Blood Continent, in the Sky Fire Elemental Clan territory, was the Sky Fire City ruled by the clan itself. The Sky Fire Clan was famous for its forging techniques, and their runic smiths were famous throughout the world.
Because of their special bloodline, Sky Fire, they had flawless control over flames, and they were hot-tempered by nature, not to mention arrogant.
In the entire Blood Continent, only the Purple Lightning Clan could make the Sky Fire Clan wary.
However, for the past four years, the once mighty Sky Fire clan was losing its reputation and had become a laughingstock of the entire blood continent. It was all because of a thief named All-Seeing Evil!
No one knows where the All-Seeing Evil came from, but his rise was meteoric. The first thievery record by the All-Seeing Evil was in the small affiliated clan of the Sky Fire Clan.n-/OvElb1n
Because of the danger of the Sky Stealer, any thief or anything related to thievery was no longer taken lightly, and the higher-ups had given the clear order to purge anything related to thievery.
Furthermore, the blood continent had never experienced any thievery before, so they were even more inclined towards stopping it at all costs. They only acknowledge the Sky Stealer's abilities to steal from them.
However, the All-Seeing Evil completely turns their beliefs upside down. Much less the person they can't even find clues about the thief's shadow. But for some strange reason, the thief knew all of their secrets and always stole when they all least expected.
Furthermore, this thief, like the Sky Stealer, leaves a special symbol and his name crafted from high-quality Qi stone coin behind whenever he steals. This symbol especially became famous when the thief started to target people instead of treasures, and this quickly spread all over the Blood Continent.
If you lost your treasures and found a Qi stone coin with the symbol of a black eye instead, it means the All-Seeing Evil had seen you!
The most flustered about this situation was naturally the Sky Fire clan because the blasted thief was only activated in their territory. It was like he knew just how much wealth they had and wouldn't go away until he took it all away.
Nowadays, the entire Sky Fire City is filled with security, and to enter this place, one needed to undergo a myriad of identity checkups, and this was only the case for those who were on the special entry list. Those on this list can't enter, no matter what!
Within the southern courtyard in the Sky Fire Palace, this courtyard belonged to the eldest princess of the Sky Fire clan, Zoie.
In a luxurious room, a country-toppling fair beauty with long crimson hair was sitting while her red eyes were locked on the empty space.
There was an invisible corporeal dark panel in front of her, which only she could see. At this moment, this panel had suddenly opened, and an emotionless voice rang.

'This mission is from the top!' Zoie, who was naturally Freya's real body in disguise, showed a grave expression.
All the excitement from finally reaching the Veteran Member vanished in smoke. She never expected that there would be a test directly from the 'goddess' to prove her qualification to be a true veteran.
'Since our dearest house leader didn't warn us about this mission, this could only mean he either didn't know or was not allowed to tell us. That prerequisite is a clear warning to not involve him in it or other members. It is my own test.
'Furthermore, I need to perform a single thievery worth 10 million HP, so I need to choose my target very carefully, or I'll be back to square one!' Freya's eyes shone with a grimace as she was finding it hard to reach this goal.
She had yet to perform a thievery worth 10 million HP; her highest thievery score was 2 million HP. She was only able to quickly reach this house rank first because the thievery done by her Avatar also counted.
Furthermore, most of her thieveries were done by her avatar in the demon continent!
That's how she was able to beat the maniac like Noa. But now that she saw this mission, she felt a huge pressure, and this mission wasn't something she could complain about because this mission wasn't from Ace.
'Sigh... just when I was planning to break through in peace and after acquiring this identity. I should've waited for my breakthrough before ordering my avatar to complete the remaining thieveries.
'The only place worth 10 million HP should be the treasury of Sky Fire Clan. My avatar didn't have my real abilities to infiltrate this level of place. What a huge headache. Now I understand why the leader always takes such huge risks.' She sighed helplessly before she stood up.
Suddenly, a gloating smile appeared on her enthralling face as she thought, 'Since I got this mission, didn't this mean the others will be getting the same kind of mission once she reached the house veteran rank?
'I wonder what will they do. Especially Winter, who's with the leader right now. She might get directly demoted because of it! I should keep it a secret from her. She'll be really mad when she finds this and will complain about injustice even more on call.
'As for our fearless Noa, she might be a real daredevil, and right now, the entire devil continent is after her because she's killing like crazy, and she's killing not just anyone but higher-ups of the devil race.
'I wonder how strong she had grown...'
Freya chuckled with a hint of playfulness as she exited the courtyard and headed toward the Sky Fire Palace's core area!
