The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

"You want to know why?" Aiden said as he started laughing by himself, lost in the emotions that he was feeling.

"Yes, why do you want strength so much? Do you really need it?" David asked, not backing down at all.

He wanted to hear the answer that would be coming out of his mouth. It was the first time that he had been able to talk with Aiden like this as he had always been emotionless before.

Not showing once how he truly felt about the things that surrounded him.

So, this was the perfect opportunity to do such a thing.

"Why do I need strength?" Aiden slowly said, still with the same voice as earlier.

Garestsa who was only a couple of steps away from him could feel shivers run down her spine hearing his voice.

"Are you blind, sir?"

David hearing the tone that Aiden had used when saying "sir" was confused as to what was happening to Aiden.

"Is it because of your past?" David asked, not caring if Aiden were to become violent, this was the best occasion to make use of that aggression.

It was a time to learn more about his disciple and he would be using every single moment.

"My past?" Aiden said out loud, repeating the word for seemingly no reason. "What do you know about my past, sir?"

David didn't say anything as he knew that Aiden was right, he knew nothing about it. There was no doubt about that.

"I don't anything about it, can't you tell me about it?"

Aiden simply smiled when he heard that as he couldn't even be bothered to answer what he had just heard coming out of the director's mouth.

"You want to know about how I was abused, and tortured to get stronger?" Aiden asked as he kept a straight face.

He knew that the director had already figured out that Aiden had lived a complicated life, however, he was still asking about it. Why would he be doing that?

"Yes, I want to know," David said as he would finally be receiving the answers that he had always wanted ever since he had met that young man.

He had already noticed that the rhythm at which Aiden was training wasn't normal, but that was only the start of it as David had also noticed the pressure that Aiden had been putting on himself. He had noticed how failure was never an option.

"Hehe, so you finally have the balls to ask me after all this time, huh?"

Aiden was clearly not well mentally right now as he knew that everything that he had worked toward this week had just failed.

The moment that the director would be leaving to see Anna, everything that he had worked for in this trial would amount to nothing, and the only thing that he would receive was a big failure.

In a sense, Aiden was similar to Sylas's son, the one that Aiden had beaten up during the Inter Family Tournament. He remembered how the son looked when he was on the verge of losing, and in a way it closely resembled how Aiden was currently acting.

However, it hadn't been as extreme as right now.

A black aura slowly started to come off Aiden's body as he clenched his entire body, not trying to do something that he would forever regret.

"Just tell me, alright? I just want to know what happened to you. I'm just trying to help you."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Aiden couldn't help but find this extremely ironic as Aiden was trying to do the exact opposite. The only thing that Aiden wanted to do right now was stick his dagger into someone's heart. It didn't matter the person as to who the heart would belong to. He needed to calm down and this was the only way that he had.

"I don't need your fucking help, go see Anna. Alright… just go see Anna if you can't trust me, I don't care."

The director could feel how broken Aiden was currently sounding, however, David had no idea on how to act with someone this troubled. He had never experienced something like this in his entire life, however, he knew one thing… he wouldn't be leaving Aiden's side until he became normal again.

"So, what happened when you were young, how did they torture you?"

Aiden smiled, ignoring what David had just said. "Are you really trying to help me?"

"Of course, I am," David replied with a smile.

There was not a single doubt in his mind that Aiden was simply having trouble having someone doubt his intentions. David had already noticed that Aiden seemed to be someone deeply scared of being betrayed by everyone around him.

So, when David decided to act like he didn't trust him, he exploded. However, that wasn't the only reason, but that was something that David couldn't know.

"Then, leave to see Anna and come back in at least five minutes. I need to calm down."

If anyone was able to see inside Aiden's mind, they would have understood that by claming down, the thing that he needed to do was kill someone. That was currently thing that was on Aiden's mind.

'I just can't kill you because you're too powerful,' Aiden thought as he looked straight into the eyes of David, who was also looking his way.

"Don't you find me crazy?"

"Don't you think that I'm a crazy person?"

"Of course not, you're not crazy."

Aiden then turned his head suddenly locking eyes with Garestsa, his red eyes piercing into hers.

"What about you? Do you think I'm crazy?"

Garestsa gulped as she felt even more shivers down her spine.

"Don't tell me that you're scared again?" Aiden said as he slowly took a step forward in her direction. "You can tell me, I won't hurt you."

However, that was a lie, the moment that David would leave… Garestsa would die. But, it wouldn't be a quick death, Aiden wanted to take his time.
