Eternal Thief

Chapter 160 - Coalition

Ace had long been noticed this group approach, but he didn't think this would be the group of the royal family. Although he had their soul signatures, he never remembers small fries and only took note of someone like that mystery's expert.

"Y-your… highness… I didn't know it was. Please forgive me." The scarred-eyed boy immediately kneels in front of Mark and pleaded for his grave mistake.

However, Mark didn't even glance at him as if this scarred-eyed boy was invisible to him. He only looked at Leo with a faint smile on his face as if he was implying something.

Leo coolly speak after noticing Mark was looking at him knowingly, "Your Highness, don't take offense, it was just a minor mistake. You were the one who was sneaking around. I hope you can be magnanimous and forgive my subordinate."

Everyone inhales sharply seeing Leo talking so casually to Prince Mark as if they were bosom friends.

But when everyone saw Mark's expression stiffen they all hearts sank because the meaning of this was they were not friends and Leo was provoking a hornet nest.

One had to know Leo's party only had twenty members while Prince Mark's had twenty. If the fight breaks out it would be the end of Leo.

After all, no one can do anything to Prince Mark as long as the news of this event does not get out, which also means everyone here will be killed so the White Duke and also Leo's father, could not retaliate.

"Fine, I won't blame this salve for what he said since we come here unannounced. But leave this place it is under royal family control now." Mark pursed his lips while saying.

This surprised everyone because they didn't expect the Prince to not retaliate and even let Leo's party leave safely.

Even Ace was surprised by this scene and deeply looked at the silver hair youth because till now he has encountered no one who can speak with their superior with no fear. And the most surprising thing was the superior was backing down, and this superior was to be a prince no less.

'A prince is afraid of a Duke's son. This Young Duke is interesting.' Ace observed this situation with more interest now.

"Forgive me your highness but I came here first, so this place is mine. Why not you go ahead, I heard there is an even better place. I left it especially for you since our Young Prince deserved the best." Leo coolly said with no hint of fear in his voice.

'Madman!'

Everyone thought this as they looked at Leo and those living baits take two steps backward since they could sense the tabulation in the air.

Most of them wanted Leo and Mark to fight because they will escape, in the confusion. But some of them with brains didn't want this fight because everyone's Qi was blocked and they won't be able to survive if some demonic beast or incest attacked them during their escape.

Mark's face fell, he was indeed a little afraid of Leo because Leo was known as White Ghost for very good reason. Leo had killed a Duke son before whom cultivation was Early Stage Qi Foundation Realm in a single move!

This cause a huge ruckus in the capital and the King didn't even punish him, on the contrary, the Duke's family vanished after that incident in a single night!

No one ever investigates this incident as if it never happened.

But those higher up of the kingdom knows the reason for this is Leo's Father White Duke!

Mark clearly remembers his father the Regal King's warning; to not fight with Leo in any way or the consequences will be disastrous!

That's why Mark let this offense slide so easily or if there was someone else he would've killed that dog before punishing the owner afterward.

But now Leo was provoking him in front of so many people with no restrains and if this news would leak he would become the laughingstock of the entire kingdom.

Mark was going to fight it out with Leo when Haley who was silent all this time speak.

"How about we share this place since we all are here?" Her voice was very pleasant to the ears.

Leo looked at Haley and a peculiar glint flash past his eyes.

"I have no problem with Her Highness Princess's suggestion." Leo nonchalantly said.

Mark frowned and looked at his younger sister with displeased eyes. He was not fond of anyone deciding for him.

"Royal Brother, we need all the personnel we have, did you forget from the reports, there are early Qi foundation stage demonic beasts here." Haley impassively said to her Royal Brother.

Her voice was not loud but everyone heard her clearly and their face darken hearing this grave piece of information.

Only Leo was unfazed by this news because he already knew this but seemingly he wasn't afraid.

"Let's fight it out with them, if those powerful demonic beasts showed up we're nothing but sitting ducks here!" Someone in the group of Mark's living bait yelled.

"Shut up, do you think we can fight with those perfectly fine nobles? If you want to die, then die alone!" A second person retorted gravely.

At this moment a subordinate of Mark moves and with no warning cuts the person's head who speaks first!

That person was poison, to begin with, and so he didn't retaliate. After that person was killed no one even breathed heavily because they were afraid of the same fate.

"Don't interfere between nobles!" He coldly looked at those living baits and warn them.

Every living bait that has the same thoughts as that first person quickly threw them away because it was impossible to escape these people.

Mark didn't pay any attention to this little ruckus because all his attention was on Leo who was now looking at Haley with lascivious eyes.

As for Jena she never spoke even once and was calmly observing the situation. She was beautiful but compare to Haley it was different between earth and sky.

Although she had an intimate relationship with Leo, she knew Leo was known for his weakness to beautiful women and she was also using this weakness for passing this test. So, it didn't bother her if Leo had over one beauty by his side as long as Leo didn't forget about her.

But even Jane had to admit that going straight after Princess Haley was courting death!

Mark's face was extremely ugly when he saw Leo was so insolent that he was looking at his sister like this, in his presence.

'I'll kill him the moment I get the chance!' Mark swore and forcefully hide his killing intent before saying.

"Fine, we'll work together. But I want the first catch of Phantom Horn Lizard!" Mark pursed his lips.

"How about we divided it equally?" Leo coolly said.

"Fine." It was Haley who agreed before Mark had any chance to say anything.

Mark resentfully looked at his sister and harshly said, "Don't make my decision for me again!"

Haley however said nothing and merely nodded slightly as if she didn't care about her brother's feelings.

Mark's face darken seeing Haley completely ignoring him but he could do nothing but wait when they were alone before educating his sister in private.

"We will divide the haul in 70/30. Take it or leave it!" Mark coldly purposed while looking at Leo.

Leo deeply looked at Haley before answering Mark's proposal, "I agree since Prince Mark has more people it is very normal for you to take the large part of the haul."

"Then let's start before the rain or this method won't be effective." A boy with scholar looks said. He was at Mark's party. He only speaks after the alliance was formed.

"Than what are you waiting for?... Lead them!" Mark coldly said.

The scholar boy quickly nodded, he knew Mark was not in a good mood and he don't want to be his punching bag.

"Your Highnesses, and Young Duke please take cover and leave these living baits behind." The scholar boy grimly said.

Leo merely nodded and find a cover with Jane and his subordinates leaving 41 living baits behind. Mark's party does the same and leaves the vacancy.

After everyone left only the scholar boy and the boy who cut off the person's head remained with 221 living baits.

The group of living baits was blueish pale seeing the time has finally come but they could do nothing even if they had the number. These nobles have played their cards well and only approached them after they were in their weakest state and they had no choice but to swallow that pill.

Now they could only pray; they just take some of their blood and let them go afterward.

"Begin!" The scholar boy looked at the boy beside him and nodded his head grimly.

The boy smiles like a grim ripper and with no warning he slashed his raptor vertically like lightning towards ten living baits' throats standing before him!
