======

Now, Ace’s expression finally changed when he saw the unfamiliar reward with the name ‘Law’ in it.

“What is a law fragment?!” He quickly asked with a slightly hastened breath.

This time the system didn’t torture the poor fellow and tell him.

”[A Law Fragment holds 1% of law comprehension.]”

“Really?!”

He didn’t dare to believe it because he knew just how difficult it was to grasp these laws. They were just too mysterious, and he had never seen anyone taking or having any records about them.

Now, all of a sudden, the system revealed that it had the means to give him law comprehension. How could he remain calm?

”[Yes. The host will be rewarded with Law Fragments from Thief House Missions. The exceptional the members perform, the more law fragments host will be rewarded.]”

“Damn it, you could’ve told me sooner! At least I would make the house full long ago if I know I will get these law fragments!” Ace couldn’t help but swear in vexation.

He finally understood the benefits of the thief house were not just limited to free thief points and getting powerful helpers. It was probably just the tip of the iceberg.

Ace was now far more motivated than ever to complete a mission!

But there was still one problem, he couldn’t participate in it physically, this was a test for his leadership ability and this house members teamwork abilities which will be going to be quite problematic.

Furthermore, the time was extremely short. Winter and Freya still didn’t start cultivating in their respective cultivation techniques. So, it’s going to be a close one.

Ace was about to summon them in the spacious hall when he was started by sight when he sent his conscious into the thief’s house!

Noa and Winter just exited their room while Freya was standing at the entrance.

Their eyes were filled with gloominess for some reason.

Realization dawned on him. ‘They got their missions!’

Just a few moments ago, when Ace opened the mission, Freya, who just entered the house, also received notification as well as Noa, who was indulged in alchemy, and Winter, who was jolted from her hibernate state!

They all received one similar mission which made them understand the benefits of the Thief House weren’t free!

How could they remain idle after seeing the punishment?

Furthermore, Noa and Freya clearly knew this mission wasn’t issued by Ace, but by the ‘Goddess’ and they felt greatly distressed when they thought just how harsh the Goddess was with punishment.

Winter, on the other hand, was in hibernation because she was recovering from her soul injury, and she was only eighty percent recovered when this mysterious force made her wake up.

When she saw the mission, she felt like murdering Ace since she wasn’t even a normal member yet much less an excellent member that was three ranks above her, and on top of that, she had to work with the others which she wasn’t fond of since she didn’t trust anyone.

Winter came out to find Ace and so does Noa, and Freya just entered the house when she was stuck on her spot while reading the mission. They all bump into each other this way!

Freya’s eyes narrowed when she saw the Masked Demoness with pitch-back eyeballs, while she was shocked when she noticed the pink fox giving off a ghastly aura.

She could tell it wasn’t just any demonic beast.

Noa was also shaken up when she saw Winter, but she was more bewildered when she saw Freya, who was extremely gorgeous. She couldn’t help but narrowed her eyes with a hint of hostility.

Winter, on the other hand, was surprised when she saw Freya because her eyes were just too eye-catching and she knows all the powerful races in this world, but she never heard of a race with tri-pupils and white hair.

Furthermore, she had this extremely dangerous feeling from this woman which she only felt from a soul manifestation realm, but she could tell Freya wasn’t in that realm yet, but not far away either.

As for Noa, she completely took her as a low-level demon since she was extremely weak in her eyes with that peak Soul River cultivation of hers. She even thought Freya was the first member, not Noa.

While Freya had the same thought as Winter, as she thought Noa was the last one.

They both underestimate that masked demoness.

Freya was the first one to break the silence in her cool tone, “It seemed we all received the same mission. And here I thought it would be a happy first gathering between confederates, alas.”

Winter showed her sharp teeth as she looked at Freya. “What kind of creature you are?”

“An Ancient Beast?!” Freya’s eyes widen when she heard Winter speaking in demon language, “So, you are the one who’s responsible for that corpse army?!”

Winter’s eyes suddenly shimmered with complacency. “So, you know? Does this mean those hateful demons are suffering from my wrath? Hmph, that’s what they get from pushing me too far.”

Freya chuckled, “It seemed our opinion about the demon race is similar. The name is Freya.”

Winter also seemed to find a kindred spirit. “I never thought I would find a fellow visionary here. I’m Winter. You can tell me if someone bullies you, I’ll turn them into a corpse puppet, humph!” She proudly towered her head.

Noa was now completely out of the loop as she looked at that talking fox in astonishment since she read about the ancient beast race and the infamous All-Knowing Parrot who was also not a demon.

‘Where did the leader find them here? Furthermore, they both hate demons?’ She couldn’t help but wonder and felt displeased when those two belittled the demons and took her like a wind.

“I’m glad you two belligerents are getting along, but don’t forget there’s a demon in our house as well, and she’s your senior. So, respect her, or I won’t stop her from bullying you!” Ace’s cold voice sounded at this moment.

Ace was really speechless with those two zealous women that hate the demon race to the core and completely ignored Noa, who was far weaker than them.

Although he knows Noa didn’t like to talk with strangers but she was far more obedient than these two schemers. Furthermore, she was humble and didn’t barge about her achievements.

Noa was dumbfounded when she heard Ace’s words.

While Freya and Winter’s focus turned to the masked demoness with a hint of hostility. They naturally didn’t put Noa in their eyes since she was weak, but Ace said she can bully them. How laughable!

Noa finally spoke coldly, “I’m Noa, a Thief Assassin.” She merely nodded afterward.

“Tell them your House Rank and Thief Rank!” Ace encouraged.

Noa felt it was unnecessary, but she still did as told, “Excellent Member, and Trainee Thief!”
