Ace was startled by Marquis Kayleigh's sudden demand for his proof of identity, but he didn't have any, and even if he had it, he wouldn't show it to her so easily.
Nonetheless, this woman's voice was filled with authority, and he knew only this kind of aura and tone couldn't be emulated unless the other party was like him.
Furthermore, she was probably far stronger than he was, so even if he wanted to escape, he knew he couldn't outrun her, and instead, he would draw more attention to himself, and leaving this place might become more difficult.
Ace suppressed his uneasiness and politely asked, "May I ask who you are and why you want to see my identification?"
Marquis Kayleigh's eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent, making Ace's heart tremble when he sensed it, and his guess regarding her cultivation became true. But he couldn't understand why this woman suddenly showed killing intent towards a weak Ascension Master like him.
