Eternal Thief

Ace exited the throne hall; the golden gates closed like they were opened.

The first thing he saw was the Sun Lord, who was still standing there while his appearance and racial features were hidden by that special mask on his face.

'So, this is the Sun Lord, and for some reason, he seemed hostile towards me? Is he felt threatened by me now when the Union Leader took interest and summoned me here?' Ace thought as he looked at the Sun Lord with a somewhat cold gaze.

He heard the Sun Lord and Moon Lord were the two peak contenders to be the next Union Lord. But now, out of the blue, a human appeared out of nowhere who had peerless talent.

So, Ace felt it was quite natural that these two persons with authority felt uneasy and even tried to get rid of him. Because if he worked hard to get something for years and only found out that it could be taken by a brat who didn't even do anything, he would also feel pissed and indignant.

However, this didn't mean he would go out of his way to try turning the other party into a vegetable while knowing his superior clearly won't stand idle.

This showed just how insane the Sun Lord was to take such a risk, or he was just crazy!

If Ace was now worried about someone, it wasn't the Union Leader but the Sun Lord since he might try something like that again once he left the Union Leader's protection.

Then there was still the Moon Lord, whose thoughts and attitude towards him were still unclear. If she turned out to have the same agenda as the Sun Lord, then Ace would have to think twice before he moved into the Moon Domain as well.

After all, he still needed to find the other secret realm, which should be in the moon domain.

But first, he was going to focus on the Sun Domain's secret realm. He had three months to either retrieve that cultivation technique from both outer domains' cultivation towers or become a peak River Core Cultivation Realm Cultivator.

For Ace, it was quite an obvious choice of what he would do.

White greeted Sun Lord respectfully, bowed a slight bow, and said, "I got to know Senior is the Sun Lord from my Master."

"Your Master? Did Milord accept you as his student?" Sun Lord's voice was filled with bitterness and a hint of hatred as well as jealousy.

"Yes!" White replied without hesitation while he thought deviously, 'Since he's afraid of my new Master, there's no need to worry about him while I'm within the union.'

"I'm also anointed as the Junior Union Leader by my Master," White revealed while showing his new union identity token.

This time the Sun Lord's figure visibly trembled as a chaotic Qi suddenly started to emit from him as if he was going to explode.

But for some reason, despite knowing the danger, Ace didn't feel any kind of pressure or unease at all. He mused it might have something to do with this place of the Union Leader protecting him.

Whichever the case was, he was relaxed since his life wasn't in danger, for now.

The Sun Lord seemed to have snapped out of his chaotic mind state almost instantly before that dangerous aura vanished, and he appeared like before.

Then the Sun Lord did something which made Ace astonished. He bowed his head slightly and said, "Sun Lord, greet the Junior Union Leader!"

"Please, Senior, don't do this. Even with this status, you are still my elder, so please don't lower your head. I hope I can learn from you, and together, we can make the union even better. I think my master wants the same." White hastily spoke, and he sounded extremely sincere.

While in truth, Ace was just being Ace by acting according to his character. Now that he knew his masked was not even detectable by the Union Leader, he was even more condiment about all this.

Especially since now, he had to do nothing much but act accordingly to White's personality and strike when the time was ripe.

The Sun Lord didn't agree nor disagree as he asked an entirely different question, "Did the Junior Union Leader have an order for me, or am I excused?"

'This guy…' Ace's squinted his eye as he couldn't read the Sun Lord's emotion anymore, as if he had completely cut off his feeling.

Still, he would keep his distance from him even if the Sun Lord had changed his attitude, so nothing changed.

"I would like you to send me to the inner sun domain library. I want to increase my cultivation knowledge." White respectfully requested.

"Very well." The Sun Lord agreed without hesitation before he waved his sleeve, and they both vanished from outside the throne hall.

Ace's regained his vision and found himself standing outside a twenty-story golden pagoda that seemed quite familiar. He instantly recognized it as he saw the same golden pagoda in the outer sun domain, which was none other than the library!

Although those pagodas looked the same, this was twenty stories, while the latter was just ten stories, and it was three hundred meters wider than the outer sun domain's library.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave. If you need anything, just contact me through your token. It has such function." The Sun Lord's emotionless voice rang before he vanished without giving Ace any chance to reply as if he was escaping.

Ace merely glanced at stops where the Sun Lord had vanished and then looked ahead again as he didn't care much as long as that guy won't attack him.

He even opened the fate map just to confirm if he was sneaking around, but it turned out the Sun Lord really had left, so he moved toward the library.

There stood another magnificent golden statue of a wyvern in front of the entrance, and after sensing his presence, a familiar static voice rang,

"Union Token!"

Without hesitation, he took out his union token, and the golden eyes of the wyvern statue glowed before a familiar golden beam shot from them and landed on his new token before it vanished.

The voice rang again, but this time he could feel a hint of surprise from this voice, "Junior Union Leader (White), you have free access to all the twenty-one floors of the Inner Sun Domain Library and can stay indefinitely inside!"
