——(What does this mean?)

Albert stopped in his tracks. Although his mind told him that the boy must be deliberately mysterious, he could not help but pay attention to the risks implied in the boy's words.

When it comes to the outcome of "dying together", Albert immediately thinks of his second-level skill:

"Together we go to Hades."

6.7 - Eloquent (Second Update)

——(Impossible... How could such a coincidence happen in this world?)

If the boy was just an archer-type combat profession, Albert would never believe such nonsense.

However, not long ago, Albert had just made a judgment. He believed that the boy's combat profession was either a swordsman or an assassin, and the longbow on his back was just a disguise.

If this young man's combat career development path happened to be the same as his own, then it was indeed possible for him to master similar skills - Albert thought so.

"You lowly fellow, you even need to draft your lies. Do you think you can fight me to the death?"

Albert pretended to raise his sword again, intending to suppress the boy's spirit and make him reveal a flaw.

If you make up a lie on the spot, there will definitely be mistakes due to tension and fear.

But the boy's subsequent actions and words made Albert even more shaken.

"Hey~ Can you please stop treating me as an enemy? Let me tell you, we are in the same boat now. You will understand if you just listen to me."

As the boy spoke, he took off the bow from his back and put it on the ground to show his sincerity. Then he asked Albert a question.

"Albert, do you know my name?"

Albert was stunned. He really didn't know the boy's name.

The commission information given to him by Mayor Gillian only contained the description "black-clad archers located in the control area of ​​the Trial Gate in the western suburbs."

Because Albert was only there to kill people for fun, he didn't care about such details at all.

Seeing Albert was stunned, the boy continued.

"See, you don't know. You're the one who came to kill me, but you don't know my name. On the contrary, I know your identity very well. Don't you find it strange?"

"You know my identity so well? Don't be ridiculous..."

"Your position is Chief Attendant, and the master you serve is the youngest daughter of the Scarlet Scarlet family, Viviana Scarlet Scarlet, known as the 'Silver Young Queen Bee'—am I right, Albert?"

Before Albert could finish his words, the boy blocked his mouth with an accurate answer.

Now, Albert was a little shocked, because the Feiqi family never disclosed the internal personnel situation to the outside world, and few people outside knew about Albert's identity.

——(Who is this boy…?!)

"Don't try to trick me. I don't understand what you're saying. If you have something to say, just say it!"

Albert suppressed his inner uneasiness. How could he, a 56-year-old man, be fooled by such a young person?

"Okay, okay, okay, don't be angry. I'm just trying to gain your trust."

The boy shook his head, looking as if he was also aggrieved.

Then, the boy spoke again, and this time what he said completely shook Albert's will to act this time.

"Then I'll be frank. You were deceived by Mayor Gillian. It's you, not me, whose life was bought."

Albert frowned. What nonsense was this young man talking about? He couldn't even figure out who was killing whom in the current situation?

However, after the boy's detailed explanation, Albert realized that he might be the one who didn't understand the situation.

The boy told Albert that someone wanted to buy his life. The client was said to be from the Feiqi family, but the boy didn't know his specific name.

After all, Albert was the chief attendant, and a third-level master who specialized in combat. If they killed him by force, it would inevitably cause unnecessary commotion, so they designed a trap.

The mastermind behind the scenes seemed to know Albert's character very well. He knew that he secretly liked killing and liked to immerse himself in the thrill of intense and exciting battles. So he found the mayor of Sunny Town and asked him to spend a large sum of money to hire Albert to help him kill people.

If Albert accepted the commission, it would be considered a private job, and this kind of thing must never be known to others. Then, Albert would come to Sunny Town alone.

As long as Albert is alone, the rest will be easy.

"Albert, think about it. If you died here tonight and your body was disposed of perfectly, who would know you died here? They would just think you disappeared or left without saying goodbye, right?"

The young man stared at Albert with a gloomy look, which made him feel uneasy.

It has to be said that what the boy said was flawless and sounded like the truth, which made Albert think about who the mastermind behind the scenes might be.

——(Who wants to kill me? Is it the Second Young Lady who is at odds with my Lord? Or the Eldest Young Master who I offended before? Or…)

As he was thinking, Albert suddenly noticed a loophole, which made him wake up immediately.

"You little brat, didn't your parents teach you that you can't start a story with a bang but not finish it? If what you said is true, how can you kill me?"

The boy smiled, as if he had guessed that Albert would ask this.

"They really should have sent stronger people, but they couldn't bear to do so because they knew that anyone who came to kill you would be dragged down with you by your skills."

The boy's words hit Albert like a bolt of thunder.

The fact that the boy could say this meant that Albert's deepest secret had been betrayed by the three adults.

"What are you talking about? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Albert gritted his teeth and struggled to maintain the last bit of composure. He still held on to the hope that the boy was just trying to trick him.

Unfortunately, the boy's next words completely shattered his pitiful hope.

"Hey, Albert, do I really have to explain it so clearly? They're afraid of your second-level skill, 'Together in Hades'!"

At this point, Albert's heart completely collapsed.

·

The skill of "Going to Hades Together" is the deepest secret in Albert's heart.

Even his master Viviana didn't know about this skill.

In this world, apart from Albert himself, the only people who knew that he possessed this skill were Lord Scarlet, Elder Rodrigo of the Hell, and Elder Augusto of the Darkness, a total of three people.

Back then, he was appointed Viviana's chief attendant because of this skill - with the effect of "Go to Hades Together", as long as the enemy he encountered was below level four, Albert could forcibly exchange his life for another to protect Viviana's safety.

When he was in Goode Town before, Albert had always been puzzled as to why the Red and Black Elders did not allow him to go with Viviana to the battlefield this time.

[The above image is from "4.2 - A Chance to Return to the Battlefield"]

Now Albert understood that it was to make it easier to get rid of him.

Viviana is so kind, if she knew, she would definitely stop it... That's why the Red and Black Elders deliberately separated the master and servant.

——(O Chiki Family… I’m so loyal to you…!)

——(Now I’m useless, you think I know too much, you want to get rid of me, right…!)

——(You shameless bastards!!!)

Albert was furious, and his hand holding the sword was shaking violently. He would never let the Feiqi family kill him like this!

"Untouchable...thank you for telling me this...now you can go and die...!"

Albert's eyes were bloodshot and filled with murderous intent. His furious emotions had made his logical thinking somewhat confused.

At this moment, the young man gave Albert a reminder in an extremely resentful tone, which poured cold water on his murderous intention.

6.8 - Mistakenly Gave My True Heart (Part )

"Have you forgotten, Albert? I am just as miserable as you... If you kill me, you won't be able to survive either."

The boy's words sobered the furious Albert instantly.

Albert remembered that the young man had made it clear to him at the very beginning.

"Are you so afraid of talking to me? Are you afraid of losing to me? Humph, let me be honest with you. There's really no way you can beat me, because we'll just die together."

At that time, Albert just thought that the boy was bluffing, but now, he had to seriously consider this possibility.

Seeing that Albert had regained his composure, the boy continued speaking.

"Do you remember what I told you? We are in the same boat now. We can either win or lose. It all depends on your choice."

After expressing his stance, the young man even sat down on the spot with many flaws, looking relaxed as if there was no way he could fight Albert anymore.

The boy honestly told Albert that his real combat profession was called "Witch Swordsman" and his second-level skill was "Hell's Traveling Companion". While the skill was active, as long as the opponent's level difference was no more than two levels, once the opponent killed him, his opponent would also die at the moment of the boy's death.

"My combat class is level two, Albert. You can't be level five, right? If you are level five, then I have nothing to say. Kill me if you want."

The young man spread his hands, looking confident that Albert could never be at the fifth level.

Albert was silent. He knew that the boy had the capital to be confident because he even knew the skill of "Going to the Underworld Together". Then how could he keep the fact that his combat profession was at the third level a secret?

Moreover, Albert now felt a strong sense of frustration. Although both were second-level skills, his "Travel to Hades Together" was not even as good as the young man's "Travel Companion in Hell"!

Albert's "Together to Hades" has stricter restrictions. First of all, its target can only be the last person who has caused damage to him, so Albert must first endure damage once and not die before he can activate the skill.

Secondly, the range of "Together to Hades" is only five meters. If the enemy runs five meters before the skill is activated, Albert will be helpless.

Finally, the class range of "Together in the Underworld" can only reach one level higher than Albert, while the boy's "Traveling Companion in Hell" can reach three levels higher? This is outrageous!

Compared with "Traveling Companions in Hell", "Traveling Together to Hades" has absolutely no value in existence!

——(Wait... Albert, don't jump to conclusions so easily...)

——(This boy is probably exaggerating the effects of his skills in order to survive...)

Albert's reason and experience pulled him out of his frustration. However, at this time he basically believed what the boy said and only thought that he was exaggerating, not lying.

Albert was thinking in his heart, indeed, if they sent a third or fourth level person to kill him, one life for another, it would be a huge loss for the Feiqi family.

And if you want to mobilize a fifth-level strongman, it will definitely attract the attention of other forces.

From this point of view, finding this second-level enemy of the same type to exchange one for one with myself is really a good deal.

"If I kill you, we'll both lose... so how can we both win?"

At this point in the conversation, Albert relaxed for the first time.

His words were equivalent to acknowledging that everything the boy had just said was true.

The boy smiled and gave Albert a plan.

"It's simple. After tonight, we both disappear under different names. This way, the Feiqi family will think we're both dead... If you have a way, then get two more corpses of similar size to us, dress them in our clothes and equipment, and then lure some wild animals to eat them. That way, it will be perfect."

Albert could tell that the boy's plan was well thought out.

If you don't think it through in advance, it would be impossible to come up with such a perfect idea on the spur of the moment.

Albert believed that the boy had probably considered this step before accepting the commission, but... he still had a question.

"Since you know you will die, why do you still accept this kind of commission?"

If the boy cannot answer this question, Albert will withdraw all his trust in him.

Hearing this question, the boy's smile suddenly turned bitter. He lowered his eyes and shook his head, then gave an answer.

"Ah... it's all about money. I used to have three sisters, but now I only have one left, and I'm in dire need of money for medical treatment. A lot of money... I think God gave me this skill to tell me to trade my life for money, haha."

Although the boy was laughing, Albert felt that he was crying.

At this moment, Albert's heart was touched by the boy.

He never thought that one day he would empathize with a pariah, but just now, the boy's figure overlapped with Albert's back then.

"Humph, pariahs are pariahs... Go away and don't let me see you again. I'll take care of the corpse."

Albert agreed to the boy's plan, which would only benefit him and not harm him.

The boy nodded, kicked the longbow on the ground to Albert, and turned away.
