Eternal Thief

Chapter 1276 Iʼm Ace!

Ace looked at Eleanor, who was suspicious of him and knew she didnʼt believe him. But he wasnʼt afraid; after all, if push came to shove, heʼd just escape.

”My lady, why would I dare lie to you? If you are not convinced, you can check my belongings. I have nothing worthy to hide. Iʼm just trying to live here, nothing more, nothing less.” Ace bitterly sighed.

Eleanor looked at Ace deeply before saying, ”Iʼll give you another chance. If you reveal yourself, I might let you work for me. You should know that Iʼm from the King Sect, and my position in the sect is pretty influential, so Iʼm asking you one last time: who are you really?”

”Fufu- dear Steward, why donʼt you just try to seduce her? With your appearance, Iʼm sure you have a high chance of succeeding. Especially with that flowery tongue of yours!” At this moment, Malservusʼs playful voice rang in Aceʼs head at this moment. Ace was speechless as he retorted, ”Iʼm not a womanizer, and I donʼt think itʼs necessary.”

”Fufufu...” Malservus laughed as if she had heard the funniest joke ever, ”And you call yourself a thief? Itʼs not about whether youʼre a womanizer or not; itʼs about taking advantage of the situation. Iʼve been watching you for a while now, and I couldnʼt help but notice that you always hide your face, which actually could be your biggest weapon, especially against women.

”But for some reason, you seemed to avoid exactly doing this, and instead, you go through so much trouble. You should know that ʼloveʼ is the most powerful weapon at your disposal, and a person in love, no matter how rational they are, might make mistakes that you canʼt begin to imagine.

”But of course, itʼs also a double-edged sword, and if you fall for it yourself, you can only blame yourself. However, I know you already have women that you love and cherish, and thatʼs why you avoid using these kinds of tactics.

”However, Iʼll repeat it again, ʼloveʼ can be used as a weapon, and you know better than me that Heavenʼs Stealer has a natural charm. Why do you think this is the case? Stop restraining yourself and only hide your appearance when youʼre going to theft. This way, you donʼt have to rely on your mask so much, which can easily be seen through by powerful cultivators.

”Lastly, if you continue to wear that mask and hide behind a different face, you might lose your true self one day and forget who you actually are. Youʼll become a hollow walking corpse without any real emotions.

”A thief is despicable, a deceiver, even a merciless executioner, but a true thief knows who he is deep down. This is the only thing youʼre lacking right now, and soon, itʼll become your biggest shackle!

”I respect your loyalty towards your women, but not taking advantage of this biggest weakness called ʼloveʼ is plain stupidity. Anyway, Iʼm just a bystander and only an advisor; whether you heed my advice is up to you.” Malservus solemnly yet

dismissively stated before she went silent that she no longer cared about what Ace thought about this.

However, she didnʼt know she had struck a chord unknowingly. Aceʼs eyes widened for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat because even the system had warned him about something like this.

Suddenly, a faint question rose in Aceʼs heart, ʼWho am I? Iʼm a thief..., Iʼm Heavenʼ Stealer...not, but Heavenʼs Stealer is just a title, not the true me... W-who am I? Sky Stealer? No, NO, NO...ʼ

Aceʼs mind was shaken suddenly, and he was frightened before his eyes widened as he blurted out, ”Iʼm Ace!”

”Oh... Ace?” Eleanor clearly heard Aceʼs words, and she couldnʼt help but narrow her eyes ever so slightly because she felt something was not right with Ace, and his demeanor seemed to have undergone a huge change.

Before, it lacked something, but now, all of a sudden, it changed as if this young man had grasped some kind of truth about himself.

”Ace...” Ace looked at Eleanor, his eyes glowing brightly as he nodded his head. His face began to change under Eleanorʼs astounding glaze.

His body grew from 5ʼ8 ”to 6ʼ4” tall, with a toned build and perfectly shaped muscles. His short hair also grew into long, inky black hair, which was even blacker than the black resting over his broad shoulder.

However, Eleanorʼs eyes were affixed on his otherworldly handsome diamond-shaped pale white face, which, with a chiseled chin, emitted a threatening charm. His astute dark blue eyes and gentle smile suddenly made her heart skip a beat.

Although she had seen Aceʼs appearance outside, she still felt the Ace in front of him now was far more handsome to a terrifying level than his avatar.

She was also right because this was Aceʼs real body, which had a primordial cultivation base built with the Heavenʼs Stealer cultivation technique, and his natural charm was

terrifying!

Ace sighed gently, but his smile left his face as he looked at Eleanor, who suddenly averted his eyes. She felt that if she didnʼt, she would lose herself in those dark blue eyes, and a faint shade of redness surfaced on her fair face.

Aceʼs smile grew slightly as he bowed and introduced himself, ”I am...Ace, not Sky Stealer or George. I hope my lady wonʼt mind my previous discretion because I was just protecting myself.”

”Fufufu- now thatʼs what Iʼm talking about. Ace should have his own identity and personality, his own life, which means YOUR life! Only when you steal will you have other identities; you are Heavenʼs Stealer, not a figurehead for the title; donʼt let it consume you; instead, make it your own!” Malservusʼs content voice rang, but there was a hint of apprehension because she felt that she had just released a monster from its cage.

”Thank you, master. If not for you, I wouldʼve really lost myself. Even I didnʼt notice it... ”Ace was really grateful to Malservus for warning him before it was too late.

Malservus didnʼt say anything and remained silent as if she didnʼt care for Aceʼs gratitude. Ace didnʼt mind, as only he knew what had just happened and its significance.

A dark lightning flashed past Aceʼs determined eyes, ʼFrom now on, there will be a place for ʼAceʼ in this world!”
