Eternal Thief

Chapter 1210: Hope or Disaster?

In the Cultivation Courtyard No.4 of the Disciple District, Harper-Rose and another chief disciple with their head low in shame were standing in front of a tall man seemingly in his twenties and blue eyes filled with fury at this moment as he looked towards Harper-Rose and other disciple, who were part of his Sutton Clan faction!

This man was the leader of the Sutton Clan disciple faction and ranked fourth in the chief disciple ranking, Euan Sutton!

”Not only youʼve failed to bring that nobody. Youʼre telling me someone stole your storage rings and left you with some curse that you canʼt get rid of? And this thief is most likely that nobody who is still in the Ascension Soldier Realm? Am I getting it right?” The more he spoke, the more his face twisted with fury, and he felt his blood boil; he had not heard something so ridiculous in his entire life.

”I know it sounds ludicrous, but you see yourself. We are not lying! Although we didnʼt see him, it has to be him!” Harper-Rose cried in indignation as he gritted his teeth in hatred and flashed the owl symbol on his finger. He had the urge to cough blood whenever he saw this damn owl, ”Please, Brother Euan, you have to seek justice for us! Or weʼll become the laughingstock of the entire sect!”

Euan was even more furious as he retorted furiously, ”You donʼt even know if it was him, neither do you have any proof! Useless bitches, youʼve already loose enough face already, and now you want me to go and interrogate him without any evidence?! Get out of my face!”

Harper-Rose and the other guy who had their entire wealth stolen felt like crying, but they had no tears, for they knew without any proof, it would be impossible to do anything to George.

Furthermore, it was an extremely humiliating matter, and they really didnʼt want others to know about it, but they had to get back their treasures no matter what.

At this moment, the other guy with a birthmark around his neck suddenly said, ”No! Senior, we have proof! Our disciple badges were also in our storage rings. We can go to the Sect Enforcement Hall and have them track down our badges. No storage treasure can hide the disciple badges, and weʼll catch that thievish bastard red-handed! Iʼm sure he didnʼt know about this!”

Euanʼs eyes suddenly lit up, and Harper-Rose also felt hope as he looked at his fellow sufferer with a gentle gaze. He suddenly found this fellow quite likable.

”Alright! Quickly, you two go! Iʼm still not going.” Euan quickly ordered them with a cold glint in his eyes, ”Since Nathaniel and Avalynnʼs people also get done in by that nobody, Iʼm sure they will do the same! We need to show that sneaky rat who is the ruler of this place!”

The same scene was being played in the disciple courtyard no.2 and no.1 as all the people who were the victims of Georgeʼs ʼassaultʼ made their way towards the Sect Enforcement Hall.

However, like Euan, they were only going to tell the truth that they had lost their badges without making things clear since no one wanted to reveal the truth.

This would dumbfound the entire Sect Enforcement Hall, as this had never happened before. The news would soon reach the higher-ups, making them even more baffled!

”Hahahahaha, that little brat sure is mean!” A booming laugh filled with joy rang in the cultivation chamber of the Sect Master!

Sect Master Vincent also wore a wry yet amusing smile as he looked in a mirror in front of him, playing the scene of Georgeʼs theft.

”Iʼm glad you are amused, but this matter is still not simple. Theft is still a crime, and we ought to punish him. Furthermore, that brat is too bold; he bluntly lied about being my disciple, and then he not only stole from his fellow disciples but also sold their things to the sect without even any care. Heʼs fearless of the sect rules because of me. Heʼs sullying my name!”

Although his words were harsh, no hint of anger was present in his voice. If anything, he was curious about how George did it and why he was so good at it, especially lying without even flinching.

If he didnʼt know better, even he wouldʼve believed his words.

”Hmph!” Guardian Spirit scoffed, ”Stop being a hypocrite! You were the one who put him up to it, and you even helped him protect the secret of his bloodline from leaking.

”You were using him to deal with the clans and want to shatter their control over the sect, so what if heʼs using your name? Itʼs not like heʼs killing others. In fact, that brat is extremely cunning.

”Iʼm sure heʼs using your name because you want to use him, and he knows about it better than anyone. Have you ever seen those useless idiots doing something like this? They only know how to follow orders or flaunt their authority as long as it suits their needs.

”Furthermore, as long as he didnʼt leave any proof behind, he knew no one could do anything to him, even you. Donʼt you see, even the sect protective formation wasnʼt able to catch how he did it? We can only see the rings on their fingers vanish before that strange mark appears. Iʼm telling you, that brat is exactly what we need!” The Guardian Spirit was full of praise, But there was a particular uncertainty in its voice when it mentioned the thief symbol.

Sect Master Vincentʼs expression was also serious, as he shared the same opinion, with the only exception of how George did it and that symbol.

He sighed, ”Since he had already signed in the registry, he canʼt directly harm the sect, and thatʼs the only reason Iʼm not doing anything despite him hiding his actual appearance and his uncanny abilities.

”Furthermore, since he had a mysterious bloodline, Iʼm sure he isnʼt a spy. After all, bloodline inheritors of the human race are extremely rare in the entire Mortal Ascension Heaven; even those mighty King Sects might not have one. So, itʼs pretty clear heʼs on his own and has his own motives.

”As long as he wonʼt go against the sect, Iʼm willing to look the other way. If we can earn his loyalty, Iʼm sure our sect will rise once he grows up!” His eyes were filled with ambition yet wariness as he looked at George in the mirror.

”Heh, youʼre finally thinking like a Sect Leader for once. This kind of talent can only be stumbled upon by luck. When such talents appeared in a sect, the sect would either directly rise or get destroyed.

”As a Sect Leader, you must protect the hope of the sect and do everything in your power to help him grow. As for his eccentric tendencies, what genius didnʼt have any? Even you had them, so stop being a worrywart!” The Guardian Spirit chided.

”Tsk, is he a hope or disaster? Iʼve really grown old...ʼ Vincent sighed, but his smile was far from being someone who was in a dilemma.

Ace left the Sect Treasury Hall after acquiring everything he wanted. Not only did he get over 200,000 dark affinity grade-4 spirit stones and 100,000 spirit crystals, but he also exchanged the wind spirit stones and crystals for many dark affinities forging materials.

The three elders of the Sect Treasury Hall were naturally shocked by Georgeʼs wealth, but they didnʼt question it since they all thought it was the Sect Master who gave him all of it.

Without stopping, Ace entered his courtyard and closed it off without knowing he had already stirred up the entire Chief Hall Court!
