"I guess we have to see if my associate here is competent enough to get what we want first before we decide whether we need a snake in our ranks or not." Eva coldly uttered as she clearly just took a shot at Freya's abilities!

Freya's eyes went cold as she squinted them when she heard Eva's clear disdain and hostility. But she didn't retort since Ace strictly told her not to reveal Eva and treated her just as she treated him. 

But the difference was Ace was very gentle compared to the she-devil sitting over there, and Freya finally met her match. 

The Grim Ancestor, as an old snake, instantly noticed the tension between the two and quickly said, "Then this means I have a chance?" 

"Heh, only the best of the best can be under my Leader's command, and you are nothing but a ghost of the past who refuse to step into its grave. Let me see if I can't get anything out of you or not." Freya icily uttered and no longer wasted more time. 

Under the hood, Freya's gray eyes with black pupils suddenly started to shimmer in black ethereal light, and like ink spread in water, her eyes suddenly turned inky black.

All of a sudden, a fine dark vertical line suddenly appeared on her glabella before, like an eyelid. It suddenly separated, revealing a dark eyeball with six golden pupils. 

It was her connate ability, a racial trait, the Illusionary Dark Pupil, and unlike before, she has learned how to awaken it and gain control over this ability of her Evil Witch race. 

Her previous tri-golden pupils were the result of her not able to control the Illusionary Dark Pupil fully. But when she gained control, her eyes returned to normal, and her racial trait vanished. 

As for why she suddenly opened her Illusionary Dark Pupil, all of a sudden, it was to cast the secret spell she gained from the system!

The Grim Ancestor's eyes went wide when she heard Freya calling her 'the Ghost of Past,' as her heart suddenly raced in trepidation. 

But when she noticed six golden pupils suddenly started to glow under Freya's hood, and now she could only see that emotionless vertical eye staring right into her eyes, and a strange sensation suddenly started to envelop her mind. 

However, the Grim Ancestor seemed to sense the incoming danger, and all of a sudden, the snake-like pupils of the Grim Ancestor suddenly changed into normal human pupils, and her irises turned blue from gray. This happened so quickly that no one noticed it.

'Empty Sleep!' Freya then activated the Empty Sleep Spell on the Grim Ancestor. 

The Grim Ancestor's eyes which had been changed were dazed for a moment before they suddenly saw the six golden pupils of the dark vertical eye under Freya's hood suddenly start to spin!

The Grim Ancestor's expression suddenly started to turn blank before the luster in her eyes was gone, and now she looked like an empty husk. 

"Here, Leader, she's under my control!" Freya's sharp voice rang at this moment with clear hauteur present in it, "So much for being an old ghost of an ancestor!" 

Eva's eyes narrowed; despite not wanting to even, she had to admit Freya was really skillful at controlling other people's minds. However, she wasn't jealous or anything. She also has some methods to achieve such an effect, but the problem was she was too weak to use them. 

"Ask her who she is and where did she meet me first." Ace was quite pleased with Freya's efficiency, and she didn't belittle her title as Evil Thief or lose face in front of Eva.

Freya kept eye contact as she posted the same question as Ace. 

The Grim Ancestor blankly replied, "I am Jessie Campbell, from the land of Kingdoms in Azure Wind Continent, a former assassin of the Nightmare Ghost Organization. I met with Sky Stealer in the Zander City of Regal Kingdom when she was impersonating Javier!"

Both Eva and Freya were surprised, Eva because she was quite familiar with the structure of the low, middle, high, and royal lands. In contrast, Freya because she didn't know what lands of kingdoms were, but this woman seemed to be one of Ace's early victims when he started to rise in prominence.

Ace finally remembered at this moment when he heard the Zander City, the first city he visited after he entered the middle-level lands after finding it from Lane Town. 

"Ask her if she's Jason!" Ace quickly commanded. 

"Yes. I was disguised as a Jason at that time." The Grim Ancestor or Jessie replied blankly in the affirmative. 

Ace remembered encountering a very jolly guy named Jason, who was also in disguise and wanted to have ulterior motives for approaching him. At that time, Ace played along because he wanted to get his hands on Jason's disguise technique. 

However, he got nothing except Jason's identity token of being an assassin from the Nightmare Ghost Organization. But he never expected that guy was actually a woman, nor was he expecting to meet him ever again. 

Yet here they are, meeting under such strange circumstances!

After sighing in nostalgia, Ace said, "Ask her which ancestor she is and how did she manage to possess this girl?" 

Ace was now even more interested in the background of this old monster.

But when they heard her next words, everyone was shocked.

Jessie blankly stated. "I am not Grim Ancestor. He is my mentor and master, who I found in a secret ruin when I was on the job. He was attached to a scroll as a fragment of his soul, and he promised me his entire inheritance if I accepted him as my master and took revenge for him. 

"According to him, he is one of the ancient beast ancestors of the magic beast race, and during the racial war, he met a powerful Devil Ancestor and only managed to escape with a wisp of soul and fell into slumber for thousands of years in the Azure Wind Continent!"
