Eternal Thief

Chapter 769 Thief Promise Mission



=====

[Thief Promise Mission has been finalized!]

-Do you accept this Thief Promise Mission and pay your dues?

-Yes/No

[NOTE: If you chose No, this will not end the Thief Promise!]

=====

Ace looked at the interface and then at Thomas, who was still kneeling in front of him. Truth be told, it would be a lie to say that after hearing about Thomas’s tragedy, he wasn’t angry or felt pity for him.

Yet, as someone who has been doing all sorts of crimes for his own sake and making all kinds of enemies that wanted him dead or skinned him alive more than anything else, he knew better than anyone that the path of revenge was something that led to even further misery.

Nevertheless, Thomas was one of the few people he cared about, and he had helped him in the past, so he was not going to back away from his pleas.

“Alright, I’ll help you avenge sister-in-law. Now can you please stop kneeling if you still consider me a real friend?” Ace said solemnly before he accepted the mission.

The moment he accepted it, the system interface changed!

=====

[Thief Promise Mission: Thomas Wild Cheveyo had lost his wife, Milly Wild Cheveyo, and now wanted to avenge her death by killing every and any demon who has been responsible for it!]

-Request of Beneficiary (1): Free Thomas from Soul Contract!

-Request of Beneficiary (2): Help Thomas mend his dying body and soul!

-Punishment will be inflicted if Thomas dies before the Thief Promise Mission is completed!

[NOTE: Thief Promise Mission has no reward or time limit!]

=====

Ace looked at the mission and wasn’t much surprised by the requests. However, what happened next made Ace’s eyes widen with astonishment because the system interface suddenly changed again.

=====

[Heaven’s Stealer Mission is currently in the active state!]

[No other mission is as important as the Heaven’s Stealer Mission, but the honor of Thief Promise can’t be sullied!]

[System has made alternations!]

[Thief Promise Mission has been alerted!]

[Thief Promise Mission: Thomas Wild Cheveyo had lost his wife, Milly Wild Cheveyo, and now wanted to avenge her death by killing every and any demon who has been responsible for it!]

-Request of Beneficiary (1): Free Thomas from Soul Contract!

-Price of Completing Request (1): 10 Million Qi Stones (Peak-Grade-6), 1 Million Soul Crystals (Peak-Grade-6), 100,000 Thief Points

-Request of Beneficiary (2): Help Thomas mend his dying body and soul!

-Price of Completing Request (2): 100,000 Thief Points, 100 Million Soul Crystals (Peak-Grade-5), White Holy GrassX3 (Grade-6), Seeds of Dark Thorny LillyX4 (Grade-6), …

[System detects host has all the materials and sufficient thief points to complete both requests!]

[Do you want to continue?]

-Yes/NO

[NOTE: System strongly recommends choosing the alternative prices and completing the Thief Promise so you can focus on the Heaven’s Stealer Mission!]

=====

Ace was speechless when he saw how efficiently the system had given him the solution, like it was just a walk in the park, and wondered if the system liked to torture him if it had this sort of solution all the time but just didn’t want to share them with him.

Thomas finally stood up and no longer kneeled in front of Ace as he was quite moved by Ace’s words. Truth be told, he had little hope that Ace would even agree to help him. After all, he had rejected his invitation to join him when the last time they spoke.

He also wasn’t happy that the person he thought was a close friend turned out to be a thief who was hated by his kind.

But only after experiencing the true face of his kind that he understand that Ace was doing nothing wrong by robbing them of their riches and so-called glory. He even regretted never accepting his offer that day. Who knows, Milly might’ve been alive if he had decided to follow Ace.

However, now all he wanted was revenge, and he wanted to take it himself on top of that. Even if Ace only freed him from the soul contract, he would be very grateful. .

But Ace has accepted both of his unreasonable requests despite owing him nothing.

However, Ace next word shocked him even more when he said, “It seems, brother Thomas, you are in luck. I can help you with both of the matters right here and right now. What do you think?”

“R-really? Is that possible? If you need time or anything, just say so, and I’ll do it.” Thomas replied with disbelief.

Ace shook his head as this matter turned out to be quite easily resolved, and all because of the Heaven’s Stealer Mission. But when he thought about the looming death punishment over his head, he didn’t think system’s abrupt help as generosity. Instead, it was necessary, and this again proved the Heaven’s Stealer Mission’s importance.

Yet, despite all that, here he still wants to save Alina instead of going to the Moon Secret Realm.

Ace didn’t explain more as his eyes went sharp, and he held out his hand, “But before I start, I need you to be in somewhere. But let me warn you first. This will be a dark place where you won’t be able to use your Qi like in fox mountain.

“If I could, I don’t want to put you in there, but this place is about to be destroyed, and trust me, if you decide to stay even with your new-found freedom, you will just be ended up in an even more miserable place than the royal zone not to mention terrifying.

“But I can release you once we are out of here, that much I can promise you, and you can stay and heal in the meantime. So, do you trust me with your life? If yes, then grab my hand and don’t resist.”

Thomas was stumped by Ace’s sudden revelation. But he only hesitated for a moment before he grabbed his hand. He can tell Ace is far more terrifying than he appears to be, and there is no reason to deceive him if he wants to deal with him.

“If there is anyone I can trust right now, I’ll have it rather be you than my own kin.” He solemnly said before he nodded his head, indicating he was ready.

Ace couldn’t help but smile before he pulled Thomas into the thief’s space. But he placed him into the dark prison box in the corner as he didn’t want him to see the rest of the place or meet anyone.

“Alright, system, continue with the alternation process.” Ace sternly commanded before he turned around to walk back into the golden swirl.

Now that Thomas’s matter was over, it was time to take the core and the orb and get the hell out of this damn place!
