The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 243 243 - Once



Chapter 243 243 – Once

While Aiden was about to reveal his last name and where he came from, his mind was obviously in constant doubt.

However, he kept going as he knew that it was the best option at the moment, especially regarding getting some answers, about his past, the system, and everything that he didn’t know about.

But, even if Aiden was about to reveal his past, well the old Aiden’s past. He wouldn’t be telling Melinda about him coming from another world as this would simply make everything extremely confusing and this wasn’t what Aiden wanted.

He wanted clear and concise answers, even if it would be hard to get some.

“Um, interesting, then go ahead what sort of questions do you want to ask me?” said Melinda before accepting or refusing his offers.

“Wait, before I ask those questions, I need to tell you something about me,” exclaimed Aiden, his mind still full of doubts.

He was imagining many scenarios, and all of them were more crazy than the last.

Melinda hearing that had to admit that she was quite confused as she didn’t expect Aiden to be revealing any of his secrets which he held dear. 𝞰𝒐𝒱𝓮𝔩𝐍𝔢xt.𝒸𝚘𝕞

Only revealing his first name and face had taken so much out of him, so Melinda wasn’t expecting any big news coming out of her mouth.

She didn’t know what he would be telling her, but it probably would be something really small that maybe she knew.

Then, it was finally time, Aiden would finally reveal that he had once been part of the Nightshade Family, well not him in particular, but right now he needed to act like it had been him.

“You see…, you noticed that I always wear my mask everywhere I go, right?”

Seeing that Melinda nodded, Aiden quickly continued.

“Well, you see the reason why I have been wearing this mask is actually quite simple, it’s become of where I come from,” said Aiden, looking at the now-confused face which Melinda had.

‘His background? He comes from the Slums, he doesn’t have any background,’ said Melinda to herself.

However, her thoughts were clearly flawed since she ignored so many things about Aiden. So, she shouldn’t have thought that everything about him is the truth, because that is not the case at all.

“My background is actually quite complicated and I would like for you to keep it a secret,” said Aiden, wanting to see what Melinda would say.

This time, it seemed that she realized that maybe Aiden didn’t come from the Slums or else there would simply be no way that he would be such a big deal out of it. He wasn’t dumb enough to do that.

“Um, well I’ll see what I can do,” replied Melinda, with an evasive answer not knowing what Aiden would reveal next.

‘Well, I guess that’s good enough,’ thought Aiden, preparing himself.

‘Alright, let’s do it,’ said Aiden to himself, pumping himself up since no one else could do it for him.

“You see, I wasn’t part of the Slums like you think. In fact, I was part of a pretty good family. However, remember that word, I ‘was’ part of a good family,” started off Aiden, making it clear that he didn’t have any relations with them anymore.

This statement only allowed to confuse Melinda even more, however, never in a million years was she expecting what Aiden said next.

“You see, I was once part of the Nightshade Family,” said Aiden, finally revealing it.

Then, as he said that, he immediately started looking at Melinda’s reaction, wondering what she would do or how she would act.

However, to his surprise, she didn’t do much, in fact, she hadn’t moved a single inch ever since Aiden had said.

Maybe she was too shocked to have a reaction or maybe that was her reaction, a reaction which contained so much shock that she couldn’t even move.

A few seconds later, it seemed that Melinda was starting to realize what Aiden had just said, however, she was simply in a state of pure confusion.

“Y-you were in what family now?” she asked once again, making sure that she had really understood correctly what he had just said.

Aiden who had now revealed it one time, didn’t feel as scared this time as he simply repeated without worry as he knew that he couldn’t control what would happen next.

“The Nightshades, I was once part of the Nightshade Family,” he repeated, with confidence.

Melinda then started giggling or laughing out loud, Aiden wasn’t sure. However, he knew one thing, Melinda didn’t seem to be in her best condition, at least, mentally.

“You sure know how to make a joke,” she exclaimed after laughing for some moments.

‘A joke? She thinks I’m joking?’ thought Aiden, unsure if he needed to repeat once again.

It seemed that Melinda just didn’t want to believe what he had just said or maybe she did but acted as if it wasn’t true.

“It’s not a joke, I really was born into the Nightshade Family,” confirmed Aiden once again, starting to get annoyed over the matter that he needed to repeat it over and over again.

Hearing that once again, Melinda had no choice but to accept that it was probably the truth, however, she still needed a little bit more information.

Nonetheless, even before asking those questions, she had to admit that it was making a lot of sense, the mask, the fact that he didn’t want to reveal his name. A lot of things which had confused her before started to make a lot more sense.

“But, what happened, why are you talking in the past tense, what happened?” finally asked Melinda, seemingly becoming normal once again, not laughing out of nowhere.

‘Well, that’s the complicated part, I don’t know much, but I’ll still tell her what I know of,’ thought Aiden, as he knew that he had been kicked out or rather banished because he was talentless.

However, he remembered those chains that were inside his body and he wasn’t sure if that was actually the only reason.
