BXBX NOVEL Chapter 280
The dark transparent panel appeared again in front of Shadow’s eyes, again giving her the shock of her life, but she didn’t try to kill Ace this time though.
Ace, on the other hand, was looking at Shadow with astonishment because he could see the panel in front of Shadow as well.
But it differed greatly from his since it was written in a language that Shadow could understand, not in ancient god language.
First, the Thief House Rules and Regulations interface appeared in front of Shadow, and she read it attentively, not missing a single word. When she read the Zero Rule [Any violation of Thief House Rules u0026 Regulation will cause absolute death!].
Shadow’s heart turned cold, and she finally understood she had jumped the gun too soon before in a state of consternation and anger and quickly saw the next rule which make her even more assured.
But when she saw the third rule, she couldn’t help but look at him with vexed eyes. “You are Ace White?”
Ace smiled broadly as he folded his hands behind his back and said, “One and only! I’m looking forward to working with you!”
“Hmph!” Shadow snorted coldly and continued to read other rules. ‘I cannot leave once I join, this is really a trap!’ she thought, reading rule four.
After reading all the rules, Shadow has some idea what this Thief House was. But she didn’t understand how could this kind of thing even exist in the first place and how did Ace gain it since he was likely the owner of this treasure.
Shadow saw a (Next) word right in the corner of this page, and when she thought settled on it, the rules interface changed again.
Ace was also waiting for this. He wanted to see first what Shadow can and then compare it with his own Thief House interface later.
Shadow’s eyes narrowed this time,

Shadow or Noa was completely gobsmacked when she read her real name on this new interface and many other things which enrage her, like her Grade-1 bloodline and low-level talent.
Even Ace was shocked after seeing Noa’s interface and thought, ‘Low talent and grade-1 bloodline, huh? So bloodlines also have grades. But what is that Thief Genre, and what does it have to do with me? And why is that shop empty?’
Ace was about to open his own thief house panel since he already saw Noa’s, which was completely different, and there were some things he didn’t understand.
However, Ace felt Noa’s icy glare and looked at her. He knew she was probably angry because of her talent and bloodline, just like anyone else would. But sometimes reality was just more painful.
“Did you write all this?!” Noa glared at Ace, but she didn’t dare to show any murderous intent anymore after what happened before, and she knew the rules.
They were absolute, and they protected Ace!
“How can I know your name and bloodline? Did we just meet a day ago? Didn’t I tell you this is an opportunity for you? All those things were written by a… umm…,” Ace suddenly thought of the status of that deity outside and quickly said, “God!”
Ace suddenly thought of making the system a God since it would be more convenient to tell this story and for others as well. Besides, the system wasn’t any less than a God in Ace’s eyes.
Just as he thought, Noa’s eyes widen in disbelief when she heard the word ‘God’ and swiftly felt everything make sense.
Ace continue when he felt Noa was believing him, “Yes, a real God, not some stone sculpture!
“Let me tell you, all the things written about you in that interface are absolutely true, and you can even increase your talent and bloodline. Only a deity can help you do this, not a mortal or treasure, right?”
Noa’s eyes widen even more when she thought it and all made sense even more because how could a mortal or treasure have all these abilities? Only a God can do this.
‘Doesn’t this mean I’m working for a God now, and I can even get reward directly from a God? This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!’
Noa’s eyes were now filled with zeal and elation. She finally let go of her resentment toward Ace and even felt grateful to him for giving her this chance.
“Great Priest, thank you for choosing me, and I apologize for my previous rudeness for not seeing the Great One. Can you please tell me the name of our Great God who is so magnanimous to even help us, mortal?!”
“P-priest?!” Ace nearly fell hearing Noa calling him a great priest and shook his hand, “No, no, no, I’m not a priest. Just call me Leader or Ace or whatever you like. Just don’t call me a priest. As for the name of our God, it’s…”
Ace thought of something and blurted, “It’s Eternal Thief… the Goddess of Thieves!”
He just made the system a real Goddess, but he didn’t know just how far he was from the actual truth.
“Goddess of Thieves?!” Noa mumbled in incredulity and asked, “Then we are thieves?”
“Don’t you see the ‘Blessing’ you just received and its name?” Ace sneered. He had gone through this once before and knew in her excitement she paid little attention to the word ‘Thief’.
“Thief House, Thief!” Noa finally fully concentrate and understood what Ace was talking about, but her little bit of reluctance vanished after she thought of all those things she could receive from this God of Thieves, it was far better than worshiping some statue!
“Then, can Leader tell me, why is this shop thing empty and why I only have 10 house points? How did I get more?” Noa finally inquired about the thief house interface.
“Woman, slow your horses, let me ask the Goddess.” Ace wasn’t afraid of Noa anymore, nor did he was afraid she would know about his system.
She’ll instantly die if she even thought about disclosing this information, so Ace was feeling much more secure around her. But Shadow still didn’t know about the wonder of the real system since she only thought Ace was the same as her and selected by a ‘Goddess’.
“You can talk to Goddess?!” Noa again felt her world turned upside down when Ace said so casually.
“Umm, you can too. Don’t you hear her voice already? You just have to complete tasks given by her, and you can hear her again in the further. Now give me a moment.” Ace again spout some bullshit.
Noa’s eyes instantly shimmer in understanding after hearing Ace’s words of ‘enlightenment’ and didn’t disturb him anymore, afraid of offending the ‘Goddess’.
“Open Thief House.”
The thief house interface appeared in front of Ace and looked at Noa and asked with a hint of concern in his voice, “What did you see here?”
“Nothing, just you. Why?” Noa was confused.
‘Oh, so this is only the privilege of House Leader. Good!’ Ace sighed in relief since it would’ve complicated things if Noa could see his interfaces.
“Nothing, give me a moment.” He looked at the new interface.

Ace was astonished by seeing all those new functions and baffled regarding the house point exchange and recycling shop interfaces. He thought it would be useful for him, but that’s not the case at all. They were all for house members.
There wasn’t even one benefit for him, but he wasn’t disheartened since he knew this was for training thieves, and he had the entire system, not just this one interface.
However, Ace still didn’t know just how many benefits he was going to receive from this one function in the future!
