BXBX NOVEL Chapter 784 The Past Revealed
Glen\'s words suddenly came to an abrupt halt, and a suffocated grunt replaced them because his throat was being held by a powerful grip, and he was dangling his legs in the air as he was choking.
Even Freya and Noa were shocked about this sudden development because the person holding Glen by his throat was none other than Ace, and at this moment, a ghastly, dark aura was rising from his hooded figure, which made the air suffocating chilly.
Ace\'s voice rang, but this time, it was riddled with killing intent, "Who is this, Jonathan? What did you know about White Crown?"
"You\'ll kill him at this rate; how can he answer you?" Freya quickly spoke as she saw Glen was getting paler and paler, and Ace was on the verge of breaking his neck, and she couldn\'t just order him to retaliate as well. That\'s why that guy was as helpless a bug despite his superior cultivation.
But the most terrifying thing was Ace was able to make him choke despite Glen\'s powerful body, and this just how powerful Ace\'s own physique was.
Suddenly, Ace\'s head moved toward Freya, and she suddenly shuddered, even Noa, because under his hood, a pair of dark blue eyes were glowing in a dark, murderous sheen, and they didn\'t seem to belong to a human at this moment.
"Don\'t stick your nose into this!" His voice was deadly calm and cold, but it contained absolute authority.
Freya felt a strange, terrible fear rise deep in her heart and quickly lower her head. She didn\'t even have the guts to speak anymore. She never experienced anything like this before. It was like she was talking to an absolute existence and wasn\'t capable of disobeying him!
Ace then turned his back and didn\'t pay Freya much attention as if he knew she wouldn\'t dare to speak again. Still, his grip suddenly loses, and Glen falls to the ground with a fit of coughs. But he was able to recover with his superior Qi quickly, yet he looked at Ace with fear and terror since he never expected to be manhandled by a mere Qi river realm junior!
"Now answer my questions…please?" Ace\'s chilly voice rang again.
Glen took a deep breath and replied that he didn\'t want to get choked again or killed.
"High Elder Jonathan is one of the five High Grade-6 Rune Crafter of the Soul Flame Sect, a bit eccentric but one of the top figures of the Soul Flame Sect. He was actually the one who put us all on the Sky Stealer\'s tale.
"According to him, a few years ago, he came in contact with the elusive thief two times. The first time, when he was just a kid and a rising star of the low-level lands, almost killed him on the second time in the middle-level lands.
"But both times, it was not actually High Elder Jonathan but his clones which he sneakily sunk in there through the ancient passage.
"In his words, the Sky Stealer\'s name is Ace White, and he\'s the son of some traitors of the White Crown who he once accidentally met and then entrusted with their child safely but wasn\'t able to find him because of an emotional flaw and lack of intelligence in his clone.
"When he met him the first time, that thief backstabbed him for his treasures, but he was able to confirm that the thief was indeed the same son the traitors of the White Crown wanted him to protect.
"As for the second time, he was able to corner the thief into revealing his most guarded secret, which might also be the real reason why those two become the traitors of the White Crown and why they were after them in the first place.
"Jonathan said the thief had confessed himself that he had a heaven-defying technique and treasure left to him by his parents, and that\'s why he was so extraordinary. The name of that technique is Heavenly Blankness Worldending Technique Slate.
"This treasure…. this also seemed to be the real reason he had been able to escape that day and somehow ended up in the Demon Continent!"
Realization dawned upon Ace at this moment, and the face of \'Gordon\' appeared in his mind; who was really the reason that he had teleported to the middle of Demon Continent from the middle-level lands of the Azure Wind Continent.
The hate he contained for that guy now has suddenly reached unimaginable heights.
But different from Ace, both Noa and Freya were gobsmacked by Glen\'s terrifying revelation. Ace\'s background has always been a mystery to them, and he was not too keen to reveal it to them since it was not that grand.
But now, they were finally able to know just humble his background had been and how he was able to appear in the Demon Continent, and why he just reacted that way when he heard the White Crown name.
\'So, his parents belonged to this White Crown, and they were also traitors, no less. Could it be the thief house was really left behind them to him?\' Freya\'s mind raced as she felt she had just stumbled upon a terrifying secret that was probably very close to solving the mystery of Ace\'s prowess and connection with the \'Goddess of Thief.\'
As for Noa, she finally understands how Ace was able to come so deep into the demon continent and right in the middle of their demon city. It was also that fated day that she met him, and it changed her entire life course.
But for Ace, he didn\'t care about any of it. What he actually wanted to know about the White Crown, which was probably the biggest mystery of his life and that sealed bloodline within him.
As for why he reacted so strongly, it was not because he cared about their wellbeing. Instead, he wanted to question them himself that why he had been abandoned in that miserable place and why his own bloodline was sealed!
