“I asked have you guys eaten yet.”
“Are you guys willing to be my slaves?”
“Yes”
As the assassins answered, a big smile appeared on Nux’s face. Seeing that smile, Thyra also understood what happened. She remembered that they only answered with a yes before that weird energy entered their bodies and that was when everything happened.
‘Haah… I can’t believe such an absurd ability exists.’
Thyra sighed inwardly, however, she then noticed that his smile had faded and was replaced with a frown.
‘It did not work…’
Nux muttered inwardly as he realized that his plan did not work. This proves that he cannot cheat others with this. The target has to know what they are approving of. Just saying yes won’t work.
Nux took note of it and nodded inwardly.
Of course, Nux only treated this as an experiment and knew that it might fail. Therefore, he had already prepared the countermeasures.
Since Plan A failed, he started Plan B.
“Introduce them to me, tell them that I am…”
He then told everything to Thyra before he walked behind ‘Three’ and grabbed her before placing a dagger on her neck.
Why did he not do this with ‘Two’?
Well, who would like to touch a man if there is a woman next to him?
Nux wouldn’t.
As he touched ‘Three’ his [Conceal] wore off and he appeared in front of everybody.
Three couldn’t believe that someone had closed in on her and her body stiffened. The other assassins were also surprised but they quickly recovered and prepared to attack.
“Stop!”
However, before they could move, Thyra’s voice sounded and the assassins looked at her with a frown.
“He won’t harm her. If he wanted to harm us, he would have killed us all by now and we won’t be able to do anything… did you forget? None of you sensed his presence till now.”
Thinking about it a little more, ‘Two’ nodded and shuddered at the same time.
Who was this man?
Why was he unable to sense him?
However, though surprised, his condition wasn’t as bad as three.
She still couldn’t believe that someone sneaked behind her and placed his dagger on her neck and she was unable to do anything.
If this man had wanted to kill her, she wouldn’t have known how she died.
How scary was that!?
Seeing that the assassins had calmed down, Nux released ‘Three’ from his grasp before he walked in front of the group with his hands behind his back.
“Let me introduce him to you. He is Levi Ackerman, a veteran assassin sent by the Kingdom to train us, also, don’t look down on him just because he is at Master Stage Cultivator. He is a lot stronger than that. If you do not believe me, you can challenge him.
Although I will say it beforehand, Master Levi will only fight any one of you, he doesn’t have much time and has important things to attend to, so choose wisely.”
“I will fight”
‘Three’ stepped up.
She was very embarrassed when he appeared behind her and got her in such a helpless position, however, when she noticed he was just a Master Stage Cultivator, her embarrassment turned into anger.
Now that she has a chance to get back at him, she will do her very best to defeat him and wash her embarrassment.
“Alright”
Thyra nodded before she glanced at Nux who nodded back.
Then, a gold coin appeared in his hand as he glanced at Three.
“I will toss this coin up, the moment it falls on the ground, our fight will start.”
Three nodded as well and Nux tossed the coin.
Three then glanced at the coin that was tossed in the air for a second, however, that little second cost her the whole match.
Since her eyes were not on him, Nux quickly activated his [Conceal] and then waited for the coin to fall to the ground.
Three on the other hand panicked when she couldn’t see Nux and started looking around vigilantly.
*Kknn*
The coin fell on the ground and Nux started moving towards Three who was still looking around.
He then appeared behind her and placed his dagger near her neck and grabbed her from behind.
“Well, I guess the fight’s over”
Nux muttered before he released Three from his grasp.
Three, on the other hand, was frozen stiff as she couldn’t believe that she lost so quickly.
“H-How…”
However, Three wasn’t the only one surprised, the assassins who did not look at the coin were even more surprised than her.
All they saw was Three acting strangely, and when the coin fell, Nux leisurely walked towards Three before grabbing her from behind.
All this while, Three just looked around and did not move at all…
“T-Three… why didn’t you fight him when he walked towards you?”
One of the assassins couldn’t control himself and questioned.
“W-What are you talking about? How am I supposed to stop him when I can’t even see him?”
“B-But wasn’t he just standing right in front of you?”
“In front of me?” Now Three was even more confused.
What the hell was happening here? How could others see him when she could not? What kind of absurd ability is that?
“Alright Alright, stop talking. I don’t have time to waste here. I was sent here by the kingdom since Master thought you would need more training. So you all will be under my control. Is that clear?”
“Yes”
Every assassin answered simultaneously. This time, no one doubted his strength but they were still confused and wondered how he was doing all this.
“Good, now just for confirmation, let me ask you guys again,
Are you all willing to be Slaves?”
