Chapter 770: Weak Thief.
With the information on how to advance to rank 9, he can simply create his own Supreme Metac. And if what the Thorn House of Commerce is hiding is not related to how to advance to rank 9, he can force Money Body to tell him how to create one.
For example, he can use the divine constellation to inquire about Money Body’s secret until Money Body caves in and makes a deal with him using the information.
So until he needs Money Body, the fate of the Thorn House of Commerce will be up to them, and whether he destroys them or not will depend on what they force him to do.
With that thought on his mind, he activated all of his Divine Metacs to speed up. He wasn’t going to the Blessed Heaven World for Slav, but he still flew at full speed. This was so that he could arrive at the destination as fast as possible.
For some reason, he was in a hurry to grow stronger as fast as possible. Of course, this reason wasn’t some unknown thing. He knew why he was in a rush to gain strength, and he knew what his fate could be if he didn’t acquire a lot of strength as soon as possible.
His Cave Heaven had only just stopped shaking at the edge of collapse. It was still shaking, though. It just wasn’t at the risk of breaking apart because he remembered what he shouldn’t remember. But this slight shaking because of some memories is enough to motivate him to try and become stronger as fast as possible.
A while after he was gone, the three seers arrived at the small world. As soon as they arrived and saw the small world, Monarch Many Eyes stepped forward to lay claim to it.
Many Eyes wanted to rip out the heart of the world and take its world essence for himself. But Monarch Star Divination thought that this was a bad idea, so she stopped him.
She held an arm in front of him as he said, "Since the thief was here, it is likely that this small world belongs to him. Why don’t we wait here for him to return? Then we ambush him."
However, Monarch Eye Tracker didn’t think that this suggestion was a good idea, so he said, "There is a second."
His words made Monarch Star Divination pause. Then she said, "Let me check."
As she spoke, she activated her Divine Metacs and directed its ability towards the small world. When she did this, information about the small world began to appear in her mind.
What she saw made her smile. Monarch Many Eyes, who had been watching her, became anxious when he saw this.
He urged her, saying, "What did you see? What’s the good news?"
She said in reply, "Hold on a minute. I’m still looking."
Many Eyes was frustrated by her reply, but he decided to give her the time she needed to get all of the available and useful information. But his curiosity continued to increase, gnawing on his mind as it did.
Eventually, she finished with her spying. So she deactivated her Divine Metac and said, "I have good news and bad news."
Many Eyes was already in a bad mood, so he said to her with impatience, "Don’t keep me in suspense."
So she nodded and said, "The bad news is that this world doesn’t belong to the thief. Instead, it belongs to the Thorn House of Commerce. So you can’t take it."
Many Eyes sighed in relief when he heard this and said, "Fortunately, you stopped me from going to take it, or I would be in big trouble."
She nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, you would be in a lot of trouble with the Thorn House of Commerce because they have someone here to watch and protect the world. So Eye Tracker was right when he said that there was a second person here."
Her words made Many Eyes look around warily and say, "Where? Why don’t I see anyone?"
Eye Tracker pointed at the distant world and said, "There."
When Many Eyes heard his answer, he shook his head and said, "My eyes are still not good enough as yours. All I can see is a world. I can’t see what’s inside the world."
In response, Monarch Eye Tracker shrugged and said, "Your loss."
This made Many Eyes nod and say in agreement, "It is indeed my loss. If you hadn’t been here to stop me, I would have suffered more losses."
Monarch Star Divination decided to interject at this point. She coughed loudly and said, "Anyway, there is still some good news."
"The good news is that the thief ran away from this world. It is likely that the presence of the sentry here scared him off."
"In that case, the strength of the thief might be weaker than the strength of the sentry. Since the sentry is Money Armor of the Thorn House of Commerce, we now know what the upper limit of the strength of the thief is."
Eye Tracker added another bit of information by pointing nearby and saying, "He stayed for a while."
She thought that he was being overly cautious, so she rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, I know that the thief stayed there for a while before he left. But that doesn’t change the fact that he ran away."
Eye Tracker thought that it was interesting that the thief was able to sense Money Armor from this position, while Money Armor didn’t seem to sense him, which should be the other way around, since Money Armor should have a bigger perception range than the thief.
So it was likely that the thief never spotted Money Armor and had left for an entirely different reason other than fear of Money Armor. But since Star Divination didn’t think there was anything to worry about, he decided not to worry about that.
