Chapter 105: Monarch & 12 Champions

Ace might have stormed into the lake house and locked himself in his room, but his ears—or, to be precise, Dame Wasp's cybernetic senses—were keenly attuned to the conversation outside. Hearing his mother willingly agree to move to his father's hometown without Mandy even needing to reveal all her cards, Ace was chuffed. Things had unfolded exactly as he had planned, making his pretense of being an ignorant, religious coward worth it.

He could have asked Janice for anything, but he requested a few acres of farmland because he knew that if he were to bring it up, Mandy—hesitant to participate in the transaction due to her ties to both Ace and Janice—would inevitably join in for her own interests ensuring that Ace and Janice would reach a deal which would help Mandy's interest of acquiring more farmland in that part of the town for reasons unknown.

Manipulating events from the shadows to align with his goals required patience and the ability to keep his ego in check. Every time Mandy, Janice, or Delores mocked him for his cowardice, religious beliefs, or ignorant remarks, rage simmered in his heart. Yet, Ace mind remained calm, controlling the fire within, ensuring that everything unfolded according to his design.

Except, that is, for one unexpected twist: discovering that the diamond ring was connected to the 'World of Curses.' Fortunately, he managed to sever all ties with the ring and secure appropriate compensation for it. Otherwise, Ace wouldn't have been able to enjoy the delicious crabs to his heart's content.
