Binding System-Chapter 227 Carrying Out His Next Plan

The following morning, Ace traveled to his organization headquarters after having breakfast with Scarlett.

Morgan and his two sons would leave Nightshire City soon, so he did not want to waste time.

"I made some changes in our plan." Ace began explaining the new plan.

Ace's new plan was simple.

First, he would create a clone and order his clone to take a walk around his restaurant. With this, everyone would think he was in Nightshire City.

Second, they would leave Nightshire City using different appearances.

Ace would use a Transformation mask to change his appearance, while Renea would use her magic to change his underlings' appearances.

And last, they would pretend to be mountain bandits and kill all members of the Riley family.

He did not want to kill Morgan and his two sons using his real identity because he could deny it if everything were out of his control.

"How many people do you want to bring with you, leader?" Silvia inquired.

"Ten people." Their target was only at Elite rank, so from his point of view, ten people was enough.

Actually, he could kill Morgan and his two sons by himself, but he decided to bring his underlings with him because he wanted to hunt magical beasts after killing their targets.

"That's the new plan. We wil-"Ace stopped his words halfway when Mia suddenly appeared and walked toward him. "How is it?"

"Leader, the target has left the city." Mia responded.

Ace returned his attention to his underlings and uttered, "Let's carry out our mission now." 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎

"Understood, leader." His underlings nodded their heads.

Viviya, Renea, Leena, and seven more people followed Ace while the others headed to his restaurant to protect it.

They changed their appearances first before leaving Nightshire City because it would be suspicious if there were two Ace.

"Don't run. Let's just walk through the entrance." Ace uttered.

"Un." His underlings nodded their heads.

As they were walking through the entrance, Morgan talked with his two sons in their carriage.

He used their biggest carriage, and he also brought thirty subordinates with him because he did not want something bad to happen to them.

"Blake, we won't take revenge on Ace immediately if the healing mage can repair your shattered awakening points because Ace is much harder to deal with." Morgan knew that Ace was not as useless as they had previously thought because Ace could control everything instantly when they dragged him to court.

"I understand, father." Blake also thought they needed to be careful if they wanted to deal with Ace. "Father, I suddenly have a good idea to deal with Ace without interfering."

"Hmm? What is it?" Morgan asked curiously.

"Henry and Leo have a bad relationship with Ace because they suspect that Ace is the mastermind behind Edward's death. So, how about we use them to deal with Ace?" Blake told his father about his idea.

"Haha. Genius! You are indeed the most talented person in our family, Blake. Your idea is amazing!" Morgan agreed instantly because it was a fantastic idea.

"I agreed too!" Alvin added.

"After returning home, we will pit them against one another. Haha." Morgan laughed again after saying this.

"Brother, you are amaz-" Alvin could not finish his words because their carriage suddenly stopped, causing them almost to fall.

"What's going on, Theo? Why did the carriage suddenly stop?" Morgan inquired.

"My lord, there are mountain bandits in front of us." Theo told Morgan the reason why the carriage suddenly stopped.

Morgan immediately checked the situation through the window.

'Bandits?'

Of course, he did not know that these bandits were Ace and his underlings because they had changed their appearances.

Theo, who was still on his horse, uttered, "How dare you stop us! Don't you know who we are?"

"Why should we care about it?" Ace crossed his arms over his chest.

He did not attack them immediately because he was currently pretending to be a mountain bandit.

"That's right." Leena added. "We don't care who you are because we only care about money."

"Tch! Lowly bandits!" Morgan gritted his teeth.

'There are only ten bandits. We can kill them.'

He did not want to waste his time talking with mountain bandits because he wanted to reach Herora City as quickly as possible.

"Kill them!" Morgan ordered his subordinates to kill Ace and his underlings.

He did not want to give them his money because it would be used to pay the healing mage.

"Kill them!" twenty of his subordinates rushed toward Ace and his underlings.

"Kill them." Ace was still crossing his arms over his chest.

He even did not move an inch and just stared at them because he knew his underlings could kill them easily.

And like he had guessed, Morgan's subordinates died one by one when they attacked his underlings.

Morgan, who saw what was going on, widened his eyes.

'How? Aren't they only mountain bandits?'

Previously, he thought his subordinates could kill them easily because, usually, mountain bandits were weak.

This was the reason why he ordered his subordinates to attack them immediately. But after seeing his subordinates dying one by one, he finally realized that he was wrong.

'How can the mountain bandits be this strong?'

All of his subordinates were at Elite rank, but they got killed easily as if they were weak.

"My lord, what should we do now?" Theo inquired.

Morgan did not answer immediately and only clenched his fist.

'What should we do in this situation?'

He tried to find a way to solve the problem.

"Father, we will get killed if this continues." Blake spoke abruptly. "How about we give them some of our money?"

"That's right, father." Alvin added. "Their goal is money. I'm sure they will let us go if we give them some money."

"But that money is to pay for the healing mage. What if we don't have enough money to pay her later?" Morgan did not want his trip to Herora to be in vain.

"But we will get killed if we don't give them money." Blake believed they would get killed if they continued fighting them because their strength difference was like heaven and earth.

Their leader even still had yet to make a move.

If his subordinates were already that strong, he must be much stronger than them.

"Aggh…" Morgan's subordinates screamed in agony before they died because Leena and the others killed them in a brutal way.

"Oh, there are still five people left?" Leena's lips curled up into a grin. "Then I will kill them now."

Before Leena could kill Theo, Morgan and his two sons got out of their carriage.

"Stop!" Morgan uttered.

Leena stopped her footsteps and looked at Ace.

"Oh? So, you finally decided to show yourself, huh?" like before, Ace still crossed his arms over his chest. "Do you have something to say to me?"

"You want money, right?" Morgan spoke.

"That's right." Ace still did not reveal his real intention.

"Will you let us go if I give you some money?" Morgan inquired.

"As long as you give us money, I don't mind letting you go." Ace lied to Morgan.

"I hope you won't break your word." After saying that, Morgan retrieved 200 gold coins from his space ring. "This is all the money I have. You can take it."

"That is not enough." Ace wanted to play with Morgan first before killing him.

"What do you mean by saying it's not enough? This is 200 gold coins. It's a lot of money." Morgan suppressed his anger because he was at a disadvantage.

"Give me your space ring too." after saying that, Ace pointed his right index finger at Blake and Alvin. "Ah, I want their space rings too."

"You!" rage pulsed through his veins after Morgan heard Ace's words.

"Mister, there is nothing valuable in my space ring." Blake suppressed his anger. "There are only my hammer and clothes in my space ring."

"What a coincidence! I also need a hammer because I will renovate my house after this." Ace spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "Ah! My dogs also told me that the weather is hot lately, so I will use your clothes for my dogs."

"Pfft!" a suppressed peal of laughter burst out.

Ace's subordinates did not expect him to have this kind of personality too.

In their eyes, Ace was a genius awakener. They didn't expect that he was also a genius at annoying people.

"You!" rage nearly consumed him after Blake heard Ace's words.

"So, how is it? Do you want to give me your space ring or not?" Ace inquired.
