Conning Winter!

"How do you manage to ignore my soul brand?" 

Ace's blood ran cold as he came out of his stealth and appeared in front of Winter in Feng's disguise. She was looking at him with her curious yet frightening eyes.

'So, she could trace me with that damn soul brand?! Why I didn't think of it!' 

It was his first time getting intercepted while escaping, all because of something he didn't even know was possible.

He never thought the soul brand technique could be this dangerous, and now he was facing a wily fox who had just pulled the wool over the demons. 

However, he knew if he didn't come up with anything good, he might suffer this time. 

He pretended to be elated and then played dumb. "Mistress, I never received your command in that prison. But they suddenly opened, and I had no choice but to escape with the others. I did just as you ordered me to. They didn't suspect me."
