《Eternal Thief 》Chapter 140: New Skill: Thief’s Charity
Advertisement
James has a wise and calm personality. That's why he didn't panic like others and search for some clues before confirming his guess.
Now he knows everyone was doubting him and if he didn't give them a proper explanation, they all might torture him.
"Please calm down, everyone. I know this name because I found this fragment Qi stones in my pocket." Jason quickly showed the fragment Qi stone in his hand to everyone.
Since everyone was a cultivator, their eyesight was very good, and they saw on the fragment Qi stone was engrave something in crude small writing.
But everyone can read what was written on it.
It was;
"Thank you for this wealth. I'll cherish it well. Sky Stealer."
"Insolent!" A furious roar sounded in the victim's group.
"How can I believe that's not your doing to escape this situation?" Macey still didn't buy it.
"Please check your robes and if I'm not wrong, you might also have the same fragment Qi stones. Just think about it. This thief can leave those tattoos on your skin without even you. knowing slipping these Qi stones would be just a breeze for him." James gravely said, "You can also scan my body this will prof I'm just a victim like you guys."
Everyone quickly searches, just as James indicates.
The crowd on the side was closely observing this as if they were beholding some magic show as well as those guards of the organization because it was all happening outside their gates.
In everyone's shocking gazes same 96 more fragment Qi stones appeared from other victims with the same phase of words!
"That insolent thief I'll cut him into millions of pieces!" A viscount crushed the fragment Qi stone into powder as his face was twisted with hatred.

Everyone's face turns dark as charcoal because this wasn't just daylight robbery, it was a slap to their faces.
Not only did this Sky Stealer rob these nobles, but he even leave 'gifts' behind.
The crowd that was watching this also exclaim as some of them couldn't help but felt a deep respect for this Sky Stealer and somehow this overbearing name sounded more fitting and well deserved!
"Sir James, you are the one with vast knowledge. Please tell us how should we found him?" A Baron respectfully asked.
Now that the misunderstanding was clear, they all can see this lesser noble was wittier than anyone of them. That's why they all hopefully looked at him.
'Two-faced scums.' James scoffed inside.
"I also don't know, but he's not in this crowd." James respectfully said and didn't show disdain on his face.
"Why did you think like this?" other women in the victims' group asked, with a pale face.
Everyone's eyes narrowed while the crowd listened with great interest.
James takes a deep breath as he said, "Just by this thief skill, one can see he isn't normal and he is greatly skilled in deception. He might already leave long ago and we only noticed it now after all our prime focus was on the colosseum before. If not for Viscountess here, we might still didn't notice it."
The atmosphere turns grim hearing James's words because they all can understand James's words were very much on the point.
"Didn't this mean we lose our storage rings and wealth inside!" Someone spokes as if he would cry at any moment.
Everyone's faces were ashen, and the crowd has a sigh of relief because if these guys didn't find anyone to blame, they might kill everyone here in the name of justice.

Now, however, they all seen just how capable this thief was and he would not stay here to get captured. He even leaves his name so they all know who did the deed and do not blame anyone.
'What a strange fellow, leaving his name clearing means he didn't want these innocent people to drag in.' James guess but didn't point it out. He was a peace lover and didn't like bloodshed.
As for his storage ring, he didn't care about it since he can get a new one and he didn't store all his wealth like some people in this group of victims in one place.
'I like to meet this Sky Stealer fellow. Since you put some effort into stopping the bloodshed, let me help you.' James thought without any resentment.
But there was still little grievance in his heart. After all, there were ten thousand low Qi stones in his storage ring and that ring alone was worth 100,000 low qi stones.
"How about this? We should scan each and everyone here and let them go. We don't want the organization to interfere, right?" James suggested.
"Yes, we can't cause commotion outside the gates of colosseum like this. Everyone with Qi Foundation Building cultivation; check these people one by one and let them go. If you find anyone suspicious, bring them here." Macey order and everyone sprang into action.
---
Inside the colosseum, no one has any idea about the tremendous commotion caused by a thief.
'I wonder if they found my message easily.' Ace thought as he disembarks the carriage.
This thief's charity was the skill he created on the structure of pick-pocket. Meaning it was a reverse pick-pocket of a sort.
It takes him some time, but he manages to pull this off. He specifically created this skill to leave his name behind.
Because people always name him with strange titles and he didn't like any of them, especially the last one.
Furthermore, he can also give others the actual target of their anger and he can become famous with it as well.
It's just that he can only send small objects with this skill like qi stones at this moment. But it was enough for him.
As for why he chose fragments Qi stones for the substitute of paper, it's all because he just felt great about it!
This name also matched the gesture and Ace like the sound of it. That's why he called it Thief's Charity!
However, Ace does not know just how much famous he'll become because of this new method of his in the future, and also got caught because of it!

She Who Reigns the Stars [Vol. 1]
*Remastered version of She Who Reigns the Stars* Tell me, what will become of us? Presenting your Goddess… Asteria, Supreme Deity of Stalera, the nation of the Universe. She who rules the stars with steel eyes and an iron will, the glorious, the beautiful, the adored Goddess, has now fallen under the hands of her nemesis… The Archfiend, Emperor of Talonis, the nation of Vice and its Shadows, has now assumed reign over Stalera after the death of the Goddess. With the power of Vice, its Shadows, and the Universe, it is assumed that he would be satisfied now that Stalera was under his mercy, and the other two nations of Yelerna and Antalis would follow suit. But much to our surprise, he isn’t because he still lacks the… Ruby, The Goddess’ last attempt to save her empire and the entirety of the Universe. Before her death, the Goddess sealed a portion of her blood, which contained the remaining powers of the Universe the Archfiend hadn’t obtained, away from his grasp. She entrusted it to one of her Zodiac Warriors, a member of her elite service known as the Zodiac Warrior Circle, and instructed him to hide the precious jewel on Earth. The restoration of Stalera and the defeat of the Archfiend would lie in the hands of whoever inherited the ruby jewel. Those who inherited the ruby were known as the Goddess’ Successor, and the one next in line to inherit it is… Auriella Corentin. Life was never the same for Auriella the night her Grandmama gave her the ruby jewel and died, thrusting the poor girl into a world of magic. Now in possession of the Goddess’ blood, it wouldn’t be long until the Archfiend found her, killed her, and obtained her ruby inheritance. But Auriella never wanted this responsibility, not when she had her own past and inner demons to battle against. Nevertheless, she finds herself seeking an alliance with the Zodiac Warriors and a strange barista as she learns to wield the powers the Goddess bestowed to her. But as frequent demon attacks, a secret admirer (or stalker), strange notes, and a handsome, amber-eyed boy pile onto her plate, it is no longer clear whether the universe needed Auriella to be their savior or to be the Goddess’ (inferior) replacement. A Goddess in need of redemption. Four Nations at the brink of destruction. Our question still remains unanswered… What will become of us? [Updates Monday, Wednesday, Friday @8pm PST]
