MIGHT AS WELL BE OP

THE NEXT DAY

'Sigh..We would be leaving today huh'

Anthony thought as he sat down sipping on his juice as he looked outside.

Anthony didn't really have fun within these two days stay so he wasn't really bothered about leaving.

He looked at the time and saw it was 1PM.

He then stood up and went to have a bath as they were supposed to leave by 2PM.

After he was done with everything, he stepped out of his room and walked to the elevator and was stunned as he saw the rest were already waiting for him by the elevator.

He smiled at them and greeted all of them as they stepped into the elevator together.

They all got to the clerk and checked out of the hotel.

The valet drove their cars to the front and gave them all their keys with a slight bow.

Anthony accepted his key but didn't enter his own car.

Rather he waved his hand and his car disappeared from sight.

The crew looked at him wondering what he was doing.

Anthony walked up to Clara and Zara and said with a smile on his face.

"I would love to ride with both of you if its okay"

Both girls were stunned as they heard Anthony's request.

'He has finally fallen for our charm'

They both thought at the same time, as Anthony hadn't even cast them a glance since they started the journey.

And truly Anthony had fallen for their charm.

Since seeing their beauty, Anthony has decided to get close to them and crown the both of them as first members to his harem.

Although Zara's lie detection skill could be troublesome, Anthony already developed a skill yesterday to counter any type of lie detection skill.

To the extent that even if he tells the truth and he wants you to detect it as a lie, you would detect it as a lie without even knowing your own skill was interfered with.

With Anthony's talent, developing such skill was no different than breathing to him.

As for him having a lie detection skill, Anthony's All seeing eyes could see through such simple things.

Seeing this scene, the others could help but laugh.

Anthony saw them laughing but didn't know why they were laughing so he just ignored them.

But how could he know they were laughing at him. This-is-a-MVLeMpYr-special

Imagine falling for someone who plans to kill you and takeaway all your possession.

So they were laughing at Anthony's situation.

Although normally Anthony would have sensed that someone wanted to kill him.

But this time he couldn't as there wasn't any killing intent or change in atmosphere or emotion or anything.

If not, Anthony's Sense Dome would have picked it already.

Everything was as normal as it could be because to them, this situation didn't warrant any emotion as they have been in this type of situation way more times than they have lived.

So to them, it was just another day, just another mission, no personal vendetta or grudge.

Everyone entered their cars and they all set off, but this time Meek and his bodyguard didn't use the van as the van was just for securing the dragon heart.

They drove a normal car like the rest this time.

As they drove, Anthony spent time flirting and trying to deepen his bond with Zara and Clara.

(Anthony won't be getting any harem throughout this novel, but he would be having desire for it once in a while like right now)

These were his first members of his harem so he naturally had to take good care of them.

And just like that five days went by on their journey back to city M.

Although this time they were also attacked, they weren't attacked crazily like before.

Before every monsters wanted the dragon heart, but this time they didn't have it on them anymore, so the monsters that attacked only made a move cause they saw them as meat.

Of course the team didn't touch any of these monsters, they allowed Anthony to take care of them all by himself.

They did this to allow him waste more mana from his reserve.

Although it wasn't much, at least it was something.

Also Anthony was casting flashy spells to dazzle the beauties he was trying to impress so he could further solidify bring them to his harem.

Seeing all this, Meek didn't know whether to feel happy or sad.

Deep down he wanted a third option to bloom into reality.

But the possibility of that was no different than a god descending into blue planet.

Though this third option possibility was abysmal, it was the most rewarding.

And what's the third option?

Mutual Destruction.

Meek saw a path in which both parties ended up dead without any winner, making him the sole winner by default.

A path where he gets everything.

A path where he takes all loot on everyone's corpse and also still gets the assassination mission payout at same time.

Such a path was the most rewarding of all.

This is why he is feeling somewhat sad right now, because if Anthony waste all his mana reserve, Anthony won't have any mana left to fight to mutual destruction.

'Too bad I can't at least help by reducing the mana he spends'

Meek thought in dilemma as the mana contract explicitly stated he can't intervene in any way or form.

Meek wasn't worried about his safely on his way back to city M incase of mutual destruction.

He wasn't with the dragon heart anymore so the monsters coming at them was easy to fend off.

Even if something big should step out, he can send out his bodyguard to handle it, or better still use his life saving trump cards to escape if his bodyguard couldn't handle it.

So Meek was really prepared for anything and was sure to reap rewards.

THREE DAYS LATER

The car at the forefront suddenly stopped.

Once it stopped, everyone also stopped.

Everyone came down from their cars and went on to stretch their legs as they have been driving for eight days.

But this time, it was more than just stretching of the leg or any other part of the body.

Anthony didn't need to stretch as his beginning of all things physique always kept him in optimal condition even if he doesn't move for ten years.

So he just stood faraway from others and waited for them as he gazed at the sky.

But as he gazed at the sky and clouds, he suddenly felt some familiar presence surrounding him and getting closer.

Although they didn't emit any killing intent, their weapons were drawn at this moment as even a fool could tell what was happening.

They all stood in silence looking at Anthony while being ready to make a move.

Anthony looked at them with an expressionless face, he didn't bother asking why and any useless cliché questions like, 'why are you doing this?' 'what of the bonds and friendship we formed over the past weeks' and all those crap as he knew what kind of world he reincarnated in.

"At the end of it all it still came to this huh"

Anthony said as he sighed.

"You sound like you already expected this"

Amos asked with a smile like he wasn't about to kill Anthony.

"Aren't assassinations during missions the norm, there is nothing to be surprised about"

Anthony replied Amos as he chuckled.

"Hooo...if you saw this coming why didn't you runaway or hide, you aren't delusional enough to think you can take on all of us"

Zayne said as channeled mana and was ready to cast a spell at a moment's notice.

Anthony didn't reply him as he wasn't here to answer anybody's thoughts.

Anthony turned his head to another direction high up in the sky.

His gaze met Meek's and his bodyguard's.

"Aren't you going to join the party and have some fun with us"

Anthony asked in a low tone as he was sure Meek could hear him just fine.

Meek hearing Anthony's question, smiled and replied.

"This has nothing to do with me or my bodyguard, we won't interfere in this matter, anything that happens is between you all"

Anthony kept his gaze on Meek for a second, then he smiled and nodded.

He turned his gaze to Clara and Zara and sighed in thought.

'There goes my harem and effort'

Sadness flashed his eyes for split second before disappearing.

With the air and aura around Anthony still as carefree and laid back as ever, he said.

"Lets get this show over with shall we"
