Chapter 650 Cyrus Figured It Out!

Ace smiled at Eva, who was completely immense in his story like a little girl, while Cyrus also listened with a severe adorable expression.

"He was simply too strong, probably at the very peak of Law Awareness Realm. I had no choice but to enter the space tear and then 'God' again saved my life by sending me to this place where I found this Regal Fiend Tower and the rest you are quite familiar with.

"However, before that space tear vanished, that demon told me something…." Ace's expression turned icy when he remembered the Demon Ancestor's last words.

On the other hand, any doubts Eva had about Ace had long vanished, and what was left was tenderness, adoration, admiration, and regret of not being with him when he was experiencing those crazing things.

Eva couldn't help but noticed his gloomy expression and asked, "What did he tell you?"

Ace sighed ruefully and revealed, "It's about Alina. She got captured. Probably when she went looking for me back at the River Flower City…."

Eva knew about Alina, his missing sister, and he had already told her about her true background as a hunter before he sealed Eva away. At that time, he made it clear that he wanted to find her no matter what.

Eva was astonished when she heard about his mysterious sister and went back looking for him.

Truth be told, she didn't have a good impression of Alina and didn't want him to look for her because Alina might have abandoned him for good and no longer cared about him after returning to Blood Continent.

After all, he was just a random mortal at that time when she got taken away by her 'Grandfather,' and the way they both left, it was quite clear Ace was nothing but a speck of dust in their eyes, at least in the eye of that old hunter.

But Ace was hell-bent on meeting her at least one last time before making things clear and saying proper goodbye at that time.

However, now that Alina went looking for him on her own accord and her background was also quite noble, it was quite clear she cared about him despite not knowing about his transformation.

Now she was captured by one of the most influential figures of the Golden Sky World just because she went back to look for Ace.

This changed Eva's impression of Alina, and from his grave expression, she knew he wouldn't stop until he saved her, even if she obstructed his way.

With puckered lips, she said, "You know it's a huge trap, and there might not be just this Dream Shatter guy waiting for you. The demon will be there. It's in stone since you took away their most sacred object.

"And who knows what that Fake City Lord or his clone whatever had fed them about you. They still don't know whether you care about her or not, but once they know you care about her, they will not hesitate to do even more excessive things to her to draw you out!"

Ace's expression was dark since even he knew about this, "So, do you want me to give up on her and watch her die?" He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Eva.

He might act timed toward her and can bear with her antics and demands since he didn't want to make her unhappy or heartbroken. But he won't back down from this even if Eva threatens him with herself.

He had many methods to make her yield on this one. He just didn't want to use them since it would make her resentful toward Alina or even hate her.

Eva bit her lips when she saw just how serious his expression was, so she quickly gave up on the thought of stopping him by any means necessary. Although she was willful and too protective when it came to Ace, she also knew where his bottom line lay.

Since he was being honest with her by telling her everything when he could just chide her down by questioning her trust in him, she can't be that unreasonable, or she might lose this place in his heart and will never receive such treatment again.

And she feared nothing but losing his favor under heaven and earth. She would simply lose her reason to live if that ever happened.

So, she bit her lips and shook her head, "What kind of woman do you think I am? As your Wife and Best Friend, I will also support you as long as it makes you happy! Hmph!"

Ace's stern expression instantly crumbled when he saw Eva's unnatural expression, 'It must've taken her entire willpower to say those words while she clearly didn't want that. At least, it proves that she truly cared about my feelings.'

He felt warmth in his heart, looking at the pouting devil. He put the wine flask down and got close to her before he took her in his embrace.

Eva put a fake struggle first before she was nuzzling in with his chest.

"Don't worry. I will not put my life at risk since it will mean putting your life at risk as well. Just trust me." Ace gently said as he fondled her long silky hair.

"Mmm." Eva cooed as happiness bloomed in her heart, and she felt more reassured after he said those words and cuddled with him.

"Bro, Bro! I still don't understand one thing!" Cyrus, who truly knows how to ruin the moment, spoke frivolously.

Eva trembled slightly before she squirmed out of his embrace with a blushing face. She almost forgot that a little child was watching them, not to mention he was a naïve bird with a loose mouth.

No matter how bold she was, she was only bold in front of Ace.

Ace was also perplexed as he looked at Cyrus and fought the urge to shut the little thing for good. Still, he can't be unreasonable since it wasn't Cyrus's fault.

He stiffly said, "What do you don't understand?"

Cyrus completely overlooked Eva's embarrassed expression and Ace's exasperated gaze and asked with full of seriousness, "She is big sister Eva, right? Then where is Big Sister Winter?"

Eva's ears also perked when she heard this question, and like a hawk, her eyes turned sharp.

Ace annoyingly replied, "I already sent her on the mission to go into the Azure Wind Continent after she collected the information about Alina for me."

"She seemed quite capable. Then, where are the other two?" Eva curiously asked, but a dangerous light was hidden deep within her curious expression.

She knew how those three women came into Ace's Thief House. They were literally there because Ace couldn't handle them at that time, and his life was in danger, so he had to trick them all into Thief House.

In a sense, they were all profited after they entered the Thief House, and now they were munching off Ace, at least in her eyes, which didn't go well with her at all.

Ace smiled wryly as he wanted to avoid this exact question, but since he was being honest, he might as well get it over with since Eva was listening patiently.

"Thief House has its own special space for its members, and that Space is also under my control, so Noa and Freya are still within their respective spaces cultivating while Winter can't enter until she's come in contact with me."

Eva's eyes instantly when cold when she heard it, and she immediately berated, "And when are you going to mention such an important thing to me?"

"I just did." Ace coolly said without any change in expression.

"B-but you did after Cyrus's questioned!" Eva retorted, completely unconvinced.

"He just happened to ask when I was going to tell you." Ace's expression remains natural without any hint of panic.

How could she see through his lies when he didn't want her to?

Besides, he wasn't lying since he had already told her, and he was now completely at ease after he came clean with her.

Eva didn't find him suspicious anymore, so she finally relaxed when she thought she had overreacted.

But her eyes suddenly narrowed as she asked, "Then why aren't you letting me join the Thief House?"

She was quite interested in this thief house after she heard its perks, especially when she heard how she could upgrade her bloodline through it further. But the biggest reason she was eager to 'infiltrate' the Thief House was those three ladies!

Ace smiled bitterly as he said, "All the spots are filled."

He instantly felt the temperature drop when he said those words, and he quickly explained, "It's not permanent. Trust me, I need to do a mission to increase the entry spots, or I have already invited you in!"

Eva was looking at him with a scrutinized gaze filled with doubts, but he didn't seem to be lying.

However, before she could calm down, Cyrus, who was thinking something with a severe expression, finally spoke with wide eyes as he finally figured something out.

"Bro, then who is that Big Sister you sent into the black box a few days ago? Is that an enemy?!"
