Binding System



'What?!'

The expression of deep shock blossomed on his face.

Ace was already shocked when five demi-humans suddenly appeared before him.

But what surprised him most was that they told him to become their leader if he did not want to return the Phoenix sword to them.

He could become their leader because of a sword?!

It made no sense!

Becoming a leader of an organization should not be this easy because there were many criteria for one to become a leader.

This was the reason why he found it hard to believe what he was hearing.

'Is this a trap?'

He could not help but think they had bad intentions toward him because what they said was absurd. 

[Several divine beings are shocked by Silvia's words.]

[God of Mountain widens his eyes in surprise.]

[God of Lust laughs and tells you to become their leader because being a leader of a female organization is fun and exciting.]

"Your only choice is to become our leader if you don't want to return the Phoenix sword to us." Silvia spoke and paused for a second before continuing, "However, we need to test you first because we can't have you as our leader right away." 

"That's right." Renea added. "After all, the Phoenix organization is female organization, so you can't become our leader right away."

"What kind of test are you guys going to give me?" he asked curiously. 

"You have to defeat me, Mia and Renea in fight." Silvia responded, "If you lose even once, you can't become our leader." 

[Ding! No one in this world can do everything alone. Even a powerful awakener needs someone to help him. Defeat them and become the leader of the Phoenix organization, and the Host will be rewarded with a skill card, Divine Arrow card.]

A quest appeared right after Silvia told him about the test.

'A quest?'

An unexpected happiness consumed him.

'And the reward is Divine Arrow skill card?'

Even though he did not know what kind of skill it was, but from its name, he believed it was an amazing skill.

When his heart was throbbing with happiness, another notification popped up.

[Ding! God of Wind gives you a quest. The grandson of the Ruler must amaze everyone everywhere he is. Shock every member of the Phoenix organization, make them think you are an amazing person and show them that you are an Aeris without telling them. If the conditions are met, the God of Wind will reward you with a Power Imitation card.]

'I got two quests again?!' 

He got two quests at the same time when he was on the monster subjugation mission last month.

He did not expect to get another stroke of luck.

Was he happy?

Of course, he was thrilled!

Even though the quests were challenging, but the rewards were good.

One of the rewards was even a skill card.

It could be said he got a jackpot this time because most of the reward given to him was one-time use cards.

'Does that mean bad luck has stopped following me?'

He did not get a single quest last month. 

He even thought he was being followed by bad luck because there had been many interesting events that had happened last month, but neither his system nor divine beings had given him a single quest. 

This was the reason why happiness swelled within him when he saw the notifications. Of course, he did not show it on his face because he was in front of Silvia and the others.

As the grandson of the Ruler, he had to maintain his image, so he decided to control his emotion.

[God of Wind utters, boy, you like to show off and act like an expert, right? Then, don't disappoint me. Give me something entertaining. I'm sure you will like the reward later.]

Ace was at a loss for words.

He did not know why God of Wind said something like that because he believed he had never acted like that until now.

"So, how is it?" Silvia inquired, "Do you agree to take our test?"

Valeria shifted her gaze from Silvia to Ace.

'What is your answer, Ace? Are you going to accept it or not?'

Even though he was her lover now, she decided not to interfere in this matter because she would always support his decision. 

"Sure, I will take the test." There were two reasons why he accepted it.

First, it was because his system and the God of Wind gave him a quest. And last, it was because of Henry.

Yes, Henry was also the reason why he decided to take their test because Henry was his enemy.

Like what Scarlett said, even though he was a powerful awakener and an Aeris, he was alone.

What he could do was limited, and he would be at a disadvantage if Henry and his subordinates attacked him together.

By becoming the leader of the Phoenix organization, he could order them to help him deal with Henry.

With this, the possibility of him defeating Henry would be even higher. 

"Wait. It will be one by one fight, right?" he inquired.

"Yes." Silvia replied, "And for the sake of fairness, I will order our healing mages to heal you if you get injured later, so you will always be in top condition for the following fight."

Ace was happy after hearing her words. "Where are we going to fight?"

"At our base." Silvia told him not to worry because they would not use any dirty tricks. 

"It's already afternoon now, so I will take your test tomorrow morning." Ace did not want to take the test immediately because he wanted to spend time with Valeria.

She was his lover now, so he wanted to create many beautiful memories with her because they were currently in a beautiful city.

"Alright." Silvia did not force him to take the test immediately. "Where do you stay now? I will order someone to escort you to our base tomorrow morning."

"We are staying at Stardust Hotel." Ace gave an honest answer.

"Alright. We will be waiting for you at our headquarters." After saying that, Silvia rose to her feet. "Let's return now."

Renea and the others nodded their heads.

"Bye-bye, Ace." Neia waved goodbye before leaving the restaurant. 

Ace returned his attention to Valeria. "Let's take a walk around this city again."

"Alright." Valeria nodded.

Then they walked out of the restaurant to enjoy the city. 

----

There were three powerful organizations in Aquarin City; the White Tiger organization, the Red Dragon organization and the Phoenix organization.

Normally, they did not get along and regarded each other as enemies. However, it was a different story now.

The White Tiger organization and Red Dragon organization decided to cooperate this time.

The reason for their cooperation was one thing.

The Phoenix organization!

The Red Dragon organization wanted to expand their territory and destroy the Phoenix organization.

No!

Actually, the real reason was that they hated the Phoenix organization to the bone.

One year ago, Silvia and Renea seriously injured the leader of the Red Dragon organization. It took him six months to fully recover from his injury.

That was why he decided to cooperate with the White Tiger organization because he was not sure they could destroy the Phoenix organization.

As for the White Tiger organization, the reason why they accepted the cooperation was simple.

Their love was rejected!

The leader of the White Tiger organization fell for Silvia, while the vice leader was in love with Renea.

However, Silvia and Renea always rejected their love.

It had been two years since they chased Silvia and Renea, but Silvia and Renea always rejected them.

Because they could not make Silvia and Renea accept their love in subtle ways, they decided to use violence. 

They would help the Red Dragon organization destroy the Phoenix organization, and they would force Silvia and Renea to become their women.

Sure, they knew this method was not noble, but they did not care about it because they knew they would not be able to make Silvia and Renea become their women if they did not use dirty methods.

This was the reason why the White Tiger organization agreed to help the Red Dragon organization.

"Remember, I don't want you to kill Silvia and Renea. I don't care about the rest." The blue-haired man uttered.

The name of this young man was Carlos Hart, the leader of the White Tiger organization.

"Yes." Jackson, the vice leader of the White Tiger organization, added. "You can do whatever you want with the rest. We don't care about it. You can even rape or sell them later."

"Don't worry. We won't do anything to Silvia and Renea." The grey-haired man responded.

This man had a scar on his right cheek, and his left eye could no longer see. The name of this man was Logan Harper, the leader of the Red Dragon organization. 

Actually, he barely agreed with Carlos' condition because Silvia and Renea were the ones who made him like that.

However, he needed the White Tiger organization to destroy the Phoenix organization, so he had no other choice but to agree to Carlos' condition.

He also believed Carlos and Jackson would make Silvia and Renea feel like they were living in hell.

"Good!" Carlos and Jackson were pleased after hearing Logan's words.

"So, when are we going to attack them?" the green-haired man inquired.

The name of this young man was Dante. He was the vice leader of the Red Dragon organization.

"How about we attack them tomorrow?" Carlos responded.

Logan and the others exchanged a glance before finally nodding their heads.

"Alright. Let's attack them tomorrow." Logan uttered.
