Eternal Thief-Chapter 1358 Mission Routes! (2)

Ace looked at Eva with a hint of surprise since he wasn't expecting her to be the one to oppose the ruling-out going against the Abyssal Kings!

But still, Eva was the only one who had information on the Evernight Council, and she was also the pioneer of the Abyss of the Wandering Souls and Abyss Mission Series.

"Alright, let's hear what you have to say." Ace gave her a nod.

Receiving Ace's permission, Eva glanced over the house members before her eyes stopped on Freya, and an ambiguous smile appeared as she said, "I guess I'm not the only one who thinks we shouldn't rule out the Abyss Route, right Evil Thief?"

A hint of subtle surprise shimmered in Freya's eyes before her eyes turned like a crescent moon as she agreed with Eva, "Indeed. At least not until we heard all the information about the Evernight Council. Furthermore, as mentioned in the rules and regulations of the Abyss Mission Series, the 'time' of the mission will depend on the difficulty of the mission route that the Leader will choose.

"Another point that was explicitly mentioned was that the Abyss Mission is a 'series of missions,' not a single mission, and the Leader just told us this Abyss Mission Series will have three total missions after we select the difficulty route.

"So, I don't think we'll be directly pit against an Ascension or Abyssal King from the get-go. Please don't forget these missions are about stealing, not killing or raging war on the Abyssal Kings.

"Then there are the house functions. Although no explicit details were mentioned, we shouldn't overlook the House Teleportation Hall. It might be something that can allow us all to teleport back to the Thief's House whenever we wanted and then go back without needing to bother the Leader to summon us with House Meetings, not to mention House Meetings have a time limit and cooldown.

"That's why I think we shouldn't rule out the Abyss route just yet because if we get a large amount of preparation time, not to mention that Miss Eva needs to prepare for each mission, we might even be able to steal from an Ascension King.

"Especially if the Leader became a Lord or even Grand Lord by the time we start the final mission. It wasn't like the Leader hadn't done something this ridiculous before, for example, going against an Ascension Guardian as an Ascension Warrior. I have absolute confidence he can pull something like this again!" Freya confidently declared while she glanced towards Eva, who was still smiling as if delighted with Freya's performance.

Although Freya may seem unbothered on the outside, she felt extremely disgruntled inwardly.

'She just casually used me to make a point as if she knew exactly how I think…tsk, tsk, she's really an Architect. That genre wasn't popped out just because of her bloodline.

'The most infuriating thing is, she's absolutely loyal to the Leader without any hint of her own ambition, and now that she's showing her fangs, Leader will soon realize that she's not just a house flower, or he might've already known…'

Eva had no idea what Freya was thinking, but even if she knew, she would've snickered in disdain since, for Eva, the Thief House wasn't as important to her as Ace.

Since these women were literally bound to him by life and death, she had long accepted them and even encouraged him to make them his lovers so they could be loyal to him while finding their own happiness in him.

After all, as a woman in love, Eva knew if these women one day fell in love with someone else, they'd lose their will to continue as members of Thief House, and Ace wasn't decisive enough to deal with them and might even let them go which will directly lessen the Thief House power as whole.

That's why Eva had her own plans for everyone, and the top person on this list was none other than…

"What do you think, Faceless Thief Winter?" Eva then suddenly shifted her focus to Winter, who was silently observing everything.

In fact, her presence was the least in the entire Thief House, and unless someone provoked her or she found something dissatisfying and was cutthroat most of the time, she would never participate much.

Eve paid Winter the most attention, for she found Winter to be just like her old self. Winter was surprised by Eva suddenly involving her in this despite her early intent and felt something was wrong with Eva.

However, she wasn't afraid to give one since she didn't speak outside the boundaries, and Eva only asked for her opinion.

She spoke curtly, "Just as Freya said, we shouldn't jump to conclusions so quickly. Let Eva also clarify the structure of the Evernight Council before we can move on to the decision.

"Furthermore, don't forget that the easier the route we choose, the fewer members can participate in this Abyss Mission Series. Since we all know about the benefits of participating in these missions, I think the Leader should also consider how many of us will be willing to give up on such an advantage unless some of us are afraid or don't want to become powerful quickly.

"Even Eva, who had her entire status on the line, is not in favor of ruling out the Abyss route right off the bat because she knew she would get the biggest piece of cake of us all. Dangers and opportunities go hand in hand; as thieves, the bigger the danger, the more profitable it is for us!" Winter stated as the darkness enshrouded her hooded face, which seemed to grow deeper and more profound. Eva's smile widened after Winter's speech. Then she glanced at Alina, who was looking at her with a suspicious glare, while Zaria was frowning since she didn't know how these missions worked precisely and couldn't refute Freya or Winter's statement. fгeewebnovёl.com

Ace also went silent since Freya and Winter had made excellent points. He knew better than anyone how the time limits could affect the missions, and if they got ample time, they might be pulled off a theft against an Abyssal King, and this was an opportunity no one would want to miss out.

However, Ace still thought it was too dangerous because not only were rewards at stake,, but Eva's entire progress status was also at stake.

However, since Eva was the one who did not back down, Ace could only remain silent and observe. He could tell she wanted to prove something by involving Freya and Winter. Ace knew Eva too well to miss out on this. At this moment, Eva finally spoke, "Just as fellow members Winter and Freya stated, before knowing the structure of the Evernight Council, we shouldn't jump to conclusions and miss out on important house functions that might save our lives one day.

"So, please, everyone, I want you all to listen to me first before making up your mind. The Evernight Council is an organization formed by the three ruling races of the Abyss of Wandering Souls: the Abyssal Fiend Race, the Abyssal Demon Race, and the Abyssal Devil Race!"
