Binding System - Chapter 340 I Refuse

Chapter 340 I Refuse

?”So, how is it? Do you want to build a magical beast kingdom with us?” Ace hoped Aya would agree to be his follower because she was a powerful fox.

Instead of answering Ace’s question, Aya looked at Renea and inquired, “Tell me. What do you think of him?”

“Me?” Renea was shocked when Aya suddenly talked to her. N♡vεlB¡n: Transforming Moments into Memories.

“Yes. I want to hear about him from you.” Aya wanted to hear what kind of person Ace was from Renea because Renea was from the same race as her.

Ace shifted his gaze from Aya to Renea.

‘Answer it.’

He nodded his head.

“Leader is an amazing pers-” Renea almost revealed Ace’s real identity. “I mean, he is an amazing dragon. I’m sure leader will stand at the top of the hierarchy in the future.”

“How long have you been following him?” Aya threw another question at Renea.

“Several months.” Renea answered.

“What made you agree to become his follower?” Aya asked again.

“He is a good dragon and always treats us well.” Renea told Aya that Ace never mistreated her and his other underlings.

Because of how well he treated his subordinates, she even felt like she was not his underlings but his good friend.

Aya was shocked by Renea’s answer.

Not only Aya, but Hyzi and the others were also stunned.

Even though they knew there were good magical beasts, but most of them only cared about themselves.

Normally, they treated their underlings like slaves.

This was the reason why they were stunned because they could tell that Renea was not lying.

“I see.” Aya uttered.

“So, what is your answer?” Ace would reward Renea if he managed to take Aya as his follower because she had praised him in front of everyone.

And based on Aya’s expressions, he believed she would agree to follow him.

However, Aya’s answer was different from what he thought because she refused to become his follower.

“I refuse.” Aya said as she played with her long hair. “I like my current life, so I don’t want to be your follower.”

“Don’t you want to see humans kneeling before you?” Ace tried to change her mind.

“Many humans have knelt in front of me before.” Aya had experienced it before.

When she was about to kill them, they knelt before her and begged her to forgive themselves because they did not want to die.

“Then, what abou-” before Ace had finished his words, he was interrupted by her.

“Ice dragon, I like your ambition, but currently, you are not good enough to make me your follower.” Aya responded.

Of course, Ace did not give up.

However, Aya still refused to be his follower because he was not good enough to make her his follower.

Ace could only sigh.

‘Well, it can’t be helped.’

He finally gave up.

“Everyone, let’s leave.” Ace uttered.

Then they left Aya’s base.

Holmes Family, Living Room.

Kane was currently in the living room with Lea and Axel. Lea was Devin’s wife, while Axel was their youngest child.

Of course, they were talking about Ace because he had killed Devin and their subordinates.

Their hatred toward Ace was as big as the universe, so they wanted to kill him as quickly as possible.

“Lea, hire mercenary tomorrow.” Kane responded, “Remember, only hire awakeners at the Grandmaster rank. It would be better if you could hire an awakener at the Exalted rank.”

“Understood.” Lea responded.

“Grandpa, how is your injury?” Axel inquired.

“I will recover completely in a few days.” Kane responded, “After that, we will kill Ace together.”

“Un.” Axel nodded his head.

‘I will kill Ace and avenge my brothers and father.’

He added in his head.

Ace was currently in the forest with his subordinates. Silvia and Mia were not with him because he ordered them to return to Nightshire City.

He had promised to tell his women about his activities, so he needed to keep his word.

Actually, he could tell Scarlett and the others about his activities using the communication token, but he did not do that because he wanted his subordinates to learn a new skill and magic.

After giving a skill and magic book to Ace’s underlings, Silvia and Mia went straight to Framingburns forest.

They were not alone this time because Nova was with them.

Nova, Evelyn, and her master had returned to Nightshire City. However, Evelyn and her master left shortly after finding out what had happened to Ace.

They knew a skill that could help him live as a human again, so they left immediately.

As for Nova, he decided to tag along because he did not want to be alone. And in his view, following Ace would be exciting.

“Whoa! You are a dragon now!” Nova’s eyes shone brightly when he saw Ace.

Ace wasted no time and dragged Nova to a quiet place.

He told Nova not to reveal his real identity because his underlings did not know the truth.

“I see.” Nova uttered, “So, how does it feel to be a magical beast? Not bad, right?”

The corner of Ace’s lips twitched.

‘This damn wolf!’

He did not answer Nova’s question and left.

“Hey, where are you going? Answer me first.” Nova shouted as he followed Ace.

Ace ignored Nova and kept walking toward where his subordinates were.

After dinner, Silvia brought Ace to a quiet place.

She wanted to give information related to his real identity so she could tell it in front of his other underlings.

“What?!” Ace said in surprise.

“City mistress bought this information from the Shadow organization.” She said the Shadow organization was an organization that did business by selling information to everyone.

Shadow organization said the mastermind was someone from Xiriel Kingdom. His wanted poster also first appeared in the Xiriel Kingdom.

However, they still did not know who the mastermind was.

They needed to carry out further investigations if they wanted to find out who was behind it.

And Scarlett also needed to pay a large amount of money because they believed the mastermind was someone influential in the Xiriel Kingdom.

Scarlett could not pay for the information because she also needed a lot of money for her city and subordinates.

“Leader, city mistress asks you not to make any reckless actions.” Silvia uttered, “She also said she would help you after taking care of everything.”

“Don’t worry. I know what I should not do.” Ace would not act carelessly because it would ruin everything.

‘Now, I have a stronger reason to go to the Xiriel kingdom.’

He added in his head.

The following day, they traveled to Xiriel Kingdom. On their way to the Xiriel kingdom, they also recruited magical beasts to be Ace’s underlings.

If previously his underlings were thirty-one thousand, his subordinates were fifty thousand now.

However, most of them were only at 1-star or 2-star.

Of course, Ace was fine with this.

Even though they were weak, they were still useful for him because he needed strength and numbers to attack the Xiriel Kingdom.

After traveling for more than a month, they finally reached the territory of the Xiriel Kingdom.

Ace, who was leading his subordinates, stopped his footsteps.

‘We have finally arrived at the Xiriel Kingdom. I will conquer this world, and this kingdom will be my starting point.’
