Eternal Thief-Novel

Chapter 968 Robbing Wild Hungry Pavilion (1)

In stealth, Ace and Eva moved into the depths of Wild Hungry Pavilion. It was extremely large, and after passing the guest area, they entered the private region where only the staff members were allowed.

As for formations protecting this place, they were useless against both of them.

"How do we find what we are looking for?" Eva transmitted her voice through her special connection with Ace.

Ace merely smiled, "Just follow me. Oh, people are comping this way."

Both of them stopped and hid behind an aisle.

Soon, an extremely fat man in white clothes appeared; he was a bald human, and his tiny eyes were almost hidden under his fat face. But his aura was extremely shocking. He was a late law awareness realm expert.

There were a few more men and women following him, and they all wore the same type of clothing. The most distinguishing feature about their getup was the crimson chief knives on his chests. It was the symbol of the Wild Hungry Pavilion.

All of them seemed annoyed for some reason.

"Pavilion Master, those arrogant bastards have gone too far! They dared to remove our guests and meddled in our business, and now they wanted us to greet them personally. The Imperial family is not giving us any face!" A human elder with a long gray beard uttered furiously, and everyone nodded in agreement with them.

Although the Wild Hungry Pavilion wasn't as powerful as the Formation Guild and Alchemy Guild, they were still not to be trifled with. But because of their profession, people from such powers look down on them.

If it was Formation or Alchemy Guilds, they won't even dare to make a large sound even if they were from the imperial family.

"Just bear with it. Sooner or later, we'll overthrow the pricks from the alchemy guild and prove our spiritual cooking is far healthier and more orthodox than their stinky pills filled with toxic." The fate man, who was also the Pavilion Master of the Wild Hungary Pavilion, stated.

However, his eyes turned sinister as he said, "Still, this fourth imperial prick is really hateful. Since he dares to stop our business, they better be ready to pay with their asses and dignity. Sprinkle some fart powder in their dishes. As long as there is no proof, they can't do anything. Who told those bastards to go against me?"

The other's eyes brightened as they smiled wickedly.

"Pavilion Master is wise!" The elder quickly praised him as they walked away.

Eva couldn't help but laugh softly, "How sinister."

Ace also had an odd expression, "I have to admit they really have guts. They even dare to scheme against the imperials. I thought only I was capable of that."

"Heh, stop boosting. Are we robbing them or not?" Eva rolled her eyes.

lightsnοvεl "Of course, we are robbing. However, I might feel bad now since they don't seem so bad anymore. But this is our profession as well. Good or bad, we need to eat, but to eat, we need to earn." Ace righteously stated.

"Shameless." Eva snickered as she followed Ace and felt he was returning to his old self and was no longer stiff anymore which was a good thing. She could tell his mentality had changed as if some huge burden had lifted from his shoulders. He didn't seem reserved anymore.

She was right. Even Ace didn't know that after knowing the truth about his parents, a huge weight had been lifted from his heart since he thought that they had abandoned him back then after sealing his bloodline and didn't want him anymore.The most update n0vels are published on (ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

Although he didn't pay much attention to it, this has become a knot in his heart, turning it cold with time. If not for Eva and Alina, he might have slowly turned into a cruel killer without knowing it.

After passing some corridors, they finally reached a restricted building, and protection in this place was the strongest. That's why he was able to find it.

Both of them directly passed the closed door like ghosts, and once they entered, they appeared in a hall filled with cooking tools and cooking platforms.

"This must be their training area." Eva guessed.

"Oh, there is food in that direction!" Cyrus, who was silent for all this time, finally spoke with excitement.

Ace was surprised because he knew anything considered food by Cyrus was not normal.

Looking in that direction, he saw nothing but a wall, but as a veteran thief, he knew it was a trick door.

Furthermore, it wasn't only a trick door, thought the fate map, he saw there were three more passages hidden in three directions.

"Alright, let's go in this place first." Ace decided to head in where Cyrus pointed first, and Eva followed curiously.

Passing the wall, they appeared in a hidden passage going downward, and the temperature instantly rose.

"What is this place? Such dense fire Qi." Eva was surprised as they didn't feel anything outside at all.

"We'll know once we go down." Ace was also surprised as he headed down with Eva, and he could feel Cyrus becoming more excited as they got closer to this heat source.

The closer they got, the more terrifying the heat. Once they reached their destination, they were surprised when they saw a huge formation drawn in a huge hall, and in the center of this formation was a silvery flame emitting terrifying heat despite being restrained by the formation.

"A spirit fire!" Ace instantly recognized it since it wasn't his first time coming in contact with it. All the spirit fires have special Qi waves, almost as if they were alive, and the silver flames were also the same.

Ace had never expected that he would find a spirit fire in this place. This showed how terrifying the Sky Heart Plains were. In the Golden Sky World, the spirit fire was something fabled and drove people crazy, yet here in a restaurant, they found one, and it was completely restrained.

Spirit Fire was something every alchemist dreamed of having because it could make their refinement easy and more efficient and make it sore. Noa was a perfect example of it. Ace also has one spirit fire in the Spirit Fulcrum Lantern (No.7) he got in the sun realm.

"Food!" Cyrus almost flew off when he saw the silver flame, and Ace quickly grabbed him.

"Slow down. If you eat it like this, we might draw attention." Ace sternly said as he still didn't know the full function of this formation.

Cyrus unwillingly retrained himself, "Then what should we do?"

Eva was also curious about what Ace was planning as it was her first time stealing with Ace. She let him take the lead. She was just happy to be with him.

Ace thought for a moment before a simple solution came to his mind as he smiled thievishly, "I'm going to dismantle this formation, and you grab that spirit fire!"
