Henrik’s eyes contracted when he heard New Moon’s word. Although he didn’t want to believe it, he knew Hex Masters were shrouded in mystery, and they had strange hex magic and techniques for controlling anyone weaker than them with hexes.

Although Henrik didn’t want to admit it, even he felt they had captured Pablo too easily, and he didn’t even try to hide from them, nor resist in any way.

But what he didn’t understand was how the hex master got their storage rings and where did they go since they never saw anyone leaving this city.

Even New Moon had the same thought.

Suddenly, their minds jolt with another realization, especially New Moon, as he said,

“Sigh… if he was able to control him without even his knowledge, then he can control anyone here or outside within the army of these gibbon demons. Since we didn’t know how a Hex-Master works, we probably let him escape with all the storage rings already! Or he’s already long gone since he can change his appearance to anyone. It wasn’t difficult to mix within such a huge mob.”

Henrik’s eyes shimmered with unwillingness since he also thought of this, and looked at Pablo, who was still clueless looking at them with utter terror.

Elian, Uriah, and everyone from the Iron Demon Tribe felt immense relief when they thought they had just brushed past death!

However, Henrik’s next word made all of their hopes shattered instantly.

“Since Duke New Moon had spoken, it indeed seemed this fool was not involved, but it still doesn’t change the fact that the Hex Master chose his appearance of all the demons, and who knows, the Hex Master is from Iron Demon Tribe since he appeared here.”

New Moon also nodded and added, “Marquis Henrik is right. From now on, no one from the Iron Demon Tribe will leave these city walls until I report this matter to the Royal Demon Council, and they send their personnel to investigate this city.

“If they found nothing, the Iron Demon Tribe might have a chance of survival, but if they found the trace of a Hex Master inheritance… heh, even I don’t know what will they do.”

Elian felt his heart nearly stop beating when he heard the last words of the New Moon. He couldn’t help but marvel about the tragic fate of his tribe, just only because of a thief.

Before they still had a chance of survival, but after this Elian knew they’ll be now at the complete mercy of the royal demon council’s mood!

“Marquis Henrik, please look after this place while I make this report to the Royal Demon Council’s branch in Might Blade Province.” New Moon said to Henrik with a stern tone.

“Here, this is the Eagle Surveillance Formation. I’m lending it to you!” New Moon sent the small cube in his hand toward Henrik.

Although he was somewhat unwilling to leave such a formation in Henrik’s hands, he knew if he didn’t secure all these victims, he’ll be blamed, which he didn’t want at any cost.

Henrik solemnly grab the small cube and nodded, “I will!” He knew if he messed up this time, he’ll be dead with all the ocean demon tribe, so he was far more motivated than anyone else!

New Moon quickly left with his Snowfall Wolf at the fastest speed, he knew this event was going to ruffle many feathers and Mist Demon King will also have to give up on that thief because the royal demon council might not even let him come to contact that thief!



Henrik and New Moon didn’t know all this drama was watched by a small bird sitting on the tall city wall from start to finish. Even if they saw this small creature, they might find it harmless and not even bother to act against such a creature.

But New Moon had forgotten his own words or paid little attention to them or thought a little deeper into it that a Hex Master can control anything, which included these small creatures, not just cultivators and demons!



At this moment, All-Knowing Parrot suddenly opened her mesmerizing icy blue eyelids, revealing ocean blue eyeballs filled with disbelief and utter astonishment.

She mumbled in her melodious voice filled with excitement, “So, that thief is a Hex Master!

“Those fools didn’t know if that person really wanted to kill them. They’ll be dead by now because I clearly saw him comprehending a half sword intent and now just any sword intent. It was clearly a dark element sword intent, an absolute myth!

“Just how can there be such a genius present outside the royal zone, no, he’s far stronger than those so-called geniuses. He might be the number one genius on this continent!

“No, if he comprehends that complete element sword intent, he’ll be unrivaled in this world. He’s also a powerful Hex Master.

“Since he’s playing ‘thief’ to collect resources, it meant he’s probably alone and needs support. But he was too reckless showing his abilities like this and using even Hexes just to humiliate Royal Demon Council.

“Is he decedent of a survivor of that massacre? This also clarifies his hate for the Royal Demon Council, but he was still too reckless, and now those despicable fellows will do anything to kill him.”

The all-Knowing Parrot suddenly showed very rare emotion on her fairy-like face. Worry about another!

She never showed such emotion to anyone, since she considered everyone her disposable pawn!

A hint of resolution flashed past her mesmerizing eyes, “I have to find him before anyone else and see if he’s a friend or foe, but I don’t think he’ll reject me… a fellow Hex Master and also someone who hates Royal Demon Council to the core!”

A pitch-black dark smoke suddenly rose from All-Knowing Parrot when she uttered ‘Royal Demon Council’ before it completely vanished as she returned to her aloof self…



The culprit who had no idea that he had just unknowingly poked a vast hole in a hornet’s nest was counting his gains without even caring about what was happening outside because of him.

Ace had quickly made his escape toward his secret hideout, which was twenty kilometers away from the battlefield at the front gates of the Iron Demon City.

This place was completely barren right now, and he had heard Henrik’s enraged voice when he was halfway there.

He nearly thought he will get caught by Henrik or New Moon with that formation in play, but for some reason, those two never come.

However, he didn’t know it was New Moon’s mistake to focus all the power of Eagle Surveillance Formation on that enormous army and completely ignore this empty area. That’s why he could reach his hideout safely!

Noa was also shocked when she saw Ace returning completely unharmed and so quickly because she clearly got Ace’s message on that mission that he might return after a long time, which made her extremely worried and agitate.

But she didn’t go against Ace’s command and stay put since it will only make things difficult for Ace with her meager power!

However, after seeing Ace, she felt immense relief that he had returned safely.

“Leader, what happened out there?” Noa couldn’t help but ask. She also wanted to go out and earn some house points but didn’t dare to after receiving Ace’s mission.

Ace took off his mask and grin wildly. His gains were tremendous this time. Not only did he breakthrough into the second realm of dual shadow swords technique, but he also got two system rewards and thousands of thieveries and thief points!

He couldn’t help but looked at the thievery report that he didn’t get the chance to before while telling Noa about what he did outside and especially to Henrik!

“Leader, what happened?” Noa’s confused voice snapped Ace out of his stupor.

“Oh, nothing. I was just to catch up for a moment.” Ace merely shook his head as he didn’t tell her he was looking at the huge number of thief points he just got in disbelief.

Furthermore, his thievery count has also reached a sufficient threshold for the next rank, but he didn’t get any notification about it, but the system was telling him to open the thief panel instead.

However, he didn’t open it too quickly and patiently tell Noa about what happened when he was outside without any distraction this time.

Their conversation lasted for an hour before Noa was fully satisfied with what has Ace done to Henrik since she also hated him because of his close relationship with Livy, and she got back to her cultivation, so she could become more powerful and do the same herself next time!

Ace finally became free of Noa’s questions and quickly opened the thief panel to see why the system want him to open it.

“Thief Panel!”
