Chapter 100 This Should Be An Interesting Experiment "AAAGGGHHhhhhh!!" By now, Nux was already used to seeing this scene and did not feel anything. "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, if you think about betraying me, you will suffer from an agonizing pain so… don't do it" Thyra's mouth twitched at the laid back explanation, she then calmed her mind and walked towards the assassin who was shrieking in pain. "Calm down, think about being loyal to him. Keep muttering, 'I am loyal to him' in your mind and the pain will subside" A few seconds later, the assassin who was rolling all over the floor screaming in pain turned silent as he breathed heavily. Thyra then turned towards assassins and instructed. "Do not take this lightly; do not think about betraying him. This pain is no joke, trust me, I say it from experience" "H-have you suffered from this pain?" An assassin questioned. "I did, and I do not want to go through it again" "…" The assassins turned silent. If even One says that she does not want to go through that pain again… there is no way any one of them would try something funny. Also, that assassin who is now lying on the ground breathing heavily with a pale face ensured their thoughts. "Okay, I do not have much time for all this. C'mon, let's go. Two and Three, you follow me. As for the rest of you, carry on with whatever you were doing. You will get further orders from Two and Three" Nux ordered as he turned around. However, he then stopped and glanced at Eleven, "You too, report what you normally do. Just say everything is fine, don't make them suspicious. Alright?" She nodded in agreement and Nux turned around. "Where are we going?" Thyra questioned. "To deal with Marquees Hardwick of course." Nux replied nonchalantly as he walked out. When he entered here, he had already sensed his presence, so he knew where he was. Thyra and the other two assassins shrugged as well and followed him. In their eyes, Marquees Hardwick was a weakling, an untrained brute without any techniques. They were sure that they could defeat him easily even if they fight one on one, let alone three of them together. Four of them then stepped out as they walked towards Marquees Hardwick's room. Soon, however, they stopped as they looked at the two guards standing in front of his room and Nux questioned. "Do you people know the guards?" "Well, we do but I don't think they will let us in without alerting him first" Two answered. "Meh… too bothersome, wait here, I will deal with them" Nux then casually walked towards the guards and appeared behind them, *Bam* A chop on their necks and… done. The guards didn't even know how they lost consciousness. "D-Did that how it looked like when he f-fought me?" Three questioned as she watched the scene in front of her. She only saw him walking toward the guards, somehow, the guard failed to notice him even though he was right in front of them and he knocked them out. "Y-Yeah" Thyra answered, although she has seen this before, it was still as shocking as ever. "It's ridiculous… he can kill anyone without any effort… He is a perfect assassin" 'Two' muttered as he glanced at Nux in a daze. Nux then deactivated his [Conceal] and then kicked the door open before entering. 'Damn! I always wanted to do this' Nux thought inwardly before he shook his head and smiled. Heath Hardwick, or Marquees Hardwick, who was sleeping calmly was jolted awake and his eyes widened when he saw a man wearing black clothes, with his face covered standing right in front of him. 'An assassin' His heartbeat quickened when he realized that the man was an assassin, however, he calmed down a little when he noticed three more familiar assassins entering the room behind him. "Heath Hardwick, are you willing to be my slave?" Suddenly, the unfamiliar assassin questioned. "W-What?" Heath felt that he had heard him wrong and questioned. "What? Are you deaf or something? I will ask you again, are you willing to be my slave?" The man repeated, this time his tone was a lot stricter than before. However, instead of getting afraid, Heath's eyes turned cold as he roared. "Who do you think you are!?" Then without any warning, he took out his 4-star sword and attacked. The three assassins rejoiced inwardly when they noticed that Nux hasn't ordered them to defend him. They were hoping that he would get killed by Heath so that they could be free. Nux of course, did not know their thoughts, if he wanted, he could have directly activated [Conceal] and have dealt with Heath as he did with Alger, but he wanted to take this opportunity to show his strength to his new slaves. *Clank* Just as Heath thought he will cut his head off, a green-black coloured dagger appeared in Nux's hand as he blocked his attack. "Meh… weak." Nux then forced his sword back before slashing Heath's arm, leaving a deep cut there. The dagger's paralysis effect triggered and Heath's entire right hand turned numb within seconds. "T-This dagger!" "Yeah, that's your boyfriend's. Oh right, he is also my slave, so you can enjoy his company after you become one as well" *Bam* *Smash* He then kicked Heath's chest and his body flew back before clashing with a wall. One, Two, and Three, who were looking at this scene had wide eyes… What is happening? How is the defeating a Grand Master Stage Cultivator even though he is just a Master Stage Cultivator? And why does it feel so effortless? Heck, he hasn't even used the ability where he turns invisible! Marquees Heath could see him very well! That means he is still holding back! What kind of monster is he!? "Alright, let's not waste more time, Heath Hardwick, are you willing to become my Slave?" Nux did not seem to care about what these assassins were thinking, he casually walked towards Heath as he placed his foot on his head and questioned. Heath then raised his head as he glared at Nux and replied. "In your drea- Ugghh!" Before he could even complete it, Nux kicked his head as if it was a football. "Hmm, it feels like your willpower is stronger than Alger's, he submitted when he lost 3 fingers, I don't know if that was cowardly or smart… But let's see how many fingers would I have to cut off before you submit. This should be an interesting experiment..." A small smile appeared on Nux's face.
