Hitman With A Badass System-Novel

"Sister Aelia!"

"Sister Aelia!"

Inside Michael's home in the Sunrise sect, Gaya was cultivating until she heard Jack calling her out. She sensed panic in Jack's voice as she stood up and walked towards the door. It's been five days since Michael left as time flows differently in the outside world than the Nether realm.

For the last five days, she was busy as a bee. She spent half of her day in Majestic and half of the day overseeing the construction of their new high-end restaurant as well as the renovation of the Sunrise sect. Because of the works, she didn't even talk to Michael through the earpiece but fully focused on the work at hand.

Today was supposed to be her holiday and planned to spend the day cultivating.

"This little shit better has a valid reason" She cursed him under her breath and opened the door to see Jack outside the door with five finger marks on his right cheek. On the corner of his mouth, there was a red smudge. All of his clothes were stained with mud and dust and there were even some scratches on his hands. He seemed like he went skating on the ground with his body.

"Sister Aelia" seeing Gaya, Jack felt relieved. Despite her cultivation, Jack thought of her as someone he could rely on or ask for help.

"What happened?" She knew the red smudge was blood and also she didn't fail to notice his legs shiver.

"Sister Aelia, some adventurers stopped the renovation work and they are asking for more gold coins. I tried to negotiate with them but-"

"Did they do this to you?" She interrupted him before he finishes his sentence as Jack nodded his head.

"I'm going to beat the crap out of them for attacking my minion, come!" She tied her raven black hair into a ponytail and rushed towards the student quarters because that's the place they were renovating.

"Sister Aelia, those adventurers have a Body Strengthening level 8 cultivator with them! We should go and get the Baron's men" While the sect is being renovated, Claire and the Elders went to Capital to meet the King of Bredia and settle their debts. Daniel and Ricky were working with the dwarven engineer to build the restaurant according to Michael's plan.

That left the sect with Aelia and she appointed Jack as her minion and gave him the job to oversee the renovation while she's away.

"Shut the fuck up and follow me!"

Plop!

She slapped the back of his head hard and continued to walk. After he was slapped and thrown away from the student quarters by those adventurers, his first instinct was to run to Ghost's home and call Sister Aelia. He didn't think anything about her cultivation or how weak she is compared to a Body Strengthening cultivator. For Jack, Ghost was the highest existence in his world as he basically worshipped him in his mind. Because of Ghost, he had tremendous respect towards Aelia even though she would beat him regularly whenever she gets the chance.

However, he never got mad at Aelia after a while because he knew she might be the only person who would fight for him and protect him like a big sister. He ran behind her like a little kid and hoped that she has a way to resolve this conflict with the adventurers.

A few minutes after, Gaya and Jack came to the renovation site.

"No one can work until someone pays us what they owe us" the disciples and the workers stopped what they were doing and kept their distance from a group of adventurers who just beat Jack.

All the adventurers in the group were a Body Strengthening stage level 3 cultivator except the one who was shouting orders at the workers; he was a Body Strengthening stage level 8 cultivator. In Gaya's eyes, they all had one thing in common, they didn't seem like they came to do construction and renovation work as they were strong enough to get more paying quests.

Their armor alone was worth at least 100 gold coins a piece and they certainly did not need to work for 20 silver a day.

"Who hit you?" asked Gaya.

"Sister Aelia!"

"Sister Aelia is here!"

"Sister Aelia!"

Many disciples shouted the name Aelia when they saw her. The adventurers however just snickered looking at her cultivation level except for the strongest adventurer who looked Gaya with eyes filled with lust.

Many girls who saw him staring at Gaya made them feel nauseated and they prepared themselves to fight the adventurers if they dared to touch Aelia. After Ghost joined their sect, the reputation of the Sunrise sect took a turn and many who bullied them for fun now wouldn't even dare to look at them in a wrong way. Only because of him that they were able to settle their debts and receive the needed resources to cultivate with no hindrance. Therefore, how could they let Ghost's girlfriend be violated by these adventurers?

"It was me, pretty girl" a middle-aged man who was thin as a stick made his way towards Gaya with a wicked grin on his face.

Plop!

"Ah!" the middle-aged man halted his steps when he saw Gaya suddenly slap Jack.

"Did you really let this walking stick slap you?! Look at him!" Everyone was stunned by the words coming out of Aelia, especially the thin man. He didn't think he would be mocked by a body Refining stage girl.

"A gust of wind could have killed this fucker"

"YOU!"

"How did you even climb the stairs against the wind? Hahahaha" Gaya couldn't keep a serious face as she burst into laughter.

"Sister Aelia" Jack tried to stop her from antagonizing the man any further as he already looked pissed off.

" Your mom was also so thin as," she said laughing "she ate a meatball and thought she's pregnant" Gaya began to abuse the man's family and continued "but it turned out she was really pregnant...pregnant with you, hahaha " her joke might have been a bad one but the man's reaction made even his friends chuckle for a moment.

"How dare you..."

"Whoo"

"AHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhh....." however when he stepped forward at Gaya raising his fist, she let out a blow of wind, and shockingly, the wind came out of her mouth really did send him flinging away like a kite without an anchor in a storm.

The scene stunned everyone as they watched the man disappear with their mouths wide open. She only looked like a Body Refining stage cultivator but in reality, she was a Core Formation level 7 cultivator. For her, killing a Body Strengthening stage level 3 cultivator as easy as stepping on an ant.

"Was that me or the wind?" she looked at the sky and said while the rest of the adventurers stared at her speechlessly.

"Sister Aelia, you..." Gaya ignored Jack and looked at the leader,

"I heard you want more gold coins, here's my counter offer, pay my minion's healing cost, apologize to him and run away as fast as you can" there was no smile on her face as she said seriously.

"Healing cost? How much would that be?" the leader who was a bulky old man with a white beard asked.

"9000 gold coins plus 2000 for the psychological pain my minion experienced because of you"

"Is Sister Aelia serious?"

"Did you do that? How did she do that?"

"Am I seeing it wrong or she's just a Body Refining stage cultivator?"

"I bet Brother Ghost gave something to her making her this powerful"

"I think so too or how could have she done that?"

"Do you think she can kill him too?"

"I don't know that but if they hurt her, Brother Ghost will tear them to pieces"

"He's not here, let's hope Sister Aelia can beat their ass"

The disciples already began to chatter while the adventurers had weird looks on their faces after hearing Gaya's words. They did not know whether she's joking with them or not but they knew that she's not normal.

"Are you hit on the head girl? I don't know what you used to do what you did but-"

"Ah-ah, no buts, you either do what I told you or die" Gaya interrupted the leader with her words, and seeing the careless look on her face, the leader glanced at the man on his side as he stepped forward to take care of Gaya.

"Jack keep an eye on that guy, I have a feeling that this is now what it seems to be" While the man was on his way towards Gaya, she ordered Jack and rolled her sleeves upwards.

After looking at the confidence in her eyes, Jack felt powered. He gave a quick nod and started to watch the leader as she said.

"I need to torture your leader, so I suggest you all six to come at me together. I don't like my time being wasted" the more everyone heard her words, the more they became surprised and shocked. If anyone else was in this situation, they would be afraid but in her eyes, there was no fear, no fear at all.

"Bring me all the teeth on her mouth" The leader had enough of her. He never expected a Body Refining stage cultivator like her would mock them to this extent without showing any signs of distress.

"Good way to torture someone, I'll pull your teeth one by one, just wait a few seconds"
