329  It’s Already Too Late Now

Holmes Family, Main Hall.

A mature man was sitting on the chair alone.

His hair was red like a fire, while his eyes were black like the night sky.

Anyone, who saw him, would immediately behave politely because the mature man was rich and influential in the Xiriel kingdom. The name of the mature man was none other than Devin Holmes, the family head of the Holmes family.

Devin was alone in the main hall because he previously ordered his personal bodyguard to call his second child, Levi.

Levi always chased Sienna to the point that he often neglected his training, so he wanted to scold his son for wasting his time on unimportant things.

He wanted all his children to become powerful awakeners because, with this, they could make their ancestors proud.

That was why he wanted to tell his son to stop chasing Sienna because becoming a powerful awakener was more important than chasing a woman.

"Just where did that brat go?" even though Devin often scolded Levi, but his love for Levi was big.

'I just hope he doesn't cause any more trouble.'

He added in his head.

Shortly after that, his bodyguard stepped into the main hall.

Like him, his bodyguard also had red hair.

However, his bodyguard did not have black eyes like him because his eyes were green like those of elves.

The name of his bodyguard was none other than Riley Travis, an awakener at the Grandmaster rank.

After Riley was in front of Devin, he immediately uttered, "My lord, second young master went to Nightshire City with one hundred subordinates."

"What?! Nightshire City? One hundred subordinates?" Devin said in surprise.

"Yes, my lord." Riley began explaining everything to Devin.

Riley said Levi went to Nightshire City with Sienna last month. He did not know what had happened to them in detail, but Levi immediately brought one hundred subordinates to Nightshire City right after returning home.

He even did not take a rest and returned to Nightshire City immediately as if he wanted to destroy Nightshire City. "Sigh." Devin let out a sigh. "Riley, go to Nightshire City and drag his ass here. Beat him up if he tries to fight back."

"Understood, my lord." After saying that, Riley walked out of the main hall.

"That child is really difficult to manage!" Devin sighed again.

'I hope nothing bad happen to him.'

He added in his head.

Nightshire City, Front Gate.

"Are you sure you want to challenge us? Have you considered the consequences?" Ace inquired.

Ace and fifty city guards were currently standing in front of Levi and his subordinates. They walked out of the barrier because Levi kept making a ruckus. Levi's actions had made the citizens uncomfortable, so they decided to stop him.

"Consequences? Hahaha." Levi's subordinates laughed loudly upon hearing Ace's words.

Like his subordinates, Levi also found Ace's words funny.

He brought one hundred subordinates with him. Two of them were at the Grandmaster rank, while the rest were at the Master and Elite ranks.

Their combination power was more than enough to destroy a small city like Nightshire City, so he did not take Ace and the others seriously.

"I will give you two choices. Kneel before me and apologize or get beaten up to death. Which one do you choose?" Levi crossed his arms over his chest and said arrogantly.

"Sigh." Captain Noah let out a deep sigh. "It seems like a fight is inevitable."

"I suggest you think about this carefully. Otherwise, you will regret it later." Ace warned Levi one last time.

"It seems like you guys choose to get beaten up to death. Then I will grant your dead wish. Beat them to death!" Levi said as he pointed his right index finger at Ace and the others.

"Kill them!" Levi's subordinates roared.

Ace did not retrieve his Phoenix sword from his space ring and walked toward them with a calm face.

He even put his hands behind his back.

Even though there were a hundred of his enemies, he was still calm because they were only a bunch of weaklings. They were not strong enough to put his life in danger because the strongest among them was only at the Grandmaster rank.

Boom!

Before they attacked him, Ace released his deadly aura.

Awakeners at the Elite rank instantly fainted, while awakeners at the Master rank fell on their knees. Even though awakeners at the Grandmaster rank could still stand, they had difficulty breathing. Ace was already at the Exalted rank, so his pressure was so heavy and terrifying.

'How? How can he be this strong?'

Ace was still young, so they thought he was a weakling, but they were wrong because Ace could suppress them with his domineering aura alone.

"I gave you a chance to leave this place without getting injured earlier." Ace kept walking before finally stopping in front of Levi and looking at him. "Do you regret it now?"

Levi wanted to answer Ace's question.

But when he saw Ace, he felt like he saw a demon.

No!

He felt like he was seeing a grim reaper because Ace looked so scary when his body was covered in a terrifying aura.

"Please…please forgive us." An awakener at the Grandmaster rank immediately asked for forgiveness.

Ace could suppress them with only his aura, so he knew the difference in strength between them was huge.

Of course, he knew his behavior was cowardly, but they needed to protect Levi, so asking for forgiveness was the best choice.

"Cough…" Levi coughed up blood and fell to the ground.

He was only at the Elite rank, so he could not keep enduring the pressure.

"Second young master." Levi's subordinates were worried when they saw his condition.

"Please forgive us. We will leave this place immediately and won't come to this city anymore."

"Yes. We promise."

"Please, don't kill second young master."

They would be doomed if Levi died, so they kept asking for forgiveness.

"It's already too late now." Ace did not grant their wish.

He had already been kind enough to let Levi go once.

But instead of apologizing, Levi brought one hundred subordinates to cause trouble for him and the city guards.

He even gave Levi a chance to leave earlier, so Ace would not give them another chance because it was already too late now.

"Don't be an arrogant person in your next life." After saying that, Ace punched Levi's chest hard. "No, don't ki-uaakk…" blood splashed out of Levi's mouth before finally he fell to the ground and died.

Even though Ace did not use any skill or magic, his fist was more than enough to kill Levi because he added his energy to his punch earlier.

"Second young master!" Levi's subordinates screamed.

"Don't worry. I will send you to meet him now." After saying that, Ace retrieved his Phoenix sword and killed them all.

*Slash…Slash…Slash…

He killed them in less than five minutes.

Like usual, Ace took their space rings after killing them.

Curiosity arose in his heart after he took Levi's space ring because Levi said he was from a rich family.

'I hope you won't disappoint me.'

He said in his head.

"Let's go back." Ace uttered.

Ace and the others returned to the entrance gate.

At the same time, Riley was on his way to Nightshire City. He was not alone because Devin told him to bring five people with him.

'I hope he is fine.'
