The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1458 "Yes?" Denning Rose quickly shifted her eyes. "What do you mean..." She slightly furrowed her brow as if she didn't understand. "Calling?" Evelyn clicked her tongue and looked around. "I don't hear anything!" She also wrinkled her nose like Denning Rose, as if she didn't understand. -I can't sense anything either? Wrath also tilted his head, saying he couldn't sense anything. "I can sense it." Raon let out a faint smile. 'Very clearly at that.' The moment he entered Epillan territory and met Denning Rose, death aura bloomed from the lord's mansion. So subtly that only beings with that aura could detect it. In this world, only he and Derus Robert possessed death aura, so it meant that bastard was openly calling him. "It seems Derus Robert knew from the beginning that I would come. No, more than that..." Raon clenched his fists as he recalled Derus Robert's sinister smile. "He might have created this situation just to call me here." The Derus Robert he knew was a schemer who could hide his existence no matter how thoroughly the Black Market searched. For such a person to have his identity exposed this quickly, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he deliberately lured them. "Ah..." Denning Rose bit her lips deeply. "Th-then let's withdraw now. We don't know what kind of trap Derus Robert might have set." She gestured to summon the agents, saying they should escape from Epillan territory right away. "No." Raon shook his head firmly. "If we hadn't come at all, that would be one thing. But since we've come this far, running away isn't an option. And..." He smiled faintly while looking toward where the death aura had emerged. "I also thought this kind of situation might arise. That's why only two of us came." Raon nodded, saying that one of the reasons he came to Epillan with only Evelyn was because of situations like this. "You don't know Raon well. Our Raon never runs away in any situation!" Evelyn clung close to Raon, almost bending at the waist. "Just trust me!" She showed Denning Rose a victorious smile while beating her chest as if she could handle any situation that arose. -You're the scariest one... Wrath shook his head, saying Evelyn was more frightening and scary than any other moment. "Then..." Denning Rose took a short breath. "Yes. I'll go." Raon nodded, saying he would meet Derus Robert like this. "I'll say it again, I absolutely don't want to recommend this." Denning Rose trembled at her fingertips as if worried about Raon. It seemed she was even more concerned because they had come this far because of her. "It's okay. This isn't Denning Rose's fault." Raon waved his hand, saying there was no problem with Denning Rose and the Black Market's investigation. "Th-that's not it..." Denning Rose pursed her lips as if she had more to say. "Enough!" Evelyn pushed Denning Rose away. "Stop holding onto your worries! No one's going to die!" She nodded her chin refreshingly as if she had been waiting for this kind of situation. -What's with that crazy woman? She usually only says weird things... Wrath clicked his tongue while looking at Evelyn like that. -Today she's only saying things I like. She's become a good crazy woman! The guy opened his mouth wide, saying he really liked today's Evelyn. 'What's a good crazy woman supposed to be.' Raon chuckled and approached Denning Rose. "Haa..." Even after hearing Evelyn's words, Denning Rose's hardened expression didn't soften, as if she was still worried. "Then let's go together." Raon smiled faintly and extended his hand to Denning Rose as well. "Yes?" Denning Rose opened her eyes wide when she saw Raon's extended hand. "M-me too?" She opened her mouth wide as if she had never thought Raon would call her. "Raon! Why are you bringing that baggage!" Evelyn wrinkled her nose while looking at Denning Rose. "To find Derus Robert, we need to know what kind of person Derus Robert is. Seeing him directly will also be helpful." Raon nodded calmly. "Ah!" As soon as Denning Rose heard Raon's words, she let out an exclamation. "Ah, I understand!" She bit her lips as if prepared for death and took Raon's hand. "Don't hold hands! You can go, but don't hold hands!" Evelyn used her hand like a knife to separate Raon and Denning Rose's hands, telling them to let go quickly. -Ha... You've really changed a lot too. Wrath blinked blankly while looking at him. -In the past, you would have stopped them even if they said they were going. The guy let out a hollow laugh, saying his personality had completely changed. 'It's not that my personality changed. It's just...' Raon looked at the Epillan lord's house again and gently curved his lips upward. 'I just have confidence.' * * * "Are you really sure it's okay?" Balder approached Karoon while frowning. "No matter how I think about it, sending my nephew... no, the head of house alone doesn't seem right..." He snorted as if he was bothered by sending Raon alone. "He wasn't sent alone." Karoon shook his head calmly. He went with a Magician who is no less than the Mage Tower Master and the Archmage of Eternal Flame." He lowered his hand, saying that Evelyn was beside Raon. "Derus Robert has the ability to nullify magic. We saw it in the last war." Alice clicked her tongue with furrowed brows. "That's right! Magicians are worse than ordinary people if they can't use magic!" Balder raised his hand, saying Alice had made a good point. "I should have gone!" He said it was regrettable and struck the wooden temporary round table with his fist. "The head of house seems to not know his position too well." "Exactly. Now he's not just the head of house, but also the Alliance leader of the Holy Sword Alliance." "If by any chance he goes and gets defeated, it's all over!" "Don't say such unlucky things!" "We're all doing this because we're worried." The executives of Zieghart and the Holy Sword Alliance argued as if they were disappointed that Raon went to Epillan territory with only Evelyn. "It will be fine." Lawrence shook his head calmly. "The magician named Evelyn isn't a fool who would fall for the same thing twice." Unlike his usual anger toward Evelyn, Lawrence took her side. "How do you know that! Magicians are..." "Because I saw it." Lawrence cut off Balder's words like a sword. "Because I saw her researching magic all night, and I directly experienced her asking me for help." He sighed, saying he couldn't sleep for a while because of Raon and Evelyn. "I have the same opinion." Rector nodded calmly. "Neither Raon nor Evelyn will be defeated now. In any situation." He smiled as if he completely trusted Raon and Evelyn. "Your thoughts are similar to mine." Karoon looked at Rector and lowered his chin heavily. "The head of house will not be defeated now. That is..." He flashed sharp blue eyes while looking at the Zieghart emblem hanging in the center of the conference room. "Because that's what the head of house of Zieghart must do." * * * "There really are a lot of vagrants." Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the homeless people who had densely settled along the path to the lord's house. "There are many. The Epillan lord declared that he would provide meals and shelter to war victims." Denning Rose nodded, saying there were bound to be many homeless people. "Thanks to that, people disappearing has become all too common." She lowered her eyebrows, saying it was certain that Derus Robert was taking people away and doing something with them. "Raon would look cool even as a homeless person!" Evelyn smiled as if she had no interest in anything other than Raon and said something unrelated to the topic while grabbing his arm. "Shall we sleep outside together?" She clung even closer, suggesting they take this opportunity to sleep outside. -Ugh... Wrath sighed. -Right. This is how a crazy woman should be... The guy frowned again as if he disliked Evelyn once more. "Later." Raon gently pushed Evelyn away and approached the largest mansion in Epillan territory. "Right now there's something I need to do first." It was when he was walking toward the guard to enter the mansion. "I've been waiting for you." The guard approached first and bowed his head. "Lord Raon Zieghart." The guard smiled while accurately recognizing him despite Raon's disguise. "Hmm..." Denning Rose felt that Raon's words were correct and bit her lips. "Wow! As expected, because he's handsome! They recognize him even when disguised!" Evelyn clapped as if this was a natural result. -Crazy... She's really a crazy woman! Wrath was surprised not by this situation, but by Evelyn's reaction, and let out empty air. "That person is waiting for you." The guard said he would escort them personally and opened the mansion's main gate. "That person..." Raon chuckled without being flustered at all. "Lead the way." He said he would follow and jerked his chin. "Yes." The guard bowed once more, then turned his back and headed toward the mansion. "Let's go." Raon nodded to Denning Rose and Evelyn as if he were coming to his own home and followed the guard. 'It's different from the old mansion.' The Epillan mansion he saw in his past life was an elegant place with the lord's personal touch, but after being burned and rebuilt, it had become a garishly splendid space like a hotel in an entertainment district. 'Well, that Derus bastard always liked this kind of thing.' Derus Robert was praised for being frugal during the time he was called the Sky Sword Saint, but in reality, he was no different from a pig that scraped together wealth behind the scenes. 'He hasn't changed.' When Raon was sneering at Derus Robert, the guard's steps stopped. "This is the place." The guard stood in front of the innermost room on the second floor and turned around. He bowed as if his job ended here and stepped aside. "Certainly..." Raon chuckled while looking at the door made of black wood. "It's his taste." He smiled as if it was amusing and approached forward, opening the door without hesitation. Click. However, inside the room that opened with a clean sound, there was someone different from what Raon expected. "You've come." The person Raon had saved for the first and last time in his past life. The Epillan lord smiled and bowed his head. "Lord Raon."
