Chapter 195 Defeating Mia



As Lala and Lily were quarreling with Henry in the backyard, a voice suddenly rang out, "My father told you to leave our house. Leave now, or else I will kill you later!"

Lala and Lily turned their heads toward the source of the sound.

'A young man?'

They saw a young man who looked exactly like Henry.

The color of his hair, eyes, facial structure, and body were similar to Henry's. 

If Henry were as young as that young man, everyone would think of him as Henry's twin brother.

The name of that young man was Leo, Henry's first child.

Leo, who had just returned home, immediately headed to the backyard when one of his family subordinates told him what was happening there.

Rage pulsed through his veins when he heard the twins' words. He was in a bad mood because he could not kill Ace immediately.

This was the reason why he could not suppress his anger when he heard the twins' words.

"No! He can't unilaterally cancel the agreement." Of course, Lily refused instantly. "We were almost dead when he fought Ace several days ago, so we won't accept this."

"That's right." Lala added. "We even had spent money to travel to this city from Ocaven Kingdom."

"You were almost dead and dared to blame my father? You should blame yourself for being weak. Don't blame others for your incompetence. It's your fault for being weak." Even though Leo knew that Lala and Lily were awakeners at Master rank, he was not afraid of them because, in his eyes, they were weaklings.

"Son, you have returned home?" Henry was delighted when he saw his son.

"Young lord."

"Young lord."

"Young lord."

One by one, Henry's subordinates greeted Leo.

"I will give you one last chance." Leo spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "Leave our house now or I will beat you up."

Lala and Lily gritted their teeth.

Henry was the one who hired them, but now he threw them away without caring about their feelings.

He even treated them badly, as if they were tools that were being thrown away because he no longer needed them. 

"Then pay us first. We will leave after that." Lily did not want to leave without receiving payment.

"Looks like I have to beat you first before making you listen to me." after saying that, Leo retrieved his sword from his space ring and attacked Lily and Lala.

"Attack them!" Henry's subordinates also attacked them.

Lily took her spear while Lala retrieved her bow. 

Even though they were being ganged up by Leo and his subordinates, they were not afraid and fought them bravely.

However, Leo was much stronger than them, so he could injure them in a short amount of time.

*Uakk…

Lala and Lily were thrown ten meters before finally crashing against a wall.

Henry, who saw the fight, smirked. "That is what you get for causing trouble in my house."

"Beat them to death!" Henry's subordinates kept attacking Lala and Lily.

Even though the twins could injure them, but Henry's subordinates managed to land several attacks on their bodies.

Now, they were heavily injured, and blood kept coming out of their wounds.

"Lala, let's leave." they would die if they kept fighting Leo and his subordinates, so Lily suggested they leave Henry's house.

"Alright." Lala agreed instantly because she knew the consequences if they did not run away.

They took one last look at Henry before finally jumping over the wall. 

'We will remember this.'

They would take revenge when the opportunity arose because Henry did not want to pay them and also caused them heavily injuries.

"Chase them!" Henry's subordinates roared.

"Stop! Don't chase them!" Henry stopped his subordinates from chasing Lala and Lily. "Just go back to your positions."

"Understood, lord." Henry's subordinates responded in unison.

Leo turned around and walked toward his father.

After sitting on the opposite side of him, Leo inquired, "Father, were they the ones you paid to kill Ace?"

"Yes." Henry gave an honest answer. "But they are incompetence. How dare they ask for payment when they failed to kill him."

"Don't worry, father. I will kill Ace. I will avenge my brother." The flames of fury appeared in Leo's eyes when he said this.

His hatred toward Ace was as deep as the sea now.

First, Ace was Scarlett's boy toy, causing her father to be unable to get her. And last, Ace was the mastermind behind his brother's death.

No matter what happened, he would kill Ace. 

He would avenge his brother.

And he would make Ace kneel before his brother's grave. 

"You have to kill him, but don't act recklessly." Henry's hatred toward Ace was also as deep as the sea.

If Scarlett were not the city mistress of Nightshire city, he would have killed Ace long ago. He could not kill Ace directly because Ace was Scarlett's boy toy.

He believed something bad would happen to him and his family if he did that. This was the reason why he never tried to kill Ace directly.

"Don't worry, father. I know what I should do." Leo responded, "I know a few ways to kill him without needing to intervene. We only need to wait for him to return to Nightshire city."

Henry was pleased after hearing his son's words.

'Ace, you have to pay the price for killing my second son.'

----

Phoenix Organization, Front Yard.

"Fight!" Viviya got out of the practice ring after saying that.

Mia wasted no time and rushed toward Ace.

*Clink…Clang…Clink…

The sound of weapons clashing reverberated in the front yard.

Mia attacked Ace continuously and from all directions. 

She tried to defeat him quickly because she wanted to show him that the Phoenix organization was powerful.

Ace, who was blocking her attacks, had a calm face.

'She is strong.'

Mia was a strong awakener, but she was weaker than Valeria.

Her speed, her attacks, her movements; everything was predictable.

He could even read her attack patterns.

This was the reason why he still had a calm face. 

"Whoa! He is strong!"

"As expected of our leader's successor!"

"Damn! He even still has a calm face."

"Does that mean he still hasn't fought Mia seriously?"

"But Mia also hasn't fought him seriously."

"I wonder who will win in the end."

They were startled when they saw Ace's performance.

Even though Mia attacked him continuously and from all directions, Ace still had a calm face, as if he was facing a little girl.

"What do you think, vice leader?" Viviya, who was standing on Silvia's right side, inquired.

"He is strong." Silvia admitted that Ace was a powerful awakener because he could block all Mia's attacks with a calm face.

"Do you think he can win against Mia?" Renea asked curiously. 

"I don't know." Silvia responded, "Even though Ace is strong, but Mia is also powerful."

"That's right." Leena added. "Mia is strong."

Valeria, who was on Silvia's left side, did not say anything.

'Ace will win.'

She knew Ace would win because he still had not fought Mia seriously.

The moment he was serious, Mia would lose instantly.

After all, she knew how strong Ace was.

"Slash of Light!" Mia decided to use her strongest skill because she always failed to injure Ace.

When Ace saw a powerful slash flying at him, he decided to use the third form of Yin-Yang Dragon skill.

At first, he wanted to use the second form, but he changed his mind because her attack was so strong.

*Roar…

A huge golden dragon roared after coming out of the Yin-Yang symbol.

Valeria, who saw his skill, mused. "It's over. She lost this fight."

She had seen how powerful his skill was. At that time, Trakor and Zaruk combined their Rare rank skill to attack Ace. 

However, their combination attack got destroyed by Ace's skill instantly.

Sure, she admitted that Mia's attack was strong, but her attack was not as powerful as the combination attack from Trakor and Zaruk.

This was the reason why she knew the winner of the fight had been decided. 

"My ears! It hurts!"

"My ears hurt!"

Most members of the Phoenix organization clutched their ears.

The third form of Yin-Yang Dragon skill was no longer at Rare rank, so the roar of the giant golden dragon was enough to hurt the ears of awakeners at Novice and Elite rank.

"What a powerful skill!" Viviya stated.

"Is it a skill at Rare rank?" Renea was also shocked when she saw his skill. 

"No. This skill is at Unique rank!" Silvia had seen a skill at Unique rank before, so she could tell what rank his skill was.

"What?! At Unique rank?!" Viviya, Renea, and Leena said in surprise.

Mastering a skill at a Rare rank was already hard. Many awakeners even could not master skills at Rare rank.

But here, Ace, who was still under twenty years old, could use a skill at a Unique rank. 

At that moment, one question appeared in their minds.

What grade was his talent?

Like Silvia and the others, Mia was also stunned when she saw the giant golden dragon. Due to how shocked she was, she even stood like a statue.

No!

The reason why she stood like a statue was that Ace's attack was aimed at her.

Sure, everyone also felt fear when they saw the golden dragon, but at that moment, what she felt was a hundred times more terrifying because his attack was aimed at her.

After seeing the golden dragon destroy her attack and fly toward her, one question appeared in her mind.

'Am I going to die today?'
