Chapter 305 Scarlett Broke Through to the Grandmaster Rank

"Hello, everyone. I'm Kevin." Kevin introduced himself as he cupped his fist.

General Xavier and the others instantly turned their heads toward Aidan. They knew their lord wanted to become the Ruler of the eastern part of the Luvrela region.

However, they did not expect their lord to hire an outsider because he had never done it before.

That was why they looked at their lord and treated Kevin like air because they wanted to know what was going on.

Kevin was unhappy when General Xavier and the others ignored him. However, he did not show it on his face and kept smiling. 

He was in their city and this was their first meeting, so he wanted to make a good impression.

Even though his subordinates did not say anything to him, Aidan knew what they had in mind. "I know you are surprised, but we need his power to conquer Nightshire City."

"But my lord, isn't our strength enough to conquer Nightshire City?" Captain Daniel inquired. 

Before Aidan could answer Captain Daniel's question, Lara uttered, "We should not underestimate them because we don't know their strength in detail."

"Lara is right." Aidan added. "That is why we need Kevin because I want to make sure we can conquer Nightshire City in one move."

Colonel Zion and the others did not say anything anymore because their lord had decided it.

"When are we going to attack them?" General Xavier inquired.

"It would be best if we attack them as soon as possible because things could get troublesome if Ace returns to Nightshire City." Lara was not sure whether Kevin could defeat Ace or not, so from her point of view, they should attack them as soon as possible. 

"Then, I will prepare everything later." General Xavier uttered.

Aidan shifted his gaze from General Xavier to Kevin. "Kevin, we will depend on you later. I hope you can help us conquer Nightshire City quickly." 

"I will do my best, city lord." Even though Kevin was stronger than Aidan, he still acted politely because Aidan was city lord.

"Alright. The meeting ends here." After saying that, Aidan rose to his feet. "Lara, come to my office now."

"Understood, my lord." Lara responded.

Shortly after that, General Xavier and the others left the meeting room.

Underground Cave, Rainbow Pool.

Scarlett was soaking in the rainbow pool and absorbing a beast core. Ace had broken through to the Exalted rank, so she tried her best to get stronger as quickly as possible.

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

'I did it. I broke through to the Grandmaster rank.'

A happy smile appeared on her pretty face.

Even though she was weaker than Ace, her heart still beat with happiness because the gap between them was not as big as before.

'Should I tell him about this good news?'

She suddenly wanted to tell her young lover that she had broken through to the Grandmaster rank.

'No. It's better if I don't tell him about this. With this, I can surprise him when he returns.'

With that idea in mind, she put the communication token back into her space ring. 

'I will go home and take a rest now.'

She got out of the rainbow pool and went home with a happy smile on her face.

Ace was currently sitting under a big tree and absorbing a beast core. After spending time with Layla, he decided to absorb a beast core because he wanted to get stronger.

Sure, he was already at the Exalted rank, but he was still not the strongest. 

That was why he absorbed a beast core every day because his dream was the be the Ruler like his grandpa.

After absorbing beast cores for about an hour, he slowly opened his eyes.

'I can feel my power is stronger than before.'

Even though his strength was only at level 116, he felt like he could destroy a mountain easily.

'I will keep absorbing a beast core.'

With that idea in mind, he shut his eyes again.

As Ace was absorbing a beast core, Layla was looking for him. She wanted to use this trip to get closer to him, so she wanted to be by his side all day.

"Where is he?" she mused as she skimmed her surroundings.

'Evelyn?'

When she caught sight of Evelyn, she immediately approached her.

"Evelyn, do you know where Ace is?" Layla asked as she walked closer to Evelyn.

"I don't know." Evelyn responded, "I thought he was with you."

"We were in the backyard earlier, but he was not there after I returned from the kitchen." Layla responded.

"Have you looked in his room?" Evelyn inquired. 

"He is not in his room." Layla had checked his bedroom earlier, but he was not there.

"Why don't you try looking for him around this house?" Evelyn uttered, "I'm sure he is not far from this home."

"Un. I will do that." Layla responded, "Oh right, Evelyn. I plan to go to his room tonight. Do you want to go to his room too?"

"I…will pass." Evelyn refused because they were at Roshia's house. 

Even though she had a special feeling for Ace, but it would be embarrassing if Roshia knew that she visited a man's room at night.

That was why she would not go to his room because she needed to maintain her image.

"I see." Layla said, "Then I will look for him again."

"Un." Evelyn nodded her head.

"Just come to his room if you change your mind. I will be there too." Layla said as she walked away.

Evelyn did not say anything and only looked at Layla.

'Is she planning to seduce him again tonight?'

City Guard Headquarters, Bedroom.

Two people were lying on a soft bed, naked. The grown man had a beard while the mature lady had a pretty face.

Anyone who saw them would know immediately that these two people had just finished having sex because the bedsheet was wet from their love juices.

The names of these two people were none other than Aidan and his gorgeous secretary, Lara.

After leaving the meeting room, Aidan brought Lara to his room because he wanted to talk about their plans and Kevin. 

He was still unhappy that she brought Kevin to his city out of the blue, so he wanted to talk about it.

"Lara, are you sure Kevin can be trusted?" Aidan inquired. 

"My lord, I have known him since we were little." Lara had guessed this before, so she was not shocked. "I believe he won't betray us."

"Are you sure?" he asked again.

"Don't worry, my lord. I will kill him if he shows any signs of betraying us." She responded.

Aidan was relieved after hearing her words, so he decided not to talk about Kevin anymore. 

"In your view, what are our chances of conquering Nightshire City?" he inquired. 

"With Kevin's help, I believe our chances are ninety percent." Ace was in the Ocaven Kingdom, so Lara believed they had a high probability of conquering Nightshire City.

"Ninety percent, huh?" Aidan uttered.

"Don't worry, my lord. I will keep my word. I will make you the Ruler of the eastern part of the Luvrela region in the future." Lara promised this to Aidan in the past.

"Hahaha. You are indeed my best subordinate, Lara." Aidan laughed happily.

'I can't wait to attack Nightshire City.'
