In the Bannermane Mansion, Alger was walking around nervously while a woman wearing black clothes was standing in front of him.
“Ugghh! Why are they not here yet? How long will it take?”
This was the 11th time he asked that question and this time, the woman, who was always ignoring him couldn’t hold out any more and snapped.
“What the hell is wrong with you!? Assassination is a work of patience, not to mention that they have to kidnap someone as well. Also, it has only been an hour since they left you idiot! Now stop moving around like a bug!”
Alger then paused as he glared at the woman in front of him,
“Don’t talk to me like that, I am not your subordinate.”
He replied in a threatening tone.
“Oh yeah? Well I am not your subordinate as well, so stop annoying me”
The woman threatened back, her voice sending chills down to Alger’s spine. However, he controlled his fear and gained some confidence as he replied.
“What would you do if I don’t? No, let me rephrase, what can you do if I don’t?”
The woman’s gaze turned cold, her icy blue eyes glared at Alger and before he could react, a dagger was placed in front of his neck.
“Don’t think you can talk to me like that just because you are a useful pawn for the kingdom. Remember, pawns are always the first ones to be sacrificed. Although a pawn dying without fulfilling his role hurts, it is not to the extent that the kingdom would take any action themselves.
So don’t think I can not kill you because of the kingdom. Am I clear?”
Her threatening voice was so cold that Alger’s scalp went numb.
The icy cold eyes that shined menacingly told him that she wasn’t fooling around.
One more word and he will die.
*Gulp*
Alger gulped audibly and nodded.
“Good, and don’t disturb me for today”
Saying that, the woman turned around and left.
Only after she left the hall did Alger’s stiff body return to normal. He then took a few deep breaths to calm his racing heart.
Then his gaze turned cold and a green-black dagger appeared in his hand.
“Should I do it?” Alger muttered.
Soon, however, he shook his head and calmed down.
The woman wasn’t alone, if anything happened to her, all those assassins might come after him.
He then stored his dagger inside his Space Ring and sighed.
“Let’s just take a bath”
Alger muttered to himself before he walked into his bathroom.
…
After his bath, Alger was sitting at his dining table, along with his wife and 7 consorts. A servant then walked over before he put some food on the table and ate it in front of everyone.
Alger nodded and the servant started putting food on everyone’s plates.
“Alright, let’s start”
Alger ordered and everyone started eating.
…
After the dinner, Alger wanted to spend some time with his harem, but when he remembered that the assassins still haven’t returned yet, his mood worsened and he just walked into his room to have some rest.
He then jumped onto his soft bed and soon, he entered the dreamland at an astonishing quick speed.
…
While Alger was sleeping peacefully without the care of the world, he did not notice a pair of captivating golden eyes watching his every movement.
Suddenly, a figure wearing skintight black clothes and a black mask that covered his nose and mouth appeared in front of his bed. The figure then took his Space Ring and a green-black dagger appeared in the figure’s hand.
*Slap*
He then walked towards Alger and slapped his face.
*Bam*
Alger’s body flew out before it crashed with the wall. He quickly woke up and looked around, but he couldn’t see anyone.
His brows furrowed as he stood up, just as he was about to call his servant, an intense pain assaulted him on his right leg.
‘AAAGGhhhhhH!’
He saw a big, deep cut on his calf as blood flowed out uncontrollably. He then finally saw a figure wearing black clothes, carrying a familiar dagger in his hands looking at him with his exquisite golden eyes.
“Wow, this dagger is really great. It’s already showing its effect”
Alger then heard his joyful voice and he quickly understood what that numbing feeling on his calf was.
That dagger in the man’s hand wasn’t just a familiar dagger, it was his dagger!
How did he get his hand on it!?
He then looked at his hand and noticed that his ring was gone! Alger then thought of a possibility and his eyes widened.
“Yes, you are right, I poisoned your food. The Strangler, if you know about it”
Alger’s eyes widened in horror when he saw the poison the man carried in his hand.
“Oh! It seems you know about it!
Maannan, it is really a ruthless poison huh… first it makes the target fall into a deep sleep, and when he wakes up, he won’t be able to speak anything for the next hour… Giving an assassin all the time he needs to kill the target…”
“Also… your dagger is pretty cool. A peak 5-star dagger, with a numbing effect on the target, with that slash on your calf, your whole leg must be numb now, closing all your paths for running away.”
“Hmmmm? Bruh, I just noticed, you are in a really bad position, aren’t you? Can’t run away, can’t call for help… completely at my mercy… If I were you, I would pray to the god that I am not a bad person.”
The more the man spoke, the more fear Alger felt.
‘Who is he!?’
As if reading his mind, the man smiled and answered,
“Oh, you must be wondering who I am right?”
He then lowered his mask and Alger’s eyes widened.
‘Dio- No! He is that Nux!
Nux Leander!’
