Hitman With A Badass System-Novel

A few minutes later when the sky got slightly darker, a loud explosive sound reverberated the Crystal Ocean indicating the beginning of the event.

Dozens of men wearing golden armors appeared beside the girl. All of them had imposing auras, and although their cultivation bases weren't powerful, they were at least at the peak Body Strengthening Stage level 10. Only the leading guard who had a bigger armor was a Core Formation warrior.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Nether Auction is going to begin soon. If you want to enter Phoenix Island and partake in the event, you'll have to obey the rules set down by our Lord Julius and pay 50,000 gold coins as the entry fee"

The girl spoke with a crystal clear voice, making sure that every single warrior here could hear what she said.

"What, fifty thousand per person? This is ridiculous! I remember it only cost 10,000 coins last time, why did the price go up by five times?"

"Fuck, there are so many people here! There are hundreds of people here and just by this entry fee, he's going to become filthy rich!"

...

Just as the girl finished speaking, the entire scene became chaotic. The entrance fee was being five times higher than usual made many people growl and express their frustrations.

"This is the new rule set by our master. If you aren't willing to pay, you can just leave now. No one here will force you to pay" The girl spoke once more and this time, she sounded cold and distant.

"Haha, It's just measly fifty thousand coins per person, that's not too much. Miss, here are five hundred thousand for all of us"

A Core formation youngster from the Agaroth said with a burst of proud laughter. He led all the disciples from his sect to the girl, then he casually tossed the pay cube to the girl.

"We welcome the Agaroth to Phoenix Island"

The girl transferred the amount and handed over the pay cube back to the youngster. After that, she replied to the disciples with a smile on her face.

"Half a million, just like that."

Michael muttered. Compared to those superpowers like the Agaroth, he and his Base of Operation, the Sunrise sect was just too inferior.

"Yeah fuck it!"

A rogue cultivator casually walked over and handed his pay cube over to the girl. After that, he flew towards the Island passing the girl and the guards.

Following the Aragoth and the rogue cultivator, more and more people started paying the entrance fee. Although Julius increasing the price left some people with frustration and jealousy, the majority of the people didn't really mind that much, as they chose to pay and enter the Island.

Since they had traveled far to get here, and no one wanted to return empty-handed because of fifty thousand gold coins.

"human, do we really have to enter the island giving our hard-earned coins?"

Gaya asked as Michael took a deep breath.

"We didn't come all this way to return now, let's just pay the fee and enter the island"

Gaya sighed and took the reins to move forward towards the girl. Just when Michael and Gaya were about to pay the girl, a powerful roar reverberated through the Crystal ocean.

"Stop right there!"

With many others, Michael and Gaya also turned in the voice's direction to see the gray ape pointing its finger at someone in the crowd.

The grey ape moved its body and arrived in front of an old man and an old woman. The duo of old people didn't seem suspicious at all until the ape started to point fingers at them.

"They are the ones!"

The disturbance immediately alerted many of the people around as many eyes looked at the ape and the old people and wondered what the cause of the conflict was.

"Minnie, what's going on?"

Looking at the sudden response of the grey ape, all the disciples from the Spring garden Sect came forth and threw their glances at the old man and the old woman.

"They are the ones who killed Milan and the others! They were all killed by him!"

The Ape's words attracted almost everyone's attention. Many people here who came from Kingdom Dradel, heard the news about Milan's death. Most of them really wanted to know who was brave enough to kill the Spring Garden sect elder's grandson.

Instead of showing any signs of panic or urge to flee, the old man before the ape unveiled a small grin on his face.

"I told you this is not going to work, Alicia" the old man calmly said and closed his eyes for a moment. The next moment, the wrinkles on his skin disappeared as his whole body transformed into a vigorous youth.

His raven black hair fluttered in the wind while his brown robes became pure white. Many girls felt their heartbeat rise and many men couldn't help but become jealous of his perfect tanned body and the jaw-dropping handsome face.

While everyone was stunned at the transformation of this youth, the old woman beside him closed her eyes. Just like what happened to the old man, she also started to transform into an angelic beauty.

"Wow," many gasped for air when they saw the golden hair beauty beside the youth. Standing on top of a flying sword, the girl radiated an aura of a goddess, and coupled with her ice-cold look, she became an unparalleled beauty in many people's minds. Even Michael had to appreciate the youth's tastes when it comes to women. Ever since he met Gaya, he saw no girl more beautiful than her but now, he found a girl who could be compared to even Gaya in terms of beauty.

The ape was even more certain when he saw the girl. During the last few hours, it had sensed a familiar aura lingering within the air. But, because there were too many people around and the fact that both were in disguises, it couldn't discover them. However, when the crowds started moving, it was luckily able to discover the killers of Milan and the other Spring Garden's disciples.

"It's you! Noah!"

"How dare you kill our brothers!"

"Go tell Elder Porter that we found his grandson's killer!"

Spring Garden disciples were boiling in anger as their killing intent was soaring. They immediately surrounded the youth and the girl.

"He is completely done for! Killing is prohibited inside the premises of Phoenix island but technically they still haven't entered the Phoenix island, so there's nothing stopping Porter from killing those two"

"Pass me those biscuits" the few people near Michael and Gaya raised their brows and stared at her while she was munching on the biscuits and watching the scene.

Michael who was watching the scene calmly became curious to know how Noah is going to handle the situation.

While watching the calmness on Noah's face despite the shit he was in and the sword on his back as well as his 3-star Alchemist status made Michael think of him as his rival.

The ape then turned his eyes towards the girl and spoke

"Hahaha, we are going to have such a gre-"

But suddenly it stopped talking. Michael saw a bright beam shoot out from Noah's body and the next moment, the pervy ape was sliced in half by the bright beam. It was separated into two parts, then it fell into the ocean, staining the surrounding water with blood.

"Respect women"

Noah only spoke those two words with a cruel tone. He had just killed another one from the Spring Garden sect, yet there was no panic or any signs of an urge to flee on his face. Just this attitude alone impressed even Michael.

No one expected this would happen. Noah was brave enough to kill another one from the Spring Garden sect on the spot. In their minds, he should be apologizing to them right now, because not only was he outnumbered, there was also a Core Strengthening stage Elder around somewhere in the island.

Even though Noah was a Body Refining stage level 5 cultivator, Michael had a feeling that none of the Spring Garden disciples are his match. The girl named Alicia also radiated an aura of a powerful cultivator despite her Body refining stage level 4 cultivation.

In Michael's mind, they seemed like an ideal mc and a female lead. One was a peerless handsome genius and the girl was an ice-cold kingdom toppling beauty.

This was the first time since he came to this world felt threatened by someone. Even when he saw Celina or Alex or any other prodigies he met, he knew they weren't his match, and them being stronger than him was only temporary. However, Noah's cultivation jumped from Body Refining stage level 4 to level 5 in a few days, his sword mastery, and the fact he's a 3-star Alchemist irked Michael.

At this moment, everyone was looking at Noah. As for those Spring Garden disciples, they had clouded expressions on their faces. Although they were angrily staring at Noah and Alicia with intense killing intents, none of them dared to attack. They might be arrogant, but they were not fools as they realized they were no match for Noah despite the fact they were Body Strengthening stage level 4 cultivators.

"You killed Minnie! Arrrrghh, wait till our Elder comes"

A disciple gritted his teeth.

"If you don't want to follow Minnie into the afterlife, get out of my face" Again Noah said in a cruel tone.

"Hmph! You are dea!"

Another man coldly harrumphed but right as he was speaking, Noah attacked once again. A longsword suddenly appeared in his hand, and with a casual fling, the sword slashed forward with lightning speed. It swept through the disciple's throat, and in the next second, a severed head flew high into the sky.

"60% mastery in swords" With the speed of his movements and the way he handled the sword, Michael could sense Noah's mastery over swords.

The disciples shouted out in disbelief. Their expressions changed dramatically in an instant. No one could have thought that this young man was such a daring maniac.

" Elder Porter!"

Another disciple immediately shouted out loudly at Phoenix Island.

"Since I already killed Milan and Minnie, it doesn't make a difference if I kill you all too" A cold killing intent erupted from Noah's body and swept across the scene. With a sway of his body, he flew on his flying sword towards the group of disciples like a breeze of wind. He swung the longsword in his again as all these disciples tried to fight back with their full strength yet, none of them was a match for Noah.

Aaahhh!!! …

Accompanied by some blood-curdling screeches, in just a few breaths of time, Noah killed every single disciple of Spring garden. Their bodies fell into the water and slowly sunk to the bottom of the ocean making the water turn red for a few seconds.

"He may be going to end up dead soon but I admire that guy's boldness. If I were him, I would definitely do the same! He was already marked for death when he killed Miyan or whatever he's called, killing a few others doesn't change shit" Evan Gaya seemed like she was impressed by Noah, and looking at her reaction, Michael realized if this Noah guy had a badass system, he would have earned at least 10k points by now.

******************

Bear with me guys, I know you want to see Michael being Michael but Noah is not a passing character or just a side character. He's a major character and he needs some screen time to mark his presence. I could have just established his character in just a few hundred words but I want my readers to read quality stuff, not some rushed work. Please be patient; when everything comes together in the future, it'll be worth it.

Besides, Michael could only be a super badass if has some badass rivals right?!
