Eternal Thief

While all the Iron Demon Tribe was panicking, the Dark Gibbon Army was thoroughly shocked and everyone's focus turned toward the Iron Demon Army.

Henrik, at this moment, moved, leaving an afterimage behind, and abruptly appeared right in front of bewildered Uriah, who was standing right beside Elian.

New Moon didn't stop Henrik as he coolly watched while a cube appeared in his hand. He was using the Eagle Surveillance Formation to the fullest right now. If anyone tried to pull something, he'll instantly know!

Uriah's heart palpitated when he saw Henrik's cold eyes fixed on him, while everyone around immensely felt a mountainous pressure locking on them.

"M-my… L-L… Lord…"

Before Uriah could utter anything, Henrik cut him short with his grim voice. "Call every demon of your clan on the west of the city wall!"

Uriah gulped before quickly nodding his head. He didn't dare to resist or even utter a voice of disagreement.

Elian and other elders also kept their mouths shut, as they could tell something was extremely wrong, and they had no way of resisting Henrik or the New Moon.

It was now clear that they were both targeting their tribe for some reason, and it was even clearer that Uriah's silver-iron demon clan was involved somehow, and they were just about to find out how!

Dustin was watching all this with glee in his eyes. He didn't know how, but things were moving in the favor of his tribe, and it seemed he might win this city without any war whatsoever!

Quickly, all the demons of the Silver Iron Demo were separated, all women, children, old, young, weak, and strong. Everyone was looking at Henrik with a hint of dread in their eyes.

"Take off your war helmets!" Henrik said in an unquestionable tone.

Although he was using his martial sense, he found nothing out of the ordinary about them, not like when he met that thief. That's why he wanted to see everyone's faces, since there were foot soldiers among them, wearing heavy armors.

If he still didn't find that thief among them, then it would mean that the thief can easily change his appearance, since a hex master was capable of such a feat.

Which will make founding him almost impossible among hundreds of thousands of demons. If that were really the case, then Henrik was really about to take far more drastic measures than this!

Every Silver Iron Demon revealed their faces at this moment. They were clearly horrified.

Uriah was also praying desperately that whatever Henrik was looking for was not here. Although he had an idea just who was Henrik looking for, he didn't want to believe that his clan can produce such a thievish genius!

"So, you're still here, you bastard!" Henrik's eyes suddenly turn bloodshot as he roared at the top of his lungs as his eyes were fixed on the demon at the very last row of Silver-Iron Demon.

Everyone focused and turned in the same direction, while Uriah's heart fell into a cold abyss at this moment.

Henrik didn't give any chance to the other party to 'escape' and use his water Qi to form a vivid hand and made a grabbing motion toward that same direction with spiteful eyes.

Everyone finally saw a struggling silver-iron demon in Henrik's water grip. His face was skinny while still handsome as he had long silver dishevel hair while his eyes were filled with terror and puzzlement.

This was the real Pablo who Ace left alive after taking his face!

"Don't kill him!" New Moon has also appeared beside Henrik as he looked at struggling Pablo with uncertainty. 'It was too… easy?'

He couldn't help but think like this because that guy struggling in Henrik's water grip didn't seem to be a cunning Hex Master nor someone who theft thousands of demons and a Demon Marquis!

Henrik's eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at Pablo's terror-stricken face, he felt even angrier when he thought how 'this' guy fool him with the same kind of act that time, and he was still acting even after being caught by him!

Henrik used all his willpower to not squish Pablo to death because he knew New Moon won't let him, and he still needed this scoundrel to remove that disgraceful 'hex' from his face.

So, he placed Pablo on the ground, but he didn't lose his water grip since he didn't want him to pull any tricks and escaped.

Uriah also looked flabbergasted at Pablo's pale face. He didn't dare believe that the thief was his own son, who he had exiled all those years ago. He never paid attention to him, since he knew he was just a rotten egg and a piece of trash. His life or death meant nothing to him. He didn't even know Pablo was recruited into the 'cannon fold army' of vagabond demons!

"Scoundrel Thief, do you admit your wrongs?!" Henrik yelled at this moment, with a hint of killing intent.

Pablo had no idea what was happening, as he didn't even have the strength to breathe because of Henrik's soul realm pressure. He was simply too weak in front of someone like Henrik.

Henrik easily saw through Pablo's struggles, but he didn't decrease his pressure at all because he wanted to torture him to no end after what 'Pablo' had done to him!

"What, you still didn't admit your mistake? Let's see, when I kill your clansmen one by one right in front of you, will you still remain silent?" Henrik's voice was filled with viciousness and hate.

New Moon also didn't stop Henrik and let him release some pent-up anger. As long as he didn't kill Pablo, anyone else's life didn't matter to him.

Uriah shuddered after hearing Henrik's threat and blurted, "My Lord, this bastard has nothing to do with our clan. He's an exile. He has nothing to do with us!"

He quickly kneeled and plead in front of Henrik, without caring about his image. His entire clan's survival was on the line at this moment!

At this moment, a weak, hoarse voice sounded,

"F…f-father…"

It was Pablo's voice that was almost suffocating within Henrik's soul realm pressure.

Henrik's eyes narrowed as he looked at Pablo and Uriah and felt they looked quite similar. He decreased the pressure at this moment, making Pablo breathe roughly.

New Moon was also amazed by this unexpected new discovery and silently looked at what was about to happen.

Uriah's face turned ashen when he saw Henrik was gawking at him with killing intent and quickly said, "My Lord, this bastard has nothing to do with me. I disown him decades ago and exile him from the clan because of his misconducts, everyone can be my witness to this claim!"

He suddenly pointed his finger at Pablo and roared madly, "You Chode, just admit your mistakes, do not drag your entire tribe down with you!"

"But you're still his father, right?" Henrik's voice was calm, too calm actually, which gave Uriah the chills.

"Y-yes… but…"

Henrik didn't listen to Uriah's next word and said calmly, "Let's not take about his sin to disrupt an active Noble Tribe Tile War by 'attacking' an evaluator, but, your son is a Hex Master the enemy of the entire demon race. Just this point has earned your entire tribe a public execution by skinning everyone alive!"

Uriah, as well as the entire Iron Demon Tribe, felt chills when they heard Henrik's calm yet malicious voice and his sword-like sharp words.

Any local demon knew the rules of Almighty Demon Empire were absolute and violating them will only mean death and what kind of death you'll get. You don't even have the right to decide this as well!

Pablo said weakly at this moment after regaining some of his breath, "I have no idea what Lord is saying, I never attack you, you asked my fellow soldiers I was right on my post this entire time, I don't even know what a Hex Master is!"

"Scoundrel, you still refused to admit it?!" Henrik become angry the moment he heard Pablo's voice. He just couldn't seem to hate him enough, and every time he heard his voice, he felt his hate increase!

"Is that so?" New Moon spoke at this moment in his calm voice, "Marquis Henrik, did you sense your Qi mark on your storage ring on him?"

Henrik's eyes narrowed as he knew why New Moon was asking it, "No, but it still hasn't been removed. But it doesn't mean he hasn't hidden it somewhere else!"

"Did anyone sense their storage ring on him?" New Moon's voice rang in everyone's ears.

Every victim standing to the side has the same answer, which was a big no.

"Sigh…" New Moon sighed heavily at this moment, "Marquis Henrik, I think he was unknowingly controlled by the Hex Master with a hex, however, if he was telling the truth about not leaving his position then this also means that the hex master had changed his appearance into this demon!"
