Today wasn't like any tranquil day in middle-level lands because of an astonishing announcement released by none other than three giants altogether!

Furthermore, this was more like a challenge than an announcement since it was only for one person and that was none other than the mysterious thief, Sky Stealer.

The content of the announcement was like this,

___

"The self-proclaimed thief, Sky Stealer, is continually being a degenerate while defying the laws and authorities which maintain the peace of middle-level lands and because of him, the peace of these beautiful lands were on the brink of shattering.

"That's why we, the three giants, come together and decided to end this game once and for all before the degenerate thief targeted and hurt the innocents.

"Right now, all the resources and treasures of three giants are accumulated together in the form of a 'Treasure Mountain' in a field just a few miles away from Golden Hammered Kingdom's capital city, waiting for the degenerate thief for Ninety Days.

"If the degenerate thief can theft all the treasures then it will be three giants lose, and we'll leave the middle-level lands while if those treasures remain intact he had to surrender himself and received the punishment for all his crimes.

"Anyone can come and verify the authority of treasure mountain; the treasure mountain is as real as it could be!

"Did Sky Stealer dare accept the verdict and come?"

___

Everyone was discussing this shocking challenge released by three giants.

"Man, this is a massive trap set by those three giants. They're finally making their move!" A man clamored while walking.

"Heh, what do you expect from the most powerful authorities of middle-level lands, once they move they'll move like this!" The second man gloat.

"Hmph…they're just afraid since they can't deal with him and the newly rising organization of thieves. Who knows if those treasures were all real or fake, right, I'm still not believing it! Who in their right mind collect all those treasures in one place and then invite the most talented thief to theft them!" the third man sneered disdainfully at both of his friends.

This kind of heated discussion can be heard all over the middle-level lands.

Some were sneering at three giants for being so shameless, while some were pouring more oil on fire and calling the sky stealer with all kinds of vulgarities to accept the challenge.

Everyone knew if Sky Stealer shy away from this challenge, his invincible fame would go down to the gutter and the three giants would regain their dignity again.

However, the majority of the people believed this wasn't a challenge to the thief himself, but it was a challenge to the rising organization of thieves, Sky Stealer Society.

While the entire middle-level lands were boiling and waiting for some kind of reply from the thief himself, the condition of Golden Hammered Kingdom's royal family didn't seem quite good.

"Why?! Why do they have to do this circus so close to my kingdom's capital?!" The Golden King roared in anger when he saw heard this news, "And why is that bastard thief still alive?!" Golden King knew just how dangerous sky stealer was by his personal experience in earthen mist forest.

Before he considered the thief was probably dead or lost with all those Qi river core eccentrics, however after this abrupt news he guessed something had probably happened in three giants since they were willing to come together and cause this massive commotion.

Especially when the Nightmare Ghosts Organization was involved in all this as well because they never showed their faces in light, much less worked together with their rivals.

As for the so-called mountain treasures even, he took it as a joke and simply consider it was a trap to rail the thief here which was almost impossible since he won't come to his death even if that mountain treasure was real.

However, what made the Golden King truly uneasy and dreadful was that the Sky Stealer was probably alive because his younger brother, Vance, and his daughter Dulce had a history with that thief, and it would be not exaggerating to call it a blood feud between them!

Before, he only considered the thief an ant from the low-level lands who somehow got lucky and get some lowly inheritance.

However, after he escaped the sky-changing border and made a name for himself, he finally understood the thief was by no means ordinary nor his growth.

Although his brother only forced him to enter the sky changing, and he even left alive, so the feud between them could still be salvaged. However, when it comes to his daughter, Dulce, she had massacred Ace's entire hometown not even leaving a chicken alive which by no means was something anyone could forget.

That's why he supported the thief hunt with all this might, he wanted to completely uproot the problem once and for all, but now that bastard was probably still alive and has done something to piss off three giants.

By all means, he didn't even want Ace to step inside his kingdom's territory, but it was probably too late now.

'Is it related to those missing Qi river core cultivators? But why did they choose my kingdom of all places? Is someone using enmity between him and my family to lure him here? I have to visit myself!'

After calming himself, he quickly declared, "Prepare my carriage and summon my brother and Princess Dulce, we're visiting the esteemed guests from afar."

Somewhere in the land of the second-grade kingdoms,

Inside a room, there was only a big rectangular table and eleven chairs around it, while the entire room was empty except for a wall.

On this wall which was right behind a single golden throne-like chair was a mural of a dark owl spamming its blade-like wings, this was the symbol of Sky Stealer!

Expect this golden throne, all ten chairs around it were filled with people wearing dark robes with dark owl emblems and owl masks.

"Let the meeting between ten 'Sky Thieves' of Sky Stealer Society, began!" A person in a black owl mask sitting at the first chair on right beside the golden throne declared.
