Chapter 971 Parting Ways

Just as Wild Hungry Pavilion was in turmoil, a man and a woman appeared among the crowd, and they began to walk away.

"Hahaha, this skill is really great. Those buffoons didn't even sense me taking their storage treasures." Eva laughed as she was extremely pleased with herself.

Ace smiled thievishly, "They were busy gloating over the Wild Hungry Pavilion misfortune, so how could they have reacted? Besides, your cultivation is way above them, so they can't notice you even if you make some mistake. Still, I have to admit, that imperial prince was really an arrogant idiot."

They had arrived in the pavilion when the Pavilion Master and the Imperial Prince were still talking, but no one noticed them. They calmly hid there and waited for an opportunity to strike.

But Ace had never expected that they weren't on guard against anything like nothing could happen to them. That's why they all meet misfortune at Eva's hand who was trying Ace's thievish skills for the first time.

"Hehe, tell me, what is this Thief Charity Reverse's about? I can understand the principle behind it, but why would we give away something?" Eva curiously questioned.

"I invented it to leave behind my name back then in the lower lands to grab some fame. But later, my thief symbol awakened, and I never got the chance to use it again. However, the house members didn't have such ability yet, so they've been using it to leave behind their unique marks to get famous.

"Although I never told them to, I can understand how satisfying it is to leave behind your name and make your victim fume helplessly. You can try doing the same or this skill can be use in other ways as well, it's completely up to you, I never intended to limit your imagination.

"In all my years of thieving, I've learned there is always a new way to theft there is no limit to it. If you put a limit on yourself, you'll get caught sooner or later since our enemies are not idiots, and the same trick might not work twice." Ace stated profoundly, like an old veteran.

Only after Ace said those words did she think like this, so she didn't want to be selfish to slow him down. Before, she thought she could protect him, but now, she knew Ace didn't need anyone's protection. Now, she wanted to carry some of his burden, so she needed to be as strong and astute as him. Power means nothing if she doesn't know how to use it properly.

"Alright, since you are determined, I won't stop you. But you have to promise to alert me if you fall into any danger and bring Cyrus along. You two will be able to dominate even if those old monsters from the imperial palace take action." Ace nodded in agreement as she didn't try to stop her since it would be selfish.

Eva smiled sweetly, "Don't worry, I'm going to make a name for myself as well. Just wait for my news, and I'll beat you on your own game."

She was very competitive and proud because of her bloodline, and Ace somehow provoked her nature, so she wanted to prove herself. Mostly because she didn't want to be left behind by the others, or how could she establish her dominance over other women by Ace's side?

Ace chortled, "Good luck with that."

He then ordered Cyrus to go with Eva and protect her. Although the little guy was clearly unwilling, he didn't dare to say anything to Eva, and she also promised to give him food, which instantly made him happy and willing.

After a passionate kiss, she left with Cyrus unwillingly.

Ace sighed seeing her leave, although he didn't show it, he was very reluctant and worry about her.

'I should get to work as well. I wanted to steal that prince's memories, but he had a strange rune protecting them. If I was forceful, he might've died. What a vicious method to keep secrets. The imperial family is not simple.'

Ace's eyes went sharp as he headed back to the inn and became Abner again and directly contacted the Imperial Crown Prince!
