Glen looked at still silently standing. Ace quickly continued and answered the second part of the question, "We naturally didn't trust Jonathan's words right away, but then my master and even Prime One confirmed them, and he was not lying about any of it.
"That's why to break the seal at the lower lands and found something important had been missing, and they knew it was taken by that thief as well. It was also at that time that the Ice Sword Fairy came searching for her so-called brother, and my master found her, and then it was revealed that her brother was none other than Ace White, the elusive thief, Sky Stealer!
"What happened next is known to the public. But we didn't reveal anything about his connection with the White Crown. It was my master's decision since we didn't want to alert them.
"You see, the White Crown always has been a strange bunch. They only appeared a few times in the history of this world. According to our master, the White Crown was established by the enemy of every being.
"He was once born as the most powerful human and then turned his back on the humans and even killed them for his own gain until the Five Humane Sages stood against him and then killed him with the help of the top three races, his name was the Evil Spawn, Clavus!"
Ace's eyes narrowed at this moment, "Calvus? The white crown was established by Humane Sage Calvus?"
He wasn't ignorant about this name since Empty Dream had told him about the savior of humanity. But now, Glen was portraying him as the enemy of everyone, and now there were five more humane sages in the mix.
But when he thought about how Empty Dream was betrayed by his own student, Dream Shatter, and the continent was only under the control of the signal sect of his clan until it was divided, and then that one sect split into five. He didn't find it strange anymore if Dream Shatter and his cohort, who had been behind the assassination of the Empty Dream, had to get rid of any and all the traces that could lead back to the truth.
However, Calvus's connection to the White Crown was something unexpected, and this didn't make any sense as well.
"What humane sage? He's an Evil Spawn! The White Crown was an evil organization that had always been doing his dirty work for him. But after he was killed, they went under and seldom made appearances in the world because they were afraid of my master and Prime One.
"But my master has always been magnanimous, and he told us not to care much about them as long as they didn't interfere in our business and let them live despite their heinous crimes against humanity and being the follower of Evil Spawn.
"However, after we made their connection with the elusive thief, my Master couldn't sit still, and he launched an investigation with the Prime One. They finally found clues on their rathole and then instantly acted and arranged a raid with the devils and demons. The beasts were just courting their own death by coming here with the elves and ended up becoming pawns under my master.
"This is all I know about the White Crown. The information about their members or ranking only my master or Prime One should know. They keep this important information to themselves or share it with only important figures of the devil and demon races." Glen was finally done explaining about the White Crown and how they were connected with all this.
However, Ace wasn't anywhere near satisfied with this information because, in his ear, this all sounded like nothing but an excuse for the weak who didn't have the guts to speak up to the strong.
But one thing became quite clear, the Dream Shatter and the unknown Prime One were manipulating the human race, and now they seemed to be manipulating the other races to get rid of the hidden danger named White Crown.
Furthermore, they also wanted to probably find his kin, his parents if they were still alive or some other relative to use them to draw him out if Alina didn't work. They were going after two birds with one stone, and their final prize was Ace himself!
"So, they found their hideout and now making their way toward them as we speak, is that it?" Ace coldly questioned.
Glen nodded, "Indeed. My Eldest Senior Brother confirmed this afternoon himself."
"How long would this venture last?"
"This… I can't be too sure since the details were only kept between the people like my Eldest Senior Brother or the commanders of the allied forces. But they are planning on returning before the impending execution, that's for sure." Glen stated with uncertainty, and he didn't seem to be telling any lies.
But Ace still wasn't done as he had so many more questions now, and he continued with his interrogation, which lasted for another hour or so. The two women were silently listening on the side and observing from the sidelines since they didn't want to interfere, not after knowing the gravity of this matter.
Not only Ace's childhood step-sister was involved in this, but probably his entire blood family was involved, and this matter was getting complicated. However, they noticed that Ace wasn't much bothered by the White Crown, not after his initial reaction. He was mostly asking questions about how to reach Alina and safe ways and such.
After Ace was done, he let loose a sigh and looked toward Freya, which made the latter flinch slightly. He said, "I want you to call Winter and tell her everything we just learned about Alina's whereabouts. Then command your evil seeds and have them evacuate everyone about a hundred miles away from the archipelago.
"Also, take our Jessie and do as I'm going to tell you to…" Ace then gave a lengthy instruction to Freya, which made both women shocked.
"W-what are you planning to do exactly?" Noa couldn't help but ask with trepidation because one of the instructions he gave them made both feel amiss.
Ace coolly stated at this moment, "If I want everyone to leave this place and achieve the effect I want to, then this archipelago has to be turned into a land of death. While doing so, I also want to install some fear in those guys' minds."contemporary romance
A ghastly glint flashed past Ace's eyes as he stated, "So, I guess I'm going to break through!"
