Chapter 106: A Weighty Request
Just as Adrian was about to take the storage ring out of the skeleton’s hands, the Hundred-faced thief suddenly spoke again. This time in a more serious tone.
"While you are certainly worthy of my legacy, know that it won’t be all fun and games." The Hundred-faced thief said.
Adrian’s hand paused in the air as he asked in a confused tone. "What do you mean, senior?"
"Since you don’t know about me, let me tell you a bit about my story. Back in my day, I was a very feared individual. It wasn’t because of my power, though I was very powerful." The Hundred-faced thief said, praising himself a bit.
Adrian didn’t interrupt him and continued listening to his story.
"I was feared because I was a thief. A very good one at that. Families, clans, sects, none of them could stop me. I told you previously, but I was even able to escape from the Lone Sword Sect.
Do you know how hard it was to escape from those sword-wielding maniacs?"
He said in a smug tone.
"Anyways, I always escaped, and they never found me."
"Then how did you die?" Adrian asked in confusion. From the story, the man, or rather the skeleton in front of him, seemed very skilled and powerful. Such a person wouldn’t easily fall.
The mood in the room shifted as soon as Adrian asked the question. The atmosphere became noticeably colder, making Adrian feel a chill down his spine. Thankfully, the atmosphere didn’t change much after that, as the Hundred-faced thief began recounting his story.
