Binding System

Chapter 67 Cove Of Fragments Ruins

?Cale was walking in the direction of his family's tent. His face was pale, and blood kept coming out of his wounds.

'Damn it! I will tell my elder brother after arriving at our tents. I'm sure big brother can kill him later.'

He only used his clothes as a bandage, so he could not stop the bleeding completely.

'Fuck! I'm starting to feel dizzy.'

Not only did he feel dizzy, but his body was getting weaker and weaker.

He could not drink his Health Potion because Ace had taken his space ring. This was the main reason why he hated Ace to the bone.

'No! I can't die here. I still haven't gotten my revenge on him. I can't die.'

He tried his best to keep walking.

After walking for several minutes, he finally reached his family's tent.

He immediately fell unconscious after reaching his family's tent. Luckily, his family's subordinates saw him.

"Bring young master Cale to the tent." One of the Hudson family's subordinates uttered, "I will inform sir David now."

David, Cale's elder brother, rushed to Cale's tent after his subordinate said his younger brother was injured.

David had blue hair and red eyes. Even though he was already thirty-five years old, but he still looked young.

"Cale, what happened to you?" David's face turned worried when he saw his younger brother's condition.

"Big brother…" Cale, who was being treated by his subordinate, turned his head to look at his elder brother. "It's like this…."

He began explaining everything. Of course, he did not tell his elder brother that he peeked at Scarlett bathing earlier.

He told his elder brother that Ace suddenly attacked him when he was strolling around the waterfall.

In short, he mixed truth with lies!

"What?!" David smoldered with resentment. "Don't worry. We will take revenge on him later."

"Elder brother, I want him dead." Cale was pleased when his elder brother said he would help him take revenge later. "He has cut off my right arm, so we have to kill him!"

"Yes. We will kill him later." David stated.

Cale's lips curled up into a grin.

'Just you wait. I will kill you later.'

----

Ace and Scarlett were walking together. They did not hold hands this time because she told him to pretend to be a young master from a big organization.

She also wore her black robe and silver mask because her role was as his bodyguard.

"There are so many people here. Is there any treasure in this place?" he was curious as to why many people gathered in one place.

'System, scan this area.'

He asked his system to scan the area continuously.

[Host, the name of this ruin is Cove of Fragments.]

The system told him that no treasure was found around him, so the treasure must be far away from him.

"I don't know. Let's go to the center of ruins." Scarlett was also curious about it.

The duo followed the crowd in front of them. After walking for about ten minutes, they saw a huge gate next to two giant statues.

"It seems like the center of the ruins is behind that huge gate." Scarlett spoke abruptly.

"Let's go." Ace was thrilled because there was a possibility of him getting a treasure later.

"Who are these two people? Where do they come from?"

"I don't know. I have never seen them before."

"Don't they know only certain families and organizations can pass through the gate?"

"It seems like they don't know anything about the rules in this place."

"It seems so."

"I suddenly feel sorry for them because I'm sure the people from three families and organizations will beat them up later."

"To be honest, I hate these three families and organizations because they forbid us to enter the gate."

"Me too."

"Well, we can't do anything about it."

"Sigh. This world is so unfair for people like us."

"That's right. This world is so unfair."

The center of the ruins could only be entered by the three families and organizations.

These three families and organizations were the Hudson family, Holland family, Fraser family, Black Tiger organization, Misty Palace, and Blue Rose organization.

Ace and Scarlett were not from these families or organizations, so these people were sure they would get beaten up later.

'Hmm?'

Ace skimmed his surroundings after he passed through the gate.

'It seems like this area is indeed the center of the ruins.'

He saw a few ruined buildings on his right side and a stone cliff in front of him.

As he was skimming his surroundings, two people walked closer to him.

"Leave this place now!" the red-haired man knew that Scarlett and Ace did not belong to the three families and organizations.

"You two are not allowed to be in this area." The blue-haired man added. "Leave!"

"What right do you have to say that?" of course, Ace was not afraid of them. "Is this place yours?"

"It seems like we have to teach you a lesson now." the red-haired man and the blue-haired man rushed toward Ace.

Their intention was clear.

They wanted to beat him up!

However, they got beaten up by him before they could even attack him because they were much weaker than him.

Bang!

Bang!

Ace kicked them hard.

"Uakk…" blood splashed out of their mouths as they were thrown ten meters back.

"Presumptuous! How dare you injure my subordinates!" a blue-haired man in his mid-thirties jumped in front of Ace.

He wore white leather armor and a silver gauntlet. From his aura, anyone could tell that he was an awakener at Master rank.

That mature man was none other than David Hudson, Cale's elder brother.

Of course, he still did not know that Ace was the one who cut off his younger's brother right arm.

"Your subordinates were the ones who attacked me first. I only defended myself." Ace behaved normally.

'System, analyze him.'

He added in his mind.

The system instantly analyzed David's strengths.

----

Name: David Hudson

Race: Human

Age: 35

Class: Knight

Rank: Master

Talent: Grade C

Strength: Lvl. 42

Agility: Lvl. 41

Stamina: Lvl. 41

Mana Capacity: Lvl 42

----

'Even though he is already at Master rank, but his stats level is only at level 41 and 42.'

He suddenly thought that David broke through to Master rank not long ago because the minimum level for Master rank was level 41 in terms of strength, agility, stamina, and mana capacity.

Even though they were at the same rank, but his stats was much better than his.

David was unhappy with Ace's words. "Don't you know that not everyone is allowed to come to this area?"

At this moment, the people from two families and three organizations turned their heads to look at Ace and Scarlett.

'Who are they?'

That was the question that appeared in their minds.

They did not help David immediately. Even though they had made an agreement two days ago, but they were not allies.

An old man who was standing in front of the stone door spoke in annoyance, "Can't you guys just shut up for a second? I need concentration to solve the mystery so that I can open this stone door. How can I solve this mystery if you keep disturbing me?"

That old man was Jimmy. He was a powerful awakener from the Xiriel Kingdom.

In the Luvrela region, there were three kingdoms; the kingdom of Xiriel, the kingdom of Veasal, and the kingdom of Ocaven.

The Kingdom of Xiriel was located in the north, while the kingdom of Veasal was located in the south.

As for the kingdom of Ocaven, it was located in the western part of the Luvrela region.

The three families and organizations invited him to open the stone door because he was famous for his intelligence.

David looked at the other families and organizations. "Everyone, these two people did not want to leave this area and injured my subordinates. Are you sure you don't want to take action on them?"

Ace and Scarlett looked at the people from two families and three organizations. Even though they were powerful, but the strongest among them was only at Master rank.

This was the reason why Scarlett and Ace did not show the slightest fear in their eyes because they were at Master rank too.

Previously, they ran away from the Black Tiger organization because they only had a little stamina left.

Now he decided to take the risk because there was a treasure in that place. And based on how many people had come to that place, he was sure it was no ordinary treasure.

The people from two families and three organizations did not attack Ace and Scarlett immediately.

Even though Scarlett was wearing a black robe, they could still tell her rank because they had a special tool to check other awakeners' strength.

The black robe was not as good as Concealment skill, so it was normal if they knew how strong she was.

'It's too early to take high-risk action.'

Even if they managed to defeat Ace and Scarlett, they would be at a disadvantage when they looked for treasure.

This was the reason why they decided to observe the situation first. Of course, they were not afraid of Ace and Scarlett.

Cale, who had just arrived at the center of the ruins, gritted his teeth when he caught sight of Ace.

He rushed toward his elder brother before finally speaking, "Elder brother, it's him! He is the one who cut off my right arm!"

Ace was shocked.

'Oh, isn't he that peeping tom?'

He did not expect to meet Cale so soon like that.

"Was he the one who peeked at me when I was taking a bath?" Scarlett threw a question to Ace.

"Yes." Ace nodded his head. "It's him."

"What?! It's him?!" David was even angrier.

"Elder brother, kill him! Kill him now!" Cale's eyes were bloodshot.

David walked closer to Ace before finally speaking, "You injured my subordinates and cut off my younger brother's right arm. Tell me, how do you want to solve this problem?"

Of course, he would kill Ace later. He just wanted to take advantage of the situation first, like making Scarlett his toy or something like that.

Even though she was wearing a black robe, anyone could tell how sexy she was. And based on her appearance, he was sure she was a great beauty.

[Several divine beings are excited by the unexpected turn of events.]

[God of Wine and Ecstasy is watching the event with interest.]

[The Great Sage, The Equal of Heaven wants to see an action-packed fight.]

[Goddess of War is glancing at you.]

[Ding! Aeris is the title given to those chosen and loved by heaven. Kill all your enemies and show everyone how amazing an Aeries is, and the Host will be rewarded randomly.]

Ace's heart leaped up for joy when he read the target mission because the system did not give him any quest when he fought against bandits or magical beasts.

Ace returned his attention to David before answering, "Mister, we did not kill your subordinates or your younger brother before."

"Haha." David laughed because he thought Ace was afraid of him. "Boy, you want to ask for forgiveness?! It's already too late now."

"What I mean is I did not have time to kill your subordinates or your younger brother before." After saying that, Ace swung his sword twice, sending two huge waves of energy at Cale and David's subordinate.

Yes, he used his Moon Slice skill to attack them!

Cale and his subordinate had no time to block or dodge his attacks because Ace gave them a surprise attack.

"Agh..." They were thrown three meters back before finally falling to the ground, died.

David's eyes dilated when he saw his younger brother's corpse in front of him. "Cale!"

The people from two families and three organizations were stunned.

'What?! He dared to kill them?'

They thought Ace would not dare to do anything to David and the others, but they were wrong.

[The Great Sage, The Equal of Heaven grabs his golden cudgel and smashes it against the ground, saying fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight.]

[God of Wind nods his head in satisfaction.]

[Several divine beings are starved for blood and violence.]

Most of divine beings were excited.

After killing Cale and his family subordinate, Ace continued his words, "Now, I will kill you and all your subordinates."
