Chapter 1277 Who Trapped Who?



chapter 1277 who trapped who?

eleanor quickly suppressed those strange and unknown feelings in her heart as she said in a grave tone, "how should i believe what you just said is true? after all, you are extremely strange, and i can't even see through your methods at all."

ace didn't seem flustered at all. he knew a woman like eleanor would be extremely cautious, and he already had a plan.

he replied smilingly, "how about my lady and i sign a law contract? this way, you won't have to worry about anything, right? furthermore, since i've already decided to reveal myself, i think we can both benefit from this. i wonder if my lady is interested in working together with me?"

eleanor suddenly felt joy when she heard ace wanted to work with her, but her mind went blank, and she was secretly horrified, 'what is happening to me? is he using some manipulation spell on me?! no! it's impossible. not only is my cultivation extremely higher than his, but i also have a soul-defensive treasure that even an ascension lord can't bypass.

'so, why does he have this strange effect on me? it's not like i haven't seen charming men; even his 'clone' outside couldn't affect me... he's dangerous!

eleanor's eyes narrowed. her cultivation and standing were extremely high, so she instantly found this situation strange. yet despite that, her eyes never left ace, and the way he looked at her in anticipation made her somewhat flustered.

"you're quite bold for a mere ascension warrior. you want to work with me? what qualifications do you have? of course, you still didn't tell about that 'clone' of yours and what you trick the bank." eleanor's voice was cold, yet a hint of curiosity shone in her eyes, "of course, if you're that sky stealer, that'll explain everything, and i might be interested in working with you."

"this woman is not easy to trick...' ace sighed in his heart, but he could also tell that eleanor was greedy and decisive, or they wouldn't be having this conversation.

ace thought for a moment before he meaningfully said, "it seemed my lady is not afraid of getting associated with the sky stealer, huh?"

eleanor sneered, "why would i be afraid? as long as no one knows you are the sky stealer, and i make sure you won't open your mouth, who could tell? after all, you seemed to have somehow convinced the deputy guardian that you aren't sky stealer and even managed to earn yourself a spot in their ranks. i must say you're impressive. "but it won't work on me. even if you're not the sky stealer, you have something to do with him, or it might be that you're the true mastermind behind everything, and sky stealer is your pawn!"

'her imagination is too wild...' ace smiled wryly before he replied, "you're overthinking, my lady; i can assure you i'm not. sky stealer, and the reason deputy guardian let me off the hook was because i let him use soul search on me. or do you think that a power like prime heavenly wealth king sect is filled with idiots?"

eleanor was shocked as she looked at ace with disbelief. although his words were ridiculous, she suddenly felt it made sense since it was the only way deputy guardian would not only leave ace alone but also recruit them into the sect.

"that's why i use my 'double' to switch with my body to go with them, which, by the way, is as real as me, and i can only create one in my entire life with my bloodline

ability.

"although my double can easily endure soul search, it's still killable, and once it dies, i'll never be able to create a new one. as for my disguise methods, they are also part of

my bloodline.

"now, i told you everything, my lady, because..." ace hesitated for a moment before he gently looked at eleanor and said, "it's b-because, for some reason, i felt i could trust

you. that's why i want to work with you..."

eleanor, who was attentively listening, suddenly felt her heart skip a beat before it beat wildly when she heard ace's last words.

but she quickly surpassed it again, but the redness on her forehead couldn't be hidden. she promptly retorted, "s-shut up! this is all but your speculation! however, if you really have this unidentified human bloodline, you are qualified to become my underling. if you accept this arrangement, then let's sign a law contract. i'll keep your secret in return, and you have to work for me.

"if you perform well, you have a place beside me when i ascend to the position of valley lord. however, if you still do not appreciate my kindness, then you can forget about leaving here, and i'll drag you back and hand you over to the valley. at that time, your 'fantasy' might become reality!"

eleanor's attitude was unyielding, but she didn't know that those words were precisely what ace was waiting for.

ace showed a hint of difficulty before he sighed in resignation and helplessly said, "it seemed it's my fate to be a lowly person. but for the sake of survival, i'll do it. still, you have my thanks, my lady, for taking this lowly one in. ace will be your most loyal follower from now on!"

eleanor felt pity and sadness when she heard ace's sad voice, but she quickly got rid of those dangerous thoughts and showed a stratified smile, "good, since you're my underling now, i'll reward you with one thing from this inheritance. you can choose yourself what you want!"

ace was surprised, but when he thought about who eleanor was, he didn't find this strange since these things might be too low for her standards.

ace's eyes shimmered brightly as he quickly said, "if that's the case, i can't thank you enough for your generosity...!"
