Eternal Thief

Ace only smile mysteriously and transmitted in his mind, "System open the mission making interface of thief house!"

Ace always had a weakness, and he was nearly killed because of it last time, but this time he won't be going to make the same mistake since he had a helper, and he was quite confident of achieving it, after seeing Pablo's memories!

From Pablo's memories, Ace could tell the mighty demon continent was quite resourceful and there were many unexplored mysterious things just waiting to be explored.

That's why Ace first decided to find a hideout where no one would be able to find him and then create an… informational secret organization from this hidden place!

Before, he had no plan or even thought of taking this step because it would require too much time and manpower. However, after recruiting Noa and getting Pablo's memories and the way the demon race does things, Ace didn't think it was completely impossible anymore.

Besides, he had some experience with how a secret informational organization work from Nightmare Ghosts Organization's secret information network, and he always wanted a source of information like this when he was roaming in lower lands.

But alas, he never had a chance, he was teleported here, after a near-death experience.

However, Ace didn't want to repeat that same mistake again and after mulling over it for some time he decided to just go for it and create his own secret network of information in Mighty Demon Continent, and he was going to start with Silver Iron Demon City!

'If we somehow manage to pull this off, it will greatly help me in future thieveries and I can always dodge incidents like 'treasure mountain' or even use it to increase my fame by spreading the news!' Ace's eyes glow like the sun as he thought of all those advantages if he was successful.

With no further delay, he started to create the mission for Noa because she was crucial in the founding of this secret organization, and he didn't have to worry about her betraying him, either. It was also a sort of test.

He could've commanded her without using the House Points, and she could've followed it without asking any further questions. But he refrained from doing it because she required a large amount of HP to reset her foundation and then re-cultivate with the system's cultivation technique.

He was her only source of HP, and it would only bring him benefits if she became more powerful. Especially when he thought about all those soul pills, she'll be able to refine in the future. Just this reason was enough to make him help her with all his might.

Noa was also calmly waiting for the mission that Ace had just promised, but she couldn't hide the anticipation in her eyes and her wildly beating heart.

After a few moments, she finally heard the system's impassive voice.

[Thief House Leader (Ace White) has issued a Chain-Mission]

[Thief House Leader Mission]

[Chain-Mission: 1/3]

-Mission: Subduing the Wolf Demon Bandits!

-Description: Subdue the gang of bandits hiding deep in Iron Forest close to the iron demon city and enslave their leader (Golden Wolf King)!

-Reward: 300 House Points

-Time: 30 Days

-Punishment: None

[Chain-Mission: 2/3]

-Mission: Lock

[Note: Please complete the first chain mission to unlock the second mission.]

Noa's eyes shone with incredulity when she saw this 'Chain-Mission' and questioned, "Leader, why?"

She naturally didn't understand why Ace wanted to subdue a gang of bandits and even enslave their leader.

"Hehe, you'll naturally know as you complete all the chain missions. Just don't underestimate this group of bandits. They had a strong backer, or they'll not roam freely until now. Kill anyone who resists. We just needed their leader, Golden Wolf King. He's probably a peak Qi river realm demon now."

Ace didn't reveal his plan just yet to Noa since he wasn't even sure himself if this will work or not, but he was eighty percent sure it'll work.

'Well, I naturally found out about it if she could complete the second mission. I have to hand it to the system. This chain mission is really handy if you want to give a series of missions at once. I wonder system would give me a chain mission in the future as well or not.' Ace thought with some expectancy.

He naturally found this 'Chain-Mission' feature in the thief house mission interface, and he quite likes it because this was the thing he needed at this moment.

"As you wish!" Noa merely nodded her head in agreement.

Since Ace didn't want to reveal it, she won't question him anymore. After all the series of events she has gone through with Ace, she won't feel shocked or question him anymore. Even if he said she'll have to kill the demon king, she'll do it with no question asked!

"As for your problem of leaving and entering the Iron Demon City, go to the market and find an old shop name 'Cloud Book Store' tell the old man that; you want to 'Eat Cloud on Sun' and he'll know what you want…"

Ace gave some more instructions to Noa, so she could safely exit or enter the city after completing the mission. He knew she couldn't pull a wall climb without getting busted.

He was naturally using Pablo's knowledge since that guy was always interested in these kinds of things more than cultivation, and probably that's why he was expelled as well.

Pablo knows many secrets about the Iron Demon City because of his background, but alas, all of them were useless after he was expelled and become broke like a beggar.

However, these secrets were a great help to someone like Ace, who wanted to create a secret organization.

After getting her instructions from Ace, Noa left the hidden basement, and she naturally remembered all the hidden traps in Silver Iron Demon State when she was following Ace.

It was a piece of cake for Noa to enter or exit the Silver Iron Demon State now!
