Eternal Thief

At night, in a dark alleyway, two cloaked figures appeared. One of them was Ace in Abner's disguise!

"Fool of the dirt?" A coarse voice sounded from the other person.

"King of the earth," Ace replied impassively, as this was a secret identity verification code.

The other person didn't tarry once he confirmed Abner's identity and handed over a golden ring, "Good luck!" He said before vanishing without a trace.

Ace didn't remain either and vanished; he reappeared on the streets with another disguise and saw the contents of the ring.

There were two golden talismans with white runes and a letter, 'Space runes? So, they are teleportation talismans, huh?' Ace instantly recognized them.

The letter was from the second prince, Darren. There was written the use of those two talismans. Once they are activated, they will transfer two people to the edge of Golden Lands, and by using them again, they can send them back as well before those talismans turn into dust.

Furthermore, the user needed to keep these talismans on a person all the time, or they would get noticed by the security of the Golden Lands. Lastly, these talismans also have limited area access; they can only give access to the outer region of the Golden Lands, not the inner region.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Ace had to admit the imperial family was really resourceful in making these kinds of talismans. The second prince got two of them for Riana, and the other person accompanied her. He was doing all this to win her favor, but he didn't dare to go himself just in case things went south.

All the blame would fall on the Crown Prince if they were discovered, so it was a win-win situation for Darren no matter the results, and that's why he made arrangements so quickly.

But even the second prince hadn't expected that he just handed Ace the key to their treasury and now Ace didn't need Abner's identity anymore.

"Attention, citizens of the Golden Lion Capital!" Suddenly a thunderous voice draws everyone's attention.

It was a burly demon in golden armor with a stream face, and he was holding a bronze color scroll with the golden lion royal family seal. Everyone was surprised because this was a royal edict from the royal palace.

Once the attention was on him, he sternly began to read the scroll, "This is a royal edict issued by His Royal Majesty the Golden Lion King in collaboration with Wild Hungry Pavilion and the Imperial Family!

"This noon, a thief proclaimed himself to be the Sky Bandit raided the treasury of the Wild Hungry Pavilion, stealing their inheritance and all the treasuries. Not only that, but this vile villain also steals from His Highness, Golden Lion Prince, First Lion Duke Eldest Son, Cayden, Third Royal Left Prince…, and Fourth Imperial Prince, Zion!

"The city gates and Space Highway Buildings have been sealed. No one can leave until the vile villain Sky Bandit is found. Please cooperate with the search; everyone is a suspect, and any resistance will be taken as a trace of guilt.lightsnovel

"As long as you are not the Sky Bandit, you have nothing to worry about. Now, I ask you all to return to your homes and lodgings. We'll start the investigation in an hour. Anyone who is found on the streets during this time will be considered a suspect!"

A huge commotion breaks out when they hear someone dare to steal from not only the Wild Hungry Pavilion but also the Fourth Imperial Prince. Just what guts would it require, and what skills to make that happen?

There has never been such a huge thievery in the Sky Heart Plains before especially involving so many big names. Moreover, this person even left behind his name because he was not afraid of the imperial family's wrath.

Now, the entire city was in lockdown, and they didn't dare to make a voice since this matter was too big, and they didn't want to get implicated. As long as they were innocent, they had nothing to worry about. So, they quickly begin to leave for their homes.

These kinds of announcements were made all over the city, and soon, the city was completely deserted. Soldiers of the royal family flooded the streets as they were to search every inch of the city and every person without any restraint.

Ace also returned to his inn, but he wasn't worried at all. He was the one who left behind a small note and Sky Bandit's name in the empty treasury of the Wild Hungry Pavilion, even though Eva wasn't aware of it.

Although he didn't use his own name, he couldn't just leave without calming the thievery. It was a habit that he didn't want to change, but he also didn't want to reveal his thief symbol since this might alert the Heavenly Mortal Emperor if he was aware of his status as Heaven's Stealer.

Nonetheless, the response he got was quite great, and the kingdom's reaction was also decisive. He was sure that those who had left the Golden Lion Kingdom during this time were all part of the scrutiny and investigation.

At this moment, both of the projection cubes from the Crown Prince and the Second Prince begin to blink.

His lips curled, 'It seemed they also received the news and wanted to hear details from Abner. Too bad he's no longer in the world.'

Smiling thievishly, he took out a golden talisman and poured his Qi into it, and the next moment, he vanished from the inn without any trace. When the people come to search, they will know that this room was booked in the name of Abner, an imperial envoy.

Now that he had vanished, no one knew how they would take it if he became a suspect. The Crown Prince wouldn't escape the implication, or they might directly claim him to be the traitor.

Furthermore, the second prince will also notice someone has gone wrong once this news reaches him.

Ace had caused huge trouble for both princes, but alas, it was just the start!
