NovelEnglish"If you keep pretending to meditate, do you believe I'll cut off your arm?"
Even though Ace didn't want to, he reluctantly opened his eyes and saw Shadow was eyeing him with a vexed stare.
Ace smiled wryly and answer, "I was just about to finalize my plan."
Shadow sneered in a crisp voice, "Hmph… lets me hear this plan as it is then!"
She didn't believe him at all, and she just wanted to show him his place, so he won't cause any trouble again. She never pinned her hopes on him in the first place.
Ace's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Shadow!
Ace quickly decided to recruit Shadow. But the question was, will she join him if he sincerely invited her and tell the truth? The answer was a big no!
Foremost, she'll probably think Ace was messing with her and secondly, Ace didn't have the power to make her submit to him, and even if he had the power, he could tell this woman was too stubborn.
She'll probably attack him the moment he told her to become his subordinate and submit to him. Besides, Ace already knew demons would never submit to any other race, they would choose death over submission to any other race.
So, Ace has to use an underhanded method to make her enter his house and once she was in, there was no escaping according to the rules!

Shadow's eyes narrowed when she heard this and rebuked coldly, "Do you think you have the strength to negotiate with me? And didn't you say yourself that you'll be my slave once I help you?"
Shadow's eyes widen a little, hearing Ace's new condition. Truth be told, it was just as Ace said, she was planning to get rid of Ace once he served his purpose or even handed him to the authorities for the reward.
But now Ace has clearly seen thought her and made things difficult.
"You shall die then!"
Shadow's figure suddenly moved, leaving a blur behind.
However, Ace didn't move from his position and remained expressionless. He didn't feel any murderous intent from Shadow at all, and he knew she was trying to intimidate him into submission.
Shadow figure suddenly appeared behind with massive killing intent, she thrust a red dagger toward Ace's head.
However, just as Ace presumed, the sharp dagger abruptly stopped after it touched his hair and the killing intent also vanished.
This fearless action of Ace aroused many thoughts in Shadow's head.
Shadow quickly decided to play along with Ace since he was too important for her and she can't risk killing him. Not before he served his purpose.
"Fine, we'll sign an oath contact on the same terms as you said. But I don't have an oath contract on me." Shadow finally returned to her previous position and coldly stated while scrutinizing Ace, as if she wanted to see through him.
But to her dismay, Ace was just too good at controlling his facial expression.
"I naturally have one with me. That is why I purposed this deal. I hope you can understand, I just don't want to die, even if it's means living like a slave." Ace sighed helplessly while lamenting.
"Fine, take out the oath contract and get it over with." Shadow disdainfully spat, as she was no longer wary of Ace because of his cowardly nature.

Ace didn't have time to check Heaven's Stealer Disassembler Gloves since he had already taken ten seconds and now Shadow was getting impatient.
With a thought, a crystalline pitch-black palm-size round token appeared in Ace's hand. It was very smooth and warm to the touch.
Shadow also eyed the exquisite black token in Ace's hand with curiosity.
But he still felt relieved when he thought no one know about this language or his plan of swindling Shadow into joining his Thief House would turn into smoke and might even backfire!
"[The person who wants to join the Thief House needed to willingly drop its blood on the recruitment token and willingly touched it with its Qi!]"
Ace impassively looked at Shadow, who was throwing a questionable gaze at him and the recruitment token in his hand!
