The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Aiden, Jake, and Emma were walking through the huge halls of their base, and Aiden couldn't believe it.

It was a strange experience such a thing after that much time. Though it was strange, he liked it a lot.

"So, how many officers are there?" Aiden asked with a laugh.

Jake smiled. "Well, there's a few…I'm the highest-ranked officer, I guess. So, they all obey me." He pointed toward Emma. "She's the leader of the organization. Well, maybe not anymore, she was."

Aiden nodded, hearing that. It seemed that Emma was truly respected by the organization's members for some reason. He knew that she was the leader, but for some unknown reason, everyone bowed at her every time she walked in front of her.

'It's almost as if I was back in my old life…'

Aiden couldn't believe it, but it was his reality right now.

A few seconds later, they arrived in front of a massive wooden door, where a bunch of noise was coming from the other side.

"Do you think it's true?"

"Is he really back from the dead?"

"I heard that he was handsome. I can't wait to see him."

Aiden smiled at those words as it seemed Emma had already talked a lot about him to the officers.

They pushed the door wide open, and Aiden walked in without saying a word.

He had his chest bumped up and made sure to appear as strong as possible in front of his officers. Emma and Jake quickly followed behind as everything turned silent in an instant.

Maybe it was the dark aura surrounding him that had caused such a reaction. But it was a strange thing to experience for Emma since nothing like that had ever happened before.

Every officer's gaze was directed in Aiden's way. They all looked at him as if he was a God.

Aiden found his seat fairly quickly, which was right beside Emma's, who was sitting at the end of the oval-shaped table.

Before Emma could even say a word, there were a bunch of hands raised up high.

"Clara, go ahead," Emma said, giving her the right to speak.

Aiden glanced at her.

She didn't look anything special. She had long pink hair and green eyes. However, there was one thing that caught Aiden's eye, and that was her body. She was even more muscular than him, and she had a huge mace right beside her. It must have been to prove something since she could have put it inside a spacial pouch or ring. But no, it was lying right beside her.

Still, she had a huge smile on her face as she was given the right to speak.

"I-Is that him? Is that the true Reaper?" Discover exclusive content at empire

Her voice had a tinge of excitement mixed with doubt.

"Why are you asking me?" Emma replied. "Just ask him your questions, and you don't need to raise your hands. Just talk one by one."

Everyone inside the room suddenly stared at Aiden and his appearance.

Some of them had looks of awe on their faces, while others were frowning with a hint of disgust. Aiden could read their faces, but he waited for their questions.

"Are you the Reaper?"

Aiden shrugged. "Yes, I thought my identity had been revealed…oh well."

Right as he answered this question, another person spoke up.

"Is it true that you were level 15 when you left the tutorial?" One person asked with a look of aspiration.

"It is," Aiden replied. "Well, around level 15. I can't recall."

Just as someone else was about to ask a question. Aiden realized that there was something weird that he hadn't noticed.

The fact that Ava was nowhere to be seen.

He raised his hands toward the officers as he turned in Emma's direction.

"Where's Ava? Isn't she one of the officers?"

Emma rubbed the back of her head. "Ah…that girl. Right…well, there were some problems with her."

Aiden frowned. "Such as?"

"She wouldn't listen. So, I had no choice but to get rid of her once and for all."

Aiden remembered the fact that she would only listen to him. However, he could see that there was something wrong with what she was saying. Emma wasn't telling the entire truth.

"Just tell me what really happened."

Everyone within the room was shocked at how Aiden talked to their leader, as no one had ever dared show disrespect to her.

"Well, she was annoying, so I got rid of her. She was a sneaky bitch, and you couldn't see it. So, I got rid of her as soon as you left."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Aiden's eyebrows rose.

He hadn't expected the sweet Emma to be so harsh as to kill someone in cold blood. She had also said those words casually as if it was something that she did in her daily life from now on.

Still, it might be a good change considering the war approaching.

Aiden rested both his arms, and he released a sigh.

"Ah…it's fine. Whatever, enough about that. Let's talk about the war and what happened during my absence." Aiden turned toward the rest of them with a smile. "I know most of you have a lot of questions. But we'll do that at a later time. I've been away for a long time, and I need to know a little more about what happened while I was gone."

All of them nodded as they suddenly turned serious.

"No problem. We'll tell you everything that happened over those five years," Emma said as she stood up and started walking around the table.

Telling Aiden everything that had happened over the course of five years was a large task, as it took multiple hours for everything to be said. Still, by the end of it, Aiden was smiling. He knew everything that had happened, and there was one that had marked his mind.

It was Sylas's son.

The one who had scarred Emma for life.

Lucius Nightshade.

That man would be the first to die.
