Chapter 231 - 231: Picking Up A Gem

The lady seemed to be in a truly bad shape, but she was still alive. Her heart was still beating, even though extremely slow and extremely lightly.

It was quite a surprise to see that her accompanying ladies and Cyclops had all three run after the assassin, leaving her there to recover from the poison alone, but this was a great opportunity for Roy.

Making sure that this wasn't a trap against him, and that those three had truly left in pursuit of the assassin, Roy quickly took off the camouflage from himself and pricked his forefinger.

With the blood coming from his finger then, he started preparing the symbols for his Blood Slave Seal on the poisoned beauty.

Like this not only would he save her through the immunity of his blood, but also turn her into his slave. He felt quite lucky at that moment, he had truly picked up a gem this time.

Not only her known identity, but also her hidden identity were both amazing, and as long as he used her as he should, he would be able to have an assassin organization and a dominion on his hands.

With those thoughts in his mind, he quickly finished the seal as his blood started to be sucked like a sponge from the poisoned woman lying below him.

In the condition she was, it was already extremely difficult to keep herself alive, so her resistance against the Blood Slave Seal was inexistent.

Even before she could understand what had happened, she could feel that her body had been taken over, and what was more surprising the moment that it happened, the poison started to disperse.

It was just like someone had given her a powerful antidote that rendered all kinds of poisons useless.

Shocked by that sensation, she couldn't help but open her eyes and have a look at the face of her benefactor, and new Master.

She felt really complicated at that moment, she didn't know whether to feel happy she was still alive, or dig this guy's heart out, and kill him due to what he had done to her.

Unfortunately, there was no sign of the guy or his face. He looked like he had disappeared into thin air, even though she could feel that he was really close due to their connection.

"Don't bother searching for me, you will never be able to find me the way you are now!"

As she was thinking about how to find him, his voice rang through her ears, but she was still unable to find him, or his position.

"Who are you!? What do you want from me? Do you know who I am? Why did you do something like this?"

"One question at a time beauty!

First, I am your Master and your new Lord. From now on you will do whatever I tell you to, whenever I tell you to.

If I say east you shouldn't even dare to think of going west! I think this answers your second question as well!

Second, I know perfectly who you are! Whether is your known identity, or your hidden one. After all, that assassin beauty said everything already.

Thirdly, who would ever refuse or reject such a tasty and helpful meal like yourself!

Are you satisfied with these answers!?"

After all this, it was practically impossible for her to not have found his location, but she still couldn't help but get stupefied at the fact that she wouldn't be able to find him normally.

To be more specific she had only pinpointed his shape, and existence, but not his presence, she was still unable to see through his stealth method.

If it weren't for this room being small and her 'sense area' developed beyond her level, she would have never found even that.

The moment she had found his location she had thought about jumping towards him and trying to kill him, but immediately her whole body started feeling like she was being shredded to pieces.

With her knowledge and intelligence, she was able to easily pinpoint that she had been cast with a Blood Slave Seal and that it was impossible for her to escape this time.

With the current situation like this, she had no other choice but to accept defeat, and say,

"Yes, I am!"

"Very well, I am glad that you are, because these are your last and only questions! From now on, I want to only hear confirmation sounds from you!

And just to put this out there, I don't like people being too smart for their own good!"

The moment that he said that last line, Roy even spread his killing intent in the room, together with a slight activation of the Blood Slave Seal to make sure that his message was sent through.

The poor woman couldn't do anything else but to kneel on the floor, and say in a hurry,

"Arrghhh~! I understand Master, I understand!"

"Very well, I knew you would! Now, make sure to deal with those idiots coming here, and meet me outside the city walls, in an hour!

A friendly reminder though, if they truly didn't want you to die, they wouldn't have gone all three after the assassin!"

With that said, Roy pretended to leave the room, while staying in a faraway corner, checking what she would do.

The woman clearly didn't believe his last words, as she sat down to stabilize her situation, and check the surroundings as well.

Since he had already been once through this, Roy was able to easily avoid detection this time, and just waited there for the two women, and Cyclops to come back.

It didn't take them long to return, and even though they were in tatters, they didn't seem to have suffered through heavy injuries.

The moment that they entered inside though, their initial shock at seeing their Master alive and well, couldn't escape either Roy's or the woman's eyes.

But she didn't give herself in the least, as she just waited for their next action, clearly ready to fight at any moment.

The trio in front of her seemed to be ready for battle as well, as even if she wasn't dead she should have been heavily worn out.

The three of them were actually calculating their chances of victory, and the look on her face made them extremely reluctant.

Since they had served her for so long, they were probably the people that knew her best, and that look on her face wasn't the look of her being at death's door.

"Mistress are you okay!? Did you manage to detoxify the poison?"

"Yes, I have fully detoxified the poison! What about the assassin!?"

"We tried our best Mistress but that bi*tch managed to escape after being heavily injured. We didn't dare to continue following her in fear of a trap, and your condition!"

"Hmm~! You did well! Now tell me how much did they give you, and why!"

"Mistress what do you me… They said that the Fog House would belong to us, and they would help us reach peak Rank 5!"

"All three of you were in this together?"

"Yes Mistress, though it was Cyclops who approached us first! We agreed only after seeing the great conditions. After all, we are tired and unwilling of being just servant girls used for your benefit!"

"Hoho~! You seem to have grown beyond the pond I offer you, huh!? Too bad that you don't have the capacity to go beyond that!"

Still, she didn't kill them right away, instead, she looked around the room, and then said in a low but clear voice,

"I am sure that you don't want them dead, do you, Master!?"

"Hoho~! You seem quite sharp beauty, and I think it's meaningless for me to hide any longer!"

With that said, Roy undid his camouflage and appeared at a corner of the room, completely shocking everyone present, especially Cyclops.

How could the brat that was supposed to be in a vegetative state suddenly appear in his own house, without him even sensing him, and what's more his Master called him Master.

Just what the hell was going on there?

It was impossible for him to make sense of the current situation. While the woman in charge only looked at him in startle and surprise.

After all, Roy turned out to be younger, and more well endowed than she had thought. His little soldier seemed like a scary opponent even as he was asleep.

"You… How could it be you!?"

Cyclops was unable to control himself and his mouth at that moment, while Roy just smiled gently and said in a calm and cool voice,

"Hi there Cyclops, it has been a while since we last met, right?"

"For Cyclops to react like that, you certainly aren't a normal person 'Master' but I think that I know all the unusual people around here, and yet I don't know you!"

Roy was satisfied with the woman for actually asking him, and not Cyclops about his identity, this showed that she knew how to read and adapt to the situation, but he didn't show it as he said,

"Well certainly I am a bit unusual, but I don't think that people know me enough to attract your attention!

After all, who would care for a vegetative idiot that appeared recently in the City!"

With those two hints, it would be stupid if the woman didn't understand his identity, as she couldn't help but say,

"You truly know how to disguise yourself! I must say that I never thought that you would be so good!"

"That's a great compliment my beautiful new slave, Lady Kate!"
