The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World



"You there, why do you want to go inside the castle?" asked one of the guards.

·ƈθm "Oh, don't mind me, I just forgot something inside," said Aiden as he started inside as if what he was doing was nothing wrong.

"Not so fast," said the guard as held back Aiden from going in. "What did you forget inside?"

Aiden hearing this question didn't know exactly how to respond as he actually had no idea what type of things the soldiers had inside the castle.

'A sword? Would that work?' thought Aiden as this was the only thing that came to his mind.

"M-my sword, I forgot my sword," said Aiden as some hesitation could be felt in his words.

"Is that right huh?" said the guard looking at Aiden up and down seemingly judging him. "Alright go in but be quick."

Hearing the guard give him permission to go in, Aiden was extremely happy as he didn't even know if the soldiers had their swords in the castle.

This was all a bet that he had made and it worked.

Aiden started walking into the castle and noticed that there were a lot of soldiers inside it preparing to go outside in his search.

Then he heard coming from above him, "Remember we need to find this man at all costs, he has killed two of our generals."

The man speaking seemed to be an advisor of some sorts which would tell people what to do.

'He probably has some contact with the emperor,' thought Aiden as he looked at him. 'I need to go up there and not look suspicious but how can I do that?'

He started looking around but this time he really had no idea of what to do because it would be really weird if some random soldier would go upstairs for no reason.

He continued to move forward passing through the soldiers who were preparing as he continued to try and find a way to go find the emperor.

Then he got an idea.

'Maybe I should go into the garden, maybe Alex is there,' thought Aiden as his last option was Alex.

Maybe he would help him, who knew what he really wanted?

After all, he had helped Aiden kill two of the generals of the Upsilon Empire army, maybe he would even help him kill the emperor.

'I could promise him all the materials he needs for his Elixir,' thought Aiden because when the emperor would die, Alex wouldn't have difficulties finding all the resources as the entire empire would be in shambles.

He went toward the garden which had some guards at the entrance of it but they let Aiden go through as he was a soldier.

It wasn't weird for soldiers to go to the garden as it seemed that they didn't have any problems with him going there.

When Aiden entered, he started looking around the garden trying to find the crazy scientist he had last seen there.

And immediately Aiden spotted him, he was on the ground sleeping.

'How can he sleep when the alarm just sounded?' thought Aiden as he found that Alex really didn't care about anything.

He got closer and started doing a little cough trying to wake him up.

*Cough*

*Cough*

But obviously, it didn't work as he even started snoring as if entering deep sleep.

It enraged Aiden a little bit seeing him snore, so he decided to give him a little hit to the head.

"Hmph, who's there?" said the scientist jumping up immediately as if he wasn't sleeping.

Alex started looking around him and was surprised to see a soldier had woken him up.

"What do you want from me? Oh, if it's for an elixir, I don't have any," said Alex as he seemed used to those types of situations.

"No, no, it's nothing of the sort," said Aiden keeping the helmet on his head not revealing who he was yet. "I needed your help for something else."

"Weird, normally you guys only come for my potions," said Alex, confused as to what a soldier would want from him.

"Well, it might help you if I do this," said Aiden as he removed his helmet.

He knew he was taking a big risk revealing who he was, but he still took it as he had no other option to get in contact with the emperor.

"Is your face supposed to tell me something?" asked Alex, who was even more confused now.

'What? He doesn't even remember who I am, but I saw him like three hours ago,' thought Aiden shocked that he had been forgotten so easily.

"Are you sure that you have no idea who I am?" asked Aiden once again.

Hearing Aiden ask him this, Alex tried concentrating as much as possible but nothing. He had no idea who this man was supposed to be.

Seeing that he really had no idea, Aiden decided to help him. 

"If I tell you that it's me who killed the two generals inside," whispered Aiden not wanting to be heard even by the guards who were at the entrance of the garden.

"Wait? That's you!" said Alex, a little too loud as even the guards started questioning what was happening between the two of them.

"Lower your voice," whispered Aiden. "Yes, that's me the guy you gave the potion of invisibility to."

"Isn't everyone in the empire searching for you, why would you be here?" asked Alex not understanding why Aiden would go straight into the enemy camp.

"It's complicated, but what I need from you is to help me get in contact with the emperor," said Aiden, not revealing that he wanted to kill as he didn't know what his reaction would be.

"The emperor, huh? And what do I get in return?" asked Alex, before adding. "I already helped you once, so why would I help you a second time."

"If you can get me to meet him then you will have all the resources you want for your potions."
