Binding System

As lieutenant Valeria was talking with Scarlett in her office, Ace practiced martial arts in the backyard.

He was currently fighting ten of his clones. Previously, he made ten clones and ordered them to attack him.

However, he told them not to use magic or skills because he did not want to destroy the backyard.

After fighting his clones for more than thirty minutes, Ace stopped and sat on the training ring.

"Huft…Huft…Huft…" as he was breathing heavily, all of his clones melted into water.

'I'm tired.'

He immediately retrieved a stamina potion from his space ring.

'This is the last stamina potion. Should I drink it?'

Even though he had eighty potions in his space rings, but he only had two stamina potions.

Previously, he drank one stamina potion after using battle instinct because he wanted to practice martial arts immediately.

This was the reason why he only had one stamina potion left.

'I better save it.'

With that idea in mind, he stored the stamina potion in his space ring again.

After resting for several minutes, Ace headed to the bathroom to take a bath. His body was full of sweat, so he felt uncomfortable.

"I feel refreshed again!" Ace immediately wore clothes after stepping into his room.

'It's 04:00 pm. I'm going to go for a walk around city.'

He did not know that Valeria was in Scarlett's house.

"It's a pity that I can't enjoy this beautiful city with Scarlett." Previously, he wanted to ask Scarlett to go for a walk with him, but he changed his mind because she was busy.

That was why he decided to take a walk alone.

Several meters from him, two people were quarreling on the road. The young lady had a beautiful face and sexy body, while the young man was quite handsome.

These two people were none other than Layla and her ex-boyfriend, Sean.

Previously, Layla and Sean talked in the restaurant, but she left immediately after saying that she wanted to break up with him.

Sean did not want to break up with her, so he decided to chase her and tried to change her mind.

However, Layla ignored him and still wanted to break up with him. This was the reason why they were quarreling on the road.

"Sean, stop following me!" Layla said angrily.

"Layla, that's not true and I've never had an affair." Sean tried to stop her again.

"Do you think I'm fool? I know everything, Sean. I already know everything. I even know that you only want to use me." Layla followed him in secret last night because she wanted to know who his secret lover was.

When she was following him in secret, she found out something shocking!

Sean never loved her and only wanted to use her!

He dated her because he wanted to use her power for his benefit.

Layla was an awakener at Master rank, so she could help him in many things, including beating people for him, protecting him, and getting beast cores for him.

This was the reason why she almost killed him last night.

Sean was shocked.

'What?! How did she know that?'

He always made sure to always act like he really loved her whenever they were together, so he was stunned after hearing her words.

"What are you talking about, Layla? I never used you for my benefit. I love you from the bottom of my heart." Of course, he did not want to admit it because he still needed her to obtain the beast core.

"You don't need to lie because I heard it directly from your mouth." Layla told him that she followed him in secret last night.

She also said she knew who his secret lover was and what they had been doing behind her until now.

Sean could not say anything after hearing her words.

'Damn it! I should not have told Diana everything last night!'

He wanted to deny it, but she said she heard his conversation with Diana last night, so he knew that he could not fool her anymore.

"Don't follow me anymore!" after saying that, Layla turned around and walked away.

"Layla, wait! Please give me one more chance!" Sean ran after her.

Layla ignored him and kept walking.

'Should I beat him?'

At this moment, she almost could not suppress her anger because he kept following her.

"Layla, please give me one more chance. I promise I will change and stop meeting Diana from today onwards." Diana was not as useful as Layla, so Sean chose her over Diana.

Layla gritted her teeth.

'He is so annoying! I will just knock him out.'

When she was about to knock him out, she caught sight of Ace.

'Ace?'

Her angry face instantly turned happy.

"Ace!" Layla ran toward him before finally hugging his right arm.

No!

She was not using him to deal with Sean.

She immediately embraced his right arm because she was happy seeing him. "Ace, why are you here?"

Even though Ace was shocked by her actions, he did not show it on his face. "I just want to take a walk. What abo-"

Before Ace had finished his words, Sean shouted. "Stay away from my girlfriend!"

Ace instantly turned his head toward the source of the sound.

'Girlfriend? Is he Layla's boyfriend?'

He still acted calmly because Sean was only awakener at Elite rank.

"Who is your girlfriend? We have broken up, so we don't have special relationship now." Layla hated it when Sean still referred to her as his lover because they had broken up.

Ace looked at Layla before finally returning his attention to Sean. He did not say anything and only stared at them.

He also did not tell Layla to stop hugging his right arm as if it was normal for her to do that.

"Layla, what are you doing? Hurry up and stop hugging his right arm! What's so good about this boytoy?" of course, Sean knew who Ace was.

"Shut up! Ace is a thousand times better than you." In her eyes, Ace was much better than Sean.

"What?! A thousand times better than me? Haha." Sean laughed loudly after hearing her words.

Everyone in Nightshire city knew that Ace only had a handsome face, so he found her words funny.

[Five divine beings suggest that you beat him up.]

[Three evil beings tell you to kill him.]

Ace was unhappy after seeing Sean's behavior, but he could still control himself.

Layla was even angrier when Sean underestimated Ace.

'Tch! Why did I agree to be his lover in the past?'

She regrated accepting his love in the past.

"Hey, boytoy, hurry up and get away from her or else I will beat you up later." Sean did not know that Ace was much stronger than him.

That was why he acted arrogantly because he thought Ace was still weak.

"I will give you five seconds to apologize to me and give me your space ring." Even though Ace was angry, he could still talk calmly.

Instead of apologizing, Sean laughed. "What?! You want me to apologize to you? Did I hear it right? Haha."

"1…2…" Ace ignored Sean and started counting.

"Sean, I suggest you apologize to him immediately or else you will regret it later." Layla knew that Ace had broken through to the Master rank, so she knew how strong he was.

"I will regret my actions later? Haha." Sean did not believe her words. "He only has a handsome face. What could he do other than use his handsome face to survive?"

"3…4…" Ace kept counting.

"Why don't you just stop counting and attack me immediately? I want to see the power of the famous boytoy. Haha." Sean kept mocking Ace.

Layla immediately stopped hugging Ace's right arm.

"5…" after counting to five, Ace raised his right arm, ready to slap Sean's face.

He did not use his sword or magic. Sean was only at Elite rank, and his stats were so low, so a single slap was enough to injure him heavily.

Because Sean thought Ace was weak, he still laughed and had a calm face. "Haha. Good! Let me see the strength of th-"

He stopped his words halfway when he felt a terrifying energy in Ace's right hand.

'What?'

His calm face immediately turned to panic.

He tried to block Ace's slap, but he failed. "Uakkk…"

As he was sent flying by Ace's slap, blood splashed out of his mouth, and his front teeth fell out.

Bang!

The sound of his body falling to the ground echoed in Ace's ears.

Even though Ace did not use his full power and only slapped Sean's face, but it was enough to send him flying three meters from where he was.

"What happened?" Sean found it hard to believe what was happening.

Everyone in Nightshire city knew that Ace was weak and only had a handsome face, so how could he injure him with only a single slap?

Ace and Layla walked closer to him.

Sean tried to stand up when Ace was walking closer to him, but he failed because he felt excruciating pain all over his body.

Ace stopped his footsteps and uttered, "I gave you a chance to apology earlier, but you did not take it, so blame yourself."

When Ace was trying to take his space ring, Sean uttered, "No! Don't take my space ring!"

Of course, Ace ignored Sean's words. "This is what you get for causing trouble for me!"

Layla did not say anything or try to stop him when Ace took Sean's space ring.

[God of Wind says, take off his clothes too. Humiliated him in public.]

At first, Ace wanted to take God of Wind's suggestion, but he changed his mind because he had a better idea.

'I will do that.'
