The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Garestsa then started emitting light toward the potions, trying to help David figure it out since those potions would also be affecting, or so she thought.

'Couldn't she have just watched and not done anything? Why did I even try to save that bitch?' Aiden thought as he was starting to get frustrated by everything that was currently happening.

His plan which was supposed to have been quite simple was starting to turn to actual shit as everything that he had planned deviated from what he had prepared.

He had thought that the director would have agreed to drink that potion right away since it would be helping him right away, but it seemed that the effect had been too much for the director to feel.

"Thanks, Garestsa, this really makes things easier for me!"

Garestsa just blushed when she heard that comment as she turned her head toward Aiden who was currently looking at her in somewhat of a strange manner.

'I'm gonna kill her, I'm gonna kill her, I'm gonna kill her.'

That was the only thought that was currently entering Aiden's mind as he wanted to make sure that Garestsa wouldn't be able to lift a single arm after killing the director. At first, he had tried to save her, but she just had to ruin everything that he had prepared.

She would simply have to get ready for the repercussions. Aiden knew that she had no idea as to what he was trying to do, but he couldn't help but blame her at the moment. That would simply make things a lot easier overall.

"Are you okay Aiden?" Garestsa asked as she felt those red eyes looking at her, and when she looked her way, there was this strange feeling that she was currently in danger for some reason.

Garestsa didn't know why she was feeling this way as she had simply tried to help everyone around her.

"Yes, yes, I'm fine," Aiden said putting on a normal face once again. "So, what about those potions, do you still think something is weird?"

David shook his head from left to right slowly, "I'm not sure, to be honest, but it seems that only one of them is different."

Aiden acted interested as he knew that this could possibly blow his cover, "Oh, really! Can I see?"

David quickly glanced at Aiden, unsure as to what he was going to do next, however, he still accepted as he started explaining the differences that he had noticed between the vials.

"Sure, come I'll show you," David said as he indicated Aiden to get closer to him with his hands. "Do you see how they aren't of the same colors? Also, do you see that thing at the bottom there, it's not there in those two."

The director didn't lose any time as he started saying everything that he had on his mind.

"Um, weird maybe this one is defective," Aiden said as he tried to grab the decoy potion that he had given Garestsa.

However, just as he was about to do so, David avoided Aiden's hands as he knew that there was something wrong there.

'Fuck, this isn't going to work,' Aiden thought as he grabbed his dagger that he had hidden in his back.

"Look, let me keep I just want to ask one or two questions to Anna and I'll come back here right after. Is that alright?" David asked.

Aiden gritted his teeth and kept a smile on his face. "Of course! That's fine, do whatever you want."

'Should I try killing him right now?' Aiden pondered as he was ready to strike at any moment.

He knew that right now was probably the best time to try something as he was really close to David. However, Aiden had learned from the fight that they had between the two that David was able to react even if Aiden was a single inch away from him.

He remembered the explosion and how the director had reacted at the last moment. For some reason, Aiden had no choice but to believe that David could see the world in slow motion. In fact, the more he thought about it the more it made a lot of sense.

Still, there was no way for Aiden to prove this.

'I guess I'll have to trust Anna with this, let's hope that she doesn't say anything weird,' Aiden thought as he knew that there were good chances that the director would be coming back releasing a lot of killing intent.

If such a thing were to happen then Aiden would have to be ready, and there would be multiple options opening up to him.

One of them was running away and trying to kill him in his sleep, however, the chances of that working were so small that it couldn't even be considered an option. David was, after all, one of the strongest people in this world.

He would obviously be able to find Aiden without much difficulty.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The other one was to use the [Return Stone] which wasn't something that Aiden wanted to do since everything that he would have done would be thrown into the trash as if nothing had happened.

Taking the [Return Stone] was honestly the last thing that Aiden would do as he didn't want such a thing to happen. He wanted to have the rewards at the end of the trial, no he needed them.

He needed to get stronger and failing a trial given by a system wasn't the way to go.

Thinking about all this, Aiden couldn't help but think about his old Trial Objective which would have been a lot less risky than this.

'Just why did I fucking accept, it would have been so much easier if I had just opened a shop.

Couldn't there be a way for me to open a shop instead of doing this?' Aiden pondered, indirectly asking the system.

However, he only heard a single word in response.

[No.]
