Eternal Thief-Novel

Ace exited the Weston Villa and decided to stroll around the prince manor territory since he wasn't able to scout it completely last night. Furthermore, he was in a good mood after fooling Braxton.

Ace suddenly spotted two young men with a pile of papers seemingly in a hurry. They were coming from the manor's direction and he couldn't help but wonder about those papers. Just a while ago he also saw the same size of paper in Braxton's hands.

"You two fellow brothers please wait." Ace shouted at those two young men.

Those young men were in a hurry because their mission was to post these wanted posters throughout the city. But when they spotted Javier was walking towards them cold sweat broke out and their complexion turn horrible.

They clearly know this young master 'fame' and are afraid of offending him so they stop and pray that he could let them walk away without any ominous demands.

Ace saw those two ashen complexions and sigh inwardly. He has somewhat used it now and asks, "What are these papers?" Since those papers were upside down he can't see what was on them.

Those two didn't delay and quickly give a wanted poster to Ace and said one of them before escaping, "Young Master, this a wanted poster of a thief and the order came right from the Grand Prince, to post them all around the city. So, we have to leave, Please forgive our rudeness, farewell."

Ace didn't stop them and turn the wanted poster curiously to see just who this thief was that even Grand Prince was taking note and even posting these posters around. After all, he was also a thief, and encountering another one made Ace's a little bit enthusiastic.

But when Ace saw the picture on the wanted poster all the colors on his face drain because it was him three years ago! 

Although, he was now mature and change from all those years ago, however, it was no doubts him! 

Ace's breath becomes a little rough but he still controls his emotions and reads the entire slogan below his picture. Ever since he built the foundation of darkness Ace had better control over his sentiment and was quite calm and collective. But his complexion turns quite ugly after reading the rewards.

He mutters gravely, "It's that bitch fault! But why is this Grand Prince is involving himself into this?" 

Ace easily trace it back to Dulce since she was the only one who saw his face that night and her kingdom name was in it that confirmed his guess.

But alas, he wasn't powerful enough to do so and the time was also not in his favor on that day.

Ace takes a deep breath to soothe his nerve and chase after those two young men. He has to find out just how many people know about this and this Grand Prince's role in all this.

"Hey, you two stop right there!" Ace wasn't in good mood anymore and right now he was somewhat using the harsh tone just like Javier.

"Javier! You Sick Pervert who hell do you think you are? Stopping someone from doing the important mission, are you revolting against the prince manor!?" An enraged roar sounded at this moment. 

"Why are you here?" Ace yelp abruptly.

There was standing a normal-looking young man with black eyes and hair. There was a fingernail size mole on his nose tip. How could Ace forget about this fellow this was Bill that he meets and dine with just two days ago!

Bill was confused by this idiotic question of Javier and snorted, "What do mean why I'm here? This Prince lives here! This is my fucking house. You two go don't listen to this sick fuck anymore."

It was even bigger news than him being wanted!

Because Ace knew the Grand Prince live here with a Young Prince that was supposed to be his successor but he didn't dream that this happy-go-lucky guy was the prince of a kingdom like Luminous!

Ace quickly control himself and again become like Javier but there was still clear shock in his eyes. 

Those two young men have long been escaping after receiving confirmation from the young prince and even this sick guy can't do anything to them now.

"Y-You're a prince?" Ace couldn't help but ask again for confirmation.

Bill frown, "Did you head kick by a donkey? You didn't even recognize this Prince and not even greet me?"

"Oh, my apologies Prince." Ace was still not clear-headed after receiving so many shocks and finally slip!

Bill's eyes widened, "Yo… you really apologies??"

Ace instantly know his mistake and cursed his stupidity. He quickly makes an arrogant face and said sarcastically, "Do you really believe that I would say that to a shorty brat like you??" He insults Bill with whatever came to his mind first and felt a little sorry about it.

Bill begins to tremble after hearing 'Shorty Brat' this is his biggest taboo and no one dares to scold him like this and all the doubt about Javier vanish and turns into fierceness. He even forget about what he was going to do.

"JAVIER! Say it again if you dare!" 

Ace knew he has somewhat offended this guy and felt even more sorry about it but he can't expose himself, "What will you do kill me? The son of Head Butler?" Now he could only use the status of Braxton to make Bill back down.

Just as he expected Bill instantly pacifies a bit hearing about Head Butler. Although he was a prince, his status was not equal to one and he can't even punish a mere butler's son openly. 

"Fine, You Win!" Bill has learned when to back down and know he can't get even with Javier inside the prince manor.

Ace didn't want to talk with Bill like this since he didn't want to clash with him and wanted to go somewhere where he could get more information about this wanted poster.

Ace asked haughtily while waving his own poster at Bill, "Do you know where this poster came from. The rewards are quite to my liking." He licks his lip passionately to show he was very interested in the rewards, not the person.

When Bill saw the poster, Ace felt Bill's soul become chaotic and anxiety fill his face. Ace was quite astonished by it. 

"I-I don't know shit about a petty thief." Bill was clearly a little panicked first but still said, "And you want the rewards? Just don't die first now fuck off! This prince has other matter." 

Bill didn't wait for Javier's answer, he was not in the good mood from the moment he saw this wanted poster.

Because he knew who the young man was from the moment he laid his eyes on the portrait, especially those dark blue sky-like eyes. This was his new rich friend that he made just two days ago, Asher! 

Bill was very shocked by this and thought this was some other person but when he looked carefully this was really his new mysterious friend. He thought this was some kind of joke destiny is played on him and nearly has a stroke. He didn't talk much with Ace before but clearly knew he wasn't a bad person either.

Bill truly felt that this guy is different from others and that's why he was going outside to find Asher before anyone else and even help him escape the city safely. After all, he calls him a friend and Bill takes this quite seriously but just so happened be encounter Javier in his way.

Ace didn't stop Bill anymore and let him leave. He wanted to confirm exactly this! Because he knew if anyone who could recognize him would be Bill!

Because Bill was the only one who interact with him for the longest and knew Ace was in the Luminous City at this moment. He wanted to see if this guy would open his mouth and sell his friend for wealth.

But Ace clearly felt Bill was anxious after seeing his wanted poster. This made Ace felt some warmth in his heart and his impression of Bill become quite better.

But now was not the time to dwell on it, he has to find out the gravity of this situation and lay low for time being.

It was also a blessing that he already changed his face or someone might've really recognized him!
