Binding System

Zaria was currently standing on a tree branch, skimming her surroundings. She wanted to know whether Gracie put a trap or not.

'Hmm?'

As she was skimming her surroundings, she saw Darwin and his twenty subordinates walking to the orphanage.

'He has come.'

She was not surprised when she saw Darwin and his subordinates because she knew they would come to Goddess Teressa's orphanage.

When they were in front of the orphanage, Darwin stopped his footsteps and turned around. "You guys wait around this orphanage. Remember, don't let Ace escape no matter what."

"Understood, lord." Zion and the others responded in unison.

After ordering his subordinates to hide around the orphanage, Darwin stepped into the front yard.

Zaria, who was looking at them from afar, mused, "Should I kill them or not?"

'I will just kill them.'

Even though they had twenty people, but all of them were only at Elite rank, so she was sure she could kill them.

Zaria immediately stored her sword in her space ring before finally taking her daggers from her waist.

'Alright, who should I kill first?'

When she saw a red-haired man walking away from his group, she decided to kill him first.

'Alright. I have decided who will become my target.'

Even though she was already at Master rank, but she decided to kill them one by one, not fight them head-on.

She could ruin Ace's plan if she fought them openly. That was why she decided to kill them secretly.

"I will just pee behind that huge tree." The red-haired man walked toward a huge tree calmly because he did not know that Zaria was about to kill him.

'It seems like I drank too much earlier.'

When he was unzipping his trousers, Zaria appeared behind him and sliced his throat using her dagger.

The red-haired man could not protect himself because she attacked him sneakily. This was the reason why he died holding his penis.

"Disgusting!" Zaria did not expect to see his penis.

Bang!

She kicked the red-haired man out of disgust.

'I will kill the others now.'

After killing the red-haired man, she looked for her next target.

As Zaria was killing his subordinates, Darwin waited in the living room alone. Even though he wanted to kill Ace as quickly as possible, he could still control his emotions.

'Ace, today is the day of your death.'

He would not let Ace go no matter what because Ace had killed his two sons and his trusted subordinates.

As Darwin was thinking of ways to kill Ace, Gracie chatted with Ace, Layla, and Scarlett in the dining room. Like before, Gracie behaved as if she was a kind and gentle woman.

"Lady Gracie, is today a special day?" Ace pretended as if he did not know her plan. "I was pleasantly surprised when you suddenly invited us to have lunch with you earlier."

"No. Today is not a special day." Gracie responded as she smiled, "Mister Ace and the others had helped us a few days ago and I felt that I still had not returned the favor enough, so I decided to invite you guys to have lunch with me."

"I see." Like before, Ace and the others acted as if they knew nothing.

When they were about to eat, Aimee, her loyal servant, entered the dining room. "Gracie, mister Darwin came to our place and he is waiting in the living room now."

"Mister Darwin?" Gracie pretended to be surprised. "Bring him here."

"Alright." After saying that, Aimee headed to the living room.

"You guys don't mind it, right?" Gracie inquired.

"Of course, we don't mind it." Ace and the others responded in unison.

Shortly after that, Darwin stepped into the dining room. "Miss Gracie, I apologize for coming over so suddenly like this."

"It's fine, mister Darwin." Gracie smiled softly. "You are always welcome in my orphanage."

After standing in front of Gracie, Darwin looked at Ace and the others. "Oh, it seems like you have guests right now? Am I disturbing your time?"

'So, he is Ace, huh?'

Even though he had seen Ace's portrait, but he had never met Ace before.

"No. You are not disturbing me." After saying that, Gracie looked at Ace and the others. "Mister Ace, Mrs Scarlett, Miss Layla, let me introduce him to you guys. He is mister Darwin. He is my orphanage donator. He has helped us many times until now."

At this moment, Darwin could still act calmly. There was no hatred in his eyes. There was even no killing intent coming from him, as if he had no hatred for Ace.

"Mister Darwin, they are mister Ace, Mrs Scarlett, and Miss Layla." Gracie introduced Ace, Layla, and Scarlett to Darwin.

"Oh, so you are mister Ace, someone who succeeded in becoming a unique magician a few days ago?" of course, Darwin knew that Ace was a unique magician because Gracie had told him about this before.

"Yes. That's me." Ace responded calmly.

'Wow! He can still act calmly after seeing me. I'm amazed by his patience.'

Previously, he thought Darwin would show his hatred, but he was wrong.

He was utterly wrong because not only did he not feel any hatred from him, he even did not feel killing intent coming from him as if there was no animosity between them.

"You are amazing, mister Ace." Darwin praised Ace. "I heard it's hard to become a unique magician, but you can become one at such a young age. It seems like mister Ace is a kind person. That's why you can become a unique magician."

Ace, Layla, and Scarlett wanted to puke after hearing his words. Of course, they knew it was empty praise because they knew Darwin wanted to kill Ace so badly.

"He is indeed a kind young man, mister Darwin." Gracie spoke and paused for a second before she continued, "Or, right, mister Darwin. How about having lunch with us?"

"Can I really have lunch with you guys?" Darwin pretended to be happy.

"What are you talking about? Of course, you can have lunch with us." Gracie responded, "Isn't that right, mister Ace?"

"That's right." Ace responded instantly. "Mister Darwin, let's have lunch together."

"Then I will gladly accept the offer." Darwin glanced at Gracie after saying this.

Their lips curled up into a smirk because everything went according to their plan.

After they sat on the chairs, Gracie uttered, "Let's enjoy the meal now."

Ace, Layla, and Scarlett started consuming their food.

Darwin and Gracie also ate their food. Even though all the food had been poisoned, they were not afraid because they had drunk the antidote before.

As he was consuming his food, Darwin often stole glances at Ace.

'Enjoy your meal because it will become your last meal.'

He believed Ace would die in his hands today.

At first, Ace, Layla, and Scarlett were still fine, but it did not last long because they suddenly coughed up blood.

The poison that Gracie used was a lethal one, so the effects could be seen in just a few seconds.

"Uagkk." Ace, Layla, and Scarlett instantly covered their mouths.

"Gracie, did you put something in the food?" Layla's eyes were bloodshot.

Gracie did not answer instantly and looked at Darwin.

"Haha." Darwin and Gracie laughed loudly.

Because Ace, Layla, and Scarlett had been poisoned, they did not need to hide it anymore.

"That's right. There is a deadly poison in the food." Darwin laughed happily because he almost avenged his two sons.

When Gracie saw their expression, she uttered, "Hey, don't blame me for this. Blame yourself for killing Darwin's two sons."

She showed her true color.

Ace and the others had been poisoned, so there was no need to pretend to be a gentle and kind lady.

Ace, Layla, and Scarlett exchanged a glance with each other before finally rushing to the backyard.

"Do you think you can run away from me?" After saying that, Darwin chased them

Gracie also ran after them because she wanted to help Darwin kill Ace, Layla, and Scarlett.

As Darwin was chasing Ace and the others, Zaria killed Darwin's last subordinate. "What is that sound? Has the plan been carried out?"

Darwin retrieved his bow from his space ring.

*Shui…Shui…Shui…

He fired three arrows at once.

The arrows flew toward Ace, Layla, and Scarlett at incredible speed.

Even though he was aiming at three moving targets, but the shot did not miss. The arrows landed on their legs, causing them to run slower.

"Earth Spike!" Gracie commanded the ground beneath Ace, Layla, and Scarlett to rise into spikes.

Ace, Layla, and Scarlett's legs were already hit by Darwin's arrows, so they could not move normally, causing them to get hit by Gracie's attacks easily.

"Haha." Darwin laughed loudly as the spikes of earth pierced their bodies.

He was happy.

He was thrilled because Ace and the others were dying now.

Darwin, who was standing in front of Ace and the others, uttered, "How do you feel now?"

Gracie walked toward him before finally standing on Darwin's right side. "Are you going to kill them immediately?"

"No. I want to torture them first. I wan-" Darwin stopped his words halfway when Ace, Layla, and Scarlett's bodies suddenly melted into water.

"Water?!" Gracie said in surprise.

They were shocked when Ace, Layla, and Scarlett's bodies suddenly melted into water.

"Is it a clo-" she suddenly coughed up blood and her body also became weak.

'What's going on?'

She still did not know what was happening.

Like Gracie, Darwin also coughed up blood and fell to the ground.

His body was so weak, to the point he did not have the strength to stand up. "Gracie, what's going on?"

At this moment, the real Ace, who was floating in mid-air, stared at them before finally landing in front of them.
