Eternal Thief



The third floor of the outer sun domain library was the same as its first two floors. 

Ace's reason for coming here was simple, he entered the cultivation section and said, "I want the cheapest cultivation manual for the Soul river realm." 

Following by a few moments of silence, a white book materialized in front of Ace before the impassive voice rang, "This Focus Soul Cultivation Manual for 3rd realm, its price is 5,000 Union Merits." 

'This is the cheapest?' Ace was astonished as he knew in the mortal domain 5,000 Union Merits were the wealth of a first-class family in the Official Union City.

He had to use some tricks before registering as an official member to collect enough union merits to pass through the ascension stairway. 

Still, the union merits serve no purpose to him as there wasn't anything in the outer sun domain that could probably draw his interest. Even this library only had four floors, so he knew there were not many interesting things there. 

"Alright, I'm buying this manual." He said while taking the book. 

The next moment he felt the union token in his hand heat up before it returned to normal. 

"5,000 Union Merits has been successfully deducted." The voice sounded. 

Ace then suddenly thought of something as he asked, "Are there any sword skills that use the flying sword as its foundation?" 

Since this guy can answer his question, he should probably ask what he wanted to know. The flying sword was quite interesting, and he wanted to further sharpen his own sword path by annexing this unique method of controlling a sword. 

The voice replied. "Yes, Lower Grade Earth Twin Flying Sword Art is a sword art that has the method to control two flying swords to fight. Its price is 1 Million Union Merits." 

Ace's eyes brightened when he heard the first part, while he frowned when he heard the price, which was quite absurd. 

"Thank you." Ace decided to leave as he didn't have union merits to buy that art, so there wasn't any need to waste time. 

But it didn't mean he gave up as his eyes shone thievishly, 'Now that I can change in appearance without being worried about getting noticed by anyone, I should use the same method to collect Union Merits that I used in the mortal domain. But only after unlocking the Heaven's Stealer Mission." 

Ace then exited the library and mounted his flying sword, and flew toward the exit of the cultivation sector since it was not the time to go deep into this place yet. 

However, when he was a few hundred meters away from the ancient building like the one he entranced as it was the only way out or inside, he was forced to stop because six devils on flying swords blocked his way. 

The young devil, who had an aura of a peak foundation-building realm, seemed to be in charge of this group as he was riding at the very front, and he also spoke first with a malicious smile, "Junior, how have you been?"

White dismissively replied, "I'm fine. Now get out of my way." 

The devils' smiles instantly stiffened as they were all startled by this weak human's reaction. They never thought this weak human would not cower before them and even told them to get out of the way like they were the humans and he was the devil. 

"Little Junior, it seems you are new here. Don't you know how to greet your seniors?" Another devil scoffed in disdain. 

"If you don't get out of the way, Lord Union Elder might get impatience and come here to find me. Trust me. I won't lie to him about why he had to come here." White shrugged his shoulder. 

This time, the devils' expression warped almost instantly when they heard 'Union Elder,' and the leader of the group instantly looked around in panic. 

"Are you playing tricks with me? How can a union elder be waiting for you in this outer sun domain?!" The young devil retorted coldly as he clearly thought White was bluffing. 

Ace didn't want to waste more time with this bunch, so he merely flipped his hand, and a paper talisman appeared and waved it in front of the group, "Do you think I'm joking? How about we found out?" 

The leader almost fell from his sword as his body trembled when he saw the yellow talisman while the reaming group looked confused. 

"We are extremely sorry. We took you for someone else." The leader quickly changed his tone into a polite one and pulled an ugly smile, "Let's go." 

The other five were confused since they were here to rob the guy because they saw him coming out of the library, but now they were running with tails between their legs, and all because of some paper. 

'So, this guy had seen this talisman?' Ace thought as he only took out this talisman on a whip that was given to him by Joseph. He just wanted to see if these guys would be scared off. 

But there was also a chance that they didn't even know what this talisman was, so he then had to use another method to get rid of this bunch. But it seemed it worked. 

Ace suddenly said, "Wait."

The leader almost fell from his sword as he sensed something amiss and looked at Ace with a stiff smile, "What it is, fellow brother?" 

White suddenly pulled an amusing smile as he said, "I need all of your union merits to buy a present for Elder to quench his anger since I'm already late because of you guys. Can you be so kind as lend me? If you don't, I'll understand and just use this thing to contact him. You lot can help me explain, alright?" 

The leader's expression went dark, 'He's robbing us?!' 

"You… what the…! *Slap*" 

Before the devil could berate Ace, he was slapped by the leader, who coldly yelled at him, "Shut up, you dog!" 

He then quickly looked at Ace and smiled with a twisted expression, "We'll, of course, lend you all of our union merits. Contributing to a gift meant for the elder is our honor." 

He then looked around his group and coldly said in a threatening tone, "Empty your tokens!"contemporary romance
