Henry's House, Living Room.

Henry was currently talking with Lala and Lily in the living room. Lala and Lily were twins and from an evil group. 

He decided to hire them because the results of his investigation led to Ace being involved in the death of his second son.

Even though he did not have strong evidence, but there was a high possibility of Ace being the mastermind of his son's death.

This was the reason why he hired Lala and Lily because he wanted to kill Ace.

And killing Ace would also give him another benefit.

If Ace died, it would be easier for him to get Scarlett.

It was like killing two birds with one stone.

That was why he hired Lily and Lala to kill Ace because he could not do it by himself. He believed he would be unable to make Scarlett his lover or wife if he killed Ace. 

And his first son still had not returned home, so he had no choice but to hire Lily and Lala to kill Ace.

"So, he is our target, huh?" Lily said as she saw the portrait of Ace.

"Tell us more about him because it can help us later." Lala wanted to know more about Ace because it could help them kill him.

"He is eighteen years old and an awakener at Master rank." Henry spoke and paused for a second before continuing, "He awakened Knight and Mage classes. You must be careful when dealing with him because he has tier-5 magic."

"What?! He is a Rheanix?!" Lala and Lily said in surprise.

They were shocked because their target was someone loved by the heavens.

Even though they had killed awakeners at Master rank before, but all of them were only ordinary awakeners.

This was the reason why they were stunned because something like this had never happened before.

Of course, they were not afraid of him. 

They were just shocked earlier.

"Yes." Henry gave an honest answer. "That is why I hope you can kill him later."

Ace was a Rheanix, someone who was loved by the heavens. 

He must not give Ace time to grow, or else he would regret it in the future. After all, Ace was a special person. He even reached Master rank at the age of eighteen.

"Alright. We will kill him." Lala stated.

After getting information about Ace, Lala and Lily left.

----

"Haha."

"I'm so excited right now."

"Me too."

"My hands are even trembling from excitement."

"I hope we will get many beast cores later."

"I'm sure we will return to our base with many beast cores."

"I think so too."

Scarlett's subordinates chatted as they laughed.

Scarlett, Ace and her seventy-one subordinates were currently heading to Framingburns forest for training.

Even though they were heading to a dangerous place, none of them felt afraid, as if they would go on a vacation.

"They are so fearless!" Ace stated.

"They have become city guards for more than five years, so it's normal." Captain Noah, who was riding a horse next to Ace, responded, "They have done this training more than five times, so they are treating it like normal training."

At this moment, Ace suddenly remembered how hard his training was. Due to how hard it was, he almost fainted from training many times.

'I feel embarrassed when I remember it.'

His father and grandpa were so cruel when they trained him.

But even so, he did not hate them because he could become a powerful martial artist thanks to them.

'I suddenly miss them.'

He could only sigh because they were in a different world now.

"What's wrong, Ace?" Scarlett inquired.

"Nothing." He smiled as he responded.

"Just tell me if you need something." She uttered.

"Alright." He responded.

After traveling for two hours, they finally reached their destination.

They did not hunt magical beasts immediately; instead, they set up their tents and had lunch together.

Fighting magical beasts on an empty stomach was a bad idea, so they had lunch after setting up their tents.

After eating, Scarlett told Ace and Lieutenant Valeria to go to the conference tent.

"What's wrong?" he asked curiously.

Ace, Scarlett and Lieutenant Valeria were currently sitting on wooden chairs. A rectangular table with a map of the Framingburn forest was in front of them.

"We will discuss how we train them." Scarlett responded.

Ace and Lieutenant Valeria paid attention to Scarlett's words carefully. 

"First, we will divide them into three groups; group A, group B and group C. And last, we will let them hunt magical beasts in turn." Scarlett explained her plan to them.

She said one of the groups should stay to protect their camp, so only two groups would be hunting magical beasts daily.

Of course, they would protect the camp in turn because, with this, each group had a chance to hunt magical beasts.

"Group A will protect the camp today, while group B and group C will hunt magical beasts." Scarlett spoke and paused for a second before she continued, "Tomorrow, group B will protect the camp, while group A and group C will hunt magical beasts. The group guarding the camp will take turns every day until the training is over."

"Good idea!" Ace and Lieutenant Valeria agreed with Scarlett's idea.

"Now, let's discuss who will be in group A, B and C." Scarlett uttered.

After several minutes of discussion, they finally divided Scarlett's subordinates into groups A, B, and C.

Ace was the protector of group C and group C only had ten people.

Scarlett only put ten people in group C because she thought Ace had no experience being a protector, so she put less people in his group. 

Lieutenant Valeria was the protector of group B. Unlike group C, group B had many people. It had thirty people.

Scarlett was the protector of group A. Like group B, group A also had thirty people. 

In other words, Ace's job was the easiest among them!

Was he angry at Scarlett?

No!

He could understand her decision because, in her eyes, he had no experience in military matters.

'Well, protecting less people is easier.'

He added in his head.

"Ace, your job is to lure 1-star and 2-star magical beasts to your group." Scarlett uttered, "And don't help them if they are not in a life-and-death situation."

"Alright." Ace responded.

Shortly after that, they walked out of the conference tent.

Scarlett immediately told her subordinates who were in groups A, B, and C. 

"Members of group C go to Ace." Scarlett uttered, "Members of group B go to Lieutenant Valeria, while members of group A stand in front of me."

They immediately walked toward Ace, Scarlett and Lieutenant Valeria.

Ace looked at the group C members standing in front of him.

'I don't know any of them!'

Even though he had chatted with many of Scarlett's subordinates, but he had never talked with any of group C members.

Of course, he knew their names because he could see their stats with the help of his system.

'But this group is not bad.'

Among the ten people, five of them were knights.

Two of them were mages, while the rest were archers. This was the reason why Ace thought group C was not bad.

'Should we discuss our strategy now?'
