Chapter 1048 Thieves Gathered


    ??The Sky Heart ins has lost its peace in the past few years since the incident at the Wild Hungry Pavilion.


    Thievery incident that started on a small scale has now turned into monstrous heists that will go down in the annals of history. Furthermore, as the ruler of the Sky Heart ins, the Imperial Skr Family wasn''t even able to capture a signal from one of these thieves despite using its best forces.


    In thest thirty days, three royal pces of the three kingdoms, including the Golden Lion Kingdom, have been raided sessfully. This has caused huge upheaval, and the royals who were robbed have been bloody in their hunt for those thieves to retrieve their nation''s treasuries.


    But before this storm could settle in any direction, another even bigger storm hit, and this time, the epicenter of this storm was the Imperial Pce and the Sky Heart Imperial School!


    No one knows where this news started to spread, the full extent of this incident, or why it happened. But three days ago, the famed Sky Heart Imperial School principal, Zack Skr, entered the Imperial Pce by direction, raising their entrance to dust and wounding many imperial guards.


    This was just the start. That day, many heardrge explosions from the Imperial Pce, and powerful earthquakes made the entire city tremble until it finally died down after a few hours.


    But almost half of the imperial pce was raised to the ground, and Zack Skr went missing, never to be seen or heard from again.


    In response, the Imperial Family kept their silence, and the school anointed a new principal today, who was none other than the Vice Principal, Jenna. Her other identity was also made public as the Mortal Empress of the realm, which shocked many!


    However, this still didn''t quench people''s curiosity about the huge battle within the imperial pce, as many started to wonder if the imperial family was going through a civil war.


    But then the Imperial Family made another announcement the very day Principal Jenna took the reins of the school. ording to the announcement, Principal Zack didn''t fight anyone; instead, all thatmotion was because he had taken the next step into cultivation and ascended into the immortal realm.


    His breakthrough caused hugemotion, but he finally seeded in ascension, and the imperial family even announced a celebration for him once the imperial pce was fully restored.


    Yet many sneered at this, no longer believing the imperial family after they had failed to deliver many times in these past few years, especially those royals who had been robbed.


    Nheless, whatever the truth was, whether Zack ascended or was killed, the Imperial Family was still able to make him vanish despite his fame as the strongest expert of the Sky Heart ins. Many thoughts of rebellion instantly died down since the imperial family was still as strong as ever.


    The imperial familypletely quashed what happened in the secret realm; not even a whisper was leaked. The families of the deceased students, especially Evie''s family, were heavilypensated with many hard-to-refuse promises.


    While this drama unfolds within the imperial city, three dark shadows sneak into the imperial city without altering anyone and gather in an inn of the imperial city.


    "Just when I think we have finally done something unforgettable, he always manages to do something worse!" A dark-hooded woman in dark robes unhappilyined to her twopanions, who were dressed in the same manner.


    They were naturally the thieves who had been wreaking havoc in the Sky Heart ins for all these years, turning the upper ss into theughingstock ofmoners, Noa, Freya, and Winter!


    "Sister Faceless, why do you think this incident is rted to him? It''s not like every big thing is rted to him in some way, right?" Freya giggled as she found Winter''s grumbling cute, yet there was a hint of uncertainty in her voice as she had doubts about this.


    "Hmph, only that scoundrel can cause such amotion. I can bet 100 million Qi stones that this incident is rted to him!" Winter confidently dered.


    A sharp aura suddenly locked on Winter at this moment as a pair of icy pitch-ck eyes glowed darkly behind Noa''s hood, "Watch how you address him!"


    A chill went down Winter''s spine as she could almost smell the blood from Noa''s aura; still, despite her uneasiness, she was not going to be shunned as she growled, "You lunatic, what it has to do with you? Just how many people did you kill!? And why do you always kill your target after thieving? Sister Evil, I''m telling you someone is wrong with her!"N?v(el)B\\jnn


    "I dare you to say that again!" Noa coldly retorted as the room''s light started to dim, and her shadow started to spread, threatening to engulf everything.


    Even Freya was apprehensive of Noa''s deadly aura, and she smiled wryly when Winter dragged her into this, even daring to call Noa a lunatic. Although they all knew they couldn''t do anything to each other because of the Thief House rules, it was still going too far, and Winter seemed somewhat fiery and more fearless today.


    "Ahem, respected sisters, if you want to spar, you should do it somewhere else. We don''t want to draw unwanted attention. Especially you sister Assassin, don''t forget what leader told her." She crisply stated with a cunning smile.


    Just as she expected, the moment she brought ''leader'' into this, Noa''s deadly aura and the gloomy shadow suddenly vanished.


    "Hmph, if you don''t show some respect, don''t expect to get any!" Noa grimly warned before shepletely ignored Winter.


    "I don''t need respect from a lunatic!" Winter spat,pletely unafraid, and when she saw Noa no longer respond to her, she became angrier, "Hey, don''t you dare ignore me!"


    "There seemed to be something wrong with you." Freya finally sensed something amiss with Winter''s behavior; even Noa''s eyes narrowed.


    became angrier, "Hey, don''t you dare ignore me!"


    "There seemed to be something wrong with you." Freya finally Winter was stunned, "What? You''re taking her side now?"


    "No, you''re not behaving like usual. It''s as if you want to pick a fight." Freya stated with scrutiny.


    Winter finally noticed it, and she couldn''t help but curse, "Damn it! It has to be something to do with this bloodline upgrade. For some reason, I''m feeling emotional after my bloodline evolved into grade-8, and I broke through in the eighth realm. Do you think something is wrong with my cultivation technique?"


    Freya and Noa were startled; their bloodlines were now grade-8, and they had also broken into the Law Comprehension Realm, but nothing was wrong with them.


    "It''s Impossible. Our cultivation technique originated from a God. How could there be something wrong with it? It might be something to do with your bloodline. You are a magic beast. So, you should know the reason behind your emotional state more than us." Freya made an educated guess.


    Winter became silent as she started to mull over this strange issue. But she had no idea, and since her bloodline shouldn''t have the potential to reach grade 8, it was a mystery for her.


    ''Knock, knock…''


    At this moment, their room''s door was suddenly knocked by someone, which made them instantly raise their guards.


    "Who?" Winter asked, but her voice was that of a male.


    "Can Ie in?" A gentle voice rang.


    Freya''s lips curled up, "When did you start to knock?"


    The next moment, an ethereal dark figure appeared within the room. Then, canceling his skill, he revealed his smiling, handsome face behind the hood.


    "A gentleman should always knock before entering ady''s space, no?"
