Binding System

Sean was hiding behind a tree, looking at Ace.

'Good! Eat the meal. Eat it until there is nothing left!'

He smiled evilly when he saw Ace consuming his meal because he still thought the food was poisonous.

'Layla, your handsome friend will die today and you will fall into my arms again later!'

He laughed happily in his head.

As Sean was peeking at Ace from behind a tree, Ace's clone did the same thing.

He was hiding behind a tree and looking at Edward!

'What a fool! It's a pity that I don't have a system like the real me, so I don't know what kind of poison is it.'

After Edward finished eating his meal, Ace's clone headed to the real Ace.

At this moment, Sean no longer peeked at Ace. Ace had consumed his meal, so he decided to return to his group.

When Ace noticed that one of his clones was standing in front of a tree, he walked toward his clone. "Captain Noah, I want to pee again. I will be right back."

Captain Noah shifted his gaze from his drink to Ace.

'You want to pee again? Did you drink a lot of wine with city mistress last night?'

He suddenly thought Ace had some fun with city mistress last night.

Ace followed his clone to a quiet place. "So, what is it?"

"Sean tried to poison you earlier." His clone explained everything to him.

"I see." Ace was not surprised because he had guessed something like this would happen.

This was the reason why he told his system to scan his food and drink before.

"What are you going to do to him?" his clone inquired.

"He tried to poison me, so I will kill him later." After saying that, Ace tapped his clone's right shoulder. "Alright. You did a good job."

His clone nodded his head before finally melting into water.

[God of Wind utters, it's weird to see you talking with your clone.]

[Several divine beings agreed with God of Wind's words.]

"Well, it can't be helped because I don't know what they see, hear and do." Ace would be happy if his clone could provide information directly to his mind

However, his Ice Clone magic could not do that. That was why he had to talk with them in person.

As Ace was walking toward captain Noah, Sean walked back and forth. "I need to tell him that I have done my job."

'But how?'

Henry was with Scarlett and other important figures, so he could not meet Henry, or else they would be suspicious later.

'I will just tell Edward and ask him to tell his father that I have done my task.'

When he caught sight of Edward, he decided to inform him.

At this moment, Edward was sitting on the ground with his back leaning against a tree. He was still fine because the poison would only take effect after an hour.

"Hmm?" Edward still sat on the ground when he saw Sean walking toward him.

"I have finished my job. Ace has consumed the poisoned food." Sean said as he walked past Edward.

"Good job!" Edward did not stop him when Sean walked past him.

'Then it's time to carry out our next plan.'

With that idea in mind, he decided to meet his father.

When Henry saw his son, he immediately walked toward him. Like before, the duo headed to a quiet place.

"Father, Ace has consumed the poisoned meal." Edward spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "I think it's time to carry out next our plan."

"Edward, there is a little change in the plan." Henry told his son what to do.

"I understood." After saying that, Edward headed to his family's subordinates.

"I just need to talk to Scarlett now." Henry walked toward Scarlett and the others.

At the same time, Ace was talking with two of his clones. These clones were the ones who followed Henry and Edward in secret.

"I see. Then I will play along with his plan." Ace was already at Master rank, so Henry's subordinates and Edward were nothing to him.

"How about we kill Sean another day?" one of Ace's clones uttered.

Ace was startled. "Why?"

"Wouldn't it be better to torture him before killing him? He has caused trouble to you a few days ago, so killing him immediately is too good for him." His clone told him the reason why he suggested Ace did not kill Sean immediately.

[Several evil beings agreed with your clone.]

[Two divine beings are shocked by your clone's idea.]

"That's actually a good idea!" Ace forgave Sean once, but Sean still tried to poison him, so he agreed to torture Sean. "Alright. You two keep pretending to be Scarlett's subordinates. When we attack the Red Ogre village later, kidnap him and take him somewhere."

"Alright." His clones left.

As Ace headed to captain Noah, four of Henry's subordinates walked to the center of the field.

The names of these four people were Dani, Rudy, Davion, and Jake.

"What are they doing?"

"Why are they carrying their weapons with them? Are they going to fight?"

"Did they quarrel earlier?"

"Are they going to show off their skills?"

One by one, the troops voiced out their curiosity.

At this moment, four of Henry's subordinates were standing face to face, ready to fight.

Scarlett turned her head to look at Henry. "Henry, what are they doing?"

She was currently sitting on a wooden chair with Lexie and the others. There was a long wooden table in front of them with tea on top of it.

"My subordinates always practice after eating." Henry lied to Scarlett. "It's fine. It's only a normal spar."

Because Henry said it was only a normal spar, Scarlett did not say anything and drank her tea.please visit

Henry was pleased when Scarlett did not tell him to stop his subordinates from sparring because this meant everything was under his control.

*Clang…Cling…

The sound of weapons clashing reverberated in the entire area.

At this moment, Henry's subordinates were sparring on the field. Even though they were only sparring, but they fought seriously.

Bang!

Bang!

Dani and Rudy were thrown two meters from where they were before finally falling to the ground.

"I won." Davion and Jake spoke in unison. "Now it's time for us to spar."

Edward, who was sitting on the ground, smirked.

'It seems like father managed to keep Scarlett from stopping them.'

He returned his attention to Davion and Jake.

*Clang…Cling…

Davion and Jake attacked each other continuously.

Bang!

Jake fell to the ground after being hit by Davion on his mid-torso.

"I won, Jake." Davion stated.

"Nice move!"

"You are not bad, Davion."

"Nice kick!"

One by one, the troops praised Davion.

The troops were delighted because they entertained them when they were on break.

Captain Noah, who was sitting next to Ace, inquired, "What do you think, Ace?"

"Not bad!" Ace responded calmly.

"Oh! You are acting as if you are an expert awakener. But I like your answer. Haha." Captain Noah laughed when he saw Ace's cool behavior.

After defeating Jake, Davion glanced at henry.

His lips curled up into a grin when he saw Henry nodding his head.

'Ace, don't blame me for this. I only want money.'

Because everyone's attention was on him, Davion thought it was a good time to challenge Ace.

With that idea in mind, he turned around to look at Ace. "Ace, do you want to spar with me?"

"What?! He wants to spar with Ace?"

"Hey, did I hear it right?"

"Why did he suddenly ask Ace to spar with him?"

"Does he have a grudge with Ace?"

"Did Ace do something to him before?"

"Is he not afraid of being beaten up by city mistress?"

The volume of chatter in the field rose.

They were shocked.

They were stunned because Davion suddenly asked Ace to spar with him.

Davion should have known that Ace was a weak young man, so he should not ask Ace to spar with him.

Like her subordinates, Scarlett was startled.

'What?! Why did he suddenly ask Ace to spar with him?'

She immediately looked at Henry because she believed everything had been arranged by him.

'But this is good too. With this, everyone will know that Ace is no longer a weak young man.'

She was not angry at Henry; instead, she felt grateful because Henry had set the stage for Ace.

Lieutenant Valeria, who was sitting on Scarlett's right side, inquired, "City mistress, should I stop him?"

Even though she was not close to Ace, she did not want something bad to happen to him.

There were two reasons for this.

First, Ace was important to Scarlett, and last, Ace was the son of a Hero. Ace's father was the hero of Nightshire city because he died protecting the city.

That was why lieutenant Valeria did not want something bad to happen to him.

"It's fine. It's just a spar." Scarlett responded.

"But what if something bad happens to Ace later?" Lieutenant Valeria inquired.

"Nothing bad will happen to him." Scarlett was one hundred percent sure that Ace would defeat Davion.

"Lieutenant Valeria, Scarlett is right. It's just a spar, so nothing bad will happen to Ace." Henry was thrilled after hearing Scarlett's words.

Lieutenant Valeria did not say anything anymore and only stared at Ace.

'What are you going to do, Ace?'

She would help him if Ace decided to decline the challenge.

"Hehe." When everyone was shocked, Layla covered her mouth and giggled.

'What a fool!'

She said in her head.

"How is it, Ace? Do you want to spar with me?" Davion inquired. "Don't worry. I won't injure you."
