'So, that technique's name was Psyche Invasion, huh? It seemed my blind arrow indeed hit the mark.' Ace's eyes shimmered with ecstasy.
From the moment he discovered Patriarch Empty Dream's presence here, he couldn't help but remember the first time he met with the Patriarch, and he tried to infiltrate his knowledge sea in the sham of sharing knowledge with him.
If not for the system, his secrets would be revealed without even him knowing it.
But, right now, Ace also has Mind Stealing job mission that has similarities to Patriarch Empty Dream's Psyche Invasion, and he might get some insight from it.
That's why he set all this up and revealed his real purpose at the end. So, Patriarch Empty Dream won't sense anything amiss. Even if he did, with a soul contract in the place he won't think Ace would try to harm him or dare to play any tricks.
