Eternal Thief

Chapter 1383: The Real Deal!

”…our ʼguestsʼ have woken up!”

Aceʼs remark instantly shifted everyoneʼs attention while Star and Flaggy returned to their respective masters since they had already achieved their objective.

Ace placed the stele inside his robe, so others wouldnʼt accidentally stumble upon it, and then he looked over Eleanor and Ravencrown.

He pulled an amusing smile as he said, ”Lady Eleanor, thereʼs no need to pretend anymore.”

Eleanorʼs close eyelids twitched slightly before she opened her eyes. She directly glared at Ace coldly, yet there was a hint of shock. Ravencrown also opened her eyes, and a hint of killing intent flashed past her eyes.

Both Nightfall Ravenhood members looked at each other meaningfully before they stood up. They had already noticed their cultivation was completely suppressed, Zaria had taken the storage rings, and this unknown space was extremely strange.

Nonetheless, Eleanor and Ravencrown were familiar with the two people in front of them: Zaria and Ace, two ordinary-looking females, but they already knew they werenʼt simple at all.

Eleanor was most shocked. Because of Aceʼs appearance and the way he talked, it was clear that something was amiss.

Nonetheless, Eleanor was Ravenmind, and she knew that remaining calm was the key in these situations.

ʼCould it be heʼs pretending to be with her so he could help us?ʼ Eleanor thought as she looked at Ace and suddenly smiled beautifully. ”Long time no see, little brother Ace. It seemed we had some misunderstanding between Boss Zaria and us. In fact, we were there to ʼsaveʼ little brother Ace since we were worried after you had been missing for a long time.

”However, I think we made a wrong call. But since it was our fault, weʼre willing to compensate her and make amends. How about it?” Eleanor smiled and explained, while Ravencrown remained silent, but her eyes were filled with vigilance.

”Tsk, tsk, she can lie as easily as drinking water. No wonder sister Zaria called them talents. If I had a spot left, I wouldnʼt mind taking her under my jurisdiction.” Eva suddenly giggled as she found this situation quite hilarious.

”Itʼs all thanks to Leader.” Zaria also pulled a cold smile as she looked at Eleanor and Ravencrown mockingly. She hadnʼt forgotten about how they talked about her behind her back, especially Eleanor!

At this moment, Ravencrown coldly spoke, ”My friend and I have offended you, Miss Zaria, and we are willing to compensate you. Furthermore, itʼs better to let us go before people come looking for us. Making this matter any bigger wonʼt help either of us.

”In fact, I belong to Runic Flame Clan, and my fiancée, Jake, the son of Runic Flame Duke, will soon arrive looking for me if I donʼt return for a certain time; someone will tell him since my servants know where I am.”

Ravencrown could feel the situation was very strange, but she couldnʼt put her finger on it, and they were all talking so strangely. The first thing she heard after regaining her consciousness was, ʼIs that understood?ʼ and that voice belonged to Ace before he directly exposed them.

This made Ravencrown apprehensive of Ace. She couldnʼt help but feel Ace was different, and even Zaria was standing a step behind him. She was extremely observant, and she was studying this group of people.

Yet the more she observed them, the more shocked she became because they seemed completely relaxed. Then, this strange space and her cultivation suppression, she couldnʼt figure out what method was used to suppress her cultivation.

For the first time, Ravencrown could fully analyze her current situation. Nonetheless, Ravencrown knew Zaria wasnʼt afraid of even the Count Anvil people in Runic Forge City.

So, Ravencrown decided to use her ʼidentityʼ to deter Zaria from releasing them. Furthermore, she wasnʼt completely lying about people coming looking for her. However, instead of her ʼservantsʼ, it would be the Nightfall Ravenhood who would use any means to rescue her.

Although giving away this identity will somewhat put her in the limelight, and Ravenmind will also know about her status, it was a matter for later to worry about, since for now, she wanted to get out of this strange place.

Zaria seemed surprised when she heard ʼRunic Flame Dukeʼ and looked at Ravencrown with disbelief, ”How did you seduce that cowardly baby?”

Ace couldnʼt help but think about Jake, whom he saw with Ravencrown at that time. He wasnʼt expecting that guy to be the son of a Runic Flame Duke and couldnʼt help but feel a chill running down his spine because he knew a Runic Flame Duke should be a 9-Star Grand Lord or a Half-King!

Furthermore, he was amazed that Ravencrown managed to seduce Jake to achieve their objective.

Ravencrownʼs expression darkened as she retorted, ”Miss Zaria, please refrain from spreading rumors about the Dukeʼs Son. I donʼt care about my reputation, but you canʼt defame young Duke Jake!”

”Tsk, tsk, even that cowardly baby wonʼt dare to call himself ʼyoung dukeʼ in front of me. Tsk, if I werenʼt in this situation, I wouldʼve definitely beaten his ass right in front of you and have him divorce you.” Zaria sneered with disgust.

Eva and Alina were shocked by Zariaʼs overbearing attitude and couldnʼt help but look at Ravencrown with a hint of pity. They knew those two still had no idea their fates were sealed from the moment they entered the Thiefʼs Space.

Eleanor was also shocked after personally witnessing Zariaʼs unreasonable personality and understood why no one wanted to offend this thuggish woman.

She glanced at Ravencrown, whose skin was turning red with anger, and then looked at Ace, who was silently observing everything, and glared at him meaningfully.

Ace smiled wryly. He knew this matter wasnʼt going to end like this, so he decided to end the play and spoke in a cold tone.

”Eleanor, or should I call you Ravenmind, and you are Ravencrown of Nightfall Ravenhood. We all know who you are and what youʼre after, so letʼs drop the pretense, shall we?”

Aceʼs words surprised both Eleanor and Ravencrown because they didnʼt think he would reveal their identities like this.

At this moment, what put terror in Eleanorʼs heart was the realization that the ʼlaw contractʼ with Ace, also the source of her confidence that Ace would never betray her, was gone, as she looked at Ace with disbelief!

”W-who are you?” Eleanor questioned as she knew something had gone wrong.

Aceʼs lips curled up, and he knew Eleanor had sensed it. Like a gentleman, he introduced himself gracefully, ”Forgive me, Lady Eleanor, but revealing my real identity wasnʼt appropriate before, but I wonʼt hide it anymore.

”Iʼm Sky Stealer, the very same one you and the Nightfall Ravenhood have been looking for all this time!”
