Binding System

The battlefield was filled with happy screams of Scarlett's people.

They were delighted because they won the war and managed to avenge their dead brothers and sisters.

"My dead brothers and sisters, we have avenged you! You can rest in peace now." one of Scarlett's people shouted happily.

Ace, who was standing in front of Durg and Erg's corpses, smiled softly.

'They seem so happy.'

Of course, he was also thrilled because he could help Scarlett.

'Hmm?'

When he saw his clone in charge of monitoring Sean, he walked toward his clone.

"Where is he?" Ace inquired.

He and his clone were currently walking around the battlefield so that no one would be suspicious of them.

"Seas is died!" his clone gave an honest answer.

"What?!" Ace said in surprise.

"We were surrounded by many 2-star ogres and goblins earlier, so I could not protect him." his clone told him that all of Ace's clones were destroyed when they tried to protect Sean.

Ace sighed.

'He is so lucky!'

Because Sean had died, he could not torture him.

"Alright. Your job is done now." after tapping his clone's shoulder, Ace walked toward Scarlett.

His clone instantly melted into water after nodding his head.

"Scarlett, are you alright?" Ace inquired.

"I'm fine." Scarlett would have jumped into his arms if they were not on the battlefield. "What about you?"

"I'm fine because Layla and lady Lexie helped me earli-" before Ace had finished his words, he was surrounded by Scarlett's subordinates.

"Ace, you were amazing earlier!"

"That's right."

"You even killed a 3-star Red Ogre in less than five minutes! You are awesome!"

"Not only that, but you were also the first to kill 3-star Red Ogre."

"Ace, did you know you gave us boost earlier?"

"Ace, why didn't you tell us that you were a Rheanix?"

"Ah, I forgot about it! Ace, why did you hide the fact that you were a Rheanix?"

"Ace, do you know how much I want to meet a Rheanix?"

"Yes. I always want to meet a Rheanix too. I really want to know what heaven's beloved people look like. I did not expect that I was living in the same city with a Rheanix all this time."

"No wonder you are the most handsome man in our city. It turns out you are a Rheanix."

"Ah! Now that you mention it, it does make sense."

"No wonder you are handsome, Ace!"

Like when he defeated Edward and Davion in one move, they praised him continuously again.

However, they praised him more than before this time because they found out that Ace was a Rheanix, someone who was loved by the heavens.

Even though Ace had prepared himself earlier, but he still could not do anything when they praised him non-stop.

'What do you mean by saying I'm handsome because I'm a Rheanix? It has nothing to do with my face!'

He wanted to cry but had no tears.

Scarlett, who was seeing Ace's expression, almost could not hold back her laughter.

'This is what he wanted, but when he got it, he didn't know how to handle my people. He even has a complicated expression. Sometimes, he is so cute.'

It was funny seeing Ace's expression because he could not act calmly like usual.

"Scarlett, are you alright?" Layla asked as she walked toward Scarlett.

Scarlett shifted her gaze from Ace to Layla. "I'm fine."

At this moment, Aron, Alvaro, Lexie, Lieutenant Valeria, and Melissa walked toward Scarlett.

They smiled softly when they saw Ace's complicated expression.

"Scarlett, why did you hide Ace's strength all this time?" Melissa thought Scarlett hid Ace's strength on purpose.

Aron and the others turned their heads toward Scarlett, waiting for her answer.

"I'm not hiding his strength." Scarlett gave an honest answer. "He showed his amazing talent and awakened his second class two months ago."

"Two months ago?" Aron and the others said in surprise.

"Yes." Scarlett nodded her head. "Ace almost died in Framingburns forest two months ago. I think he awakened his second class and true talent when he was in a life and death situation."

"What?! He almost died two months ago?" Melissa and the others were shocked again.

"Was Henry the mastermind?" Alvaro suddenly suspected Henry was the mastermind because they knew Henry hated Ace to the bone.

"I don't know about this." Actually, Scarlett also suspected Henry as the mastermind, but at that time, Evelyn was with Ace, so she was not sure about it.

After all, Henry was much weaker than Evelyn, so he would not dare to do anything bad to Ace when they were together.

As Scarlett was talking with Aron and the others, Henry's scream reverberated in the entire area.

"Edward!" Henry screamed as he held his son.

Scarlett and the others instantly looked at Henry.

Not only them but Scarlett's subordinates instantly stopped praising Ace and turned their heads toward Henry.

"What's going?"

"Is Edward dead?"

"Hsst! Watch your words!"

"Then why did he scream like that?"

"I don't know!"

"We are on the battlefield right now, so there are only two possibilities. Either his son dies or his son is seriously injured."

"Let's check it."

"Good idea. Let's check it."

One by one, Scarlett's subordinates walked toward Henry.

"Let's check it too." Scarlett uttered.

"Alright." Aron and the others nodded their heads.

When they were close to him, Scarlett inquired, "Henry, what's wrong?"

"Scarlett, my son…my son…he is died." Even though his heart was filled with sadness, Henry tried his best not to cry because he was in front of Scarlett and her people.

"What?!" Scarlett and the others said in surprise.

Even though Edward lost against Ace, but he was one of the best awakeners in the younger generation.

Previously, they believed Edward would not die. At most, he would be heavily injured. This was the reason why they were shocked after hearing Henry's words.

Ace, who was crossing his arms over his chest, did not say anything and only stared at Henry and Edward's corpse.

Of course, he was not surprised because he was the mastermind.

'That's the price for trying to kill me.'

There was not the slightest sign of pity in his eyes because Edward was his enemy.

Henry instantly looked at Ace.

'Was he the one who killed my son?'

He suddenly suspected Ace was the killer because they had a bad relationship.

However, he said nothing because he did not have evidence.

And Ace also fought a 3-star Red Ogre since the beginning of the war, so he would not have time to kill his son.

'Who is it? Is it really the ogre and the goblin?'

He still did not know the truth because all of his subordinates who were given the task of protecting Edward died.

"Henry, I'm sorry for your loss, but you need to stay strong." Even though Scarlett had no feelings toward Henry, but she still felt sorry for his loss.

After all, Henry and his son had helped her destroy the Red Ogre village.

Henry could only embrace his son.

He did not try to seduce Scarlett because he was not in the mood to do that.

Shortly after that, one of Scarlett's subordinates told her that he had found a secret room twenty meters from the village.

They wasted no time and immediately headed to the secret room.

Their hearts were filled with happiness when they knew that the secret room was filled with treasure.

They were many gold, silver and copper coins in the secret room. There were even several armors and weapons in that place.

Actually, the ogres and goblins prepared this money, armor and weapons to attack Nightshire city.

They just did not expect that they would be killed by Scarlett and her people before they attacked Nightshire City.

"Take the treasure." Scarlett ordered her subordinates to take the treasure. "We will share the treasure later."

"Take the treasure now!" Captain Noah uttered.

After taking the treasure, they returned to Nightshire city.

Several people knew that Scarlett and the others had destroyed the Red Ogre village because they saw them when Scarlett and the others returned to the city.

After arriving at the army headquarters, Scarlett ordered Captain Noah to share the spoils of war.

She also told him to give the families of the soldiers who fell on the battlefield more spoils of war.

"Understood, city mistress." Captain Noah responded.

Shortly after that, they buried the warriors in the heroes' tombs.

Scarlett's House, Ace's Bedroom.

Ace was currently standing in front of the mirror, wearing only shorts.

No!

He did not do anything lewd.

He was only wearing shorts because he wanted to take a bath.

'Oh, right. I got two cards earlier.'

He had finished all the quests, so he got two cards earlier.

'Let me check it.'

He did not have time to check the cards earlier because the Red ogres and goblins kept attacking him.

When he was about to check the card, Scarlett suddenly entered his room. "Ace!"

The corner of his lips twitched.

'This lady always comes at a good time.'

Even though he could not check the cards, he was not angry at Scarlett because he could do that later.

"Hmm? Why are you only wearing shorts?" Scarlett asked after stepping into his room.

"Because I'm about to take a bath." He gave an honest answer.

"You want to take a bath? Then let's take a shower together." Scarlett suddenly wanted to take a bath with him.

"Sure!" after saying that, Ace carried her in a princess style and headed to the bathroom.
