Countless raindrops were wetting the ground, and the moon was hiding behind the black clouds.

Ace and Scarlett were currently in his room, lying on the bed. After having dinner together, they headed to his room to cuddle because cuddling on rainy days felt good.

"Monster subjugation?" Ace was startled after hearing her words.

"Yes." She said they would go to Red Ogre village to kill them.

"Scarlett, let me participate in this monster subjugation." There was one reason why he suddenly wanted to participate in the monster subjugation.

He wanted to show everyone that he was no longer weak!

He believed many people would participate in the monster subjugation, so this was an excellent opportunity to show everyone how strong he was.

"Why do you want to participate in this monster subjugation?" actually, she had guessed the reason, but she wanted to hear it directly from his mouth.

"There are two reasons." He spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "First, I want to protect you from magical creatures, and last, I want to show everyone that I'm no longer weak."

At first, he wanted to lie to her, but he changed his mind after seeing her expression.

He was sure she already knew his real intention of wanting to participate in the monster subjugation.

That was why he decided to give an honest answer.

"Sure. I will let you participate later." Ace was strong, so she did not mind letting him participate in the monster subjugation.

"Thank you. You are indeed the best." After saying that, he gave her a peck on the lips.

Scarlett's face blossomed into a smile after being kissed by him.

'It seems like he really wants to show everyone that he is no longer weak.'

Of course, she would support him because he was her lover.

"Alright. Let's sleep now." Ace uttered.

"Un." She nodded.

That night, the duo slept happily and had a good dream.

----

The following morning, Ace took a walk after having breakfast with Scarlett. To his surprise, he met Layla when he was in the Rilt district.

"Ace!" Layla ran toward him before finally standing in front of him. "Where do you want to go?"

"I want to buy light and fire magic." Ace told her that light and fire magic would be very helpful if he were in the forest.

He could see his surroundings at night with light magic and create bonfires easily if he had fire magic.

He even could take a hot bath if he had fire magic. These were the reasons why he wanted to buy light and fire magic.

"Follow me. I know where to get light and fire magic." Layla grabbed his right hand and dragged him to a trading house.

Ace did nothing when she suddenly dragged him to a trading house. "Layla, where are we going? I want to go to the Wynn Trading House."

Yes, there was also Wynn Trading house in Nightshire city.

Of course, it was not as big and luxurious as the Wynn Trading house in Herora city because it was one of their branches.

He decided to go to the Wynn Trading house because he had a golden token. Sure, he had a lot of money, but he still loved discounts.

With the help of a golden token, he could get a discount of up to thirty percent. This was the reason why he decided to go to the Wynn Trading house.

Layla stopped her footsteps after hearing his words. "Oh right, you have a golden token. Then let's go to the Wynn Trading house now."

Ace could only sigh when she kept dragging him.

'Can't we just walk slowly?'

That was the question that appeared in his mind.

----

Nightshire city, Conference Building.

The conference building was located in the Xaleft district. It was three hundred meters from Scarlett's house.

The conference building was quite big and luxurious. There was a long wooden table in the middle of the room with twelve chairs around it.

Scarlett and the important figures of Nightshire city were currently discussing monster attacks on the citizens recently.

She also ordered lieutenant Valeria to inform them of the results of her investigations over the past few days.

"I will participate in this monster subjugation." A green-haired man, who was in his fifties, stated.

Even though he was in his fifties, he still looked young, as if he was in his thirties. The name of that mature man was Aron Olson, the family head of the Olson family.

He decided to participate in the monster subjugation because he lost his wife and children when their city was attacked by magical beasts several years ago.

This was the reason why he would happily participate in any event related to killing magical creatures because he hated them the most.

He even trained every single day for the sake of killing all magical creatures because his dream was to wipe them out of this world.

This was the reason why Aron never seduced Scarlett until now because his mind was full of hatred for magical creatures.

A married couple in their fifties exchanged a glance with each other. The husband had red hair, while the wife had long black hair.

The name of the husband was Alvaro Ruiz, while the wife's name was Melissa Ruiz.

After thinking for several seconds, Alvaro and his wife nodded. "We will also participate in this monster subjugation."

"I will participate too." A gorgeous lady spoke abruptly.

This beautiful lady had long blue hair and green eyes. Even though she was already forty-five years old, many men desired to sleep with her.

This attractive lady was famous in Nightshire city because she owned the biggest and most popular entertainment house.

The name of that pretty lady was Lexie Rivas, an awakener at Master rank.

Actually, all of them were at Master rank. Scarlett invited them because they were strong and influential in her city.

Scarlett shifted her gaze from Lexie to a grown man in his sixties. "Henry, what about you?"

Henry Howard was a mage at Master rank. He had red hair and blue eyes. He hated Ace to the bone because Ace could live with Scarlett.

Yes, he loved Scarlett!

Because of how big his desire to become her husband, the flames of anger always welled up in him whenever he saw Ace.

Of course, he always managed to control himself because he did not want Scarlett to hate him.

"Scarlett, you don't need to ask him because we all know that he will participate in this monster subjugation." After saying that, Lexie looked at Henry. "Isn't that right, mister Henry?"

They all knew that Henry liked Scarlett, so they believed he would participate in the monster subjugation.

And what they had guessed was right because Henry decided to participate too. "That's right. I will participate too."

"Alright. We will go kill them tomorrow morning. I want you to bring fifty subordinates with you later." Scarlett knew that they had many subordinates.

The Howard family, the Ruiz family, and the Olson family had one hundred subordinates. As for the Rivas family, they had two hundred subordinates.

This was the reason why Scarlett wanted them to bring fifty subordinates with them tomorrow.

"Alright." Melissa and the others agreed instantly.

"The meeting is over. You guys can go home now." Scarlett uttered.

"Scarlett, how about we go to Zait district to enjoy the beautiful waterfall or lake?" like usual, Henry tried his best to make her fall in love with him.

"No. I'm busy." Scarlett refused without caring about his feelings. "Lieutenant Valeria, follow me. I have an important task for you."

Actually, she did not have any tasks for Valeria. She ordered Valeria to follow her because Henry would keep asking her to go on a date with him if she did not do this.

"Understood, city mistress." Valeria immediately followed Scarlett when Scarlett walked out of the room.

Of course, she knew Scarlett's real intention because this was not the first time she used this method to get rid of Henry.

Henry gritted his teeth.

Even though he was furious, he did not say anything and only stared at Scarlett's back.

'Why do you always refuse to go on dates with me?'

He believed he was much better than Ace.

'Sure, I'm not as handsome as him, but I'm much stronger than him. What's so good about him?'

He still did not know that Ace was a powerful awakener now.

"Mister Henry, I suggest you forget city mistress. She doesn't like you, so you are only wasting your time. This is for your own good." After saying that, Lexie walked out of the conference room.

"No. I won't give up. I'm sure she will fall in love with me in the future." Henry refused to give up because he wanted Scarlett to be his wife.

He was sure he could get married to Scarlett in the future.

'I need to think of a way to get Ace to leave her house.'

Henry went home in annoyance.

----

Scarlett's House, Terrace.

Ace and Layla were currently sitting on the wooden chairs. He was delighted because he could get light and fire magic.

"Are you planning to go on an adventure again?" Layla asked curiously.

"I don't know." He bought light and fire magic because it was useful for him.

As Layla was talking with Ace, Scarlett, and Valeria arrived at her house.

At first, Scarlett wanted to run and jump into his arms, but she changed her mind because Valeria was with her. "I'm home."
