Ace's completely forgotten about breathing after what Cyrus just uttered. He had never regretted anything this much in his life before then taking out that dumb bird without any prior preparation.
The little one was too naïve, and when he got permission to talk in front of Eva, he instantly took her for Winter, who he had never met before.
But he only heard from Freya that she was also a member of Ace's crew to save them from any misunderstanding in the future, like what happened in the past when Freya and Noa were instantly suppressed by Cyrus.
However, who would've thought the little guy would create such a situation for Ace, which he was avoiding all this time?
Ace would've naturally explained to Eva about the Thief House but not like this, and now it was too late.
Eva's charming smile instantly froze as her eyes were affixed on the spot where Cyrus had vanished.
