The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World



Heading back to his room, he was still upset about being oblivious to his situation.

So many things were happening to him, so many changes had happened to his life, and he couldn't do anything about it.

He was too weak, others were always dictating how he was living.

In his past life, Jack was the one who made the choices for him. 

In this life, he seemed to be free but it seemed like all the moves that he was performing were under constant surveillance by some system which he knew nothing about.

It was truly infuriating.

This situation made him think.

He remembered some of the foolish mistakes he had done in his past life and in this life, in fact, all his mistakes came from one thing and one thing only.

His trust.

Thinking about it, he was becoming more and more frustrated about it, why was everyone always a deceiving bunch, why couldn't people be simple and say things that were on their minds?

Because of this realization, he decided one thing. 

He decided that his trust would have to be earned now.

He knew that all his mistakes depended on that one thing and he would now do his best to avoid giving it away too easily.

He realized that he would have to get stronger and faster than before.

The current speed at which he was gaining strength wasn't enough, there were too many things that could kill him as if he was an ant.

And the first thing that came to his mind was his family in this world, the Nightshade family.

What would even be the reaction of Maelis if they came knocking on their door asking questions?

She would probably tell her everything that she knew about him.

And the reason that she would do such a thing is simple.

He didn't hold enough value for her to lie about his existence.

Then, his thoughts were interrupted as he reached the door to his room.

'I need to calm down and act as if everything is going great. But I need to put some distance between Emma and I.'

While Aiden was heading toward his room

Maelis was worried about Aiden, as she began infusing mana in a small sheet of paper, into a [Mental Transmitor].

Then, almost instantly on the other side of the [Mental Transmitor] a female voice could be heard.

"Mom? Is everything alright?"

It was obviously Emma who answered on the other side.

"Something weird just happened, Aiden didn't seem to be in his right mind. I know that you don't get along too well, but please be nice to him tonight," said Maelis, telling Emma to not act like her usual self as she didn't know how Aiden would react.

"What happened? Wasn't he going there to get rewards?" asked Emma, unsure, about what could have caused this development.I think you should take a look at

"I don't know, I said that one of his rewards was going to be delayed and he had a strong reaction to it. Just don't act with your usual attitude, is that clear?" Maelis repeated what she had just said once again.

She didn't want to lose him, he was a potential talent.

She knew that he had talent and that was why, she was trying to help him the best she could, but tonight he had revealed a part of his personality that made her worry quite a bit about his future actions.

When he left silently her office, it was like something had changed within him.

"Don't worry," she said thinking about the discoveries that she had made last night.

'In fact, I'm sure he wouldn't mind my presence,' she thought thinking about how wet the clothes she had found last night.

"Alright, remember just try to calm him down, don't anger him."

Then, as she said that, the connection between the two [Mental Transmitor] was cut, leaving Emma perplexed about how she should act when he arrived.

'Act like I know nothing?'

'Maybe give him a hug like yesterday.'

The second one was quickly eliminated as she didn't want something like that to happen once again.

'I'll just adapt to what he says.'

That was her final thought as the door of her room was opening.

"Oh, Emma," said Aiden putting on the best fake expression that he could muster in that short time.

Emma who was sitting on the couch had quite the revealing appearance as she had put on a tank top that revealed her underboob, but still, Aiden paid it no mind as his mind was obviously in turmoil over the conversation with Maelis.

"Aiden, everything's fine?" asked Emma, still having her conversation with her mother fresh in her mind.

But the act that Aiden was putting on, at the moment was convincing even her as Aiden looked perfectly fine, even happy.

"Yeah, of course, why?" 

Aiden had decided that it was best if he kept some distance from Emma as he still didn't know if he could trust her completely.

"No reason, no reason, going to sleep?" asked Emma seeing Aiden go into their bedroom.

"No, I'll probably study the technique a little before."

"Are you sure that everything's fine, you know that you can talk to me, right?" said Emma standing up and not getting too close to him as she remembered her mind going fuzzy the last time she had done it.

Aiden was clearly tempted to talk about his problems to Emma, but he knew that if he did reveal his secrets then it would be a mistake.

Because everything revolved around his trust.

"Don't worry about it, and tomorrow I'll probably train alone for the rest of the month. I want to be ready for the tournament. So, no need to come see or anything."

Aiden had a change in mentality and was making it known to Emma who was about to say something but then closed her mouth as she saw Aiden's face who seemed determined to reach a new goal of his.

Emma nodded and then watched him enter his room, noticing that something had definitely changed within him. 

He wanted strength and he didn't have any time to waste on useless people.
