Binding System

'Hmm?'

When Ace heard the sound of footsteps approaching him, he stopped talking with Layla and turned his head toward the source of the sound.

'Allan?'

He was not surprised when he saw Allan because they were currently in the Wynn trading house.

Like Ace, Scarlett and Layla also turned their heads toward Allan.

"Young master…" the mature lady immediately greeted Allan.

Allan smiled at the mature lady before finally returning his attention to Ace. "Friend, can you tell me how you got the token in your right hand? I'm sure I have never given that token to you before."

The mature lady instantly looked at Ace.

'What?! Didn't he get the token from young master Allan? Why is young master Allan asking this question? Did he steal that token from someone?'

Countless questions appeared in her head.

Ace did not panic and answered Allan's question calmly. "Can we go to a private room first? I can't answer your question in this place."

Allan was startled after hearing Ace's words. "Private room? Why do we have to go to a private room first? Can't you answer my question now?"

"Because it's related to the Hudson family." Of course, Ace was not afraid of the Hudson family.

Allan suddenly remembered what Cain had done to the Hudson family. "Alright. Follow me."

They immediately headed to the fourth floor. Wynn trading house had four floors. The first floor was for buying and selling transactions.

The second and third floors were for auction, while the highest floor was for private room and office.

Each floor was guarded by twenty people, and all of them were awakeners at the Elite rank.

There was one group leader on each floor, and all group leaders were awakeners at Master rank.

This was the reason why no one dared to cause trouble at Wynn trading house because causing trouble at Wynn trading house was the same as digging their own graves.

After reaching the fourth floor, they immediately headed to the private room.

The private room was huge and luxurious, like a room from a five-star hotel in Ace's previous life.

Beautiful paintings of the ocean and city were hanging on the wall, and a red couch was placed in the middle of the room.

There was a small wooden table in front of the sofa, and an ice bucket filled with beverages was placed on top of it.

Two large windows decorated with red curtains were located behind the couch, and a small plant was placed in the right corner of the room.

The room was cozy and also equipped with soundproof magic, so no one would be able to hear their conversation.

After sitting on the couch, Allan inquired, "Friend, can you give me the answer now?"

Allan was sitting between the mature lady and his bodyguard, while Ace, Scarlett and Layla were on the opposite side of him.

"What if I said I got this token from you?" Ace did not tell Allan immediately that Cain was his other identity.

"I don't remember giving you that token and I believe this is our first meeting." Allan was sure that he had never met Ace before.

"No. This is not our first meeting, but our second meeting." After saying that, Ace retrieved Transformation Mask from his space ring.

The expression of deep shock blossomed on Allan's face when Ace changed his appearance.

Ace was currently using his grandpa's appearance when he was still young.

"I introduced myself as Cain when you asked my name at our first meeting." Ace told Allan the reason why he changed his appearance a few days ago.

And in order to make Allan believe him, he told Scarlett to take out her mask and black robe from her space ring.

Because Ace and Scarlett were able to explain in detail what happened to him when they first met in the forest, Allan decided to believe them.

"So, what happened to the Black Tiger organization?" Allan asked curiously because the Black Tiger organization was quite famous in Herora city.

"I killed all the members of the Black Tiger organization." Ace gave an honest answer.

"You destroyed the Black Tiger organization?" Allan was taken aback by Ace's words because the Black Tiger organization was a powerful organization.

"Yes." Ace responded calmly as if destroying an organization was a small thing for him.

"Then are the rumors about you and the Hudson family true?" Allan threw another question at Ace.

"Yes, the rumors are true. I killed Cale and David at Cove of Fragments ruins." Ace gave an honest answer again. "They kept giving me trouble, so I decided to kill them."

"I see." Even though he did not show it on his face, Allan was amazed by Ace's braveness.

He believed they were the same age, but Ace was able to kill David and destroy the Black Tiger organization.

This showed one meaning.

Ace was an awakener at Master rank!

An eighteen years old awakener at the Master rank!

Something like this was very rare, and only powerful organizations or families could produce a genius like Ace.

'Wait! Wasn't he carrying a staff and sword when we first met?'

He suddenly wanted to know whether Ace was a Rheanix or not.

Because he could not hold back the curiosity in his heart, Allan inquired, "Are you a Rheanix?"

Ace was taken aback by Allan's question. "Why do you want to know about it?"

"If my memory isn't playing tricks on me, you carried a staff and sword when we met in the forest. That's why I suddenly want to know whether you are a Rheanix or not?" Allan responded, "Don't worry. I promise with my life that I won't tell a single soul about our conversation in this room. My subordinate and bodyguard also won't tell anyone about this."

"So, you are curious because of that, huh?" after saying that, Ace used his Ice Clone magic.

One ice clone suddenly appeared on Ace's right side. He was a unique magician now, so he could use magic without chanting. That was why he could still sit on the couch.

"At that time, a gorgeous mature lady suggested a bad idea to me." Ace's clone spoke as he walked around them. "That was why I carried a sword and a staff when we met."

Scarlett wanted to pinch Ace's waist after hearing his words because he said her idea was bad.

However, she decided not to do that because they were in front of Allan. And Ace also said she was a gorgeous lady, so she decided to forgive him.

Allan, the mature lady and his bodyguard turned their heads toward Ace's clone after hearing his words.

'Another him?'

Allan knew it was clone magic because he was also a mage.

'Wait!'

He returned his attention to the real Ace.

'He is a unique magician too?!'

Ace could use clone magic without chanting a magic spell, so he knew Ace was a unique magician like him.

Austyn only spread rumors that a young man succeeded in becoming a unique magician after visiting Goddess Teressa's Orphanage, but he did not say it was Ace.

That was why Allan did not know the rumored unique magician was Ace.

'Not only is he a Rheanix, but he is also a unique magician. I have to build good relationship with him.'

His businessman mind suddenly kicked in because having a good relationship with someone like Ace could bring him many advantages.

Ace's clone melted into water because he was no longer needed.

Allan suddenly remembered that he still did not know Ace's real name. "Because you introduced yourself with a fake identity when we first met, can you tell me your real name now?"

"My name is Ace. I'm from Nightshire city." Of course, Ace knew what Allan had in mind because he was used to seeing that kind of expression and behavior.

His grandpa was the Ruler, and his family was the richest in China, so countless people always wanted to build a good relationship with him.

That was why he could tell what Allan had in mind. And he agreed to build a relationship with Allan because he only had Layla and Scarlett as his backers.

"Allan is my real name, brother Ace." Allan changed the way he addressed Ace from friend to brother because he wanted to build a good relationship with Ace. "Then, they are…."

"I'm Scarlett, his suga-" Scarlett stopped her words halfway before finally correcting it. "I live with him and we have been living together for five years."

"What?! Living together for five years?" Allan said in surprise. "Are you his girlfriend?"
