Unsurprisingly, the missions were sorted by difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these weren’t arbitrary rankings—they were tied to the standard path every awakened being, in either world, had to walk if they wished to evolve someday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awakened, Intermediate, and Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were higher ranks—Grandmaster, and maybe even beyond—but Kaden didn’t see any mission of that level on the board. And honestly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Master-level alone would be more than enough to kill him a hundred times over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Grandmaster?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Forget about it.’ Kaden thought, before focusing again on the list in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was deeply concentrated. Zoned in. Completely ignoring everything happening around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after a few minutes of combing through the board, Kaden finally found a mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A weird one, sure—but one that sparked his interest immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mission: Bring one of the hands of the Dreadthorn Bear.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Difficulty: Intermediate ~ Master]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Reward: One artifact forged by the Forger Blacksmith Smith. Additional rewards possible if you bring the entire body.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Time limit: One month]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden read through the mission slowly, taking in every word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because of the target. Not even because of the time limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because of the reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Forger blacksmith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That title wasn’t some fancy name—it was a realm. A level of craftsmanship that very few blacksmiths ever achieved in their lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To get one of their artifacts...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t pass this up.’ Kaden thought firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even as he resolved to take it, a question lingered in the back of his mind—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why hadn’t anyone else taken this mission?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t get the time to think further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because suddenly, instinct flared in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone was staring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snapped out of his focused state, perception expanding outward—and immediately, his expression shifted into a deep frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many gazes on him. But that wasn’t what unsettled him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What bothered him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was one particular gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his blood-red eyes locked onto a pair of radiant silver ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No way in hell...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kaden! I’ve missed you so much!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meris’s voice echoed through the entire hall—loud, clear, and unashamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single person turned to look at Kaden, as if only just realizing he was there at all. And their eyes widened further at Meris’s declaration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Am I dreaming?\" one guy muttered, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who the hell is he...? How can the purple-haired goddess talk to him like that?\" another whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall buzzed instantly, whispers rippling in every direction. Everyone wanted to know—who was this red-eyed stranger who knew the Elamin heiress?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Lisa, standing behind her desk, was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her brown eyes flicked between Meris and Kaden with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t believe that the young mistress of the Elamin clan knew that guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Lisa felt a pang of intimidation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But quickly... that emotion morphed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He’s a big fish,’ she thought, almost trembling with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Meris knew him and spoke like that to him—then Kaden wasn’t just anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that meant one thing for Lisa,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to get close to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kaden didn’t care about any of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His focus was now completely locked onto one person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kenan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heat in the room was rising. Subtle, nearly imperceptible—but not to Kaden. His perception caught it all. And with one look into Kenan’s dark eyes, he knew—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was written all over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, just to make things worse—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meris rushed up to Kaden and, without hesitation, grabbed his hands with both of hers. Just like she had done the first time they met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes sparkled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn’t forget your promise, did you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden almost answered no. Almost told her to back off. But he stopped himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had given his word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it didn’t matter that the situation had changed. It didn’t matter that his current state was far from ideal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Warborn keeps his word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he ends up regretting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s the burden his name gave him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s the burden he chose to carry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he sighed—quietly, internally—and replied,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t forget.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meris’s face lit up instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perfect! I’ve prepared everything. I even found a nice spot just earlier. And if you want, I can reserve an entire floor so no one disturbs us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smile was bright and blinding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the entire hall watched in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bro, slap me,\" one guy murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. You slap me,\" another whispered, unable to look away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall could barely process it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meris Elamin—the cold, mischievous, unpredictable heiress—acting like this for a guy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was shocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Kenan was spiraling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meris had never acted like this with him. She was either cold or teasing—but never... like this. Never to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And finally, he turned his attention to Kaden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black hair. Red eyes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black hair. Red eyes...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those features tickled something in the back of his mind—but the connection refused to form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And before he could dig deeper—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So let’s go!\" Meris said eagerly. \"Just give me a bit of time to get ready. Five minutes! No—ten! Hmm... maybe fifteen? Actually, I think... thirty minutes. Yes! Thirty will be fine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded, trying to convince herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden stared at her in silence, blinking slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Fine. I’ll take this mission in the meantime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could answer, he gently pulled his hands from hers and walked straight toward Lisa—who was already beaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello! Sir Kaden, it’s great to see you again!\" she chirped, voice filled with enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as Meris was about to turn and prepare—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And turned back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her silver eyes locked onto Lisa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in that moment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were nothing like the ones that had looked at Kaden with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were cold, lifeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lisa froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something primal made her look up—and when she did, she wished she hadn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meris didn’t speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t have to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze alone screamed the message:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Continue... and you’ll die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she turned and walked off to prepare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden had noticed it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His perception was wide open, and to say he was disturbed... would be putting it mildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly couldn’t figure her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meris Elamin was a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But more than anything...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t understand why she was so fixated on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What a bother...’ Kaden thought, sighing internally as he turned back to Lisa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Confirm the mission for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lisa, still shaken, nodded quickly. But as she did...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new flame sparked in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You want him too?’ she thought, glancing at the direction Meris had disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Fine. You just made me want him even more.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Meris?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wouldn’t touch a Tycoon’s Merchant employee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as a noble, there were lines you didn’t cross.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While all three of them were deep in their thoughts—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kenan stood silently by the exit, watching the entire scene with cold eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt humiliated, discarded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t say a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just walked out, his hands clenching tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And though he didn’t say anything, he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew where trouble was coming from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he knew—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kenan was trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And once again...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Fucking hell...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden was really getting used to saying that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—End of Chapter 51—\u003C\u002Fp>",1263,"2026-06-03T10:53:47.503Z",1,"novelbin.me","8abd7f4ff0dd9ba17846c6ab6c01a45f0cebde63e26568a6874154bc173585a1","killed-me-now-i-have-your-power-chapter-52","killed-me-now-i-have-your-power-chapter-481",481,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkilled-me-now-i-have-your-power-cover.jpg"]
