Eternal Thief

On the top floor of the lionheart shop, an enthralling demoness, with an oval face and pale white skin and violet eyes, and long hair, wearing a bright yellow dress. She was respectfully standing in front of a veil demoness with only her canny ocean blue eyes visible.

These two were none other than Aliya and All-Knowing Parrot!

Aliya said, “My Lady, I just received the news that someone with a Diamond Parrot Token has come, and he’s an unknown person. Furthermore, he wanted to see the owner… I think he’s the person you gave the diamond parrot token a few months ago.”

All-Knowing Parrot’s eyes lit before she said, “So, he came after all. It’s only natural since the competition has been ended two days ago. But he seemed to be in another disguise, yes?”

Aliya nodded, “Yes, he’s currently disguised as a Spear Worrier Demon or there’s no way our people wouldn’t recognize him.”

“Hehe, as expected of the man I had my eye on. Go, and do as planned, and observe him. I want every detail about this meeting. I can’t show myself yet, he had to wait…” All-Knowing Parrot snickered playfully.

Aliya hesitate for a moment before she said, “But my lady, it’s too dangerous for you to be here. Don’t you send me here already? There was no need for you to come yourself so quickly. If someone were to find out, I’m afraid…”

Before she could complete her sentence, All-Knowing Parrot coldly cut her short, “Just do as you’re told. I have my plans for coming here this early!”

“Please forgive my rudeness!” Aliya quickly bowed before leaving.

All-Knowing Parrot’s eyes shone with a sharp glint as she watched Aliya leaving, ‘You took the first place despite knowing the dangers… what are you planning now…’

After Ace showed the token to the manager, that was given to him by All-Knowing Parrot, the manager quickly led him to the ninth floor which was a waiting area for VVIP customers like him or to be more precise it was the area reserved for only All-Knowing Parrot’s clients!

Furthermore, this place was filled with many arrays and a concealing formation which make it perfect for underhanded deals.

A beautiful demoness was serving him high-quality wine, but he remained uninterested in any because his eyes were glued to the live fate map.

Ace only used the live mapping out of curiosity to see if there was something worth noticing, and he found an anomaly on the map the moment he opened it.

“Moira, why is this fate point green, red, and white at the same time? Furthermore, this person seemed to be on the floor above.” Ace looked at the tri-color fate point with astonishment.

Moira replied, “This person can turn into an enemy, a friend, or even a neutral party based on Sir Ace’s actions or this person’s whim. You can say this is a type of person who had many faces, and they can stab you in the back at any time as long as it benefits them. Furthermore, since the green color is also present, this means you have some kind of understanding with this person, and you’re currently on friendly terms.”

Ace’s eyes suddenly shimmered with a sharp glint, ‘The person I know and in a friendly term with? I only know one person of this syndicate and had an understanding with him… could it be that guy is really hiding here?’

Ace couldn’t help but inhale deeply, as he looked at the ceiling with a peculiar glint in his eyes. Because of some restrictions, he can’t sense anything on the top floor and if he used his heavenly sense, he might alarm and alert the person.

And if that person was the same person he was thinking, he can’t let him know about this at any cost because he could use it to his advantage and gain what he wished for all this time.

‘Heh, it seemed even that savvy guy didn’t imagine that I have a treasure like Eternal Thief Fate Compass that can see through any restriction and camouflage. As long as his fate point didn’t change, he can never escape from me. But I can’t just attack this guy since I still have no idea about his prowess and there’s still that hex magic which I do not know of…’

Ace fell into deep thoughts as he thought about the pros and cons of acting against someone like All-Knowing Parrot.

At this moment, Aliya finally entered the ninth floor and looked with a belligerent glance toward the demon, who had an impassive expression on his face.

‘I don’t know what mistress sees in you and what is your true identity, but I won’t let you harm her!’ Aliya’s eyes shone coldly before she took the seat in front of Ace and said coldly, “I heard esteemed guest have our diamond parrot token, can I know when you acquired it and how?”

Ace looked at the enthralling beauty which wasn’t inferior to Milly at all and sense her belligerent gaze.

‘She came from the upper floor and her cultivation is also early stage diamond soul embryo realm. Even though she’s using some treasure to hide her soul cultivation, but it’s useless. Then didn’t this mean she’s a close aid of that guy, and it also confirmed that he’s here?’ Ace quickly reached this conclusion.

However, Ace didn’t show any emotion on his fake face and coolly said, “Don’t tell me you didn’t know from the token? I know your boss had already informed you about me, so let’s cut to the chase. I didn’t have any time to waste.”

Aliya’s eyes narrowed as her aura spiked slightly, but she controlled herself after thinking about her mistress.

He coldly said, “Fine, since esteem guest didn’t want to waste time, we won’t waste time. So, do you want to trade, sell, or buy?”

ɴ<0,>ᴠ,ᴇl “First, I want soul-type medicinal herbs or pills. I don’t care about their type or what they’re used for. As long as they’re 8-star or higher, I’ll take as much as you have. Price isn’t a matter for me.” Ace impassively said, without revealing his real, wily grin.

Aliya seemed to widen for a fleeting movement before returning to normal, and she suddenly smiled graciously as she said, “It can be naturally done, but I’m afraid we also have a limited supply of soul material above eight-star, and our prices will be slightly higher than market price as well.”

Ace seemed to have failed to notice this brief abnormality as he said without. “How much?”

“Since esteem guest didn’t care about the nature of herbs or pills, it’ll be extremely simple, we had Soul Calming Pills, Soul Mending Pills, Soul Burst Pills, and Soul Qi Pills.

“We can offer you 30,000 of each kind of pill of 8-Star. 10,000 9-star, 1000 low-grade-1, 500 intermediate-grade-1, and 100 high-grade-1.

“I can also arrange raw materials for the same types of pills that I just mentioned. We sold those materials in units and with each unit, ten pills can be made. I’m allowed to offer you 5,000 units of 8-Star. 2,500 units of 9-star, 500 units of low-grade-1, 100 units of intermediate-grade-1, and 50 units of high-grade-1.”

Ace was astonished when he heard they can provide even high grade-1 soul materials, and it seemed they still had much in stock.

However, he didn’t show any emotion on his fake face and merely said, “What about the price?”

Aliya smile playfully and said, “Since the esteemed guest is a diamond VIP, we won’t charge any extra expenses. If you want to exchange them for martial pills, you have to pay double the amount you’re buying, and they had to be of the same rank as the soul materials. Or you have to pay twice the market price with Qi stones, and we only accept grade-2 or higher Qi stones. As for treasures and weapons, like formations, arrays, and runic weapons, we can discuss the price as long as they are precious.”

Ace’s eyes narrowed. “Are you trying to rip me off?”

Aliya salaciously smile as she said, “I won’t dare to lie to a diamond VIP. This is our normal exchange rate. If it was a golden or silver VIP, they had to pay four times the market price. We, from the Spica Syndicate, deal fairy. You can ask any of our customers.”

‘What’s the deal with this woman? First, she was like a firecracker, and now she became like a shrewd merchant who wanted to use a honey trap to sell her products?’ Ace finally noticed the abnormality in Aliya’s behavior from before.

In the end, Ace knew he wouldn’t be able to buy soul materials anywhere and not this much, so he could only agree, “Fine, but I’ll pay with 1-star to 6-star medicinal herbs and other treasures, I have many star rank weapons, arrays, and formation. But I’m still not done with my purchase.”

Aliya slightly exhibited her voluptuous, titillating figure and a concupiscent expression appeared on her enthralling face as she drawled, “Oh, what did you like to purchase next? Don’t tell me you want me?!”
