Eternal Thief

Chapter 528 You Mustʼve Hear Of My Humble Name

Archie was one of the young decedents of Soul Life Demon Clan, the ruling Clan of the Life Demon Tribe.

Albeit he wasnʼt from Grand Demon Dukeʼs direct lineage but from Grand Demon Dukeʼs younger brotherʼs line.

But just this status was enough to make everyone revere him and make his status above many and blow only a few.  This made Archie aloof.

With a huge amount of resources at his disposal as well as his backing, he had nothing to worry about. He just had to show his talent, and heʼll get anything he demanded.

Archie was naturally talented, in fact, he was talented enough to compete with his cousins from the Grand Demon Dukeʼs lineage. But he was too lazy and ambitionless.

Cultivation didnʼt interest him, he only cultivates for lifespan and luxury.

Furthermore, he was a debaucher and visited the red district almost every other day, which made his reputation among his peers hit the rock bottom. But Archie didnʼt care at all.

Today was just like any other day for him with his entourage of henchmen as he headed toward the red district in their luxurious carriages. Or a member of the Life Demon Tribe would seldom appear in public eyes.

Nevertheless, everyone minds their own business. It was the territory of the Life Demon Tribe, so they could do anything they wants as long as they didnʼt antagonize anyone publicly.

Archie sat inside his carriage with a bored expression as he sipped on wine. He had a handsome sharp face with emerald eyes and light green skin. His bend pair of sharp horns were covered under his long emerald hair.

Furthermore, he was a peak Golden Soul River Core cultivator and a hair away from reaching the Diamond Soul River Core. If he wasnʼt lazy and didnʼt want to, he would have had a breakthrough a long time ago.

But he deliberately held it back because once he does, his freedom would be gone because of a certain rule of the Royal Demon Nation.

Thatʼs why his parents let him enjoy while he could and werenʼt worried heʼll destroy his life.

If he wasnʼt talented, then it wouldʼve been another story, but he was talented, and he canʼt escape his fate no matter how much he delays it.

As pour himself another glass of wine, he looked outside the window and glanced at those demons bowing in reverence, contempt flashed past his eyes.

He thought severely, ʼWhy do we need to follow rules when weʼre superior to those talentless nomads? We should be living a lifestyle suitable for our titles, but here we are living in a vast golden cage…ʼ

He always hated doing cumbersome things and wanted to live a free life without doing anything and indulge himself with debauchery and the pleasures of life.

But the demon race wasnʼt a typical race. They were strong for a reason and that reason was their strict rules, which were embedded in their blood.

Archie could be said one in a million who had this kind of revolting mindset and thought about himself before his race.

At this moment, he saw the scenery suddenly change, and he no longer saw any passersby bowing, but eye-catching buildings lit in red lights.

Archieʼs lecherous eyes lit up. ʼThis is the only place where I can run wild!ʼ

He wasnʼt in the least concerned about his safety or even thinking that someone would dare to attack him in the Life Grand Demon Region.

However, right at this moment, ʼBang.ʼ the door of his carriage suddenly blasted open!

”yiii…”
Archie yelped in shock, and wine spilled over his clothes.

The carriage came to an abrupt stop as a guard dashed in front of the door and anxiously said, ”Young Lord, are you alright?”

Archieʼs aghast expression was replaced with indignant as he asked sharply, ”Iʼm fine. What happened?”

If he werenʼt outside, he wouldʼve beaten these incompetent fellows silly.

The guard horridly answered, ”I-I donʼt know, but it seemed the lock array malfunctioned just now.”

Archie frowned as looked at the door, and a white mist filled his eyes. It was a runic eye skill to examine the symbols. Although he was lazy, it didnʼt mean his parents were also lazy. He was an Intermediate Grade-3 Rune Crafter!

The Soul Life Demon Clan was famous for its rune crafting, so Archie didnʼt have a choice in this matter. He can be lazy at anything but rune crafting!

After he was done examining it, he coldly looked at the guard. ”Itʼs completely fine. It must be you who didnʼt close it properly.

”Since weʼre almost at the Pleasure Palace, I wonʼt make a fuss, but youʼll be answering me after we returned. Now tell everyone thereʼs no need to panic and continue moving!”

The guard trembled as his face turned pale. He knew his career was over, and heʼll be beaten by Archie when they returned and might even be crippled!

It wasnʼt something new for Archie!

Archie didnʼt care about the guardʼs felling and shut the door with a cold harrumph.

However, the very next moment, darkness engulfed Archie within a moment, and he didnʼt even have time to react!

His entire body felt like it was glued on its spot, as his cultivation was completely suppressed.

ʼItʼs an attack!ʼ He thought with a horrified expression. He finally understands that the gate hasnʼt malfunctioned, and someone has targeted him.

ʼIs this an assassination attempt by me cousins?! But I never get in their way! No, they didnʼt have any reason to assassinate me. I always keep a low profile, never offend anyone and mind my own business…ʼ

Many possibilities flashed through Archieʼs mind, but none of them made any sense.

”Thereʼs no need to struggle. Itʼs a Grade-5 Limit Talisman, the Dark Dimension Bead. No one will be able to hear or found about it unless they were in the Manifestation Realm. Weʼre completely isolated in this carriage space.” A snide voice rang.

ʼSomeone is using a limit talisman just to kill me?!ʼ Archieʼs expression turned ashen when he heard this, but even his speech ability was suppressed so he canʼt make a sound. He canʼt even see anything in this darkness.

He knew the limit talismans were also called the ancient talisman, and their creation method has been long-lost in the river of history.

The method of making limit talismans was so profound even his family, who were well versed and called the top rune family of the demon race, didnʼt have any way to decipher it completely.

They only had a handful of them, and every use of these talismans was extremely precious, especially a grade-5 limit talisman.

Now, someone is using it just to assassinate him. He never remembered having this kind of feud with anyone.

”Heh, donʼt worry. No one hired me to assassinate you.” The voice snickered as it saw through Archieʼs thoughts.

The owner of this voice was clearly Ace who was following Archieʼs entourage from the moment Ace noticed the emblem of the Life Demon Tribe.

He never thought he would encounter a direct decedent of the Life Demon Tribe without even entering the central district. It was a windfall for Ace.

So, he followed them, and when his fate mapped to see the danger level, he didnʼt find any black fate point, which means there wasnʼt any fatal danger level character in this entourage.

After he used his soul sense, which was slightly powerful because of the [Psyche] law, he only found two soul realm guards with this entourage.

In the end, he decided to make his move when they entered the red districtʼs territory. Itʼs not as crowded as the other regions.

With his speed, he simply used his treasure-opening hands to unlock the 9-star runic lock, and before anyone could react, he was already inside the carriage!

No one noticed him with his heartless stealth at perfection, and when the door was locked again, he simply used the limit talisman he got from Paul.

It was quite useful in this kind of situation.

Although the limit talisman now only has 2 more uses left, it was all worth it since with Archie he could complete his Job Mission!

”Alright, we donʼt have time, so Iʼll tell you why I use a precious talisman to isolate ourselves.” Ace speaks coolly, ”First, my name is… Sky Stealer. You mustʼve heard of my humble name?”

Archieʼs eyes went wide when he heard this name.

How could he not know about the legendary thief who his family hated the most, as well as the person who dared to expose Imperial Princess Leonaʼs schemes in front of millions of demons?

ʼS-Sky…. Sky Stealer already infiltrate this deep into the Royal Demon Nation while everything is still searching for in the common provinces!?ʼ Archieʼs mind turned into a mess, and a strange feeling of fear surfaced in his heart!

Ace observed Archieʼs reaction and smiled faintly before he continued, ”As for why I approached you, you can imagine. You guys made it very difficult for me to move freely, so I have to hide in a place where anyone would least expect me to.”

Archieʼs heart turned cold when he heard it, and despair filled his eyes. ʼHe wants my face!ʼ
