Binding System-Chapter 72 Everything Is Under His Control

"Like I said, no one can enter this small world before that old man fulfills his promise." Ace forced people from two families and three organizations to help him.

Even though they had a few awakeners at Master rank, he did not show the slightest fear in his eyes because he had a card that could help him protect himself and Scarlett.

"Let me tell you something." Ace spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "My master gave me a defensive formation last month. That formation can only be destroyed by awakener at Grandmaster rank or above."

He then continued, "The strongest among you is only at the Master rank, so you should know what will happen if I activate this defensive formation now."

"Haha." Jimmy laughed because he believed Ace was lying to them. "Everyone, you don't need to be afraid because we don't know if he is telling the truth or not. Maybe he is only bluffing right now."

Ace spoke calmly. "If you don't believe me, you can try attacking me. However, don't blame me if you can't enter the small world or if I will take all the treasure later."

The people from two families and three organizations began to waver. They did not dare to act recklessly because the risk was too high. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙．𝘯𝘦𝘵

If what he said was right, then they would not be able to enter the small world if they attacked him.

They had been waiting at the center of the ruins for a few days, so they did not want their efforts to be in vain.

Zane, who realized they were at a disadvantage, uttered, "Now that I remember it, Mister Jimmy had to give him 200 gold coins because you lost the bet just now."

He had no other choice but to help Ace because he did not dare to take the risk. He believed the treasure was worth far more than 200 gold coins, so he decided to help Ace.

"What Zane said is right," Ryan added. "Jimmy, you should fulfill your promise. If you dare to bet, you must dare to accept defeat."

Lily and Reese did not say anything, but they stared at Jimmy as if they told him to fulfill his promise through their gaze.

Jimmy gritted his teeth.

He was furious because everything was out of his control again.

Previously, they were on his side, but a few words from Ace could make them change their minds.

'He is like a devil, good at manipulating people!'

Jimmy looked at Jordan, hoping Jordan would help him.

Jordan was the one who invited him, so he had to help him. However, his hopes shattered into countless pieces when Jordan turned his head to the other side.

Ace was pleased.

'Everything is under my control now.'

He believed the people from two families and three organizations would force Jimmy to fulfill his promise later.

[Several divine beings enjoy the events very much.]

[Five Gods asks you to make the event more interesting.]

[The Great Sage, The Equal of Heaven is watching the event with exciting eyes.]

[Five Evil Beings are interested in you.]

[One of Seven Deadly Sins pays attention to you.]

"Old man, I will count to three. If you don't fulfill your promise, I will activate my defensive formation." Ace began to count. "1…"

Like before, Zane asked Jimmy to fulfill his promise. "Sir Jimmy, please fulfill your promise now."

Jimmy could not suppress his anger anymore. "You guys were the ones who invited me, but now, you are treating me like this?"

"2…" Ace slowed down the count on purpose because he loved it when he saw them quarreling.

"Jimmy, we never forced you to accept the bet earlier. Why are you mad at us now?" Ryan was unhappy with Jimmy's words and behavior.

Jimmy should have known that their goal was the treasure. They would do anything to get the treasure, including forcing Jimmy to fulfill his promise.

Scarlett looked at Ace in amazement.

'Everything is always under his control. It seems like the Goddess of Luck is always on his side. Is it because he is an Aeris?'

She suddenly suspected it was because he was an Aeris.

At this moment, Jordan walked closer to Jimmy.

"Just fulfill your promise." Jimmy said in a low voice. "We will deal with him later. For now, we should get the treasure first."

Ace could not hear their conversation because they spoke in a low voice. "3...Time is u-"

"Wait!" Jimmy spoke, "I will fulfill my promise now."

"Good choice!" Ace smiled happily before finally looking at one of his clones.

After receiving 200 gold coins from Jimmy, he smiled happily.

'Good. I'm 200 gold coins richer now.'

He looked at Scarlett before finally entering the small world.

Scarlett and his five ice clones followed him.

The people from two families and three organizations immediately entered the small world.

'Hmm?'

They were startled.

They immediately saw an open area after walking through the stone door. The field was huge, with lots of rocks scattered all over the place.

But what surprised them most was that they no longer saw the stone door as if they had been transported to a different area.

However, none of them cared about it because what they had in mind was only one thing.

The treasure!

'It's him!'

Jimmy clenched his fist as he caught sight of Ace.

"Be patient!" Jordan spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "We should try to get to the treasure first. After that, we will deal with him."

Jimmy suppressed his anger because what Jordan said was right.

They should focus on finding the treasure first!

As they were scouting the area, something unexpected happened.

More than thirty magical beasts suddenly appeared and rushed toward them!

"Magical beast?" they instantly grabbed their weapons.

Even though they were outnumbered by the magical beasts, they did not show the slightest fear in their eyes because they were only 1-star magical beasts.

*Slash…Stab…Shui…

They began to attack the magical beasts.

Ace, Scarlett, and his clones also attacked the magical beasts that were running toward them.

'Where did these magical beasts come from?'

He immediately told his system to scan the area.

'I will upgrade this scan feature if I get a beast core.'

He could not scan the entire area at once because the scanning radius was only fifty meters.

*Slash…Stab…Shui…

Not long after that, all the magical beasts dead.

They began to scout the area again.

However, the same thing happened again.

More than thirty magical beasts suddenly appeared and attacked them again!

If previously it was only 1-star magical beasts, it was 2-star magical beasts this time. For this reason, they could not defeat them as easily as before.

*Slash…Slash…

As Ace was attacking the magical beasts in front of him, he looked at the people from two families and three organizations.

He was pleased when he found out that some of them were dead. A few of their subordinates dead because they were only at Novice and Elite ranks.

'Should I take this opportunity to reduce their numbers?'

Ace suddenly wanted to take advantage of the situation to kill some of them because he believed that they saw him as their enemy.

He stood next to Scarlett and inquired, "Should I take this opportunity to reduce their numbers?"
