Eternal Thief

That's why Rayden was aggrieved and despised Finn for his dumb luck.

"Shut up. Is this any way of talking with your younger brother?!" Marquess Blaze berated Rayden.

Although Blaze has very high hope for Finn, even he never thought that Finn had some hidden talent for alchemy. 

Because in hidden selection no one got selected from the Regal Kingdom and now out of the blue, a very powerful expert has chosen his son. How could he not be excited? 

"Little Finn ignores your Elder Brother he's just dumb. I have splendid news for you." Marquess Blaze smiles broadly as the fat on his face quivered.

"What good news?" Finn asked in bewilderment.

Ace was now calm from before but Blaze's words make him agitate again. 

"Hehe, His Highness King Kale wanted to wed Princess Haley to my Little Finn!" Rachael spoke with a faint smile on her face before Blaze could.

"NO… I-I mean why?!" 

Ace nearly fell after hearing this ominous news.

If it was real Finn, he might have already reached cloud nine after hearing his ideal girl was going to be his wife. 

But Ace wasn't happy in the least bit since he already has a goddess-like wife and if she was conscious, she will kill these people who wanted her beloved husband to marry some 'ugly' duck.

"Oh, you don't want to marry your dream girl?" Kensley tease Finn after seeing his dumbfounded face. She had a very good relation with Finn and was happy for him.

"N-no, I… it just so sudden." Finn blush as he retorted to his sister. 

"Heh, don't celebrate too soon the marriage will only happen after you pass the test of Pill Flame Organization." Rayden scoffed at this moment.

'That's good then.' Ace had a massive sigh of relief after hearing the marriage was not happening right now. 

"If you speak anymore, I'll put you with those slaves!" Marquess Blaze coldly looked at his son and warn him stiffly.

Rayden shivers a little before quickly nodding. 

Rachael also gives a glare to her eldest son before speaking with Finn in a comforting tone, "Little Finn, don't sell yourself too low. After you enter the organization, there will be many like Haley in the line for you." 

"Shut up. Do you want to eradicate our family woman?!" Marquess Blaze quickly rebukes his wife. 

"Hmph, they can't do anything as long as Little Finn joins the Pill Flame Organization." Rachel retorted. 

"Yes. But he didn't yet!" Masques Blaze pulls a long face. 

"Time's up!" Alvin's commanding voice rang in the room.

The very next moment, Alvin enter the room in an imposing manner and coolly looked at Finn's family.

"Let him rest we have a long journey ahead of us." 

"Yes, yes. We were just leaving. Thank you for taking care of our son." Marquess Blaze wore a flattering smile and quickly thank Alvin. He didn't dare show any disrespect to this envoy. 

"Little Finn we'll be there to see you off in the morning." Rachael lovingly looked at her son and smile gently. 

"Alright." Finn nodded. 

After exchanging some words, the Eugene family left, leaving smiling Finn and cold Alvin behind. 

"Senior, are you taking me to the Pill Flame Organization?" Finn looked at Alvin with full of expectation. 

Alvin faintly replied, "Yes, if you did well I can ensure you that won't be our last destination." 

Alvin has checked Finn's condition before with his martial sense and he knew Finn was recovering quickly. He merely thought it was all thanks to the black ranked pill. 

'He should be up and running in the morning. I have to leave before those ghosts suspect anything.' Alvin thought gravely and leave Finn alone to rest.

Ace was finally alone again, 'Finally, I don't have to act anymore!' He sighed in relaxation.

For a long time, Ace has been looking at the ceiling deep in thoughts. 

'Now that I think about it, this is also an opportunity to reach the 1st-grade lands without going through those annoying tests. Furthermore, he took me to the main branch of Pill Flame in the Middle-lands himself.' 

Unknowingly a smile creeped out on Ace's troubled face.

Somewhere in the Regal Capital.

Natalia's figure was kneeling on the floor at this moment but strangely there was no one in this room. 

"Did you find any traces of that thief?" Suddenly, a mild voice drifted into the room. 

Natalia keep her head low and politely answer, "No I didn't find any trace of him. It seemed he did flee the Regal Kingdom." 

"Flee you say… so be it." The voice sounded vexed. "What about the Flame Guard?" 

"I didn't encounter him again, and he's back in the royal palace. It seemed he's leaving tomorrow." Natalia replied faintly.

"Oh, leaving so soon. It seems I have to personally say goodbye." The voice coldly chuckles, "You're doing great, keep taking part in these ants' competition. If the thief is hungry for glory, then this is his best chance to get it." 

"Yes!" Natalia nodded solemnly.

At this moment somewhere in the 1st Grade Lands. 

"Did the envoy arrive yet?" An old husky voice sounded.

"No, my Lord but they'll be here in a week." A man in his late forties respectfully replied. 

"Any trace of the stolen treasury?" The old grim voice rang.

"W-we're searching." The man replied with intense fear. 

"Trash! All of you are trash!" The old husky voice roar in anger. "If you can't explain to the envoy, then everything is over for us!" 

"I-I know… but how did that item leave that cage? Aren't they say it's impossible?" The man asked with skepticism. 

"If anyone knows do you think they leave that thing in a place like that?! Search for that hateful thief we'll know how he leaves with that thing once we capture him!" The old voice blares in anger.

"B-but three giants…" 

Before that man could finish his words the old voice coldly cut him and asked in a mocking tone, "Do you think that person is afraid of three giants?!"
