Eternal Thief

Chapter 1016 Unstoppable Pair

Aceʼs eyes flashed when he heard about Zackʼs aspiration, ”If he wanted to ascend, then this means he needed an ascension altar, right? If Iʼm not wrong, the imperial family shouldʼve used the Ascension Temple to ascend or at least something related to it. So, this could only mean that Principal Zack knew about the location of this temple or at least some clues about it. Did you try probing it?”

Eva nodded before gloomily saying, ”I indeed did since I also thought the same. But he didnʼt tell me anything about it. All he told me was that he needed the imperial family when the time came. But he also said that in the future, if I ever reached this point, heʼll make arrangements for me, and also, heʼll bring me along to see him ascend since it is beneficial for my future cultivation path.”

”This…” Ace mused before his eyes brightened, ”Didnʼt this mean that all we need to do is to make Principal Zack take that step, and then you can follow him, and then you might be able to get the location of the ascension temple?”

”It should be the case.” Eva nodded as she knew what Ace was thinking, ”But it wonʼt be easy, especially now that he wanted to train me until I obtain the power to protect myself. Evieʼs persona is only at the peak of the soul realm, and he wonʼt be satisfied until I reach at least the early stage of the law comprehension realm.

”If I show too fast of progress, then he might get suspicious of me, so this approach might take us a few decades, even centuries if we donʼt want to draw everyoneʼs attention.”

Ace frowned as he knew Eva was stating the facts. Even though they were in a very optimal situation, this was also their shackle. He didnʼt have time if Ace really wanted to go with this plan.

Eva suddenly said, ”Thatʼs why I have another plan that wonʼt require us to waste so much time, or you donʼt have to take a huge risk.”

”Oh, do tell?” Ace was astounded.

Eva suddenly pulled a mysterious smile as she said, ”Didnʼt I tell you after that marriage incident? Although the emperor seemed to have given up, it wasnʼt the case at all. The very next day, the idiot prince suddenly comes here in the sham of completing his studies, but everyone knows that heʼs here to win Evieʼs heart, and since heʼs been discreet about it, Principal Zack canʼt do anything.

”Furthermore, you might not know this, but the second prince also has the spot of the Vice Principal Jenna. Jenna has a very special identity that only the ten imperial teachers know about. Sheʼs actually the wife of the Mortal Emperor, the Mortal Empress, which also made her the imperial childrenʼs mother!”

Ace was surprised by this revelation since he didnʼt expect the empireʼs Empress to serve as the schoolʼs Vice Principal. This was really a huge matter.

Ace suddenly thought of something as he asked, ”Could she be here to keep an eye on Zack and diminish his authority over the school?”

Eva smiled coldly, ”Indeed, as Iʼve told you, Principal Zack is the strongest person in the entire Sky Heart Mortal Empire, and heʼs not someone the Imperial Family could control. He could even start a coup and change the entire imperial bloodline, so how could they allow him to raise his authority and influence?

”Thatʼs why the empress was instated as a vice principal to stop this sort of matter from occurring. But Principal Zack didnʼt have such ambition; in his eyes, they were just clowns performing a show.

”But he also warned that I should stay clear of Jenna as sheʼs very scheming and actually the true political mind of the imperial palace. Since Evie has extreme talent, Jenna naturally wonʼt allow her to turn into second Zack, and since sheʼs also a woman, itʼs given them even more confidence to deal with her.

”Simply put, as long as the prince can capture Evieʼs heart, what can he do even if Principal Zack wonʼt agree? His lifespan is coming to an end, and even if he doesnʼt ascend, he wonʼt be here for too long. So, it was a perfect strategy, and they had ample time on their side.

”If Principal Zack hadnʼt taken me as his disciple and silently left, then it was all well and good, but now that Iʼm his successor and also someone with peerless talent, they wonʼt sit still.

”But what I didnʼt understand is the Crown Prince swaggering his way here with his fiancé and he wasnʼt just sitting idly as well, I have already received many gifts from him.” Eva sneered in disdain as she wasnʼt a fool.

A cold glint flashed past his eyes as he had already expected this much, those guys were fighting over Rianaʼs favor all these years especially the second prince despite knowing her marriage arrangement with his brother.

Although the second prince was very careful, the Crown prince wasnʼt a fool, so he sent Abner to keep an eye on Riana. But he also turned out to be a second prince spy.

Now the crown prince also gets the chance to get back at him, how could he miss it?

Furthermore, Evieʼs talent was even more astounding than Rianaʼs; she had already achieved something impossible that even their founding emperor couldnʼt, so she was even more important.

”What is your plan?” Ace asked again, as he had already guessed in his heart.

Eva smiled evilly, ”I was supposed to stay on the tenth floor of the tower where Principal Zack lived, but Jenna still somehow managed to convince him to keep me here until I reached the peak of soul manifestation.

”And now that those two idiots are pasturing me endlessly so, all I can do is remain in seclusion. But what if, Iʼve played those two fools into revealing the information of the ascension temple?

”In five weeks, the imperial familyʼs secret realm, the Sky Abyss, will be opened, and all the children of the imperial family and the most talented talents of the empire could enter; Iʼm also invited, and even Principal Zack has told me that the secret realm is filled with opportunities so he told me to go.

”Furthermore, the soul art Iʼve told you about also originated from the Sky Abyss Secret Realm. Principal Zack acquired it when he entered the Sky Abyss in the past, which is the cause of his rise.

”Only those below the age of 150 can enter the Sky Abyss, which means there would be no one to protect those brats. We can get all the information we want!” Eva stated confidently.

Aceʼs eyes also brightened as he knew this was a very good plan, and since everyone would be isolated from the outside, no one would know what was happening.

Just Eva was enough to handle everyone, and if he was also added to the mix, then they were unstoppable. Even in the entire Sky Heart Plains, no one can match them.

Aceʼs lips curled up thievishly, ”Youʼre indeed my precious wife.”

Eva smiled smugly, ”Hmph, as long as you understand!”
