Chapter 77: Breaking The Hot Assassin
Chapter 77
The female assassin managed to hook a leg behind his, tripping him and flipping the positions.
Now she was on top with her knees pressed into his sternum. She raised her hand, which was quickly beginning to coat with ink like frost, and prepared to execute a point-blank attack.
Alex struggled to breathe, the exhaustion from fighting Gnash earlier on was finally beginning to catch up on him. His muscles felt like blocks of lead, and the cold radiating from her was beginning to slow down his blood.
He looked up at her, seeing the lethal intent in her obsidian eyes, and realized that he was only seconds away from a cold grave.
His mind began to race with every opportunity that he could use to stop this. He even considered using his body recovery water to get a quick healing, but he ruled it out. There was just not enough time to buy and drink the body recovery water.
As the petal shaped ice shards began to form at the edge of her finger tips, a crazy idea suddenly sprung through his mind.
’What if I use aura of seduction to weaken her? That should work?’
Since Aura of seduction could weaken women’s defenses and make them incredibly aroused, then there was a high chance that it would be able to weaken the assassin, especially by repeatedly maintaining body contact which would effectively increase its effect.
Deciding to bet on that crazy gamble, Alex activated the aura of seduction. And the moment the aura was active, the woman’s finger, which was already about to release the petal shaped shard, twitched.
Even her previously sharp eyes turned hazy, and for a split second, the killing intent vanished, replaced by confusion. Alex didn’t dare to waste the hard earned opening.
So ignoring the protest of his exhausted muscles, he surged upward and used the weight of his entire body to pull her into a suffocating embrace. The physical contact acted like a lightning rod for the aura of seduction.
The second his chest slammed against her soft melons, and his arms wrapped around her thin waist, he felt the system roar to life and at that moment a translucent panel suddenly chimed at the corner of his vision.

Alex almost cursed at the system. couldn’t it see that now was not a good time to distract him. Any small mistake and his life could have been in grave danger. He shook his head and used their combined momentum to roll, his shoulder hitting the cold floorboards as he flipped their positions.
With a heavy thud, he pinned her beneath him, with his legs locking around hers tightly, while his hands clamped onto her delicate wrist, slamming them against the floor beside her head.
Celine snapped herself out of the hazy feeling and struggled to free her hand.
"Get the hell off me you pervert!" She hissed while struggling to push his body away.
When she noticed that her attempts were futile, she tried to manifest a shard of ice between them, but the proximity of Alex’s body, the warm satisfying feeling of his skin against hers, and the overwhelming weight of his presence, made it impossible for her to focus her primordial essence.
"Look who’s calling me a pervert. Weren’t you the one that said I would make an excellent boy toy, Black Rose?" Alex whispered softly as he leaned his face down, just inches from hers.
Celine froze, her body stiffening beneath him.
"How... how do you know my name?"
"I know a lot of things, Celine Anderson," Alex replied, making sure to stress her real name slowly. "I also know that you’re just a twenty-five year old woman. And that your ice ability is ten times colder than that of any known ice in the world. But what I really want to know is... Who in the hell sent a beautiful assassin like you to kill me?"
The shock of hearing her real name was even more stronger than the shock of hearing her code name. To a professional assassin like her, anonymity was their only shield.
So having it stripped away by a target she was supposed to eliminate was a psychological blow that weakened her resistance even further.

Celine struggled, but it was more of a half-hearted movement at this point. The more she writhed beneath him to break free, the more her skin rubbed against the rough fabric of his shirt and the warmth of his strong arm. Every point of contact felt like a spark of electricity that seemed to numb her brain cells.
Even the cold she usually commanded was being pushed back, retreating into the corners of the room as a faint flush began to creep up her neck.
"I don’t... talk to dead men," she managed to gasp out, though it was obvious that her defiance was crumbling.
She tried to knee him in the groin, but Alex had already anticipated that particular move, and shifted his hips to pin her thigh even tighter. The movement accidentally caused his large bulge to rub against her inner thighs, causing her obsidian like eyes to widen in rage.
"You freaking pervert!!! I will kill you!!!"
"Oh, and how exactly? Because from the way I see it, you can’t even manage to get out of my hold. Hehe." He countered with a wry, dangerous smirk playing on his lips.
Even though he body was really tired, he knew he had to prolong this. He needed the aura to weaken her to the point that she wouldn’t be able to kill him even if he let her go.
Alex slid his hands from her wrist to interlock his fingers with hers, pressing her soft palms flat against the floor. It was a dominant yet intimate gesture that forced her to feel the warmth of his palm against her own cold ones.
Celine’s head fell back against the floorboard, her dark hair splayed out like silken webs. Her obsidian eyes were no longer cold, instead they were hazy, swimming with a clouded frustrated hint of lust.
Her ample chest heaved, making the tight fabric of her assassin suit to strain against her perfect curves with every labored breath.
"You... What are you doing to me?" She whimpered, the sound almost lost in the quiet room. "Is this... Your ability? Some kind of... Poison attack?"
"Let’s just say you’re not quite close," Alex murmured. He lowered his head, his lips hovering just above the sensitive skin of her ear. He could smell the faint scent of winter jasmine clinging to her, mixed with the sharp tang of the frost she had just conjured moments ago.
"You came here to take my life, Celine. But looking at you know, I think you’re finding it very hard to remember why."

Celine let out a soft, broken moan that she immediately tried to choke back. Her body, which had been a weapon of lethal precision only minutes ago, was now betraying her. The dark ominous ice shards that had been embedded in his headboard began to melt slowly, dripping onto the floor as her control over her ability completely dissolved.
"Please get the hell off me and I promise to make sure to tell my employer that you were too difficult to handle."
"Do you think I’m a fool? I know that from the second I let you free, you’ll make sure to kill me for touching you."
"Y-you!" She stammered while trying to keep back the hazy feeling, but it was simply overwhelming.
Alex soon began to feel a subtle shift in her. The strength in her wrist had now disappeared, replaced by a subtle, desperate pulling. From the looks of things, it looked like she was subconsciously trying to pull him closer.
Good! It just proves that the aura was doing it’s work well, by dismantling her walls brick by brick and feeding her with a skyrocketing, undeniable feeling of lust and desires.
"Tell me who sent you," Alex urged while trailing his nose along her elegant collar bone, boosting the aura’s effect. "Just tell me, and maybe I’ll make this easier for you, and satisfy your burning desires."
"N-no... Do... Your freaking worst." She managed to choke out.
Alex gave a devilish smirk and intensified his kisses. He wanted to see how long she could keep holding on before breaking.
Celine’s eyes rolled back slightly in pure bliss as she felt his soft lips lay aggressive kisses down her neck.
The cold logical part of her brain was screaming at her to fucking snap out of it, instead of behaving like a bitch in heat. But her body reveled more in his sweet kisses that seemed to soothe the raging fire in her body. Soon the logical part of her brain slowly began to grow quieter and quieter with each kiss on her now hot skin.

"Who sent you? Just spill it out." Alex muttered while sliding his free hand down her waist, making sure to caress her body slowly.
"I-it was.... It was..."
