Noa was about to do her task when Ace asked her ambiguously, "Where is his storage ring?"
He didn't get the theft notification at all this time, while he gets the killing notifications, which means Noa never took those dead bandits or Buck's storage rings. This was the only thing unacceptable for Ace.
Noa didn't know what Ace was getting at, but she still replied, "No, I never took my targets' belonging whenever I kill them."
Ace pursed his lips and asked, "Then what about him?"
"He's a slave, and it's beneath me to take a slave belonging!" Noa replied with no pause.
Noa was telling the truth. All her years of working under Warden Cane, she never took the belonging of her targets even if they were filthy rich because her tribe believe every dead person left their resentment and regrets in their belonging, and they become cursed.
