That's why Alvin apologized so quickly and didn't kill Natalia because Nightmare Ghosts Organization would've not cared if he was a Flame Guard of Pill Flame Organization or a Qi River Core cultivator. They will haunt him to no end!
Even the Pill Flame Organization can't stop them until they're willing to go on an all-out war for him. But that was also impossible because no one know where the Nightmare Ghost Organization headquarter was hidden.
Natalia coldly glare at Alvin and nodded in understanding because it was indeed her fault for not showing her Ghost Token sooner. She thought it would be possible to escape Alvin even if he was a Qi River Core cultivator because of her pride.
But now she found out the difference between her realm and Alvin's was like day and night.
"Why are you hiding in these participants?" Alvin pensively inquire, now that the misunderstanding has been clear he wanted to know what purpose does a purple assassin had to pose as a participant.
Natalia took a moment to consider whether to tell Alvin or just leave because Alvin can't do anything to her now that he knew she was from the Nightmare Ghosts except he had a death wish.
"Sky Stealer!" Natalia coolly stated.
Alvin pull a long face when he heard the name because he was also here for the Sky Stealer.
"But we thought you guys weren't interested in that thief since your organization rejected the other two organizations summon to discuss the matter of Sky Stealer."
Before Pill Flame sent Alvin here, a meeting was held between two leaders of two giants, and they mostly related this meeting to the notorious thief Sky Stealer.
However, this meeting was supposed to be between the three leaders, but the leader of Nightmare Ghosts never showed up nor did the organization respond in any way as if they weren't interested in him.
In the end, the two organizations moved on without Nightmare Ghosts.
But now, an assassin showed up here and her target was none other than the thief which means Nightmare Ghost was very interested in this thief. Yet they didn't want to work together with anyone.
This also implicated that the organization wanted to monopolize that thief's secrets to itself without sharing them with anyone!
"I know nothing about this summon." Natalia coolly replied as a hint of understanding flash past her eyes.
Alvin frowned, 'Just what is that Old Ghost planning?' he thought gravely.
"Please don't interfere in my business again. Since you know my Qi Projection, I assumed it won't happen again." Natalia said in a warning tone.
It if was someone else talking to a Flame Guard like this will mean certain death but it was not the case for a Purple Assassin!
Alvin's face turn ugly and he said with a hint of anger in his voice, "Do you think I can't do anything to you?"
Natalia deeply looked at Alvin's sullen face before saying, "Indeed you can but I'll have you known …"
Alvin's face was wrapped in fear when he heard Natalia's words and he blurted, "You can go. I'll report this to the headquarter."
"Thank you." Natalia nodded but before leaving she said with a faint smile, "If you found anything about that thief please inform me, I'll be in participants for a while."
Alvin's face darken but he didn't dare to retort in any way and merely nodded in agreement as if he was afraid of something.
'I need to be more careful and leave this place as soon as possible after capturing that thief unostentatiously. How troublesome, these ghosts are indeed wanton and difficult to deal with.' Alvin thought with deep bitterness.
Natalia didn't stay and dissolved in rain. She knew Alvin would probably not tell her anything, but she wasn't worried about it in the least.
She was confident in finding that thief first after all she could mix in the masses and a very powerful cultivation base.
'I should stick with that group now.' Natalia thought as she moves in a precise direction like wind.
Alvin also didn't dwell on this place and moved on to his next target. Now that he knew about the presence of Nightmare Ghosts he was in a hurry to find that thief and leave this place.
---
Five hundred meters away from where Alvin and Natalia were, Ace was leaning against a tree.
When he senses Alvin's soul signature moving towards Natalia's, his lips curl upwards into a broad smile.
The reason for him not using the invisible bead or his escaping abilities after finding Alvin's propinquity was exactly because he knew about Natalia's truth from start!
Ace has long seen through Natalia's disguise and cultivation after using Soul Shattering Eyes for a brief moment.
But he didn't show it in the least bit and didn't leave Nola's party either. Ace was sticking together with them because of Natalia's!
Ace thought it would be to his advantage if he sticks with another person in disguise that the martial sense can see through. This will reduce his chances to draw any suspiciousness on himself tremendously.
He was right in the end because Natalia never suspected him when she was with him and she even drew all the attention on herself and solved the crisis when she killed those two lackeys of Mark as a warning.
But he was still uncertain when Alvin appeared so quickly because if Alvin would've killed everyone else that would be a calamity for Ace.
However, Alvin never touched them and he let them escape and Alvin's target was also Natalia as Ace assumed long ago.
Ace also notice one peculiar thing about Natalia after all this time he spend with her and that was her disguise technique!
Techniques and Skills also have their own special Qi or Soul fluctuations and Ace has been long accommodated to sensing the difference in fluctuations!
That's why he instantly felt he had sensed this technique's particular fluctuation before and until now he only encountered one person who had this kind of powerful disgusting technique and that was Jason!
This gives Ace another clue about the identity of Natalia and he quickly labeled her as another Assassin like Jason!
But he was still uncertain about her target.
Ace has encountered two assassins in a brief time, one can be said to be coincident but this second one was in this competition between all these participants.
Moreover, her cultivation was too powerful and there wasn't a single person who could've matched her prowess in the entire Regal Kingdom. This attracted Ace's thoughts to Alvin's presence here and Ace concluded she was also here for him!
And now he sensed those two standing in their spot for too long doing nothing which means they're not enemies and probably talking about something which interests both parties.
'These three giants making it more difficult to steal!' Ace thought with a wry smile on his face while thoughtfully looking at the dark cloudy sky.
"[New Mission is Available!]"
Ace snapped out of his thought when he heard the system's abrupt sweet yet icy voice inside his mind.
"A new mission?!" Ace exclaimed out loud in bewilderment.
This was his first mission after he enter the land of kingdoms and also his first mission that going to be with no multiplayer which mean no extra rewards!
"System your timing is always the worse!" Ace resentfully transmitted.
He was trying his best to lie low for the time being but suddenly the system gave him the mission and he knew this will not be an easy one.
But he had no control over the mission since every mission will trigger based on his life's special events or when some special conditions satisfy the criteria set by the system!
All Ace knew is if this mission is related to his life's event then it's going to be a very difficult one so he hopes it was something from the system!
Ace takes a deep breath and opens the mission panel with a heavy heart.

======
Ace's face was darker than charcoal after seeing this new mission.
"System aren't you asking me for death by telling me to theft 30 capital level branches of three giants?! You even included that den of killers in it!" Ace enraged voice transmitted in his mind.
Although he was planning on stealing from Pill Flame but only the lesser branches, not capital level!
But seemingly the system took his trivial intention wrongly and gave him this impossible mission!
