Eternal Thief

Chapter 1091 Secret Hidden Within (4)

“Stella, we mean no harm to my descendant; we’ll return him to you safe and sound once we confirm he’s no threat to the ??? Heaven!” A gentle voice drifted from the space tear, which was extremely soothing and amiable.

This voice had a strange power presence that affected even Ace. He felt like all his negative feelings were nothing but an illusion and felt extremely peaceful.

But then, suddenly, something deep within him jolted, and his zealous expression turned back to normal. He was bewildered and became even more vigilant as he looked at those Sages.

‘With just a few words, he almost brainwashed me, who wasn’t even present at that moment! Just how ridiculously powerful they are? No wonder my mother didn’t want to hand me over to them. I might’ve really turned into a puppet without even realizing it!’ Ace felt a chill in his spine as he got to experience the tiny fragment of Sage’s capabilities.

However, despite that strange power in this Sage’s voice, Stella remained headstrong and glared at them with an unkind gaze, “Tell me this, O’ wise Sages, was the appearance of that monster an hour ago in our territory really just a coincidence? 𝔣𝖗𝔴𝖇𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔩.𝔠𝔬𝖒

“Or did you guys release it there to make sure my husband wasn’t present when you tried stealing his son? But let me tell you something that only my Husband knows, and that is…” Stella’s body suddenly began to radiate in otherworldly brilliance as her silhouette seemed to grow infinitely larger.

Witnessing this scene, Leonard, James, and Ethel were flabbergasted while the silhouettes behind the space tear trembled in astonishment like they were witnessing someone out of a fairy tale.

“A SAGE!”

“How is this possible? We weren’t alerted about this!”

“This changes everything. If we fight her in Heaven, we’ll cause huge destruction to nature and laws, and this will provoke Heaven’s Wrath!”

“She’s a lunatic, even daring to release her Sage Brilliance in Heaven!”

The sages started to make a fuss in agitation. They were clearly surprised and also apprehensive.

Even Ace was flabbergasted. He didn’t know what to feel as he looked at his mother’s brilliant radiance, which was extremely warm and gentle, giving him a completely opposite feeling from those Sages.

“You all miscalculated. I became Sage before my husband, and just like him, I’m not interested in joining your alliance, which only knows how to scheme all day long and can’t make progress because you all are trapped by your own narrow-minded, power-hungry mindset.

“Anyway, this makes me even stronger than my dear. So, I want to ask you all again, do you still fancy the Son of two Sages?” Stella spoke at this moment, and her words were laced with killing intent that changed the colorful world around her into colorless. This was the power of a Saint

‘Even I was tricked by her. I guess I need to distance myself from the alliance if I want to take that final step and become like her.’ Leonard couldn’t help but smile wryly as he looked at the world around him that had lost colors and couldn’t help but think about a famous saying, ‘When a Sage Speaks, the World Listens!’

Just as Stella’s overbearing voice trailed off and the sages were still contemplating this unexpected news of her being a Sage, a tear in the space opened not far away from Stella’s handsome, tall man with long black hair and imposing demeanor walked out.

“Did I just hear someone wants to steal my son?” His voice was like a thunderclap and filled with dense killing intent.

Leonard shook his head in frustration at the entry of this imposing man. ‘We missed our chance, and everything is about to become feverish. Although the alliance arranged the blocking formations so she wouldn’t send Owen any signal, they had miscalculated her prowess.

‘If they wanted to stop a Sage from doing something, it would’ve taken far more time, and they were in too much hurry to get Ace. Well, I guess in the end, my grandson will be protected, and I don’t have to live with such a sin and pay for it with my life to my son.

‘A son of two sages, huh? Who will dare to harm him? Even the Alliance has to think twice before they offend two sages. He’s truly blessed by fortune and the heaven…’

‘Shit! Those damn old men schemed and failed! I need to blame it all on the White Sage, or brother would skin me alive!’ James shuddered, thinking about the consequences of his involvement in this plane.

‘That bitch again interfered with our plans! They were supposed to seal him by drawing him into this trap; this was a perfect chance to get rid of Power Saint Owen since House White had to hand over that bastard no matter what.

‘But that hateful bitch again performs out of everyone’s expectation and became Sage with whose know what! Just why is Heaven so unfair to me!? Why is it always her but not me!?’ Ethel’s expression was filled with venomous jealousy as she gawked at Stella.

Stella’s frosty expression was gone, replaced by a tender smile when she saw her making a dramatic entrance. This was indeed his style, and she also felt relieved.

Despite her attitude, she knew she wasn’t a match for the Sages, and protecting Ace while trying to flee from them would be extremely dangerous. That’s why the moment Leonard barged into her room, she already sensed something amiss and quickly sent Owen a signal to return.

She had already sensed something wrong when a monster that only Owen could handle appeared, and he had to leave. So, she had already planned this just in case her fear became a reality, and like always, her instincts never let her down.

Although the atmosphere changes after Stella’s revelation and Owen’s entry, Ace is the one who doesn’t feel any joy or confidence.

Even though he was happy to see his father finally making it in time and felt his blood boil after seeing his heroic demeanor, for some reason, he felt restless, as if something awful was about to transpire!
