The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World
Chapter 188 - 188 - Jealous?

As Thorin announced that it was time to reveal the top three of this tournament, everyone was listening attentively, wondering who could it be.

Would it be the Reaper, someone who wasn't even part of a founding family?

Or would it be the same as all the past years, someone from a founding family?

Well, most thought that it would be the same as in the past years, however, the crowd would always support the underdog which was exactly what was happening right now.

Many people were shouting Aiden's nickname out loud, completely changing the attitude they had at the start of the tournament.

"The Reaper!"

"The Reaper!"

"The Reaper!"

Those shouts resounded everywhere inside the Arena, and Aiden couldn't help but smile when hearing people cheering him on, it just felt good to feel supported and not hated.

He didn't mind being hated, but it was always a better feeling to be loved.

"Oh, I see the crowd is changing sides. They seem to be hoping to have the underdog win this whole thing," said Thorin, with a smile on his face.

"Well, would The Reaper be first place, third place, or even second?" exclaimed Thorin, as he wanted to keep the mystery around this whole thing.

However, Melinda who was right beside him could only scoff as she was almost sure that he had won, he had killed Lucius in his trial. There was simply no way that he wouldn't be first.

Nonetheless, she didn't have access to the Rankings, since it had been Thorin and him only who had gotten it from the system.

"Alright, enough time wasted. Innnnn third place is someone who's from the... Valandis Family!" shouted Thorin.

The crowd continued to shout Aiden's nickname even louder, as they seemed relieved that he hadn't been named yet.

Aiden was now assured a place in the top 2, which was something that no one had seen coming.

Especially, when the son of the Nightshade Patriarch had participated and had been announced as the victor before the tournament had even started.

Maybe he would have won if the winner wasn't the one who had performed best in a trial, but at last, that's how the tournament was set up this time.

"Isolde Valandis is third in the Inter Family tournament," shouted Thorin, announcing it once again, this time, naming her.

Aiden hearing this started to look around him, trying to spot who that person was, as he was quite interested in it, obviously.

Then, as Aiden continued to look around, it seemed that Thorin wanted to facilitate his task.

"Isolde, please come up to the stage," continued Thorin.

After Thorin, announced that she needed to come on stage, someone listened and started moving towards it.

Aiden took this chance to observe the beautiful elf that was coming onto the stage.

She had a slender body with almost no visible muscles on it, however, it was obvious that she had trained hard in her life, and that training simply hadn't been physical.

After looking at Isolde, Aiden moved up his eyes looking at her face which was incredibly beautiful without any imperfections.

She also had her spiky ears on both sides of her head, which made her even more beautiful if Aiden were to be honest.

In fact, if one took a quick glance between Emma and Isolde, they probably wouldn't be able to differentiate them.

In the stands, while Isolde started walking up the stage, Emma was observing every single movement coming from Aiden or rather the Reaper as that was the only thing that she could hear right now.

'That's right, now you support him, huh?' thought Emma, clearly unhappy with how fake the people in the crowd were.

First, they had booed him for a long time, insulting him. But it seemed that they had all forgotten now, cheering him on. She was disgusted.

But, then all those thoughts were dismissed when she saw that Aiden was watching Isolde, the third-place winner, with a lot of attention following her every movement.

'Why is he looking at her like that? Does he like her? Does he find her beautiful?' thought Emma, clearly jealous of the attention that Isolde was currently receiving from Aiden.

'Does he look at me like that too?' thought Emma, blushing.

Her mother, Maelis, who was right beside her, noticed this and couldn't help but comment on it.

"What's happening to you, Emma? Why are you so red?" asked Maelis, this time, truly not knowing the reason.

She thought that Emma might be sick or something similar, so she was quite worried about her.

Emma, hearing that question from her mother, became even more red, thinking that she was currently teasing her.

"Nothing Mom, nothing," mumbled Emma, as she kept looking at Aiden who had his mask on his face.

She noticed that he was still watching the girl with all of his attention, moving his head up and down.

'Stop looking at her body, stupid. You already have me to look at,' thought Emma, clearly unhappy that she couldn't be down there to keep his eyes away from her.

Then, as she saw that scene, he couldn't help but remember Olivia.

She remembered that Aiden and she would be going to her high-level family. She didn't want to, but Aiden had accepted, and she didn't want to leave him alone with that whore.

Who knew what she would do when alone with Aiden? In Emma's mind, she was sure that Isolde would force herself onto him.

Emma wasn't sure, but she knew that something would happen and Aiden probably wouldn't have the guts to stop it, or even worse, he wouldn't refuse her advances.

That's why it was essential for her to accompany him there, it was really important.

However, all this was happening in Emma's mind, none of this would even happen.

"Then, do you think Aiden will win the tournament?" she said, whispering, as she didn't want to reveal Aiden's real name.

Emma, hearing this, giggled, finding that question ridiculous.

"Of course, he will! Who do you take him for? Lucius isn't even in the competition anymore, there's no way that he's going to lose," said Emma with absolute confidence.
