Eternal Thief

Chapter 1248: All-Knowing Parrot Surfaced!



In a small shop located at the corner of the Northern Gordian Sect City's black market, Freya looked at Aliya, who had disbelief written all over her face.

"Miss, are you s-sure this is safe?" Aliya asked with a hint of apprehension as she looked at her mistress.

Freya knew what Aliya was hinting at and chuckled charmingly, "Don't worry, everything I'm doing is after the leader's consent. Did you successfully deliver the letter?"

Aliya pursed her lips as she nodded aggressively, "I did. As for whether those conceited Sea of Secrets bastards had picked it up or not, I'm not sure. Anyway, I'm not talking about our Leader's safety. I would rather believe that the sky is falling than consider the Sky Stealer getting caught. I'm talking about your safety! You're putting yourself in too much danger by exposing yourself.

"Even if this plan works, there is no guarantee that the Sea of Secrets will let you join them. In fact, they might even capture you after suspecting you are in cohort with the thief who can steal from the bank, or worse, what if they alert the Bank instead? Aren't we sitting ducks here?"

Freya's smile didn't vanish; in fact, she smiled even more brightly, like a lily blooming in winter, "I know it's dangerous, but you shouldn't underestimate me. How long have we been together? You should know better than anyone that I won't do something unless I have complete confidence in doing it."

Aliya curled her lips as she retorted, "Didn't you still fall for his tricks?"

Freya was speechless as she glared at Aliya for bringing up the most humiliating incident of her life, yet for some reason, a hint of nostalgia appeared in her eyes, "I guess it was our fortune in the guise of misfortune. Or do you think we had a chance to witness this vast world, not to mention reaching the Mortal Ascension Heaven and becoming Law State cultivators in our lives?"

Although Aliya might call her miss and respect her, they were both like sisters and close friends because they had been raised from the bottom of the Mighty Demon Continent and created the Spica Syndicate from nothing.

That's why Aliya never held back whenever they were together, and she always advised Freya whether she liked it or not. Even now that they are part of the Thief House, they are still as close as ever.

Nonetheless, Freya knew Aliya didn't like taking risks that involved putting herself in danger, and she would rather do it herself.

Aliya couldn't help but sigh, as she couldn't retort since she knew Freya was telling the truth. Even she was shocked when she found that they had unknowingly crossed an entire freaking heaven, and after she became Freya's acolyte, the cultivation technique she got was even more startling, and its potential was limitless.

Although Aliya didn't have good feelings for Ace since he was the reason her mistress suddenly changed and led her astray, she couldn't deny that he also brought them the biggest opportunity of their lives that they couldn't even dream of in the past.

Moreover, as someone closest to Freya, Aliya could tell that Freya seemed really happy in the Thief House, especially when she talked about that treacherous leader of hers. Aliya felt a sense of jealousy despite not admitting it.

However, Aliya still didn't like what they were doing. Freya was taking a huge risk and even resented Ace for agreeing to her reckless request. But it was too late now since the plan was already in motion.

"How about you create a Witch Avatar to use as a substitute to confront the Sea of Secrets?" Aliya suggested worryingly.

She knew about Freya's ability to create a Witch Avatar since she had done so in the past by making Jessie Campbell her Witch Avatar. Still, Freya later discarded her because she couldn't increase her cultivation by a major realm as long as a Witch avatar existed, and her soul remained split.

Furthermore, once she discards a Witch avatar and merges back her soul, the avatar's body turns to dust. That is also why she could claim the name of the All-Knowing and All-Seeing Evil because she can be in two places at the same time.

Freya shook her head as she replied, "No yet. With my grade-9 bloodline, I can't possess and turn a law state cultivation into my witch avatar, and at this point, an elemental state cultivator body is too weak and useless for me. I need to upgrade my bloodline ascension grade and evolve into an Illusionary Black Witch from an Illusionary Witch. Only then can I have a law state avatar, and who knows, I might awaken some new bloodline ability as well?"

Realization dawned on Aliya at this moment, and she looked deeply at Freya, who was still smiling, and hesitantly asked, "Miss, you do not just want to join the Sea of Secrets for our organization, am I right?"

Freya glanced at Aliya with a hint of surprise, and a glint of coldness flashed past her eyes. She nodded without denying it, "Aliya, you're still the only one who knows me the best. But don't worry. I just want to confirm a few things and get the answers to some unanswered questions. Consider it a venture to bury past regrets.

"You don't need to worry. I know what I'm doing, and I have many trump cards to escape with my life even if things went south!" A hint of undying determination flashed past her eyes, "No matter what, I must join the Sea of Secrets or find a way to get my hands on their entire secret records! Don't forget, the black market is also our target if things don't work with the Sea of Secrets!"

Within the Sea of Secrets branch in the Northern Sect Guardian City, a masked figure was holding a letter. After reading its content, a hint of shock surfaced in its eyes.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"How interesting. I don't know if this 'All-Knowing Parrot' is trying to mess with us, but if this information really turns out to be true..." After a pause, a faint, amusing chuckle escaped behind the mask. "Since you want to join us, I'll give you a chance, All-Knowing Parrot!"

The next moment, a talisman appeared in its hand, starting to shimmer as the person commanded, "Keep an eye out for any news on the Prime Heavenly Bank Branch in the Northern Guardian Sect City. I want even the tiniest detail of any strange event revolving around the bank. Also, send someone to keep an eye on a person. I'm giving you an address. Run a deep background check. I want everything on this person in front of me in an hour!"
