Inside a carriage,
Thomas and Ace were heading toward the royal demon council, which wasn't far from the ocean demon duke estate.
"So, brother Feng, tell me, what makes you trust me so much that you revealed your half sword intent without any worry?" Thomas suddenly asked. He had wanted to ask this question from the moment Ace revealed his sword intent.
Ace sighed. Things were moving, too fast. They were just inside Thomas's room a few moments ago, and now they were going toward the royal demon council. Things were moving too… smoothly from Ace's perspective.
Although he showed his sword intent for this exact change, he never thought old man Maddux would decide to trust him without asking for an oath contract.
Thomas also acted friendly toward him right now, and he could tell he was sincere this time around, and this made Ace feel somewhat guilty when he thought he was taking advantage of someone's sincerity and friendship.
