The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World



Looking at Aiden's eyes, it was clear that there was absolutely no way for Alex to say no to his request.

He had to craft it or else he would probably be in the same state as the emperor.

"Y-yes I'll do it," said Alex who now realized that he wasn't dealing with some random person.

The person in front of him was dangerous.

"Then, get to it. I need to keep my eyes on the emperor in the meantime," said Aiden as he didn't want to take any risk of failing this trial.

The Elixir was simply a bonus for him as he could already have completed this trial if he wanted.

He just wanted to have all the effects possible before leaving this trial.

He would also miss Mia, but he couldn't do much about it as he would be doing to another world.

"Humm, to do the Elixir, I need to have my equipment but it isn't here, it's in the little shack back in the garden."

Aiden had kind of anticipated that he wouldn't be able to do it right away without any equipment.

However, that was a big problem as he couldn't really leave Alex as he didn't know what he would do.

'Would he tell the guards?' thought Aiden, but he soon realized that was stupid as Alex had also threatened the emperor even if it wasn't direct.

This would probably result in his death if the emperor was to be released.

This made Aiden think that maybe he could let Alex leave by himself, but he still wasn't convinced that he wouldn't do anything.

"What can you do to prove to me that you won't tell anyone that I'm here?" asked Aiden who didn't want to leave the injured emperor alone.

"I promise I won't. You should know that even if I tell someone I will also be killed, don't you get it? I'm also involved in whatever you are trying to do," said Alex who proved that was Aiden was thinking made sense.

'I guess he's right, he can't tell anyone,' thought Aiden who was getting more and more convinced that there wouldn't be any problem letting him go alone.

"Alright, I'll let you leave but you need to come back with your equipment here in five minutes, can you do it?" said Aiden as he added a time constraint wanting to make Alex stress and make him act faster as that would result in fewer risks for Aiden.

"Sure, I'll be back in five minutes."

Then, after hearing that Alex quickly turned around as he crossed the fake wall and went to get his equipment.

However, Aiden started counting the seconds as he would kill the emperor in five minutes if Alex didn't come back.

After, he didn't want to jeopardize the mission simply for some Elixir that he didn't know the effects of.

Alex hurried as his life depended on it, as he didn't want Aiden to think that he was going to betray him. 

But the time he had given him would be a little short as the equipment he needed to get was quite difficult to transport alone.

But, he would still do it if that's what it took.

Five minutes later, Alex still hadn't come back which meant that it was time for Aiden to kill the emperor once and for all.

Aiden started preparing his strike, and his arm was going down toward the neck of the emperor, he started hearing a voice from behind the fake wall.

"Sorry, I'm late," said Alex as he started crossing the wall and saw the dagger that Aiden had right under the neck of the emperor as small amounts of blood started to drip from it.

'I guess, he really wasn't kidding when he said that I only had five minutes. One more second and the emperor would have been gone,' thought Alex, but then he started finding it weird that Aiden was keeping him alive. 

Shouldn't he simply kill him and be done with him?

'He must have a reason, but what is it?' thought Alex as he got prepared his equipment to prepare the Elixir.

But his thoughts were immediately interrupted as Aiden started speaking to him.

"So, hmm what exactly are the effects of this Elixir?" asked Aiden, as he wanted to know more about it as he still had no clue about what it was.

"What? You don't know its effects and you did all that!?" said Alex, shocked to learn this.

He thought that Aiden's only goal since their first meeting was to get him to do the Elixir, but it seemed like he was wrong as he didn't even know the effects of it.

"Does that really matter, just tell me," said Aiden who wanted to get straight to the point.

"Well, I guess you're right. The Elixir is my invention, obviously," said Alex, proudly. "Its effects are revolutionary, after drinking it you will feel like a new man as power starts coursing through your veins."

·ƈθm 'Power huh? Is it like stats points, will it have a bigger effect than the potion from earlier,' thought Aiden as he was getting more and more interested in this Elixir of his.

"What gives this power?"

"Well, it's the cores of the monsters which are used to do it."

'The monsters here also have cores, why didn't I notice before,' thought Aiden, as he couldn't see any monster cores in all the monsters he had killed.

"Then, I'll let you do it," said Aiden as he turned his head toward the emperor, ensuring he hadn't moved since earlier.

And sure enough, when your life is on the line. Anyone would submit under the strong.

The emperor hadn't moved or spoken since earlier, he really had become the perfect subordinate.

Noticing that the emperor couldn't do anything as his legs were badly hurt, Aiden gave his attention once again to what Alex was doing as he started doing some weird concoctions in his cauldron.

Author's Note (doesn't cost coins): Sorry for the lack of uploads. I had some health problems which made me unable to write, I had medical attention and now everything is fine. I was able to stack a couple of chapters in the fifteen or so days of absence.

I will start posting two chapters a day as usual once again.

Also, I changed the privilege. There will be four tiers, one for 2 chapters in advance (which is 1 coin), one for 5 (200 coins), one for 10(500 coins), and one for 14 (800 coins).

They will become available as I post chapters but keep in mind that I will continue to post two chapters a day which is why sometimes you won't be able to read the new chapters since they won't reach the tier given for them but don't worry you will be able to read them at some point.

After the first week of uploading all privileged chapters will be uploaded and there won't be any problems for reading.

Once again, sorry for the absence it won't happen again.
