Eternal Thief-Novel

Chapter 201: The Big Shots of Middle-level Lands!

Today was like a carnival in Leap Royal City because this was the day of the Union Meeting between ten first-grade kingdoms. The reason for it was very simple, to capture the notorious thief, Sky Stealer! 

It was truly iconic because a single person and thief nevertheless have forced these powerful figures to come under a roof.

Furthermore, all these people never get along and always scheme behind each other’s backs. However, now they were here to work together for a single thief! 

Those in power were very excited about this because they were afraid of Sky Stealer would come to their territory next and rob them of their entire wealth.

These were those people who love wealth before anything else and some of them earned it through underhanded means, like slave trading, gambling dens, pleasures houses… 

As for those who think the Sky Stealer was doing nothing wrong, they were somewhat anxious because they didn’t want this legend to die so quickly. 

But alas, they can’t express their opinion because they knew in these past few days people who speak positively about Sky Stealer, mysteriously vanished. Some knowledgeable fellows guess that those in power didn’t want another Sky Stealer appearing while one was still tumulting. 

Now, everyone’s focus was on the Union Meeting between the ten 1st grade kingdoms and how they’re planning to deal with the sly thief!

Inside the Leap Palace’s throne room,

The Leap King was sitting on the newly built golden throne, he destroyed the old one because of certain someone. 

The Leap King looked pale and his face has sunk as some wrinkles surfaced on his face, it was as if he aged twenty years. The vagarious Leap King days ago has turned into an old man whose eyes filled with hatred and killing intent. 

Those two lifeguards beside him looked anxious at this moment. They know the biggest blow their King suffered because of the matter with the Queen and his younger brother’s betrayal. It was all because of that thief, and they hated him to the core.

Suddenly, the throne room’s gate opened and someone announced in a blasting voice, 

“The Earth King of rank ninth Earth Kingdom has arrived!” A brawny man with a fierce expression on his face entered the throne room.

It was a costume to announce the rank of the Kingdom with the King’s title.

It’s considered an honor and a reminder of the power a 1st-grade kingdom held. Kings of 2nd-grade kingdoms didn’t have the right to bask in this honor and instead, their true name will be used in these announcements. 

“The Blue Queen of rank eighth Blue Kingdom has arrived!” A curvaceous woman with a refined face made the next entry. 

“The Warren King of rank seven Warren Kingdom has arrived!” An old man supporting gray hair while wearing an elderly smile entered the throne room.

“The Misty Queen of rank sixth Misty Kingdom has arrived!” Another Queen’s entry was announced, but this queen wasn’t young like the Blue Queen, she was an old woman supporting white hair. 

“The Golden King of rank fifth Golden Hammered Kingdom has arrived!” A handsome middle-aged man with a slender build and golden hair enter.

“The Luminous King of rank fourth Luminous Kingdom has arrived!” A scholarly middle-aged man entered, if Ace was here he would’ve shocked because this man resembled his friend Bill, or it was Bill who resembled him!

All these seven people inside the throne room were at the peak of the Qi River realm, and all of them controlled the biggest powers of middle-level lands. No one spoke as they all keep standing in front of their seats since the three big shots were about to come!

Only the Leap King keep sitting with an icy face as if he didn’t care about ethics anymore. 

The others also didn’t ruffle his feathers, since they know just how much this guy has lost, and he was like a wounded lion, who’ll attack anyone without caring about his own life!

“The Scarlet King of rank third Scarlet Kingdom has arrived!” A tall, slender middle-aged man with scarlet hair entered the room with a stiff smile. 

“The Lavender Queen of rank second Lavender Kingdom has arrived!” An extremely gorgeous woman with a seductive, curvaceous figure entered the room. Her snowy face was impassive yet perfect as her gem-like intelligent eyes filled with indifference.   

This woman considers the most beautiful woman of entire middle-level lands. Rumored has it even the Damien King courted her, but it was all just a rumor.

Every man in the room sneaking a peek at her even the cold Leap King showed a hint of desire but no one dares to be impolite to her because this dead gorgeous woman was half-step into the Qi River Core realm and only the Damien King was powerful than her! 

“The 1st King of Middle-lands, his majesty, the Damien King, has arrived!” This time the announcement differed slightly from the other rulers.

A tall man seemingly in his early thirties entered the room. He had a fair, handsome face with long black hair. There was a dark silver crown sitting on his forehead. He wore a gentle smile as he looked at everyone. 

When his eyes landed on the Lavender Queen, his eyes show intense desire and gentleness for a moment, and he hid it the very next moment. 

The Damien King took his seat beside the Lavender Queen and closet to the throne of Leap King. Every ruler of the middle-level lands was sitting inside this room now, as the air was somewhat suffocating. 

“Leap King, you have my sincere condolence. I can’t imagine the pain you’re going through.” The Damien King broke the silence. 

“Thank you, your majesty.” The Leap King nodded slightly, as his eyes were still icy. 

He didn’t care about offending the Damien King anymore, but he needed his help to catch that thief and retrieve his treasures and also take his revenge! 

Just as the Leap King was about to start the discussion about the Sky Stealer, an unexpected announcement was made that shocked even the handsome Damien King and caused a ripple on Lavender Queen’s expressionless face.

“Crafter Elder and Flame General, of Pill Flame Organization… have arrived!” 

Everyone in the room quickly stood up, even the Leap King. They didn’t imagine that such big wings would come uninvited in their ten kingdoms meeting. They didn’t dare to offend them, since they knew just what these two titles represent!

Lan and Alvin enter the throne room with impassive faces. They just stayed on their spot, said nothing, as if they were waiting for something or someone. 

Just the Damien King was about to greet them with a fawning smile, another shocking announcement was made. 

“The Grand Beastmaster of Beast Calling Organization… has arrived!” 

A burly, tall old man with a long white beard and hair entered the room. His sharped eyes were giving off the feeling of a demonic beast. This was the Grand Beastmaster, John, who controlled the Beast Calling Organization in the middle-lands. He came here with Lan and Alvin!

Everyone in the room felt the dreadful aura around Grand Beastmaster, John. They all know he was the strongest inside the Room. 

The Damien King was also feeling dreadful toward this old man from the bottom of his heart. 

“I hope we’re not disturbing anything?” Lan spoke with a warm smile on his face. 

Everyone has an urge to roll their eyes, but they knew who this old goat was. 

“N…no, no, it’s an honor to have three venerable guests here.” The Damien King finally spoke with a fawning smile.

“Oh, little boy Grayson, you’ve grown up, eh.” Lan looked at Damien King and smile in acknowledgment.

“It’s all because of your blessing.” The Damien King smiles awkwardly after being called little boy Grayson. 

“Stop your nonsense, Lan, you drag me here just for me to watch this shit-drama?!” John snapped at Lan. 

Everyone in the room was shocked seeing this old Beastmaster talking to Lan like this, but when they thought about their identities, they felt only this guy can talk to him like this in entire middle-level lands.

Lan also didn’t mind John’s tone, since he knows about his friend’s fiery temper. He drags this guy here because of John’s special ability, or he won’t even bother to come in this gathering of ants.

But after mulling over it, he came here right this time because it would be good to have them do the work for them. It would also speed up the process of finding that hateful thief. 

Furthermore, John didn’t just come here because of his friendship with Lan, he was also here to capture that thief since the Beast Calling was also after him. 

Once they capture him, they would decide then who will take him, but first, they have to work together to capture him because after analyzing the newfound abilities of that thief. 

It was safe to say he was extremely profound in hiding and disguise abilities, and he was also master of his craft, Thievery!
