Eternal Thief

Chapter 1142 Establishing Order!

At this moment, two tall women with goddess-like appearances, one devilishly charming like a cunning devil and adorned in a black sleeveless dress, while the other was icily aloof like a regal celestial and wearing white robes that showcased her perfect figure, appeared beside the house leader throne.

Their appearance suddenly dazzled the entire thief’s house hall. Even the house members were shocked, especially when they saw the silver-haired woman. The house members had already met Eva before, but it was their first time meeting Alina after her transformation.

Furthermore, Alina was as beautiful as Eva, the most beautiful woman they had ever seen, and even Freya was somewhat inferior to Eva despite her bewitching witch-like traits.

However, while they were looking at Alina, the latter was doing the same with a hint of hostility.

Although Ace had told them that he was going to summon them into the thief’s house after he confirmed with the system that they both could still avoid heavenly tribulation within the space of the thief’s house, for Alina, it was more important to mark her territory.

Even though she met with the three ladies of the thief’s house, she clearly didn’t have any good feelings toward other women close to Ace. Just Eva was enough to give her a huge headache, and she had no choice but to grit her teeth and accept her, but it was a completely different story when it came to other women.

Especially when she could tell that those three were far from unattractive, her woman’s intuition was on full alert.

Eva, on the other hand, was much calmer, and she even secretly gloated at Alina’s reaction, ‘Hmph, now you know how I felt! And you didn’t even know the huge surprise waiting for you in the face of that vixen demon!’

Eva’s jolly expression instantly went cold when she thought about how Ace had discussed with her about accepting Noa’s feelings. Her expression went extremely gloomy as she glared at the cold ascension sitting closest to Ace.

Even though she had a rather amiable ‘talk’ with the house members, she was still feeling uncomfortable and could only suppress her jealousy and dark urges.

Ace suddenly felt the atmosphere around the ladies wasn’t right. He could now clearly sense Alina’s icy aura. While Eva was hiding it well, it was a different story when it came to Ace. After all, both of them were connected with the ritual.

“Ahem, everyone, you all should know about Eva and have already met her. You have also met with Alina in the past, especially you, Winter. But let me introduce her again. This is Alina, my fiancé.” Ace felt somewhat uncomfortable calling Alina his wife, so he called her fiancé since their relationship wasn’t at that point yet or had developed furiously like his relationship with Eva. fгeewebnovёl.com

After all, Alina had her parents, and he knew that, as a former princess, she valued tradition, so he wanted to do it the correct way, but he knew it was inevitable.

Furthermore, his introduction caused Alina’s eyes to tremble as her attention instantly shifted to him, with a faint red hue on her cheeks. Her heart fluttered and beat wildly with ecstasy when he introduced her as his ‘fiancé’, and she felt like all the grievances vanished, leaving her with a sweet feeling in her heart. While Ace felt a burden had left his chest and a warning gaze at him, before he could enjoy that feeling and relief, a chill ran down his spine when he sensed faint icy glares on him from all over the place, especially from Eva, who had an icy smile on her face that was like a sweet yet deadly poison.

‘What is she so worked up about? I only call her ‘fiancé’ not ‘wife,’ and what’s with the others?’ Cold sweat broke out on Ace’s forehead. He knew he had just stepped on a land mine, but he was also confused.

Nonetheless, as a professional liar and thief, he pretends as if he didn’t notice anything and quickly the topic. The main reason he brought Eva and Alina here is that he wants to give them one last chance to consider joining the ranks of Thief House again while he also owed the House Members the truth, especially after he encountered Heaven’s Advocate!

“Please take a seat, you two. I need to tell you something extremely vital: It’s about my inheritance and the reason for choosing the path of a thief. Also, I want you two to consider it one last time if you really want to join the thief house after this since the spots are now available.” Ace solemnly stated while looking at Eva and Alina.

Eva and Alina were startled when they felt Ace’s grave and solemn mood. They knew it had to be something extremely serious for Ace to give off such an aura. Furthermore, their eyes shimmered with anticipation when they heard there were finally open spots in the Thief House. They had been waiting for this for a long time, especially Eva!

But in the end, they put their initial thoughts on hold and decided to hear out Ace while their determination to join the thief’s house hadn’t changed at all. If anything, they were even more determined to join it before Ace found other vixens to trick! However, something completely unexpected happened when Alina was about to walk on the left side of the chair closest to Ace. Eva boldly walked in front of the throne, and under everyone’s startled looks, she directly sat on Ace’s lap and wrapped her hands around his neck, showing blunt intimation.

Even Ace was shocked by the devil’s bold move. His heart raced as he felt her soft body in his embrace and smelt her rose-like scent, which made him infatuated for a moment. He thought about how it had been quite some time since they had been alone.

Eva’s devilish smile grew into a victorious one when she sensed Ace’s mood and felt her insecurely slipping away. But his mind quickly snapped out of his carnal thoughts when he sensed a murderous intent suddenly locked in his direction, and an infuriated voice through gritted teeth shouted, “What the hell are you doing!?”

Before he knew it, Alina was already standing in front of his throne, looking at Eva murderously. Her face was red, and she was gritting her teeth, especially when she saw Eva’s mocking smile.

“What are you talking about? I’m just sitting with my husband. Miss ‘Fiancé’ should know better than to ask. Now, if you take your ‘seat’ so my darling can get to the topic,” Eva wasn’t intimated at all. In fact, she was enjoying this to the fullest as her frustration about Ace introducing Alina as his fiancé was completely gone.

Alina almost went berserk when she heard Eva’s shameless words. She wanted to release her aura, but to her shock, she couldn’t gain access to her cultivation or Qi at all in this space; it was completely suppressed.

But how could she let that shameless woman do as she pleased?

“Enough of this farce!”

Before things could escalate further, Ace’s cold voice rang like a thunderclap, as he finally couldn’t take it anymore, especially when these two were taking things for granted. Moreover, he knew if he didn’t establish his authority in times like this, who would bother to take him seriously? Although he normally just acted like a bystander and let them duke it out with each other, he only intervened when he knew things would be distressing. Now wasn’t the time for him to act like a bystander and timed.

Eva, Alina, and the house members were shocked when they suddenly sensed Ace’s appalling aura enveloping the entire thief’s house hall, and as if sensing his mood, the entire hall lights started to dim down, and the throne Ace was sitting on starting to seem like it had grown and the owl sculpture on its head, its eyes started to glow dangerously.

“Take your seats.” Ace glanced at Eva impassively yet irrefutably before looking at Alina in the same way. His emotionless eyes made both women tremble. They had never seen him like that before, and they knew they had completely infuriated him.

Eva’s expression paled as she wanted to apologize, but Ace’s aura was simply too strange and filled with authority. She even felt her bloodline was being suppressed by him and couldn’t speak against his order.

Ace’s eyes softened when he saw Eva’s panicked expression. He could tell she would hurt if he continued. He sighed in resignation, and suddenly, the icy cold atmosphere in the hall vanished, and everything turned back to normal as if it were only an illusion.

But Ace knew it wasn’t, as he clearly sensed reasoning with the thief’s house at that moment; it was like the thief’s house was reacting to his disposition. Ace then gently said to Eva, “Hear me out first, alright? It’s very important! Afterward, you both can ‘bond’ with each other as much as you want!”
