Chapter 1035: 823 Shooting Oneself On Feet!



Despite Alina was shocked and dismayed by this incredible revelation, she listened to Ace's explanation about what the Devil's Love Ritual was really about.

In the end, even she now felt somewhat baffled by this woman named Eva's daring and, despite not wanting to admit she, felt a grudging respect for this exact reason.

Nevertheless, this didn't mean she would accept this with a grain of salt and objected vehemently, "This won't change the fact that she tricked you into marriage and didn't inquire about whether you agreed or not! How can you be so calm about it?"

Ace smiled wryly, "Calm? I was furious back then. But what else should've had I done? The deed was already done, and it was not something you could take back at will." He sighed ruefully, "Or trust me. I would've done so if it was an option the moment I found it about it. Furthermore, as I said, she was not in the right state of mind at that because of my unusual advantage over her race."

Alina bit her lower lips and asked, "So, you accepted that forceful marriage?"

Ace looked at Alina's anguish expression, and after a moment of hesitation, he ended up nodding, "Indeed. At that time, I was really moved by her willingness to die with me, probably because someone had never done something like this for me. Despite not wanting to admit it, after you left, I was again alone, just like before you came into my life. That was probably the reason I'd accepted her in a heartbeat. But it wasn't just that alone because right after that..."

He then told her about the sealing process of Eva, and he had already turned the system into a 'god' just like he usually does since it was far more believable, and Alina focused more on Eva than Ace's backer.

The more Alina heard about how Eva was willing to turn into something completely different so that she could protect him. She felt ashamed when she thought about how she left him there.

In the end, the fleeting animosity she felt for Eva or resentment towards Ace for not waiting for her and accepting someone else turned into guilt and helplessness. Even a fool could tell Ace really loved Eva now, and there was nothing changing that unless she went to the past and changed everything.

Alina was left bereft after listening to Ace and Eva's story and felt felt cold and hollow inside.

Now that Ace had told her about his truth, he felt a massive mountain had been lifted from his heart, but the state that the truth left Alina made him feel worried about her. Nevertheless, he knew this could happen, and it was far better than her finding out later before things would turn for worse.

In the end, he seriously stated, "Before, what I mean was come be a part of my crew, and it's living together, kind of, I guess. You've already met Winter. There are still Freya and Noa.

"Because I can't have a peaceful life even if I want to because of my backer as well as I'm not ready to stop. Furthermore, it's quite beneficial to be a part of the Thief House, and it's an opportunity like no one can give you under heaven and earth!"

Alina suddenly looked at Ace, clearly startled, and asked with a strange light in her eyes, "There are two more women, and you even want me to be part of your crew?" Tears fall from her eyes at this moment, "You womanizer!"

Ace was completely taken aback by her sudden outburst, and that word caused his mouth to twitch, "I-I'm no womanizer! There is a valid reason for the Thief House only having women right now!"

"Oh, yeah? And you're still planning to collect more? What your precious wife had to say about it?" Alina was now angry.

Not only was Ace now married to Eva, but he even had three more women in his Thief House, and her anger turned on Ace now as she thought he had turned into a womanizer. This wasn't the Ace she knew, and she felt like he was tricking her like the other women as well.

Her imagination runs wild as all her despair, helplessness, and pent-up anger turn toward Ace.

Ace was speechless as he suddenly remembered in the past, Alina had thrown a tantrum, and things turned into a mess at that time. So, he didn't dare to make her resentful again.

But now, she was behaving the same, which was the least Ace expected, and she was no longer the little girl but the Ice Sword Fairy.

He quickly tried to salvage the situation, "You're getting it wrong. I've never had any feelings for besides Eva. She also knows about you, and she even predicted something like this might've happened. So, she..." Ace quickly shut his mouth when he about said, 'She gave her support for him to have more.'

If he said that, didn't this mean he was really a womanizer and seeking more wives? This would definitely turn things for the worse!

The rageful Alina was startled at this moment, while tears were still steaming from her eyes, "So, what? Did she tell you to court more women, even me?!" As a woman, her instincts were extremely sharp when it came to other women and this sort of matter.

Ace's heart sank when she guessed it just like that, but as a professional lair, he salvaged his expression from changing and quickly told her, "It's not like this..."

"Stop! Where is she? I want to meet with this she-devil!" Alina cut him sort as her eyes were filled with chilly intent as she looked at Ace and demanded with no room negotiation.

'This is bad...' Ace didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he knew meeting between the two would spell nothing but disaster.

Although Alina was strong, once she entered the thief's space, her cultivation would be suppressed because she wasn't a member of the thief's house, nor was she bound to Ace like Cyrus and Eva.

Furthermore, Alina was not in her right mind, so he had to reject her, "She's not here. How can I arrange a meeting?"

Alina looked at him as if he was an idiot, "Oh yeah? Then how about you let me visit this living space of yours which you had sealed her into. I've never seen one before!"

Ace almost cursed himself as it completely escaped his mind that he just told her about his thief's space, and now he could smell an incoming catastrophe, 'Me and my damnable mouth!'
