Chapter 366: 365

Inside a carriage,

Thomas and Ace were heading toward the royal demon council, which wasn’t far from the ocean demon duke estate.

“So, brother Feng, tell me, what makes you trust me so much that you revealed your half sword intent without any worry?” Thomas suddenly asked. He had wanted to ask this question from the moment Ace revealed his sword intent.

Ace sighed. Things were moving, too fast. They were just inside Thomas’s room a few moments ago, and now they were going toward the royal demon council. Things were moving too… smoothly from Ace’s perspective.

Although he showed his sword intent for this exact change, he never thought old man Maddux would decide to trust him without asking for an oath contract.

Thomas also acted friendly toward him right now, and he could tell he was sincere this time around, and this made Ace feel somewhat guilty when he thought he was taking advantage of someone’s sincerity and friendship.

If old man Maddux has also wanted him to use an oath contract or if Thomas has rejected the old man Maddux’s decision, then Ace wouldn’t be feeling this way at all.

‘Well, whatever, it’s not like I’m stealing from them or anything. I just won’t steal from Thomas’s party.’ Ace thought.

This was the only way he could make himself feel better.

“What happened, brother Feng? You seemed absent-minded?”

Thomas’s voice pulled Ace out of his thoughts and he said with a smile, “It’s nothing I’m still feeling it’s all just a dream that I’m going to get a noble demon title of my own, and it’s all thanks to brother Thomas kindness.”

Thomas shook his head and said, “No, I’m pretty sure you can get a noble demon title on your own if you don’t have to look over your shoulder for ocean demon tribe all these years.”

“Well, I’m glad my gamble of trusting you paid off.” Feng said with a grateful expression, “But I’m still curious, how will obtaining a noble title fast have anything to do with that chance the senior was talking about? Can you please tell me if it’s not too bothersome, brother Thomas?”

Ace was really curious about this chance Maddux speak-off, and he could guess it has something to do with Thomas’s Demon Earl Title. It might be quite precious since Thomas needed this much consideration to give it to Feng.

“Gamble you say, I don’t think brother Feng is someone who could gamble such a secret on a whim and if you really gambled it, then I think you are one hell of a gambler.” Thomas chuckled lightly, he clearly doesn’t believe Ace’s words, but he didn’t pursue the matter either.

He said, “The chance grandpa Maddux was talking about is related to my demon earl title. Since you didn’t have an individual noble demon title, it’s only natural for you to not know about this.

“You see, every demon who could gain an individual noble demon title of an Earl rank or higher will be given one recommendation chance. This recommendation chance can only be used once, and not even a demon duke can get another recommendation chance if he used it.

“This recommendation chance gives us noble demons a privilege to instantly recommended someone for a noble demon title trial and if they passed it, they can get a noble demon title within two weeks.

“But if they failed, not only will the noble demon who recommend the demon will lose its chance, but the other demon who failed the trial will lose its qualification to become a noble demon forever.

“That’s why seldom noble demons used their recommendation chances and only if they have someone like a loyal servant who can get the noble demon title or a close family member, then they used it. You could understand its importance now, right?”

Ace was astonished. He never thought there was such a privilege for a noble demon with an individual noble demon title. But this privilege was a double-edged sword because if the trailer failed, then he won’t be able to have another go at the individual noble demon title anymore and the recommender will also lose this precious chance to acquire a noble demon subordinate as well.

“Brother Thomas, I really didn’t know this change was this precious. Are you really sure you want to give this chance to me without any oath contract? Don’t you think I’ll be an ingrate and won’t repay this favor?” Ace said in an impassive tone.

Thomas deeply looked at Feng’s serious face before his lips curled into a smile and said, “So what if you turn your back on me and appeared someone ungrateful? I just think I, Thomas, didn’t have eyes for a friend. I won’t hold it against you. But are you really an ingrate, brother Feng?”

Ace sighed when he heard Thomas repose. He still was testing if Thomas could change his decision, but he didn’t and even threw a question with a deep meaning behind it.

This time, Ace said with a solemn expression on his face, “I’ll help you one time for this favor as long as it’s within my power. I won’t back down. You have my word!”

Thomas felt Feng’s words hold some kind of unbreakable bound for some reason because of his soul cultivation. He found it absurd, but he had this strange feeling that Feng really mean what he said from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, Ace heard an unexpected notification from the system.
