Reincarnated With The Undefeated System

And Ethan wasn't bothered at all, in fact, he was even thankful to them for at least helping him search for Aiden while neglecting other things they were supposed to do...they did their best.

..They needed to attend to other things, Ethan understood that and was thankful.

Now, it was only a few warriors and knights left helping with the search for Aiden little by little. And Ethan appreciated that they were still helping him out.

******

Things were getting risky now, natives of the Tuvalon Kingdom were really serious about finding out where Aiden was...those that cared.

Asher had discerned this, and he knew if he doesn't take time, they might discover the old edifice where Aiden was in after entering the forest.

Yes, the assassins were doing a really great job keeping people out of the forest, the path that would lead to the mini old edifice where Aiden was in. But the assassins wouldn't be there all the time?

For example, at nighttime, they would surely leave that place. What if that's when someone enters the forest, locates the edifice, and sees Aiden? What would help him is that Aiden never saw his face 'cause he always wore mask whenever he visited Aiden.

So Aiden wouldn't be able to reveal to the people of the Tuvalon Kingdom who captured him 'cause he never saw the person's face.

But Asher felt the situation was getting too dangerous. According to what the assassins told him, there were lots of times when people wanted to enter the forest. And as of this moment, he had decided on something...

..It was about time to kill Aiden.

It was noon currently, and Asher planned on heading to where the assassins were to tell them what his next plan was...it was about time to end Aiden's life. So as fast as possible, he had already prepared and stepped out of his house.

He told none of his guards to follow him, he was gonna ride a horse alone to his destination...he's been doing this for some time now, and they've noticed it. He mounted a horse and rode it straight to where the assassins were.

Now, he met only two of the assassins when he reached there, the others were doing their jobs of roaming close to the forest where Aiden was in. Asher paid them handsomely, so they were doing their jobs with zeal.

Reaching there and meeting the assassins, Asher didn't waste time dropping the bombshell.

"I want you guys to end Aiden's life today, you can do it this evening, and you have to be very cautious, inform the others about it. About three of you can carry out the job. And after killing him, I want you guys to put his body where people can see it. And that's all".

"Are you sure you want this?". One of the assassins inquired of Asher.

"Yes, I want this, you must end his life today. Make sure he doesn't still see your faces while killing him. And as I said, three of you can carry out the job. Maybe after one has done the job of ending his life, the other two can carry out the task of carrying his body and dropping it where people can see it".

..Asher had spoken, they would have to do as he said.

They did nothing more than nod their heads to his statement.

At the Dankworth house, it hadn't been too long since Ethan just arrived home from the usual searching around for Aiden. But it was to no avail, they didn't find Aiden as usual.

But something was making his and his family's hearts a little glad. At least, people of the Tuvalon Kingdom were also searching for Aiden. Many of them were doing it 'cause of the rewards, but Ethan didn't care.

..What would make his heart really glad was if one of them could find out where Aiden was.

It was mid-afternoon getting very close to complete evening. Ethan had just arrived on the compound with a horse, he hadn't even entered the house. After parking the horse well and coming down from it, he tied it, then began strolling toward the edifice.

Getting very close to the edifice, someone entered the compound, and Ethan quickly swiveled his head around to see who the person was...it could be someone dangerous.

And he was even with his sword right now, so if it was someone dangerous, he was ready to fight. But the person that was heading toward him right now doesn't look dangerous at all.

It was a man dressed in grey robe, the robe wasn't even looking nice at all...he seemed like a poor person. But though he doesn't look dangerous, Ethan was still cautious and ready to defend himself.

The moment the man reached where Ethan was standing, he voiced out...

"Ethan Dankworth".

'He even knows my name'. That was the thought that ran through Ethan's mind at that moment.

..But well, it shouldn't be much of a surprising thing, he was one of the average-ranked chiefs in this kingdom.

And again, lots of people had already known that his son was missing, so. After calling out his name, the next statement that flowed out of the man's mouth was,

"I know where your son is".

Ethan glanced at him with disbelief on his face, and with a bit of stuttering voice, he uttered,

"W...What did y...you just said?".

"I said I know where your son is". The man repeated.

And at that moment, Emma dashed out of the house. Though she was inside, she heard what the man said. Walking close to the man with her eyes wide open, she voiced out,

"Do you mean what you just said?".

Aiden was still tied to that chair, and he could feel his stomach rumbling, he was hungry. The words that flowed out of his mouth at that moment were,

"What a life".

Glancing at his face, one could easily tell that he was so tired. For days, he had been tied to that chair. For days, he hadn't been completing daily quests. For days, he hadn't seen people's faces apart from the assassins' and the person ordering them which was Asher.

And not like he ever got to see their real faces 'cause they were always wearing masks whenever they came to visit him.

Being tied to that chair for days really sucked, it was so tiring. He had been wearing one clothes for days now, he hadn't been bathing and other things like that...he somehow stunk.

..But what can he do? It wasn't his fault. If only he could untie this rope around him and escape, he would have done so since.

But there was a way, he could untie this rope around him and escape. Remember, the system had been keeping some things from him for some time now, no one knows the reason why.

..Now was the time for the system to reveal those things to him.

Aiden was still sitting down tied to the chair with that tired look on his face when he got the system's notification,

<Host can untie this rope around him and escape>

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

And Aiden was just like, 'What the heck are you talking about?', He didn't say it out though, and he wasn't expecting a reply from the system.

This was the one he said out and was expecting a reply from the system, "Weren't you the one that told me there was no way of untying this rope around me? I've been tied here together with my school bag for days now. So what are you saying?".

<There's a way for you to loosen this rope around you and escape from here>

"So why didn't you tell me that since? Why are you just telling me now? Or did you like it as I was suffering? What if they'd killed me by now?".

The system didn't say much, this was all she said,

<System has its reasons, but system would make sure host doesn't die. Host would just have to follow my instructions to escape from here>

"What is it then? What should I do to loosen this rope around me and escape from here? Would any of the defense skills I've unlocked help?". Aiden inquired, he really wants to get out of this place.

<Host would have to make use of one of the items in his item panel...sword>

And it was at that moment that Aiden came to a realization. Yeah, sword was part of the items in his item panel. And with a sword, he'd be able to cut off this rope around him easily...how come he didn't think of this?

But then, he remembered something...he hadn't purchased any of the items in his item panel, so he hadn't purchased the sword yet.
