The Strongest Curse Master

Chapter 165: Serial Killings

"Rose, are you sure no one's within a mile radius?" Ace asked, leaning over the cliff edge. Sitting on his bike, he rested his elbows on his helmet, which was perched on the gas tank, as he gazed down at the winery nestled at the foot of the mountain.

After leaving Harper's garage with his new bike along with freebie helmet and smart phone holder, Ace followed Dame Wasp's directions through the woods to the winery. Thanks to his enhanced stats, he easily navigated steep slopes and crossed creeks, even carrying the bike when necessary. What should have been a two-hour road trip took him less than an hour.

Instead of heading straight into the winery, Ace stopped on the hill above it, choosing a vantage point where he could safely enter his Apex persona and store the bike in Emi's storage talisman. This time, hiding wasn't an option—the curse exorcism request made it clear the curseling was hiding somewhere in the winery. With the property spanning thousands of acres, Ace would have to search on-site to track it down. His plan was simple: pose as a guest and explore the premises to locate the target.

'Yes, master. My cybernetics confirm it,' Dame Wasp replied, she double-checked their surroundings using her cybernetics systems through Ace's senses. 

Satisfied, Ace donned his helmet and started the bike, turning into the woods under the cover of tall pine trees. After stopping in a secluded spot, he summoned his third toy summon and instructed as he began undressing, "Emi, store this bike and take out the other set of clothes."

Emi stepped forward, her movements fluid as she retrieved a neatly folded outfit and polished boots from her storage talisman. "Master, should I use the scavenger spirit to absorb the curse energy attached to the bike?" she asked, glancing at the vehicle.
