Eternal Thief

Chapter 261 - Mission Complete!



Everyone from Nightmare Ghosts Organization, Pill Flame Organization, and Beast Calling Organization were thinking about how to preserve their life instead of the technique slate right now. 

But first, they had to collect all the treasure mountain inside storage rings again, since Gordon was gazing at them like a bloodthirsty snake. 

Ace watched all those people start to collect the treasure mountain with shinning eyes and mused, 'Although I tricked him now and somehow make him give me the treasure mountain. But how should I escape? This old monster would not wait until for the talisman to lose its effect.' 

Ace knew the real test was to leave this place alive, not just acquire the treasure mountain!

---

While everyone inside the myriad ghost trapping talisman was collecting treasure mountain as fast as possible, not too far away out the trapping talisman ten people were stealthily observing the condition inside from the moment Gordon attacked Ace! 

They were naturally the ten Sky Thieves of Sky Stealer Society who were coming here to scout the treasure mountain just like Ace when they observed the sudden commotion broke out and people start running for their life. 

This didn't scare these ten sky thieves and only made them more curious as they quickly reached here. 

But when they saw the dark transparent barrier and Ace hooded figure standing extremely close to the edge of this barrier, they instantly assume some situations. 

But when they felt the power of that man who attack Ace like a ghost, their heart throbbed, and they all knew that person was a scary existence that can kill them ten thousand times like ants. 

However, when they saw Ace defending against those horrifying attacks and even 'subdue' the white hair man, everyone's eyes shone with worship and the respect for their lord reached the level of a deity. 

"Brother second, Boss is invincible, he even subdued the enemy's leader, and now they're probably collecting the treasure mountain for the boss!" A person in a purple owl mask spoke hysterically. 

"No, it's not so simple, if he subdued that white hair man, then Lord Sky Stealer will make him deactivate the formation barrier first." Second Sky Thief gravely spoke as a matter-of-factly.

"Let's observe more and if things go south, we'll act!" First Sky Thief ordered sternly as she continued to look toward Ace's figure with a hint of trepidation and anxiety.

In five minutes, the entire treasure mountain was vanished and turned into fifty storage rings! 

Every person caring a ring come to Gordon and respectfully handed them to him. 

However, one person asked with a trembling voice as he handed the last storage ring to Gordon, "M-my…. L-lord, will… will you kill us all?" 

Everyone instantly stopped in their tracks as they looked toward Gordon with hopeful eyes. They all naturally wanted to know the answer to this exact question.

Gordon coolly take the last storage ring and looked at everyone, excluding consciousness Dulce there was a total of 127 people, most of them being assassins from Nightmare Ghosts Organization. 

"How could I kill you all who work for me all this time so tirelessly and seamlessly? I'll reward everyone with…" 

Gordon nonchalantly speak like a kind elder, and everyone's listless eyes instantly lit up with a hope to leave this place alive. Some of them even start to scheme about how they could sell this information about dark slate to others and profit from it. But they didn't dare to show it on their face.

However, Gordon's next word made everyone's heart go stopped, literally!

"I'll reward everyone with… Death!" 

A total of 127 gray light streaks abruptly shot toward everyone's heart, shattering them completely! 

Everyone died with their eyes wide open as they were filled with incredulity and abhorrence for Gordon! 

Ace looked calmly at those dead bodies, he knew from the start Gordon would never let them leave this place alive, especially not after learning about the 'technique'. 

Gordon nonchalantly looked toward Ace and smile meaningfully, he put all those fifty rings inside Ace's ring in his hand and throw it toward Ace without even caring about if Ace would go back on his words since he had clearly just shown his might. 

Ace's eyes were fixed on Gordon's, he was closely watching if Gordon would make a sudden move he would quickly take out the black page, but Gordon just stand there without even twitching. 

Ace finally caught the ring and put it on his finger, and all those fifty rings entered his thief's space the very next moment. 

The very next moment thereafter, the system's voice enter his mind which was like a voice of a goddess at his time.

However, before the system could complete the announcement, Ace quickly transmitted in a hurry, "Cut the crap, we have all-time in the world after I escape this old monster, quickly complete your damn upgrade and active the shop!" 

Ace has put all his hopes on the system after his plan of tricking Gordon into giving him the treasure mountain was to succeed. He was planning on instantly raising his stealth and lightning steps with those pills in the system shop, and then playing a game of hide-and-seek with Gordon until the talisman time was run out!   

However, what he never expected was the system's next words would instantly send him to the pits of hell!

Ace was gobsmacked by the series of notifications and only snapped out his stupor when he saw the twenty-four-hour ticking clock!

Ace suddenly felt his heart stop, and he thought listlessly, 'You Traitorous System, you fucking played me to death!'
