Chapter 97 Have You Guys Eaten?
Chapter 97 Have You Guys Eaten?
"Alright, we are heading to the Hardwick Mansion, now"
"W-What?"
"Did you not hear me? Take me to the Hardwick Mansion"
"B-But, although I can deal with the Two and Three, that does not mean I can deal will every assassin alone, are you thinking about taking all the assassins we have and go for an all-out attack?"
"Huh? Do you think I am stupid? Why would I make my men fight each other and weaken themselves? I will just repeat what I did earlier. The only difference will be that with you here, the process will be a lot simpler."
Nux shrugged before he stood up.
"What are you waiting for? Lead me"
Actually, even Thyra was curious about how he managed to turn Alger into his slave, now that she is about to witness it again, she couldn't deny that she was looking forward to it.
As for her comrades who were about to become this man's slaves. Well, she couldn't do anything about it no matter how much she thinks about it.
So as not to further torture herself, she decided that she will find some ways to get rid of him later.
He is just a mere Master Stage Cultivator after all.
She then nodded before she turned around and left the room. Nux followed her, and when the two of them left the Bannermane Mansion, he activated his [Conceal] with only Thyra being able to see him.
Thyra did not notice what he did, however, she was surprised by how easily Nux was matching her speed.
As an Assassin, speed was her strong part, she felt annoyed that a mere Master Stage Cultivator was keeping up with her, and he is a hateful one at that.
She then used her skills, and increased her speed to the maximum, however, she was horrified that although not completely, Nux still matched her speed to a great extent!
She was a Peak Grand Master, even a new Expert Stage Cultivator might not be her match in speed!
How is a Master Stage Cultivator matching up with her speed!?
What kind of freak was he!?
"Hmm, I feel like Steps Of Gale is too slow for me now…"
After they appeared in front of Hardwick Mansion, Nux muttered to himself and Thyra froze.
"A-Are you talking about the 1 Star Skill, the Steps Of Gale?"
"Yes, I got it from Fel, but I think it is too low levelled for me now."
"…"
Thyra stayed silent, however, inwardly, she was having an existential crisis.
'He is using a 1 Star Skill!? H-How is he keeping up with me then!? I am using a 4 Star Skill! How is he a Master Stage Cultivator!? Is he a hidden Expert Stage Cultivator!?
A monster!
A complete monster!'
"Alright let's not waste more time and enter the Mansion. Lead the way"
Nux ordered and Thyra started moving. Although she did not know how he will enter the Mansion with her, she did not care and just walked into the Mansion.
She had covered her face, but it was not the first time the guards have seen her, so they did not stop her.
She wondered why the guards did not stop Nux but then she concluded that they thought of him as her servant and let him go.
Thyra shook her head as she walked into the mansion and then moved towards a dark hallway.
She noticed that the maids and other guards did not even look at Nux and couldn't help but smile a little.
'Hmph! How does it feel to be treated like air by everyone? Huh?'
The two of them then appeared in front of a wooden door that look very similar to the one in the Bannermane Mansion.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
"It is me, One"
The door was then opened and the two of them entered.
However, soon, Thyra realized something.
Just like those maids and guards, the assassins were ignoring Nux as well, but she knows them well, they would never do that.
They might let him enter here since he was with her, but they would still look at them vigilantly, or at least question her about him, or something like that.
Anyways, they would never outright ignore his presence.
Just as she was thinking about what is happening, Nux answered.
"They can't see me"
"What?" Thyra muttered out loud.
"What?"
'Two' questioned with a frown as he looked at Thyra.
"Hm?"
"What are you talking about?" he questioned again, feeling a little weird about her actions.
"Nothing" This time, Thyra was sure. It is as Nux said, no one can see him…
What kind of sorcery was this!?
He is standing right in front of everyone and no one can see him!?
Is he a ghost!?
Then why can she see him!?
"Alright, don't think too much about it, gather all of them"
Thyra's mouth moved on her own as she ordered. "Alright, everyone, gather up"
Two frowned when he noticed that she was acting strange but when since she was the strongest, and the leader of this group, he nodded and stood straight. Other assassins were also gathered here and more than 20 assassins assembled around.
"Now question something they would answer with a yes"
Thyra frowned due to the weird order but since she couldn't do anything to go against it, she started thinking and she questioned after some time.
"Have you guys eaten?"
The assassins looked at her weirdly.
Under their judgmental look, Thyra felt strange.
"Question in a stricter tone" Nux ordered.
"I asked have you guys eaten yet."
Thyra felt even more weird asking a question like that in a strict tone but she felt even weirder when she heard Nux questioning something at the same time as her.
"Are you guys willing to be my slaves?"
