The Royal Leap City of Leap Kingdom.

The city was bursting with activities like usual, but if someone was a local, they could tell there was something strange going on because the city was filled with patrolling guards. If someone caused even a little bit of commotion, that person will instantly detain with no question asked.

The city gates were also tightly closed, and no one could enter without a thorough inspection of their belonging including storage rings and even their appearances were analyzed with different scanning treasures.

This was going on for over a month now, and it was all started after the incident of earthen mist forest.

Some people believe all this security was because the Leap King was afraid of someone, while others believed this security against the newly rising organization, Sky Stealer Society.

Speaking of which, just about a week ago, the Sky Stealer Society finally made a move after its founding. They robbed a dukedom of a 2nd-grade kingdom which was ranked 28th in the kingdom's ranking!

However, they weren't as slick as their 'Lord', Sky Stealer, in the end, they were noticed by guards, and they caught five of their members.

But, they still managed to theft the entire treasury of the dukedom because the guards weren't able to recover stolen treasures. Furthermore, the confined members instantly commit suicide so no one can get the information out of them.

They even used the same type of owl symbol that Sky Stealer used and imprint it on the treasury wall of that dukedom's treasury. But it wasn't as vivid as the real thing and cruder, but no one cared though, as long as it was a dark owl.

The owl somehow becomes the symbol of Sky Stealer now!

This news rocked the entire middle-level lands, and every noble knew things were slowly going out of their hands if they didn't stop this organization of thieves.

But all of their efforts were in vain, and they could only increase securities around their domains and fume, nothing else.

At this moment, a tall and athletic, handsome man, in a royal blue long trench coat was sitting in the Jade Pavilion of Leap City.

Seemingly, he was in his early thirties, with dark blonde, long hair, 6 feet height, and light blue eyes shining with brilliance.

Currently, on the handsome face of this tall man, a faint frown could be seen as he looked at a dossier.

On the cover of this dossier were three words, 'Sky Stealer Society'.

'Sigh…' A gentle sigh escaped his mouth before he muttered under his breath,

"Just when did I form such an organization? And why the hell they're using my name and thief symbol, just create your own if you want one!

"

This handsome man was apparently Ace in his face 5 disguise of that purple assassin, without his mask of course.

He entered the leap city just two days ago and when he was strolling around the city he heard about this new organization which had his name.

This obviously draw his attention and after some investigation and buying some information from an information broker, he was astonished by these people who founded this organization of thieves.

He never thought he would one day 'inspired' so many people to walk the path of a thief, and those members seemed quite faithful to their cause as well.

Although, he didn't mind other people using his name to create a thief organization since it will only increase his fame.

But when he learned people dying and most of them were youngsters because of this meaningless cause, this made him uncomfortable since they were following his footsteps.

Ace had complicated emotions about this organization and those people joining it, even if he wasn't the one who founded this organization, he was the cause and this entire organization idolize him like some hero.

"Who would've thought, people want to become thieves of their own free will and I started all this. Sight…

" Ace sighed bitterly,

"Well, it's not my problem, since they started all this, they can handle the consequences. As long as they didn't interfere with me, they can do whatever they want for all I care.

"

Ace's eyes turned sharp as black lightning shot out from his finger and cover the entire dossier like a cocoon and when he retracted it, the dossier was completely turned to ashes.

After enjoying his lunch in Jade Pavilion, he 'refiled1' his Jade Wine Flask and left toward the exit gate of the city since he was already done with his purpose here.

Ace had already collected the information he needed from the Leap City, and this was also the reason for stopping here. He got quite useful memories from this purple assassin, like locations of information brokers and black markets.

Their network was quite wide and this cover entire middle-level lands. As long as you had a password and money, you can buy any type of information or even a person's information if you had the correct identity.

Even Ace had to admit this network was quite useful, especially for assassins.

If those ghosts know their secret network was benefiting Ace now, they would undoubtedly call him shameless and a thief, which he already was, so he didn't care as long as he got what he required.

Money was the only number for Ace now!

After two days, at night,

The beast city was a few tens of miles south of Royal Leap City.

The Beast City was quite large, but it wasn't as large as the leap city, but it was still magnificent with many towering beast statues around the city.

Only organization members could enter this city and only guests who had invitations can step inside and without it, even the Leap King had to go right back from where he came from!

In the center of the Beast City was the Beast Manor where the overseer of this place lived, a peak stage Qi river Beastmaster!

Inside the Beast Manor, it was quite large and only servants and some beast masters could enter this place.

However, unbeknownst to those beast tamers, someone has already infiltrated the Beast Manor without alerting the guards or ticking the alarm or any formation.

Who could it be, but Ace, who was here for the Beast Calling Organization Treasury!

Ace meticulously probed the old beast master's memories without even alerting him, it was also quite easy since he found him strolling around the manor's garden!

He already collected information about this old beastmaster from leap city and know his face since he was quite famous.

Now, Ace was already moving toward the treasury area.

Ace stopped outside a deeply hidden room, but he didn't open the door or even look at it as the matter of fact, and only squatted.

With no delay, Ace's finger shimmer as pressed on the ground and dip in the solid ground like it was made of water. The very next moment, a clicking sound rang, and a circular metallic door appeared beneath his feet!

'Heh, at least they were creative about it…' Ace sneered mockingly and opened the underground door.

There was a metal ladder going underground after he descended the ladder he reached an underground corridor lit with white light and at the end of this corridor was a two-meter golden door!

With a faint smile, Ace moved toward the golden door. Just like before, he used his treasure-opening hands and the golden door opened!

Inside, were a thirty-cubic-meter spacious room filled with Qi stones, pills, manuals, weapons, and there was something new this time, he saw a shelf at the very end of this treasury, and it was filled with colorful eggs!

Ace's eyes narrowed, as he examines those colorful eggs with his white pupils, because of soul-shattering eyes, and was a little astonished because of faint life fluctuations coming from those eggs!

'Well, what do you expect from an organization that deals with beasts? I wonder if I can incubate those eggs and tame them like those beast tamers!'

Ace's eyes shimmered with expectation as he looked toward those eggs and then his eyes shifted towards those manuals which were related to beast taming since they were stored in this treasury!

With no further pause, he start 'working' and after five minutes the entire treasury was 'shinning clean'.

Ace saw the dark owl mural emerging, but there weren't any letters between its wings, which means it wasn't middle-level thievery.

======

Slightly disappointed, he left the treasury after closing every door carefully.

Now, without entering this treasury, no one could tell it was already empty!

Just as he entered the Beast Manor with no hindrance, he left in the same manner as well.

However, Ace didn't stop for a stroll and left the Beast City and goes toward his next target, the Flame City, which was half a day's walk from this place!
