Chapter 220 Are You Looking For Me?
Riley Family, Family Room.
Two people were sitting on a couch in a family room; a young man and a grown man.
The mature man had red hair and brown eyes, while the young man had blue hair and green eyes.
Even though they had different hair and eye colors, anyone who saw them would know immediately that they were father and son because their faces resembled each other.
The names of the duo were Morgan Riley and Blake Riley, a father and a son.
"Haha. Good job, son. Good Job. You are indeed my son whom I'm most proud of." Morgan felt a flush of happiness after his son said he had broken through to the Master rank because his family finally had an awakener at Master rank again after such a long time.
"All of this thanks to your support, father." Blake smiled softly when he saw his father's happy face.
Even though he knew his father would be happy with the good news, but seeing his happy face directly made his heart jump for joy.
"Now that you have broken through to the Master rank, we can become one of the big families in this city again. We can regain our previous reputation, and no one will underestimate us anymore now. Haha." Morgan expressed his happiness by laughing.
There were five big families in Nightshire City five years ago; Rivas, Olson, Howard, Ruiz, and Riley families.
However, everything changed after the magical beasts attacked the city.
Riley family lost many subordinates during the attack, and their strongest awakener died shortly after that.
Even though they could regain their wealth, they could not become a big family anymore because they did not have an awakener at Master rank.
There were two criteria to become a big family in Nightshire City.
First, they had to be rich, and last, they needed to have at least one awakener at Master rank.
This was the reason why the Riley family could not become a big family because their only Master rank awakener died in Framingburns forest two months after the magical beasts attacked the city.
"Father will support you even more now. Father hopes you can become the strongest awakener in this city later." Blake was his only hope to raise their family's status, so Morgan would support his son more because it could be said his son played an important role in their family's future.
"I will try my best to become the strongest awakener in this city, father." Blake stated.
"Haha. Good! Good! Good!" Morgan said good three times because he was satisfied with his son's words and determination.
As Morgan was talking happily with Blake, Alvin stepped into the family room.
Blake rushed toward Alvin with a worried face when he saw his battered face. "Brother, what happened to you?"
Like Blake, Morgan also dashed toward Alvin with a worried face. "Alvin, who did this to you?"
"It's Ace." Alvin gave an honest answer. "Ace beat me up in front of everyone earlier."
"Ace?!" Morgan and Blake were shocked after hearing his words.
"How could you lose to Ace? Isn't he a weak boy toy?" Blake found it hard to believe what he was hearing.
Even though his brother was weak, but he was still an awakener at Novice rank. His brother should not have lost to Ace because Ace was only a weak boy toy.
"It seems like the rumors are true." Morgan heard some rumors about Ace lately, but he did not believe it.
Blake shifted his gaze from his brother to his father. "What rumors?"
Riley family did not participate in the monster subjugation mission, so they had no idea about Ace's achievements.
"The rumors said..." Morgan started to tell all the rumors he had heard about Ace.
"He is at Master rank and a Rheanix too? Haha." Blake laughed loudly.
Ace was a weak boy the last time they met, so he did not believe it. After all, it was impossible to reach Master rank from nothing in just a few months.
Even geniuses needed at least twenty years to reach Master rank from Novice rank. But here, the rumors stated Ace could reach Master rank in just a few months.
It was ridiculous.
It was ludicrous.
Who was Ace?
Was he God's son?
Was he the Ruler's son?
Or was he from a powerful organization?
The answer to all of these questions was no.
Ace was only a boy toy.
There was nothing special about him.
He even did not have parents.
Sure, Ace had Scarlett, but she did not always help him.
So, why did they make up such rumors?
Wasn't that amusing?
"Why didn't they create rumors stating that he was at Grandmaster rank and an Aeris? Isn't that better? Haha." Like before, Blake laughed loudly again.
"Brother, stop laughing and help me get my revenge." Alvin wanted his elder brother to beat up Ace because Ace had humiliated him in public.
Blake stopped laughing and uttered, "Alright. I will help you take revenge now."
"Haha. Good!" Alvin was delighted after hearing his brother's words.
When Morgan saw his two sons walking out of the family room, he uttered, "Blake, don't kill him. Just beat him up."
"Don't worry, father. I know what I should not do." Blake answered without looking at his father. "Brother, I will let you beat him up too later."
'Just you wait, Ace. I will humiliate you in front of everyone later.'
He added in his mind.
"Haha. You are indeed the best, brother." Alvin laughed happily.
'Just you wait, Ace. I will humiliate you in front of everyone later.'
He added in his mind.

Ace and his underlings were still promoting his restaurant.
Like before, all women tried to take advantage of the situation because it was a good chance to get close to him.
They even behaved as if they did not see what he had done to Alvin because they forgot about his bad deeds when they saw his charming smile.
"Ace, I'm willing to buy all your food if you agree to spend the night at my house."
"Me too. I will buy all your food if you agree to go on a date with me."
"Ace, as long as you kiss me, I will buy all your food."
"Ace, I will buy all your food if you let me kiss you."
All women did not feel shy when they said these words.
They even tried to seduce him with their bodies because they wanted to get close to the most handsome man in their city.
"Everyone, how about this? I will kiss your hand if you buy food in my restaurant." Ace uttered, "You don't need to buy all the food. Just buying one food is enough. How is it?"
"I agreed. Here, take my money."
"I will buy it."
"Here's my money."
"Here's my money."
"Ace, take my money."
"Ace, my money is yours."
They immediately took their money out of their wallets.
As they were trying to give their money to Ace, a voice suddenly rang out. "Ace, come out. You slapped my face many times earlier. I want you to kneel before me and apologize."
Of course, he would not forgive Ace even if Ace knelt before him and apologized because Ace had humiliated him in public.
He said these words because he wanted to humiliate Ace first before finally beating him up.
Everyone instantly turned their heads toward the source of the sound.
'It's him again?!'
Ace's underlings were furious because Alvin tried to cause trouble to their leader again.
"It's him again!"
"That asshole!"
"We should have killed him earlier!"
"Should I kill him now?"
"How dare he try to cause trouble to our leader? Is he tired of living?"
"Vice leader, let's kill him now."
"That's right, vice leader. Let's kill him now."
One by one, his underlings voiced out their annoyance.
"Let's wait for our leader's orders first." Even though Silvia was annoyed, she could still control herself.
"Tch!" Ace's underlings looked at Alvin angrily.
Like Ace's subordinates, all the women were also enraged.
"Bastard, why are you causing trouble for our Ace again? Do you want to get beaten up again?"
"Fucker, leave this place immediately! Don't disturb our time with Ace anymore!"
"Asshole, why do you keep causing trouble? Do you think this city is yours? Do you think your family is great?"
"Tch! No wonder the Riley family is no longer a big family. It's because they can't educate their children."
"That's right. Their behavior is even worse than that of my dog."
"I believe the Riley family will fall again in the future."
"By looking at the behavior of their children, I believe the destruction of their family is not far off."
"I think so too."
"Hey, let's report them to the city guard."
"Yes. Let's report them."
All women could not suppress their anger.
Previously, Ace was about to kiss their hands, but Alvin suddenly appeared and caused trouble again, causing the atmosphere to be ruined.
This was the reason why they started to speak ill of his family because he kept causing trouble to Ace.
Alvin, who was standing with the help of his subordinate, gritted his teeth.
'Damn it! How dare these sluts insult my family!'
He was enraged, but he could not do anything to them.
Blake immediately released his aura. "Shut up, you bitch!"
All the women instantly trembled when they felt his terrifying aura.
"Ace, come out! Don't hide behind a woman!" Blake roared.
Ace's underlings immediately walked closer toward him.
Even though he was already at the Master rank, none of them showed the slightest fear in their eyes.
Ace emerged from the crowd and inquired, "Are you looking for me?"
