375 Pick Your Choice

"Boss, are we really going to go and meet him?" Kai asked.

Asher, who had just changed his clothes and now was wearing a white coat, turned and looked at him.

"Is there a problem?" Asher asked as he wore the mask.

Asher's eyes were completely dark black now, revealing everything that could reveal his identity.

Kai hesitated for a bit, but his worries weren't uncalled for.

Unlike Louis Rothschild, who nearly killed them, this time they would meet one of the Seat holders.

Jarell Neville, the Head of the Neville Family, was also an SS Rank Hunter.

Even if he lifted his finger, all of them would be dead.

The risk was simply too much.

"Just act according to the plan," Asher said as the mask changed his voice.

"Ah, Boss, I don't want to stop you, but Jarell Neville is not someone you should meet like this," Dane spoke out.

"Even if you go with your real identity, even that wouldn't be safe either," He added.

"Because of our previous work, we had heard of the rumors about the Neville Family," Dane explained.

"Just follow my plan; no need to overthink about it," Asher said as Dane and Kai hesitantly nodded back at Asher.

Tom, on the other hand, was tapping his right foot on the floor continuously.

He was simply too nervous.

'What if Boss dies?' Tom thought of the worst-case scenario.

Why would an SS Rank Hunter let the most wanted man in the world talk with him and let him go back safely?

What if Asher's identity gets revealed?

What would happen to him?

Dane and Kai wore their masks as well, and they noticed Tom, who looked like a nervous wreck.

But both of them could understand him.

Suddenly, he stopped, and his eyes shined as he looked at Asher.

"Boss, if you would teleport to their mansion, I don't think you would be able to meet him," Tom said out loud.

"And even if Jarell Neville accepts the meeting request, they might trace it back to us," Tom added.

Dane and Kai looked at him, and they could understand what Tom was saying.

Because they had made their deals with those people as Aztech, it wasn't a good idea to go like this.

"Don't worry, he will not meet those people," Asher said.

"And we will be going inside the Mansion directly," Asher added.

"What? But I don't have the coordinates, and even if I guess, I don't know the layout where Jarell Neville might be." Tom tried to explain.

"I have them already," Asher said as he looked at Dane and Kai.

Asher took out the necklace, ignoring the confused look on Tom's face.

'I guess there is no making out of it,' Kai thought as he and Dane stood behind Asher.

Asher had already engraved the coordinates on the necklace when he arrived here.

He still remembered the coordinates of the Neville Mansion from his previous life.

The energy from the Necklace enveloped the three of them as they disappeared from their spot and teleported to an empty hallway.

Without even wasting a second, Kai activated his ability and erased their presence.

"Where should we go from here?" Dane whispered.

But Asher looked in a certain direction.

He remembered the entire structure of this mansion because he had come here himself.

However, this time, the purpose was different.

"Follow the plan I told you," Asher told both of them one more time as he started moving toward the empty hallway.

They were on the Fourth Floor, which was the floor where the Family Head of the Neville Family would stay.

Surprisingly, apart from a few servants, this floor was empty.

Jarell Neville made sure that even his servants stayed away from his floor most of the time.

Due to the type of meetings that Jarell participated in, he couldn't afford to let even a single rumor leave his mansion.

As they were moving, they saw a well-dressed man moving towards the Opposite side, and that was when Asher gave the confirmation to Dane.

And that was how the Butler was knocked out, and Asher was sitting in front of Jarell Neville.

"Haha, I didn't think you would be stupid enough to walk in front of me like this," Jarell said as a smile appeared on his face.

But despite that smile, Jarell was extremely cautious of the Masked Man sitting in front of him.

He tried to spread his mana sense, and two men behind the white-

masked man were A+ Rank Hunters.

'Mere A+ Ranks?' Jarell thought in his head.

But the masked man couldn't sense any mana from him.

"It seems you are quite a curious fellow, Jarell Neville," Asher said as he looked straight at the Neville Head.

"But sometimes being too curious leads to a bad end," Asher said as his killing intent took over the room.

Jarell's eyes went wide.

He himself was an SS Rank Hunter, and he had killed people with his own hands.

And met those who have killed many.

But he had never seen such a killing intent in his life.

But not taking it too far, Asher took back his killing intent, which was affecting Dane and Kai, who were standing behind him.

It was similar to the time they had met Asher for the first time.

But unlike what they were thinking, Jarell Neville looked fine, or at least that is what they could see.

"It seems you are the one underestimating me," Jarell said, but he didn't show his mana.

Just like the person sitting in front of him didn't.

If someone could enter his room like this, going past all his Security and also sit here fearlessly, showing his killing intent, Jarell had no idea what that person was capable of.

Although the idea was insane, there were theories that said that Zephyr was a pseudo-SSS Rank, just like Helena.

That was the only explanation for how he could make so many calamities awaken at the same time.

'What will be the chances of me winning even if I called for help?' Jarell was thinking about the time he would be able to hold off and stay alive.

Asher smiled behind his mask as he knew that this would happen.

'No wonder your son was the same,' Asher said to himself.

Jarell Neville, that was feared by many people in reality, was a coward.

Just like Gavin, Jarell would have killed any intruder that would have dared to enter his room like that.

But it was not anyone that entered his office.

It was Zephyr himself that was in front of him.

Identity unknown?

Power unknown?

His whole existence was a threat to the High Council, and Jarell didn't want to act carelessly right now.

"What's your purpose coming here like this?" Jarell spoke.

'If he had come here with mere A Ranks, he must be confident in going back alive,' Jarell thought.

Because of the mask that Asher was wearing, his mana was completely concealed.

It was an SS Rank Artifact, after all.

Even someone like Jarell couldn't look past it, no matter how much he would try.

"My purpose?" Asher said.

"I am just here to see the pawn of Osbert Tarvian," Asher said as Jarell's eyes went wide.

"It seems he is using you properly," Asher said while tilting his head.

Jarell, on the other hand, was confused.

'How?' He thought in his head.

Who was the one?

Instead of questioning whether the person in front of him was telling the truth or not, he started doubting the people involved in all this.

Who was the one that betrayed them?

"Don't think too much about it," Asher said, bringing Jarell back to reality.

Looking at his face, the artifact was working perfectly on Jarell.

"I am not here to have a conversation with you," Asher said as he looked at Jarell.

"I am here to give you a choice,"

"You will be discarded soon enough, so why not work for me?" Asher said carefully, increasing the seed of doubts that were growing inside Jarell's head.

"Discarded? I don't know what you are talking about," Jarell finally replied.

"Don't play around Neville Head; you aren't like those puppets that serve Osbert Tarvian," Asher's words made Jarell, who was about to speak, stop completely.

'He knows!' Jarell thought to himself.

Dane and Kai were confused by Jarell's reaction.

To them, the whole conversation was going in a weird way.

They couldn't understand why Jarell Neville, the Head of the Neville family, would work under Osbert Tarvian.

Wasn't Osbert Tarvian a thorn for the elite families?
