Chapter 287 Tournament XVII - Assassination
'Who are they? People who want to harm Baron? Or-'
Hannah had a wild idea and she felt that might be the case, as Velian didn't come to meet her.
"That bitch!" In anger, Hannah kicked the door which instantly broke because of her strength.
Hannah thought she would be able to get close to Velian with this insert, but right now she knew her plans were not successful.
"Whatever! I thought this would be easy, but looks like I have to change this body too,"
Now that Velian knew her face, she knew it will be death or vanishing from this city. She knew he wasn't someone that would let someone live, after all, he is the man who killed her whole family without any shred of mercy.
"Darling! Why don't you come? Maybe we could-" Baron Stewart not knowing what was happening inside his own house, invited Hannah to his room so they could spend the night together.
He didn't understand why but after Baron had sex with Hannah he didn't feel satisfied by any other woman anymore.
It was almost like her body was a drug for him.
*Tsk
"Enough! Enough! I'm done with this acting, " Suddenly Hannah said and got close to Steeart and aggressively kissed him even going as far as to touch his body.
"If I met you when I was normal, I would have probably loved you, but now-" She said after breaking their kiss while looking at Baron's body that is slowly getting thin.
"I'm sorry," It was almost like words of regret, and Hannah looked Baron in the eyes and used her skill.
"Go to my room and-" She whispered something to him, and he nodded his head like he was in a trance.
Hannah gave him something that looked like a pendant with a rather bizarre accessory at the end.
Baron Stewart felt hypnotized by Hannah's eyes as she handed him the pendant. He felt a strong connection to her and knew he had to protect her at all costs. Little did he know, that the pendant would soon become the only thing standing between Hannah and his certain death.
It looked like it had something inside and, she smiled seeing it.
"This poison! It will easily kill those rats lurking in my room, but I need to confirm whether they are from Velian,"
She followed Baron to a certain distance and stopped right before, he entered the room and she made sure to change into her succubus form, so she can quickly intercept anyone that is trying to escape.
Soon Baron entered the room with his having the same loof of a trance.
As he entered the room where Hannah was staying, he felt a sense of unease. Something didn't feel right. Suddenly, he saw movement out of the corner of his eye. Turning his head, he saw several men with weapons drawn, waiting to kill Hannah.
"What the hell is going on here? Who are you?" Baron demanded, trying to keep his composure. He felt like he was having a fever dream, as he didn't even know how he opened the door or went inside the room.
The assassins quickly hid themselves as they saw Baron enter the room, hoping that Hannah would come after him.
"Am I dreaming? Or is this real? If it's real, I won't let anyone harm her," He muttered to himself and his hand slowly went for the dagger with one of his hand while. He clutched the pendant tightly in his other hand and prepared himself for a fight.
Baron's heart raced as he realized the gravity of the situation. He knew that he couldn't let these men harm Hannah.
"You need to leave, Baron," Suddenly he heard a feminine voice which spoke to him in a calm voice.
"Hannah is dangerous and she won't hesitate to kill you."
This voice belonged to come other than the assistant of Naomi, and next to her was standing Naomi herself.
She felt something was wrong with this situation.
'Why would Baron visit this room? He should know that Hannahbwomt be inside this room since they just arrived'
Naomi sent her hand to her own dagger, in case something happened but, even she didn't notice the pendant that was inside Baron's pocket.
Little did poor Baron know that Hannah was not who she claimed to be. She was the notorious criminal that devoured men every night, and the pendant was actually poison-filled that would kill her enemies.
The assassins simply decided to be straightforward with him, they knew he won't accept so, using force was their only option, but before that, they wanted to give a warning.
"Hand over Hannah," one of them said. "She's a criminal and we're here to take her in."
Baron's expression grew even darker.
"Hannah is not a criminal," he said, his voice low and menacing.
"She's never done anything to deserve this kind of treatment. And I won't let you take her away."
It was all rent that Baron had no idea what he was talking about. Naomi easily noticed this and quickly decided to act, but before that, Baron decided to charge with his hand taking the dagger out.
With that, Baron lunged at the assassins, his dagger flying. The two men tried to defend themselves, but Baron was too fast and too strong. He landed blow after blow, his rage fueling him.
In the end, he had some skills because he didn't obtain the Baron position by sitting idly.
But what Baron didn't realize was that Hannah was controlling him with her powers of hypnosis. Her words echoed in his mind, urging him to defend her at all costs. And so, even as he fought off the assassins, he was completely unaware of what he was doing.
And at last, he did the unthinkable.
He sent his hand into his pocket and squeezed the pendant, which Hannah gave him and all of them heard something like glass breaking.
Naomi's survival instinct kicked in quickly, so she grabbed the assassins close to her and quickly jumped out of the window, but some of them couldn't react in time.
"This is for what you did to my darling," Baron said and suddenly, the room started to smell rather crazy making all the remaining assassins die on the spot.
