Binding System

Ace's Room, Living Room.

Allan and his bodyguard were currently standing in front of Ace, Layla, and Scarlett.

He immediately dragged his bodyguard to Ace's place after finding out that she had given information about Ace to Darwin.

He did not want his friendship with Ace to be ruined, so he wanted her to apologize to Ace immediately.

"Mister Ace, I'm sorry for giving your information to Darwin." Even though Zaria was on the same level as Ace, she kept lowering her head.

No, she was not afraid of him.

She lowered her head because she wanted to show him that she was apologizing from the bottom of her heart.

Ace, who was sitting on the couch, only stared at her without saying a single word.

Was he angry at her?

Of course!

Darwin knew that Cain was him because she gave information about him to Darwin, so it was normal if he was angry.

He was a human being, so he could get angry too. He believed anyone would be angry if they were in his shoes.

However, Ace was a reasonable person. He would not yell at her without hearing her explanation first.

"Why did you give my information to him?" Ace inquired.

"At first, I did not want to give any information about you to him, but I could not refuse his wish after he brought back the incident where he saved my life." Zaria gave an honest answer.

"He saved your life?" Layla spoke abruptly.

"Yes. He saved my life once." Zaria began explaining everything in detail.

She said she had a younger brother in the past. Her younger brother was a kind and cheerful person.

Even though they did not have parents, their days were filled with happiness.

One day, her younger brother went to the market to buy vegetables, but five members of the Eagle gang suddenly appeared and took his money.

Of course, her younger brother tried to take back his money because they only had a little money in the past.

During the process of taking back his body, he was beaten up by the members of the Eagle gang mercilessly.

His body was filled with his blood, and his left arm was broken. But even so, her younger brother did not give up and still tried his best to take back his money.

The members of the Eagle gang were furious.

They were enraged because her younger brother kept trying to take back his money. For this reason, they decided to kill her younger brother.

Her younger brother was only an awakener at Novice rank, and he was also ganged up by five people, so he could not do anything when they tried to kill him.

For this reason, he died trying to get his money back.

Zaria cried blood when she found out that her younger brother had died. Her heart was filled with sadness, and she felt as if her world had broken into pieces.

She was alone now.

She had no one now.

And she could not see her younger brother's smiles anymore now.

The sadness in her heart slowly consumed her body when she remembered their good memories.

The deeper the sadness in her heart, the bigger her anger became.

For this reason, she went to the Eagle gang headquarters out of anger.

She wanted to take revenge!

She wanted to kill them all!

An eye for an eye and blood for blood!

Because they had killed her younger brother, they had to pay with their lives.

That was why she killed all the Eagle members she saw.

She did not care whether they were involved in her younger brother's death or not.

At that time, what she had in mind was only one thing.

Kill all members of the Eagle gang!

Even though she was alone, she managed to kill all the members of the Eagle gang.

However, she was heavily injured after killing them.

Her body was filled with blood, and her head was dizzy. Because of her injuries, she could not stand up anymore after killing the leader of the Eagle gang.

At that time, she thought she would die, but she was wrong.

She was utterly wrong because Darwin suddenly appeared and saved her life.

This was the reason why she could not refuse his wish when he brought back the incident where he saved her life.

Scarlett and Layla shifted their gaze from Zaria to Ace. After listening to her story, they wanted him to forgive her.

Sure, Zaria had made a huge mistake, but she was hopeless in that situation. This was the reason why they wanted him to forgive her.

Like Scarlett and Layla, Allan also felt sorry for his bodyguard. He did not know that his bodyguard had such a sad story.

However, he could not ask Ace to forgive his bodyguard because she had made a huge mistake.

He was afraid that Ace would not want to be friends with him anymore if he asked Ace to forgive his bodyguard.

That was why he only stared at Ace without saying a single word. Of course, he would love it if Ace could forgive his bodyguard.

[Three gods ask you to forgive her.]

[God of Wind nods his head.]

"I forgive you." Ace uttered.

Scarlett and the others were pleased after hearing his words.

At this moment, Ace's value rose drastically in Allan's eyes.

'I didn't choose the wrong person.'

He was thrilled because Ace could forgive his bodyguard easily.

"Really?" Zaria asked in surprise.

Previously, she thought she had to do something for him. She just did not expect him to forgive her easily like that. Of course, she was happy with this.

"Yes," Ace responded instantly.

After that, Allan asked Ace about the reason why Eva was in his room.

The expression of deep shock blossomed on his face when he found out what had happened to Eva all this time.

But what surprised him most was that Darwin and Gracie wanted to kill Ace tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Allan shifted his gaze from Ace to Zaria. "Zaria, it could be said everything is your fault, so I want you to be brother Ace's bodyguard for the next two days. You have to protect brother Ace from Darwin and Gracie."

"Understood, young lord." Zaria agreed instantly.

However, Ace had a different thought.

Sure, it could be said everything was her fault, but asking her to be his bodyguard was too much.

And Ace also did not need a bodyguard. "Brother Allan, you don't need to do that. I can protect myself."

Before Allan could say something to Ace, Zaria uttered, "Mister Ace, please let me become your bodyguard for the next two days."

"Brother Ace, I know you are strong, but wouldn't it be better if you had a bodyguard?" Allan added. "And Zaria is strong, so I'm sure she can protect you."

"But I really don't need a bodyguard." Ace still refused.

"Mister Ace, please let me make up for my mistake." Zaria wanted to protect Ace from Darwin and Gracie.

Because they would not take no for an answer, Ace finally gave in. "Alright."

Allan smiled before finally looking at Zaria. "Zaria, protect him well."

"I will try my best to protect mister Ace, young lord." Zaria responded.

Not long after that, Allan returned to Wynn trading house. Zaria did not follow him because she was Ace's bodyguard for the next two days.

----

The following day, Gracie invited Ace, Layla, and Scarlett to have lunch with her at her orphanage.

Ace and the others were not surprised by this because they already knew something like this would happen.

Because they had prepared everything, they traveled to the orphanage calmly. Zaria followed them in secret.

However, she only waited outside the orphanage because it could ruin Ace's plan if she came with them.

As Gracie led Ace and the others to the dining room, two caretakers brought the orphans to Herora park.

These two caretakers knew something big would happen later.

That was why they brought the orphans to the park because they did not want something bad to happen to orphans.

After walking for about two minutes, they finally reached the dining room. The dining room was big, with a wooden table in the middle of the room.

The long wooden table had eight chairs around it and was decorated with a white tablecloth.

There were also candles on the dining table, making the atmosphere feel cozy.

"Please sit down," Gracie said as she smiled.

Like when they visited the orphanage last time, Gracie acted as if she was a kind and gentle woman.

If Alina had not told them that Gracie wanted to kill them, maybe Ace and the others would have been fooled by her smile and gentle behavior.

"Thank you." After saying that, Ace sat on the chair.

Layla immediately sat on his left side while Scarlett was on the other side.

"Miss Gracie, is today a special day for this orphanage?" Ace pretended as if he did not know anything. "We were pleasantly surprised when you suddenly invited us to have lunch with you earlier."

"No. Today is not a special day." Like before, Gracie spoke as she smiled. "Mister Ace and the others had helped us a few days ago, and I felt that I still hadn't returned the favor enough, so I decided to invite you guys to have lunch with me."

"I see." Like before, Ace and the others behaved as if they did not know anything.

At the same time, Darwin was heading toward the Goddess Teressa's orphanage.

'Ace, I will kill you today!'
