BXBX NOVEL Chapter 474 Mission Treasure Pagoda (2)
Freya’s eye lit up after she heard this, but she still has her concerns, “But how do we know who had the storage ring with treasures and when they move it? They might not move it at all and, instead, take their chances to catch you.”
Ace smiled, “Well, if they played it this way, then we still have three weeks to infiltrate that place and take everything. As long as I have the master key, I can take my time to steal from them.
“Besides, how many people do you think will remain on the same track when a colossal amount of wealth is on the line and they know about my reputation?
“Because after I manage to steal the storage ring of Life Grandmaster, they won’t even trust each other, much less remain calm and take logical decisions. Moreover, they won’t spread this news to the masses, or this will plummet their reputation and the credibility of the keepers.”
Freya couldn’t help but admire Ace’s devious plan, “All in all, they had everything to lose while you have nothing and that’s their biggest weakness.”
Ace pretends to be shocked, “Oh, did I just hear the All-Knowing Parrot praise someone else?”
Perplexed, Freya’s eyes turned cold, “Hmph, don’t flatter yourself. But the question still remains, how are you going to lure that old ghost out of his safe haven?”
At this moment, Ace smiled mysteriously, “What if we steal his beloved disciple?”

The Life Demon Guild, inside a herbs garden,
Noa in her prodigal alchemist disguise, Lana, was tending to the herbs. It was her daily routine which she strictly followed.
As for how she reached this point, it was because of Ace’s plan to help her increase her alchemy skills and also infiltrate the Life Demon Association’s upper echelon.
But this wasn’t as easy as it was seen, because Noa first had to find an identity who didn’t possess any threat to their operation, and this identity had to be of no deep background ties.
She didn’t have the ability to absorb the memories of others like Ace so she had to be even more careful.
In the end, she found this demoness face in a remote demon village in the wildness and the real owner of this face was on her deathbed at that time so she also put her out of her misery.
Afterward, she just had to impress those alchemists with her talent in soul alchemy and she easily completed it by drawing the attention of none other than the life grandmaster of this branch.
Now, she had ample resources at her disposal and most importantly, knowledge and guidance!
Even she was shocked by her talent in soul alchemy because she was already a Low-Grade-2 Alchemist and very close to entering the intermediate grade!
But this fact wasn’t known by the others, not even the life grandmaster because it might put her in danger or some situation she didn’t want in. The others only know she was a prodigy who reached 9-Star Alchemist Rank after joining the association.
She didn’t have any deep ties with anyone nor did she feel any closeness to her teacher, she was only doing it for the mission, it was that simple.
‘After this mission, I can start the body refinement technique and might be able to break into the soul river core realm as well.’ She thought, ‘But I still don’t know when the theft would start. The leader didn’t contact me after that last assassination mission.
‘They all became extremely careful after that incident, and I think the Old Man (Life Grandmaster) has developed some suspicion since it all happened the day I went out.
‘But he’s only suspicious since I have already signed the loyalty contract with that fake conciseness provided to me by the goddess, or my cover would’ve blown up. However, the theft became more difficult.
‘Then there are the two new additions in the house, I don’t know in what circumstances Leader had recruited them. But I have to maintain my superiority as the first member or I’ll let Leader down.’
Noa grimaced when she thought about the two newcomers and felt slightly threatened by them.
Suddenly, a notification rang in her head,

Noa couldn’t help but read the mission again and incertitude shone in her eyes, ‘Why he didn’t want me to be careful? Did he want me to be seen by others when I enter the Life Wine Pavilion?’
She couldn’t help but mull over it for a while, but in the end, she reached the same conclusion that Ace wanted her to be seen by the others. Because he won’t put her in harm’s way and it must be related to the upcoming theft.
So, she decided to trust him and close the mission panel.
‘Last time, I was being followed by someone when I left. It was probably the old man’s lackey. So, I won’t need to worry about not being seen. But I still needed to inform him.’
Noa’s mood was lifted after receiving Ace’s mission and she quickly headed toward the Life Grandmaster’s Cultivation Chamber!
