'Haaah… that bastard… I need to get stronger in order to fight hi-' A browed haired man walked into his own room as he pondered about recent events that had happened, however, soon, his eyes fell on a masked man sitting on his sofa with a leisurely smile on his face and he froze. "Who are you?" The man questioned with a frown on his face. "Your reaction is pretty calm." The masked man replied. "Who are you?" The man, however, just repeated his question. "I am the woman of your dreams, I decided to sneak into your room because of how handsome you are. The fuck do you mean who I am? Black Clothes, Mask on the face, can't you connect the dots?" "…" The man didn't say anything and just took out his weapon. "Are you not going to call anyone for help?" The masked man frowned. "They won't hear me anyway." "How did you know?" The masked man was genuinely surprised. However, instead of answering, the man just dashed toward him. "To think you would be this carefree in front of me when both you are I are Emperors! You have already lost your major advantage as an assassin you fool!" he shouted. Soon, however, the man's vision blurred. The masked man sitting in front of him disappeared, but before he could react to it, his world turned upside down. The man realized it. He was beheaded. 'Y-You wouldn't be able to get away…' Those were the man's last thoughts when he realized that he was about to die. "Well, I guess he was the last one." The masked man shrugged as if nothing had happened. Then, he waved his hand, a Portal appeared in front of him, the masked man walked into the portal and the portal disappeared. 'H-How…' The man who witnessed this scene couldn't believe himself, however, he was too weak to do anything, his time was up. In the end, using his last strand of energy, he closed his eyes, and the grim reaper took his soul away. "Took you a long time." Thyra, who was inside the [Core] spoke as Nux walked out of the Portal. "That man came into his room later than I expected." "Heh, stop lying, I am you were trying to have useless conversations." "…" Nux turned silent. "Nux, I told you, an Assas-" "An Assassin should not talk to his target and should get rid of him before the target even realizes what hit him. I know, I just… I can at least say a little hello, can't I? That's basic manners." "Basic Manners!? You are there to kill him!! You think he will offer you a cup of tea!?" "Might as well be polite to the last person you would see." Nux pouted. "…" Thyra didn't know what to say. "Anyways, I will go take new Missions from the Assassin Hall." She just decided to change the topic. "So soon?" "I need to increase our rank. The 6 Leaders of the Shadow Unit have all become Emperors, we can make use of them and others. I plan to send 5 Emperors to assassinate one. There is no way the target could get away if 5 Emperors just randomly appeared right in front of him." "Heh, you are abusing [Core] huh? You even permitted them to enter." "They all are marked with Slave Seals, so it shouldn't matter," Thyra replied. "Do what you want, my love." Nux kissed Thyra's forehead. Thyra smiled, then, a portal appeared behind her and she disappeared. Nux, who was left alone sighed, then, a Portal appeared in front of him and he walked in. "Melia, my favorite vampire~" He called out, hoping to see an interesting reaction, however, to his surprise, Melia suddenly rushed towards him and, *Bam* She pushed him to the wall, with one of her hands near his head, not allowing him to get away. Melia then brought her face dangerously close to Nux and continued to look into his eyes. A minute passed by. Nothing happened. "So uhhh… what are you doing?" Nux, who had been looking into Melia's eyes for a while now finally decided to question. Melia, who had an expressionless look on her face frowned. Nux didn't act like she expected him to. Where was the embarrassed look that Allura was talking about? Was she doing it wrong? No, that can't be, she has been practicing it for a long time. She even used the [Core]'s time difference to perfect it. Melia started thinking. However, suddenly, her eyes widened in surprise and Nux's hand touched her lower back. "You didn't answer my question, Melia," Nux questioned with a curious smile on his face. "Is this your way of telling me that you fell in love with me and are willing to be my wife? That was faster than I expected. Not that I am complaining, of course." "N-N-No! T-That's not it!" Melia replied. She didn't have any intention like that. "Oh? So what were you trying to do? Seduce me?" "A-Allura told me that I would get to see your embarrassed expression- Ahh!" Melia replied but then suddenly, Nux pulled her close to him. The prey had directly come to the predator, he would curse himself for the rest of his life if he didn't take advantage of this situation. "So you wanted to see my embarrassed expression?" Nux whispered into Melia's ears. Melia tried to move away from him, however, for some reason, she couldn't gather much strength. Then suddenly, the ring on Nux's finger shined and a Mirror appeared in front of them. "Is that the embarrassed look on were talking about?" Nux questioned as he glanced at the mirror. "!!!" Melia's eyes widened in surprise as her eyes fell on the mirror. The way Nux was holding her waist, the distance between them, how Nux's chin was on her shoulder, how his body was unbelievably close to hers, how… how unbelievably red her face was… Melia couldn't believe that the woman in the mirror was her reflection. When had she shown an expression like that!? "You look beautiful," Nux commented in a seductive voice. Melia, who finally came out of her reverie, realized what position she was in. "!!!" She soon pushed herself and distanced herself from Nux. Nux, however, appeared in front of her and smiled, "You aren't planning on running away, are you?"
