Hitman With A Badass System

Suddenly a guard rushed into the main hall, his face filled with excitement but when he noticed Jane, he cowered like a scared cat. The guard wouldn't have felt excited if he knew what happened to Jane's guards. He just reached Bradford with Minister Liam, the fat old man who was waiting in the Majestic.

"What is it, Rio?" Looking at the guard, Tobias asked.

"There's a 5-star Alchemist in Bradford, Lord Totonk"

"WHAT?!" Tobias immediately stood up like his chair was on fire.

"Where is he? Is he coming here?! Why did no one inform me? Who is he?" Tobias ignored Jane's temper tantrum and rapidly fired questions at Rio.

"Father!"

"Lord Totonk, he opened up a shop in Bradford, Minister Liam is there to order some pills and potions"

"Let's go meet him now" A 5-star Alchemist was not a joke, if he could form a relationship with one, he could gain a massive advantage over Sarton Baron and who knew, he could even avoid war altogether.

"Do you know his name?"

"Lord Totonk, the people called him Ghost" and just when Tobias was about to take another step, he received a huge blow in the form of Rio's answer.

"What did you say?!" Tobias felt like he was going to faint as he looked at Jane with the mixed emotions of anger and uncertainty.

Of all the people in Bradford, she just messed with the one person who could have saved Bradford from going to war with Sarton. Thinking about this, he wasn't sure whether to blame himself for spoiling her too much or blame his bad luck.

"I don't care if he's a Six-star Alchemist, he must pay the price for his crimes"

"SHUT UP!" Tobias's anger exploded and his shout echoed through the main hall. Jane stumbled back a few steps as this was the first time she had seen her father angry at her. Even when she killed a Minister's son, he didn't shout at her like this.

"Do you not understand the seriousness of your actions? You messed with the 5-star Alchemist, people like him wouldn't be a nobody or some run of the mill rich brat who you can kill and punish as you wish!" The guard who escorted Jane back to the mansion informed Tobias about everything that happened at Bradford and what Michael said to Jane before he left.

'The reason I leave you alive is I don't like wars and I'm not going to start one with your family because of you. But if you mess with me again, you and all the Bradford will know the power behind me'

The words he spoke made more sense to Tobias now than it did before.

"Gather our men, Rio, we're going to greet this Ghost. I hope he's not furious at us"

"As you wish, Lord Totonk"

"Father, wait I'm coming with you!"

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

At this moment, Michael finished using the last batch of ingredients and heaved a long sigh. The ingredients might have run out on him but the crowd was much bigger than when he first started. However, he still had one batch of ingredients to brew Healing potion in his system storage as he expected the Baron to visit him soon. A large portion of the crowd came only to see the fiasco rather than buying his expensive products.

Michael stood up with a smile and shouted, "my dear customers, we're going to close the shop now"

Hearing that, everyone in the store was totally surprised.

"What the hell?"

"Are they going to close the store now?"

"No, Young Master Ghost, let me buy some Arch Energy boosters first."

"Yeah, I'm waiting here for so long!"

"Please! Don't do this!"

"Did we do something wrong, Young Master Ghost?"

Many people shouted as some even begged him not to close the shop. They were cultivators who had been stuck in their current stage for many years, and most of them had lost hope in making breakthroughs. People who had severe injuries hoped to treat their wounds with healing potions, those who polluted their body with various pills and potions hoped to revitalize their bodies by using the Revitalization pills, and finally people like the lord of Wincent family had a chance to breakthrough by taking the Arch Energy Boosters.

All of them now had found hope! Their long-lasting problem could be solved by Michael. He was their savior!

"People, We're not permanently closing the store but I've run out of ingredients and it'll take a day to get the special items I use. So there's nothing I can do" The crowd looked disappointed but they couldn't argue with him as he made a valid point.

"If you want to buy our products tomorrow, I'll be at my new shop in the Sun Rise sect. We open at seven in the morning and close at one o clock. Now leave the store in an orderly manner"

"You heard the man" Gaya stood up from her executive chair and motioned the crowd towards the door as Daniel and Ricky stepped forward to deal with the reluctant crowd.

"If you dare do or say something, we won't do any business in Bradford again!"

"This…" All the onlookers were tongue-tied and wearing gloomy expressions. Expressions of regret appeared in the faces of many people. They harbored bitterness in their hearts as they cursed themselves for having hesitated and not coming here soon. Before such a great temptation of 80% alchemy potions and pills, none of them could wait to come back the next day.

They all wanted to ask why he was moving the store from Bradford to Sunrise sect but having heard Gaya, they didn't dare to question Michael.

"Never mind. Let's go to the Sunrise sect earlier tomorrow," The onlookers turned around and walked to the outside in a line.

"Don't forget to bring your pay cubes tomorrow, we are not charity!" As they stepped out of the shop, Gaya shouted at them and chuckled happily.

"Not bad for a first day" At last Michael sighed in relief and smiled. Honestly speaking, Gaya contributed much to the successful first day. He was able to concoct and brew potions without worrying about the crowd only because of Gaya. The flood of people overwhelmed the two henchmen but Gaya handled the situation pretty well by keeping the crowd in line and throwing the bad crowd out of the shop. In simple words, she was like a mix between cute Manager and ruthless bouncer.

"You two go and have a break, meet us here in two hours" Michael ordered Daniel and Ricky.

"Yes, Master Ghost!" their voices now full of energy and they looked extremely happy like they hit the jackpot with this job.

After Ricky and Daniel left the shop, both Michael and Gaya plunged into the sofa. Previously he gave the space ring he got from Heaven's gate competition to Gaya, so she could store the gold coins inside rather than piling them in the shop before all the people.

"Tell me how much we earned?" he rubbed his hands in excitement as Gaya flicked her wrist. A bright light emerged from the silver space ring in her hand and then, huge neatly stacked gold coins appeared in front of them.

Whooow!

The glistening of the gold coins lit the room with a golden color. He had seen a stack of money before but this was the first time he saw a huge pile of gold coins this close.

"There are 359,000 gold coins. We sold 11 Arch Energy Boosters for 110,000 coins. 12 Revitalizing pills for 132,000 and 9 Healing potions for 117,000 coins. If we had more batches of ingredients, we could have milked the suckers dry" she let out a disappointed look.

"I do have one last batch of ingredients to brew healing potions"

"Good, I do expect the Baron to visit us" Gaya nodded, "And what did you ask the people to come to the Sunrise sect? What's wrong with this place? No one would dare to touch us now and we could even buy what we need from the Green Heaven"

"First of all, they would definitely raise their prices knowing what we are charging the people. Secondly, why should we go to the Green Heaven when we can grow our own herbs at the sect? We don't have to pay for the ingredients and we can promote the sect more by setting up the shop there" After hearing him, she took a couple of seconds to think about this and nodded.

"You are right and I don't think that bitch Jane would let us run a business in her city after what you had done to her guards. So what are you gonna do about the ingredients for tomorrow? We cleaned the sect's herbal guardian clean remember?"

"Don't worry about it, I got it covered" and when she was about to ask how, they heard galloping sounds and heavy footsteps. Michael looked outside through the dark curtain to see a group of soldiers dressed in metal plates and chainmail walking towards their shop.

"The Baron is here"
