Binding System



"Tell me what had happened to Levi." Devin wanted to know who the killer was.

But before Riley and the others could answer Devin's question, Ryan uttered, "Father, let's bury second brother first. We have to give him a place to rest properly."

Devin shifted his gaze from Riley to Ryan. "Alright."

After they buried Levi's body, they headed to the living room to discuss the cause of Levi's death.

"Now tell me. Who is the killer?" At this moment, Devin almost could not suppress his anger.

Even though Levi often caused trouble for him, but he was still his son.

"It's like this, my lord." Riley began explaining everything to Devin.

"What?! The killers are the city guards of Nightshire City?!" Devin uttered, "Why didn't you kill them when you were in there?"

"My lord, we wanted to kill them after finding out everything, but…" Riley told Devin that Nightshire City was protected by a powerful barrier.

He and the others had tried to destroy it, but the barrier was too strong for them, so they failed to destroy it.

"Grr…" Devin clenched his fist.

'How can they have such a strong barrier?'

He believed Riley's words immediately because Riley was his trusted subordinate.

"Do you know why second brother had problems with the city guards of Nightshire City?" Ryan inquired.

"We don't know, young master Ryan." Tommy responded, "But they said young master Levi kept causing trouble. They had told young master Levi to leave several times, but young master Levi did not listen to them."

"But even so, they should not kill my son. It's too much!" the anger in Devin's body grew bigger.

Nightshire City was only a small city, yet they dared to kill his son as if the Holmes family was weak.

"Father, let's go to the Fraser family now." Ryan uttered.

"Why?" Devin did not understand why Ryan suddenly wanted to go to the Fraser family.

"Second brother went to Nightshire City with Sienna last month." Ryan responded, "Father knows that second brother likes Sienna, right?"

"Do you mean…" Devin suddenly thought of something.

"I suspect Sienna is related to the second brother's death." Ryan voiced out his suspicions to Sienna. 

"My lord, I also have the same suspicion." Riley added. 

Devin rose to his feet and uttered, "Then let's go to the Fraser family now."

"Un." Ryan and the others nodded their heads.

Then, they went to the Fraser family.

After arriving at the Fraser family, they threw many questions at Sienna.

Of course, Sienna lied to them.

She said she only went to Nightshire City with Levi, nothing more than that.

She even stopped Levi from quarreling with the city guards because she did not want to cause trouble in Nightshire city.

Even though Sienna's words sounded convincing, Devin and his son knew she was hiding something from them.

However, they could not force her to reveal it because the Fraser family was as strong as theirs.

For this reason, they went home with unhappy faces.

Holmes Family Home, Living Room. 

"Father, what should we do now?" Ryan inquired.

Ryan, Devin and Riley were currently sitting on the sofa. Ryan was on Devin's right side, while Riley was on the opposite side of them.

"We will deal with the Fraser family later. For now, let's focus on avenging your second brother." Devin said the Fraser family was more challenging to deal with, so they should avenge Levi first.

"Then I will go to Nightshire City tomorrow. I will kill them." Ryan said as he clenched his fist.

"But Nightshire City is protected by a powerful barrier." Riley spoke abruptly. "It seems like the barrier can only be destroyed by awakeners at the Exalted rank and above."

"Don't worry. I have a way to kill them." Ryan found a good idea to avenge Levi.

"Alright. I will leave this matter to you." Devin believed in Ryan. "You can bring one thousand people with you tomorrow."

"Thank you, father." Ryan uttered.

'Second brother, don't worry. I will avenge you. I will kill them all later.'

Nightshire City, Rainbow Pool. 

Layla and Lexie were currently soaking in the pool and absorbing beast cores. They wanted to get stronger quickly because they wanted to help Ace.

As Layla was absorbing a beast core, her energy suddenly exploded, pushing away the stones around the pool.

'I did it!'

After breaking through to the Grandmaster rank, Layla opened her eyes and smiled happily.

Shortly after Layla broke through to the next level, Lexie also broke through to the Grandmaster rank.

'I did it.'

A soft smile spread across her face.

As Lexie was smiling happily, Layla's voice rang out.

"Lexie, we did it!" Layla grabbed Lexie's hands and said happily.

"Yes. We did it." Lexie smiled softly.

"Now, let's go meet Ace. We rarely spend time with him lately, so let's lovey-dovey with him." without waiting for her answer, Layla dragged Lexie out of the cave.

Lexie did not fight back and only smiled.

'I'm glad we managed to break through to the Grandmaster rank.'

She said in her head. 

At the same time, Ace was talking with Saintess Alicia.

Saintess Alicia said she needed to return to her temple. 

She also told him that she would return to Nightshire City after taking care of her business because they needed to discuss the orphanage.

"I will leave now." Saintess Alicia uttered.

"Be careful on the road." Ace said. 

After Saintess Alicia and her subordinates left, Ace headed to Scarlett's house.

But before he reached her house, he met Layla and Lexie.

"Ace…" Layla shouted as she waved her hands.

Ace stopped his footsteps and uttered, "Layla, Lexie?"

When she was in front of him, Layla uttered, "Ace, let's go to a restaurant now."

"Why?" He asked curiously.

"Hehe." Layla giggled. "We just broke through to the Grandmaster rank. We should celebrate it."

Upon hearing her words, he checked their strength.

'Ah! They are at the Grandmaster rank now.'

He finally knew the reason why they rarely spent time with him lately.

"How about we celebrate it in Scarlett's house? We can have a small party in the backyard later." He suggested this because he wanted to protect Scarlett and Valeria.

"Sure." Layla agreed instantly.

When they were about to go to Scarlett's house, a voice suddenly rang out. "Ace…Ace…"

Ace and the others saw a green-haired man running toward him with a worried face.

'A city guard? What's going on?' 

That was the question that appeared in their minds.

"Ace, there are one thousand people in the front gate now." the city guard said after he was in front of Ace. "They said they want to seek justice."

"Seeking justice?" Ace uttered, "Let's go and check it now."

They wasted no time and headed to the entrance gate.

At the same time, Captain Noah was talking with Ryan. Even though Ryan brought one thousand people with him, Captain Noah was not afraid.

He had fought against twenty thousand people before, so a thousand people would not make him tremble.

"I'm Ryan Holmes, the eldest son of the Holmes family." Ryan introduced himself. "I came to your city to challenge you to a duel. Do you dare to accept my challenge?"
