บท 819: The Reunion (5)

After Alina's abrupt question, Ace looked at her as the sunset was now over and darkness crept on the horizon. A strange silence took place between the two.

Alina's question was something many people should be wondering about in the entire world, and Ace never told anyone why he was walking on this path of no return when he could simply be far more than just a hateful thief. 

If Alina had asked this question fifteen years ago, Ace won't hesitate to say that it was because of her that he wanted to become a thief so he could save her life. 

But now even Ace didn't know why he was willing to do all this and be a thief. He could simply say it was because of some outer existence manipulation, such as the system, but he knew himself far better than before.
