Shockingly, these people were from the Nightmare Ghosts Organization, and an even more shocking thing was the infamous black assassin Black Reaper being respectful to a Crown Prince of an empire!
If Alvin or Lan saw this, this would shock them because the Nightmare Ghosts were a very conceited bunch, and they never show humbleness toward anyone except their leaders.
"Oh? This forest seemed quite interesting." Marc smile faintly.
After 'talking' with his fiancé Green Flame Zelda, he now had some idea just how bizarre that thief truly was, and he was even more interested in capturing him alive than dead.
As for how he knew so quickly about the appearance of that thief, it was all thanks to Luminous King. The Luminous King kept providing him information about the plans of Lan and Alvin for many days without no one knowing.
The moment they heard the thief has appeared again, Marc quickly contact the Ghosts since he needed someone to keep the people of Pill Flame and Beast Calling in check until he captured and take away that thief.
As for why the Ghosts helped him and even being compliant toward him, it all because…!
"Yes, Crown Prince, it's very dangerous, and it would be wise to no go deep inside." A crisp voice of a woman sounded from another cloaked figure, there was a hint of fear when she warned Marc.
"Fine, I just want something of mine that little thief stole." Marc coolly stated as a hint of killing intent flashed past his eyes when mentioning 'something'.

While the powerful forces were moving toward the earthen mist forest's outermost area at full speed.
The forest was quite lively because of a thief. The search was still going, but no one seem to find him.
Somewhere inside the earthen mist forest, inside a cave hidden within Emerald Mist.
Inside, a young man was sitting while staring at the air with burning eyes, as if he was looking at something invisible to others.
Who could this be but Ace, who was looking at the notification panel of the system with elation!
He was looking at the thievery count after his 'hard labor' and he seemed quite satisfied and thrilled.

Ace was grinning ear to ear like a manic when he saw the huge amount of thief points. He just robbed one-fifth of the participants, and he already got 2 million TP, this was a TP farm, and he was pleased he does this.
However, this wasn't the end of it the symbol of Thief Panel was also shining bright, and he knew what it's meant.
'Thief Panel.' He quickly opened the thief panel with eagerness.

[{Thievery Count Section}]
[Low-Level Thievery: 2,537]
[Middle-Level Thievery: 1]
[High-Level Thievery: 0]
====
Ace took a deep breath when he saw a new condition for leveling-up Thief Title. He knows just how hard it was to score middle-level thievery, and it's going to take a while before he could enter the next rank of Thief Title.
But what confused him, even more, the low-level thievery count was the same, and the system didn't deduct the previous 500 thieveries and left them there.
'Well, five hundred fewer thieveries for me, then.' Ace grin.
Just as Ace was about to close the thief panel, the system's emotionless voice declared,
===
[Congratulation on reaching Thief Trainee Rank]
[Reward(s): Thief Trainee's Hood]
[Do the host want to claim the reward now?}
{Yes/Later}
===
"What?!" Ace exclaimed out loud, he didn't think there was a reward since he didn't get any instantly when he reached the requirements for level up.
The only explanation was it happened when he opened the Thief Panel.
He took a deep breath as he tried to calm his wildly beating heart, "Of course, I'm calming it!" He quickly mumbled as he shifted his thought to 'yes' in the transparent panel.
===
[The reward has been transferred into thief's space]
===
Ace quickly looked inside the thief space that was filled with unique treasures and storage rings, he shifted his attention towards the section where he kept the treasures he got from the system; he called them Heavenly Treasures now.
He quickly spotted an extra treasure beside the two pitch-black swords and quickly took it out.
In Ace's hand, an imposing inky long coat with hood appeared, it was giving off a feeling of the night when one looked at it. The fabric was like feathers, there were dark blue runes engraved inside the long coat.
Ace admire the work with a grin and just as he turned it around his eyes contracted because on the back a twenty-four-inch large dark blue owl was embroidered! It was the thief symbol, the dark owl.
"System, what are the functions of this Trainee's hood?" He quickly asked because he knew this wasn't just a simple long coat just by looking at those dark blue, mysterious runes. He can't even see through them with his runic eyes!
"[100TP for descriptions.]"
"As stingy as ever, just take it." Ace snorted.

[Thief Point(s): 2,165,900]

[Thief Trainee's Hood: Tier-12 Runic Treasure]
{Descriptions: A treasure that can only be used with Heavenly-Darkness Qi.
Ability(s): Self-Repair, Self-Sustain, Color Change, 5% Increased in Thief-related skills.}
{Thief's Skills: Stealth (Any kind of Stealth skills with not Attack-Power), Picking-Skills (Skills like Pick-pocket & Treasure Opening Hands)}
===
(Author's Note: Soul Shattering Eyes and Misperception Sky Steps Art do not fall in the category of Picking Skills because they have attack powers, and they're not pure skills just for thievery.)
---
Ace eyes shimmer with elation, even if this treasure was only tire-12 runic treasure, it was still something of a much higher grade than those runic treasures that only had 9 runic ranks!
He quickly changes his old hood which wasn't even a runic treasure with Thief Trainee's Hood after imprinting it with his Heavenly Mark.
The moment Ace released his Heavenly-Darkness Qi in the long coat, it adjusted on its own according to his tone-body. He looked like a Night King with that owl on his back.
He tries to move and was astonished because his movements were smooth, and he didn't feel any hindrance. Furthermore, he was very satisfied with this unexpected reward.
'If I can get this reward after leveling up in rank, then doesn't it means I'll get more after I level up again?' Ace mused as his thirst for theft reach new heights.
'I still have a day before anyone reached here, I should take full advantage and at least complete five thousand low-level thieveries before starting the next phase of my plan!'
Instantly, Ace active the breathless stealth and dissolved in the surrounding, and it was more powerful now because of the Thief Trainee's Hood.
Since the system deemed this skill a thief's skill, it was 5% more potent than before. Now he can fool the martial sense of a newly advanced Qi river core cultivator to some extent.
Ace quickly pick a group of people protected by two empty river cultivators. His lips rose as he stealthily moved closer to them. He was used to these kinds of groups after he robbed so many people like these.
He appeared ten meters away from a group of fifty people, all of them wore expensive and high-level equipment.
After scanning the group, he didn't find any storage rings on them and Ace's smile widen as if he was used to this scenario.
'They make it simpler again.' With a faint smile, he used soul probing on a little girl, the weakest in the group. After five minutes, he stopped using the soul probing and leave the vigilant group alone.
Ace reached a specific area filled with trees, he looked carefully and, on a tree, he spotted a particular vague mark as if it was naturally formed.
"Heh, they're becoming more creative." With a sneer, he sent a soul tread toward the vague mark, and instantly the soul thread penetrated a husk area behind that mark.
Inside, Ace found a storage ring and quickly used the pick-pocket.
====
[Successful Pick Pocket Count: 50]
[Low-Level Thieveries: 33]
[Total Rewards: 7,800TP]
---
[Thief Point(s): 2,173,700]
---
[Low-level Thievery: 2,570]
=======
Might you ask why he didn't score only one instead of fifty just now? It was all because all those 49 storage rings inside this storage ring still had their owner's Qi Marks.
Consequently, as long as Ace pick-pocketed a storage ring with Qi Mark, it counted as a thievery score!
That's also the main reason Ace could score so many thieveries in so little time, all these idiots hide their storage rings like this, and he easily used soul probing and took them all at once!
