Binding System

"Do you have a way to deal with them?" Scarlett was sure Jordan and the others would try to kill him because he had caused trouble for them.

He even took advantage of the situation to rob their treasure, so there was no way they would let him go without doing anything.

At least, they would cripple him and take his treasure. There was even a high possibility of them killing him.

That was why she wanted to know whether he had a way to deal with them or not because she did not want them to act recklessly.

"Don't worry. Everything is still under my control." Ace responded calmly because he had a card that could help him in that situation.

'System, help me cover my lie.'

He added in his mind.

[How do you plan to lie to her, Host?]

He immediately told his system what to do.

"Everything is still under your control? Can you tell me about your plan?" she could not read his mind, so she asked him to explain his plans.

Ace took out an artifact from Ryan's space ring and showed it to her. "We can deal with them easily with the help of this artifact."

The jade artifact was as big as his palm and in the shape of a dragon.

'I hope she doesn't know anything about this artifact.'

He wanted to make up a story because he could not tell her about the Power Up card given by God of Wine and Ecstasy.

If she knew about the jade artifact, he would be screwed because it was the only artifact in Ryan's space ring.

"What kind of artifact is this?" she asked curiously.

Happiness streaked through him like a comet after hearing her question.

'Good! She doesn't know anything about this artifact. I can make up a story now.'

He felt like the Goddess of luck was smiling at him.

"This artifact is…" he used the description on the Power Up card as a make-up story.

He said he could increase his strength by borrowing power from someone. He also told her about the side effects for the target.

Yes, he told her everything in detail because he wanted to borrow her power, so she deserved to know everything.

"What?! You can borrow someone's power to increase your strength using this artifact?" she still did not believe him completely.

"Yes." He nodded his head.

"How do you know about this?" she asked curiously.

"My love, your boyfriend is smart and also has broad insight, so it's normal for me to know everything." He did not feel shy when he praised himself.

Scarlett pinched his nose and smiled softly. "I let you call me 'my love' once and you keep addressing me like that, huh? Have you forgotten that I'm your sugar mama? Or are you so eager to be punished by me?"

"I don't mind it if you want to punish me right here, right now because we can show these magical beasts how human reproduce." He teased her.

Yes, more than twenty magical beasts were surrounding them, but Ace and Scarlett acted calmly because they knew these magical beasts could not destroy the barrier.

"Pervert young man!" she stated.

"Hehe." Ace chuckled.

"Based on your actions, you want to borrow my power, right?" she uttered.

"You are right." He gave an honest answer. "Even though your rank will go down one level, but you don't need to worry about it because I will protect you. And you will also get back your power in two hours, so don't worry about it."

"Alright. I will let you borrow my power now." she believed his words because he would never let anyone hurt her.

He even wanted to become the Ruler for the sake of protecting her, so there was no need to doubt his words.

"Now close your eyes." Ace wanted to take advantage of the situation to kiss her.

"Why do I need to close my eyes?" she threw a question at him.

"Fine. You don't need to close your eyes if you don't want to." He was fine if she did not want to close her eyes.

When she saw him bringing his face closer to hers, she put her right index finger on his lips and inquired, "Ace, why did you bring your face closer to mine?"

He removed her right index finger from his lips before finally answering, "Because I need to kiss your lips to use this artifact."

Of course, it was a lie because he only wanted to take advantage of the situation to kiss her tender lips.

"Hehe." She giggled. "You are lying to me, right?"

"I'm not lying to you. I'm telling the truth." He kept lying to her.

"Why don't you just say you want to kiss me? No need to lie to me." She knew he was lying to her. "I'm your sugar mama, so I will let you kiss me if you ask me to."

"Then can I kiss you now?" he inquired.

"No! You can't kiss me." After saying that, she turned around, avoiding his gaze.

However, a tiny smile appeared on her pretty face shortly after that.

She liked it.

She loved it because she could tease him like that.

Ace stood in front of her and spoke, "You dare to tease your boyfriend, huh?"

"What are you going to do to me?" she inquired.

"I want to punish you because you dare to tease me." after saying that, he brought his face closer to hers.

Yes, he wanted to kiss her again!

Unlike before, Scarlett did not stop him or try to avoid it; instead, she slowly shut her eyes, ready to welcome the kiss.

In less than five seconds, their lips met.

He kissed her tender lips!

Not only that, but he also wrapped his arms around her slender waist.

As he was enjoying her tender lips, he told his system to activate the Power Up card.

'System, activate the Power Up card now.'

[Ding! Power Up card activated.]

Scarlett's power slowly moved into Ace's body.

Maybe because he was pressing his lips against hers, or perhaps his system supported his pervert actions, but at that time, her power went into his body through their mouths.

When Ace was getting stronger, Scarlett became weaker. She was no longer at the Master rank, but at the Elite Rank.

As for Ace, he broke through from Master rank to Grandmaster rank.

After stopping the kiss, he uttered, "Now that I'm at the Grandmaster rank, they won't be able to do anything to us."

"I think you need to replace your ice clones with new ones." She suggested this because he made these clones when he was at the Master rank.

If he made a clone when he was at the Grandmaster rank, his clone would be much stronger.

"You are right." After Ace nodded his head, all his clones melted into water.

He decided to make eight clones to protect her because he did not want something bad to happen to her.

Even though Jordan and the others could still destroy his clones, but it was not easy to do that because he created them after breaking through to Grandmaster rank.

"Alright. Let's get out of this place now." she wanted to leave this small world immediately.

"Wait!" he grabbed her right hand.
