Binding System

20 What?! The Toy Boy Is an Aeris?!

Xiao Ming stopped his footsteps and turned around.

'Did someone just call my name?'

His eyes swept across the area as he took in his surroundings.

"What's wrong, Ren?" Evelyn was startled when he suddenly stopped his footsteps.

"Ace!" Scarlett called him again.

Xiao Ming turned his head toward the source of the sound.

'So, she was the one who had just called my name, huh? But who is this gorgeous lady? Did my predecessor know her?'

He tried to find any information about her in his memory, but he found nothing.

'Wait!'

He suddenly remembered Kieran's words.

'She is an attractive mature lady and knows me. Don't tell me….'

He suddenly suspected that the beautiful lady in front of him was his sugar mama, the city mistress of Nightshire city.

"Do you know her, Ren?" Evelyn asked curiously.

He did not answer her question because he was not sure about it.

"Thank God, you are fine." Even though Scarlett knew about his condition from her subordinates, but seeing it with her eyes made her relieved.

Evelyn was stunned by Scarlett's actions.

'Who is this woman? Why is she cupping his face? Do they have a special relationship? Why does she care so much about him?'

Countless questions appeared in her mind.

Xiao Ming did nothing when Scarlett suddenly cupped his face. "Beautiful lady, do we know each other?"

Scarlett's pupil dilated. "Beautiful lady? Ren, did some-"

Before she had finished her words, Kieran's voice rang out. "My beautiful angel, I have come to see you."

They instantly turned their heads towards Kieran.

"Eh, city mistress, you are also here?" Kieran was startled when he saw Scarlett.

Xiao Ming returned his attention to Scarlett.

'City mistress? As I thought, she is my predecessor's sugar mama.'

He finally understood why she was shocked after hearing his words.

'So, how should I call her now? City mistress? Lady? Beautiful MILF? Or sugar mama?'

He shook his head.

'The last two nicknames are not an option. Should I call her aunt? Or should I call her by her name?'

He did not know how to call her.

"Ace, did something happen to you?" Scarlett's face turned worried because of his unusual behavior.

"Eh! City mistress, what happened to him?" Kieran was shocked after hearing her words because he had healed Xiao Ming before.

"It seems like he doesn't know me." Scarlett gave an honest answer.

"Ah! It's normal because someone put a seal on his body, so he can't remember most of his memories." Kieran let out a sigh of relief.

'I thought my healing magic was useless for a second.'

He added in his mind.

Evelyn shifted her gaze from Scarlett to Xiao Ming.

'What?! Ace?'

She was shocked when Scarlett called him Ace because he introduced himself as Ren.

'Did he lie to me? I will ask him about this later.'

She decided to ask about this later because it was not the right time to do that.

"What?! Someone put a seal on him?!" Scarlett's worried face turned into anger. "Who is it, Ace?"

"I don't know." Xiao Ming responded, "However, this seal does no harm to my body, so I'm fine for now."

"That's right, city mistress." Kieran added, "The seal only prevents him from seeing his memories, nothing more than that."

"Does that mean you don't remember anything about me?" Scarlett inquired.

Xiao Ming nodded his head, giving a sign that he did not remember anything about her.

Scarlett grabbed Xiao Ming's right hand before finally speaking, "Let's find someone to break the seal on your body."

Even though the seal did not harm his body, but memories were important. It could be said memories were one of the most important things in the world.

For this reason, she wanted to break the seal on his body immediately because with this, he would never forget all the good memories he had.

"City mistress, did you forget no one knows about sealing techniques in this city?" Kieran knew all people in Nightshire city.

Scarlett stopped her footsteps.

'What he said is right. No one knows about sealing technique in this city.'

She instantly looked at Xiao Ming with a sad face.

Xiao Ming was touched by her actions.

'You are really lucky, my predecessor.'

He could tell that she really cared about him from her expression.

He held her shoulders before looking at her and speaking softly, "It's fine. This seal doesn't harm my body, so you don't have to put on a sad expression like this."

"But…" Scarlett was still worried because there was a seal on his body.

"Remember, you are a city mistress, the Ruler of this city." Like before, he still spoke in a soft tone. "What if someone sees your expression? Shouldn't the city mistress need to stay strong and maintain her image?"

"You are right." Scarlett responded.

Kieran nodded his head.

'His method of calming her down isn't bad. It seems like I have to hang out with him more so, I will have many beautiful ladies in the future.'

A big smile appeared on his face when he imagined himself being surrounded by many beautiful women.

Scarlett looked at Evelyn before returning her attention to Xiao Ming. "Ace, who is she?"

"She is Ava." Xiao Ming responded. "I met her in the forest a few days ago."

"Hello, I'm Ava." Evelyn spoke as she smiled.

"I'm Scarlett." Like Evelyn, Scarlett also smiled softly.

When he saw their gentle smiles, Kieran suddenly felt like he was in a beautiful garden.

'Is this what they call paradise?'

He suddenly spread his arms widely.

"My beautiful angel, city mistress, please let me hug and kiss you." Kieran could not control himself after seeing their charming smiles.

Bang!

Evelyn and Scarlett kicked him at the same time.

"Thank you for the reward." Even though he was thrown two meters from where he was, but his face was full of smiles.

The corner of Xiao Ming's lips twitched.

'This old man is really something!'

He suddenly wondered if he should stay away from Kieran or not.

"How about we talk inside? We can talk while drinking tea later." Xiao Ming thought it was better to talk in the restaurant because, with this, they could chat comfortably.

Yes, there was a restaurant in Maniacal Shrub Inn.

It was located on the first floor of the inn.

"I agree!" Kieran shouted happily after standing up.

Evelyn and Scarlett exchanged a glance with each other before finally nodding their heads. "Alright."

They wasted no time and immediately headed to the restaurant.

After stepping into the restaurant, Kieran smiled happily, "I really feel happy every time I'm in this place."

The restaurant was big, with many round wooden tables neatly arranged. Each table had a white tablecloth and eight chairs around it.

Evelyn and the others could see the people outside the inn because they were sitting by the window.

"I see." Scarlett finally knew what had happened to Evelyn and Xiao Ming.

"What?! You killed two magical beasts and fought the Winged Tiger?!" Kieran found it hard to believe what he was hearing.

'Doesn't he only have a handsome face? How could he kill two magical beasts? Not only that, he even dared to fight against the Winged Tiger.'

Of course, he knew about the Winged Tiger because that magical beast was one of the Rulers in Framingburns forest.

Framingburns forest was located next to Nightshire city. It was the forest where Xiao Ming met Evelyn.

"Ace, how strong are you now?" Kieran asked curiously.

"I'm strong enough to kill magical beasts at Novice rank." Xiao Ming then touched his chin. "Maybe I can defeat people who just reached Elite rank."

He was not bluffing.

With the help of his secret techniques, binding-partner mode and battle instinct, there was a high possibility that he could defeat people who had just broken through to Elite rank.

First, his secret techniques were deadly. Second, he could use the binding-partner mode, which would increase his level based on the chosen partner's class.

And last, all of his stats went up by five levels after he was in the battle instinct mode.

If he used his secret techniques when he was in the battle instinct mode and binding-partner mode, he was confident he could beat someone who had stats five levels above him.

This was the reason why he dared to say something like that. Of course, he knew he couldn't maintain his battle instinct mode for long.

That was why he would focus on making his body stronger because with this, he could use his battle instinct longer.

"Ren is, I mean, Ace is genius, so we should not put him on the same level as ordinary people. I'm sure he can become a powerful person in the future." Evelyn praised him. "He can even master magic in a few seconds."

"Magic?!" Kieran was startled after hearing Evelyn's words.

"Ace, you can use magic? But didn't you awaken the Knight class?" like Kieran, Scarlett was also shocked, but she did not show it on her pretty face.

Kieran suddenly remembered something important. "Ace, are you…Rheanix?"

"Rheanix? I'm not Rheanix. I'm…" Xiao Ming couldn't remember the title for the person who awakened all classes. "Big sister, what was it called again?"

"Ace is Aeris." Evelyn stated. "He awakened all the classes, but for some reason, he can't learn Archer skills for now."

"What?! Aeris? The toy boy is an Aeris?!" Kieran said in surprise.
