My Hidden Heresy Skill Forged an SSS-Ranked Harem for Infinite Points

After Ryan returned from his escort mission and met up with Karol and Irina.

They realized they were being followed, and the girls had taken care of it.

They had brought back one of those assassins for interrogation.

Though it apparently turned out to be a girl.

Her breasts remained exposed, and Ryan removed the hood covering her face. She was still unconscious.

”Were all the ones you killed women?”

”I didn’t really notice... does it matter?”

”Not really, but I was curious.”

’She must be about our age, well... that shouldn’t surprise me. It’s only normal in this world when one is an adventurer’

Ryan inspected her, and she was a Rank A assassin.

Although her stats were what he would expect from an average Rank A.

”Did these assassins give you any trouble?”

”No, although if I hadn’t had your relic, it would have been problematic, since several of them, including this girl, used stealth.”

Irina approached and stood in front of Ryan.

”But... why do you think they are following us?”

Karol interjected.

”Do you think they know who we are?”

”No, if that was known, we would already be surrounded by S-rank adventurers or holy knights.”

”Then what could be the reason...?” asked Irina with uncertainty.

Ryan stood up.

”I think these assassins are somehow related to the aggressive adventurers, the ones we ran into before entering the city.”

”So they’re looking for revenge? What idiots,” mentioned Karol with a gesture of annoyance.

”Yes, it’s most likely. So tomorrow when you escort the dwarves, you must be even more careful.”

”And what should we do with that girl?” asked Irina, her gaze showing concern.

’It’s only normal that she’s worried... from her point of view, she’s the weakest of us.’

Ryan approached her.

”Irina, you don’t have to be worried, I would never allow anyone to harm you.”

She looked at him with glowing eyes and nodded her head.

After that, Irina told him that after leaving the mines, she would try to find information, because when she went today, she had already moved. And no one knew where she was.

’It will be a problem if we don’t find her friend, because I don’t think it will be that easy to convince another dwarf...’

Ryan turned toward the unconscious girl.

”Well, we have to interrogate her.”

Ryan extended his hand toward her.

”Recovery.”

Then the girl opened her eyes.

She began to look at Ryan, puzzled.

Then she saw Karol and jumped up.

”It’s you!” She jumped back and pressed herself against the wall.

”Calm down. If you cooperate, we won’t hurt you.”

”Cooperate? What the hell are you talking about?” She lowered her gaze slightly and noticed her breasts were still visible. ”What the shit? What were you doing to me, you bastard!?”

”I didn’t do anything to you, we just want to talk.”

She didn’t answer and tried to run toward the window to escape.

”From now on, I command you to be totally obedient.”

The effect of the debt had already activated.

”Strip, and come to me.”

The girl tried to struggle.

But it was useless; she began to undress.

And she stood in front of Ryan.

”What... are you doing to me...?”

”I was kind before but, since you leave me no choice. Tell me, who are you?”

”And do you think I’ll...” Her words were cut off.

”I... am... Ivis. I belong to an assassin clan that calls itself... Armana Manor.”

”Hmm, I’ve never heard of them.”

”I have,” commented Karol. ”They’re a clan that accepts all kinds of missions, even if that includes killing adventurers.”

Karol paused. Then she continued speaking.

”It’s even rumored that they don’t mind dealing with demons.”

Ryan looked back at the girl.

”Are you working with the demons?”

”No... and I don’t know if my client is allied with demons or not, they only ordered us to keep your group well-monitored, and if possible, kill you when you were off guard. Though, that was only for extra pay; the priority was to find out who you are, and if your presence here could interfere with the plans of those who hired us.”

”I see... so in some way, they did plan to get rid of us... And tell me, those people who hired you, what are those plans they want to keep us away from?”

The girl still tried to resist, but it was totally useless.

”They are here to kidnap dwarves. They pretend to work as escorts, then they kidnap them and use the monsters as cover by saying the dwarves they were guarding died.”

The interrogation continued.

The girl confessed that all the assassins who came besides her had already been killed by Karol.

When Ryan asked what the purpose of kidnapping the dwarves was, she didn’t know the reason; however, she let out two suppositions.

There was the possibility that they wanted to forge some special kind of relic that dwarves wouldn’t normally dare to make.

Or also, there was the possibility that they wanted to make some deal with demons by exchanging the dwarves as slaves.

[Debt collection applied]

[Debt bonus: +50 Points]

[Debt bonus: +45000 XP]

The effect of the debt had ended; at last the girl could move, but Ryan warned her not to try anything else and told her she could get dressed now, so she obeyed.

Without complaining, surely thinking that he could control her again if she acted in a strange or defiant way.

Ryan sat in one of the chairs in the room.

”You’ve probably realized it by now, but it will be useless for you to try to escape. And even though you are an assassin, I’m willing to let you live, only if you take me to where your clients are.”

She didn’t respond immediately.

She lowered her gaze and slumped her shoulders.

Ryan raised his hand toward her.

”I told you, I’m being kind. One way or another you will take me to them. Tell me... which way do you prefer to do it?”

She looked at him, her face reflecting an involuntary terror, as if remembering what she had experienced a few minutes ago while under the control of Ryan’s skill.

”All right, I’ll take you to them, just as you suggested, in exchange for letting me live.”

She looked back at the floor.

”But you should know that I don’t know where they are currently, but... we agreed to meet at a base, and that will be before dawn...”

”That’s fine. Then, I want you to take me to them before dawn.”

Ryan turned to look at Karol.

Karol approached the girl.

”Don’t move, we can’t let you stay awake until sunrise.”

Karol took her arm and began to drain her mana.

The girl fell to the floor unconscious again.

”Then, in a few hours I’ll take care of those who are trying to kill us...”
