Chapter 244 Becoming Famous
Leo was focused on the arrow, so he did not realize that he had fallen into Ace's trap.
'Shit!'
That was the word that appeared in his mind when he saw a magic circle under his feet.
*Srth…Srth…Srth …
Six ice chains shot out from a magic circle and entangled him, causing him to be unable to move his body.
When Henry saw an arrow flying toward Leo's chest, he shouted, "No!"
*Pierce…
The arrow pierced his chest.
"Uakkk." blood splashed out of Leo's mouth.
"Stop!" Henry shouted again when Ace used the Moon Slice skill to attack Leo.
"Uaak…" Leo coughed up blood before finally falling to the ground and unconscious.
"How dare you!" Henry jumped from the second floor and roared.
He could not suppress his anger and immediately used his magic to attack Ace.
When Aron saw Earth Eagle flying toward Ace, he instantly stood before Ace and used his skill to destroy the Earth Eagle.
"Henry, what the hell are you doing?" Aron was unhappy with Henry's actions.
"Shut up!" the flames of anger had consumed his body, so Henry could not think straight. "He has injured my son. I have to teach him a lesson!"
At this moment, all of Ace's underlings retrieved their weapons and were ready to attack Henry.
"How dare you attack my leader!" Aniya held her dangers firmer.
Lily rose from her seat and uttered, "Lala, let's help Ace and kill that asshole."
"Un." Lala agreed instantly.
Henry ignored them and began chanting a magic spell. "Goddess Teressa, please bestow power to your follo-"
Before he had finished chanting a magic spell, a deadly slash flew toward him. Of course, he did not know about this because he was focused on chanting a magic spell.
"Uaakk…" Henry was thrown several meters before finally crashing against a wall.
"Serve you right!"
"Stupid!"
"Why did he suddenly attack Ace? Is he unable to accept reality?"
"He doesn't want to admit his son lost against Ace."
"Actually, I had guessed something like this would happen if Ace defeated Leo."
"Yeah. I had guessed this too."
"Does he think he can do whatever he wants just because he is from a big family?"
"He is injured. Serve you right!"
The onlookers did not feel sorry for Henry because he suddenly tried to attack Ace.
Everything was his fault, so he deserved it!
Henry ignored the chatter and looked in the direction the surprise attack had come from.
'Valeria?!'
He knew Valeria was the one who attacked him because she was holding her daggers.
"Henry, what are you doing? Why did you try to attack Ace? Am I invisible in your eyes? Or do you think you are the city lord of this city?" Scarlett's eyes gleamed with terrifying sharpness, and every single one of her words was filled with coldness.
At that moment, she did not look like a caring city mistress but a devil queen who was ready to eat her prey.
Henry could not answer her questions because he lost control of himself when Ace defeated and injured his son.
"Young lord."
"Young lord."
"Young lord."
Henry's subordinates immediately treated Leo's injuries.
"Henry, answer me! Why did you try to attack Ace?" Scarlett's cold voice echoed throughout the arena.
"I'm sorry. I lost control of myself earlier." Henry could not do anything but apologize.
Scarlett shifted her gaze from Henry to Ace. "Ace, what do you want to do to him?"
"Henry, I know you hate me, and I also hate you, so why don't we solve our old and new grudge now? Let's have a duel right here right now." even though he had just fought Leo, Ace believed he could defeat Henry because he could use Recovery and Energy Replenishment features.
Henry stared at Ace as he clenched his fist.
He was furious.
He was enraged because everything was out of his control again.
He wanted to accept the challenge and avenge his son, but he knew he would not be able to defeat Ace.
His son, who was stronger than him, lost to Ace, so accepting the challenge was the same as digging his own grave.
He dared to try to attack Ace because he could not think straight and lost control of himself, or else he would not do that.
'Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!'
The flames of anger flared up violently because Ace cornered him again.
"Henry, why are you so quiet?"
"You are not afraid of him, right?"
"Just accept the challenge and have a duel with him."
"That's right. You are the head of a big family, so you should not be afraid of a young man."
"Yes. Otherwise, you will lose your reputation."
"Duel."
"Duel."
"Duel."
"Duel."
"Duel."
One by one, the onlookers told Henry to accept the challenge because they wanted to see the duel between Ace and Henry.
Henry gritted his teeth before finally apologizing. "I'm sorry for attacking you. I lost control of myself earlier."
"Tch! Boring!"
"What a coward!"
"What?! He did not dare to duel with Ace?!"
"As I thought, he is a coward."
"Hey, he is weaker than his son, so it's normal for him to refuse Ace's challenge."
"Ah, you are right."
"Ah. I forgot about this."
The audience began to speak ill of him.
Henry could not say anything and only stared at them.
He hated to admit it, but what they said was right.
He did not dare to accept the challenge!
Henry looked at Ace one last time before finally speaking, "Let's go home."
After Henry and his underlings left, Scarlett's subordinates and the citizens rushed toward Ace.
"Ace, why didn't you tell us that you were an Aeris?"
"Ace, you were so cool earlier."
"Ace, be my boyfriend."
"Ace, I love you!"
"Ace, you are my idol now."
They immediately surrounded Ace.
As they were throwing many questions at Ace, Lala and Lily exchanged a glance with each other.
"Let's return to the hotel and make a plan to kill Leo." Lily spoke abruptly.
"Alright." Lala agreed.
----
Henry's House, Leo's Room.
Leo was currently lying on the bed. Even though a healing mage had treated his injuries, he was still unconscious.
Actually, he was lucky because he would have been dead by now if they did not treat his injuries immediately because Ace's attack was deadly.
"How is his condition?" Henry, who was standing next to Leo, inquired.
"Even though his life is no longer in danger, it will take him a few days to regain consciousness." The healing mage responded.
"I see." Henry looked at his son with a sad expression. "You can leave now."
The healing mage bowed his head slightly before finally leaving.
Henry took a chair and put it next to the bed.
'Son…'
----
Ace's House, Living Room.
Ace was currently sitting on a couch with a big smile on his face.
He was thrilled because now, everyone in Nightshire City knew that he was not a weak young man.
He was not a young man who only had a handsome face.
He was a powerful awakener.
He was an Aeris!
They even began calling him a genius or the chosen one.
This was the reason why his heart throbbed with happiness because one of his goals had been achieved.
'Now, my next goal is to become the strongest person in this city.'
