"So, number Four, Five, Six, are you willing to be my slaves?"

Although they felt that the smile he had on his face while he questioned was a little uncomfortable, the three assassins' thoughts were too clouded with a chance to get out of here alive and did not think too much about this minor detail.

"We are"

[Slaves: Nash Reve, Lona Wilk, Aldora Horne, Ash Winterr]

A big smile appeared on Nux's face when he saw their names on his Slave section.

The three assassins felt a peculiar power entering their body, then their eyes fell on Nux's devilishly charming and wicked smile before they felt something was wrong.

This man doesn't look like he is this Naïve and dumb…

He can't possibly let them go like this…

Just as Ash was about to question Nux, his voice sounded.

"Alright, let's call your partner back as well"

With that, he activated the telepathy skill the [Slave Seal] had and called.

'Nash, return.'

With just two words, Nash, who was running back to the Bannermane house stopped.

'What?'

Nash's eyes widened in horror when he realized his body had started running back to Felberta's Mansion.

He then remembered the voice that echoed in his mind and his body trembled.

'W-What has he done to me?'

A few minutes later, Nash returned and stood beside the 3 assassins.

"Good"

When Nash returned, her fear and uncertain feeling exploded. She knew something was wrong.

She was sure of it now!

That deal was too good to be true!

However, it was already too late.

"What have you done to us!?" Ash questioned in panic and horror.

"Hmm? Nothing?" Nux replied with a confused look.

"Nothing!? Then why is Seven back!?"

"Because I called him? Isn't a slave supposed to listen to whatever his master said?"

"Then how did you contact him when he was so far away!?"

"H-His voice sounded in my h-head…" This time, it was Nash who replied.

Ash and the other assassins' eyes widened in surprise, they don't know what was happening, but they knew it was bad.

"AAhhgghhhh!!"

Suddenly, Ash screamed in pain as she fell on her knees.

"W-What happened!?" Lona questioned in panic.

One had to know that they have been through intense torture and were used to it. So she knew that Ash would never scream like that…

"What did you do to her!?" She then questioned as she glared at Nux who was looking at everything with a curious look.

Actually, even he was surprised when he heard her screaming but he soon realized what happened.

"I think she was having thoughts about betraying me, her master"

Nux replied.

"This isn't the time to jo-"

"AAGGHHhhhhhh!!!"

Lona wanted to continue but suddenly, Ash's screams turned louder as she clenched her head tightly and she rolled on the ground.

"S-Stop i-it! I am b-begging you!! I'll do anything you say!!" Ash begged in a hoarse voice.

The pain was too much for her to bear, and she could feel that it was increasing without any signs of stopping.

Lona and the other assassins' eyes widened when they heard her.

She's begging?

Is the pain that intense?

Their body shuddered in fear.

Even Nux felt a little weird seeing her rolling and begging like that, however, he still kept a tough front as he answered.

"Stop thinking about going against me and it will end"

This time, Ash took his words seriously, she quickly got rid of her thoughts about attacking him and muttered continuously.

'I am loyal to him'

'I am loyal to him'

'I am loyal to him'

'I am loyal to him'

This worked seemed to have worked as soon, she felt the pain subsiding before it faded away.

"Haah… Haah… Haah…"

Ash lay on the ground, breathing heavily.

She didn't want to experience that again… never.

"T-Thank you… Master…"

She then glanced at Nux as she crawled towards his feet and placed her forehead on his shoes.

Nux frowned when he saw her acting like that, he wanted to step back but Felberta placed her hand on his back secretly.

He glanced at her and saw her shaking her head.

Nux nodded and stood where he was.

"Good"

"W-What did you d-do to us?"

Seeing What Ash was doing, Lona knew the pain she experienced was a lot stronger than they thought and questioned. This time, however, her tone was a tamer than before.

"As I said, I did nothing, it is you guys who agree to become my slaves. Remember, I can see through your thoughts, the moment you guys think about betraying me, I'll make sure you suffer the pain far worse than you can ever imagine and the pain would keep increasing till you throw that thought out of your mind

In other words, do what I tell you to do, be obedient, and you won't face any problems. Is that clear?"

Nux replied and then questioned.

"Yes"

"That's yes Master for you"

"Yes M-Master"

"Ash, now stand up"

No matter how tired she was as if his command was a divine order, Ash's body stood up and stood beside the other assassins.

Seeing the four Master Stage Slaves standing in front of him, Nux smiled in contentment.

These weren't normal Master Stage Cultivators, they were the strongest of the batch. With them, he can easily defeat an Earl House without even doing anything.

However, this time, his target wasn't a mere Earl House…

His eyes then turned cold before he glanced at the assassins and questioned.

"Tell me everything you know about the Bannermane and Hardwick house."
