Chapter 894 The Faceless Thief On Board
"This island is the furthest away from the demon continent, and a mirage mist surrounds it all year long, which also works as a natural defense. So, anyone who comes in this direction will never be able to find the demon continent. "So, don\'t play dumb since you were the one who was giving instructions all this time, which means you knew this secret route." Ace couldn\'t help but frown, \'So the fate map led to this place? Is it a coincidence that they come here instead of avoiding this place, or if they are going in the demon continent, they could go in another direction because there should be a vortex between the three forbidden countries?\' Ace found it very strange as he started to think this situation quite fishy, and if not for Winter, he might not know at all. "Trust me, I don\'t know, and I\'m only following the direction that the goddess provided me. I\'m actually chasing after a mission that led me to this place." Ace decided to come clean with Winter, "Since you were able to identify this area, you should\'ve known that the three forbidden countries are hiding some secret, right? I think those guys are going to lead us to this secret, or they are simply up to something." Winter was astounded as it was her first time hearing this, and realization dawned on her, "You should\'ve told me sooner!" She glared at him unhappily, "Since the goddess herself is leading you here, this means this mission is huge, right?" Looking at her expectant look, Ace knew what she was thinking and chuckled, "Heh, since the demon continent is close, don\'t you want to leave? Freya is also here, and she can help you a lot since you both are quite close." Winter sneered, "No, I\'ve changed my mind. I want a part in this mission. I can earn more this way." "Alright, if that\'s what you want. But I\'m still not sure if those guys are really after the three forbidden countries or if this route is just in the way. For all I know, we might need to go even further. Furthermore, let me warn you, these people might be the strongest people of the Golden Sky World. Do you still want a part in it?" Ace sternly questioned. Winter\'s eyes shimmered with uncertainty, "Just what are you after?" Ace mysteriously answered, "I need to acquire two keys from two of these people. So, do you want to follow me? It would be a lie to say I don\'t want you onboard in this. But I won\'t force you since this is too dangerous." Winter suddenly smiled charmingly with a hint of scorn, "Hmph, don\'t pretend like a saint since you\'re not one. Alright, give me a mission with proper rewards, and I\'ll be your assistant. This sounds more interesting than simple thieveries anyway." Ace gave her a hard look, "I might not be a saint, but I still have my code of conduct, you know. So, it\'s decided then, let\'s steal from some of the most powerful people in this world!" Winter smiled with a hint of excitement, "Now you sound like our true leader!"
