Eternal Thief - #699 - 699 The Enforcer Sector (2)



Following behind the white puppet, Ace appeared outside a five-story old building that looked quite rundown at a glance. However, Ace felt a terrifying sensation from this old building. 

In the fate map, this building appeared red, and inside, no fate point was present.

“You may enter. The Yellow Officer will judge your qualification!” The white puppet emotionlessly uttered before the old wooden doors of the building opened. 

Ace glanced at the white puppet one last time before he entered the old building. 

However, Ace was startled when he saw the interior was completely different from the outer appearance.

It was spacious and pristine, but what shocked him was the moment he felt he was naked as a strange force enveloped him, giving him a creepy feeling. 

But he controlled his body not to tremble as it would be too obvious that he could sense that invisible force, and he was pretty sure he wasn’t supposed to sense it. 

Ace’s eyes landed on the yellow figure standing behind a counter, and he was astonished because that guy was dressed in the same manner as the white puppets, and the only difference was he was color yellow. 

‘This Yellow Officer is also a puppet!’ Ace knew there wasn’t any present in this building, so he was most likely right, and he felt even more assured that this entire reinforcer division might be nothing but build-on puppets. 

Hiding his emotions, Ace calmly walked toward the yellow officer who stood there like a statue. Ace was a meter away from the counter a husky voice rang. 

“Place your union token on this counter and state what rank and what rank you want to be tested for?” 

Ace did as he was told and placed the union token on the counter before he respectfully spoke, “I’m a Union Student and want to increase my rank to Union Scholar. I’m already an Empty Soul River Realm Cultivator, so do I need to take any test?” 

At this moment, Ace’s union token shone on the counter before the husky voice rang again, but this time a hint of surprise was contained deep within. 

“It’s your 50th day in the union?” 

“Yes,” Ace replied, and his eyes shimmered peculiarly when he noticed the ripple in that emotionless voice. 

Almost instantly, when Ace replied, Ace felt that mysterious force on him became ten times stronger and remained there for ten seconds before it vanished as if it had never existed, but he knew it was still there. 

‘I hope this mask is enough to fool whatever this probing is.’ Ace grimaced as he wasn’t feeling as confident as before after entering this place and finding out about the puppets of the reinforcer division. 

“Extraordinary! Truly extraordinary! Not only did you have Mortal Grade Fantastic Meridians, the Dark Meridians, you also seemed to have a Fantastic Soul Physique!” The voice rang again, and this time it contained clear ecstasy. 

Ace’s eyes behind the mask went wide when he heard, ‘Dark Meridians’ as it was the first time someone had pointed out his special meridians. Although it called them Dark Meridians while in truth, he has Primordial Darkness Meridians.

But still, he knew since he was capable of probing this much about his special meridians and reached that conclusion, then he had to be terrifying existence.

But he didn’t understand why this guy said he had a soul physique which he clearly didn’t.

Nevertheless, he knew he couldn’t be too obvious, and he needed to keep his calm and act like he was supposed to. 

“Umm, what is Dark Meridians?” White appeared surprised and confused.

“Manifest your Soul Qi!” However, the voice had no intention of answering him as it gave another command. 

Ace frowned behind his mask, but he knew he had no choice but to be obedient, so he manifested his worldly Light Soul Qi, which he was preparing to use with White’s identity.

But now, he felt it was not good for some reason. 

“Light element, not Dark? How’s that happened?” The voice sounded confused before Ace felt that terrifying probing envelop him again, and this time it lasted for a whole minute. 

“Strange, too strange… you haven’t cultivated an element technique, so you should’ve awakened a dark element or some rare variant of dark element.” The voice muttered to itself as the yellow puppet started to scratch its head.

‘How can he tell I didn’t cultivate any element-related technique?’ Ace felt even warier by this strange voice. But he knew this would not end well for him if he showed any strangeness at this point. 

He was now riding a tiger’s back, and he couldn’t take off just because he wanted to. 

“It might be related to your soul physique, which is stopping me from seeing your soul space.” The voice told Ace, which gave him another shock as he didn’t even sense this guy was trying to see his soul space. 

“No worries, no worries. You are probably the most talented person born in my union after its foundation was built.” The voice sounded in ecstasy. 

Ace never thought things would turn out like this, as he never thought his uniqueness would create this massive misunderstanding. 

He wanted to appear talented enough to draw Sun Lord’s attention, but he didn’t want to appear this talented that he might draw the attention of some terrifying old monster. 

This bodes nothing but bad news for him, especially after he encountered the old ghost Moon Fiend King. 

“I-I think you’re mistaken senior. I’m only human from the mortal domain. How could I can be worth such praise.” White said wryly. 

“Despite your talent, you are still humble, indeed, excellent. You don’t deserve to be rot in this place. I know a person who has been looking for a capable student for a very long time. I think he might be interested in you. Let me contact him to see if he’s interested. Wait here!” 

Ace was dumbfounded when he saw the yellow officer vanish and still felt it was all but a bad dream!

A very terrifying notion appeared in his mind at this moment, ‘Don’t tell me this guy was talking about the true master of the union?!’
