Eternal Thief

Chapter 1092 Secret Hidden Within (5)

Owen glanced murderously at the Sages on the other side of the space tear, and some of the radiance silhouettes trembled slightly. He snorted in disdain and looked towards his wife, releasing her brilliance and having a sigh of relief.

The next moment, he vanished and appeared right beside her and apologetically said, "Forgive me for not listening to you; I shouldn't have left you alone."

"Tsk, you always said the same thing and then go again and repeat the same mistake." Stella scoffed with a disdainful glare, but the faint smile on her lips was filled with satisfaction.

"Cooo…" A cheerful sound suddenly rang as the baby Ace dandled his tiny hands towards Owen with a big smile on his face as if asking him to hold him.

Owen felt his heart melt seeing his baby boy's innocent smile, "Dad will take you flying after dealing with these 'guests,'" he promised Ace before he looked at the silent Sages and then his own Father. His eyes were deadly cold.

"Why?" He uttered a single word filled with coldness and absolute disappointment.

"I…" Leonard wanted to explain, but no words came out of his mouth. He was too ashamed under his son's harsh gaze.

"Here, you'll understand after this!" Stella coldly stated before a starry stream suddenly shot out from her eye and directly entered Owen's head. He didn't resist, as he knew Stella was sharing her memories with him.

Within an instant, Owen understood what had happened, and his expression turned absolutely livid!

"Good! Good! You all really did well!" He was literally shaking with anger.

"Calm down, Owen. We have no intention of harming your son. It's just a safety precaution. Now that your wife is also a Sage, can you both live in the alliance? You shouldn't have any misgivings about joining the alliance now as well." The amiable voice suddenly rang from the other side.

"Indeed, there's no need to blow this matter out of proportion. We admit our approach was a little bit cynical, but our intentions were not to harm anyone. In fact, we are only doing it to make sure that no harm comes to House White or the??? Heaven." A woman's impassive voice rang.

"Like hell, I'll believe you guys!" Owen sneered with derision, "Do you think I'm a fool to live in that place where I can't even decide my own life and death and even take my wife and son down with me? Do you really think I'm so gullible like my old man over there?"

Leonard's expression paled when Owen pointed towards him, but he didn't retort as he knew Owen didn't speak any lies.

Owen couldn't help but sigh in disappointment, seeing Leonard's reaction, "Old man, just what the hell happened to you? I always believed that the once fearless White Lion was always alive somewhere in there, but after what you just tried to pull, it is even lower for the current you!

"The White Lion, I remember, would rather lay his life for his family than sacrifice one of his own! So, what if some shit show prophesized our clan's destruction? So, what if it would be in the hands of my son? Aren't you doing the same thing right now by your own hands by becoming their puppets?

"Didn't you find it ironic that from the same person our heritage was born, that same person also prophesized our doom and by whom, an innocent child? Are you out of your damn senile mind, you damn old fool?!

"Aren't you just realizing the prophecy by making your grandson hate you and our clan? Look at him and tell me if you see a future doom of entire Heaven.

"Although I don't believe this nonsense, I can promise you all that if you continue to have such a mindset and do this today, I don't know if my son will be the doom of you all, but I can damn assure you that I'll be the doom of your lofty lineages today!" Owen declared word by word in an overbearing tone as his aura rose like an unstoppable storm.

Leonard trembled after hearing his Son's words and couldn't help but look at his grandson, who was so innocent and filled with curiosity, and feel massive guilt weighing down his heart.

'Yes… aren't I doing the same? Why did I become like this? Why did I start to believe the sages? Why the hell did I start relying on others to control my house?!' It was like a cage had been broken, and something within was freed after a very, very long time.

An unexpected change began to take place within Leonard, which they did not notice because they were looking at the husband-and-wife pair. At some point, both James and Ethel vanished from Leonard's side.

Ace couldn't help but feel emotional after listening to his father's speech and how he stood up in front of his wife and child as an unbreakable shield.

However, at this moment, Ace felt his heart suddenly gripped by something, and his entire being shuddered. He looked towards his baby self in his mother's embrace, who was cooing in dissatisfaction after Owen refused to hold him.

Then, right at this moment, Ace witnessed something that sent shivers to his very bones, like it was a trauma that he had already experienced, and it was slowly surfacing again. He knew this was the very moment where all of this started!

A tiny tear in space suddenly opened up right above the baby's head; despite both Owen's and Stella's protection, the space was still ripped open, despite only a tiny bit; it made both Stella's and Owen's expressions change.

However, whoever was behind this was extremely fast and knew exactly what needed to be done and how much time it had. Ace watched this in slow motion while trembling fearfully.

From that tiny space cracked, a sharp fingernail shimmering with a devilish crimson rune suddenly surfaced and stabbed into the baby's head!

By the time Stella reacted, she had used her full power to protect Ace and had teleported away. But alas, a loud cackling filled with eerie derision rang in the entire space.

"Kekekekeke… thank you, Sages, for giving me such a delightful chance to bury this era's talent! I considered this service a favor to you all!"

Ace felt icy cold at this moment, as the entire scene suddenly turned black, and he only heard faint furious voices of his Father and Mother, even his Grandfather seemed to be roaring out something in panicked.

But he couldn't understand any of it. He only felt cold creeping all over his body, and the next moment, he felt like tiny ants crawling all over his body and then biting into his bones.

Pain… so much inhumane pain, fear, anxiety... it was too much; he felt like he could die at any moment!

But alas, deep down, Ace knew this was just the beginning of something that he had long forgotten, and he finally understood the reason why his mind had sealed these
