Eternal Thief
530 Deft Thief
Archie's entourage stopped in front of a golden, eye-catching building called the Pleasure Palace.
The guard who had been chided by Archie moved with a listless expression to open the carriage door.
However, before he could, Archie's cold voice rang. "We're going back."
This order startled the guard because, in his eyes, Archie would never leave this place after coming here, even if something were to happen in the Grand Demon District.
At this moment, young demons disembarked the carriages behind and approached Archie's carriage in high spirits.
"Why are you there daydreaming? Fool, open the door for Young Lord Archie!" a black face demon with a skinny constitution sternly berated.
However, Archie's icy voice sounded again. "We are going back, and if you don't hear me, I can cut off your ears since you don't need them!"
The smiles on the henchmen's faces immediately faded, replaced with the same kind of look that the guard had previously.
The black face demon's eyes shimmered with a strange glint as he quickly said, "Don't you hear? We're going back. Milord isn't feeling well!"
Just as they appeared, they quickly embarked on their carriages with bewildered expressions and turned the carriages around.
It also shocked the beautiful demoness wearing a revealing dress who was coming to receive Archie and his henchmen when she saw them leaving.
Inside Archie's carriage.
Archie sat with an emotionless face before a little smirk emerged all of a sudden.
'This idiot really didn't know how to appreciate the wealth he inherited. What a pity.' Ace has an askance look in his eyes.
This Archie was naturally Ace. The real one had become a corpse and was inside a storage ring!
After Ace was done with his mission, he annexed Archie's entire memories within a few seconds. His soul probing was more powerful after he comprehended the [Psyche] law, and the memory fragments were much larger than before because of it.
Afterward, Ace required Archie's face, and the Demonic Eater Mask only worked when someone was dead, so even if Ace wanted to, he had to kill Archie, which he didn't mind!
Now, he was Archie, and he was going to the Grand Demon Estate to start the next phase of his plan.
To infiltrate the Royal Demon Institute!
Since Archie was already eligible, he didn't need to hunt for someone else, it might arouse suspicion if Archie suddenly vanished into thin air.
Ace didn't want to alert anyone, so he was going to play Archie for a while now like he did with Feng unless something untoward accrued!
Now, that sword of Damocles (Job Mission) has been removed from his head, he was relaxed and going to take his time in completing the Chain Mission and finding the Lightning Orb.
But first, 'Let's see the rewards!'
Ecstatic, Ace started the rewarding process!

<strong>======</strong>
Ace's eyes glow like the sun when he saw the extra rewards!
He suddenly felt his Thief's Trainee Hood, which he was wearing, has undergone a mysterious change, and it felt more comfortable and safer.
Although the change wasn't much, it was still there.
As for the enhancement of the title of the [Disciple of Darkness] to [Follower of Darkness], it was an enormous boon and the most powerful thief tile of all.
Before it was only limited to skills related to darkness but now, it will even work on cultivation arts!
Ace was about to open his Thief Panel to see the Thief Symbol Summoning ability just unlocked. He was most eager to see this reward.
However, a new notification rang.
<strong>=====</strong>
<strong>[Congratulation Host on entering the level of Intermediate Thief Ranks!]</strong>
<strong>[The Thievery count section has been reset and rearranged from Beginning Thief Ranks to Intermediate Thief Ranks!]</strong>
<strong>[Thieveries below Grade 1 will no longer be awarded Thief Points!]</strong>
<strong>---</strong>
<strong>[Intermediate Thief Count New Conditions]</strong>

<strong>-Middle-Level Thieveries Count Minimum Requirement: 100,000 Thief Points</strong>
<strong>-High-Level Thieveries Count Minimum Requirement: 1,000,000 Thief Points</strong>
<strong>=====</strong>
Ace's elated expression visibly dimmed when he heard and read the details.
Indignant, he instantly questioned, "System, I can accept not being to earn thief points from items below Grade-1, but resting my previous thievery count is incriminating!"
He clearly remembered that he had over a hundred middle-level thieveries and high-level thievery, but now they were all gone just because of some stupid rank.
How could he not be incredulous and indignant?
<strong>"[As an intermediate thief host should show some sublime confidence and stop slandering the system for doing its job!]"</strong>
Black lines appeared on Ace's forehead when he heard this emotionless reply and refuted with spleen, "But you are doing a lousy job by taking my hard earn thievery count!"
However, no reply was given, which made him vexed. But what can he do besides give up?
He knew the system was a rock, and it would never listen to reasons, no matter how much he wasted his breath.
Ace sighed in exasperation and opened the Thief Panel to cheer himself up. He hoped the thief symbol summoning would be worth resting his previous thievery counts.

<strong>======</strong>
Ace looked at the Dark Owl Wing's ability with wide eyes filled with incredulously.
"System! Is that true that I can fly with this ability?!" He quickly asked, completely forgetting about his previous disapprobation of the system.
<strong>"[Only for thirty minutes for now.]" </strong>
System replay was plain and simple, but it made Ace almost scream with joy.
The ability to fly was every man's dream, and cultivators weren't different.
Only a Law Awareness Cultivator can master the ability of low-level aviation, but Ace got it much sooner, albeit for a limited amount of time.
This could make a world of difference when he was escaping, and only Law Awareness Cultivators could chase after him even if he got noticed by the manifestation realm experts.
Ace even wanted to rush outside to try this ability, but controlled his ecstatic heart. But his expression turned stern when he saw there was a new mission in the job panel!
"First, you give me happiness and then bitterness. Asshole!" Ace cursed as he opened the mission with an ugly expression.
No matter what, he has to be ready for the worse.
