The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 143 Chapter 143 - Emma's Elimination

Emma was now on the stage, sad.

She had just lost in a one-sided battle as she hadn't been able to do anything against the person in front of her.

He had been too fast, too strong, too everything. Lucius had been better than her in every single aspect.

Aiden was also of the same opinion and he had to admit that the winning move of Lucius had been one of a kind.

Even Aiden hadn't been able to fully grasp what had just happened, the only thing which he had caught was the slash that Lucius had made to Emma's shoulder, but he hadn't even been able to grasp his movement.

And the movement aspect was what Aiden was the most confident in, however, he was stumped no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't grasp what had happened.

How could he move at such an insane speed?

Was it a skill or a technique?

Aiden wasn't sure but he knew that if he couldn't figure it out, then it would be a massive problem in the future.

Then as cheers started to take over the arena, the voice of Thorin, once again, resounded inside the arena.

"Without much surprise, Lucius Nightshade has won this fight," he exclaimed as cheers continued to sound inside the arena.

Thorin had obviously anticipated such a win, and he had to mention what he had just seen at the end.

"I don't know if any of you could see the speed at which he moved at the end, but it was simply incredible," continued Thorin, congratulating Lucius who still had the same look on his face even when winning.

Even when winning, it seemed as if he had no emotion which was a clear contrast to Emma who almost had tears in her eyes.

However before we could see her cry or react in some weird way, she disappeared from the arena just like all the previous participants.

No one had any idea where she had gone to, but she was probably in the process of choosing her skill, that was what everyone was telling themselves at least.

Then, after she disappeared, Lucius got teleported out of the Arena and returned to his previous self where all he would do was look at the ground not even paying attention to his surroundings.

Aiden, seeing this, thought that it really was quite weird for him to act in such a way.

He had literally just won a place in the top 25 of the tournament, but he still had absolutely no reaction.

It was as if he was a robot, or the other option was that he simply didn't care about this tournament as he was much stronger than everyone here.

Aiden had to admit that if he did the move that he had just done then he would lose just as badly.

He was a little stronger than Emma now that he had a technique, but he was still close to her in terms of power, so if she had gotten annihilated in such a fight then Aiden would suffer almost the same result.

And he simply couldn't think of a way to counter such skill as he hadn't even been able to see it from the side, so he couldn't even begin to imagine how it must have felt during the fight.

Emma must have been scared shitless when she had lost sight of Lucius suddenly.

'But how did he do that?' thought Aiden, as he needed to understand or else he would suffer the exact same fate as Emma.

He didn't have any idea, but then he felt someone tap him on the shoulder while the other fights were ongoing.

Aiden turned himself toward the direction of the person who had tapped his shoulder and was surprised to see that it was the other Nightshade who had appeared with Lucius earlier.

Getting a closer look at her, Aiden had to admit that she was extremely beautiful, her face was simply perfect, and her body was also beautiful to look at.

Her forms from her ass to her tits were literally perfect in terms of proportion, however, Aiden felt that his looking at her body made the person in front of him quite uncomfortable as he noticed that her face was now completely red.

"Um, sorry, I didn't mean to," said Aiden, apologizing right away.

He was shy about what he had just done.

He wasn't the type to do such a thing, but his eyes had been attracted by those beautiful melons of hers.

Then, as he looked up, he looked directly into her eyes, waiting for her to talk as it was she who had come to see him.

"Um, yeah don't worry about it," she said, accepting his apologies.

Then, she became silent for a bit which created a pretty awkward atmosphere.

"Um, do I know you?" she asked, a bit later.

Because since earlier she had been thinking that his figure resembled someone she knew well, however, with his mask, she couldn't confirm no matter how much she wanted to.

So, having no other option, she went up to in hopes that he would be telling her whether or not that was the case.

She knew that the person in front of her could lie, however, she thought that she would be able to recognize him based on his voice.

Because if it was someone she knew then there probably wouldn't be a problem recognizing who she was.

Well, that was what she thought, as she waited for the Reaper to answer.

Aiden, who heard her question, was confused as to how she had been able to think that she knew of him.

Nonetheless, the answer which he would be giving was going to be a simple one, he would simply deny that they knew each other as this was kind of the truth.

The present Aiden had no idea who she was, however, the past one might have an idea of who she was but that didn't matter.

The present Aiden also knew that the person in front of him wasn't supposed to be a bad person based on the emotions he had felt earlier.

However, he wouldn't let those emotions dictate the choices he was about to make.

That's why he decided to deny that they knew each other.

"Um, no, should we?" he answered, acting confused about this whole matter.

"Hm, maybe it's been a long time, my name's Lilia, does that ring a bell?" she asked

Aiden didn't know why but she seemed sure of herself that they knew each other however, he had no idea how that was even remotely possible as Aiden was masked and his physique had changed a lot in these past months.

"Lilia? Um, let me think," said Aiden, acting like he was thinking about it, when he was just waiting to answer.

"Um, no that really doesn't ring a bell, why should we know each other?" asked Aiden once again, wanting to know why she had gone up to him confidently.

She seemed disappointed by this whole matter, as she kept shaking her head from left to right.

"What's your name? I'm sure that we met before," she said, insisting.

It seemed that she wouldn't let it go until she was sure that she had no connection with Aiden.

But, Aiden couldn't really reveal to a Nightshade his name now, could he?

"Sorry, I don't want to," answered Aiden, not even trying to find another option or trying to lie to her as it didn't matter since she couldn't force him to answer.

'I thought that his voice would help me, but I'm in the dark,' she thought looking at Aiden's masked face.

"What do you want? You must know that I'm from the Nightshade family, we have a lot of resources," she added at the end, wanting to convince him.

It seemed like the means didn't matter in this case as Lilia wanted to know who was hiding behind that mask.

However, Aiden's stance was clear, he wouldn't reveal his identity no matter what.

"I don't want anything, oh well... I do want something."

Lilia immediately jumped at the opportunity.

"What? What is it that you want?"

Aiden laughed a little before saying it.

"I want you to leave me alone, can you do that?"

Lilia was insulted as this was the first time that someone had talked to her in such a way. Usually, people would always try to sugarcoat their words, especially when talking to someone who was part of a founding family.

However, Aiden didn't care about all those things as he had simply said what he wanted.

"Um, the reason that you want me away? Is it because I'm making you uncomfortable," she said, insinuating that maybe she wasn't completely wrong.

If he wanted a beautiful person like her to go away, then there had to be something.

There was no way he would be asking that of someone from a founding family. Well, that was what Lilia thought.
