Chapter 274: I’ll Take Whatever I Want!

In just a few moments, both Livy and Cane reached the Duke Mansion Prison and headed toward the special prison cell area.

However, Cane's expression changed ever so slightly when he reached the special cell area, and it was empty and thought with a hint of coldness in his eyes, 'That bitch knew I was bringing Demon Duke but still didn't complete her task quickly, it seemed I have been too lenient with her lately!'

Warden Cane already decided to punish Shadow heavily for her sluggishness. But the thought of her betrayal never even accrued to him. Because Cane had brought up Shadow after she lost her entire tribe in war with another tribe right in the territory of Ocean Demons. 

Although it looked like an act of kindness that Cane save Shadow and took her in. But the reality was completely different though. 

"Where is the prisoner?" Demon Duke Livy coolly asked, but there was a hint of killing intent in his husky voice. 

Warden Cane's heart palpitated as he knew Livy didn't enjoy being waited, and he already decided to punish Shadow even more heavily. 

He quickly said sheepishly with a hint of dread, "M-my Lord, it was all my fault to hand such a matter to that degenerate, I'll immediately fetch that prisoner myself!" 

"Hmph… isn't that the same girl you took in after I order you to destroy that tribe? It seemed she's as disobedient as her predecessors, Night Demon Tribe!" Demon Duke Livy sneered with killing intent. 

"Yes, she's indeed the one, My Lord. I'll just take pity on her since she looked more promising and more obedient than her rebellious father. But it seemed the apple didn't fall far from the tree. I'll defiantly educate her after this!" Warden Livy quickly sang the same tone as Demon Duke Livy. 

"No!" Demon Duke Livy's lips rose in a ruthless smile and his sharp fangs surfaced. He said, "I heard her mother was quite a beauty. She won't be too bad, either. Send her to my chamber tonight. I was just running out of playthings!" 

Warden Cane trembled slightly before nodding. "Y-yes… it'll be her honor, my lord!" 

But his thoughts were completely different. 'My lord will break another promising girl. Sigh… it's her fault. Who told you to give my lord's the reason to deal with you? Well, I always had a thought my lord let her grow to this day was probably because of this exact reason.' 

Warden Cane knew the situation was already out of his hands, and now he had to find another subordinate like Shadow again, but he knew this would not be easy because Shadow had very special abilities only her tribe possess. 

But alas, now that Demon Duke Livy had already decided to make her his plaything, no one can change his mind in this dukedom except his father Old Duke, who was not here. 

Warden Cane left to fetch Ace first since he was more important. But he didn't find him in the red pool area, and this suddenly gave him an uneasy feeling. He quickly goes toward other prison cells, but he didn't find both of them anywhere! 

Cane's expression finally changed to worse, and he knew things were going south quickly. 

'Did Shadow betray me after finding out the truth about the past?! But how did she find out only Me and Demon Duke Livy know that the Night Demon Tribe was destroyed after Duke's order? This is bad!

'If she just ran by herself, it was still salivated, but if she took that essential prisoner with her, I'm doomed! Although Duke Livy didn't show it. But he comes all the way here, which means he put quite an importance on his matter and won't spare me. He won't even consider my hundreds of years' loyalty!' 

Warden Cane broke into a cold sweat as he knew Duke Livy's vicious nature, and he caused this blunder, so he'll take the hit first!   

"So, she showed her fangs, eh!" A nonchalant yet icy husky voice rang in the silent prison. 

Warden Cane's knees intently turned into jelly as a chill run down his spine when he heard Demon Duke Livy's cold husky voice, which was like a grim ripper's scythe. He knew nothing can escape from this demon's martial sense. 

'I'm done for!'

Warden Cane's eyes were filled with abhorrence and resentment for Shadow!

Shadow did not know that she had just escaped a calamity because of her decision. 

At this moment, Shadow and Ace were leaving the Demon Duke Mansion's Gate. Both of them were in stealth. 

Shadow was quite shocked when she saw Ace's stealth because she could sense from Ace's Qi that he was only a peak 'river' realm of cultivation. But if she didn't have a special bloodline, she could never see through it even with her cultivation! She was now, even more, convinced of Ace's promise.

On the other hand, Ace was equally shocked when he noticed Shadow could see through his stealth with no eye skill or martial sense, this gave him the wrong impression that every demon can do the same. 

However, this impression didn't last long after he saw those gate guards at silver river realm who didn't notice him like Shadow, and he had a sigh of relief. 

"Umm… I have a request!" Ace suddenly said after they cross the mansion gates and stopped a few meters away from it. 

"What?!" Shadow's eyes turned cold when she saw Ace stop moving. She knew how scary Demon Duke Livy was, and they had little time before he found out about her betrayal and escaped from the prison!

"Don't worry, it's nothing… I just want that… timber name board!" Ace said with no hint of embarrassment as he pointed toward the black name board! 

Shadow was shocked and speechless when she saw where Ace had just pointed and nearly slapped him. She controlled her rage and snorted disdainfully. 

"Do you think you can take that wood of Soul Trapping Banyan Tree? Let me tell you the moment you touched it, your mind will be trapped in that wood for one day, no unless you're a Soul Manifestation Realm Cultivator! 

"Why do you think Duke Livy used this soul material as a mere name board? Because of this exact reason and no matter how you touch it, with Qi, some other material, or anything tangible, you'll be affected! 

"Besides, this name board was given to old demon duke by the Demon King and even position here by the Demon King himself as a gift for his big contribution, or even old duke wouldn't have the skill to position it here. 

"Don't you see that teeth-blade sword symbol in the corner of that board? It's the Demon King's Insignia! No one can take it as long as they didn't want their life and suffer the wrath of Demon King! 

"Since you're from a lowly race, you won't understand the statue of a Demon King's insignia represents! Now, stop wasting time on things you don't understand and keep moving before Duke Livy comes after us!" 

Shadow simply thought that Ace was being greedy here and courting death by eyeing something that belonged to a Demon King! 

However, Ace said nothing, as merely chuckle and said, "You might be right but one thing you don't know is first, I'm not a demon nor do I know what a demon king is, and second, even if Demon King was standing here I'll still take what I want the moment I got the chance!" 

Ace was telling the truth because he was a soul cultivator and his soul Qi was special, furthermore, he had defensive soul skills as well. After listening to Shadow's explanation, he was now, even more, determined to take that name board even if he had to pay the price again since the Demon King won't give something ordinary! 

He quickly made a martial thread, and it shot toward that name board like an intelligent arrow. Ace didn't use soul thread since no one here besides him and Shadow and the guards were also relaxed. 

Shadow wanted to stop him, but she felt Ace had already used his Qi since he was very close to him. Her heart sank as she suddenly regretted believing this belittled, reckless and greedy mongrel!

However, what happened next made her eyes wide open and flabbergasted. Right in front of Shadow's eyes, the name board that was in its position for thousands of years suddenly vanished, only leaving an impression of it! 

How could she not be shocked? That board was like a symbol of Demon King's authority, and it wasn't easy to take it, either. But now Ace had taken it, suffering no consequences! 

Ace grinned widely as he didn't feel any kind of discomfort even after touching it without marital Qi and storing it inside his thief's space.

He looked at dumbfounded Shadow who was looking at him as she had seen a ghost and said while smirking, "Remember, I'll take whatever I want and whenever I want, because I'm a… thief!"
