Ace with Zander family's members and guards were standing in the very front of the sizeable crowd of 4900+ passengers in the colosseum extensive area where the auction was held yesterday.

In the middle range of the crowd, there was standing a young man with average looks and a short built. He wore a simple royal blue. robe. This youngster was Jason in his new disguise! 

"Do you sense him?" Jason transmitted grimly. His mood was sullen to the extreme. 

"Sigh… No, I seem he didn't come in the end." The old voice sighed helplessly. 

"That bastard manage to open my storage ring and I nearly got caught because of the backlash!" Jason was extremely resentful and enraged at this moment. "You still think he is a normal person? I think he has someone like you guiding him as well." 

"There is a very high possibility, even I can't remove a Qi mark without regaining my complete strength. But there is also a possibility that he had some kind of ancient treasure on him. I know at least two that were lost in my Era." The old voice was filled with uncertainty. 

"Nevertheless, we should stay away from that boy until you reached Qi River Core Realm. So, what if he has the map? No one can decipher it but me! 

"We'll get it back. Just think of it as you give it to someone for safekeeping. It is also a good thing your superiors also got suspicious and now the map is gone, you don't have to be on edge all the time. 

"It is easier to get it back from that brat rather than your organization!" The old voice sounded.

Jason takes a deep breath. "You have a point. My cultivation is progressing quickly with senior's cultivation technique, and it won't be long before I'll get that map back and pay that bastard for this strange tattoo!"

Jason hatefully looked at his left hand that he covered with a glove. He was naturally talking about Ace's thief symbol! 

After Jason leave that place, he found his peculiar bird mark on his ring finger. He was bewildered and try to remove it.

But he soon found out it was impossible! 

Jason instantly connected it with that hateful 'friend' of his and decided to just peel off the skin with that mark. 

He peels off the skin with the bird mark. As for the pain, it was nothing for him after what he's been through. 

However, to Jason and that old voice astonishment; after the new skin growth that bird mark came back! 

Jason didn't accept this and peel his skin again, but the same result happened! He nearly went berserk. 

If not for the old voice ensuring him it was not harmful and there was no Qi or Soul fluctuation on it, Jason was going to cut off his finger in his frenzy. 

Because if Jason cut off his finger, he didn't have any means to regrow it, and that organization would consider him a cripple and kill him for losing a single finger.

But even that old voice can't explain the reason for this bird mark and in the end, guess it was some kind of secret technique as to what it was for. He didn't know the answer. 

That's why it gravely warned Jason to stay away from that boy for the time being and inside, it was happy that they didn't encounter that boy for real again. 

Even if he found Ace in his sizeable crowd, he was not planning on telling Jason from the start because he was afraid for his safety! 

At this moment, Aden enter the stage and the crowd fell into silence. 

"My dearest apologies for not being there to welcome you." Aden sighed regretfully as if he was sorry.

"But worry not, I'll be going personally to the Royal Capital with all of you. Since I have some business there as well." Aden announced this startling news with a gentle smile.

Everyone exclaims hearing his unexpected news and Ace narrowed his eyes. 

'Hehe, he's afraid.' Ace sense Aden's fear instantly from his soul fluctuations. 'It seems my plan worked!'

On the side of the stage stand Earl Patrick himself and after hearing Aden's announcement, he scoffed disdainfully, "Coward." 

Earl Patrick knew very well why this guy was going to the capital so suddenly because he was escaping! 

After Earl Patrick told very thing as Victor describe to Aden and show him those two storage rings, Aden didn't dare to accept after seeing what was inside! 

Aden denied with a smiling ashen face as beads of sweat were shining on his forehead. The poor guy was scared silly after seeing the content of those rings! 

Aden was a very cautious person, and that's why he thought; he has offended someone powerful who wasn't even afraid of his position as a beast-master. And after hearing the threat, he deemed that youth was coming for him. 

He has a terrible feeling about Ace from the very start but he still ends up shooting the arrow and now the other person knows just who pulled the string and wasn't even afraid of telling him! 

That's why Aden abruptly went to the kingdom's level branch of Beast Calling Organization and seek help from his brother, who was also a vice beast-master of that branch! 

The difference between a county's, and capital level branch was like day and night. Even if someone was not afraid of low-level members like him, but a capital-level branch is a whole other case. 

Beast Tamer was easy to nurture. That's why the organization didn't care about the likes of Aden very much if they can get enough compensation. Even that is the case if the other party had an influential position in an empire! 

Aden can offend anyone as long as they were in the scope of middle-lands and by the behavior of that brat, he was not from here. 

At least that is what he concluded after seeing the 100 high-level Qi stones in those storage rings!

Aden can't find information about them here and the high-level Qi stones were not this common even in the number one capital of lands of kingdoms! 

That's why he didn't show up outside and stayed inside the protection of this branch's formation!
