BXBX NOVEL Chapter 359
Thomas keep his voice low and said, “Do you know why Miler didn’t dare to make a move against me? It was not just my status as a free tribe, but it was also because I’m a Demon Earl!”
Ace was astonished. He never thought this Thomas would have a noble demon title to his name, which was quite shocking for his age. This also made it even clearer that this guy was a genius, and his tribe must’ve had a very special status in mighty blade province.
‘Just what is he doing here, and it seemed I got his attention as well now since he was telling me all this, interesting.’ Ace smiled wily, which Thomas can’t see because of his mask.
Ace put on a shocking expression with a hint of admiration and said, “I didn’t think I was in the presence of his lordship. Please forgive me. I’ve been rude previously.”
Thomas shook his head with a smile and said with a hint of satisfaction, “Please brother Feng, we are friends, so don’t call me with this pleasantry, just call me Thomas.”
Feng merely nodded, but the respectful expression was still there as he asked, “Can I ask why brother Thomas thinks I can acquire a noble demon title and so quickly at that, you should know there’s not enough time for me to visit the royal demon council branch in ocean demon city and acquire a title even if I manage to pass their assessments.”
Ace was telling the truth, he clearly knew just how hard it was to acquire an individual noble demon title, although it wasn’t as cumbersome as a noble tribe title, it was still very difficult because of the long process of assessments and then approval on elder council.
Ace would love nothing to get a noble demon title for one of his faces because it would add another layer of protection to that face, and he would also get many benefits that come with the title itself.
But he knew only extraordinary demons have the right to strive for such titles. Demons like Feng can only just dream about it.
As for Thomas, Ace could easily guess it was because of his soul cultivation with his extraordinary demeanor. He could get himself a noble demon title. He even doubted Thomas’s reason for being here was simply just hitching a ride toward the King Domain.
Thomas merely chucked and said, “I think brother Feng had what it took to gain a noble demon title and since you’re able to sense my soul cultivation, I think you have something special that will greatly interest those old men in royal demon council, and they won’t miss a chance to promote such a talent.
“You have to understand that any demon with potential and special trials is always protected by the royal demon council. That’s why I think if brother Feng got their attention your journey toward the King Domain will become even smoother and those flies won’t even dare to look down on you anymore nor can they push you around as well not even a duke title tribe!”
Ace suddenly felt this guy had some means to get him a noble demon title, just by Thomas’s confident words he could sense there was a deeper meaning behind them.
‘If Feng identity really attached a noble demon title with his name, I can move freely in the libraries of royal demon council in any city with its branches and this will solve my problem of information, as well as my thieveries, will become more smoothly.’ Ace’s eyes suddenly glow when he thought about this point.
Feng asked with uncertainty, “My question remains the same, even if I qualify, how will I get a title this quick?”
This time Thomas didn’t answer instantly, as if he was considering something, and Ace also didn’t disturb him as well. He could feel Thomas had a way, but there was some kind of price which he would not pay just like for someone who he just met a few minutes ago.
‘Although getting his face will make it easier for me, I don’t know what kind of soul element he cultivates, and his family background is deep and him being here is for some kind of reason.
‘If I got his face, then I have to behave like him and even complete his tasks, which are in no way so simple, and I can’t have that distraction. Besides, if the clan behind him found out I killed their young master, then I’ll officially become an enemy with the wild tribes as well.
‘In the end, his face is too important and the probability of making mistake is too great, so I should just see what he wanted in return for helping me. It’s not like this guy didn’t have as many uses as it is.’ Ace smiled while he remained impassive.
He already decided how he’ll handle Thomas, and he was far more useful alive than becoming one of his disguises right now. Furthermore, he was more conformable with being Feng since there wasn’t any loophole where someone suspect him.
Finally, Thomas spoke with a meaningful smile, “How about we continue this conversation in my room tomorrow morning during breakfast?”
‘He’s still hesitating, huh?’ Ace found it quite understandable and nodded. “Of course, I also have some matter to attend to as well. I won’t take brother Thomas’s time anymore.”
Thomas nodded when he saw Feng was quite tactful as well and said with a smile, “Haha, I’m staying in room 618 on the sixth floor. See you at breakfast.”
Ace smiled and said, “It’ll be my pleasure.”
Ace bid Thomas farewell. He wasn’t in the mood to taste those dishes any more. Meeting with Thomas hasn’t changed Ace’s plan at all.
Ace exited the building and headed deep into the duke’s estate. As for his destination, it was the servant’s quarters!
