Ace exits the shop in his devil disguise and walks toward Devil Mountain while stealing some devils' memories to understand what is going on clearly.
He spotted many guards patrolling the city while the once blustering streets of the All Devil City were now almost barren. After he read a devil guard's memories, he couldn't help but click his tongue in amusement.
'Myriad Thieving Fox? She's really enjoying this, isn't she?' Ace thought with a faint smile as he felt proud of Winter.
Nonetheless, Ace didn't look for her because of the mission she was undergoing, nor did he need her.
"Halt!" At this moment, a heavy voice stopped him in his tracks, and when he turned around, he saw an ash-pale devil guard walking over. His aura was quite fierce, and he looked at him with clear suspicions.
However, Ace merely glanced at him and said one word, "Leave!" and then he started walking again.
