The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Aiden quickly finished the call with Emma as he learned that she was currently hiding within the Nightshade Territory, which was a few hours of flight away from them.

Aiden had told Emma that he would leave as soon as possible from the Emberbane territory as he needed things to move fast. He wanted answers.

However, when he let go of the phone. He had no idea what to say. His mind was filled with thoughts from what he had just heard.

The Lumithars had done something against him. He had been supposed to be gone for one year, but it had taken five years for some unknown reason.

’Did they delay my return when I left Mia back then?’ Aiden thought, as this was the only moment where they could have done something.

He hadn’t felt like something had gone wrong, but it seemed like it did for some reason. It was annoying, but he wouldn’t be able to get an answer to that question.

Aiden looked at the cat girl, who was frowning a lot more than earlier. She had heard the conversation that Aiden had just had with their leader and couldn’t help but wonder what had just happened.

"Can I ask you a question?" The cat-girl asked.

Aiden didn’t even look in her direction as he shrugged.

Aiden scoffed. "You did figure it out yet?"

Aiden thought that it would have been obvious considering what he had just said, but it seemed that wasn’t the case at all.

He looked her dead in the eyes as he grabbed her from both sides of her shoulder.

"I’m the Reaper, Aiden Nightshade."

"Y-You, but-what? How? Everyone thought you died years ago when all the founding families started looking for you…just how are you still alive?"

"Haha! Well, I had some trouble getting back from the looks of it. But I was never once in danger."

Aiden walked away from her; he grabbed his mask and put it on his face.

"I’m not the one danger… they are."

He turned around and didn’t utter another word as he needed to get moving. He needed to reach the Nightshade Territory as fast as humanly possible. He didn’t care if someone recognized him. He wasn’t hiding anymore. His identity had been revealed to the entire world.

However, things were different this time around. He had the strength to back himself. If people came looking for him, then he’d kill them without even flinching or hesitating for one second.

They had decided to fuck with him. Well, he would be doing the same exact thing to them.

There was only one problem for Aiden, and that was the contract he made a few years ago with the Lumithars back when he was learning how to use Qi. He had escaped death by promising that he would never be able to go against them. However, he needed to break that contract. He had no idea how yet, but it was a necessary step that he would need to take in the near future.

He had a strong feeling that it was connected to his Qi. That maybe they had hidden something within himself, within his body.

He walked out of the Emberbane Manor and flew upward without looking back once.

The cat girl looked at him and flew away with stars in her eyes as she had finally met with the one who had inspired her for all these years. Aiden had looked just like she had been told. Someone who was cold but righteous to those close to him.

Someone who wouldn’t let anything happen to his friends, even if it meant death.

Someone who had endured so many hardships that nothing could scare him.

Someone who would kill anyone who would step in his way toward greatness.

That was who Aiden Nightshade was in her eyes.

Looking at him fly away, the cat-girl realized that this was the last moment in her life where she would be able to see him.

She looked up with stars in her eyes. "I’m Luna! Remember me!"

Aiden glanced behind him one last time and looked at her. Luna couldn’t see it, but there was a little smile that formed on Aiden’s face. He hadn’t seen anyone like him that much in the past.

He had always been hated by everyone as far as he could remember. It felt good having people that supported him. He was no longer alone, and he needed to remember that.

Emma had done a great job at making an organization, and he needed to utilize them well, even if he could potentially win by himself. He needed to stop taking risks for no reason and take over this world before attacking the Lumithars.

He released a sigh as he turned around once more. This time, it was for good as he flew in the direction of the Nightshade Territory, which was in the middle of the continent. The other founding families surrounded it, so he was currently going toward the east, right in the middle of the world.

All the founding families had been beaten by the Nightshades, which meant that Aiden only needed to take over their territory. He had to admit that it made his task a lot easier than in the past.

’Thank you, Sylas, you son of a bitch.’

***

Hours passed by, and Aiden was about to reach the Nightshade Territory. He knew he couldn’t fly over their territory, or else he would get spotted, so he landed not too far away from it as he would have to go through security. Well, he was supposed to, but he obviously wouldn’t.

He looked at the guards roaming around the ramparts, simply looking for a gap in their security. It wasn’t too hard to find one, as most guards weren’t even paying attention.

In less than five minutes, Aiden had managed to get in.

He had heard the guards on the way in talking about the Reapers, and a smile formed on his face.

They talked about how much they were a pain in the ass.

However, that was only the beginning.

The Reaper had arrived.
