Looking at the thief symbol, Margret expression warped, and the look in her eyes turned appalled as she knew what that thief farewell note ant too well!
"Sk-Sky Stealer!?! But how!" She shrilled in horas voice. Ace's coldly scoffed, "Heh, you asked sothing everyone wants to know 'HOW' indeed. And just like everyone else, you are not qualified to know. Now, let's cut the bullshit. Since you want to live, answer so of my questions, and you'll be just fine. But if you don't, I'll leave it to your imagination." Margret was greatly shaken as she felt it was all just a nightmare, but sadly, it wasn't because her cultivation had been entirely suppressed. The bird over her head was releasing a strange aura, robbing her of the ability even to flinch. Then she suddenly looked at flabbergasted Lillian and quickly blurted, "You there! Now I rember, you are Alina's maid, right? Where is she, and what is this place?" Lillian was startled and didn't know how to reply. She never imagined that the strongest existence of her race would turn into a prisoner, and she looked pretty pathetic. "Really? Do you think this will work?" Ace couldn't help but disdainfully sneered, "If you ignore one more ti, I'll consider it you're choosing the latter option." Margret eyes released killing intent as she knew this wasn't going to work, so she changed her strategy, "Kill if you dare! Hahahaha… so what if you capture ? You're still just a lusty kid who doesn't know how high the sky is! Since you're still keeping alive, I gathered Alina is alive. But let tell you this: if you kill , Alina will also die!" Ace was startled by Margret's sudden declaration, and he could feel she wasn't lying in the face. She was filled with confidence. Still, he didn't show any sign of being intimidated and coldly said, "Alright, since you're so confident, I'll find out soon enough myself. In the anwhile, you'll be my little companion's maid, his plaything."
At this mont, Ace transmitted his voice to Cyrus and commanded, "Cyrus, she's yours, and I want you to make her obedient and punish her if she tries anything funny. But don't kill her. She is an asset, but she is an enemy nonetheless. She's not allowed to touch anything or go anywhere near our stuff. Likewise, she'll live in the black box. "But if she breaks these rules, then as her master, you'll be held responsible, and I'll let your big sister punish you and force you back to study. However, if you do well, then you don't need to study until I deal with her!"
Cyrus's eyes shone with excitent, "Really? You promise?" "Yeah, I promise. I'll explain it to your big sister so she won't bother you. Furthermore, Lillian is not allowed to approach her more than 10 ters. Make sure of that. This is your first mission, so be responsible and prove that you're not a child anymore." Ace sternly stated. Although the Blood Ancestor was a cunning old witch, he still let Cyrus handle her because he wanted the little guy to experience what it ant to restrain soone like Margret. Cyrus was always lived under his protection and adored by everyone around him. But he was still too naïve, and he had to grow eventually. So, making him deal with Margret was the best option. Even if he suffers so setbacks, it won't cause any harm because he was in the thief's space and would learn from them. As for Margret, Ace had already guessed that she wouldn't open her mouth and she might use Alina to threaten him, and she did. So, he was now putting his hope in the soul probe once he broke into the next realm. In the anwhile, he wanted to humiliate Margret enough that she wished she was dead, and it was revenge for Alina. As for Lillian, she wasn't trouble, but he didn't want her to be used by Margret. After all, she was the ancestor of her race, so he made sure to keep her away from Margret. Margret was startled by Ace's venomous words and fud in humiliation as she roared, "Yo-you dare!? Don't you care about her!? Do you want her to die, you hypocrite man!" "Tsk, tsk, Blood Ancestor, we both know everyone with power is a hypocrite, and you no longer need to worry about Alina. I don't think you have any control over her anymore. So, enjoy your stay while you can. I have Demon Ancestor to deal with as well." Ace nacingly declared before he stopped talking. "You vile man! Show yourself if you have guts!" Margret shilled, but Ace no longer entertained her. At this mont, Cyrus finally spoke in a severe tone, "Alright, maid, now be good, or I'll get mad, and when I get mad, I'm very fierce!" Margret retorted angrily, "Shut up! You just a lowly bird!" "YOU…you bad apple! Big Sister Eva said bad apples must be punished, and only then can they be turned into good apples, just like Cyrus!" Cyrus jumped in anger, and the next mont, blue flas suddenly surged out from the little bird's body and enveloped Margret entirely like a human torch. Margret's angry expression turned appalled when she felt that strange fire that wasn't just burning her body but her soul, "Ahhhhh…" Her harrowing screams rang in the entire thief's space, and just like that, her torture began. "W-wait, Cyrus, what are you doing!" Lillian was appalled as she exclaid. Even she felt horrified by those blue flas and intense heat overcoming her very soul despite not being targeted by them. "Stop, Lilliani! If you co closer than ten ters, you'll also be a bad apple, and then you'll be punished and have to study!" Cyrus's serious voice sounded before he seed to be staggered and asked sheepishly, "Um, how much is ten ters exactly?" Lillian was instantly speechless and wanted to correct him when he called her 'Lilliani' like usual. He just refused to correct her na, but she didn't have the will to because those flas made it very difficult to approach him. Ace, who was watching this, clicked his tongue, 'Could it be that Cyrus's race couldn't learn at all and only knows how to burn things? Well, at least he's controlling his flas to ensure he won't kill her.' Ace sighed ruefully, finally turning serious, 'Should I get rid of the demon ancestor first to avoid the trouble of dealing with him afterward? If he successfully breakthrough it would be a problem. 'Well, I might as well get it done. I got over 400 million TP from Blood Ancestor, and this Qi pool is free EXP and SP. But it's a waste since I have Qi stones and Soul crystals, so I should gather it for another ti…' Making his decision, he flew towards the Demon Mountain!
