Chapter 322 That Reward Is Mine
"What is it?" Saintess Alicia was curious about what Ace wanted to say to her.
"It's about orphanage." Ace said he wanted to build an orphanage immediately because he did not want the orphans to keep living in the tent.
However, they would only give the name of the orphanage after Scarlett regained consciousness because he was not the lord of Nightshire City.
If Scarlett agreed, the orphanage would be under the name of the goddess Teressa, but if she did not agree, the orphanage would be under the name of Nightshire City.
"Alright." Saintess Alicia agreed instantly.
Shortly after that, Ace left to find builders.
He asked them to build a big orphanage in the Rilt district.
He also asked them to rebuild his mansion and restaurant. Of course, the builders agreed instantly because he was their hero.
After that, Ace went to the city guard headquarters to see Colonel Louie and the others giving the spoils of war to the citizens.

Luvrela Region, Xiriel Kingdom.
Two people were standing on the city wall. The red-haired man wore a crown on his head, while the blue-haired man wore a knight suit of armor.
Their names were Finley Beatrice and Asher Finch, the king of the Xiriel Kingdom and the captain of the royal knights.
Finley decided to stand on the wall because he wanted to see his city. He had free time, so he used it to see the beauty of his city.
"Captain Asher, don't you think our city is beautiful?" Finley smiled softly as he saw the beautiful view before him.
"It is as beautiful as you say, Your Majesty." Captain Asher responded.
When Finley was about to say something, a gorgeous lady in golden armor approached them.
The lady had long red hair and golden eyes. The name of this lady was Victoria Becker, a woman who had fifteen thousand troops under her command.
Victoria bowed slightly when she was on Finley's right side.
She did not stand in front of Finley because Finley was on the wall. "Your Majesty, Colonel Nolan and Rosie failed in carrying out their mission."
Colonel Nolan and Rosie were people sent by Finley to control Alselian City. Their names in Alselian City were Kevin and Lara.
Lara lied to Aidan when she said Kevin was her childhood friend because she could not reveal the truth.
And when she said she had found three awakeners from a neighboring city to help Aidan, she also lied because these awakeners were Victoria and her two subordinates.
In other words, they were people sent by Finley.
Of course, Aidan did not know anything about this because he had no idea who Lara was.
"They failed?" Finley said in surprise. "Where is Colonel Nolan now?"
"He is dead, Your Majesty." Victoria responded.
"What?! He died?" Finley's face darkened. "Explain everything in detail."
"I and two of my subordinates traveled to Alselian City when Rosia requested one awakener at the Grandmaster rank and two at the Master rank to help her." Victoria said Alselian City had been destroyed, and no one was there when she arrived.
She knew what had happened because she found many residents not far from Alselian City.
The citizens told her about Ace and the others. They also described Ace's face in detail and said he was a devil in disguise.
"They were killed by a man named Ace." Victoria uttered, "Ace is a young man from Nightshire City."
"It's him again!?" even though Finley had never met Ace before, he knew who Ace was because Rosie had sent information about Ace before.
"Your Majesty, may this subject know the reason why you want to attack Nightshire City?" Asher asked curiously.
"Countless magical beasts attacked Nightshire City again several months ago. I suspect that treasure is in Nightshire City." Finley told Asher the reason why he ordered Rosie to attack Nightshire City.
"Then why don't we attack them directly?" Nightshire City was only a small city, so Asher believed they could destroy it easily.
"If we attacked Nightshire City directly, Veasal Kingdom would step in immediately." Finley told Asher the reason why he did not attack Nightshire City directly.
"Our strength is not lower than that of the Veasal Kingdom, so why should we be afraid of them?" Asher inquired.
"I'm not afraid of Veasal Kingdom." Finley said the Ocaven Kingdom would gain huge benefits if they fought against the Veasal Kingdom because they also wanted to be the Ruler of the Luvrela Region.
He wanted his kingdom to become the Ruler of the Luvrela region, so he had to act carefully because one mistake could destroy all the efforts he had made so far.
"Because of this, I don't know how to kill that young man." Finley sighed after saying that.
"Your Majesty, I have an idea how to kill him without intervening." Asher uttered.
"Oh? Tell me about it." Finley was curious about Asher's idea.
"Ace killed many people and destroyed Alselian City. We can use this fact to place a bounty on his head." Asher explained his idea. "With this, we can kill him without having to intervene."
"That's good idea, Captain Asher." Finley stated. "General Victoria, order your subordinate to place a bounty on his head."
He then continued, "Don't reveal anything about us. Just write that the secret organization will give 10,000 gold coins to anyone who can kill him. You know what to do, right?"
"I understood, Your Majesty." After saying that, General Victoria left.
"Captain Asher, let's go back." Finley uttered.
Asher immediately followed him from behind, protecting him from all kinds of things that could endanger his life.
----
The following day, Ace's wanted posters were scattered in the Luvrela Region. Some people were shocked, while the rest smiled happily.
They were shocked because a young man could destroy a city, and they were thrilled because they could become rich people fast.
The value of Ace's head was 10,000 gold coins.
It was a lot of money.
With 10,000 gold coins, they could live without working until they died, so the bounty was so tempting in their eyes.
For this reason, they wasted no time and traveled to Nightshire City because they wanted to kill Ace immediately.
'His head is mine.'
