Eternal Thief

Chapter 950  Dreadful Beggar

"O' Lord Immortal, please have pity on this little thrall and grace me with your benevolence!" Ace was taken aback when he heard those words since it was a first for him. If he didn't know better, he might really take this man as an ordinary beggar. But it was neither the place nor a situation where a beggar would appear right in front of him. So, there was only one possibility he could think of, and that was this person knew about the treasure chest before, but he couldn't go in and was waiting here for this opportunity. As for how long, he had no idea, and it made this person even more dreadful! Still, Ace wanted to know who this person was, so he didn't immediately escape and asked coldly, "Who are you?" The beggar remained unperturbed as he didn't lose his posture and replied in a pitiful tone, "I'm just a little thrall who is alive because of others' benevolence, milord!" Ace narrowed his eyes, and he waved his sleeve, and the next moment, the bronze bowel was filled with sparkling peak-grade-7 Qi stones. "Here, I think it should be enough benevolence for you," Ace stated, but he didn't move and only stared at the beggar. However, something amazing happened: the Qi stones suddenly turned into countless particles, and the beggar remained unmoved as he again wailed, "Oh Lord Immoral, this pitiful one doesn't need worldly riches. Please bestow this little one something to fill his stomach." Ace squinted his eyes, and he again waved his sleeve, and this time the bronze bowl was filled with Qi fruits. However, again, those Qi fruits turned into particles, and the beggar wailed again, "This little thrall didn't dare to taste such delicacies! Just a signal seed would be enough to fill my wretched stomach!" This time, a strange charm was mixed in his tone, which could bewitch anyone. But Ace's mind remained unaffected because of his heavenly Qi and first authority of darkness. 'Finally showing his fox tail. He really knew about the Seed of Timeless Chaos Tree. Just who is he?' Suddenly, Ace's lips curled in a cruel smile, and he decided to try something before running away.

The next moment, the surroundings begin to turn dark as he activates the lawless darkness. This time, the unmoved beggar quivered as his head suddenly moved and stared right into Ace's hooded head, and two torched-like eyes shimmered fiercely, wanting to see through him. "Impossible!" A signal appalled word came out from his mouth. He seemed extremely afraid of the darkness being released by Ace. "It's this little one fault to offend Lord Immortal. I'll repent in the abyss!" The next moment, the beggar's entire figure turns ethereal before he completely fades away. He had escaped the lawless darkness! n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Ace was even more startled by this since it was his first seeing someone escaping from his first authority of darkness. He was under the impression that it was impossible to escape this authority, yet this guy was extremely quick to escape the moment he sensed lawless darkness. Ace's expression was grim as he stopped using the lawless darkness and looked at the fate map. There was nothing there, and his surroundings were as normal as they could get. 'Who the hell was he?' He was not very happy about this development since this could be a fatal disaster for him if someone like this beggar could appear unnoticed and even escape his lawless darkness. Furthermore, Ace had a feeling that the beggar knew too much, and he might even know who Ace truly was and now that he knew he had the Seed, he might not give up. After all, the other party took the risk of exposing himself in front of Ace and bluntly demanded the seed. In the end, Ace felt insecure and decided to use his divine trait to teleport directly into his avatar's soul space. Just as Ace's figure vanished, the Beggar appeared in the same position again, and the next moment, he vomited a large amount of blood!

He muttered hoarsely, "This… how did he get an authority of myths? And this teleportation was also not typical space teleportation, there was no space fluctuation nor any traces of formation. Did someone go wrong this time out of the Supremacy calculation?

"I can't use my power in the mortal sky. Just hiding from that authority greatly wounded me. I was supposed to find and bring back the seed, yet I failed since that degenerate hid it using another heavenly treasure, and now, of all the people, it fell into the hands of the new generation of Heaven's Stealer… "I need to escalate my plan and go back to report it. This generation of Heaven's Stealer is too strange…" The next moment, he vanished completely with a hint of dread in his heart as he knew something had gone terribly wrong this time, especially the seed falling in the hands of a Heaven's Stealer, which spelled nothing but a catastrophe for both him and the Supremacy behind him! --- Ace again appeared beside his avatar far from the forest, and his expression was extremely heavy as he still could get that beggar out of his mind since it gave him a terrible, alarming feeling. "System, do you know who that person was?" He tried asking the system and got silent as an answer. He could only smile bitterly since he was expecting it anyway. In the end, he let his avatar continue while he headed in the direction that his fate map was indicating. He was now in even more hurry to complete this mission after encountering that beggar. As for the United Mainland, he didn't have anything here to do. The Union Lord was no longer his enemy or concern since his schemes were useless now that he had already got the treasure the Union Lord was searching for. A few days later, he was again flying over the endless sea while following the fate map. As Ace was searching for the Mortal Sky Heart Empire on this day, he was stopped because he suddenly felt something and quickly looked into his thief's space. At this moment, Eva was surrounded by a ghastly inky mist as the crown-like runes on her forehead were shimmering in crimson light and her aura was rising with every passing second. Her rising aura now covered the entire thief's space, alarming Lillian and woke the sleeping Cyrus. Ace couldn't help but smile with ecstasy, "She's about to breakthrough!"
