Novel Full Chapter 115: Testing Alicia's Talent?
Aiden heard her throwing a tantrum inside his mind, but he ignored it for now as he was really curious to see what the outside world looked like.
So, he decided to go to the surveillance room first before making any plans to go outside.
But then he heard his big sister’s voice.
“Aiden, I think I can also do many things, like create lightning, earth, or even create fake things like those magical in movies can… what’s it called…”
Aiden, seeing her excited face as she explained what she could do, found her very cute. Since she couldn’t find the right word, he completed her sentence.
“Like illusions, Big Sis, where you can trap your enemies?”
“Yes! That’s what I’m trying to say. And I’m not boasting; after seeing her, I think I can really do all those things.”
The other women, hearing her words, were a bit skeptical, as she was claiming to do many things when they could only sense one power from them and they have now realized what is written on the talent section on the green screen is what they can do.
‘Is she trying to look good in front of her little brother to get another kiss from him?’
Aiden, hearing her words, calmly replied with a smile on his handsome face.
“Okay, calm down, Big Sis. I believe you’re telling the truth.”
Alicia, hearing this, felt calm. Although it looked like she was boasting in front of the others, she could really feel she could do all those things.
So with a smile on her beautiful face, she said to him,
“I knew you would believe me, Aiden.”
‘Even I would find it hard to believe if I hadn’t seen those crazy talents you have.’
He wouldn’t tell her this to avoid ruining his own image and replied to her with a smile while looking into her eyes.
“Of course, I believe you, Big Sis.”
The women who had crushes on Aiden didn’t feel good seeing the immoral siblings acting all lovey-dovey in front of them.
‘Just kiss already, dammit! We thought we’d be doing some serious protection, but all we see are siblings showing more than extra love to each other.’
Meanwhile, Ava was calm with an almost serene expression on her face, having already accepted that she enjoyed watching these two perform their immoral acts together. It excited her and even turned her on sometimes.
‘Is this what they call the perfect balance of work and entertainment?’
Alicia said enthusiastically to her brother,
“Aiden, why don’t I also show what I can do? If I know how to do it, I think I could do it easily.”

He used his King’s Eye ability to see her status once again.
‘Yep, that’s it! My big sis is definitely overpowered.’
Aiden, hearing her words, was also excited to see how an S+ rank talent compared to an AA+ rank talent, but he didn’t think this was the right place to try it.
“Why don’t we go to the training room? It’s close by, and this isn’t a safe place to experiment.”
Alicia knew there were only weapons here, so it was dangerous to experiment. However, after seeing the shameless woman’s magic, which Aiden had touched her hand to feel, she didn’t think she would cause any danger.
Still, she listened to her brother’s advice, as he had told her so, and she should listen to him.
“Okay, if you say so.”
‘Isn’t the leader a little too cautious?’ everyone except Ava thought of this.
Ava, on the other hand, realized she had made a mistake by not informing the leader earlier about the dangers of testing in such a place, knowing there were explosives present.
She also felt sad knowing she was the only one without any talent, but she was still determined to be recognized for her abilities.
‘I have to do my best by using my brain, as it’s the only thing that made me the highest-ranking officer in the military group and that is the reason why everyone follows my orders.’
‘But I know things will start to change once this talent thing becomes widespread, and my position will be in danger. But I will still prove that I can become vice leader without talent.’
Unaware of Ava’s determination to become vice leader, Aiden started walking toward the training room, which was right next to the weaponry. Everyone followed him, and they reached the training room in a few minutes.
The training room was as big as the weaponry, about 500 square meters, but nothing too special—it looked like a high-quality gym with weights and equipment. There was also an empty 200-square-meter space where 20 dummies made of the same expensive black metal as the door stood.
The women had come to expect now that they shouldn’t judge rich people by normal standards, knowing that one metal dummy probably cost more than two years of their salary.
They all reached the empty area where the dummies were located, each spaced about 10 meters apart. Led by their leader, they were excited to see what Alicia would show them, but they didn’t have high expectations after the earlier display of magic from Isla, which they didn’t think could be used in actual combat.
Aiden looked toward the group of women standing behind him and found Isla. He could now discern between the two of them, as one of them was a bit too cheerful as they both had different expressions if looked carefully.
“You, come here.”
Isla, hearing his words and seeing him looking at her, started to move, but she felt a bit nervous—was he actually calling her? Aiden could see the nervousness on her face and realized something.
‘Oh! How could I forget to ask their names? That’s very rude of me. I should ask for their names as soon as I can.’
Isla stood in front of Aiden, a bit nervous because she didn’t know if she had followed the right order. She didn’t want to embarrass herself on the first day of her job.
Aiden noticed her nervousness, so he quickly said,
“I forgot to ask, but what is your name?”
Isla, hearing his words, felt a little confused.
‘Did Aiden just call me to ask for my name?’
‘Isn’t this the start of a love story between a boss and his staff? Yes! I’ve seen it on TV shows! Hehehe, I’m so lucky!’
Having wild thoughts in her mind, Isla still replied in a respectful voice, though her cheerful expression couldn’t be hidden from everyone else, despite her thinking she had hidden it.
After everything that had happened to her today, she had started to lose her composure a little bit.
“Leader, my name is Isla.”
Aiden, seeing her cheerful expression, could only think one thing:
‘She certainly is cute.’
