'What?! She also wants to live with me?'
Ace was shocked after hearing Layla's words.
Sure, they had kissed and hugged before, but they were not a couple, so saying she also wanted to live with him stunned him.
Not only Ace but Scarlett and Valeria were also surprised.
However, they did not say anything and only stared at Ace because he would let him decide everything.
"Layla, why do you want to live with me?" he asked curiously.
Instead of answering his question, Layla inquired, "Why? I can't live with you?"
"I mean, Scarlett and Valeria are my girlfriends, so it's normal for us to live together, but we…" he did not finish his words because he did not want to hurt her feelings.
"What?! She is your lover?" after saying that, Layla shifted her gaze from Ace to Valeria, "Is that true?"
"Yes." Valeria gave an honest answer. "We became a couple a few days ago."
"How? Don't you rarely spend time and talk with him?" Layla was curious about how they ended up as a couple.
"It's like this…" Valeria gave a brief explanation.
"I see." Layla finally knew everything.
'I really missed a lot of things.'
She added in her mind.
"That is why we will live together because they are my women." Ace repeated his words.
Layla instantly looked at him. "Ace, let's become a couple. Let me become your girlfriend too."
"Cough!" due to how shocked he was, he suddenly coughed.
Valeria widened her eyes after hearing Layla's confession.
'She asks him to go out with her in front of us?'
She was surprised.
But what surprised her most was that Layla could still act normally, as if she did not ask something shocking.
Unlike Valeria, Scarlett could still act normally.
She knew that Layla had a special feeling for Ace, so she was not surprised by Layla's confession.
"What is your answer, Ace?" Layla inquired.
Instead of answering her question, he asked, "Are you asking this question for the sake of living together with us?"
"Yes." Layla gave an honest answer. "I want to live with you too."
He did not expect her to go that far just to live together with them.
Because Ace still did not answer her question, Layla uttered, "Ace, we have kissed and hugged before. You accept me, right?"
Ace looked at Scarlett and Valeria. "How is it? Do you agree to let her live with us?"
"I'm fine with it." Scarlett responded.
Unlike Scarlett, Valeria did not answer immediately and stared at Layla and Ace.
'Should I let her live with us or not?'
As she was thinking about it, Scarlett suddenly brought her face closer to her right ear.
"They have special feelings for each other." Scarlett whispered.
After hearing her words, Valeria immediately uttered, "Alright. I'm fine with it."
Layla immediately held Valeria's hands. "Thank you, Valeria."
Valeria smiled and nodded her head.
"Then I will go home and pack my things." After saying that, Layla went straight home.
"Ace, can you tell me about your relationship with her?" Valeria inquired.
"We…" Ace began telling everything.
He did not hide a single thing from her because she was his lover.
There was only one thing he would keep a secret from his women, and that one thing was his system.
Other than that, he would tell them everything because a lie could destroy their relationship.
"I see." Valeria finally knew everything.
After talking for several minutes, they headed to the backyard to enjoy the beautiful view.
----
The following morning, Ace helped Layla move her belongings to his house. Scarlett and Valeria could not help her because they were busy with their work.
After helping Layla, Ace headed to the backyard to train.
ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm His backyard was huge.
There was a swimming pool and an artificial stone waterfall.
The backyard was protected by a high wall, so no one could see what was going on in the backyard.
'Focus. Focus.'
Ace was currently in the empty space, alone.
He was sitting in the lotus position and closing his eyes.
He was absorbing the energy of heaven and earth into his awakening points because he wanted to get stronger quickly.
His talent was as good as grade-A talent now, so he did not want to waste his time.
'I will practice my secret technique after this.'
He tried his best to absorb the energy of heaven and earth into his body.
[God of Wind says, this is boring!]
[Several divine beings agree with God of Wind's words.]
[Three Gods are starved for blood and violence.]
[God of Wind says, someone, give him a quest.]
[All divine beings are pointing at each other.]
[God of Mountain says, what are Henry and his son doing? Didn't they say they wanted to take revenge on Ace? Why didn't they do anything to him until now?]
[All divine beings suddenly remember Henry and his son Leo.]
[All divine beings have the same question as God of Mountain.]
[God of Wind says, agh! I can't stand this anymore. This is way too boring. I want to see an action-packed fight. It seems like I have to do something about this, or else I will die of boredom.]
[All divine beings are curious about what God of Wind have in mind.]
Ace did not know about this because he was closing his eyes.
As Ace was absorbing the energy of heaven and earth into his awakening points, Leo practiced martial arts in the backyard.
He swung his sword continuously because he was trying to master a new skill.
"Huft…Huft…Huft…" He sat on the ground and breathed heavily.
'I'm tired.'
He said in his head.
As he was breathing heavily, a voice suddenly rang out. However, the sound could only be heard by himself alone.
[God of Wind utter, child, you are really a hard-working person. I'm in awe of the effort you put into getting stronger]
Leo was stunned. "Who are you?"
He skimmed his surroundings, but he did not see anyone in the backyard.
[God of Wind answer, I'm God of Wind.]
"God of Wind? Are you really God of Wind?" Leo inquired.
[God of Wind answer, yes. I'm interested in you, child.]
Leo felt like his feet barely touched the ground after hearing God of Wind's words.
'God of Wind is interested in me?'
At this moment, he almost could not suppress the happiness within him.
'Does that mean there is a high possibility of me making a contract with God of Wind?'
Of course, he knew about incarnation because he met an incarnation during his adventure two months ago.
'This is a golden opportunity. I have to make a contract with God of Wind.'
His future would be bright if he could make a contract with God of Wind.
Let alone being the strongest awakener in Nightshire city; there was even a chance of him becoming the strongest in the world because he would get something amazing if he could make a contract with a divine being.
"God of Wind, may I know why you suddenly want to talk to me?" Leo spoke carefully as he did not want to lose the golden opportunity.
[God of Wind utter, child, I see you are a diligent person, and I like hard-working people, so I want to offer your something.]
"Wha…what is it?" he inquired.
'A contract please. A contract please. A contract please.'
He repeated the same words over and over again in his head as if he was chanting a magic spell.
[God of Wind answers, do you want to form a contract with me?]
Boom!
Leo suddenly felt like he saw beautiful fireworks.
Due to how happy he was, he even could not describe what he felt in words.
'God of Wind is asking whether I want to form a contract with him or not.'
He suddenly felt like he was dreaming because it was the dream of all awakeners to get noticed by a divine being.
[God of Wind inquire, how is it, child?]
"I agree. I agree to form a contract with you, God of Wind." Leo said happily.
[God of Wind laughs happily.]
[God of Wind says, but there is one condition to form a contract with me.]
"What is it?" Leo asked curiously.
[God of Wind answer, I want you to challenge Ace to a duel and defeat him.]
The expression of deep shock blossomed on his face after hearing God of Wind's words. "What?! Challenge Ace to a duel and defeat him?!"
