Binding System - Chapter 323 First Wave

Chapter 323 First Wave

One hundred awakeners were rushing toward Nightshire City. Even though they were not from the same organization or family, they had the same goal.

Kill Ace and take his head!

The value of Ace’s head was 10,000 gold coins, so they traveled to Nightshire City to kill him because they wanted to take that reward.

“Brother Kyle, there are many people rushing toward Nightshire City like us.” The red-haired man uttered as he ran toward Nightshire City.

“You don’t need to worry about them, brother Jeromi.” Kyle stated. “They are just a bunch of weaklings, so the reward will fall into our hands in the end.”

“You are damn right, brother Kyle. Haha.” Jeromi laughed.

After traveling for several days, these awakeners finally reached Nightshire City.

These awakeners were shocked when they found out that Nightshire City was protected by a barrier because, normally, a small city did not have a barrier.

“What?! A barrier?”

“Did he know we were going to attack him?”

“I did not expect them to put up a barrier.”

They did not attack the barrier immediately and only stood in front of it.

When Captain Noah saw them, he immediately spoke, “We are currently rebuilding our city, so we don’t accept travelers for now.”

Captain Noah and the others did not know about the bounty, so they thought these awakeners were travelers.

“Hey, you! Call a young man named Ace now.” Kyle dared to act arrogantly because Captain Noah was only at Elite rank.

He was already at the Master rank, so he did not show any respect to Captain Noah.

“Why do you want to meet Ace?” Captain Noah inquired.

“Why? You ask me why?” Kyle found it funny. “Of course, it’s because I want to kill him.”

“That’s right. We want to kill him!”

“The value of his head is 10,000 gold coins, so we want to kill him.”

“Un, un.”

One by one, these awakeners answered Captain Noah’s question.

Captain Noah’s face darkened.

Ace was the hero of Nightshire City, so he was enraged when they said they wanted to kill him.

However, he suppressed his anger because he wanted to know why they wanted to kill Ace.

He believed they were not the citizens of Alselian City because they had killed all awakeners from that city.

“Why do you want to kill him?” Captain Noah threw another question at them.

“It seems like he doesn’t know anything.” Kyle stated.

“Brother, talking with him is wasting our time. Let’s just destroy this barrier and find that young man immediately.” Jeromi did not know how powerful the barrier was.

“Hmf! Because you don’t want to bring him to us, then I will destroy this barrier.” After saying that, Kyle used one of his skills to attack the barrier.

Not only Kyle but all of them also attacked the barrier.

However, they could not destroy it because the barrier could only be destroyed by awakeners at the Exalted rank.

“What?! I can’t destroy this barrier?!”

“How? How can this barrier withstand my attack?”

“I can’t believe this barrier can withstand my attack. I will attack it again.”

“How can a small city have a powerful barrier?”

“Damn it!”

“Will our trip to this city be in vain?”

They were shocked and angry at the same time.

They were shocked because a small city could have a powerful barrier, and they were furious because they could not kill Ace before destroying the barrier.

“Ace, you coward! Come out of your city if you are a man.” Kyle decided to shout because he could not destroy the barrier, hoping Ace would come out of his city.

“Ace, are you a woman? Don’t hide in your city if you dare!”

“That’s right. Don’t hide in your city!”

“Ace, act like an awakener if you dare!”

One by one, they followed Kyle’s method.

“Haha.” Captain Noah’s subordinates laughed loudly.

“I thought they were powerful, but I was wrong. They are so weak.” The red-haired man insulted them openly.

“Haha.” They laughed again.

At the same time, Ace was spending time with Lexie in her tent.

Both of them were naked.

He was lying on the bed while she was on top of him.

Ace could still talk calmly because he did not know what was going on. Lexie’s tent was far from the entrance gate, so he did not hear them.

“Ace, why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?” Lexie suddenly felt like something bad would happen again.

“Bad feeling? Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, I will protect this city and the citizens.” He would spend more time in the rainbow pool because he needed to get stronger to protect them.

Lexie then cupped his handsome face and looked into his black eyes. “It’s not about this city. I suddenly feel like something bad will happen to you.”

“Don’t worry. I’m strong. Nothing bad will happen to me.” He tried to calm her down.

But even so, she still could not calm down.

Her instinct told her that Ace would face countless problems soon.

‘Was it because we destroyed Alselian city?’

She tried to figure out the reason why she suddenly felt uneasy.

‘Hmm?’

She widened her eyes in shock when Ace turned their bodies around.

If previously she was on top of him, now it was the opposite.

She was under him!

“Because you keep feeling uneasy, how about I calm you down?” he uttered.

“Do you want to go for another round?” she thought he wanted to have sex with her again.

“Yes.” After giving an honest answer, Ace kissed her passionately.

Like before, Lexie welcomed the kiss immediately.

The duo moved their tongues lewdly as they exchanged saliva. Lexie wrapped her slender hands around his back as he explored every inch of her mouth with his tongue.

As the duo was enjoying their hot kiss, one of Lexie’s subordinates uttered. “Madam, there is a commotion in front of the city gate.”

Ace and Lexie stopped kissing and looked into each other.

‘What?’

Both of them were shocked by the news.

“What’s going on?” Lexie inquired.

“One hundred unknown awakeners suddenly appeared and tried to destroy the barrier.” Her subordinate responded.

Ace and Lexie were even more shocked.

“Are they related to Alselian City?” Lexie threw another question at her subordinate.

“No, madam.” Her subordinate answered. “Captain Noah had asked them many questions, but none of them answered it. They only said they came to kill Ace.”

“They want to kill me?” Ace mused.

Lexie finally knew that her instinct was right.

Previously, her instinct told her that something bad would happen to Ace. And now, she got news about many awakeners who wanted to kill him.

“I will check it.” After saying that, Ace got out of bed and put on his clothes.

Like Ace, Lexie also wore her clothes.

She did not want him to face his enemies alone, so she decided to accompany him.

Lexie’s subordinate was shocked when she saw Lexie coming out of her tent with Ace. But she did not show it on her face and only bowed her head.

“You stay here and guard my tent.” Lexie said to her subordinate.

“Understood.” Her subordinate responded.

As Lexie and Ace were heading to the entrance gate, Captain Noah tried to get information from them.

He kept asking them questions, but not all of his questions were answered by them.

‘Why do they suddenly want to kill Ace? Is it related to Alselian City?’
