The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World



"If you help me then you will have all the resources you want for your potions," said Aiden trying to convince Alex by any means.

"All?" asked Alex, unsure.

"Yes, if you can get me to meet the emperor he will have no choice but to give you whatever you want," said Aiden, again, not revealing that he wanted to kill the emperor.

Hearing him confirm it once again, Alex still thought that it wouldn't happen but for Aiden to say such a thing twice he must have a plan of some sort.

"What's your plan? What are you going to do with him?"

Aiden kind of anticipated the question and just straight lied to Alex not knowing what his reaction would be if he told him the truth.

After all, he was supposed to be from the Upsilon Empire helping them. Sure, he had helped Aiden by giving a potion but that didn't mean he was on his side yet.

"Let's just say that I have something that he absolutely cannot refuse."

"And I'm guessing you won't tell me what it is?" 

"Ahah, well I would like to but I can't sorry."

After saying that, Alex thought deeply about whether or not to help Aiden.

After 30 seconds, the mouth of Alex started to move once again. It seemed like he had made his choice.

"Hmm, I'll help you but you better give me what you promise me. Are we clear?" said Alex as he took a tone that even scared Aiden for a moment.

His, not caring about anything, personality seemed to have disappeared the moment that Aiden mentioned the fact that he would be able to get all the resources he wished.

Hearing him agreeing to help, Aiden was overjoyed as all his plans now depended on Alex.

"So, how do we proceed?" 

"Well, it's quite simple after all the king will meet me if I ask him," said Alex with absolute confidence.

'Do they really depend on him so much, that even the king needs to respect him?' thought Aiden shocked to learn that Alex could meet the king whenever he wanted.

"Then, let's go what are we waiting for," said Aiden as he started walking over to the castle as he didn't want to waste any time.

"Not so fast, there's no need to go into the castle just follow me," said Alex as he entered the small little shack behind him.

Aiden couldn't comprehend why they would go into such a small place but he didn't ask any questions as to not upset him.

But his mind on the hand kept cursing at him. 'Why the hell are we wasting time, doesn't he understand that I don't need to waste any time?'

But as Aiden kept cursing at him, Alex opened what seemed to be a small wooden hatch just like the one that Aiden had gone to enter the empire.

·ƈθm "Come, if we follow this path we'll meet the emperor," said Alex as he continued to advance forward not even looking back toward Aiden.

Realizing that Alex was only trying to make them gain time and also be discreet, Aiden was suddenly a fan of what he was proposing.

'Yes, that's what I'm talking about, forget everything that I said before.'

Then, Aiden started following him right behind his steps not wanting to lose sight of him as this tunnel was quite dark which made it so that Aiden couldn't see well Alex.

"You still there?" asked Alex as he continued walking.

He asked that because he felt like there was absolutely no one behind him as he couldn't hear anything due to the passive [Shadow Steps].

"Yeah, don't worry."

"We're almost there, it won't take more than a minute."

After one minute or so, they arrived at another wooden hatch which made them arrive into Alex's chamber.

"Alright, you just need to follow me, I know where he is," said Alex once again with a tone of complete confidence.

'He knows where the emperor is even when the alarm is on,' thought Aiden kind of shocked, surprised that Alex was so informed about the emperor.

Then, Alex quickly left his room with Aiden following behind as Aiden was once again back in the hallway with all the rooms.

It was the place where he had killed two out of the three generals, it literally went back to his crime scene.

"I guess you recognized this place huh," said Alex as he continued walking toward the stairs.

By saying this, Aiden understood that Alex knew about what he had done but he still didn't say anything to the emperor or anyone just like he had promised.

As both of them started going downstairs, Alex stopped midway out of nowhere.

Not seeing stop, Aiden almost tripped into him but he was able to keep his balance and not fall at the last minute.

Then, Alex seemed to touch the wall in some random places as if doing a code on the wall, right after finishing doing so. 

A clicking sound could be heard meaning that a door had opened.

*Click*

'Is that a hidden door?' thought Aiden shocked that they had those types of mechanisms in a castle like this which didn't seem advanced in technology. 

Then without giving any time for Aiden to realize what was happening, Alex started going right in.

It was a small room with nothing inside of it except a couple of chairs scattered around.

Aiden entered and couldn't understand what was happening, did Alex trick him?

There was literally nothing in front of him.

The emperor surely wasn't there as Aiden couldn't even feel his presence.

But then, out of nowhere, Alex continued walking forward as if wanting to go through the wall, and he exactly did that.

'What? What are those walls made of?' thought Aiden, not understanding how someone could do such a thing.

But he didn't ask himself too many questions as he also went through the wall where he discovered a completely different room that resembled the empty one he had just seen.
