The Regal Capital City was quite large as it spread in four hundred square miles. It was divided into three districts, Common, Royal, and Royal Palace.

At this moment, it was nighttime, but the outside avenue of the colossal golden city gate was packed with many people. 

Since the registration for the institute was begun a week ago, many youngsters were coming to register themselves because it will last for only sixty days and not a day further.

But there was tight security on the gate and the guards were scanning every single person with some kind of exquisite black mirror and checking their belonging included any storage space treasures. 

Everyone knows for what or whom this kind of security was. It was for the notorious thief Sky Stealer.

Seemingly, that thief was master of disguise and that made him even more difficult to discover that why all this security was placed by the organization itself! 

Almost everyone wanted to find him below royal lands, and the last place he was seen just happen to be the outskirts of the regal capital city! 

Many experts hid in the capital city at this moment and searched the entire Kingdom! 

.

Even the Regal King didn't dare to offend any of them. He could only pray that thief would not appear in his Kingdom again or it would be a calamity for the entire kingdom. 

Because if that thief showed up again, these people might kill anyone they suspected to be that thief without even caring for their statues! 

A hundred meters away from the gate, in the shadow of a large tree, a pair of sharp eyes were observing the bustling golden gate of Regal Capital City. 

This person hidden in the shadow was none other than Ace, who has reached the capital city this morning but was astounded seeing all the security measures.

That's why he observed and wait till night when his skills were even more powerful.

First, he was planning to enter the city in Victor's disguise but change his mind and found another face. 

As for sneaking inside, Ace didn't want to take any risks since he didn't know the capacity of those sensory treasures. He was sure about his new mask, but his skills were not at their peak state and this made it easier for him to decide on his next step. 

Truth to be told, Ace didn't think these people would take him so seriously and this somewhat made him even warier of the consequences of his actions. 

Although Ace had imagined this kind of thing happening, but not this fast. He wanted to inquiry further but didn't dare to carelessly talk with anyone since it might look suspicious. 

The girl was struggling to free herself from his grip, but the young man's cultivation was at the third gate and that rendered her struggle worthless. 

The most shameful thing was no one came forward to help her and everyone mind their own business as if they saw nothing. 

A cold smile appeared on Ace's face before he vanished on the spot. 

That boy dragged that girl in a remote area and said with a lustful smile, "Why are you struggling for? Just please me and I'll give you one or two Qi stones." 

"P-please let me go." The girl trembled like a kitten. She had an above-average face and was wearing plain clothes with a stack of Qi stones hanging on around her waist and only had the strength of 2nd gate cultivator. 

She looked like a commoner who was here to try her luck in the test, but caught the fancy of this lustful boy and was helpless to do anything since she was alone and no one wanted to help a commoner like her. 

However, the boy's mind was filled with vicious thoughts as he ignored her plea and move forward to rip her clothes but before he could touch her, the girl's terrorized face abruptly turn cold. 

The boy seems to sense something amiss as he wanted to get away from the girl but it was too late because a sharp dagger was already stabbed into his heart and it was done by that innocent-looking girl! 

The boy's eyes were wide open with disbelief as he felt the warm blood gushing out from the hole and his consciousness began to slip. "Who….hiikkk" 

Before he could say another word, the girl coldly twisted the dagger and he die just like that.

"Heh, all scum should die without mercy." The girl sneered coldly before she took the Qi stone sack from the boy's corpse and leave while humming a tone. 

No one could tell by the look that this innocent little girl just killed someone so easily. 

However, she didn't think someone was watching this all scene from shadows with great interest. It was, of course, Ace who followed those two here. 

From the start, he knew this girl's real cultivation was at the fifth Gate but she was using some kind of skill to mask it. 

"Scums like you deserve this kind of death." Ace mumbles to himself as he coldly watches the young man's corpse. 

After confirming that no one was around, Ace take off the Hundred-Face Deception Mask and quickly scan the young man's corpse with its 2nd-grade formation.

The silver gem on the mask shine for ten seconds. 

=====

[Face 3, has been successfully recorded in memory gem.]"

=====

Ace heard the system's notification in his mind and the silver gem also stop shimmering and returned to its dormant state.

With a flash of silver light, Ace has turned completely into that dead youngster! 

He didn't know his name, nor did he care, since he was alone and by his scummy nature, his friend would be in a single number. He wasn't interested in his memories, either.

As for that girl who killed him, Ace wasn't planning on mingling with her and it was a very slim chance that he would bump into her in this large city.

But if that happen, likely, she would not remember him and with his higher cultivation, she would think it is someone else since no one can come back from death with this kind of cultivation! 

After Ace was done with his disguise and put on some new black robes, he grabbed some dried wood from nearby and torch the boy of that young man. Now no one would find any evidence and this face completely belong to him.

"Now those hidden experts can't find me. I like these middle lands since they didn't use those annoying identity crystals." Ace murmured while smiling faintly and blurred to the direction of the city gate. 

Ace joined the long line outside the city and wait for his turn. He didn't encounter someone like Jason this time during his two hours of wait. 

Everyone was minding their own business, and people in the group were chatting happily with each other.

Ace also heard some talking about a thief, but it was very vague, and decided to investigate the matter further in the city.

After two hours, it was finally his turn. 

"State your name and birthplace." A robust guard coldly speaks. 

"Ryan White, from Moonlight City of Ale Province." Ace nonchalantly answered.

The Ale Province was the biggest province of Regal Kingdom and Moonlight City was the second biggest city in this province. He naturally gets all this information from the map and selected this place carefully.

The guard didn't speak first and looked at the sickly-looking guard with the antique black mirror in his hand. 

The antique black mirror was a treasure that can see through any disguise below Qi River Core Cultivation and detect lies! 

"He is telling the truth and his face is real." The sickly guard spoke with no emotion. 

But those guards still didn't let Ace pass until,

"He is clear." The aged voice gave his confirmation!

"One Low Qi Stone." The guard finally demanded the gate toll. 

Ryan smile faintly as he conjured a low Qi stone from his storage ring and give it to the guard. 

"Welcome to Regal Capital City!" The guard nonchalantly said as he opened the little golden gate and let Ace pass!
