?Just as Wild Hungry Pavilion was in turmoil, a man and a woman appeared among the crowd, and they began to walk away.

“Hahaha, this skill is really great. Those buffoons didn’t even sense me taking their storage treasures.” Eva laughed as she was extremely pleased with herself.

Ace smiled thievishly, “They were busy gloating over the Wild Hungry Pavilion misfortune, so how could they have reacted? Besides, your cultivation is way above them, so they can’t notice you even if you make some mistake. Still, I have to admit, that imperial prince was really an arrogant idiot.”

They had arrived in the pavilion when the Pavilion Master and the Imperial Prince were still talking, but no one noticed them. They calmly hid there and waited for an opportunity to strike.

But Ace had never expected that they weren’t on guard against anything like nothing could happen to them. That’s why they all meet misfortune at Eva’s hand who was trying Ace’s thievish skills for the first time.

“Hehe, tell me, what is this Thief Charity Reverse’s about? I can understand the principle behind it, but why would we give away something?” Eva curiously questioned.

“I invented it to leave behind my name back then in the lower lands to grab some fame. But later, my thief symbol awakened, and I never got the chance to use it again. However, the house members didn’t have such ability yet, so they’ve been using it to leave behind their unique marks to get famous.

“Although I never told them to, I can understand how satisfying it is to leave behind your name and make your victim fume helplessly. You can try doing the same or this skill can be use in other ways as well, it’s completely up to you, I never intended to limit your imagination.

“In all my years of thieving, I’ve learned there is always a new way to theft there is no limit to it. If you put a limit on yourself, you’ll get caught sooner or later since our enemies are not idiots, and the same trick might not work twice.” Ace stated profoundly, like an old veteran.

Eva was amazed by Ace’s wisdom in thievery. She couldn’t imagine this was the same na?ve boy back then, and she felt very proud.

“Don’t worry. I also have a few tricks up my sleeve. I won’t slow you down.” She promised.

“Silly girl, you can never slow me down. Just do as you please; there are not many things in this heaven I’m afraid of anymore. The Sky Heart Plains is a playground for you guys to practice your arts, once we ascend we’ll face unknown so get as much experience as you can.” Ace smiled gently as he felt gratified for having Eva and others at this moment.

He wasn’t alone anymore, and his heart was at peace. He felt his mind was going through a strange change after he learned about his parents, but he didn’t know if it was bad or good.

Nonetheless, he was comprehending new things about his own path, and he felt he was on the verge of some mental breakthrough. 𝑖𝘦.𝘤𝑜𝘮.

Eva lovingly looked at Ace as she also felt bliss at this moment, “Since that’s the case, how about I go to the empire alone and make a name for myself as well? I know you have your own plans, and I don’t want you to change them for me. I also need some experience. I’ll pave the way for you in the empire.”

Ace couldn’t help but look at Eva as she almost saw through him. He was really going to change his plan and discard Abner’s identity, which was very helpful to him. But if he wanted to bring Eva along, then he couldn’t use that identity.

Furthermore, Eva also had a point, she needed experience and following him might limit her growth, his house members were the same. He had long since experienced how foolish it was to keep them with him in the thief’s house since they could help him if he fell into some predicament.

That’s why he gives them free rein to roam the world and do as they please as long as they won’t affect him or their fellow house members, and the result is very good.

Eva was the same in this regard, as they were extremely powerful, but she still didn’t have experience with her own abilities and didn’t know their limitation. If she remained with him, she would never feel pressure, and she also understands this.

Only after Ace said those words did she think like this, so she didn’t want to be selfish to slow him down. Before, she thought she could protect him, but now, she knew Ace didn’t need anyone’s protection. Now, she wanted to carry some of his burden, so she needed to be as strong and astute as him. Power means nothing if she doesn’t know how to use it properly.

“Alright, since you are determined, I won’t stop you. But you have to promise to alert me if you fall into any danger and bring Cyrus along. You two will be able to dominate even if those old monsters from the imperial palace take action.” Ace nodded in agreement as she didn’t try to stop her since it would be selfish.

Eva smiled sweetly, “Don’t worry, I’m going to make a name for myself as well. Just wait for my news, and I’ll beat you on your own game.”

She was very competitive and proud because of her bloodline, and Ace somehow provoked her nature, so she wanted to prove herself. Mostly because she didn’t want to be left behind by the others, or how could she establish her dominance over other women by Ace’s side?

Ace chortled, “Good luck with that.”

He then ordered Cyrus to go with Eva and protect her. Although the little guy was clearly unwilling, he didn’t dare to say anything to Eva, and she also promised to give him food, which instantly made him happy and willing.

After a passionate kiss, she left with Cyrus unwillingly.

Ace sighed seeing her leave, although he didn’t show it, he was very reluctant and worry about her.

‘I should get to work as well. I wanted to steal that prince’s memories, but he had a strange rune protecting them. If I was forceful, he might’ve died. What a vicious method to keep secrets. The imperial family is not simple.’

Ace’s eyes went sharp as he headed back to the inn and became Abner again and directly contacted the Imperial Crown Prince!
