The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

"If you can't then I'll just go and tell the director everything that you just told me, he'll know where to find you," she said looking at him without the slightest remorse in her eyes. "Is that what you want?"

She was acting cruel or stupid, it wasn't clear, but Aiden knew that she was acting this way because she wanted attention in some way.

'I don't think she's going to do it, but still, I can't take any chances,' Aiden thought as he was currently thinking about how he could be dealing with her.

"Well, if you do that…" Aiden muttered as he got closer to her, finally bringing out that dagger. "I'll have to kill you just like I killed Garestsa."

Those words sent shivers down Garestsa's spine because she had never thought that Aiden would be talking to her like this.

"I-I'm joking, just tell me… please," Evelynn said as she started begging. "I just want to help, believe me!"

She was starting to lose hope as Aiden was making it clearer by the minute that such a thing wouldn't be possible, it was simply impossible for him to trust her to the fullest of her abilities.

Sure, he had told her that it wasn't because of trust but both Aiden and Evelynn knew deep down that it was related to it.

Aiden knew that she was sincere, but there was still this chance of her betraying him and he knew that he couldn't go through another scene like this where someone close to him would betray him. It had happened to him a couple of times already and it really was hard to go through such a thing.

"What can I do to prove it to you!" She shouted as she kneeled down. She was telling the truth but it seemed that it wasn't enough for Aiden as he kept ignoring her, not even saying a single word to her.

It hurt.

Being ignored is something that could hurt someone deeply and that was the exact thing that was happening.

"If you can find a spell that would make it impossible for you to betray then I would accept to tell you about what I will do next, if you can't then there's no way of that happening…" Aiden said as he slowly looked down, knowing his words hurt. "I'm sorry."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Evelynn looked at him and those red eyes of his, and started thinking as fast as she could about a solution.

'Something that can make it impossible for me to betray him, was there an artifact that can make such a thing possible?' She thought.

She knew that it wasn't a common thing, however, she immediately thought of something. However, there was one small problem she wasn't sure if she wanted to use the solution that she had found.

It was quite the cruel one all things considered.

"T-There is something that we could use…" She muttered clearly showing how hesitant she was over revealing it.

Aiden didn't want to pressure her, but he knew that he needed to move on with his assassination, "What is it?"

He noticed that she was dragging this whole thing on and on, so he would be getting answers at a much faster rate from now on.

"A Slave Contract, that would be the only thing that could make me unable to betray you…" She muttered as she knew that it would be a big deal to sign such a thing.

However, Aiden was interested when he heard those words as the name of it was kind of telling, she would become his slave.

It wasn't something that he particularly appreciated, but if it would make him reassured. He would do it, there was not a single doubt in his mind.

"What does it do?" Aiden asked, right away, clearly intrigued by this artifact that she had mentioned.

Evelynn looked away from him unsure if she wanted to tell him, the item that she had just suggested would have some pretty big effects after all.

Still, she knew that it was the only way for her to continue working with him on something which is why she accepted in taking the risk.

"It binds me to you, making me unable to refuse an order coming from you. As a result, it makes me unable to betray. Those contracts are usually used on slaves which is where this name comes from."

Aiden nodded at this information as he had to admit that it made a lot of sense. Hearing the explanation of the item, Aiden had no problem in using it and he knew that she was probably worried about certain things regarding it.

"Look, you don't need to worry about me telling you stuff that you don't to do. I will never force anyone in such a way, if you don't want to do something or stay just tell me."

Evelynn nodded as it was reassuring to hear Aiden speak in such a manner. Still, words were just words, there was no way to tell how he would act in the future.

"Is there a way for this contract to be canceled?" Aiden asked as he didn't want to keep her as a slave for his entire life, just for the time that he would take care of the director.

"There is, both parties need to agree though. I won't be able to break if that's what you're worried about."

"And where can I find them?" Aiden asked as this was the most important question.

Evelynn quickly answered as she knew that Aiden wouldn't back down from this, he would be using this on her. Still, she couldn't help but ask one last time.

"Are you sure that you can't trust without it? Wouldn't it be fine either way?"

Aiden sighed, he knew that it was something that was hard on her, but he didn't see any other solutions at the moment.

"I can't, so just tell me where I can find one and I'll go get it," Aiden asked.

"Just follow me, I'll show you, it's in the city nearby."

Aiden nodded and started following her as he couldn't help but wonder where that little pet of hers had gone off to.
