Eternal Thief-Novel

Dulce was the fourth Princess of the 'Golden Hammered Kingdom'.

She was in the lands of cities to observe the New Moon City promotion test and evaluate it. She was busy visiting the cities under the New Moon City to finalized if all the conditions have been met for the promotion test.

New Moon City was under the territory of their kingdom and if any city wants to become a country of their kingdom it has to be strictly checked because they want only strong countries. That's why the Princess herself was here to check and observe everything personally.

That's what everyone thinks at least.

Red-Mountain City was one of the cities under New-Moon City and the last city that Dulce was checking. She deliberately chose this city for last. Because she has another motive to come here.

Before her goal would be complete there were still some days remain. So, she was strolling around the city because she was bored.

Unexpectedly she bumps into an idiot (Asher) who doesn't want his life. First, she wanted to kill him but after seeing his arrogance she changes her plan and decided to torture him.

But when she saw him using her Kingdom Mortal-Grade Skill it provokes her murderous intent. It was only a low-level skill but it was still her Kingdom's skill so she wanted to find out where he learned that skill in this kind of barren place.

If not for that 'Thing' here she would've never come personally and witnessed her kingdom's skill.

The crowd around them has become too big so she takes Asher into custody. She used a Green-Ranked Pill 'Utter Truth Pill'. This pill can even force the cultivators of Qi Foundation Building Realm to answer any question truthfully even if they didn't want to.

Asher tells everything about the skill. After knowing where the true culprit was she didn't delay and leave for River-Flower City to Kill the entire Grant family for their 'capital crime'.

But when she enters the city she heard about the stories of 'Thousand Hands Ghost' and how he robbed both families on the same day.

She becomes fascinated and curious about that little thief. She soon finds out that the thief has vanished after he robbed both families. they were still searching for him and the entire city was on lockdown.

Asher was also with her and when he saw Ace and Black Fox's portrait and hear about what they has done to both of his families. His complex becomes extremely ugly. He immediately knew that Black Fox and Ace has tricked him into going out of the city.

Now he finally understands why he can't find that little bastard even after searching for so many days because he wasn't there in the first place.

Dulce ignore Asher who was fuming with anger. She immediately enters the inner city. With her two bodyguards beside her, she was the most powerful person inside this city. She easily reached the Grant family and Rylan who was still searching for Ace high and low was captured by her like a rat.

She gave Rylan who was beaten like a dog the Utter Truth Pill.

After the pill takes effect Rylan starts to tell the truth about how he killed an expert from a kingdom because of his greed and his storage ring. He even tells all the names of the techniques and skills that were inside the storage ring.

Dulce's complex turns ugly after she heard the truth because the expert Rylan killed was from her Kingdom. She read some reports that some experts were once dispatched to kill a traitor but they never come back alive. She didn't expect that one of them has meets his end in hands of this trash.

"You know what you have done right and the consequences of killing someone from my Kingdom. You even practice the techniques and skills without permission from us. Now the storage ring is in the hand of a little thief and all the skills and techniques are in his possession. I hereby declare that the Grant family execution and the entire River-Flower City will be raised to rubbles and every living being inside the city will be killed without mercy.

"Captured the city lord and that Kelby family Head as well they can be used as slaves. After killing everyone check every corner of the city I want that so-called 'Thousand Hands Ghost' alive." She gave her command in a dominating voice.

This was the consequence of turning against the rules that were set by the people in power. No one can break them if one didn't have the power.

Rylan thinks that since it was in a two-star city no one would ever come here and carefully controls the skill that he shows in public. He just wanted to reinforce his family's power with that mortal grade skill, when the time comes to fight for the position of the city lord they would be his greatest asset. He didn't even tell the skill name to anyone. He only let his most trusted subordinates learn it.

But he never would've imagined that a little boy would steal his ring under his nose. The funniest thing was it was not the boy who alert the kingdom but the culprit was his own grandson who was apple of his eye.

Even if he has that ring, he would still get caught by this young girl because of his idiot grandson.

After Dulce gives her order, the massacre of the entire River-Flower City begun!

Present Day. Inside Dulce Courtyard,

"Gentlemen from the River-Flower City, oh I should be called it former River-Flower City now. well whatever, look at this young handsome boy portrait it was just made today." Dulce giggles as she showed them Ace's portrait.

All four of their heads were low, and their eyes were listless. They didn't have the energy to even blink their eyes. The four guards who were standing behind them grab their hair and straight their heads so they can see the portrait.

They all grunt in pain when their heads were move. The first reaction of all four of them when they see Ace's face was not much. But after some time they start to think that the face was looking extremely familiar, especially Asher, Sumyan, and Rylan.

They finally remembered this face because this was the face they see countless times in their nightmares and it was all because of this face that they were in this kind of situation. They all think of tortured the owner of this face millions of times and drink his blood and eat his flesh.

Kylan was the first one to react and there was extreme hatred, grievance, and killing intent in his listless eyes he screams on top of his lungs, "IT'S HIM! THAT THIEF BASTARD!"

Just like Kylan, Asher and Sumyan start to curse out loud. They didn't know how they got the energy but their fists were clenching tightly and they were grinding their teeth in hatred.

On the other hand, Mathias was very calm and he didn't curse like others and there was no hatred in his eyes at all, on the contrary, there was surprised, reverence, and a peculiar look, but there was not a shred of hatred. But his expression was hidden extremely well and no one can see it.

Everyone knows that he didn't talk much. Even when his whole family being slaughter in front of his eyes he never uttered a single word.

Even Dulce thinks that his old man has gone mad after seeing all his city being destroyed so she didn't pay much attention to him all this time.

"Ok gentlemen, now you see your city little rising star is here and I'll give you a chance to get your revenge. We'll start the show tonight and you all are the opening actors." Dulce said as she claps her hands together. She gives them four healing pills with a double mysterious pattern engraved on them, they were green-grade pills.

They all eat those healing pills and their wounds start to heal at an alarming rate. This is the power of Green Grade Pills.

Except for Mathias the others, three were in high spirits they didn't even think about running because they didn't even have any place to run.

They just wanted to avenge their families or wanted to take Ace into the underworld with them. They were ready to be killed or kill this time but they were determined to capture that thief!

The storm was finally ready!
