Chapter 1292 Fall Guy!

Chapter 1292 Fall Guy!

Ace finally gave up habilitating both sisters as they were too unreasonable and silently accepted his new 'badass' name.

Afterward, Zaria showed him his new accommodation, which he had to admit was quite lavish and unexpected. After all, there was an alchemy workshop, forge, and even a rune crafting workshop, and they were all equipped with at least ascension grade-5 equipment.

Although Zaria's methods of 'recruiting' him were overbearing and unreasonable, he had to admit that despite her eccentric personality and foul mouth, she treated her people well, or maybe it was just enticement to keep him here.

Nonetheless, Ace was also warned about going anywhere else on the second floor without permission, especially the 'herb garden, which was apparently Zaria's 'crib! As for Leah's room, Zaria tricked the little girl by saying young ladies can't bring men in their rooms, or they'll get pregnant, making Ace speechless and fuming silently. Although this sudden response made the little girl curious to no end since she had no idea what 'pregnant' meant, Zaria masterfully silenced her, which disappointed Leah and made her pout, but she finally dropped the matter of showing Ace her room. Furthermore, Ace was also met with a subtle death glare and a smile from Zaria, which he clearly understood. Although Zaria might've made him stay because of Leah, she was clearly not going to let him be too close to her since Ace was simply too strange. After all of this, Ace was finally left alone in this huge room and started to contemplate his next course of action.

Ace sat silently on a prying mat, and his eyes flashed sharply. This entire place is covered in a powerful formation, and I'm sure that madwoman would be watching my every action.

'Furthermore, even if I escape this place and return, that Raven guy might not allow me in again. Moreover, from what I can tell, that guy might even silence me to get rid of any variable.

"The only chance is if Eleanor vouchs for me again, but would she?' Ace mused as his expression was grave.

No matter how he looked at this situation, he knew he had missed a huge opportunity to get close to this group, which was potentially the Nightfall Ravenhood or at least related to it. It was all thanks to Zaria.

For now, I should wait and see how Raven would respond to his tracking spell being destroyed. Since he gave me a warning about killing me if I failed, let's see what he'll do now. This will also shed some light on Zaria's power and background.

'Since he gave me a month, I can safely assume whatever they are doing is still in processing stages...' Ace thought as he looked at the forge room, 'I should also complete the forging of 99 weapons in the meantime as well as the cauldron required for the next step since I'm sure no normal cauldron could handle 99 heavenly weapons!

"There are only eight remaining weapons after my trip to the forger abyss. I should cultivate the Universal Ascension Black Physique as soon as possible since I need strength, whether it is getting away from here or getting close to that group.

"Are they ready?" He turned around and asked with a smile.

The woman's eyes were calm as a summer lake as she nodded expressionlessly, "Yes, they were just waiting for this chance. It seemed the peace and justice you bring them is not enough."

The man smiled wryly as he shook his head, "Do you still disapprove of our actions of expanding the Heavenly Justice Court? I need you to understand that the Beast Calamity Mountain and those old grand sects are nothing but tiny parts of the Mortal Ascension Heaven. Even if this land is liberated from sins and covered in justice and peace, it means nothing if there is still filth around us."

"I understand; you don't need to explain it to me, Your Holiness." The woman curtly replied her expression still emotionless.

Heaven's Advocate or Damien couldn't help but sigh at Emmie's lack of emotion, but he knew this was all his own doing.

He was about to say something when his expression went cold. He looked behind Emmie and said imposingly, "What is so important that you barge here like this?" Just as his booming voice rang, a tall man in golden armor appeared and kneeled instantly before he said in a panic tone, "Forgive this servant's intrusion, your holiness, but a mighty Qi signature has been detected entering the vicinity of the Heavenly Justice Court. Even your Heaven's Eyes formation can't see through his cultivation level, not to mention the other party seemed to have no attention to hiding its presence!"

When Damien heard this unexpected news, his eyes narrowed. He quickly said, "Who could this be?"

The armored man didn't reply because he had no idea either. But at this moment, a terrifying aura suddenly enveloped the entire place, changing Damien's expression while Emmie's eyes went cold.

An imposing voice reverberated like a thunderclap throughout the entire Heavenly Justice Court.

"I'm Deputy Guardian of Prime Heavenly Bank, here to apprehend Heaven's Advocate under the suspicion of colliding with a heinous criminal, Sky Stealer! I know you're in there, so come out on your own peacefully, or I'll flatten this entire place and drag you out!"

Damien's expression changed before they turned comical after he heard 'Sky Stealer, he was dumbfounded!
