The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 333 333 - Failure or Success?



Chapter 333 333 – Failure or Success?

It had been a couple of days since that night, and things were going well from what Anna had told Aiden.

She was making a lot of advancements on the mana-restricting potion. However, none of the tests showed that the potion was perfect.

It reduced the amount of mana that was available to the person using it. But… it never had the effect that was researched.

Nonetheless, it was still very good news for Aiden since it meant that he would soon be able to leave this place and go back to Nova.

Aiden knew that when he came back, the only thing that would be waiting for him would be more and more training… At least, that’s what he thought.

He didn’t think that the Nightshade Family would be trying to fight another founding family.

He, personally, didn’t think that such a thing was possible because if such a thing truly happened then the other families would join and try to take one of the founding families.

It was obvious that none of the Patriarch or Matriarch wanted to lose their position as the strongest. They knew that everyone was gunning for it, but they weren’t strong enough, and more importantly, none of the high-level families had the connection to become a founding family.

There was a reason that they were called a founding family.

“This is the last ingredient on the list, right?” Evelynn asked, looking at Aiden who was on her right.

They were currently shopping for the ingredients that Anna had asked for. They were close to being finished. Aiden hoped that tonight would be the right one, or else he would need to wait for another complete day, and he was starting to get tired of it.

“Yeah, that’s right. Let’s see if that shop is open,” Aiden said as he pointed toward one of the shops that was closest to them.

It was still around two in the morning, so Aiden knew that there weren’t many shops that were open at such a time. However, there were still some that opened and they were now regulars in those shops.

‘I have to admit that we were lucky that Anna decided to fund us for the potion,’ Aiden thought as he knew that if that wasn’t a possibility, they would have been obligated to go into that fucking forest and search the ingredients.

Such a process would have taken way longer than a week, they would have been stuck in that mountain for ours without finding any time. Both Evelynn and Aiden didn’t know much about the ingredients that Anna was suggesting.

Seeing that the light of the shop was open, Aiden and Evelynn pushed the doors wide open and started looking everywhere around them trying to find that ingredient.

“Oh, it’s right there!” Aiden exclaimed.

***

A few moments later, they were back to Anna’s lab with a multitude of ingredients.

“You’re finally here!” She exclaimed seeing the two casually enter her laboratory.

She had been patiently waiting here after preparing everything, she almost couldn’t contain herself because of the excitement that she was currently feeling.

“Are you two excited to witness history with your very own eyes!” She continued, hyping both of them up.

“Well, let’s hope that we can see it, tonight,” Aiden replied as he had heard that exact sentence at least five times in the past three days.

Each night that he was coming he was supposed to witness history, but every single time… the potion wasn’t a success.

“Don’t worry, I’m telling you… tonight is the night!” She said excitedly.

Seeing how crazy she was acting, Aiden remembered the first scientist that he had met in his second trial. If Aiden remembered correctly his name was Alex and he was the one who had created the potions that could give Aiden stat points.

It was also because of his potion that he discovered that he had a hidden potential related to his body. A potential that would be possible for Aiden to ascend isn’t a possibility for any of the founding families’ heads.

That was something that Aiden was proud of. He was proud that he had an advantage over the heads of all the founding families for some reason it held great meaning for Aiden.

“Alright, hand me those what are you waiting for!” Anna said as she took the ingredients from both Evelynn and Aiden’s hands.

She went back toward her cauldron as she dropped everything without the slightest caution. It seemed that she truly believed that she had found a way to make this potion work.

*BOOM*

A small explosion came out of the cauldron, which surprised Aiden and Evelynn greatly.

However, looking at the smile that had appeared on Anna’s face, it looked like it was all part of her plan.

That’s why Aiden didn’t immediately give up as he got closer to the cauldron slowly. He didn’t want to get caught in yet another explosion, however, he wanted to see what was happening inside that cauldron.

He wanted to try and feel the mana, just like he had done when creating his first potion.

‘Well, I didn’t really feel it. It was sort of cheating, but whatever… it’s not like it matters,’ Aiden mused.

As he got closer, he was able to see the content of the massive cauldron and he tried spotting that thin line. However, no matter how much time he spent looking at it, he noticed that there was nothing that meant one of two things.

Either his skill wasn’t high-leveled enough or the potion was a fail yet again.

Aiden prayed that it would be the first option as he looked at the confidence that was in Anna’s eyes.

She kept swirling and mixing the potion in a variety of motions, there was never a single hesitation when she did so.

To be honest, it was mesmerizing to look at her craft potions. However, Aiden had learned to stop looking at her movements a long time ago, he now only cared about the result… the process didn’t matter at all.

A few moments later, she completely stopped mixing the potion as she looked Aiden right in the eyes.

“Come look…”
