Eternal Thief - Chapter 1169: Back Door Opened!

Ace followed the four cloaked men back to the Weston Clan Estate. After leaving him in the guest hall, they quickly reported their encounter to the elders of the Weston Clans.

However, this has nothing to do with Ace, as he has been closely observing the Weston Clan Estate ever since he entered it, and he has already memorized the key points at the entrance.

“Big bro, there is lots of good food in this place!” Cyrus’s excited voice rang in his head.

Ace pulled with a wry smile, “I’m sure there is, but taking it is another story. Let’s be patient.

We are not here to steal, at least not yet. It’ll depend on the attitude of the Weston clan.”

He ambiguously stated.

At this moment, the closed door of the guest hall opened, and five figures in luxurious clothes walked in.

However, Ace’s expression changed ever so slightly when he saw the skinny old man with long crimson hair in the middle and a burly man beside him.

The old man was wearing a white scholarly robe with a crimson cauldron symbol surrounded by golden flames, and there were two golden crystalline stars were attached to his collar.

The burly man with fierce features was wearing a dark combat robe with crimson flaming borders, and there was a symbol of crimson flames in front of his chest, and two crimson stars were attacked to his collar.

Ace instantly recognized these special attires, which were the symbol of Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect’s Forger and Flame factions.

Those two crystalline stars of golden and Crimson color were also quite famous because only a Forger Elder and Flame Elder of the sect was eligible to have them!

Furthermore, the moment these two appeared, Ace instantly felt dangerous air around this burly man; he was extremely dangerous.

As for the other three, one was a middle-aged man with short red hair and a thick beard; he was the Western Guardian Lloyd Weston.

Besides him was a charming woman with a fierce expression on her oval face; she was Elder Marguerite.

Lastly, a tall, muscular man with a hint of hostility in his round eyes rubbed his finger with an owl tattoo on it.

This man was none other than the leader of the ground who was in charge of abducting… inviting George here, but he ended up being ‘marked.

‘

Nonetheless, Ace didn’t give a damn about the other three as he was feeling quite skeptical seeing those two men who should be the outer sect elders of the Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect, and he wondered what they were doing here.

It was completely out of his expectations since he knew these elders didn’t bother with the worldly matters of mortals and always stayed in the sect unless something extraordinary happened.

He knew he didn’t show a threat that could alert the sect, yet here they were, and Ace had already started to make plans for his exit if things started to go south.

“You recognized us, lad?” The skinny old man, who should be a Forger Elder, asked in an amiable tone, but his eyes were sharp like a hawk.

“Please forgive my disrespect.

I never expected to meet someone like two lords so soon.

Violet Yang Grand Sect George Edward humbly greets two Lord Elders!” George quickly pays his respect without any haughty air.

“He finally knows how to respect others…” The tall man muttered with a hint of gloating at this moment.

No one paid him any heed as the Forger Elder pulled a meaningful smile and said, “It is indeed an unexpected surprise since I was here for a personal matter, but I never thought I would find someone interacting like you.

”

“Lord Elder is too kind.

My little tricks are not worth mentioning.

Please forgive me if I have offended you.

But what I did was purely for self-defense, and I have no malicious intentions towards the Western Guardian Sect City.

I’m here to join the AIG sect, not to antagonize anyone.”

George humbly stated in a respectful tone.

“Oh, do you think you can antagonize the Western Guardian Sect City or the AIG Sect? Just with your thievish tricks?” This time, the Flame Elder spoke in a heavy tone as he coldly looked at George while releasing some of his pressure.

The temperature of the room instantly

rose.

Ace’s heart raced when he sensed the threatening pressure of the Flame Elder, and he had to admit he was no match for the other party and could only escape by using teleportation; otherwise, there was no escape.

Taking a deep breath, he replied, “I’m not delusional.

I wasn’t trying to offend Lord Elders.

Please forgive me if I was out of line.”

He quickly backed down since appearing too overbearing would only make him look like an arrogant idiot who seeks death.

Although he wanted others to see him as an arrogant guy who wasn’t afraid of anyone, he had no intention of creating an image of a suicidal maniac who didn’t know his limit.

This kind of person was not worth anything but a pawn.

The Flame Elder deeply looked towards him before he retracted his aura, as he looked towards the Forger Elder and asked, “What do you want to do now?”

The Forger Elder sighed as he looked towards George and then Lloyd, who seemed agitated but didn’t dare speak; his back was drenched with sweat.

Lloyd hadn’t expected that the same day he sent his men to find George, who had drawn many people’s attention, these two Sect Elders would arrive as well.

He knew they were to investigate his brother John’s death, and this Forger Elder was John’s master, while the Flame Elder was from the Sect Enforcer Hall.

However, what was truly out of Lloyd’s expectation was that these two would take an interest in George when they heard the report from his men about George’s arrival.

After hearing about George’s uncanny abilities and what happened in the black market, they even came personally to meet him.

It was clearly not Lloyd’s plan.

He wanted to rope George into the Weston Clan by backing him and making him loyal so he could use George’s talent.

Yet, these two elders had thrown a wrench in his plans, and now it seemed he might lose this talent.

“I must say, it’s been a while since I have come in contact with a daring youth like yourself, lad.

Even the top outer sect disciples can’t speak under Elder Homer’s aura, but you seemed to be only a little bothered by it.

”

The Forger Elder praised, causing the three bystanders further shock.

But his next words caused them even more shock and disbelief.

“If you want to join the AIG Sect, then there is another way besides the entrance test.

But it’s equally dangerous, if you can prove yourself then you can directly join the outer sect.

So, are you willing young lad?”

Even Ace was surprised by this sudden turn of events as he looked at the Forger Elder with a

strange gaze.

In the end, his eyes shimmered with resolution as he nodded, “Please give me your instruction, Lord Elder!”
