Binding System

After talking with Allan for about an hour, Ace and the others left.

"Where should we go now?" Scarlett did not want to return to the hotel immediately.

They had not had a chance to enjoy the city ever since they arrived at Herora city, so she wanted to go to a tourist attraction.

"How about we go to Herora Park?" Herora Park was the best park in Herora city, so Layla suggested that they go to Herora Park.

"Good idea!" Scarlett agreed instantly.

"Alright. Let's go to Herora Park now." Ace also agreed because going to the park with two beauties was not a bad idea.

However, something unexpected happened on their way to Herora Park.

They were stopped by ten people!

These ten people were none other than the subordinates of the Hudson family.

"Stop!" Zion stopped them immediately when he saw Ace and the others.

He knew they were Ace, Layla, and Scarlett because they had met several people who had participated in yesterday's auction.

Ace, Layla, and Scarlett instantly stopped their footsteps.

'Who are they?'

They had never met Zion and the others before, so they had no idea that they were the subordinates of the Hudson family.

"Are you Ace?" Zion inquired.

Ace shifted his gaze to Zion.

'I see. It seems like they are the subordinates of the Hudson family.'

From their behavior and Zion's question, he believed they were the Hudson family's subordinates.

"Who are you?" Layla inquired.

"We are the subordinates of the Hudson family." Zion gave an honest answer. "I want to ask you several questions now!"

Of course, Ace and the others still behaved normally because they were only awakeners at Elite rank.

If the fight happened, they believed they could kill Zion and the others.

"Did you kill Tom, Robert, and Lucas yesterday?" Zion went straight to the main question because Ace was their biggest suspect.

"Mister, I don't know who they are, so what makes you think I'm the killer?" like usual, Ace acted and responded calmly.

"Don't lie to me!" Zion believed Ace was lying to him. "You quarreled with them during the auction of the Lightning Move skill book, so how could you say you did not know them? Just answer my question honestly. You are the killer, right?"

"Mister, just because we quarreled during yesterday's auction doesn't mean I'm the killer." Ace did not admit it. "Who knows? Maybe they were killed by their enemies or the Hudson family's enemy."

"You don't have solid evidence, so you can't accuse us of being the killer." Unlike before, Scarlett did not reveal the truth and decided to help Ace because they were the subordinates of the Hudson family.

"On what basis do you accuse us of being the killers? Do you know that your actions are considered a crime?" Layla helped Ace too.

Zion clenched his fist because what they said was right.

He did not have solid evidence!

He only suspected them as the killers because they quarreled with Tom during yesterday's auction.

'What should I do now?'

He suddenly found a great idea.

"If you are not the killer, then show me your space ring. If you are the killer, you will have our lord's golden token and 770 gold coins." Zion was not afraid of Ace and the others because they were from the Hudson family.

[Several evil beings suggest you kill them immediately.]

[God of Wind dislikes their behavior, asking you to beat them up right away.]

[Greed says, asking you to show the staff in your space ring is like letting a stranger into your house. Beat them to death and take their staff instead.]

[Several divine beings nod their heads in agreement.]

Scarlett and Layla turned their heads toward Ace. They wanted to know what his answer would be.

"Mister, I let you question me, but you never show me any respect since the beginning. You even want to see all the staff in my space ring." Ace responded, "Do you think I'm afraid of you just because you are the subordinate of the Hudson family?"

"If you are not the killer, then you should not mind showing all your stuff in your space ring. I will believe your words if I don't find my lord's golden token in your space ring." Zion still wanted to see all the staff in Ace's space ring.

At this moment, they forgot that they were weaker than Ace. They did not show the slightest fear in their eyes because there was the Hudson family behind them.

The Hudson family was one of the most influential and strongest families in Herora city, so they believed Ace would not dare to do anything to them.

"Sure. You can see all the staff in my space ring, but…." Ace spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "…you will die after that. How is it? Do you still want to see all the staff in my space ring?"

[Three gods are excited, expecting you to beat them to death.]

Ace immediately let out his deadly aura and looked at them coldly.

Even though he was still young, but he had killed many people in his previous life, so he could use a deadly aura.

His eyes gleamed with terrifying light as he stared at them. Ace wanted to show them that he was serious with his words, so he did not hold back.

When Zion and the others saw Ace, they felt as if they were looking at the grim reaper, not a human being.

Not only that, but their legs suddenly became weak, and fear enveloped them. The longer they stared at Ace, the bigger the fear within them became.

They suddenly wanted to leave that place immediately because their instinct told them that they would die if they messed with him.

Of course, they tried their best to act normally because they were the subordinates of the Hudson family, but they failed.

Half of them could not stand straight anymore, and three people kept lowering their heads.

At this moment, they no longer wanted to check all the staff in Ace's space ring because their lives were more important.

"How is it? Do you still want to see all the staff in my space ring?" Ace repeated his question.

When they heard Ace's voice, their bodies trembled for a second because they felt as if his voice was like a devil's voice, cold and scary.

Because Zion and the others did not say anything, Ace walked past them casually. They immediately turned around after Ace, Layla, and Scarlett walked past them.

When Ace noticed that they held their weapons, he stopped his footsteps and spoke, "Think carefully before making a decision."

Scarlett and Layla also stopped their footsteps and looked at the subordinates of the Hudson family.

"Because it's our first meeting and you've never done anything bad to us, I will let it slide, but…." Ace spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "….the moment you attack me, I will show no mercy and kill you."

*Clink…Clang…

The sound of weapons falling to the ground reverberated in the entire area.

More than half of the Hudson family's subordinates dropped their weapons after hearing his words.

They didn't dare to attack Ace because their instinct told them not to mess with him. Even though Zion could still hold his weapon, he only stared at Ace.

Because they had dropped their weapons, Ace continued walking, ignoring Zion and the others.

"Boring!" Layla stated before finally following Ace.

The trio continued walking.

[Several divine beings voiced out their dissatisfaction.]

[Ten evil beings are egging you to change your decision.]

[God of Wind resents your choice.]

[Five Gods want to know the reason for your actions.]

Several evil and divine beings disliked his decision. They wanted Ace to kill Zion and the others because they were the subordinates of the Hudson family.

However, Ace ignored the notifications.

Even though Zion and the others were the subordinates of the Hudson family, but they had never done anything bad to him.

Of course, it would be a different story if they had done something to him or the people he cared about.

Ace was not a cold-blooded person, so he would not kill someone who had never done anything bad to him.

Of course, he knew many people disliked his personality, but he did not care about it. It was his life, so he could do whatever he wanted.

"I'm a little disappointed, Ace," Scarlett stated. "But I still love you."

Ace and Layla instantly turned their heads toward her.

"Ehm!" Scarlett cleared his throat. "I mean, I dislike a cold-blooded person. I don't want you to kill someone over a small thing."

"Well, they have never done anything bad to us, so I can let it slide." Ace would only kill someone who had done a bad thing to him or people he cared about.

"If they attacked you earlier, would you really kill them?" Layla asked curiously.

"Yes." He nodded his head. "Alright, let's forget about them and go to Herora Park."

"That's right. Let's go to Herora Park." Layla and Scarlett spoke in unison.

Hudson Family House, Front Yard.

Darwin was currently standing in front of his subordinates.

"How is the investigation?" Darwin inquired.

"We still haven't found the killer." Zion responded.

Darwin suppressed his anger and looked at his other subordinates. "What about you? Have you found Cain?"

"I'm sorry, lord. We still haven't found him." The green-haired man responded.

Darwin looked at his subordinates coldly. He was furious because his subordinates were incompetent.

"Go and investigate it again!" Darwin said angrily.
