Chapter 488 Move On

“Excellent Member, and Trainee Thief!”

Freya and Winter’s eyes widen slightly when they heard Noa has already completed the two conditions in the House Mission, which means Noa had the biggest chance to pull this off and she can also help them with their rank problems as well.

Freya finally move toward Noa and smiled amiably and performed a noble demon salute, “I’m Freya, an Evil Witch. I apologized for my rudeness. I have no grudge against you since you are a member of the Thief House. But my race was butchered by the demon in the past so you can understand my enmity with demons. I hope you’ll forgive me.”

Noa looked at this charming woman in armor with a hint of shock when she heard about why Freya hated demons. She knew better than anyone what it felt like to lose their entire bloodline, and Freya had lost her entire race on top of that.

‘It seemed she was also scheming her revenge, but unknowingly met with Leader.’ Noa presumed since this was how she met with Ace as well.

She nodded. “I can understand. Don’t worry about what Leader said he likes to joke.” Her voice was impassive and cold.

Winter now looked at two women with a hesitant look in her eyes, but she knew for this mission they had to get along, so she could only swallow her pride.

“I’m Winter. P-please to meet you.” this takes all her willpower to say, especially to a demon.

Noa nodded as she still looked at the big fox with wonder. She never thought she would meet with an ancient beast here, of all places.

“See, it wasn’t too hard?” Ace snickered as if he was holding back his laugh.

Winter shouted in indignation as she looked at the ceiling, “Perverted Scoundrel, I demand an explanation!”

“Perverted?”

“Scoundrel?”

Both Noa and Freya were startled when they heard Winter calling Ace in such words and wonder what happened.

Ace’s unhappy voice rang. “Ignore her. She was possessed by an Evil Spirit, so her mind was affected.”

“What did you say? Come here if you have guts!” Winter roared in outrage.

“Stop screaming, or I won’t help you.” Ace threatened coldly.

Winter gnashed her teeth but didn’t speak anymore since she knew this was really a predicament where they need Ace.

Freya’s eyes shimmered with a strange glint as if she discovered something interesting.

But she had a more important thing to worry about. She asked sternly, “What did this expulsion mean in punishment?”

Ace replied in a stern tone, “As you all know about the house rules, once join you cannot leave, so once you expel you can relate what that means.”

He knew system ways of doing things were extremely harsh, especially with the first mission. He had got a death punishment as well on his first mission.

Now that the house was full, it wanted to test the members’ ability, if they were worthy of being with Ace or not. It won’t hesitate like Ace to get rid of them if it found them a burden, even if Ace had other thoughts.

The three women also fell silent when they heard Ace confirming it. They had already thought about it.

Although they all knew the opportunity they have were top of the world, now they have to prove themselves to be worthy of this opportunity.

Noa was the calmest of the others and said, “We just have to trust the Leader. Although he can’t take part in the mission, don’t forget, that he can help us craft the entire theft plan. Did you forget who is he?”

Freya’s eyes suddenly widen slightly. She didn’t forget how Ace had done all those thieveries himself. He had no one to aid him in them and she only join recently.

Especially the theft of Life Treasure Pagoda, which seemed impossible, but Ace pull that off!

“Heh, see? She knows me the best. I won’t let you die as long as you don’t want to. So, first, change your cultivation techniques. You two didn’t have to erase your foundation, so it wouldn’t be too difficult for you to cultivate in the river core realm in one year, right? Noa is probably not far away from it, either.” Ace’s confident voice rang as if everything was under his control.

He knew if they had to keep their morale high as a leader, or they might not pull this off. Furthermore, he had to guide them through this so he will not hold back on them either.

The first thing was to cultivate the system’s cultivation techniques so they could mold into their genres, and after that, he would have a year to think about it.

Winter’s eyes narrowed. “I can, but I need pills and a massive amount of them!”

Although crossing four realms in a year from the start was possible, since she had already cultivated them before. But she needs a huge number of pills, with this environment of the thief’s house, and even with her stock, it wasn’t enough.

Freya suddenly giggled charmingly, “Don’t worry, if there’s an individual who had the greatest number of pills in the entire eight provinces, then it would be our Great Leader.”

Noa’s eyes suddenly widen and couldn’t help but asked, “Did he?”

“Heh.” Freya chuckled and nodded in acknowledgment.

“What are you talking about?” Winter was perplexed since she was the only one who knew nothing.

Ace’s cool voice rang in agreement. “Just focus on cultivating. Pills weren’t an issue. It is also not wise to appear right now.”

“Then I leave everything to you. I’m going to cultivate. There’s no time to waste. I’ll see you in a year.” Freya decisively left toward her own room in a hurry.

She had accommodated over twenty-five thousand HP, so she wasn’t willing to waste time finding out about the corpse army and the past of the other two members. She can do all this after she has kept her life.

“I’m also going. Don’t forget to give me Soul Recovery Pills as well. Hmph!” Winter also quickly left, since she had enough house points to buy the cultivation technique.

Noa was also about to enter her own cultivation room to start cultivating the Night Demon Body Transformation.

However, Ace’s voice rang. “Don’t resist.”

She suddenly felt another pull and was startled, but she didn’t resist and the next moment she appeared in another dark space, but she was shocked when she found there were countless storage rings!

“Don’t be alarmed, this is my personal space.” Ace’s calm voice rang, “I take you here because you are already far ahead of the others, and also an alchemist. As you can see, this entire site is filled with storage rings that have raw materials for both paths. You can take as many as you want for your practice and collect materials for your body cultivation technique as well.”

Noa was shocked when she heard this, and couldn’t help but say earnestly, “T-thank you.”

Ace chuckled, “Don’t mention it. I have my personal reason as well. Just give me the soul pills and martial pills you have no use for in the future. So, we both benefit from it. Take this as well. I think it should belong to you and you can use it better than anyone.”

Noa suddenly saw a golden and green ring appear before her and she take it with bewilderment as if she had seen it somewhere.

“This is your teacher’s ring, and his entire legacy is in it as well. Although I stole it from it him, he might’ve given it to you in the future, eventually. This way, I also won’t feel too bad about it as well.” Ace mocks himself with a wry smile.

He knew Gatlin treat Noa quite well or he would never have appeared there for her so quickly, which also made him feel somewhat bad for the old man. But he was a thief, and this was his way of living and his path.

So, he could only do this much to make his heart less heavy.

Noa also felt emotional when she saw the vast amount of materials and knowledge in it, as well as the ancient red cauldron with a dragon engraving. It was a soul cauldron of Gatlin and his most precious treasure. He once showed it to her and promise to give it to her as long as she reached his level.

She remembered Gatlin’s gratified smile that day, and clench that ring, ‘I’ll never let your legacy die… teacher.’

“After you’re done, tell me, and I’ll send you back.” Ace’s voice sounded and didn’t disturb her anymore since he could feel her complex emotions.

‘This would be a normal thing in the future and they will turn into liars like me… is this the way of a thief?’ Ace couldn’t help but wonder.

But then shook his head. He would never regret his decision to become a thief, and being a lair wasn’t so bad as long as he remained honest with the ones he trusts.

He was now moving toward the mighty spear province, but he was still not done with the house members.

He sent his consciousness into the Winter’s space and she was just about to start the cultivation when she heard his stern voice.

“Tell me everything about the corpse army!”
