Chapter 1162: Devilish Wise Owl Surfaced!
"Well, gentlemen, why don't you come out and tell me why you are following me? Let's chat!"
When George's voice rang, two cloaked figures suddenly appeared at the alley entrance; one of them guffawed, "Hahaha, for an ignorant brat, you sure have a keen sense. Or it's just that you know that you have offended something you shouldn't have, and now you are going to bed for mercy?"
Ace didn't reply right away and instead focused on the two cloaked figures' heads. The next moment, two invisible interfaces appeared on their heads.

[Thief Point Meter: 14,300 Thief Point Available].
[Thief Point Meter: 20,020 Thief Point Available].

"Tsk, not even enough for a Low-Level Thievery. Well, I guess I should expect this much after the system's damn adjustment.' Ace sighed with righteous indignation in his heart.
"It's not the matter of whether I'm going to for mercy or not, but the question is the others who are hiding, aren't you going to come out before these two grab the 'merit'?" George dismissively stated as if those two 2-Star Ascension Soldiers were nothing annoying flies. "Still arrogant and ignorant? I see; it seemed your elders didn't teach you respect. A pity, it's going to be your doom." The other man coldly sneered.
But no one other than these two men stepped forward as if they were still watching to see what George was capable of, especially with his arrogance. These two were clearly cannon folders and the most impatient of the people who targeted George.
However, Ace didn't mind, as his cold smile didn't leave his face, and his fingers twitched slightly at this moment. The next moment, the storage rings around those two cloaked men suddenly vanished without a trace, and an inky symbol started to bloom in their place. But those men still didn't react, as they had no idea what had just happened.
Ace didn't even bother checking the system notifications or the contents of the storage rings he had stolen. What he was paying attention to was that the Qi within his body suddenly churned ever so slightly and increased by a sliver.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although it was minuscule and almost non-existent, Ace was ecstatic since the thing about hastening his cultivation with stealing was legit. Not to mention, he vaguely felt a strange law suddenly stir, but it was so vague that Ace thought it was only an illusion.
Nonetheless, since his thief symbol had already surfaced in the Mortal Ascension Heaven, there was no point in restraining himself anymore. After all, he had done this knowing about the consequences, yet this time, his plan was completely different. The biggest change was that he wasn't going to discard George's identity and hide him for the time being.
"Well, it was nice talking with you. Remember not to provoke others just because of some big wig favor. It's always come to bite back to your ass!" George suddenly laughed with disdain.
"Bastard...wait! Where did he go!" The first person who spoke was instantly enraged, but before he could take action, the 'brat' in front of him suddenly turned translucent before he completely vanished. His presence was completely gone as if he was a ghost!
"I can't sense him!" His partner was equally shocked and fearful. He released a translucent blue Qi that completely enveloped the entire alley, yet he still couldn't find any trace of George.
"Did he use some teleportation treasure to escape?" He muttered with disbelief.
First, he didn't sense any space fluctuation at all since his martial sense was completely locked on George from the start, and he clearly didn't sense any strange movement from the other party. Second, a treasure that could teleport someone without anyone's notice was extremely rare. Even the big wigs of the four guardian sect cities might not have such a luxurious item to spare.
His disbelief turned into greed almost instantly the moment he realized this, and it wasn't just him, his partner, and even those hidden experts who were observing all this time had the same trail of thoughts.
Nonetheless, this still deterred many because it could only mean that George's background was not simple at all, and they started to drop their thoughts about George.
After all, if they unknowingly provoked someone with an even deeper background just for an imaginary favor to please a guy who might not even acknowledge them, they would take serious risk for nothing and instead earn themselves a terrible enemy instead.
However, those guys who were planning to drop the matter didn't know that the 'mysterious brat' wasn't gone at all, and he didn't use any teleportation treasure to escape. Instead, he was using stealth with the Prime Law of Darkness imbued with it, and it was so strong that no one could detect him unless they had powerful detection abilities or spells above his Prime Law! Furthermore, it wasn't just a simple law but an Order!
Furthermore, with his Apparition Wind Walk at level 9 and supported by the enchantment spell Black Tempest at the intermediate stage, his speed could rival a 1-Star Ascension
Warrior!
Using this exact speed, Ace was crossed by the hidden spots of those experts, and as his finger tapped the empty air in rhythm, system notifications rang continuously in his head.
It was like he was playing an instrument, and the system voice was like a tone. It was a strange, harmonious feeling that Ace absolutely enjoyed since his TP and his cultivation were increasing.
Once he was done stealing from 23 more people who were foolish enough to follow George to please Wallace and earn himself around 250,000 TP without triggering any level of thievery, he vanished while those guys were still making up their minds, leaving the irrefutable proof of his existence, his thief symbol.
But they still weren't qualified to know his name, 'Sky Stealer', all because they were
extremely poor.
"Wait! What the fuck is this ghastly sigil!? Where is my storage treasure!?" A sudden shrilled scream suddenly rang around the block, filled with disbelief and horrible anguish.
"What in the actual name of Heaven! Is this some kind of curse!? Who did it? Who stole this old man's treasures!"
"NOOOOOOO... just w-w-w-w-whoooooo?! I'll kill you!"
That peculiar evening, people heard powerful hollered like pigs being slaughtered, from a remote block of the Western Guardian City, and what terrify everyone was those hollered were followed by extremely terrifying auras, the aftermath almost turned the entire block into
ruin.
The City Guards quickly took action against those 'lunatics' before the truth of the matter finally surfaced, which caused a small sensation among a selective class of people!
