Almighty Summoner System

Chapter 180 - The Provoked Beast

Seeing that Kuys had gone silent, Ban became worried that he might suspect him of being a member of a Dark Guild. 

After all, he also knew that reaching the F-Apprentice Rank within a week was a terrifying feat. The only reason he revealed it now was that Ban was also afraid that if Kuys found out about it from the others, and not from Ban's own mouth, he might get mad and suspect him again for being part of the Dark Guild and that the battle from earlier was only a ploy.

At this moment, Ban was only overthinking things. He has already grown attached to Kuys and the reason he was being paranoid was mostly due to the fact that Kuys' might abandon him and he might experience the same feeling when he was separated by his gramps before.

Contrary to Ban's thoughts, Kuys actually did not suspect him a bit about being a Dark Guild member. After all, for someone like him, spotting such people with their 'aura' was quite easy for someone like him. 

He won't even need the Pure River Water to distinguish a Dark Guild member in the crowd.

Anyways, Ban's worries were immediately soothed after Kuys rained him with praises on how much of a genius he was. 

Of course, Kuys also decided to limit the praise lest he gets overconfident on himself. 

Ban was instantly relieved and was even feeling happy after being showered by Kuys' praises. His confidence rose even more when Emilia herself joined in to praise him. 

Of course, Ban also maintained a clear line of being confident and arrogant. He knew where his 'genius' came from and he was forever grateful for the System for that. 

He thanked the System deep inside his heart along with the censored Ancient Summoner as well as the Transmigrator that gave him the opportunity to return back to life and restart again as a kid who obtained a powerful existence like the Almighty Summoner System. 

Kuys was startled the moment he heard Emilia praising Ban. He knew that Emilia was always shy around others, and more especially to Ban. 

For someone like her to praise him easily like that, there must be something going on that he didn't know about.

A strange smile surfaced in Kuys' face while thinking about it. It seems that he no longer needs to interfere after all. 

It was already getting late so after they rained down Ban with some praises, Kuys told them to let the Server Monkey get a proper rest and to also change their attires upstairs that now has some blood stains on some parts. 

He then told them to come back downstairs so that they could eat their dinner. 

The two did not object and Kuys immediately sent them upstairs with a smile on his face. 

However, the moment Ban and Emilia's figure disappeared in Kuys' view, the smile on his face instantly vanished. 

His two brows knitted together as the temperature of the first floor of the Kuys' Bar suddenly rose to another level. 

The customers present during this time felt the sudden change in temperature. A suffocating feeling arose in their heart the longer they stayed inside. In the end, as they could no longer bear it, the customers started to leave one by one while sweating bullets.

At this time, only a handful of the customers are left. 

The first floor became quite the next instant. The remaining customers did not move even an inch, it was as if time had been frozen in this place. 

Kuys waved his hand in the air and two of the customers suddenly went forward towards him. 

They half knelt to the floor with their heads lowered as they waited for Kuys to speak. 

"You know what to do!" 

Kuys said in an indifferent tone as he waved his hand in the air. 

"Yes, family head!" 

The two said in unison before standing up. 

And in unison, the two of them took a black and green mask from behind them and wore it in the next second. 

They are the two people who cleaned up Ban's mess earlier.

They then bowed towards Kuys before their figure disappeared like a smoke. 

After them, the remaining customers, as well as the other waitresses also put on their black and green mask before moving out of the Kuys Bar one after another.

The first floor became even quieter. However, the same could not be said for the situation of Eagle City. 

The night was still young. There was still plenty of time to kill before the next sun arose. 

The enemy had already been investigated when Ban mentioned it to Kuys before. His force was only waiting for the right moment to attack. 

After the investigation, he ordered two of them to guard Ban and Emilia in the shadows. He also ordered them not to interfere as long as their lives were not in imminent danger.

The moment the two masked individuals disappeared earlier. They immediately informed the others about their plan.

In an instant, movements could immediately be seen in the corner of the Eagle City. 

The butcher of a meat stall suddenly gazed in one direction before he hurriedly closed his stall. He wiped the butcher knife on his hand clean, went hurriedly home before he put on a black and green mask before disappearing 

A carriage driver who was amiably talking to his customers suddenly felt something and immediately gazed in one direction. He then apologized to his customers before putting on a black and green mask. The next instant, he disappeared like a smoke. 

A beggar on the street near the City Lord mansion gazed at the bowl of donated silver coins in his hand. He felt something and gazed in one direction like the others. A smile surfaced on his face before he stood up and moved towards an empty alley. Just like the others, he wore the green and black mask before disappearing like smoke. 

The same scenario could be seen playing around the Eagle City. All of them only have two things in common, one they are at least E-Elite Rank, two, they wore a green and black mask of a smiling panda. 

Deep in the Black Market, Mr. Nian gazed at one direction and said, "They're moving already, huh!"

A moment later, he also put on the same black and green mask. However, he did not move out unlike the others. He continued to sit on the small table and calmly brewed tea for himself.

The same scenario happened yet again all around the city. 

The time for someone like them to move has yet to arrive. 

…

Kuys gently shook the wine glass in his hands as he stared on the now desolate first floor. 

His gaze was deep and profound, no one knew what he was thinking. The Monster Tattoo of the panda on his shoulder seems to be moving, as if it was requesting to come out, itching for a good battle. 

However, Kuys just ignored it and continued to stare ahead of him. What was he really staring at? No one Knows. 

However, only one thing was for sure. The hidden beast of Eagle City was provoked, now the perpetrator must pay the price for it.

… 

Walking upstairs, Ban and Emilia did not know that all of the customers and the waitress had already left.

The moment they disappeared from Kuys' eyes, Ban instantly reached to hold her hand, startling her a bit. 

Ban was truly bold. 

However, Emilia did not reject it and even held his hand tightly as they ascended upstairs. 

The two of them did not talk but their feelings are mutual.

Ban escorted her all the way to her room and even helped her settle the Server Monkey on its own bed. 

After that, Ban suddenly stopped a kiss on her cheek, which made her blush. 

"Now, we're even," Ban smiled before walking upstairs, towards his attic. 

When Ban left, Emilia suddenly dropped to her bed while covering her face. 

She might have acted cool and restrained earlier but her true feelings erupted like a volcano at the moment. 

She took her pillow and smashed it into the bed quite hard. No one could explain how happy she was at the moment. Although their journey earlier had some accidents, for her, all that mattered was that she had already somehow confessed her feelings to Ban. 

Kuys knew of her crush towards Ban long ago, hence the reason for his action of always shipping them. Kuys only wanted to help her. 

She always looked at Ban from afar, ever since he arrived two years ago. She was only a fifteen years old girl back then while Ban was only thirteen. 

She acted shy around others but when no one was looking, she would always turn her head towards Ban. 

Her heart trembled as she continued to smash and punch the pillow around due to her excitement. 

It was only a while later that she calmed down. She stood up and went to the shower to clean herself. When she returned, she would find herself struck on her drawer, seemingly searching for a nice dress to impress Ban. 

Unbeknownst to her, the moment Ban arrived in the attic he was also actually suffering the same emotion as her. 

Ban clutched his beating chest and said, "I-... Did I just kiss a girl?"

Fortunately, the content of the book that he read was true. 

Overjoyed and excitement was an understatement to the emotion that he was feeling right now. 

He took Eva from his head and before throwing her high in the air. 

A huge smile hung on his face as he twirled around like a love-struck girl. 

A moment later, he finally calmed down and immediately took a shower to clean himself. He then changed into a nice cloth before going down with Eva. 

He went towards Emilia's room and knocked on her door gently.
