The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 198 Chapter 198 - Mask Removal

Lilia, Melinda and Olivia made sure to look at Aiden's every moment because it was finally time for him to remove that Reaper Mask that hid his face.

Lilia didn't know why, but she was almost sure that she knew the person that was under that mask, she had gotten that sensation ever since she had laid her eyes on that mask.

She had that feeling deeply rooted in her mind, that she knew the person that was on the other side of that mask.

Melinda on the other hand was wondering what he even looked like in the first place, was he wearing a mask because he didn't like his appearance?

Was it related to that?

Well, she could only hope that it wasn't since the entirety of her techniques depended on someone's charm.

'Should I do it?' thought Aiden, hesitating.

Showing his identity to everyone around him was a big deal, especially to someone who was part of the Nightshade.

However, he had a feeling that he could trust that person on his right. He wasn't sure why, but he simply knew that he could trust that person.

He had never spent time with her, but the emotions that he felt when looking at her gave him some confidence that she could be trusted and that she wasn't like the rest of the Nightshade Family.

Aiden had seen the result of losing a fight when being in the Nightshade and he had to admit that he couldn't even begin to imagine what he had gone through when he was young, not being able to awaken.

Olivia wanted to see Aiden's face for almost the same reasons as Melinda, she wanted to see just how handsome that masked figure was.

In her case, she had no doubt that the Reaper was someone extremely stunning as she had known that he was beautiful the moment that she had laid her eyes on him, having a feeling just like Lilia.

'What if Lilia isn't someone I can trust,' thought Aiden, thinking about multiple scenarios in his head.

He knew that removing this mask was a big deal and that he needed to be careful about revealing his face.

'What if I use that new skill of mine?' thought Aiden, remembering that he would be able to change the appearance of his face for one hour.

However, he quickly dismissed that thought as he would have at some point to show his face to Melinda and the others in other instances.

'I guess I really don't have any other choice,' thought Aiden as he started to slowly remove his mask.

Well, he wasn't removing the mask, he was removing the Everchanging Item, but they were the same thing at the moment.

Then, slowly some skin started to show and instantly the three girls were really excited.

They were finally going to see what he looked like, almost all of them had been waiting to see that face since the start of the tournament.

"What are you doing?" asked Maelis, who just couldn't understand why Aiden would remove his mask at such a time.

He had asked to be anonymous, so why was he going to reveal his identity to so many different people, it just didn't make any sense in her mind.

But, that was solely due to the fact, that she didn't know about all of the deals that Aiden had made during the duration of the tournament.

"Don't worry about it," replied Aiden, as he continued to slowly lift the reaper's mask.

When he had pronounced those words, Aiden's lips had been almost visible as they were able to glance at them and only his lips made Olivia confident about her intuition that the man behind that mask was one sexy person.

After all, for Emma to act in such a way with her, the Reaper had to be extremely beautiful and handsome, that was simply a fact.

Then, Aiden was tired of teasing them as he finally removed the entirety of his mask, revealing face for everyone around him to see.

Aiden was honestly interested in seeing the types of reactions that he would be receiving from his appearance as he knew that he was good-looking, much more than in his past life.

However, was he really that attractive?

Nonetheless, seeing the open-mouthed faces of those around him were doing, he now understood that maybe he really was someone extremely beautiful.

In fact, even Melinda had her mouth wide open, shocked by the beauty that she was seeing in front of her.

Out of all the people that she had seen in her life, she had to admit that the Reaper was one of a kind.

But then, the three girls who were seeing his face for the very first time started to calm down as they suddenly started to question him about his identity and where he comes from, things like that.

Aiden was obviously not that comfortable answering all that information as he would often lie in his answers. However, he was so used to lying about those that his answers seemed real even for Melinda who was known in the art of fooling others.

"So, um what's your name?" asked Melinda, as she couldn't wait to hear the name that went with that beautiful face of his.

"Aiden," he replied, keeping it really short.

"Only Aiden what about your last name?"

"Well, it was Everheart and now it's Emberbane I guess."

Melinda was a little frustrated hearing that, however, she continued to persist in trying to get answers.

"Then, what about before that? You didn't have a family name?" she asked, oblivious to his previous situation.

However, before he could even try to answer Lilia who was looking at him on his right seemed to be mumbling something.

"There's no way, there's just no way."

"You're not dead..." continued mumbling Lilia, in such a quiet tone that no one around them could even hear it.

"What are you saying?" asked Melinda, annoyed by the constant mumbling that was going on.

She needed to have answers and there was always this annoying background noise.
