100X Return System: My Talent Awakening Becomes a God-Level Cheat-Chapter 27: Assault

It didn’t come as a shock to Aegon because he had already expected this. He had concluded almost ninety percent that he was the one, so them finding out, wasn’t surprising.

"What would you have to say for yourself?" a random voice exclaimed.

But Aegon didn’t utter a single word but stared with an expressionless face.

"Can’t get your tongue... huh?" another Farmer spoke out, about to charge out but was held back by Natsu.

"What are you doing, let me go?!" the Farmer exclaimed.

But Natsu didn’t listen while he used his strength to hold the Farmer, before saying;

"Just hold on and let her do the talking."

By ’her’ he was referring to Nyra, as it was expected of her. She was the one leading the entire Farmers so it was only right that she was the one who would do the questions.

Nyra was at the forefront of the Farmers with Sinon, Chrome and the others in her party. She didn’t step forward, but stayed with her party as though sending a message.

"We have come to a conclusion..." she began. "Do you know if anything you did might have distributed the challenge?"

Nyra asked directly without even considering if Aegon had thought of the situation yet, but how could she?

It wasn’t as though Aegon’s expression was possible to read. His expression was tough as a monolith, nothing could be read from it.

Silence followed after Nyra had asked the question, as Aegon did give her a response.

Seeing this, she sighed and asked again.

"I know this might come as a shock to you, but you are the only one we don’t know much about since we entered this place."

"It is only logical that we pick you as a prime suspect. What happened during your fight with that massive monster?"

As the question left her lips, every Farmer’s eyes were on Aegon. They were waiting for an answer, but there was none.

"The shockwave that we felt, was that you?" Nyra finally asked the question she had held off when Aegon met with them again.

At that time, she had a choice, but now she doesn’t. How could she?

Nyra wasn’t doing this because she wanted to, if it was left to only her she would have liked to discuss it personally with Aegon.

However, her hands were tight. She was the leader of the Farmers and had to take up the responsibility of a leader.

She knew that if she didn’t do it, someone else would do it, and it might lead to violence. After all, he was just a single person and there were a lot of them.

But they didn’t know the kind of abilities he possessed.

Seeing that there was no response from him again, Sinon stepped in and asked her own questions.

"Are you a S-rank Farmer who had faked his rank?"

’Not this again...’ Aegon thought inwardly.

"Considering your ability I’m guessing you are in that category because a F-rank Farmer can’t display that kind of talent ability."

Sinon had asked another question but there was still no response from Aegon.

Although she had admired him in the early hours, this was about life and death, and such emotions can’t come close.

"S-rank Farmer? Oh please, as if!" a male voice spoke out in doubt.

"How can he be an S-rank Farmer, he might be a false ranker but S-rank? That’s a dream."

"S-rank Farmers only show their faces when it is most important. They are royal who can go against certain rules and get away with it, because they are among the strongest."

"And you think him to be one of them?"

There were doubts in the air that they didn’t even know half an hour had already passed.

’This people are all idiots...’ Aegon thought inwardly. ’I should leave now and let them die.’

Of course he could leave at any time, after all he had the return stone. He was only holding out because of his appreciation towards Nyra and her party.

However, now that they had all planned to have him killed, why shouldn’t he use the return stone?

Why shouldn’t he leave then to die?

If he was to leave them, meaning their only way out had escaped, what then?

Would they simply find another person to take his place? Or would the voice pity them and allow them to live?

’That’t not possible. From the way it had killed that farmer earlier, I don’t think it has pity in its heart to do such a thing.’

"He must be hiding something and not telling us!" a random Farmer exclaimed.

"I say we should just kill him and be done with it, it isn’t like we have the time to spare."

"Yeah, he is a F-rank Farmer after all. Forget the way he used his ability, F-rank is F-rank, and he is the lowest amongst us all.’

’They are right, but I can’t just send him to death after all had done to save our lives.’ Nyra thought in her heart.

’I get that he might be a S-rank Farmer and was probably sent by the higher-ups to investigate the disappearance of Farmers, but how would we leave here if we’re held captive.’

’It is not as though we could even face him if all of us tried, he’s S-rank after all. His strength is far greater than ours.’

’Most of these Farmers might not want to believe that he’s S-rank but how would they know? It’s not as if they have seen one before to be able to tell.’

"So what do we do now?" Chrome walked towards Nyra and asked. "He is not saying anything, that means he surely knows something, what should we do?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Natsu looked at Chrome as he was speaking to Nyra and forgot he was holding someone.

In that moment he got distracted, the Farmer who he was holding and preventing him from running to Aegon, had just slipped from his grasp and charged towards Aegon.

The man had a black dagger in his hand, his lips curved into a psychopathic smile as he stretched the dagger towards Aegon to kill him.

Everyone saw this and even someone almost shouted ’no’ but immediately covered her mouth.

The distance between the man and Aegon wasn’t far, so it was normal that Aegon wouldn’t be able to react on time and be killed.

And just as expected, the Farmers all saw what they wanted to believe.
