Chapter 1168: Abduction...No, Invitation!
After leaving the Sea of Secrets, Ace didn't exit the Black Market; instead, he entered an inn to absorb all the information he had gathered from the Crystal of Secrets and share it with his house members.
Although he was under the so-called 'Law Contract', he has his Avatar of Holy Twilight, which was another existence entirely, and since his avatar has the same memories as Ace, he can divulge anything he wants.
Furthermore, the Avatar of Holy Twilight had already been upgraded by him to the peak (9-Star) of the Ascension Soldier realm after spending 100 Million TP. Thereby, the Holy Twilight Qi of the Avatar of Holy Twilight evolved into Holy Twilight Spirit Qi. As for where it was, only Ace knew, but the Avatar of Holy Twilight was his biggest trump card to escape perilous situations.
Night descended as two half-moons surrounded by an endless sea of stars illuminated the sky in their gentle, silvery light.
However, the Black Market and the Western Guardian Sect City were still bustling like a day, and at this moment, four figures in cloaks appeared within the same inn where Ace was staying.
A tall cloaked figure placed a bunch of crystal white coins with exquisite craftsmanship and peculiar Qi emitting from them like a special signature on the counter where a masked man was sitting.
On one side of this coin, there is a symbol of an imposing golden-winged beast with a bifurcated tail and flaming mane, with two antelope horns and a string with a runic character on its broader side. On the other side, there is a runic symbol characterized as 'Tier-3'.
These coins were the Tier-3 Spirit Coins of the Prime Heavenly Bank, which are similar to Upper Ascension Grade-1 Spirit Stones or Spirit Crystals.
"A man with two magic beasts on his shoulder, where is he?" The cloaked man questioned in a gruff voice.
The inn owner in the mask looked thoughtfully at the cloaked men before he kept the spirit coins and answered impassively, putting on a runic card in front of the cloaked man: "203. If you break anything, you'll have to pay."
Nonetheless, Ace was very interested in the Weston Clan, and it should be even easier for him to enter the Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect with them as his backers.
"What if I refuse?" George asked with a cold smile.
The man in charge of this mission snorted coldly and replied unkindly, "Then all we could do is return and report this to the clan. But I would like to warn Mr. George that you will earn yourself an enemy like the Weston Clan instead of their friendship.
"Once they happen, I'm afraid you won't have any place in this city, and maybe not even in the main Sect. After all, you have already offended the Oriente family member, Wallace, who is the second son of the Oriente family head and also one of the top Forger Disciple of the Outer Sect.
"Only with Weston's family backing can you escape this predicament. So, I would humbly suggest you come with us if you want to have a better future for yourself and Violet Yang Grand Sect."
"Hehehe, good ol' threats." George suddenly laughed and appeared like a madman in those four men's eyes before he grinned coldly towards them, "But I liked it. Let's go, I want to see what the Weston Clan has to offer, and I'll return these storage rings to you. What a poor bunch you are!"
They were dumbfounded when they heard George calling them 'poor' before they became even more furious despite getting their rings back.
The man suppressed his urge to slap this arrogant brat and asked, while showing his ring ringer, "What about this curse marker?"
George shrugged his shoulder helplessly, "It's my style to leave behind my 'mark' since I can't let anyone else claim the credit for my glorious deed. But to remove it, I'm afraid you have to wait for 50 years before it goes away, or you can try it yourself. But I have no other to remove besides this!"
"5-5-50 years!?"
Everyone's eyes widened with horror as they gritted their teeth while looking towards George, and what made them almost caught up in blood was his next sentence.
"Don't worry, poor sods; my mark is completely harmless and has an aesthetic value, so there is no need to be shy!"
