Ace then showed Zaria and Leah the Thief's House, including Zaria's cultivation chamber, which showed the latter when she saw the massive space filled with the mystical spirit Qi, which is extremely beneficial for her.
Although Zaria was prepared since Ace had already told her about the thief's house functions, she still couldn't hide her show. As for the little girl, her eyes twinkled like stars as she had discovered a huge secret, and she ran around the place happily.
But when they approached the other house members' cultivation chamber, Ace didn't open them because of their privacy, and he told Zaria that if she wanted to see them, she had to ask the owner.
Zaria wasn't unreasonable, so she didn't push further since she also wouldn't want anyone sneaking into her own private space while the little girl was slightly dejected. But won't last for long when Ace opens the house leader's chamber, and the sisters are shown when they see the marvelous castle and the breathtaking scenery.
Ace proudly said, "This is my private cultivation chamber!"
"Tsk, now you're humblebragging!" Zaria sneered with a hint of jealousy, "Why do you get a freaking castle?"
"Because I'm the leader!" Ace stated with a smile.
"Can I via for your position? If I can beat you up, will I be the leader?" Zaria couldn't help but ask with deep anticipation while she started cracking her knuckles as if she couldn't wait to start.
Ace raised his brows and quickly retorted, "You can try if you don't want to get punished."
"Tsk, tsk, what a bummer..." Zaria clicked her tongue and muttered in disappointment.
On the other hand, Leah was burning with curiosity, "Scoundrel Ace, is this your home?"
Ace nodded, "Yes. What do you think?"
Leah replied with twinkling eyes, "It's big and pretty! I like it! Can I come here whenever I want?" She asked with expectance.
Ace didn't reply and instead looked at Zaria meaningfully. Zaria winced her brows as she looked at her little sister and couldn't help but think about what Ace had said about not sheltering Leah so much.
She looked at Leah gently and said with a smile, "Of course, you can come here whenever you want. If this guy disagrees, I'll beat him up."
"Wow." Leah was ecstatic as she clapped her hand.
Ace shook his head when he heard Zaria's crass response and then led them to the Everlasting Endearment Palace.
The palace was naturally more magnificent than the outside, and Ace had another reason to enter here today, especially now that Zaria was on his side.
"You two can look around; I'm going to my private chamber to cultivate." Ace declared as he looked at Zaria and said, "I'll leave the protection of this place to you. You can come and go as you please. It might take me some time, but I've already changed the door outside to camouflage it like your shop."
Zaria was surprised by Ace's sudden declaration, but before she could inquire about it, Ace was already gone.
"Now this guy is ordering me around?" Zaria pursed her lips.
Leah curiously asked, "Where did Scoundrel Ace go?"
"I won't know. Must be important." Zaria curtly replied.
"Are you friends now?" Leah asked again with a hint of anticipation.
"Brat, do you want to get punished?" Zaria snappily glared at Leah.
Leah giggled instead of being afraid and started running, "You guys are clearly friends! You can't lie to Leah!"
"This insolent..." Zaria smiled wryly before she started chasing after her playfully with a hint of nostalgia, 'How long has it been since I saw her smile so brightly...'
Ace appeared in his cultivation with a sharp look in his eyes, "I can finally start the Universal Ascension Black Physique Cultivation without any worry. Moreover, I should upgrade this place as well..."
Ace's lips curled up slightly as he commanded the system, "System, upgrade the living thief house up to the second scheme!"
Ace had already gathered the required treasures the moment he raided the bank, and it was time for him to upgrade this pace since he knew the higher the living thief space, the dense the spirit Qi would become.
Now that he would cultivate the first realm of Universal Ascension Black Physique, it was the right time to upgrade the living thief's space.
At this moment, the system's voice rang.

[Do you want to update the Living Thief's Space?]
Ace replied without hesitation, "Proceed!"
The next moment, the storage space treasures in his possession vanished with thief point deduction, and a tremor ran through the entire thief's house as the space
suddenly started to expand.
Not only that, but the Everlasting Endearment Palace also started to change as its size increased, and the imposing power increased with the spirit Qi.
Leah and Zaria, who were shocked by this sudden turn of events, also noticed this
sudden change. Leah was just curious, but Zaria's expression was solemn.
Just what kind of existence is this thief's house, and where did this guy get it, and why
him?" She thought as she observed the changes closely.
Ace was also witnessing the expansion of the space more closely than anyone else,
and his eyes shimmered with ecstasy.
Although nothing much changed, he could tell this place was far more different than before. At this moment, the system's voice rang.
