Eternal Thief-Novel

While Ace was completely engrossed in his training and raising the levels of his skills and new techniques, without even caring about the outside world.

Noa was currently hiding in a large carriage, which was carrying some large boxes outside the city. She reached this point after she followed Ace’s orders and approach the shop owner, he told her.

Just as Ace said after she told the secret password to the shop owner, he only charged her a ‘small’ fee, and without asking any further questions, he prepared this carriage for her.

Noa was hiding inside one of the large wooden boxes inside the carriage. However, her box was engraved with small symbols from inside which were hiding her presence!

She didn’t dare to release her martial sense because these runes can’t hide it, and she can only wait for the carriage to pass the city gates.

After an unknown time, the carriage halted,

‘Tap, tap…tap tap…”

When Noa heard this special taping sound, she knew her stop has arrived!

She quickly opened the box and vigilantly exited from the back of the carriage.

Outside, a tall, plump demon with blue horns was beaming at Noa when she disembarked from the carriage.

“Miss, we’re already at the edge of the iron forest.” He said with a hint of pride.

“You did well.” Noa coldly nodded without a hint of emotion in her eyes.

She waved her hand and a pile of high-level Qi stones appeared on the ground.

“Hahaha, it’s nice doing business with you, my Lady!” The plump demon grin while showing his white beastly teeth as he quickly stored that pile of Qi stone in his storage ring.

“Remember, my caravan passed from here every week at dawn. If My Lady wants a trip back… be on time!”

After uttering, the plump demon again embark on the carriage and left without waiting for Noa’s reply. He deals with these kinds of demons on regular bases, so he had vast experience, and he could tell this lady was too dangerous, so he quickly left, afraid to annoy her.

Noa didn’t even spare a second glance at the departing carriage, and after activating her stealth, she vanished into the dense forest with towering trees with large crowns.

Ace had clearly described the hideout of these wolf demon bandits to her and, after she bought a map from the same plump demon, she easily reached outside a well-hidden large cave opening deep inside the forest.

Noa’s eyes shone with elation as she thought, ‘It seemed Leader’s soul search is even more powerful than I imagine!’

She didn’t charge right inside because Ace clearly told her that the leader of these bandits was a very cunning fellow, and he only appeared once in a while in this hideout for collecting the loot or when he planned to loot some caravan.

After she used her marital sense, she only sensed five demons with early Qi river realm cultivation and mused, ‘So, that guy isn’t here yet. I have to wait!’

—

Three more days passed as Noa lay in wait, but the leader, Golden Wolf King, didn’t show up. She only noticed minor movements of those five small fries, nothing else.

—

Just like that, one week passed,

“Where is he?!” Noa mumbled in frustration.

It’s not like she was an impatient person or anything, it’s just that she was anxious about her mission because it only gave her thirty days’ deadline.

Although Ace didn’t set any punishment if she failed but for Noa, this was like cutting off her flesh because her House Points were on the line!

That’s why she was getting annoying, but she can’t do anything about it either since she did not know who this guy actually was and where he was.

‘Really, why did the leader need to enslave this bandit leader?’ Perplexed, she had no answer to this question and only lay in wait.

—

It was deep at night of the tenth day when Noa noticed movement not too far away from her hiding position!

‘Someone is here!’ Noa instantly became alert and completely hide her presence and breath.

Three cloaked figures enter the cave entrance swiftly like blurs. But Noa could clearly see them because of her high cultivation base and specie.

‘Two flowing Qi river cultivators and One peak Qi river cultivator, it should be the bandit leader and vice leaders!’ Noa’s eyes quickly lit up as an icy glint flashed past them.

Wasting no time, she entered the dark cave in stealth, following those three newcomers.

She suddenly heard voices,

“Greeting Leader and Vice Leaders!”

‘So, they’re really my target. Well, I don’t have to be worried anymore!’

A dark, long double edge dagger appeared in her hand as Noa’s eyes were exempt from any emotions. She was nothing, much less, of a grim ripper!

“At ease!” An imposing voice filled with authority rang at this moment. “Our target this time is Daffodil Pavilion’s Caravan!”

The owner of this was clearly the Golden Wolf King, the leader of this small gang of bandits.

“Daffodil Pavilion?! Um… Leader, those guys aren’t easy to deal with!” One of the five bandits spoke timidly.

“Hmph… we, the Demon Wolf Bandits, aren’t afraid of anyone, scram if you’re afraid!” One of the vice leaders sternly proclaimed.

The small fries instantly get on their knees and were about to beg for mercy… however, at this moment, an icy yet scornful voice rang from behind everyone,

“Is that so?”

The leader’s eyes instantly contracted in horror when they heard this icy voice filled with killing intent!

“Intruder!” He barked as he was ready for a huge fight.

However, before the other could react, a dark streak flashed past five bandits and two vice leaders’ throats!

Everything happened in an instant, and the bandit leader only heard seven sounds of something landing on the stone floor before the headless corpses follow suit!

“Too weak!” The same icy voice rang with a hint of disdain.

But in the ears of the bandit leader, it was the voice of his maker!
