Livy’s mild voice rang, “Enter!” and the cultivation chamber’s doors also opened.

Charlee quickly entered the room and bowed toward Livy.

Livy said coolly, “Butler, speak your mind.”

Charlee was his most loyal subordinate, and he also treated him as an elder. That’s why Livy was quite lax with him whenever they were alone.

Charlee quickly said respectfully, “Aura Duke just sent a messenger.”

Livy’s brows knit together, and he said with uncertainty, “At this hour? What did the messenger say?”

Charlee continued respectfully, “Aura Duke summon your highness in life wine pavilion, and it seemed he asked you to come stealthily for some reason.”

Livy’s expression turned strange. Just three days ago, Aura Duke made it clear he didn’t believe him, nor he was willing to listen to his explanation, and now he suddenly summoned him in this kind of way.

He mused, ‘Could it be he was afraid of Maddux? That’s why he didn’t dare to openly support me, and now he was finally showing his true colors?’

Livy felt this was the only plausible explanation, and he didn’t share his thoughts with Charlee, nor asked for his opinion.

He stood up from his position and said to Charlee, “I’ll go. Please look after the preparation while I’m out.”

Charlee bowed slightly and nodded solemnly. “Please be at ease, your highness.”

Livy nodded and left the cultivation chamber in large stride, and he didn’t ask Charlee to leave. After all, he knew he would leave on his own because he would not dare to remain here if he didn’t have a death wish.

However, Livy didn’t see Charlee’s wily smile the moment he exited the door.

‘This was quite easy. I thought he would ask about Charlee’s viewpoint, and then I have to reveal more information, which will draw more suspicion since I’m not supposed to know what happened that night. Now, however, Livy would only suspect I played him by Aura Duke’s name, nothing much.’

This Charlee was none other than Ace in Charlee’s disguise, and Abdiel was also none other than him.

After he easily fooled Charlee to leave the mansion with one of his prepared faces from his secret visit to the servant quarters.

He activated Charlee’s face, which he saved that day in the sham of his ritual, and quickly came back to start his plan, which was to steal Livy’s storage ring first.

As for why he went after Livy’s storage ring first, it was because his lock picking skills weren’t high enough this time around. Although Noa had already told him where the treasury was, she also told him it was a low-grade-three lock protected and many low-grade-three alarming arrays and traps.

That was why this time he planned to pick-pocketed Livy’s storage ring first and the treasury key and other array controlling plates would be also inside his ring, which will make things far easier with his second half of the mission.

However, this also had its own risk because the moment he removed Livy’s Qi mark, Livy would instantly notice his missing storage ring and quickly head back to the mansion.

That’s why Ace had to be extremely quick this time and do his work before both Charlee and Livy can head back to the mansion.

But before that, he had to pickpocket Livy’s storage ring first and then hope he won’t notice it until he was far away from the mansion.

That’s why he first released his heavenly sense for a moment and tested if Livy notice it or and just as he expected, he noticed nothing, not unless Ace wanted him to notice.

Ace quickly activated his heavenly sense again and Livy was quickly detected going toward another room, so he could leave through the window silently. He was completely believing Charlee’s words for now.

Ace’s lips curls upward, and he quickly sent a soul thread Livy’s way.

In the middle of the night, Livy jumped into his back garden and quickly left toward the secret exit to meet with Aura Duke.

However, at this moment, he completely failed to notice an invisible fine orange thread had wrapped around his finger and when he just was in the complete dark, that fine thread abruptly vanished with his storage ring!

Inside Livy’s cultivation chamber, a beautiful gray storage ring has appeared in Charlee’s hand, and his eyes shimmered in elation.

System voice rang at this moment.

=====

Ace was a little startled when he saw the system had auto-filled the Thief Farewell Note in the same way he made his new Qi coins and smiled the next moment.

‘Well, we agree on something,’ Ace commanded coldly. “Imprint it on his face!”

He also liked the name of the first mission, and he wanted to make that demon who tried to refine him puke blood with anger, and this ‘I’m Back’ was a vicious slap on its face.

That was why he had already written these particular two words on the farewell note if he score high-level thievery, which was highly likely since he was pick-pocketing a demon duke, and he won’t just carry cheap or ordinary goods on him.

However, he was still somewhat disappointed when he didn’t find any soul-type materials inside Livy’s storage ring.

‘It is quite possible the soul-type material should be in the treasury. I don’t know if tribes with demon duke title would get any quota or not for the soul-type material and soul pills. Well, I hope they had.’

Ace’s eyes shimmered with excitement, but he didn’t make the system remove those Qi marks on Livy’s storage ring and the stronger rings inside these storage rings. Because Livy would still not reach too far, and he wanted to wait for some time before he starts.

However, if Livy found out about his missing storage ring very soon, Ace wouldn’t have any kind of advantage anymore, and he might suffer terribly.

That’s why he waited for five minutes before he would alert Livy on his own accord.

Five minutes were more than enough for him who know the location of the treasury and have the keys to the secret passage and treasury.

Ace used his eye skill on the cultivation chamber, and he could only see some vague outlines of runes. And he smiled wryly.

‘I need a higher-level eye skill again, and I also need to upgrade my lock eraser king technique, but I will only get one chance, so what should I choose?’ Ace felt quite bitter when he thought about it.

In Azure Wind Continent, lower lands, his skills would always be overpowered however, here, in Might Demon Continent, his skills were only subpar, and he was forced to think of other ways to achieve his goals, or he might be done in by his own mistake.

Five minutes pass quickly and Ace remained inside Livy’s cultivation chamber patiently waiting for anything.

However, Livy didn’t appear, which means he still was unaware of his missing storage ring.

“Five minutes starts now…”

Ace mumbled as he quickly commanded the system to open every storage ring with Livy’s Qi mark.

The system took an instant to complete the task.

Ace quickly search the main storage ring that Livy wore, and he quickly found a black complex rune key. He quickly took it out and when he poured some Qi into it, suddenly the cultivation chamber trembled before a dark passage appeared right where Livy was sitting!

Ace scoffed coldly when he saw the passage and quickly entered it while holding the rune key without hesitation.

He already knew this cultivation chamber was the place where the treasury was hidden, and only Livy can open it. Furthermore, only some loyal followers know about it, Warden Cane being one of them, and Noa found out from him.

That’s why Ace never left this place and chose the identity of Charlee because Livy would think Charlee would leave right after him like always.

But alas, this wasn’t Charlee…
