Eternal Thief-Chapter 1305: Bigger Fists! (1)

At this moment, Ace lay on the broken floor; his entire clothes were tattered, his hair disheveled, his body was filled with bruises and bloody scratches, and his face was swallowed like a pig.

Zaria, on the other hand, was now standing behind the counter with her long legs crossed while she inhaled on her tobacco pile, and her charming eyes were filled with satisfaction; it was as if nothing had happened.

Leah was sitting beside her as she looked between Ace and then her sister and blinked, "Big sis, I think you broke Badass Ace."

"He deserved it for taking liberties with this great lady! Hmph!" Zaria scoffed with a hint of anger, "And he’s no longer Badass Ace; from now on, he’s Scoundrel Ace!"

"Oh." Leah blinked and said with a hint of disappointment, "But I liked Badass Ace better!"

Zaria glanced at Leah, and her expression became gentle. She gently ruffled her hair, "Little brat, you’re becoming more rebellious, huh?"

Leah giggled as she straightened her hair and cutely pouted, "No! Leah’s a good girl!"

Zaria chuckled and was about to retort when suddenly, "H-hahahaha…" Ace laughter suddenly rang at this moment, drawing the sisters’ attention.

Zaria narrowed her eyes dangerously and coldly said, "It seemed you still have the strength to laugh. Was I holding back too much?"

Ace finally moved as he stood up. A painful groan escaped his mouth, but his eyes were deadly cold as he started to circle primordial Qi. His injuries began to heal visibly, and so did his clothes.

Although Zaria had beat black and blue, she didn’t use any spirit Qi nor hit any of his vital, so he could heal in a weak to two. But only if his spirit Qi were normal, with his primordial Qi, he recovered at breakneck pace, startling even Zaria.

But still, Ace was fed up since it was his first time getting beaten up so badly by something, and despite having a resilient body, it still hurt like hell.

Furthermore, he had had enough of this charade, and all his misgivings were gone. If he was hesitant about it before, now he didn’t have any qualms, nor did he want to escape anymore.

By the time Ace stood up, he was completely healed, and his hair was disheveled, which he brushed off with his hand, revealing his face, which was now filled with gloominess and…provocation as he glared at Zaria.

Zaria felt her heart raced under Ace’s glare for some reason, and she felt unease, even shocking her. There was something in Ace’s eyes that was far more profound and terrifying, nothing like his usually easygoing and submissive attitude.

But that made Zaria even more furious, and her suppressed anger started to boil again since Ace had made her feel that way. She was an extremely arrogant and proud woman who wasn’t afraid of anyone.

Furthermore, she had a profound dislike towards men because of her past, and that’s also reflected in her personality. If not for Leah and his influence on her, she wouldn’t allow Ace to stay here.

But Ace had dared to tease her and humiliate her in front of Falcon, who was the last person she wanted to appear weak in front of, and what made her even more furious was Ace didn’t seem to fear her at all, even after she taught him a painful lesson.

As for simply kicking him out, if Ace hadn’t pulled that stunt, she might’ve had already done it but since he wanted to escape, she was now even more inclined towards no letting him go, this was a matter of her ego.

However, seeing Ace’s uncanny recovery ability and how he was looking at her, she felt uneasy and somewhat afraid, and she hated it. After all, how could she, who was far stronger than Ace, feel frightened of him?

Ace didn’t bother replying to Zaria and looked at Leah before he smiled and said, "Leah, do me a favor, and please go back to your room. I have something to discuss with your sister. Once we are done, I promise to give you spirit coins."

Leah’s eyes widened, and she was going to agree but suddenly stopped and looked at Zaria, who had a very dark expression on her face at that moment.

Ace knew Leah wouldn’t agree unless Zaria told her to, and what he was about to do, he didn’t want Leah present.

So, he coldly looked at Zaria and said, "I suggest you send her away if you don’t want to put her through any suffering."

Killing intent flashed past Zaria’s eyes as she might be able to endure Ace’s making a move against her but not her sister. However, the look in Ace’s eyes really gave her a bad feeling, and despite her wanting to retaliate, her instincts were telling her otherwise. Ace seemed very dangerous at this moment, and his uncanny abilities and presence made her even more hesitant.

Although she was convinced that Ace wasn’t hiding his power and couldn’t do anything, his change in attitude still irked her for some reason.

She looked at Leah and said, "Go and play with your coins."

Leah couldn’t help but feel something was wrong, but she believed that her sister was the strongest and Ace wouldn’t do anything bad to her or her sister, so she quickly nodded before looking at Ace with anticipation.

"I want 1000 coins and extra shiny ones!"

"Deal." Ace agreed without hesitation.

Cheering happily, she skipped back to her room, leaving Ace and Zaria alone.

"Now what?" Zaria suddenly said in a cold, confident tone, "Don’t tell me you’re going to attack me. You can try, but let me tell you in advance: this time, I will break your bones without holding back. And if you want to plead for yourself, don’t bother; I won’t let you go even if you are the son of a King!"

Ace didn’t flinch under her malicious glare, and instead, he chuckled, "You seemed overly confident that I can’t do anything to you?"

"Unless you are a King, which you’re not, or have a king artifact, which I’m even more sure you haven’t, and even you have with your weak cultivation base, you won’t be able to activate one." Zaria replied matter-of-factly, "So, yes, I’m confident that you can’t do anything. In this world, strength is everything; the bigger your fist, the bigger your voice. At the end of the day, I can decide whether you live or die on wimp because my fists are bigger than yours!"

Ace didn’t refute her statement, but his smile widened, "I admit, and it’s also true you’re far more powerful than me. So, how about a bet: if you win, I will be a slave for life, but if you lose, you’ll let me go. We can even sign a law contract if you want. Oh, and don’t worry, I’m not going to play any tricks. This bet will be all about strength, your strength versus mine. Do you dare, O’ mighty ’bigger fist’?"
