Binding System

'Hmm?'

Ace was pleasantly surprised when God of Wine and Ecstasy gave him a card without asking him to do something.

'Why did he suddenly give me a card? Does he want to win my heart?'

He had no idea as to why God of Wine and Ecstasy suddenly gave him a card.

He suspected God of Wine and Ecstasy tried to win his heart because he rejected his contract a few days ago.

Actually, God of Wine and Ecstasy was not trying to win his heart. He gave Ace a card because he liked how he handled the problem.

He was calm and fearless when he was facing a big problem. People like him would usually become great figures in the future.

Of course, he would gladly accept it if Ace wanted to form a contract with him.

'Let me check the card first.'

He immediately checked the card given by God of Wine and Ecstasy.

'It's a good card!'

Ace got Power Up card from God of Wine and Ecstasy.

Power Up card was a card to borrow someone's power to increase his strength.

However, he had to ask the target's permission first. If the target refused to lend their power, he would not be able to use their power.

Even though there was a condition to use Power Up card, but it was still a good card because there was no after-effect like Power Loan card.

[Several Divine beings are glancing at God of Wine and Ecstasy.]

[Five Gods are suspicious of God of Wine and Ecstasy's actions, thinking he has ulterior motives.]

[God of Wine and Ecstasy ignores them and drinks his wine.]

Ace ignored the notifications and returned his attention to Jordan.

When Ace was about to say something, Jimmy spoke, "Lies! I don't believe you."

Ace turned his head to look at Jimmy.

'You want to keep going, huh?'

He decided to play with Jimmy.

"Lies? I once went to a very powerful organization, the Blue Ice Lotus Organization. I also went to the Holy Shrine. I met many powerful awakeners in the past. Their leaders even taught me many things." Ace was referring to his grandpa and father when he said this.

He was transmigrated into the new world two months ago, so there was no way he knew many places in his new world.

All the places he knew were only Framingburns forest and Nightshire city.

And actually, Blue Ice Lotus Organization was not an organization but a gang. It was his grandpa's gang.

As for Holy Shrine, it was the shrine he saw in the movie before he died.

In other words, everything was a lie!

It was bullshit!

He was fooling them!

Of course, they did not know about it because they had never met Ace before.

'I can also brag if I want to.'

Even though he was not good at boasting, but he did not care about it.

Scarlett, who was standing behind him, tried her best not to laugh.

'Blue Ice Lotus Organization? Holy Shrine? Haha. I'm sure you only know Nightshire city because I have never taken you anywhere before.'

Of course, she knew Ace was lying to them because she was the one who had been taking care of him after his father passed away.

"Haha." Jordan laughed. "I have never heard of that organization and shrine before. You are just boasting and trying to confuse all of us."

"That's right." Jimmy added. "If you are really from a big and powerful family, why did you only bring one bodyguard? That's ridiculous."

Ace crossed his arms over his chest. "Stupid! If I'm in danger, I still have an artifact that can save my life. Unless you are awakener at Exalted rank or above, it's impossible to kill me."

[Several divine beings burst into waves of laughter.]

[God of Sea suddenly wants to know who taught you to lie like that.]

[God of Wind says, as expected of the chosen one, you are even amazing at lying.]

[Ten Gods gives you a thumbs up for entertaining them.]

[God of Mountain gives you the title 'King of Braggart' because you are so good at boasting.]

Of course, all divine beings knew Ace was lying to Jordan and the others.

"Hmf!" Jimmy grimaced. "You are indeed amazing at boasting. Who knows if that's true or not."

"You can try me if you want." Ace challenged Jimmy to fight him.

Jimmy turned his head to look at the people from two families and three organizations. He did not want to fight Ace because he was not sure if he could defeat Ace or not.

"Everyone, I almost managed to open the stone door earlier, but that person distracted me, causing me to fail." Jimmy pointed his right index finger at Ace. "I would have managed to open this stone door if I was not disturbed by him."

"Why don't you just say you can't open that stone door?" Ace believed Jimmy could not open the stone door and wanted to shift the blame to him. "You look stupid if you blame other people for your incompetence."

"You said I look stupid?" Jimmy was unhappy with Ace's words. "Why don't you try opening this stone door? I will call you master if you can open it."

He believed Ace would not be able to open the stone door because he had failed to open it since two days ago.

"Accepting you to be my disciple will only ruin my good reputation." Ace spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "How about you give me your space ring if I can open that stone door? I will give you my space ring if I fail later."

Ace was poor.

No!

He wanted to be a rich young man, so he did not forget to take advantage of the situation to make more money.

Previously, his system had told him how to open the stone door. It used the same formation as the one in Death Valley, so it was easy to solve it.

[One of Seven Deadly Sins pays attention to you.]

Jimmy clenched his fist.

He did not accept the challenge immediately because the stakes were too high.

All of his possessions were in his space ring, so he would be a bum if Ace won the bet.

​ The risk was too high!

He did not dare to take the risk.

Even though he believed Ace would not be able to open the stone door, but there was still a chance that he could manage to do that.

'He is cornering me again! I really hate this young man!'

He was enraged.

Everyone would think of him as a coward if he did not dare to accept the bet, but at the same time, he was afraid that Ace could open the stone door later.

"Why don't you answer my question? Are you afraid to bet with me?" Ace made fun of Jimmy because he did not answer his question.

Jimmy gritted his teeth before finally speaking, "Hmf! I'm sure your possessions are not as good as mine, so it will be unfair to me."

"How can you be so sure about it when you have never seen my possessions before?" Ace behaved as if he had a lot of money and items in his space ring.

All the people from two families and three organizations stared at Jimmy. They wanted to know if he dared to accept the bet or not.

"So, how is it? Do you dare to bet with me?" Ace repeated his question.
