The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World



As Emma was running as fast as she could toward Aiden to make sure that nothing weird was happening, Olivia started talking to Aiden about why she didn't want to fight against him. 

She seemed to be somewhat excited that she could talk to him alone as she just couldn't stop talking, not letting either Aiden or Logan interfere in her speech.

Well, it still wasn't that different from her usual, but it was a little more noticeable as of right now. Aiden just couldn't pinpoint why he felt that way about her.

However, at some point, Olivia stopped talking and Aiden could finally place a couple of words in.

"Olivia, stop talking about those random things and just tell me what's your condition for letting us win," asked Aiden as he just couldn't bother to stay close to her for such a long time.

He didn't mind her talking that much, but still, he didn't want to hear her ramble on about useless things.

"Argh, alright I guess," she said realizing that Aiden didn't seem to be appreciating her non-stop talking.

"My condition is simple though, it's not really worth mentioning."

Aiden who heard this was quite confused.

'Not worth mentioning? Giving up here means that you won't get any rewards,' thought Aiden, as he simply couldn't understand why she was acting this.

Aiden just simply couldn't trust her yet as he didn't under her hidden intentions which caused him to be on alert always wondering whether or not he was in danger.

Then, as he was getting confused about this whole thing. He thought of the perfect solution.

'Can't I just kill them? Wouldn't that just be perfect?' 

The more he thought, the simpler it would be for both Emma and himself. By simply killing them right now, he wouldn't have to listen to any of her demands and they would still have the victory.

In fact, Aiden was confident that being so close to them, he would be able to kill the two of them easily and without much problem.

He decided to simply say his idea out loud to see what the reaction of Olivia would be.

"If it isn't worth mentioning then I guess you won't mind that I kill both of you right this instant," declared Aiden, showing clear hostility toward his two past teammates.

The hostility was quite normal as he hadn't gotten close to any of them and simply wanted to go further into the tournament. 

They had, after all, only known each other for one hour at most. So, it was normal for Aiden to be hostile against them, especially in such a weird situation.

Olivia, however, hearing him say such a thing didn't seem to panic one bit as if expecting such a reaction out of him.

"Kill us? Sure, you can do that, but let's just say that my condition isn't really a bad thing for you," she said while winking at him.

Hearing her say that her condition wasn't really one, Aiden got a little interested in it as he kept listening, however, he was still wary of any sudden moves that could come out of the two of them.

Emma, who was still running in their direction, finally arrived up to them.

"Get away from him," she shouted as she kept running toward them in quite a hostile way, to be honest.

Aiden wasn't sure why, but she seemed to be really mad at Olivia especially as she kept looking at her hostility and without backing down even once.

"Emma, calm down, let's listen to what they say and if we don't like it. Then, we'll just kill them," said Aiden out loud, not even hiding his intent of killing them.

They were so close that there was no way for Logan to activate his weird skill to become stronger as Aiden would simply kill him before then. 

Olivia and Logan had already, and now, Aiden just wanted to see what kind of condition they were about to propose to him and Emma.

She had mentioned that it wasn't really a condition, so Aiden didn't mind listening to her before finishing her off.

"Yeah, Emma, calm down," added Olivia, smiling as she said that.

"You! Just don't talk to me, alright," said Emma, as she didn't want to hear Olivia talk at all.

It seemed that the conversation between the two of them, while they had waited for Aiden, had escalated to a point where Emma didn't even want to talk to her anymore.

Who knew what had happened after they had gotten silent?

Did they continue arguing like crazy causing them to split up?

Aiden didn't know what had happened and he just couldn't understand what might have happened.

"Emma, now is not the time," said Aiden, as he looked back to Olivia waiting for her to tell more about her condition. "Tell me more, what do you want to let us win?"

'Even if we don't need it,' thought Aiden inside of his mind, as he couldn't even imagine him losing at the moment.

He had already explained why and it still hadn't changed that's for sure.

"Well, I was thinking aren't the two of you part of a middle-level family?" asked Olivia, as she saw both nod their heads.

'Well, until the end of the tournament,' thought Aiden, as he knew that he would have to join one of the founding families at the end of the tournament.

"Alright, so I was thinking, wouldn't you guys want to come and visit our home and see how different it is from yours? Through this, we could continue to learn about each other and all of that. You know I really liked the short time that we spent together here," said Olivia.

Those words which had come out of her mouth deeply confused Aiden as he couldn't understand why she was so attached to both him and Emma.

They had only spent one hour or two at most together, and even then it was generous. So why was she so charitable?

She literally had no reason which meant that she must have had hidden intentions in inviting them. This made Aiden doubt whether or not to accept this offer as it wasn't going to give him anything that he truly wanted.

He was already going to the manor of a founding family at the end of the tournament so why would he go to some high-level family house?

There was no need to do so for him, and when he glanced to his right, it seemed that Emma was in agreement with him.

Emma was still looking at Olivia with a lot of hostility for unknown reasons.

"I don't understand, you're going to give up the fight and we'll go visit your family?" asked Aiden, who was very confused about this whole matter.

"Logan are you agreeing with this?" asked Aiden as he couldn't believe that he would be agreeing to such a thing.

However, before Logan could answer, Olivia interrupted as she got in front of Aiden.

"Yeah, to be honest, I know that I won't win this tournament. I'm just not good enough and there probably won't be rewards that will interest me since I won't be going far, so I'd rather give up now," explained Olivia, making a little more sense.

However, Aiden still couldn't understand why she didn't want to try at all, it really was weird. Then, he glanced back toward Logan as he still wondered whether or not he agreed.

"Logan, do you agree with her?"

Then, Logan turned his head toward Aiden and simply raised his shoulders saying that he, also, didn't care about the tournament.

"But, honestly, I don't really care about visiting your mansion or anything like that," said Aiden.

"You hear that Olivia? He doesn't care, just give up," she then added, clearly trying to make fun of her.

Olivia, however, kept a straight as she started to ask multiple questions related as to why he couldn't come or didn't want to.

"Is it because you don't have a way of coming over? We are, after all, in the Emberbane territory which isn't the closest to the Nightshade territory," said Olivia, as she waited for Aiden's answer.

'Wait, they are in the Emberbane territory?' thought Aiden.

He was currently thinking about asking her many questions regarding the Emberbane family as he would soon join it. He wanted to know a little more about their overall reputation.

"Uh, it's not really because of that, but still if you answer some of my questions, then I guess I'll come," responded Aiden, as it wouldn't be too long to go over to her house, being in the same territory and all that.

"Hear that Emma, he'll come. Alone," said Olivia, amplifying the word "alone".

"What do you mean you'll go alone, I'll go with you, it's no problem really," said Emma, not understanding why Aiden had excluded her.

'Should I tell her now or later,' thought Aiden, as she kept trying to come with him.
