325 Second Wave

'What?!'

The expression of deep shock blossomed on Ace's face when he saw his wanted poster.

'I'm a wanted person?'

He found it hard to believe what he was seeing.

Sure, he had killed many people, but they were in the wrong, so he was shocked after finding out that he was a wanted person.

When Lexie saw his expression, she inquired, "What's wrong, Ace?"

"Someone put a bounty on my head." Ace gave an honest answer. "I'm a wanted person now." "What?! Let me see it." Lexie was shocked and immediately got out of bed. '10,000 gold coins?'

Like Ace, she was also shocked when she saw Ace's wanted person.

'Wait!'

She finally knew the reason why these awakeners suddenly came to Nightshire City and wanted to kill him.

"It is said that you have destroyed Alselian City and killed many innocent people, so you must be killed in the name of justice." She was enraged because Ace did not kill innocent people. Even though he took their wealth but he let the citizens of Alselian City go without killing them. free(w)ebnov(e)l

He even did not kill them when they spoke ill of him.

So, why did he become a wanted person?

Why was he called the murderer of many innocent people? "This is nonsense!" Lexie stated. "It's clear someone wants you dead, Ace."

"But who is the mastermind?" he tried to remember all his enemies lately.

"I don't know, but I'm sure the mastermind is from a big family or organization because that person can make you a fugitive." Lexie responded, "What are you going to do, Ace? You are not going to leave our city, right?"

She knew Ace always cared about the safety of the citizens and their city, so she hoped he would not leave their city because it would make her sad.

"Let's talk with Colonel Louie and people from three big families." Ace uttered.

"Alright." She responded.

----

Ace and the others were currently in the meeting tent. He called all Scarlett's important subordinates and people from three big families to the meeting tent because he wanted to discuss his wanted poster.

"What?! Someone put a bounty on your head?" Colonel Louie and the others said in surprise. "Yes. Please take a look at this poster." He gave his wanted poster to them.

"Killing innocent people? Didn't we spare the citizens' lives?" Captain Noah was stunned when he knew the reason why Ace became a wanted person.

"This is nonsense!" Lieutenant Alex stated. "We only killed Aidan and his subordinates. When did we kill the citizens?"

"Someone wants Ace dead." Alvaro spoke abruptly. "But who is the mastermind?"

"It's hard to tell, but I'm sure the mastermind has influence in Luvrela region." Ace responded. "What are you going to do about this, Ace?" Aron inquired. "I don't know." Ace shook his head.

"Don't worry, Ace. We will help you kill everyone who is after your head." Captain Noah did not want Ace to die because he was a citizen of Nightshire City.

All citizens of Nightshire City were family, so he would help Ace kill everyone who was after his head.

"Yes. We will help you kill them later." Melissa added.

"Thank you." Ace felt warm when they tried to protect him.

Shortly after they left the meeting tent, all citizens knew about what was going on.

Like Captain Noah and the others, all citizens said they would always support him. Ace was their hero and family.

And he became a wanted person because he avenged their families, so not the slightest thought of driving him away from Nightshire City crossed their minds.

Instead, they tried their best to support and help him because they did not want something bad to happen to him.

"Ace!" Layla rushed toward Ace when she saw him. "Ace, is it true that you are a fugitive now?"

"Yes." Ace nodded his head.

"Ace, I will always be by your side and support you." Layla stated.

"Thank you." Ace smiled softly at her.

After checking Scarlett and Valeria's condition, Ace went to Rainbow Pool. He was a fugitive, so he wanted to get stronger quickly because, with this, he would not put the citizens in danger. 'Luckily, we have this rainbow pool. Otherwise, I can't increase my strength quickly.'

Ace's strength was at level 119.

'Now, I will increase my stamina.'

With that idea in mind, he absorbed the beast core again.

----

The following day, one hundred awakeners came to Nightshire City again. Like the previous group, their goal was the same.

Kill Ace and take his head!

However, this group was different than yesterday's.

Most of them were awakeners at the Master rank. One of them even at the Grandmaster rank.

If a city lord of a small city saw them, that person would feel worried immediately because their power was enough to destroy any small city in the Luvrela Region.

Of course, it was a different story for the citizens of Nightshire City.

Even though many powerful awakeners attacked their barrier, none of them showed the slightest fear in their eyes.

Nightshire City was their hometown and Ace was their hero, so they stood behind the barrier bravely.

Some of them even held their weapons and were ready to fight because they would not let anyone cause trouble in their city or hurt their hero.

No matter what happened, they would not let anyone hurt the citizens of Nightshire City because they were all family.

"It would be better if we could attack them from here." Lieutenant Alex uttered. "It's fine." Captain Noah uttered, "At least, our barrier can protect the citizens."

"They are coming again?" Ace said as he walked toward Captain Noah.

"Ace…" all city guards looked at him.

"Ace, this group is stronger than yesterday's group. I can check their strength except that one person." Colonel Louie pointed his right index finger at the brown-haired man.

"The grown man with a big hummer on his back?" Ace uttered.

"Yes." Colonel Louie responded, "If he doesn't hide his strength, then he should be at least Grandmaster rank."

Ace immediately checked the brown-haired man's strength.

'Grandmaster rank?'

He did not expect that an awakener at the Grandmaster rank would be interested in 10,000 gold coins because usually, they were all rich. "You are right, Colonel Louie. He is at the Grandmaster rank." after saying that, Ace walked out of the barrier because he was interested in the brown-haired man's space ring.

'I wonder, how rich he is?'

He added in his head.

All awakeners who attacked the barrier, stopped instantly when they caught sight of Ace.

"It's him! It's him!" their eyes immediately turned greedy because a head worth 10,000 gold coins was in front of them.

"Kill him!" the red-haired man roared.

Fifty awakeners dashed toward Ace.

Half of them were at Master rank, while the rest were at Elite rank. They believed they could kill Ace immediately because their combination strength was enough to destroy a small city. However, they were wrong because numbers meant nothing to Ace.

Ace was already at the Exalted rank, so awakeners at the Elite and Master ranks were like ants in his eyes. *Slash…Slash…Slash…

Ace did not use any attack skill to kill them.

He only used the Lightning Move skill because the movement skill and ordinary attack were more than enough to kill them.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

One by one, they fell to the ground, died.

The onlookers were stunned when Ace could kill fifty awakeners in less than thirty seconds.

Half of them were already at the Master rank, so it should not be easy to kill them quickly like that. "They…they died?"

"How? How could he kill them so quickly like that?" "Are my eyes playing tricks on me?"

11:19

They still could not believe what they were seeing.

Sure, they knew Ace was powerful because he could destroy a city, but it was only a small city, so he should not be that powerful.

"Tch! What's so amazing about it?" the brown-haired man with a big hummer on his back spoke abruptly. "They are just a bunch of weaklings, so it's normal if they get killed easily like that." 𝒻𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝑛ℴ𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝑚

He then continued, "I can also kill them in less than a minute if I want to, so don't tremble in fear like that. You are humiliating awakener name."

"It's Owen."

"Owen? Do you mean Owen, the destroyer?"

"Yes. I heard he was really powerful."

"I also heard he destroyed an organization alone last year."

"I know him. I did not expect him to be interested in Ace's bounty too."

"Ace is doomed now."

"You are right. He is doomed!"

They were shocked when they knew Owen was interested in the bounty because they knew he did not lack money.

"Boy, you are unlucky today." Owen stated. "What makes you think I'm unlucky today?" Ace inquired. "Because you will die in my hands today." Owen was a powerful awakener, so he believed he could kill Ace. "I will take your head and I will get that 10,000 gold coins reward today." "Ho? It seems like you are confident in your strength." Even though Owen's words were funny, Ace did not laugh.

"Of course, because I had killed many awakeners like you before." Owen had killed several hundred people in his life and most of them were young awakeners like Ace.

"Then why don't you show me your power now? Because I'm curious whether your strength is as strong as your boast or not." Ace insulted Owen in an elegant manner. "Then, I will grant your dead wish now." after saying that, Owen rushed toward Ace, intending to kill him.
