Chapter 1360: Chapter 1359: Stealing the Monarch

Thunderbolt Beads is an extremely intelligent man, capable of asserting his place among the strongest as a mere commoner. He not only possesses strength but also intellect and the method in which he conducts himself and his affairs.

He did not ask Yusuf Zuck how he obtained these Divine Peaches. Instead, he quickly thought about how to acquire these Divine Peaches and then sell them at a high price.

As is commonly known, scarcity enhances value. There’s a world of difference between there being only one Divine Peach worldwide and there being a hundred thousand. In fact, if there were ten thousand Divine Peaches worldwide, they would be so common that prices would plummet, let alone one hundred thousand.

Thus, after pondering for quite some time, he finally said indifferently, "One hundred thousand is too many. One reason is that I can’t afford them. Another is that if there are too many Divine Peaches, they lose their value. So, you just bring out one hundred of them!"

"Sure!" Yusuf Zuck immediately nodded, understanding the principle that rarity confers value.

"I haven’t finished speaking, listen to me," Thunderbolt Beads said with a smile: "I won’t be buying these one hundred peaches either. Instead, you leave them with me, and I’ll auction them for you three days from now!"

"Oh?" Yusuf Zuck raised his eyebrows.

"You know my Heavenly Heart Residence also handles auction matters. By staging ours just before the Appraisal Pavilion’s, we can surely fetch a large sum. You can keep all the Spirit Stones obtained from the auction. I just ask for a few extra Divine Peaches from you!"

"As many as you want, I’ll give them all!" Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily.

"Then it is agreed," Thunderbolt Beads said with narrowed eyes: "As soon as I release this news, it will create an immediate worldwide sensation. Since only the Goodman Family has Divine Peaches, there will surely be a supply shortage during the auction. Those Divine Peaches will fetch a much higher price, potentially far exceeding eighty billion apiece!"

"By the way, why do you need so much money?" Thunderbolt Beads suddenly asked.

"Five Heavenly Patching Stones at the Appraisal Pavilion—I must have them!" Yusuf Zuck asserted firmly.

"That’s impossible, not just for you but even for an old man like me to claim they must have them because you won’t win them at the auction!" Thunderbolt Beads said, looking at him.

Yusuf Zuck’s eyes sparkled as he replied: "Then, we’ll either take them by force or employ other methods."

"Take by force? You would go?" Thunderbolt Beads said incredulously.

"Of course, it would be even better if I could have my brother lend a hand!" Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily.

"Stop stop stop, I dare not join you in taking them by force. I don’t have that kind of skill and I still want to live!" Thunderbolt Beads waved his hands frantically. Who dares to forcibly seize treasures within The Eight Great Families?

"Hehe, even if we cannot seize them, we must think of some other way. I’m not familiar with the Appraisal Pavilion, so I’m hoping you can guide me," Yusuf Zuck was being truly candid with Thunderbolt Beads, without any concealment.

"Are you truly set on getting those five stones? Do you really want them?" Thunderbolt Beads asked gravely.

"I must have them!" Yusuf Zuck nodded firmly.

"Then, since both auction and open seizing are out of the question, you’ll have to think of another way!"

"What way?" Yusuf Zuck asked cheerfully.

Thunderbolt Beads narrowed his eyes and after a moment of reflection, he sighed again: "It’s too dangerous, still not possible!"

"In this world, nothing is impossible, it all depends on whether you take action or not!" Yusuf Zuck said earnestly.

"If we can’t rob it or bid for it, then we can only steal it!" Thunderbolt Beads said, "According to what I know, all the auction items in the Appraisal Pavilion are in the eighteenth floor basement of the pavilion. The storage is protected by the Innate Array Method, with nine layers of formations. The vault is constructed with Black Star Meteor material, somewhat akin to a small impenetrable fortress, and guarded by at least eight individuals, all of whom are at least at the Intermediate God Sovereign level, with additional support from a Superior Divine Master available at any time."

"Not stored in someone’s ring? All in the vault?" Yusuf Zuck’s eyes lit up.

"Certainly." Thunderbolt Beads nodded, "The auction items this time are provided by The Eight Great Families, it is a joint external auction by The Eight Great Families, and Appraisal Pavilion just represents the front for these families, they are the actual hosts."

"So after they provide the items, they store them all together, and then send one person from each of the eight families to guard it simultaneously, no one can enter the vault alone, they must enter together."

"I’ve heard that Incognito Ruler has already set his sights on the eighteenth floor vault of Appraisal Pavilion!" Thunderbolt Beads suddenly said.

"Incognito Ruler?" Yusuf Zuck was momentarily stunned, then quickly searched Gael Berger’s memories and found the term related to Incognito Ruler.

Incognito Ruler, the greatest thief in the Heavenly Realm, it is rumored that this person possesses the Divine Skills of Seventy-Two Transformations, capable of going anywhere in the world, and there’s nothing he wishes to steal that he can’t steal.

This individual is also ranked very high on the Heavenly Realm’s most-wanted list, appearing as a demon, but in truth, he is not a demon. Over these innumerable years, he has successfully robbed shops or money vaults belonging to The Eight Great Families, leading them to furious outrage. As of now, The Eight Great Families still have not disbanded their joint pursuit squad, continuously teaming up to track down Incognito Ruler.

However, what Incognito Ruler looks like, what his Cultivation Level is, whether he is male or female, working solo or in a group, no one knows for sure - hence he is extremely difficult to find!

"Do you think he will succeed?" Yusuf Zuck pondered.

"No," Thunderbolt Beads shook his head, "This Appraisal Conference isn’t simple; it’s said to have multiple layers of purpose, intending to attract some influential people, and several of the auction items are coveted by these influential figures. Hence, The Eight Great Families want to lure them here and then eliminate them in one fell swoop!"

"Then do you know Incognito Ruler personally?"

"Hehe, I’ve met him!" Thunderbolt Beads laughed and said, "A very interesting... person. How about I introduce you to him?"

"What?" Yusuf Zuck was shocked, this old man actually knows Incognito Ruler? And can even arrange an introduction?

"Of course, I can only pass on a message; whether she will meet with you, whether she will cooperate with you after meeting you, whether she will trust you or not, that’s not something I can decide. He likes to work alone, so even with my introduction, it’s not certain he would trust you!"

"Then I must trouble you, brother. I really do want to meet this person!" Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath.

"Hmm." Thunderbolt Beads smiled and nodded, looking towards the direction of the kitchen, where, at that moment, a beautiful cook began serving the dishes.

Although their conversation earlier was quiet, Yusuf Zuck was sure the little cook and her husband could hear if they intended to eavesdrop, but Thunderbolt Beads seemed to trust the couple fully, so he asked no more.

After serving ten dishes, the couple did not extend an invitation, but sat down on either side of Thunderbolt Beads, and the little cook personally poured a glass of wine for him and said, "Why do you think it will not be successful?"

"Uh..." Yusuf Zuck was stunned. What did the little cook mean by ’not be successful’?

"No, not that, Thunderbolt Beads previously said that he believed Incognito Ruler would not be successful; the little cook was asking about this!" Yusuf Zuck shivered violently, then incredulously looked towards the smiling man and the mischievously grinning little cook!

"Incognito Ruler, is one of them, or perhaps they together are Incognito Ruler!" Yusuf Zuck was astounded!
