Chapter 973 Sky Bandit
At night, in a dark alleyway, two cloaked figures appeared. One of them was Ace in Abner's disguise!
"Fool of the dirt?" A coarse voice sounded from the other person.
"King of the earth," Ace replied impassively, as this was a secret identity verification code.
The other person didn't tarry once he confirmed Abner's identity and handed over a golden ring, "Good luck!" He said before vanishing without a trace.
Ace didn't remain either and vanished; he reappeared on the streets with another disguise and saw the contents of the ring.
There were two golden talismans with white runes and a letter, 'Space runes? So, they are teleportation talismans, huh?' Ace instantly recognized them.
The letter was from the second prince, Darren. There was written the use of those two talismans. Once they are activated, they will transfer two people to the edge of Golden Lands, and by using them again, they can send them back as well before those talismans turn into dust.
Furthermore, the user needed to keep these talismans on a person all the time, or they would get noticed by the security of the Golden Lands. Lastly, these talismans also have limited area access; they can only give access to the outer region of the Golden Lands, not the inner region.
Ace had to admit the imperial family was really resourceful in making these kinds of talismans. The second prince got two of them for Riana, and the other person accompanied her. He was doing all this to win her favor, but he didn't dare to go himself just in case things went south.
All the blame would fall on the Crown Prince if they were discovered, so it was a win-win situation for Darren no matter the results, and that's why he made arrangements so quickly.
These kinds of announcements were made all over the city, and soon, the city was completely deserted. Soldiers of the royal family flooded the streets as they were to search every inch of the city and every person without any restraint.
Ace also returned to his inn, but he wasn't worried at all. He was the one who left behind a small note and Sky Bandit's name in the empty treasury of the Wild Hungry Pavilion, even though Eva wasn't aware of it.
Although he didn't use his own name, he couldn't just leave without calming the thievery. It was a habit that he didn't want to change, but he also didn't want to reveal his thief symbol since this might alert the Heavenly Mortal Emperor if he was aware of his status as Heaven's Stealer.
Nonetheless, the response he got was quite great, and the kingdom's reaction was also decisive. He was sure that those who had left the Golden Lion Kingdom during this time were all part of the scrutiny and investigation.
At this moment, both of the projection cubes from the Crown Prince and the Second Prince begin to blink.
His lips curled, 'It seemed they also received the news and wanted to hear details from Abner. Too bad he's no longer in the world.'
Smiling thievishly, he took out a golden talisman and poured his Qi into it, and the next moment, he vanished from the inn without any trace. When the people come to search, they will know that this room was booked in the name of Abner, an imperial envoy.
Now that he had vanished, no one knew how they would take it if he became a suspect. The Crown Prince wouldn't escape the implication, or they might directly claim him to be the traitor.
Furthermore, the second prince will also notice someone has gone wrong once this news reaches him.
Ace had caused huge trouble for both princes, but alas, it was just the start!
