The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

120 Chapter 120 - The Tournament Winner?



"Are you sure that he had a white cloth around his eyes?" repeated Olivia, making sure that she had heard correctly.

The tone in her voice was quite serious which made Aiden think that maybe she knew something about his identity.

Even Emma seemed to know something about such a person as she looked at him with shock in her eyes. However, she didn't talk only observing the situation unfold in front of her.

She was still scared of the black aura that had just been released and she didn't want to upset him. What if that aura were to be directed at her instead of Olivia?

She didn't want to be scared of him, which is why she only decided to watch as she had noticed that Aiden was on the verge of getting very mad.

It seemed that this tournament was important for him for some reason. 

Well, the reason was simple, he wanted to prove to himself that he wasn't weak anymore and that he would be able to face others.

He wanted to show that he wasn't weak so weak that he would be controlled by anyone, well... that was what he wanted but he knew deep inside that he wouldn't be powerful enough to do so.

But, he still wanted to try and show that he was the best amongst his peers, that was his short-term goal.

"Yes, he had some weird bandage on his eyes," responded Aiden, waiting for Olivia to explain why she had asked him if he was sure.

"No way," she muttered, almost whispering.

Aiden got frustrated hearing that whisper as he wanted her to explain it to the whole group and he once again knew that didn't have much time left before their arrival.

"Fast, who is he?" said Aiden, trying to pressure her into responding right away.

"Yeah, right, he's called the prodigy. Someone who comes from a low-level family who is supposed to have a shot at winning this tournament," said Olivia.

Hearing what she had just said, Aiden was confused, to say the least, as he didn't understand why someone talented would be stuck in a low-level family, especially one who had enough talent to have a nickname.

"The prodigy? How skilled is he?" asked Aiden, trying to make a fair assumption of his skills.

But Olivia's answer completely ruined that idea of his. 

"That's the thing, nobody knows his skills or his class," explained Olivia.

"That's right, I only heard of his title, but I never heard of his skills," added Emma, confirming what Olivia had just said.

'Guess, we'll discover them as we fight,' thought Aiden, as he knew that the fight between the two teams would be arriving very soon.

Then, as Aiden was about to continue talking the one who had been shy since earlier, spoke up seemingly having something to say at such a time.

"Hmm, you guys should look behind, it seems like they're here," said Logan as he advanced toward the four people who had just arrived.

He went past Emma, Aiden, and Olivia, assuming his role as a front line. He seemed determined to not let anyone pass through this challenge.

Meanwhile, the four founding families' Patriarchs and Matriarchs were now talking about how some of the fights were currently progressing.

"Are you still looking at your son, stupid Nightshade," said the bulky dwarf.

However, the Nightshade Patriarch didn't even bother to even answer such insults as he kept himself focused, seemingly analyzing every single detail.

"Don't bother talking to him, you know how he is?" said the grey-bearded man, who had no wrinkles on his face.

Then, the dwarf turned toward that person as he said almost the exact same thing.

"And you? Who are you looking at?" asked the dwarf, aggressively. "And remove that damn disguise," said the dwarf shortly after.

"What do you mean disguise?" said the grey-bearded man, like he didn't know what he was doing.

However, the dwarf wasn't a dupe.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about, Melinda," said the dwarf as he could see some parts of the bearded man starting to change.

The eyes, the nose, the mouth, all of them seemed to start to twitch. Then, it was his body which changed, the muscular man was starting to lose muscle, as he became rather slim. 

On his chest, appeared two big mountains.

"Did you not like it, Thorin?" said Melinda, smiling gently toward the little dwarf.

"I prefer looking at you this way, hehe," said the dwarf as his cheeks turned completely red as he looked at her body.

"You see that's why I didn't reveal my true appearance, pig," said Melinda, disgusted by the expression Thorin currently had on his face.

"Ahaha, I guess you were right, but who cares, what about the tournament, who do you think will win?" asked Thorin, once again, as he was actually curious about her opinion.

"Hmm... well, I don't know. I don't think my family will win, I don't have a really strong awakener. I don't know if that was what you were asking," answered Melinda as she knew that he was probably interested in that.

She knew that he wanted to learn a little more about her current strength, so she just answered the question in a way that wouldn't make Thorin bother her.

"No I don't care about that, who do you think will win this year, overall?" asked Thorin again, seemingly not interested in her family's strength.

"Um, I don't know, I have many prospects, we have Mister Nightshade's son on the list, Mister Alex Nightshade. I think he has a good shot at winning," said Melinda as it seemed to be an obvious answer, but then she added something out of nowhere.

"But, I don't know, I feel like we might be surprised on who might be winning this tournament, this year," she said as she glanced toward the crystal globe that was right beneath her.

On it, was a man exuding a completely dark aura, as if he was death himself.
