Ace's gaze turned cold, and shock flashed in his eyes briefly. However, he was able to compose himself within seconds, putting on a fake smile. "Your martial arts skills are quite impressive, so that's not surprising."
He had long guessed that Joanna was someone with great power. Her identity as the gentle daughter of the Pierce family was a mere mask to please the public. Her secret identities would definitely blow everyone's minds if she were to be found out.

A mere flick of my finger would be enough to take your life. Our marriage would automatically be dissolved then, so I wouldn't have to negotiate senselessly with you."
