Eternal Thief

Everyone presumed that the Sky Stealer Society was founded by outlaws and commoners, however, it wasn't the entire truth. 

Even though almost ninety percent of the people in this organization were outlaws and commoners but the reaming ten percent were people with quite a status in middle-level lands, the highest being a member of some royal family of a second-grade kingdom! 

This ten percent support the organization by providing cultivation resources, techniques, skills, weapons, pills…that's why the organization was growing so smoothly and no one was able to track down the founding members. 

The structure of Sky Stealer Society wasn't complex, there were only six ranks, Sky, Earth, Golden, Silver, Bronze, and Iron. 

Currently, Ten Sky Thieves were also the founding members, fifty Earth Thieves, One Hundred Golden Thieves, five hundred Silver Thieves, A Thousand Bronze Thieves, and thousands of iron thieves. 

Every new membered started with an iron thief rank and with noteworthy contributions to the organization they moved higher in ranks. 

No one knows the identities of Sky Thieves, but they were considered the most powerful members of the organization and were extremely respected by other members.

Furthermore, the Sky Thieves don't declare themselves the leaders and only consider Sky Stealer the true leader of this organization, they called themselves his loyal adherents.     

However, everyone knew without these ten sky thieves there won't be a sky stealer society, nor it could be grown to such an extent, that's why they were as esteemed as the Sky Stealer. 

Today's meeting was an emergency one after the challenge of three giants was surfaced, and this also implicates them as well. 

"Let the meeting between ten Sky Thieves of Sky Stealer Society, began!" A person in a black owl mask, wearing a cloak on the head, sitting at the first chair on the right, beside the golden throne stated. The voice was melodious, clearly belonged to a woman.

"First, Sky Thief, what do think about this abrupt challenge?" asked a tall athletic build person, wearing a brown owl mask, sitting in front of this black owl-mask woman called First Sky Thief.

Everyone in this room had rank from first to tenth, were first being the highest and tenth being the last. It also had special meaning because the true founder of this organization was none other than the First Sky Thief!

Furthermore, it was a woman nonetheless and her background was unknown and no one had ever seen her appearance, but she was the one who bought them all together under one roof and her prowess was no joke either. 

One could even say she was as mysterious as the Sky Stealer himself. 

"It's an obvious trap, Second Sky Thief!" before the First Sky Thief could reply, the person sitting two seats away from the Second Sky Thief answered with a snort. He had an average height and wore a white owl mask.

"I agree." Another woman's voice rang in affirmation. 

"Shut up fools, we all know it's a trap. Let the First Sky Thief speak." A lofty man sitting with his arms crossed reprimanded. 

"Sixth Bandit, who did you call just fool?!" The woman instantly snapped at Sixth Sky Thief as her beautiful emerald eyes turned fears. 

"Stop!" First Sky Thief's cold voice rang again, she wasn't in the mood to joke around.

No one dare to speak anymore and quietly looked toward the First Sky Thief. 

First Sky Thief slowly stood up from her chair and walk beside the golden throne where a dark owl symbol was engraved on its head. Her ocean-blue eyes shimmered with a myriad of emotions, but no one saw them as she quickly hid them and turned around with cold eyes. 

"Even if it's a trap, it also showed us how our supreme leader, Sky Stealer, can even threaten those so-called giants, and now they want to get rid of them by despicable means. 

"However, there is something wrong since Nightmare Ghosts Organization is also taking part in this facade. It's either they're too afraid of Sky Stealer or there's someone behind all this. 

"Nevertheless, I think, Lord Sky Stealer will go, he won't let the reputation of us thieves sully so easily. That's why I've already decided…" 

First Sky Thief's beautiful eyes narrowed into slits as a sharp aura emitted from her, everyone in the room held their breaths and didn't dare to blink as they looked at her with anticipation. 

She announced sternly, "It's time for Ten Sky Thieves to come in light and our stage will be Golden Hammered Kingdom Capital!"

The very next day, another news released from the Golden Hammered Kingdom, 

The treasure mountain was as authentic as the sky and anyone could see it from a mile away, many people saw it with their own eyes, and they could even visit it personally to check if it was an illusion. 

Many people do so in the watchful eyes of three giants, and they were shocked because everything was real. 

They say the treasure mountain was hundreds of meters tall, filled with Qi stones, techniques, pills, weapons, beast eggs, herb, and many things that one can't even imagine. They were many things that these people didn't even hear about before in that treasure mountain. 

The most shocking thing was, the treasure mountain wasn't surrounded by thick walls, it was right in an open field! 

Many people confirmed the credibility of this news and treasures mountain. 

Now people wondered if those three giants emptied their treasuries and used them as bait?

And if this was the case, then what has Sky Stealer done to make them take this grave step.   

Now everyone wanted to know if the infamous thief, Sky Stealer would dare to take the treasure, or he'll be a coward! 

This wasn't the end of this hype, because the very next day, Golden King of Golden Hammered Kingdom also join the bandwagon and take all the treasures of his kingdom and put them in treasure mountain in front of everyone's dumbfounded eyes. 

He arrogantly declared, he'll take them back when the 90 days period will over after that cowardly thief yielded!
