Binding System

Henry's House, Living Room.

Henry was currently talking with his trusted and strongest subordinate, Liam. He did not believe 2-star ogre and goblin could kill his son.

This was the reason why he ordered Liam to investigate everything because he wanted to know the truth.

"Ask all subordinates from other families as well." Henry knew his order could cause conflict between him and the other families, but he did not care about it because he had to know how his son could die no matter what.

"Understood, my lord." Liam responded before walking out of the living room.

"Edward was one of the best awakeners in the younger generation. I refused to believe 2-star ogres and goblins could kill him." his eyes were bloodshot as he clenched his fist.

'Should I order two subordinates to monitor Ace too?'

He suddenly wanted his subordinates to keep an eye on Ace because Ace was the biggest suspect.

'Yes. I will order two of my subordinates to monitor him.'

With that idea in mind, he walked out of the living room to meet his subordinates.

Scarlett's House, Backyard.

"Ace, why don't you keep robing your enemy's money? Isn't it easier to get money that way?" Layla gave a piece of bad advice. "You even got a lot of money in just a month, so why do you want to open a restaurant?"

Doing business was hard, especially for someone like him.

Yes, Ace was a young man who knew nothing in her eyes!

This was the reason why she suggested that he should just beat or kill someone and take the money.

Black lines formed on Ace's forehead.

'Why are you suggesting a bad idea?'

Of course, he still remembered what he had done to his enemies until now.

"Ace, you need to think about it carefully because doing business is hard." Scarlett did not want Ace to lose his money, so she told him to think about it carefully first.

"Have you forgotten that I can cook delicious food?" Ace had mastered a cooking skill, so he could cook delicious food easily.

"Then are you going to cook by yourself? What if there are many customers later?" Scarlett inquired.

Ace sighed.

'She is right. I need to prepare everything first before thinking about opening a restaurant.'

Even though he could use a clone to help him, but it was not a good idea.

"Ace, just think about this carefully first." Layla uttered, "If you really want to open a restaurant and have prepared everything, I will help you."

"I will think about it again later." Ace responded.

After talking for about two hours in the backyard, they entered Scarlett's house.

----

Scarlett's House, Ace's Bedroom.

Ace and Scarlett were currently lying on the bed, naked. They immediately headed to his room and had sex after Layla went home.

They had sex for about an hour before they finally stopped. They were awakeners at Master rank, so they could have sex for a long time.

"Ace, if you have prepared everything, you can go see Lexie." Scarlett spoke and paused for a second before she continued, "She has a nice unused building for a restaurant. You can buy it from her later."

"Really?" Ace asked happily.

"Yes." She nodded. "Just go see her. But you have to prepare everything first before deciding it."

"Sure." He responded.

'I will start planning everything tomorrow.'

He added in his mind.

As Ace was thinking about his idea, Scarlett suddenly lay on top of him.

"I'm sleepy, Ace. I want to sleep." She uttered.

Ace wrapped his arms around her slender waist and kissed her forehead. "Good night, my love."

"Good night, Ace!" after giving him a peck on the lips, Scarlett rested her head on his chest.

Ace did not sleep immediately because he was still not sleepy.

'Oh right. I still haven't activated Sweet Dream card.'

He suddenly remembered the card given by the Goddess of War.

'System, activate the Sweet Dream card.'

[Ding! Sweet Dream card activated.]

'I can't wait to see the effects of this card.'

After thinking about his life for several minutes, Ace finally fell asleep.

----

The following morning at 05:00 am, Ace woke up.

He felt refreshed and full of energy after waking. He did not feel tired, limp or lethargic. He had never even felt that refreshed before.

It was as if he slept in a comfortable and soft white cloud.

'This Sweet Dream skill is so amazing! It's a pity that I can't teach this skill to Scarlett.'

At this moment, he noticed Scarlett was no longer in his arms.

'Where is she?'

After turning his head to the left and right, he finally knew she was sleeping on his left side.

'She is really an attractive lady. She even still looks beautiful when she is sleeping.'

A soft smile spread across his face when he saw her sleeping face.

'I suddenly want to embrace her.'

He grabbed her slender waist before finally putting her on top of him and wrapping his arms around her back.

"What's wrong, Ace?" Scarlett asked without opening her eyes.

"Nothing. I just want to embrace you." He gave an honest answer.

"I see." She slept again after hearing his words.

As Ace was embracing his beautiful lover, he stared at the ceiling.

'What is my father doing now? Is he sad right now? Does he miss me?'

He suddenly remembered his father.

'Even though he is annoying, but I still miss him.'

It had been two months since he transmigrated into a new world, so he really missed his father.

'Father, grandpa, grandmothers.'

He did not know why, but at that time, he really missed his family.

Even though he had a good life and a beautiful lover, but that could not lessen his longing for his family.

His family was really important to him, to the point he was willing to become a non-awakener as long as he could be with his family again.

'Will I be able to return to my original world if I succeed in becoming the Ruler?'

He did not know how powerful the Ruler was in this world, so he had no idea whether he could return to his original world or not after becoming the Ruler.

'System, can I return to my original world after becoming the Ruler?'

He decided to ask his system because the goddess created his system.

[I don't know, Host. Why don't you ask the Gods or Goddesses yourself?]

'Scarlett is with me. I can't do that.'

Even though she was sleeping, he was afraid she suddenly woke up and heard everything.

[Alright. I will ask them.]

The system immediately asked the Gods and Goddesses whether Ace could return to his original world or not after becoming the Ruler.

However, none of them answered the question.

[Host, none of them answered my question.]

"Then, can one of you tell my grandfather about what is happening to me?" Ace asked in a low voice.

His grandpa was already godlike, so maybe he could travel between worlds.

*One minute…Two minutes…Three minutes…

It had been three minutes since he threw a question at the Gods and Goddesses, but they still did not answer his question.

'They don't want to help me, huh?'

He sighed.

'Alright. I have three dreams now. First, I will become the Ruler of this world. Second, I will protect everyone I care about. And last, I will return to my original world.'

He had one more dream after remembering his family.

'Father, grandpa, grandmothers, wait for me. I will become the Ruler and return home!'

He raised his right hand before finally clenching his fist.

Without realizing it, it was already 05:30 am.

"Good morning, Ace." Scarlett woke up.

"Good morning." Ace showed his soft smile.

After talking for about thirty minutes, they took a shower together. Like yesterday, they soaked in a wooden tub together.

At 08:00 am, Scarlett took Ace to the city guard headquarters.

As they were heading to the city guard headquarters, two people were secretly following them.

The names of these two people were Roy and Jay. They were Henry's subordinates who were given the task of keeping an eye on Ace.

"Where are they going?" Roy asked curiously.

"We will know later." Jay responded, "Let's keep following them."

"Alright." Roy answered.

"Ace, let's go on a date after I finish my business later." Scarlett, who was walking next to him, spoke.

"Sure." Ace was pleased after hearing her words.

'Hmm?'

He suddenly noticed that two people were following them in secret.

When Scarlett saw his expression, she inquired, "What's wrong, Ace?"

"Two people are following us in secret." Ace gave an honest answer.

Scarlett was startled. "What?! Someone dare to follow me in secret?!"

"Let me deal with them." After saying that, Ace used the Lightning Move skill.

"Where is he?" Roy and Jay were shocked when Ace suddenly disappeared from their sight.

"Are you looking for me?" Ace, who was behind them, inquired.

When Roy and Jay turned their heads to look at him, Ace knocked them out.

"Ace, who are they?" Scarlett walked toward him.

'Hmm?'

A fresh swell of rage rose in her when she saw Roy and Jay.

"I think I've seen them before, but I can't remember who they are." Ace believed he saw Roy and Jay when they were on a mission to destroy the Red Ogre village.

He still had no idea they were Henry's subordinates because four families were participating in that mission.

"They are Henry's subordinates!" Scarlet said coldly.

"Henry's subordinates?!" Ace uttered
