Ace never expected Gatlin to notice the soul thread right when the pick-pocket was active and he also witnessed his storage ring disappearing.
This also gave him some idea of where the thief was and now he was coming right toward him.
But Ace didn’t panic, he was already ready for this scenario, he knew stealing from a platinum soul embryo realm expert wouldn’t be easy. Although he succeeded in the end, he was still noticed way before than expected.
‘It was the right decision to set up decoys.’ Ace’s lips curled.
The very next moment,
‘Boom… boom… boon…’
Blasting sounds rang from different directions in the evil blade demon territory and everyone was shocked by this.
Gatlin, who was moving in just a little bit further away from Ace’s real position, was also startled. Although, he was using his soul sense. But he still couldn’t find the thief or his trace.
He started to panic, ‘This is a distraction, just where is he!’ His eyes turned bloodshot, but he didn’t change his direction.
Suddenly, the brown fiery Qi gushed out from his body and it suddenly turned into a fifty-member long fiery blade, and without any hesitation, he sent it toward the same direction where he thought the thief was hiding or escaping.
Ace’s heart throbbed when he sensed that fiery soul aura, even from this direction he felt like he was in the middle of an active volcano.
‘This old man!’ He cussed and finally ran at full speed. He knew fooling this old fossil wasn’t easy and he can’t remain in one place under that approaching fiery blade.
He was still confident in his heartless stealth so he ran without fear.
Gatlin’s expression turned ashen when his vision and soul sense were destructed by his own skill.
“Use some formation?! What are you guys doing? If that bastard escape, I’ll make sure you won’t be able to redeem yourself!” He howled.
Ridge and other elders of the evil blade clan were already in dismay and shocked about what just happened and if they didn’t do anything it will be over for them.
Ridge took out an array medium and activate it at full power, thereafter, the grounds of the entire evil blade state lit in runes and a barrier started to rose from the distance.
Gatlin continue to use his fiery blade as he charred the entire small forest down, but the thief was nowhere to be found.
‘Could it be it was in a different direction?!’ He was literally going mad with wrath.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on his right palm.
He saw a dark owl imprint cover his entire palm and there were some words, “I’m here!”
“Cough…” He coughed up some blood the moment he saw the mocking words and the symbol.
He then roared at the top of his lungs,<strong> “SKY STEALER, IT IS NOT OVER BETWEEN US!” </strong>
Everyone heard that deafening roar, filled with fury and abhorrence.
—
Ace who has already outside the barrier range couldn’t help but sneered when he heard Gatlin’s voice, ‘Heh, rejoice old man I didn’t imprint the symbol on your face because you take care of Noa or you won’t be able to show your face in public.’
With that, Ace didn’t stop and headed toward the lionheart shop.
While moving, he couldn’t help but check what he stole from Gatlin, that guy was one of the heads of the continent’s wealthiest organization so he couldn’t be poor!
