Chapter 140: Ch 140: A Whole New World- Part 4
"Y-You are insane-! Do you have any idea what you just did? What if we both died because of your actions? Would you have taken responsibility?"
My guide asked
and I knew that whatever budding relationship we had was buried under the rubble now;
It did not feel nearly as bad as it was supposed to and I attributed it to the fact that we were never close to each other.
Still, her lack of gratitude did sting
a little.
"Can’t you just thank
for saving your life?"
I asked the female and she gritted her teeth in anger.
"Thank you-? What do I thank you for? The only reason my life was in danger was because of you. Ugh-! I am going inside now. You take care of this ss yourself. And if master asks why I am not leading you around, you should tell him that it’s your own fault."
The female quickly left
alone with the assassin. I could tell that she had the lowest opinion of
now.
"Pfff-"
I turned to look at the assassin that made this laughing sound as he looked at
beefing with the female and I felt my eyes twitch for so reason.
"You do realize that laughing at
would only make
more agitated? I won’t agitate the person who has my life in their hand."
I warned the assassin and the man cald down to give
a blank look.
"Anyway, leaving that aside, I have a few questions for you. Who are you and why did you co after ?"
I had a few theories regarding this, but hearing the news from the source was the best way to make sure I was not making stuff up.
The man looked away for a minute before he answered .
"I am not sure what you an by that. You are just my target, nothing more and nothing less."
I got an answer from the assassin, but it was not the one I wanted to hear. So I decided that I would have him speak again. But this ti, I would give him a little bit of motivation to speak the words I wanted to hear.
"Ah, is that so? I don’t like the way you are speaking to . Since you are treating
as a fool, I will treat you like I am a fool as well."
I told the man before I grabbed his dominant hand and broke one of the fingers.
The pain caused the man to cry out and I forced a potion down his throat at the sa ti.
Even I knew that I had gone a little overboard, but I did not care at the mont. I was annoyed at this man and all the people whom I served today.
And this man just ended up being the one to bear the burden of my fury.
"Tsk, do you think the potion will make
speak? You are a fool-"
The man spoke but stopped halfway. He tried to keep his mouth shut but his mouth forced itself open once more.
"You will die a grueso death because you angered so important people. It would be better for you to disappear before that. Don’t be a fool and give up... or else..."
The man told .
I could tell that the assassin did not want to speak at all. And yet, he was forced to speak up because of the potion.
"Why am I... speaking all this...?"
The man asked but I gave him no answer. The more confused he would be, the better it would be for
after all.
However, the assassin was sharp enough to figure out what was happening.
"That potion... it’s making
speak, right? Do you think you will be able to make
spill my secrets if you do this?"
The man asked and I just sighed as I looked at him.
"You are taking this too personally. Anyone would have done the sa in my situation if their life was being threatened. I am just making sure I survive here."
I told the man and he flushed at my easy-going way. I had a feeling that we were not going to get along, no matter what happened.
Thankfully, I was not here to get along with this man and he knew that as well.
"Fuck you-! Curse you-! Ugh, do you not fear this world and its leaders? Do you really think you would be able to get away with insulting everyone in that room tonight? I am not the only assassin hired to co after you. You will die soon."
The man told
and I gave him a blank look.
I did have a feeling that this would happen.
But I was too stubborn to die.
"Hmm, I see. I kind of figured that would happen. So, care to tell
who you are?"
I asked the man and he looked taken aback.
"I... who I am? I am an assassin. As for my na... I lost that a long ti ago. I no longer recall who I used to be before all this. Ah-! Entering this dungeon ruined ."
The man told
as he lanted about his past and I felt sorry for him.
So I pulled the mask he was wearing away from his face and a sowhat familiar face looked back at .
’This face... where have I seen it before? I am sure I had seen it before. Ughhh, I am so bad with faces and nas.’
The re fact that the face in front of
looked familiar ant that it was really obvious who this person was.
But due to my inability to recognize faces for the most part, it was hard to figure out whom this man resembled.
"Don’t strain yourself. The world out of here is a huge place. I doubt you would know who I am. After all, I was the son of a humble café working couple... and it has been a long ti since I last saw them as well."
