BXBX NOVEL Chapter 511 Who?!
_____
"Where are you guys? I\'m currently in disguise as a Life Master and walking straight from the arena entrance." Ace expressed in his mind!
"Oh, you managed to infiltrate that deep and even got a Life Master\'s face. It seemed we still have much to learn from you, huh, Grand Leader?" Freya\'s giggling voice rang in Ace\'s mind.
Ace chuckled smugly, "As long as you know."
"Tsk, here I thought you would be a little bit humble." Freya scoffed and didn\'t say anything meaningless again. "We can see you. Just head toward that big white tent where no one can see you."
Ace looked at the white tent as his lips curled upward. "I\'ll be there."
Ace suddenly used his stealth and vanished behind an enormous boulder and then quickly headed toward that white tent.
Thereupon, Ace soon appeared behind that camp without alerting anyone. However, no one was there, but he merely snickered as he looked at the tent shadow and said, "You\'re not powerful enough to hide from me right now."
Soon, three capped figures appeared from that exact spot like ghosts.
"Just what realm are you in?"
Winter sounded frustrated because she never felt Ace using any soul sense or martial sense, nor they can really tell what realm he was in because he always had a different aura whenever they saw him.
Ace merely chuckled as he approached them. "We\'ll talk about it after you go back. By the way, you guys did well."
He moved his hand toward them.
Without any question, they all took it, and the very next moment, they vanished from their spots into the thief\'s house space.
Ace finally had a massive sigh of relief after he retrieved the three, and just as he came here, he headed back.
Inside the thief\'s house, the main hall.
The three capped figures finally revealed their appearance and sat down around the table.
"I hate to admit it, but I like this place much more than the outside." Freya couldn\'t help but smile with a complex emotion in his bewitching eyes.
Noa merely nodded while only her elated pitch-black eyes were visible behind the mask.
Winter smirked, as she also agreed with them.
"This is after all your house, so feeling as such is quite natural." Ace\'s voice rang.
"Well, everything is wonderful except this guy who can spy on us at any time he wanted." Winter\'s little cut face was filled with vigilance.
Ace retorted, "Do you have anything worth spying on?" He won\'t let this fox sully his prestige.
"Scoundrel!" Winter gritted her teeth since she felt annoyed whenever Ace said these things.
Freya also giggled as she pointed toward her big chest. "What about me, and sister Noa? Do we have anything worth spying on?" Her eyes were filled with mischievousness.
A peculiar glint flashed fast in Noa\'s cold eyes when she heard this question.
"Noa knew I would never do something like that. As for you, hmm… truth be told, I\'ve seen quite a lot of you already, and I\'m already bored." Ace unabashedly replied.
Ace knew the more he showed deficiency, the more Freya would harass him, so he didn\'t mind giving her the taste of her own medicine.
When it comes to change in personality, acting skills, and lying without even blinking, he had already mastered this art, and so many memories he had annexed had helped him a lot.
Now no one can tell when he was honest and when he\'s not, and this kind of person is most dangerous.
Winter smirked when she saw Freya\'s playful expression darken when Ace called her unattractive and say he was already bored as if she was his plaything.
\'Hmph, that now you\'ll know just how shameless that guy is!\' She gloated.
Noa, on the hand, had an icy expression, as if she didn\'t hear anything.
"You really didn\'t know how to treat a lady, do you?" Freya coldly expressed.
"Yes, and what can you do about it, little Freya?" Ace was completely casual.
Freya threw a sharp glance at smirking Winter but kept her mouth shut, she finally understood Ace simply didn\'t care about his face nor did he give any face to a beauty like her. So, it would be wise to not use this method to tease him anymore.
"Now that we get past our little joyful reunion. Can I have my grave-5 formations back? Only two days remain before the end of the auction, and I\'m still stuck on the nineteenth floor." Ace\'s voice was stern.
"How confident are you?" Noa finally spoke with a hint of worry.
She knew the life demon auction was filled with deadly experts, and if Ace messed up, he would be signing his death warrant.
Freya also showed a complicated expression as she said, "You don\'t have to do this, you know. I don\'t need it anymore, and we can always get it back once we get strong. In my opinion, we should leave the demon continent now."
Winter also chimed in, "She\'s right. After what we have done in the Black River City, the royal zone will definitely launch a manhunt, and this time, they might use their full strength.
"I don\'t know if you know it or, but the top races are always in contact with each other and had many spies hidden in each continent.
"Once the other races learned about how some thieves are wreaking havoc between demons, they might even mock demons. Once those in the royal zone took it personally, we might not even find a place to hide.
"Especially if they asked for Devil Race, those guys are extremely proficient in locating people, even in other continents. That\'s why we should not test the Demon Race bottom line and leave while we can."
Ace could relate to why they were suggesting leaving the demon continent, and if he didn\'t have this chain mission, he might really leave.
Although abandoning this mission will not result in any punishment, and he still had fifteen years, he decided to take the risk for two crucial reasons.
First, the enticing reward which he\'ll get on every condition completion, and second, the golden black compass point was pointing toward the direction of the royal zone.
It made him want to enter the royal zone even more.
"I know what I\'m doing, and I\'m pretty sure if I try to cross eight borders right now, I\'ll be in even more danger. Besides, I won\'t act unless it\'s safe, and you guys won\'t even know what my plan is for this auction." Ace chuckled.
Everyone frowned because they only knew little details about what Ace was planning on doing in this auction, but he won\'t tell them what exactly he was planning.
"You guys should be exhausted, and I know you earn big time on this mission, so focus on growing strong. Leave this matter to me." Assured Ace.
Then, he took away the two grade five formations he lent them and excused them as they left toward their personal rooms, still wondering what Ace was going to do.
Just like Ace left, he returned to Ville\'s room without any hitch.
\'Now that I got the ghost lurking formation, I can move around freely in this entire arena since only a grade-6 formation will be able to detect this formation.\' Ace smiled contently.
\'Knock… knock…\'
Ace was startled by this abrupt knocking and frowned because he suddenly noticed his soul sense didn\'t pick up anyone.
\'A Demon King?\'
Ace\'s heart palpitated when he thought this because only a demon king can escape his soul sense detection. He quickly used the fate mapping to see the fate map just to make sure.
However, he was startled when he saw it was a Light Silver Fate Point with a white color circle, which mean this person was a neutral party. But more importantly, there wasn\'t any black circle, which also implies this person didn\'t pose an absolute danger to Ace as well.
\'Someone who could escape my soul sense without being a soul manifestation realm and a black fate point? The light silver color also implied there\'s something useful on this person for me?\'
Confused, Ace decided to see who this person was first. "It\'s open."
The door slowly opened, but Ace\'s curious expression suddenly collapsed when he saw the white color around this person suddenly turn crimson!
\'Why?\' Ace knew this means this was an enemy, but this change was too abrupt and happened so fast as if this person didn\'t consider Ville his enemy until he opened the door and then showed his true color.
However, Ace didn\'t even have time to think when the entire room suddenly turned dark as a strange pressure descent that wanted to infiltrate Ace\'s body. Not only that, but he can\'t feel his surroundings anymore!
"Who?!"
Ace was alarmed because he could tell this was a work of an extremely powerful formation, and he was now trapped!
