abyss that would devour him whole if he wasn’t careful.

Ace checked the fate map and grimaced when he saw this guy had a black fate point. Not only that, but he was terrified when he saw another red circle around this fate point, which indicated he was an enemy! 𝐞𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.

‘How the hell did I offend this person?’ Ace’s heart sank, and he felt things were turning even worse.

The Sun Lord’s eyes were completely hidden behind the black mask, but he was clearly looking at Ace, and without any warning, he appeared right behind Ace. Before Ace could react, he was locked by a terrifying pressure that was as high as his previous heavenly punishment.

The next moment, Sun Lord’s hand pressed over Ace’s head, and a powerful current entered his body. He feels like this current wants to penetrate deep within his very being, and he can’t escape it.

“Hmm?” Sun Lord’s surprised voice sounded at this moment, and Ace felt that the current suddenly started to intensify.

Ace didn’t resist before because he didn’t feel any ill intent from this guy before and pretended to be completely stuck. However, now he felt alarmed as he felt his soul being under a stabbing pain.

‘He’s using soul search on me?!’ Ace’s eyes suddenly turned murderous.

He knew the system would no sit idle if this person entered his knowledge sea somehow, and he was ready to take full advantage of that moment to retaliate since he would be exposed at that anyway.

But right at this moment, Sun Lord felt something, and he stopped the soul search skill and quickly removed his hand.

“How dare you!” A terrifying voice full of oppressive might reverberated within the building.

Ace was surprised as he felt nothing by this voice, but the Sun Lord’s entire body trembled before his knees started to make cracking sounds.

‘Thudd…’

The entire floor trembled in shock as the Sun Lord fell on his knees and supported his body with his two hands while resisting being crushed. He looked like a dog who was about to get pulverized.

“F-for…forgive me… master!” Sun Lord’s pleading voice, filled with terror, rang.

Ace was flabbergasted by this entire turn of events as he looked at that terrifyingly powerful being kneeling there like a dog and wondered just who could make someone like him kneel with just pressure alone while he couldn’t even feel any pressure.

But one thing was clear, the owner of this pressure was absolutely not someone he could mess with, and by his current action, he seemed to care about White or his talent.

Whatever the case was, Ace started to feel like this entire Heaven’s Stealer Mission was impossible to compete with such a terrifying figure overseeing the union!

Nevertheless, he first has to figure out a way to get out of this mess.

At this moment, the pressure on Sun Lord finally vanishes as he pants there like a dog before he slowly raises to his feet.

“Bring him to me, and if you try your petty tricks again, I’ll make sure you no longer have a brain to think about such tricks anymore.” The same voice rang without any intent behind it this time. But it was as imposing as before.

Ace’s heart raced as he knew this was his chance to escape, but he knew he didn’t have any place to run unless he could figure out a way to escape the union. This person will find him, and his abilities are limited.

So, he could only hope that this person was really searching for a student, or at least if he was planning something, it would involve a long process.

“I don’t dare!” Sun Lord quickly reassured before he approached Ace again and put his hand over his shoulder again.

Ace felt a strong feeling of hostility from this guy but no ill intent anymore, and he thought with what happened before, he would not be going to play any tricks.

The very next moment, Ace suddenly felt a strong force enveloping him before he found his vision warped as everything turned to blur, and the next moment, his vision turned dark before it returned.

Ace was extremely familiar with this sensation, and his heart went cold, ‘Teleportation?!’

Just as he thought when he saw his surrounding, he wasn’t standing in that building anymore, but he was standing outside a magnificent golden palace gate!
