Chapter 74 Carrying Out His Evil Plan

"Yes. It's from an artifact." Ace lied to Scarlett.

'Please don't ask more questions, Scarlett.'

He did not want to keep lying.

He could use defensive formation because he got a formation card from his system. Otherwise, there was no way he could do that.

Scarlett decided not to ask more questions because it was written on his face that he wished she did not throw another question.

'He has so many secrets.'

She hoped he would tell her everything in the future.

*Crack…Crack…Crunch…

The sound of the barrier being smashed into pieces reverberated in the entire area.

Ace lifted his head to look at them.

'Oh, they have destroyed the barrier?'

He tried his best to hide the happiness within him.

"Are you sure they can't destroy this formation later?" Scarlett threw a question.

"This formation can only be destroyed by awakeners at Grandmaster rank or above, so you don't need to worry about it." He gave an honest answer.

"I see." She believed his words because there was no reason to lie about it.

"Potions, weapons, armors, and money. Haha." Jordan laughed happily when he saw a treasure in front of him. "We found a treasure."

Like Jordan, Zane and the others also found treasure. They also saw potions, weapons, armors, and money on their floating stones.

They found sixty weapons, fifty armors, forty potions, six thousand copper coins, nine hundred silver coins, and three hundred gold coins.

"Leader, these weapons and armors are at Rare and Unique rank." One of Reese's underlings uttered.

Armors and weapons were divided into six ranks. From the lowest to the highest, it was Common, Rare, Unique, Legendary, Myth, and Divine.

They got many weapons and armors at Rare and Unique ranks, so their harvest was good.

One by one, people from two families and three organizations jumped down from the floating stones.

Even though they were allies, but they were still wary of each other. After all, a treasure could make anyone do anything, including killing people.

Jordan, who saw Ace standing on the stone platform, smirked. "What are you doing there? Are you waiting for treasures to fall from the sky?"

Jimmy walked closer to Ace.

His intention was clear.

He wanted to mock Ace!

Ace kept causing him trouble earlier, so he wanted to make fun of Ace.

Jimmy took one copper coin out of his space ring and threw it at Ace. "I got a treasure just now. This is my thanks to you for opening the stone door."

"Here. I will give you one copper coin too." after saying that, Jordan threw a copper coin at Ace.

*Clink…Clink…Clinkkkkk…

The sound of two copper coins falling to the stone platform reverberated in the entire area.

These two copper coins were able to pass through the barrier because Ace told his system not to block it.

Ace shifted his gaze to the copper coins before finally returning his attention to Jimmy and Jordan again.

Was he angry at them?

No!

He even smiled when they were mocking him because he would be the one laughing in the end.

"Haha." Jimmy and Jordan laughed happily.

Reese and the others stared at Ace without saying a single word.

Even though they thanked him for opening the stone door, but they had no intention of giving him their treasures.

In order to get the treasure, they lost a few people, so there was no way they would give Ace their treasures.

​ "If you kneel before me and beg me, maybe I will give you more money later." Jimmy kept humiliating Ace because he hated Ace to the bone. "Haha."

"Oh, right. I will give you ten gold coins if you kneel before me right now." Jordan added.

Scarlett was furious.

Her eyes were filled with flames of fury.

She was unhappy.

She hated it because they kept humiliating Ace.

'How dare you humiliate my Ace!'

She wanted to attack them so badly.

However, Ace stopped her. "You don't need to be angry because we will be the ones laughing at the end."

Scarlett turned her head to look at him.

'He still manages to stay calm even though they are mocking him non-stop.'

She suddenly felt proud because she was his sugar mama.

'I will reward him after we leave this place.'

What she meant was that she would reward him in bed because he loved having sex with her.

"So, how is it? Are you going to kneel befo-" Jimmy stopped his words halfway when a barrier stopped him from approaching Ace.

'What?! A barrier?!'

He did not expect a barrier to suddenly appear.

At the same time, a flash of huge blue lightning shot down from the sky, trying to burn him into ash.

"Agghhh." Jimmy cried out in pain.

He failed to avoid the blue lightning as it suddenly attacked him.

"Agghhh." Even though Jimmy was still alive, but he was lying on the ground helplessly.

'Help me…'

He extended his right hand toward Jordan, asking him to help him.

Jordan looked at his strongest subordinate. "Save him."

"Understood." His subordinate had great speed, so he could save Jimmy before the lightning struck him again.

Jimmy gritted his teeth.

'That devil!'

He only wanted to humiliate Ace.

He just did not expect that he almost lost his life because of it. "Why did you set up a formation on that stone platform?"

The people from three organizations and two families looked at Ace.

They wanted to know why Ace suddenly set up a formation around the stone platform because there was no treasure there.

"Are you afraid we will attack you?" one of Jordan's subordinates spoke abruptly.

He thought Ace was afraid of them attacking him because he had done something unpleasant to them before.

Ace put his hands behind his back and uttered, "You guys could enter this small world because I managed to open the stone door. It could be said you got a treasure thanks to me."

Lily and the others admitted that he made a huge contribution because he was the one who opened the stone door.

"I'm sure you guys want to get out of this small world immediately because you all have gotten what you want." Ace did not go straight to the point.

"Do you have a way to get out of this place?" Lily asked curiously.

"I found a way to get out of this place. This stone platform is an ancient teleportation formation." Ace was telling the truth.

Scarlett turned her head to look at him.

'So, it's time to carry out his plan, huh?'

Of course, she knew what his plan was because he had told her everything earlier.

"However, this formation had been broken long ago." Ace tried to fool them again. "When you guys picked up the treasure, I did my best to repair this formation."

He then continued, "I used a lot of energy to repair this ancient teleportation formation until I finally managed to refine it."

"What?! So, the way out of this place is on that stone platform?!" Jordan and the others were stunned.

[All Devine beings finally understood your plan.]

Scarlett, who was standing next to him, tried her best not to laugh.

'What do you mean by saying you repaired this formation? All we have been doing is only standing on this stone platform. We didn't do anything other than that.'

Of course, she knew that Ace was fooling them.

Jordan's strongest subordinate suddenly rushed toward the formation, trying to destroy the barrier. "I will destroy this barrier."

Bang!

He hit the barrier.

However, he failed to destroy it because his power was too weak to destroy it.

Boom!

A huge blue lightning shot down from the sky after his right hand came into contact with the barrier.

"Aggghhh…" A soul-piercing howl of pain reverberated in the entire area.

'I can't destroy this barrier.'

He returned to Jordan's side.

Ace was not surprised because he already knew about it. "You guys won't be able to destroy this barrier because it can only be destroyed by awakeners at the Grandmaster rank and above."

"What is your goal? Why are you blocking the way out of this place? Do you want to rob us?" Lily threw many questions at once.

"Like I said, I used a lot of energy to repair this formation. You guys want to use it immediately? There couldn't be such good things in this world." Ace began to carry out his plan.

'I even need to pay to pee in my previous life.'

He added in his mind.

"In order to appreciate my hard work, you have to pay me if you want to use this teleportation formation." Ace finally revealed his real intention.

'I will make them cry, especially Jordan, Jimmy, and the people from the Black Tiger Organization.'
