"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the last item for the eighth-day auction… behold!"
Lilly announced with a radiant smile before the platform rose and when everyone saw was on it, they were astonished because it was a golden cage with a small beast inside!
She quickly introduces, "This is an Amber Light Bear's cub. A very rare Light Element species with Soul Realm growth potential and extremely powerful physique. This is an excellent battle mount and meat shield. The startling bid is 1 Million Peak-Grade-2 Qi stones, and every bid minimum raise limit is 1,000 Qi stones. The bid is open!"
Ace looked at the small bear cub with little interest since he had seen many beasts like this sold in these past few days and he knew they were all put on the auction by the Demon Tamer Tribe.
Furthermore, he already had a beast egg of a creature that wasn't from the first heaven, and it would hatch in a little over two years, so these beasts would naturally not enter his eyes.
Right now, his entire focus was on Paul's first task, and he knew if he vanished without completing it, he might have to suffer repercussions from the Imperial Princess Leona.
Moreover, Paul's mission just happened to be matched with his second purpose, which was optional and depended on the situation!
But after learning there was a Grand Demon Duke laying in wait, he started to hesitate and start considering his option.
Although he now knew how to cross the forbidden plains, he didn't want to discard the connection with Leona yet because he could use her to his own advantage.
He wasn't Paul who would do everything without asking anything in return, but Leona didn't know this, and it was something worth considering.
Especially after he got the entire structure of the royal zone and just how astute Leona was and her connections. Paul never even thought of using them to look noble in his 'lover's' eyes, but Ace didn't care about any feeling, and it was a tremendous boon for him.
That was why he didn't discard any memory of Paul because he wanted to fool that astute demoness. He had to mirror Paul's personality perfectly and wait patiently before winning it all!
Soon the bidding for the Amber Light Bear closed at 22.8 Million, and it also marked the end of the eighth day of the Life Demon Auction.
Thereupon, Ace suddenly felt something before his lips curled up, and a communication cube appeared in his hand, which was glowing brightly.
'Here we go.' Ace quickly changed his appearance to Paul to mask his voice and activate the cube.
A melodious voice sounded thereafter. "Do you get it?"
"What do you think?" Ace's impassively said in Paul's voice.
"Heh, silly me, this wasn't even a challenge for you. Just hold on to it for me." Leona giggled before she changed the topic. "What about our true purpose?"
Paul said with a hint of arrogance, "I can roam this place freely with my ability, so it wasn't hard to kill one of these thralls and take over their place. I'm ready and now waiting on you."
"Good. We had to act before the ninth-day auction started, and I have already arranged everything for you. You just need to reach…" Leona describes her plan quickly, "… and then you'll leave this place as quickly as possible."
Ace's eyes shone with astonishment because this plan was foolproof, and he wondered if this demoness was also a thief in disguise.
"Alright, this should be a piece of cake. But are you sure the Grand Demon Duke won't get alert and that thief will come? What if we took all this risk for nothing?" He pretended to be worried, which he actually was.
"As long as you used the formation I gave you, everything will be fine. The old guys here will never notice a thing. As for whether that thief comes or not, it's another question. He can't be caught by anyone else, but we or everything will be for nothing." She sounded extremely stern.
'Here she goes again…' Ace tutted inwardly.
'',
But he pretended to be the idiot Paul and assured her gently, "Don't worry, I would never let this happen. But do you have any plan for that thief after we succeeded? it is probably our only chance to capture him as well?"
Ace wanted to probe more information out of Leona, especially if she had some kind of trap ready for him, just in case.
"Heh, I indeed have a way, which is related to your successes here. We'll discuss it after the auction. Now, I have to go, or that brother of mine might suspect something." Finished saying, she cut off the connection.
Ace frowned slightly as he stowed away Paul's communication cube.
'She sounds quite confident. But she had already lost the moment she sent this idiot after me.' Ace's lips curled up and stopped thinking about this anymore.

=====
Ace's heart jumped when he saw the Rating Mission and its requirements and when he was about to fly into a frenzy, his mouth instantly shut after seeing the lavish rewards below.
Especially the reward at the 950% rating, which made his heart race instantly!
If anything, that can force him into taking a dangerous task in this world; it was the Elemental Orbs!
Furthermore, he was already at the peak of his current realm and had to start looking for an elemental orb soon. And this just happened to be the only reward that could make him throw away his chance of using Paul's identity and utilize an Imperial Princess!
"System, you magnificent conspirator. You just can't see me riding the tide, do you? And wanted me to swim in the opposite direction!" Ace tutted with a resigned expression before his eyes turned resolute. "Fine, you win! Let's just throw the entire demon race's face into the mud. Besides, I'll be long gone on the other side when they were going crazing over this side!"
Ace left Ville's room at this moment before he headed toward the lower levels.
However, this time, he didn't stop on the first level but moved deep into the first level toward the prohibited area.
Soon, he reached a specific location with a powerful demon sitting, eyes closed, in front of a gate.
The demon suddenly opened his crimson eyes, coldly looked at Ville, and said with killing intent, "What are you doing here?"
He was one of the most powerful Life Demon Guards of the Life Demon Association, and he can even block a few casual attacks of a demon king, and his status wasn't any lower than a Life Grandmaster!
However, Ace didn't panic and took out a black token with a red symbol on it and said meaningfully, "I'm here to Stroll."
The Life Demon Guard startled for a moment before his stony expression turned highly respectful. He instantly opened the door and bowed. "You have 30 minutes, my lord."
"I understand." Ville entered the dark passage.
As he walked in the passage, he saw more Life Demon Guards, but when they saw the token in Ville's hand, they pretended as if they saw nothing.
Ace couldn't help but marvel at this sight. 'She was telling the truth when she said she bought every Life Demon Guard just for the sake of this task. It's a shame I have to expose Leona now, or with her connections, I could've theft far better place than this auction!'
He lamented and ground his teeth when he thought about how the system has destroyed this opportunity with a freaking enticing mission!
Soon, he reached the end of the passage, where he spotted a charming demoness in a tight red dress, who was none other than Lilly!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
