Chapter 19: CHAPTER 19 – A Trap?

It took them a while to reach Alex's house and when they reached there, Alice suddenly asked.

"When are you thinking of shifting to the house given by the guild?" Alice smiled as she said that.

She had selected the best house she could find that was near the location of their guild.

"I will move tomorrow since I don't have many things to pack." Alex also replied with a smile and Alice nodded her head.

"Don't forget to come to the guild after your shifting is done." Ann reminded him, that even though he was an Honorary Guild master he should still try to be present at the guild.

"Don't worry I will come by in the afternoon," Alex replied to her and then waved them goodbye as they drove away.

Alex ignored the guys that were now scattered around the area and went to his room. It was just his fourth day in this world including the day he took over the body and he already had a whole Association to fight.

He didn't complain though as the more enemies came his way the stronger he would get.

Alex entered his room and went to the bath, he really liked to bathe. After that was done, he went ahead and cooked something to eat. He was making a simple Italian bean stew, but he stopped midway and then continued as if nothing had happened.

"Do you guys like the spicy food?" he asked without moving his eyes from the dishes. When he was cooking, he felt some people entering his room and he knew who they were, so, he didn't say much and just observed what they wanted to do.

But they had yet to attack, so, he asked them the first question that came to his mind just to show them that he knew that they were in the room.

He heard three sounds of knives being drawn out and sighed, he could see that from the three people who entered two of them were girls and one was very beautiful.

When they were just behind him, he used temporal pause for the first time, and they paused where they were standing.

When he saw the memories, he got from the assassins he was surprised, but it was a welcomed surprise since this world was slowly getting interesting.

There was some kind of ban placed on their memories that they themselves didn't remember the names or faces of their higher-ups, which means there was someone who could manipulate memories or erase memories in this country or there was something entirely different at play here.

Alex had a strong feeling that it was probably the latter, so, he decided to leave the people behind this for now, but he would see how it goes.

For now, he decided to eat and sleep as it was better not to waste his time on something he didn't know.

......

"You didn't hear an explosion? All right, no need to do anything for now, just keep observing him and wait for my instructions."

Inside a dark room at who-knows-where, someone or to be precise a man as that is what it seemed if one looked at his silhouette, was sitting and observing three broken pendants that looked the same as the one Alex saw in the pockets of the Assassins.

"So, they failed huh?" The person who seemed to be a guy from his voice spoke as if talking to the air and then nodded as if getting a reply from someone.

"I know, I was just checking how strong he is right now, but how did he stop the explosion?" Confusion can be heard in his voice, and then he looks at a red-black dagger in his hand.

It was something that helped him very much and allowed him to become what he is now. He held the dagger tightly and looked in the air again and then smiled as if he heard something very pleasant.

"All right, let's not waste our time then." He got up after seemingly replying to the air but if Alex was here, he could have seen something very unique, something that no one other than one man was able to see. As for what it was, let's continue the journey with our hero Ash Ketch- sorry, Alex.
