Binding System

"How is it, young man? I'm sure seventy percent of our treasure is a good deal." Ryan was a smart leader, so he knew when to yield or when to fight.

They needed Ace's help to leave that small world, so he was willing to give Ace seventy percent of their treasure.

Sure, they would lose a big portion of their treasure, but they had no other choice because they were at a disadvantage.

Everything would be meaningless if they could not leave the small world because treasures could not be exchanged for lives.

Once they died, everything in the world would have no value to them, including their treasure.

That was why Ryan was willing to give up a big portion of their treasure.

'Patient! We must be patient now. Don't let the anger take over our bodies!'

The members of the Black Tiger Organization clenched their fists, trying their best to keep their anger in check.

As long as they could leave that place, they could take back their treasure, so they pressed down their anger.

'We will kill him and take his treasure after leaving this place. We just need to be patient and take a step back for now.'

Ace had killed two of their brothers and kept causing trouble for them, so there was no way they would forgive him.

"You want to give me seventy percent of your treasure and forget our grudge?" Ace pretended to be surprised.

Actually, he had suspected that they would do something like this because they were at a disadvantage.

After all, their lives were in his hand now, so it was normal if they chose their lives over their treasure.

"That's right." Ryan was thrilled when he saw Ace's expression. "Isn't that right, brothers?"

"That's right." The members of the Black Tiger Organization responded in unison. "We are willing to give you seventy percent of our treasure, so can you send us out of this place now?"

Ace pretended to think about their offer before finally speaking, "I think you guys should give me a better offer because it's a bad bargain in my eyes."

"How can you say it's a bad offer?" Ryan kept telling himself to calm down. "You already know what we got from the floating stone, so I'm sure it's a good offer."

"What I mean is I can still get your treasure if you guys die in this place, so it's a bad offer in my eyes." After saying that, Ace looked at Scarlett. "Isn't that right, my love?"

"Yes. It's a bad offer." Scarlett nodded her head.

'He is really enjoying this. Bad young man!'

She added in her head.

Two of the Black Tiger Organization members had reached their limits.

They could no longer take it!

They wanted to attack Ace because he kept giving them a hard time.

However, their leader stopped them. Ryan knew that making Ace angry was a bad decision.

That was why he told them to be patient because they needed Ace's help to get out of that small world.

"Young man, I know you and your lover are powerful awakeners, but we are also not weak." Ryan spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "You only have one person helping you while I have three."

He then continued, "Two of us are at Master rank while the others are at Elite rank. We don't know who the winner is if we fight, so isn't it better to accept my offer?"

"But I'm not interested in your offer." Ace touched his chin and began to think of a way to humiliate them, "Hmmm… How about this? If you guys agree to be my slaves, I will help you guys get out of this place. How is it?"

Scarlett covered her mouth, trying her best not to laugh.

"What?! Your slaves?!" Ryan and his brothers said in surprise.

Slave was the lowest status in the human world, and here, Ace wanted them to be his slaves.

Of course, they refused because it would hurt their pride. They were awakeners, so they did not want to be his slaves.

A subordinate was an even better status than a slave because a king still cared about his followers, but a king would not care about his slaves.

​ "Hmm?! You don't want to?" Ace's heart leaped up for joy when he saw their expressions, but he did not show it on his handsome face.

"Young man, you are too much!" Ryan wanted to beat Ace to death so badly at this moment.

"That's right!" the members of the Black Tiger Organizations added.

"Hmm? Are you really not going to consider it?" Ace put on a surprised face as if he was giving them a good offer. "After all, you can leave this place if you become my slave."

"Of course not!" one of the Black Tiger Organization members responded.

'Calm down. Calm down.'

He repeated the same words in his head as if he was chanting a magic spell.

"Then give me a better offer now." Of course, Ace only gave them false hope because he disliked them.

"Please let us discuss it first." Ryan responded.

He and his subordinates started discussing how to get out of the small world.

"Big brother, what should we do now?" the bald man inquired.

"Big brother, how about we pretend to be his slaves? We will attack him right away after getting out of this place." the red-haired man gave an idea.

Of course, he knew that his idea was not the best, but he still said it because he wanted to know what they thought of it.

Ryan touched his chin and began to think about it.

They were discussing in low voices, so Ace could not hear their conversation. But even so, he did not care about it because everything would always be under his control.

"But what if he put a slave imprint on us later?" Ryan inquired.

Slave Imprints were imprints used to enslave a person.

If someone was implanted with a slave imprint, he or she would have to obey the person who gave them the slave imprint no matter what and could never disobey any commands.

Even if the command was for them to die, they would commit suicide without any hesitation.

Once someone was implanted with the slave imprint, they would be unable to put up a fight against their master's orders.

And the slave implant was also almost impossible to be removed.

But the terrifying thing was that the slaves would still remember their mission and serve loyally for their whole life even if the master died.

"It's not a good idea, but not bad either." Ryan responded, "What about you guys? Do you have a good idea?"

They continued to discuss in low voices. After discussing for about five minutes, they decided to pretend to be his slaves.

When Ace saw them looking at him, he uttered, "Are you guys done discussing? So, what is your answer?"

"Alright. We agreed to become your slaves, but you have to promise not to put slave imprints on us." It took Ryan a few seconds before answering Ace's question.

"Sure." Ace agreed instantly.

Ryan and his brothers were startled.

'What?! He agreed instantly?'

Previously, they thought he would disagree with their condition because they could betray him easily without slave imprints.

'Well, he is still young, so he doesn't know how this world works.'

Happiness danced within them.

But the happiness within them instantly disappeared when Ace said something shocking to them. "Since you agreed to become my slave, then I order you to give me your space ring now."

"We agreed to be your slaves, but you still want our space rings?" the bald man was about to explode with rage.

"I think my order is normal." Ace acted calmly. "Let me ask you a question now. Have you ever seen a slave have a space ring and treasure? You've never seen it, have you?"

"You devil!" the red-haired man roared. "You are not a human being! You are a devil! A greedy devil!"

"You got treasure from Jordan and the others earlier and you still want ours?!" the bald man's face was red from anger. "Is that still not enough? You are indeed a greedy devil!"

[Greed likes your actions.]

"Hey, what kind of slave curses his master?" Ace was not angry; instead, he was thrilled. "You are lucky because I'm a kind master. Otherwise, your head would have rolled on the ground by now."

"Hehe." Scarlett giggled.

[All evil beings like you even more.]

[Greed is enjoying the events very much.]

[Greed is thinking about whether he should give you a card again or not.]

"Big brother, I can't take this anymore." The bald man uttered, "Let's just attack him."

"That's right, big brother."

"Let's just attack him!"

"He has been humiliating us until now, so let's just attack him!"

"We are awakeners, so I'd rather die fighting than be humiliated like this!"

"That's right."

One by one, the members of the Black Tiger Organization voiced out their feelings.

They could not hold back their anger anymore because Ace kept humiliating them. They were awakeners, so they would rather die fighting than be humiliated.

"Shut up!" Ryan roared.

Of course, he understood their feelings because he felt the same.

Yes, he felt like shit at that time!

However, they needed to be patient because he did not want them to die.

Their big dream had not been achieved, so he refused to let them die in that place. No matter what happened, they had to leave that place.

The members of the Black Tiger Organization looked at Ryan in surprise.

'Big brother…'

Of course, they knew his feeling.

"Give me your space ring now!" Ryan uttered.
