Eternal Thief

A few hours ago, when Eva had just entered the thief's space.

Standing in front of the black prison, Eva smiled deviously when she heard a panic-stricken yet threatening voice of Livia.

"I can hear you! Just answer me what is this place, and why do you capture me? Do you have any idea who I am? So, what if you're a little more powerful than me? I demand an audience with Holy Spirit this instant!"

"Who's the Holy Spirit?" Cyrus asked in confusion while standing over Eva's shoulder.

"Some bastard who was courting death." Eva's voice was icy cold.

"I can hear you, you monster! Kill me if you dare!" Livia roared in exasperation.

Eva's expression went cold and exempt from any emotion. Only Ace can draw a myriad of expressions from her, not anyone else. She moved and finally opened the door of the black prison without any worry.

The moment the door was opened, veiled Livia lunged out like a tigress, but Eva was ready and was already sidestepped.

Livia then quickly twisted her slender body and vigilantly looked toward Eva was started when she saw a crown-wearing devilish beauty who was far more beautiful than anything she had ever seen. For the first time in her life, she felt inferior to someone else when it comes to beauty.

"How feisty." Eva chuckled coldly when she saw Livia looking dazedly at her.

Livia was instantly snapped out of her daze with a hint of humiliation in her eyes. She coldly questioned, "Who are you, and what is this place?"

Her Qi was completely suppressed in that dark prison, and she thought it was because the prison was specially made for detaining cultivators. However, now that she was out of that dark prison, she found her Qi was still suppressed as before, which was quite shocking to her.

But what she still didn't understand was why that monster didn't kill her at that time and how he sent her here without even her realizing it. Most importantly, why did he send her here, and was the Holy Spirit also involved in this?

However, this notion was quite absurd since the elves literally revered the Holy Spirit, and schemes were beneath it. Besides, it had never played such a trick before and was always fair.

But now, after being captured and suppressed for days, she was no longer sure anymore, and Eva's appearance added another layer of mystery to the mix.

Eva's lips curled up in an enthralling smile that was not gentle but menacing, "Why are you covering your face? Unveil yourself, and let me see if you're worthy of being my maid. If you're ugly, I'll give you to Cyrus then."

Cyrus instantly retorted in indignation, "No. I don't want an ugly maid as well!"

Eva gave the little guy a side-up before she nodded in understanding, "Alright, if she's ugly, we'll let her be the janitor of this place."

Cyrus instantly fell into contemplated silence as if he was in deep thought while he still had no idea what a maid or janitor was, which made him even cuter in Eva's eyes.

However, the person in question, Livia, was dumbfounded by this conversation as rage started to boil in her heart. She was the Crown Princess of the Wise Elf Race, and no one had ever belittled her like this.

Although Eva was really beautiful, she also had her pride and honor as the crown princess, and she wanted to fight it out with this arrogant woman in front of her. She was so angry she even forgot about special racial traits of Eva as well as the speaking bird.

Instinctively, she tried to use her storage ring, but she soon remembered it was already taken when she was sent to that prison. But because of darkness and her cultivation being suppressed, she wasn't able to see the owl symbol on her finger.

However, now that the thief's space was no longer dark, when Livia suddenly glanced toward her finger, her angry expression froze as her eyes were affixed on her ring finger, or more accurately, on the owl symbol.

Eva also noticed Livia's sudden pause and her eyes affixed on her finger, and she also looked toward it with a somewhat intrigued look.

Eva also noticed the thief symbol and the name written on the owl's wings. Her eyes lit up, 'So, this is the thief symbol he was talking about. How beautiful and unique. I should think about one for myself too. I should use fox or cat, or bird… no, they are not imposing enough…' She thought with a grave expression.

However, her thought process was broken when Livia's stuttering voice sounded, "S-sky… St-Stealer?! Y-y-you're Sky… Stealer?"

Eva noticed the sudden change in Livia's eyes as they shone hysterically and reverently, which rubbed Eva the wrong way.

She squinted her eyes and said coldly, "So, what if I am?"

However, Livia suddenly shook her head and mumbled, "No, it can't be you!"

"Why it can't be me?" Eva was even more baffled by this suddenly changed in Livia's demeanor. She was just about to lunge at her and start a fight, but now she didn't even look furious and more like she was going frantic.

Livia ignored her and looked around frantically like she was searching for something, and she finally noticed all those storage rings scattered in four corners.

"I was right! My guess was right!" Livia's eyes shimmered with brilliance as she shouted in mirth.

Eva was now sure there was something wrong with this woman. She suddenly released her bloodline pressure which wasn't any lower than Cyrus's. It was even a tidbit powerful.

Eva's cultivation wasn't restricted in the thief's space because, like Cyrus or Thief House members, she couldn't even think of harming Ace, and these criteria were set by the system itself.

That's why these people are free in the thief's space while the others are instantly suppressed.

When Livia felt the terrifying pressure descend on her, which was so deadly that she started trembling uncontrollably. This terror was coming directly from her bloodline. It was like she was a firefly standing in front of the sun.

Seeing Livia behaving like a jittery mouse, Eva instantly felt refreshed and nodded in satisfaction. She then coldly said, "What were you yapping about?"

Livia felt the pressure on her halves as she was finally able to breathe. She looked at Eva with fear as she panted. She finally understood just how terrifying this woman in front of her was.

But she was thinking about something else, and this time she spoke in a polite tone, "M-Miss, are you really sky stealer?"

"You fool…" Cyrus was about to spill the beans when Eva quickly closed its beak and meaningfully glanced at the confused little guy, "You talk too much! When adults are talking, children only listen."

Cyrus wanted to say something, but alas, Eva didn't let go of his beak and only gave him an ominous look before he finally stopped struggling.

'She's even scarier than Big Sis, Freya!' He thought seriously and finally decided to behave. Even his big bro was afraid of her, so he should listen to her more.

Eva then finally let go when Cyrus stopped talking and looked at Freya and coldly said, "I'm the sky stealer. Why did you doubt me?"

Livia inhaled sharply, but a hint of regret could be seen in her eyes, but she didn't dare to shock it anymore as she remembered that terrifying feeling of being a mere ant in front of her.

So, she quickly unveiled herself, revealing her peerless face. She bowed slightly and said with mirth, "Miss Sky Stealer, I know it sounds absurd, but I'm your biggest follower in this world, and I would like to learn the art of stealing from you and conquer his entire world!"

Eva was baffled by those words and thought this woman was messing with her. However, when she saw the honest and obsessive looked in Livia's eyes, she knew Livia wasn't kidding at all.

'Don't tell me she was in disbelief before because I'm a woman, and she wanted to seduce my Ace?' Her thoughts instantly went derailed as her aura was spiked again with killing intent shining in her eyes.

Livia, this time fell on her knees with an ashen face; however, Eva felt goosebumps when she noticed the look of mirth in her eyes intensified.

She secretly swore, 'I can't let her even close to him!'

"Are you worthy of learning from me?" Eva coldly spoke as she no longer cared about having fun with her.

Livia ground her teeth as she endured the pressure and said, "I-I was wrong. I'm willing to follow you as your… maid!"

Eva rejected her mercilessly, "You're too ugly to be my maid!"

She was determined to keep her away from Ace as she felt this woman was up to no good and had vile motives.

Although Ace said Livia might be able to save him from some future crisis or whatnot, she first needed to make sure to educate her properly.

However, she underestimated Livia's determination.

Livia wasn't even flustered by this reply as she quickly said, "I know I'm not worthy, but I can be of great use to you because I have a special constitution known as Holy Divination Physique!"
