With everyone looking at her, Zaria felt pressure as she contemplated her next move and was troubled by her decision.
Although she didn't want to go against a power like the Evernight Council with not one but three Ascension Kings or possibly more at the helm, after listening to Eva's explanation and other mbers' reasons, she also hesitated.
After all, she could tell every mber sitting in this place was like Ace. They had infiltrated so of the most powerful sects in the Mortal Ascension Heaven. She wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't witnessed it personally and experienced Ace's thods firsthand.
Moreover, they all seed to believe that abandoning their posts in the Mortal Ascension Heaven and going to the Abyss would make them even more powerful, and she couldn't help but think about the mysterious 'status' and 'shop' in her Thief Shop.
Although Ace had told her not to reset her foundation just yet, after seeing the senior mbers and feeling their mysterious auras and quirks, she was now really itching to cultivate her thief shop's technique. But because of her current cultivation realm, she always hesitated. She knew how long it would take to regain her current cultivation, not to ntion going through two more Heavenly Law Tribulations. She didn't even believe it was possible before joining the Thief House!
Furthermore, she also had to consider Leah since if she went to the Abyss, Leah would follow her. However, she rembered Ace's words about making Leah her Thief Acolyte, which could help her grow trendously and allow her to enjoy the sa benefits of the Thief House.
Yet, to do that, she needed to rank up, and from the looks of it, she could do it faster if she went to the abyss like the other mbers.
Last but not least, there was the matter of 'comradeship,' and given what she had just witnessed, she knew every mber of the Thief House was ambiguous and had their own specific goals. However, like Eva and Alina, they were still united and made sound decisions regardless of their differences.
She knew if she voted against everyone else, all the mbers would hold it against her, and for so reason, she had a feeling that Ace didn't select the Abyss route as well, but because of what happened earlier, he couldn't show any favors or persuade others. He needed to do what was best for the entire Thief House as a whole.
Still, she was certain that Ace cared about the House mbers and didn't want them to see divided and form grudges against each other. She respected that and unknowingly wanted to be a genuine part of this group.
She pulled an annoying smile before she spoke in her thug-like tone, "What the hell, I'll go with the flow! After all, I'm the strongest person here right now, and if I back down, won't you guys think I'm a coward? Besides, it's been a long ti since this Big Boss has left this wrenched place, and going to a whole new world didn't sound bad for a vacation!" Everyone looked at Zaria with a strange look in their eyes as if seeing her for the first ti, and Ace couldn't help but pull a helpless smile, and he had already resigned to his fate.
'Well, at least they are united and could still reach a unanimous decision despite their aningless skirmishes all the ti. But they sure did choose a hell of a ti to beco united…and if I force my decision on them now, I'm sure even if they accept it now, once this 'serious' eting is over, those two Devil and Angel won't spare …' "Alright, you guys have shown that no matter what, we are thieves, and thieves always take the most precious things even if the danger is evident. We can't control our greed and desire to have the most precious treasures for ourselves.
"It seed I have been too careful lately and lost my touch. I've forgotten the Thrill of Theft, the mont when you claim the treasure, the emotions of using Pick-Pocket or opening treasures under pressure."
Ace's eyes flickered with a peculiar glint, "Perhaps going to the Abyss is a good thing for and for all of us to 'bond' together and make the Thief House more united and powerful.
"Most of all, I'm also glad to see you all put aside your differences to help each other when it counts. So, no matter the result of our first trip to the abyss, I hope we all can remain the sa and enjoy the thrill of theft!"
Ace could feel everyone's intent at this mont. They were all…ecstatic, and a sudden realization startled him.
'Was it another Heart Evil again?' Ace couldn't help but feel it was an eerily similar thing when he was constantly overthinking and doubting himself when he saw the Fate Path of Death.
'It seems I need to cultivate my mind further; I've been constantly experiencing these doubts. Or could it be there is sothing else I'm overlooking?' Ace pondered as he suddenly beca vigilant.
But there was nothing out of the ordinary, and he knew that if sothing were out of the ordinary, the system would be the first to warn him unless sothing that could elude the system's detection was at play or, worse, the system didn't even consider it a threat. Nonetheless, Ace has no proof or anything he could think of and still thinks it was just him being extrely paranoid lately.
'As long as I can keep my intent pure and heart unshakable, I'll be fine!' His eyes flickered with profound glimr as he sensed his cultivation heart progressing again. Ace smiled thievishly as he announced, "Since everyone wants to wreak havoc in the Abyss of Wandering Souls, let's wreak havoc and make an unforgettable debut! Let's choose the Abyss Mission Route!"
The mont Ace announced, the system asked for his confirmation, and without hesitation, Ace 'confird it' without hesitation, and thereafter, the interface in front of him and everyone else instantly changed!
