Eternal Thief

When Ace was talking with Noa,

A reverberating voice sounded,

"Old Ghost, Melvin, come out for this old man!"

Ace was startled for a moment before his lips curled. He left a sentence for Noa and completely focus on the palace-like estate two hundred meters away from his current position.

Yes, he was hiding and waiting for Gatlin a few hundred meters away from the evil blade estate.

Because he knew after he found out about the name that was registered in the life wine pavilion, he would definitely come even if he felt something was amiss.

Furthermore, he wanted to cause trouble for the Evil Blade Clan because they never stop looking for an opportunity to capture Feng, even after Blade Demon King gave his protection.

Before, he planned to lure them into the ruin site with other blade clans and then told Mist Demon King about Santos's death. He would pin the blame on the Evil Blade Clan and she definitely wouldn't have let them live.

He had also planned to alert Blade Demon King afterward so they could clash with each other.

With this, Feng would've vanished, and the blame would then fall on the four-blade clans and Mist Demon King for his disappearance.

This was his first strategy to get rid of Feng's identity while also teaching four-blade demon clans a memorable lesson.

This was Freya and his previous plan.

However, everything fell apart when Winter appeared and he had to change his strategy. Which also renders his plans for the four-blade demon clans useless.

Now that he had another chance, he again chose to cause trouble for the Evil Blade Demon Clan, since they were the ones who enslaved Flora and Dolly.

He just simply had to use an evil demon face he had saved in the hunting competition to register a private room in the name of Eliezer Evil Blade and Gatlin would cause the trouble in his stead while he also took his chance to steal his storage ring!

After Gatlin's reverberating voice, the entire Evil Blade Demon Estate fell into turmoil.

Because everyone knows Melvin was the name of the old patriarch who was also the father of the current patriarch of the evil blade demon clan!

Although they don't know who was being so impudent but could tell it wasn't some random tom, dick, and harry.

Everyone knew in the blade domain the blade demon tribe were the rulers and there weren't many who would go against them in their territory.

Soon, a middle-aged evil blade demon appeared, followed by a bunch of old demons.

When they saw the appearance of the fossil-like demon standing at their door with a furious expression on his face, the anger in their eyes turned into shock and trepidation.

They all knew about the features of the life grandmaster and their patriarch had some deals with him in the past as well. So, they quickly guess Gatlin's identity.

The middle-aged demon couldn't help but bow slightly and said, "Life Grandmaster, I'm Ridge, the current patriarch of the evil blade demon clan. Please come in. I'll inform my father of your esteem arrival."

Ridge could tell Gatlin was furious, but he was confused about why he was angry at them. He suddenly thought if someone had offended any alchemist, but he then brushed this notion, since Gatlin won't be free enough to seek justice for some random association member.

Gatlin's expression remains the same as he said, "Is Eliezer Evil Blade your son?"

Ridge's heart palpitates when he heard his eldest son's name. He nodded, "Yes. What's the matter Grandmaster, Eliezer is an obedient child, but if he does anything wrong, I'll personally punish him."

"Where is he right now?" Gatlin's eye narrowed.

Ridge looked at an elder and asked coldly, "Where's Eliezer?"

The elder didn't dare to hide anything and said, "Young Lord is still recovering in his chamber. As Patriarch already knows, Young Lord returned wounded a week ago after his second phase mission completion. He was in recovery since."

An uncertain glint flashed past Gatlin's eyes, he could tell this person wasn't lying and from Ridge's expression, it becomes even more apparent.

He still told to clarify things, "My disciple has disappeared, probably kidnapped from the life wine pavilion and according to the entry register, Eliezer has booked the same room, from where my disciple disappeared.

"I have already checked with them. Even soul search the registrar and an evil blade demon was there this morning. So, what is going on?"

Now, Ridge's expression turned ugly because he can't say Gatlin was lying or the person who told him, since the name soul search clarifies everything. He knew this old ghost won't appear here without any solid evidence.

"If some junior is involved in this, then I'll hand him personally to Grandmaster." He vowed. He knew this was the only way out of this situation.

But he secretly prays that only a single person was involved in this or they won't be able to handle Gatlin if he decided to attack.

Although the public didn't know, they all know the Blade Demon King wasn't here to protect them at the moment.

"Summon everyone in the training field. Let's see which degenerate wanted to harm his kin." He sternly ordered the elders behind.

Gatlin didn't say anything. He was satisfied with Ridge's attitude on this and he didn't make things difficult for him if this kidnapping has nothing to do with the evil blade demon clan.

However, at this exact moment, Gatlin's expression suddenly changed as he instantly looked toward his right hand and he just happened to see his storage ring disappearing from his ring finger!

<strong>"WHO?!"  </strong>

He couldn't help but screamed and turned around as he looked at the woods two hundred meters away and he bolted in that direction like his life was depending on it!

Everyone was gobsmacked by this sudden turn of events and looked at the other demon, who was standing behind Gatlin, all this time for some explanation.

But he looked just as bewildered as them.

"There's a thief there, quickly circle around!" Gatlin's aghast roar rang again!
