Binding System-Chapter 257 Kill Them!

257 Kill Them!

Ace turned his head toward the source of the sound.

'Aunty Lexie?'

He saw an adorable kid running toward them with a big smile on her face.

The kid had long black hair and emerald eyes.

Due to how adorable she was, anyone who saw her would like her immediately, including Ace.

'Is this kid lady Lexie's niece?'

He shifted his gaze from the kid to Lexie.

When the kid was close to her, Lexie squatted down and smiled, "Do you like this place, Alena?"

Previously, one of Lexie's subordinates brought Alena to the city guard headquarters because Alena said she was bored at home and wanted to play with Lexie.

This was the reason why she was at the training ground because she was with Lexie.

"Un. I like this place." After nodding her head cutely, Alena looked at Ace. "Are you big brother Ace?"

"Yes. I'm Ace." actually, he was startled when Alena suddenly talked to him, but he did not show it on his face.

"Thank you for saving me." Alena knew that she could get rid of the poison in her body because Ace helped Lexie get a purple lotus.

Ace was shocked again.

'Saving her? When did I save her?'

He suddenly remembered what Lexie had said about her niece's condition.

'I see. So, that purple lotus was to save this kid, huh?'

He was glad that Alena was fine now.

"You are welcome." Ace smiled softly.

"Big brother, can you do something for me?" Alena inquired.

"What is it?" Ace asked curiously.

"Can you help and protect Auntie Lexie from now on?" Alena uttered.

Ace was shocked by Alena's request because he previously thought she wanted something like a snack or candy.

'Why did she ask me to help and protect Lady Lexie?'

That was the question that appeared in his mind.

Like Ace, Lexie was also startled.

However, she did not say anything and only stared at her niece and Ace.

"Sure." Even though he did not know the reason why Alena wanted him to help and protect Lexie, he decided to agree.

Alena immediately looked at Lexie and uttered, "Auntie Lexie, I've got someone who will help and protect you from now on."

"Thank you." Lexie smiled softly.

Alena returned her attention to Ace. "Big brother, I will give you Auntie Lexie if you keep your promise."

Ace almost coughed because he did not expect her to say something like that.

Like Ace, Lexie was also shocked, but she did not say anything again.

Because a good opportunity to tease Lexie arose, Ace brought his face closer to Lexie's right ear before finally whispering, "Lady Lexie, your niece has given you to me. You are mine now."

Lexie's lips curled up into a smile. "What?! You want to take advantage of the situation now?"

When Ace was about to say something, Alena inquired, "What are you whispering about?"

"Nothing." Ace responded, "Alena, where are your parents?"

Lexie instantly widened her eyes and looked at him.

Ace was shocked.

'What is it? Did I do something wrong?'

He did not know why Lexie suddenly behaved like that.

"Auntie Lexie said my parents went to heaven. I will go to heaven when I grow up. I can't wait to grow up because I really want to play with my mother and father." Alena was still a kid, so she did not understand everything.

Ace suddenly felt sad for Alena.

'Alena…'

He finally knew the reason why Lexie suddenly behaved like that.

"Alena, how about we take a walk around the city together? We can buy snacks and eat together later." He didn't want to make her sad, so he wanted to show her around the city.

"Un." Alena nodded her head happily.

After holding her small hand, Ace uttered, "Let's go."

"Big brother, let's go to the park and eat the snacks there." Alena uttered.

"Sure." Ace responded.

Lexie, who saw them from behind, smiled softly.

'Thank you, Ace.'

She was pleased when she saw Alena's happy face.

When Alena realized that Lexie was not following them, she uttered, "Auntie Lexie, why are you still there?"

"I'm coming." After saying that, Lexie walked toward them.

And then, the trio began to stroll around the city together.

----

The following day, Henry and his subordinates traveled to Framingburns forest. Of course, they had no intention of helping Scarlett protect Nightshire City.

They went to Framingburns forest because they wanted to cooperate with magical beasts.

Yes!

only brought six people with him.

21:19

They wanted to help magical beasts destroy Nightshire City!

"My lord, are you sure you don't want to bring more subordinates? What if these magical beasts attack us later?" Liam believed they would die if these magical beasts attacked them because Henry only brought six people with him.

"Don't worry. I know what to do." Henry believed they could cooperate with Dezmavas and the others later.

Liam did not say anything anymore and only followed Henry from behind.

'I hope your plan will succeed, my lord.'

He had no other choice but to believe in Henry.

As they were heading to the Framingburns forest, several magical beasts attacked the city guards. ｂｅ𝚍𝚗ｏｖｅ𝚕．𝚗𝚎𝚝

"Agghh…"

"Agghh…"

"Agghh…"

Six magical beasts were beating up fifteen city guards.

Even though they outnumbered these magical beasts, they did not have the upper hand in the fight because one of these magical beasts was already at 3-star.

"Haha. Beat them! Avenge our brother who they killed yesterday." The 3-star Puma ordered his subordinates to beat the city guards continuously.

"Aggh…" like before, the city guards cried out in pain.

As they were beating the city guards, Henry and his subordinates approached them.

The 3-star Puma instantly looked at Henry.

His subordinates stopped beating the city guard and stared at Henry too.

They still did not know Henry's intentions, so they thought Henry and his subordinates were their enemies.

The city guards were pleased when they saw Henry and his subordinates.

"Henry, beat them!"

"Henry, kill these damn beasts!"

"Henry, did you come to save us?"

"Henry, please help us."

A glimmer of hope for survival emerged.

Henry was an awakener at Master rank, and all of his subordinates were powerful, so they believed Henry and his subordinates could kill these magical beasts.

The 3-star Puma and its underlings instantly showed their fangs.

All of them were ready to attack Henry and his subordinates because they thought Henry came to save these city guards.

To their surprise, Henry did not take out his staff from his space ring and only stood in front of the 3-star Puma.

"I want to meet your lord." Henry went straight to the point. "I want to cooperate with your lord to destroy Nightshire City."

Even though Scarlett's subordinates were next to him, Henry still said it because these city guards would die soon.

"What?! Cooperate?"

"Henry, you want to cooperate with these damn magical beasts?"

"Traitor! Die traitor!"

One of the city guards rushed toward Henry.

Bang!

Liam kicked that city guard hard.

"How dare you try to attack my lord?" Liam uttered.

The 3-star Puma smiled.

'Interesting.'

He did not expect something like that to happen.

"You said you wanted to meet my lord and cooperate with us, right?" the 3-star Puma uttered.

"Yes." Henry responded.

"Then prove to me that you are not lying." The Puma uttered.

"What do you want me to do?" Henry inquired.

The Puma smiled before finally pointing at the city guard. "Kill them! I want you to kill them now."
