Eternal Thief

Layla was flabbergasted by this sudden turn of events and pour even more qi in those strange dark rings. But no matter how much she searches she can't find that strange Qi wave again. 

Suddenly a strange uneasiness appeared in her calm heart and quickly sprint towards the area where she felt that Qi first time. In seconds she reached there be couldn't found anything strange. 

At this moment a huge dome-like barrier appeared around the whole luminous city that locked it completely. Now no one can go out or come inside the city without Layla's order. 

It was the handy work of Zelda, they have quite a few powerful helpers here and since the search for the thief was stop just a few days ago they have even spare. That's why this barrier has appeared instantly. 

Layla deeply looked at the tightly shut city gate and knit her brows tightly. 'Is he escape before I caught up? No, some petty thief can't possess this kind of skills.' 

But quickly discard the notion, 'Besides no one can escape my 'Apparition Wave Rings'! It must be my imagination. I should keep searching. Now that the city is locked let's see where that thief can escape!'

Layla quickly forget about that strange Qi Wave and thought it was just her being too concerned. Because those rings in her hands were a 7-Start weapon and it was also engraved with 6-Mortal Runes Symbols! 

How could someone here have this kind of skill to render this kind of treasure useless? That's why Layla didn't even check the outside city herself and only give a few peak qi foundation realm experts order to scout the area. 

Layla's main focus was still the city, she wanted to teach that arrogant thief a painful lesson for provoking her with those infuriating words.

This whole night, the luminous city was bursting with activates.

The residents of the city saw a shining transparent dome on the city and think it was some kind of natural phenomenon since most of the people here were mortals. 

But soon everyone finds out that something big has happened because strange black clothes men came out of nowhere and go into every house and search every nook of it. 

This was not the end after checking the house they scan everyone with a golden mirror and after confirming their identity crystals they simply leave with gloomy eyes. 

Dion was also searching for the thief after all his freedom depends on it, he didn't even go to the library to punish Aspen who was now scared shitless seeing the entire treasury gone. Dion leave that matter for later, that thief was more important though.     

Vance was also searching franticly because seeing all those black cloth men all around the city he knew if he wanted to find that thief first he had to be more careful and do it before anyone else. He even borrowed that golden mirror from Zelda who give it away casually. 

Zelda knew the city was now under their control and this old man can't escape so she didn't have any objection to using this old man as well to search for the Blood Rose and that thief. Besides this mirror has a location array engrave on it so she was worried even less.

Layla on the other hand continuedly using her treasure but still didn't find any suspicious Qi Wave and a trace of panic could be seen in her eyes. 

'Just which hole that rascal crawl into!' She thought in impediment.

When the whole city was bursting with activity the only person who was enjoying the wine was Bill! 

Bill has been released from prison just an hour ago and go straight to find Javier but found he was missing and instantly guess his friend is gone and felt somewhat sad. 

But when he heard the news that the entire city was on lockdown and everyone is searching for someone Bill instantly guess that Ace has struck and even successfully escape all those old geezers.

He laughs at that time and begun to drink like crazy, if not for its looks quite suspicious he would've gone to the jade pavilion for celebration.

Bill grin widely when he remembered Ace little note that he left for him before he leaves, 

+++++++

'My thief name is 'Sky Stealer' if possible just spread it as far as you can.'

+++++++

'Don't worry brother Asher I'll make sure everyone knows about this name.' Bill thought while grinning. 

-----

When everyone was going crazy over the whole luminous city situation and finding the thief with their different motives in mind, far, far away from the low-level lands.

Inside a luxurious golden chamber, a handsome young man wearing lavishing robes in his twenties was sitting crossed-legged with eyes tightly closed like a peaceful statue. 

He has a sturdy tone built with long black hair and his pale face was very handsome, but suddenly his eyes sprang opened and he deeply frowned. His eyes were full of fiery vigor but there was a hint of fury in them as if he was infuriated for some reason.

He quickly exits the laving chamber and goes towards another room not so far away from his own and said, lightly, "Father, you son here has something very important to report."   

An aged peaceful yet commanding voice resounded from the room, "Enter."

That young man quickly enters the room, inside was pitch black without even a trace of light and no one could see if there was someone here or not.

But the young man didn't seem to be fazed by it and quickly said, "Father my connection with them ----- is broken somehow." 

"Hmm?" That aged voice seems to be surprised by this quite a bit, "Those ants didn't have guts to revolted again after I teach them a lesson eight hundred years ago" 

The aged voice owner seems to remember something before saying, "You can go there and investigate the matter yourself since you're not a kid anymore. It will also be a kind of experience for you."

The young man didn't dare to disobey and quickly agree to it, "I will not disappoint you, Father."

"Good, remember ----- is very important for you in coming Thousand Years Hunting Selections. If anyone dares to even look at it kill them without mercy!" 

"I understand" 

After the young man left two glowing beastly eyes sprang open in the dark chamber as a whispering noise rang, "Even my connection with it broken. But how is that possible, should I go investigate myself?"

---------

Three days passed in flashed and the Luminous City finally unlocked and return to its daily routine. But the peace didn't last long because a piece of shocking news was revealed to the public.

A thief has robbed the whole treasury of prince manor and shockingly that thief was the same thief whose wanted posters were quite famous one month ago! 

Everyone thought that this thief's guts have reached heaven to dare to even steal from a kingdom. This thievery mark as the biggest heist of the low-level lands!

From some unknown source the name of the thief also knows to the public, 'Sky Stealer', and no one knows who was the person who spread that name but it gains quite popularity in hours and now everyone knows about the Young Sky Stealer.

On the other hand, the group that was searching for the thief was quite depressed and gloomy.

Especially Layla, even after showing herself can't find that thief and those words left behind by that thief become stabbing knife in her heart and the name sky stealer engrave in her memories as his appearance! 

She vowed to find that rascal and returned the humiliation thousand folds.

Dion ends up becoming the biggest loser because he loses the entire treasury under his damn nose. This was a huge blow to his reputation and everyone was laughing at him in secret. Well, he didn't know what was coming for him in the future because he has lost something he shouldn't have!

Vance finally gave up every hope and simply decided to return to the kingdom and exchange some resources with the information about the thief and that scroll he possessed about Blood Rose.

This was his last resort and with it, he would gain some benefits but also let that thief matter in the hands of Pill Flame Organization!  It will also quail some hatred in his heart. 

After all, possessing a legendary herb was not easy especially if there is an organization like Pill Flame, out there. He never reports this because he wanted the whole benefits by giving the real thing to them and this was the same case for Zelda as well.

But contrary to Vance, Zelda didn't give up nor did the power behind them because blood rose aside just that thief's skills and that space treasure in which he stored the entire treasury with those big sleeves was enough to keep them going. 

Another mass search of the entire western lands begun with it and Layla did it herself this time. Because they knew for sure that thief can't escape from the low lands!
