《Eternal Thief 》Chapter 140: New Skill: Thief’s Charity
Advertisement
James has a wise and calm personality. That's why he didn't panic like others and search for some clues before confirming his guess.
Now he knows everyone was doubting him and if he didn't give them a proper explanation, they all might torture him.
"Please calm down, everyone. I know this name because I found this fragment Qi stones in my pocket." Jason quickly showed the fragment Qi stone in his hand to everyone.
Since everyone was a cultivator, their eyesight was very good, and they saw on the fragment Qi stone was engrave something in crude small writing.
But everyone can read what was written on it.
It was;
"Thank you for this wealth. I'll cherish it well. Sky Stealer."
"Insolent!" A furious roar sounded in the victim's group.
"How can I believe that's not your doing to escape this situation?" Macey still didn't buy it.
"Please check your robes and if I'm not wrong, you might also have the same fragment Qi stones. Just think about it. This thief can leave those tattoos on your skin without even you. knowing slipping these Qi stones would be just a breeze for him." James gravely said, "You can also scan my body this will prof I'm just a victim like you guys."
Everyone quickly searches, just as James indicates.
The crowd on the side was closely observing this as if they were beholding some magic show as well as those guards of the organization because it was all happening outside their gates.
In everyone's shocking gazes same 96 more fragment Qi stones appeared from other victims with the same phase of words!
"That insolent thief I'll cut him into millions of pieces!" A viscount crushed the fragment Qi stone into powder as his face was twisted with hatred.

Everyone's face turns dark as charcoal because this wasn't just daylight robbery, it was a slap to their faces.
Not only did this Sky Stealer rob these nobles, but he even leave 'gifts' behind.
The crowd that was watching this also exclaim as some of them couldn't help but felt a deep respect for this Sky Stealer and somehow this overbearing name sounded more fitting and well deserved!
"Sir James, you are the one with vast knowledge. Please tell us how should we found him?" A Baron respectfully asked.
Now that the misunderstanding was clear, they all can see this lesser noble was wittier than anyone of them. That's why they all hopefully looked at him.
'Two-faced scums.' James scoffed inside.
"I also don't know, but he's not in this crowd." James respectfully said and didn't show disdain on his face.
"Why did you think like this?" other women in the victims' group asked, with a pale face.
Everyone's eyes narrowed while the crowd listened with great interest.
James takes a deep breath as he said, "Just by this thief skill, one can see he isn't normal and he is greatly skilled in deception. He might already leave long ago and we only noticed it now after all our prime focus was on the colosseum before. If not for Viscountess here, we might still didn't notice it."
The atmosphere turns grim hearing James's words because they all can understand James's words were very much on the point.
"Didn't this mean we lose our storage rings and wealth inside!" Someone spokes as if he would cry at any moment.
Everyone's faces were ashen, and the crowd has a sigh of relief because if these guys didn't find anyone to blame, they might kill everyone here in the name of justice.

Now, however, they all seen just how capable this thief was and he would not stay here to get captured. He even leaves his name so they all know who did the deed and do not blame anyone.
'What a strange fellow, leaving his name clearing means he didn't want these innocent people to drag in.' James guess but didn't point it out. He was a peace lover and didn't like bloodshed.
As for his storage ring, he didn't care about it since he can get a new one and he didn't store all his wealth like some people in this group of victims in one place.
'I like to meet this Sky Stealer fellow. Since you put some effort into stopping the bloodshed, let me help you.' James thought without any resentment.
But there was still little grievance in his heart. After all, there were ten thousand low Qi stones in his storage ring and that ring alone was worth 100,000 low qi stones.
"How about this? We should scan each and everyone here and let them go. We don't want the organization to interfere, right?" James suggested.
"Yes, we can't cause commotion outside the gates of colosseum like this. Everyone with Qi Foundation Building cultivation; check these people one by one and let them go. If you find anyone suspicious, bring them here." Macey order and everyone sprang into action.
---
Inside the colosseum, no one has any idea about the tremendous commotion caused by a thief.
'I wonder if they found my message easily.' Ace thought as he disembarks the carriage.
This thief's charity was the skill he created on the structure of pick-pocket. Meaning it was a reverse pick-pocket of a sort.
It takes him some time, but he manages to pull this off. He specifically created this skill to leave his name behind.
Because people always name him with strange titles and he didn't like any of them, especially the last one.
Furthermore, he can also give others the actual target of their anger and he can become famous with it as well.
It's just that he can only send small objects with this skill like qi stones at this moment. But it was enough for him.
As for why he chose fragments Qi stones for the substitute of paper, it's all because he just felt great about it!
This name also matched the gesture and Ace like the sound of it. That's why he called it Thief's Charity!
However, Ace does not know just how much famous he'll become because of this new method of his in the future, and also got caught because of it!

Guerdon
The sheer vastness of the planes of reality meant that if a combination of laws is stable enough, then it probably exists. The protagonist encounters one such stranger than fiction world that he has a hard time wrapping his head around. He is left alone in an Alien Reality. To him survival isn't the most important after all that he had been through, but he refuses defeat in his pursuit to understand the strange reality he finds himself in. Join this journey of his new story in finding out the answers and secrets of this world. I like this Genre to put it bluntly but I've always found that illogical 'Science' and flawed laws of the world, typical in these stories. So, I've decided to fix that. I have tried my best to make weirdness make sense in this World filled with Magic. Short of simulating them to verify, the laws of this new world should make some reasonable sense and will be consistent (As much as I humanely can keep it that way). This might mean my story might vary in it's progression speed but as a compensation, I promise to have a lot more sensible Cliffhangers if I must put them in. Also, I'm not a big fan of over using vocabulary when telling a story. So, My Language will be very unsophisticated. Hope that's not a putoff. So, Enjoy your reading!
