Binding System

Ace was not surprised by her words because he was using Gracie's appearance.

For this reason, he took off the Transformation Mask. "I'm not Gracie. I'm someone who will free you from this dungeon."

Eva widened her eyes for a second when she saw his real face. "Who are you?"

"I'm Ace. Goddess Teressa sent me to free you from this place." He used Goddess Teressa's name because, with this, Eva would believe him easily.

Goddess Teressa did not say anything because he did not use her name to commit a crime.

"Has the goddess Teressa finally answered our prayers?" she did not know why, but she believed his words immediately.

Her instinct told her that Ace was not a bad person and he was telling the truth.

"Yes. That's why I'm here." After saying that, Ace destroyed the prison padlock.

'Her condition is really bad.'

He added in his head.

After stepping into the jail, he took a health potion and gave it to her. "Here, drink this Health Potion first."

Eva immediately drank the health potion.

Even though it could not completely heal her injuries,  but her condition was much better after drinking it.

At this moment, Ace suddenly had a good idea. For this reason, he changed his appearance to Eva's before finally using his Ice Clone magic.

Eva widened her eyes in surprise when she saw his ice clone.

'He is a mage. And a unique magician on top of that.'

She trusted Ace even more because only people chosen by Goddess Teressa could become unique magicians.

After taking off his Transformation mask, he immediately freed Eva from the chains that bound her feet.

"Let's get out of this place now." Ace uttered.

"Alright." She nodded.

Before leaving the dungeon, Ace told his clone to pretend to be Eva. After that, he used Gracie's appearance again because, with this, they could leave the orphanage easily.

Goddess Teressa also helped them cover everything. Gracie and the dungeon guards would not know what happened even if they checked Eva's prison.

As Eva was being carried by Ace up in the sky, she looked at the orphanage. Actually, she still found it hard to believe what was happening.

She was imprisoned by Gracie in the dungeon for two years. She thought she would die in the dungeon because she knew Gracie hated her to the bone.

She just did not expect a young man would come and save her. Of course, she was happy because she finally could get out of that hellish place.

When Scarlett and Layla noticed Ace in the sky, they immediately nodded their heads and returned to the inn.

Ace's clones melted into water when they returned to the Crimson Sanctum Inn because their task was already over.

After reaching the inn, they told Eva to take a bath. She did not take a shower for two years, so they knew she must be feeling uncomfortable.

As Eva was taking a bath, Ace and the others waited in the living room.

"Ace, what did you see in the underground prison?" Layla asked curiously.

"Many people are imprisoned in the dungeon." Ace gave an honest answer. "I could not free them all because it would be hard to leave the orphanage."

"You made the right decision, Ace." Scarlett uttered, "Even though we can't save them today, but we will free them from the dungeon after killing Gracie."

"That's what I previously thought." He intended to free them after killing Gracie.

As they were chatting, Eva walked out of the bathroom. Her body was clean, and her long black hair was neatly styled.

She was wearing a white T-shirt and a black skirt. Of course, it was not her clothes. Previously, Scarlett gave her one of her clothes because Eva did not have clean attire.

Even though the size of the clothes did not fit her body, Eva did not mind it. At least she had something to wear.

After sitting on the couch, Eva thanked Ace again. "Young man, thank you for saving me."

Ace smiled softly before finally nodding his head. "Actually, Daniel and Lisa were the ones who asked us to save you first."

"Daniel and Lisa?" of course, Eva knew them. "How are they? Did Gracie do something bad to them?"

"They are fine now, but yesterday…." Ace began explaining everything.

Eva's blue eyes were filled with tears when she found out that Daniel and the others suffered every day.

Sure, she also suffered in the dungeon, but Daniel and the others were still kids. They shouldn't have suffered because they were children.

"Mrs Eva, please don't be sad. We promise we will save the kids later." Ace tried to calm her.

"That's right." Scarlett and Layla added in unison. "We will save them later."

"I'm sorry for crying." After saying that, Eva wiped off her tears.

"Mrs Eva, can you tell us about Gracie?" Ace inquired.

Lisa and Daniel only told them that Gracie was an evil woman. They did not tell him about her personal information, like where she was from or something like that.

That was why he wanted to know about Gracie's personal information.

"She is from Goddess Teressa's Temple." Eva started talking about Gracie.

She told them that Gracie was sent by Goddess Teressa's temple to be the guardian of the orphanage.

However, she hated serving people weaker than her. After arriving at the orphanage, all she cared about was money and money.

One day, Gracie had an excellent idea to get a lot of money without working hard.

And that idea was to use the orphans to get the visitors' money!

This was the reason why she decided to take over the orphanage and snatch Eva's position because, with this, she could use the orphans to get a lot of money.

"Gracie is also an awakener at Eliter rank." Eva spoke and paused for a second before she continued, "She awakened Mage class and has a lot of fighting experience."

She also said Gracie cooperated with Austyn to carry out her sinister plan.

Ace and the others were not surprised by this information because Daniel and Lisa had told them about this yesterday.

That was why they could still calm.

However, their relaxed expressions instantly changed to expressions of surprise when Eva told them that Gracie had an illegal business with the Hudson family.

"What?! The Hudson family?" Scarlett and Layla said in surprise.

"Yes." Eva nodded her head. "Gracie is doing human trafficking business with the Hudson family."

She said they sold the orphans to someone in secret. And when someone asked where the children were, Gracie would say that a rich family had adopted them.

The Hudson family also protected her. That was why no one knew what they were doing until now.

"Evil woman!" Layla stated. "She doesn't deserve to be called a human!"

"If we want to save the orphans, we have to act carefully." Eva said she had someone who could become their spy.

Her name was Alina. She was one of the caretakers in Goddess Teressa's orphanage.

"Are you sure she can be trusted?" Ace inquired.

"Yes." Eva answered instantly. "Actually, most of the caretakers don't like Gracie because she always does whatever she wants and beats them up. They don't do anything until now because they are waiting for someone to help them."

She then continued, "If we give them a chance to kill Gracie, they will give their full support."

"Where can we meet her?" Scarlett inquired.

"Usually, she goes to the Kaur traditional market at 6:00 am every day." Eva responded.

In the past, Alina went to Kaur traditional market every day. She was in charge of the kitchen, so she went to the traditional market every morning.

"Then let's meet her tomorrow morning," Ace uttered.

They nodded their heads.

The following morning, they traveled to Kaur traditional market. And like what Eva said, they saw Alina buying vegetables in the market.

"It's her!" Eva uttered, "Let's talk to her."

"Alright." Layla and the others responded.

Alina was shocked when she saw Eva because she should be in the dungeon.

For this reason, she tried to run away from them because she thought someone was using Eva's appearance.

Alina could calm herself after Eva explained everything to her. After proving that she was Eva, Alina finally believed them.

Alina agreed to be their spy because she hated Gracie to the bone.

Ace told her that she could meet them at Crimson Sanctum Inn if she had important information.

After that, Ace and the others left.

Goddess Teressa's Orphanage, Gracie's Bedroom.

Two mature people were sitting on the bed, naked. The grown man had an ordinary face, while the mature lady had a pretty face.

Even though they were not a married couple, they still did something that could give them pleasure.

Sex!

Yes, they just had sex!

These two mature people were none other than Gracie and her business partner, Darwin.

Even though Darwin was already married, Gracie still agreed to have sex with him. There were a few reasons for this.

First, they were business partners. Second, he was the head of the Hudson family. Third, he was an awakener at Master rank and last, he was skilled in bed.

These were the reasons why she never refused whenever he desired to have sex with her.

Of course, the main reason was that he was skilled in bed because Austyn could never satisfy her.

When Gracie saw Darwin's expression, she inquired, "What are you thinking about?"

Instead of answering her question, he asked, "Do you know about Ace?"
