"Ace, do you know the ones who attacked you earlier?" Scarlett wanted to know the ones who attacked him in the forest a few hours ago.

"Their names are Lala and Lily." He knew their names because he analyzed them using his system.

"Lala and Lily? Can you tell me about their appearance?" there were a few people called Lala and Lily in Nightshire city, so she wanted to know about their appearance.

"They are twins.." he began telling her about their appearance.

After hearing his explanation, she uttered, "I'm sure there isn't anyone with that description in my city."

She knew everyone in her city, and she believed no one fit the description Ace mentioned.

"As I thought, they are not from our city." He was not surprised because he had guessed this before. "It seems like someone hired them to kill me."

"Do you have someone you suspect?" she threw another question at him.

"I have one person in mind but I don't have solid evidence now." He suspected Henry was the one who hired Lala and Lily, but he did not have evidence.

"One person? Is it Henry?" she suspected Henry was the mastermind because she knew Henry hated Ace to the bone.

Even though Henry always tried his best to control himself whenever they were together, but she could still feel his hatred toward Ace.

She did not do anything to Henry until now because he never tried to hurt Ace openly.

And Henry was also from one of four big families, so she needed to think carefully and solid evidence before doing something to him because one mistake could cause many problems or make her city a mess.

"Yes." He gave an honest answer.

"Ace, we can't do anything to him if we don't have solid evidence." Even though she wanted to help Ace, she could not do it now. "You understand it, right?"

"I know." Of course, Ace understood it.

This was the reason why he never asked her to do something to Henry because Henry was from one of four big families.

"But I will help you deal with him after we have solid evidence." She stated.

"Oh, you want to help me deal with him after we have evidence?" he pretended to be shocked.

"Of course, because you are my boyfriend and soulmate." At this moment, she was no longer sad.

She even could smile and giggle happily.

Previously, she was sad because she thought Ace was dead.

That was why she could smile and giggle happily now because Ace was still alive.

Sure, the distance between them was far, but she was fine with it because they could be together again later.

And they also had communication tokens, so she could see his face whenever she missed him.

"Oh, I'm melting after hearing your words." He chuckled happily.

"Hehe." Scarlett giggled. "By the way, where is Lieutenant Valeria?"

"We got teleported to difference places." He gave an honest answer. "I will look for her tomorrow."

"Yes. You have to find her and bring her home." She uttered.

"As you wish, city mistress." He responded.

"Hehe." They chuckled together.

They stopped talking when they were sleepy.

----

The following morning, Ace headed to the backyard after eating breakfast.

His clones found three wells when he checked the yard around the house. That was why he went straight to the backyard after eating.

'Why does this house have three wells?'

It was weird for a house to have three wells because one well should be enough.

[God of Wind asks, why are you looking at these wells?]

Instead of answering his question, he inquired, "Don't you think it's weird? Isn't one well enough for one house? So why does this house have three wells?"

[God of Wind responds, there may be no water in the first and second wells.]

"But all the wells have water." This was what made him curious about it.

[God of Sea utters, do you mean there is something inside these wells?]

"I don't know." He responded, "System, scan these wells."

He told his system to scan these wells because he could not see what was in the wells.

[Host, there is a barrier inside one of these wells.]

"What?! Barrier?" he said in surprise.

[Several divine beings are shocked.]

[God of Sea utters, does that mean there is treasure inside it?]

"Which well has a barrier?" he asked excitedly because he had the same thought as the God of the Sea.

'There must be something in that well.'

He added in mind.

[The one on your right side.]

Ace walked toward the well before finally speaking, "I can't see the barrier."

Even though the water was clean, he could not see the barrier because the well was deep.

[God of Wind says, just destroy the well.]

Ace agreed with God of Wind's idea because draining the water in that well would take a long time.

'Ice Wing.'

He floated above the well before finally retrieving his Phoenix sword.

*Slash..

He swung his sword, sending a huge wave of energy toward the well.

Boom!

The well was destroyed, but there was not a single scratch on the barrier.

Ace used his Moon Slice skill again, but the result was the same.

His attack was not strong enough to destroy the barrier!

'What a strong barrier!'

He created four clones and attacked the barrier again.

Even though they attacked the barrier at the same time, they still failed to destroy the barrier.

Ace created another four clones.

Ace looked at his clones and uttered, "Let's attack the barrier again."

All of his clones nodded their heads.

'Moon Slice.'

Nine slashes flew toward the barrier at an incredible speed.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Thunderous sounds reverberated in the backyard.

*Crack..Crack...Crack..

Crack lines finally appeared on the barrier.

Ace smiled happily.

Even though he still could not destroy the barrier, but he was pleased.

However, the smile on his face disappeared instantly when the barrier returned to its previous state.

'I need to find the weakest point of this barrier first.'

With that idea in mind, he ordered his clones to attack the barrier again.

However, there was no weakest point on that barrier.

The barrier recovery speed was the same in all areas!

'Does that mean I have to destroy this barrier in a single attack?'

That was the question that appeared in his mind.

'Then let me use that magic.'

He stored his sword in his space ring and raised his right hand high.

Great Lightning Dragon magic!

Yes, he wanted to use the Great Lightning Dragon magic because it was his strongest magic.

'Destroy it for me!'

A giant lightning dragon came out of the grey clouds and flew toward the well.

*Crack..Crack..Crunch..

Due to how powerful his magic was, the barrier finally got destroyed.

Ace wasted no time and jumped into the well.

'This well is so deep!'

It had been ten seconds since he jumped into the well, but he still had not reached the bottom.

'Light!'

He could not see anything now, so he used Light magic.

'I hope I will get something good later.'

After reaching the bottom of the well, his lips curled up into a smile.

'It seems like today is my lucky day!'

He saw a lot of copper coins, silver coins, gold coins, and beast cores in front of him.

[Several diving beings are amazed by your luck.]

[God of Sea utters, is it a blessing in disguise?]

Ace would not get a lot of money and beast cores if he were in Framingburns forest. That was why some divine beings were amazed by his luck.

"I don't know who you are, but thank you for hiding your treasure in this place. I will take them all and use it as I please." After saying that, Ace stored all the money in his space ring.

Now he had 152,750 gold coins, 12,450 silver coins, and 50,340 copper coins.

He was much richer now!

'I will use half of these beast cores to upgrade my system.'

His system was still at level 3, so he wanted to upgrade it.

'I hope I will get a new feature later.'

He got a new feature when he upgraded his system to level 3, so he hoped he would get a new feature again.

'System, absorb it.'historical

His system immediately absorbed half of the beast cores.

After waiting for several minutes, the system was finally finished upgrading.

[Host, do you want to see your stats?]

"Yes. Show it." He did not see his stats in a few days, so he wanted to see it.

[A/N= his stats, cards and information about his system are in the author's note.]

"It seems like today is really my lucky day!" he said this because he got a new feature after upgrading his system.

That new feature was night vision.

It was a good feature because he could see everything clearly at night now.

But what made him happiest was that the radius of the scanning feature was one hundred meters now.

It was twice as far as before!

These were the reasons why he smiled from ear to ear.

'It's a pity that I don't get a binding slot this time.'

He could not upgrade his talent because he needed to bind his system to someone with higher talent.

'Well, I will get it if I keep upgrading my system.'

He rose to his feet and walked toward a stone chair.

Yes, there was a stone chair in front of him!

The stone chair was exquisitely carved, to the point it looked like a king chair.

'Why is there a chair in this place?'
