"What?!" Scarlett was startled. "Why do you suddenly want to conquer Framingburns forest?"

"Because, with this, I can protect the citizens of Nightshire City." Ace told her that he would forbid all magical beasts from attacking the citizens after conquering Framingburns forest.

Scarlet touched her chin with her right hand.

'What he said is right, but…'

She still could not accept his idea completely.

Even though the strongest magical beast they had ever encountered was only at 4-star, they still did not know the full extent of the Framingburn forest.

What if there were 5-star or 6-star magical beasts later?

The Framingburn Forest was so big, so the possibility of powerful magical beasts hiding deep in the forest still existed.

Because Scarlett still had not answered his question, he asked again, "So, what do you think of my idea?"

"Your idea is good, but what if there is a 6-star magical beast later?" Scarlett did not want him to get injured.

His contribution to the city and the citizens was already big and numerous. It could even be said that he was the person who contributed the most to Nightshire City.

That was why she still could not accept his idea completely because his contribution to Nightshire City was already more than enough.

He also needed to think about his safety because many people would be sad if something bad happened to him.

And she was one of these people.

"I'm already at 5-star…I mean, I'm already at the Exalted rank. I believe I can run away if I meet 6-star magical beast." Even though he could not use the Lightning Move skill, but he could fly fast.

His flying speed was not even worse than the Lightning Move skill, so he was confident he could escape if he was in danger.

"Ace, your contribution to our city is already more than enough, so you don't need to put yourself in danger again." After thinking for several minutes, Scarlett decided to disagree with his idea.

Of course, Ace knew the reason why she disagreed with his idea.

"Scarlett, we can use them to protect our city if I can conquer them." he uttered, "Not only that, I can also use them to attack people who make me a fugitive or attack the Holmes family."

"If that is what you want, then I will support you." She said, "But you need to ask Layla, sister Lexie, and sister Valeria's opinions first."

She then continued, "If they agree, you can try conquering Framingburns forest, but if they disagree, I want you to forget that idea."

"Sure." Ace agreed instantly.

After the citizens finished collecting wood, Scarlett and Ace went home.

Like usual, they chatted in the backyard because Ace could not enter Scarlett's house. His body was too big to fit the door, so he always stayed in the backyard.

Of course, they had built a place for him to sleep because they did not want him to feel cold at night.

"What?! You want to conquer the Framingburns forest?" like Scarlett, Valeria and the others were shocked after hearing his crazy idea.

"I disagree." Layla answered instantly. "Even though you are strong, but it's still dangerous. I'm against your idea."

"I also disagree, but I won't stop you if you really want to do it." Valeria had promised to always support him, so she would not stop him if he wanted to conquer Framingburns forest.

"I…" Lexie could not give her answer immediately.

Like Layla, she also disagreed, but at the same time, she wanted to support him like Valeria.

For this reason, she could not give her answer because she always wanted to support him, but she also did not want him to put himself in a dangerous situation.

"Then how about this?" Ace told them that he would not put himself in a dangerous situation.

He would only attack magical beasts that were weaker than him. He would also report to them about his activities.

Layla and the others finally agreed.

However, he had to promise himself that he would only attack magical beasts that were weaker than him.

"Oh, right, Scarlett. Saintess Alicia said…" Ace told Scarlett about the orphanage.

"Sure. We will name it under the name of Goddess Teressa later." Scarlett agreed immediately.

There were two reasons why Scarlett agreed immediately.

First, Saintess Alicia saved her city and the citizens. And lastly, this was a golden opportunity to build a good relationship with Goddess Teressa temple.

With this, they would have support if they faced a big problem again.

As the Ruler of Nightshire City, she needed to think ahead because she had a responsibility to protect her people.

"Good." Ace said happily.

Shortly after that, they held a small party in the backyard.

Ace also invited his underlings to eat with them because it could make the atmosphere better.

----

The following day, Ace and his underlings went to Framingburns forest. At first, he wanted to go alone, but his underlings insisted on following him.

His women immediately agreed because, with this, his safety would be more guaranteed.

"Do you guys have the skills to find out the location of powerful magical beasts?" Ace inquired.

Ace only brought five subordinates with him.

They were Silvia, Viviya, Mia, Leena and Renea.

There were two reasons why he did not bring all of his underlings. First, they were his strongest subordinates. And last, they were not human.

Silvia and Viviya were elves.

Mia was half-elf.

Leena was a cat girl, and Renea was a fox.

He was a dragon, so it would be weird to bring his human underlings.

That was why he only brought five subordinates with him because they were non-human.

"No." Silvia shook her head.

"I don't have that kind of skill." Viviya and the others said in unison.

Ace sighed before finally speaking, "It seems like we have to use an inelegant method."

'Sigh. I really don't want to use this method because it will ruin my good image.'

He added in his mind.

Silvia and the others tilted their heads to the left. "An inelegant method?"

"Cover your ears now." Ace did not explain his idea and told them to cover their ears.

Silvia and the others did what they were told.

Without waiting for another second, Ace roared.

*Roar…

Ace was a dragon now, so his roar was terrifying.

As he was roaring, he shot ice into the sky, challenging all magical beasts in Framingburns forest.

Renea and the others were shocked by his actions.

They did not expect him to do something like that because, in their eyes, their leader was a cool person.

No!

A cool dragon.

"Beautiful!" Mia said when she saw countless ice pellets falling from the sky.

"ROOAARRR…" Ace did not stop roaring because he wanted all magical beasts to come to him.

And his method worked.

More than twenty magical beasts appeared shortly after that.

Unfortunately, the strongest among them was only at 3-star.

Silvia turned her head toward the magical beasts and uttered, "Leader, they are coming."

Ace stopped roaring and looked at them.

'Good!'

He was pleased because his plan worked well.

'Now, it's show time.'
