Hitman With A Badass System

Successfully buying the building to set up their Alchemy business, Michael and Gaya once again took on a stroll through Bradford.

Bradford was a huge flourishing city. As Gaya led him throughout the city, they came across several thriving streets of Bradford.

Then the two finally came to a stop right in front of a massive building with the words, "Green Heaven" written in elegant calligraphy.

"Human, this is the biggest treasure store in Bradford. If you want anything rare or valuable, you can find it here. Also, they have the biggest collection of everything we need to set up our business" He noticed that she uses the word 'we' more often and begins to be a team player.

"Let's go inside then"

Within Green Heaven, many richly dressed men were walking around along with several sturdy-looking guards that were all looking with an attentive gaze at the merchandise around them.

"Look at that, idiots looking for fancy items to add to their collections, what's the point of spending millions of gold for a single painting?" She said glaring at the group of people who were checking out a fancy painting. He agreed with her in his mind as he too had the same thought when he saw people spend millions on french paintings or weird statues.

He only spent his money on mansions, guns, and video games that had a practical use.

"I miss my Xbox, PlayStation and my PC" he sighed inside and continued to follow Gaya.

"The first floor is mainly for useless things for rich good for nothings"

Afterward, Michael and Gaya climbed up to the second story. As Michael approached the second floor, two soldiers in full metal plate armor blocked his path to the stairway. One of them looked at Michael before speaking out politely, "My Lord, my lady, show us your way of payment before entering"

"Human, take out the gold coins" She whispered to him and said to the guards

"We don't use pay cubes, we deal with cold hard coins" Michael retrieved the remaining gold coins and stacked them before the guards.

"Can we go inside now?" Gaya said, "Of course, please enter my lord, my lady!" The two men instantly gestured for him to go past them.

Pay cubes were a way of storing and saving money, within the Elon continent, the color of the pay cube also signified one's wealth. It was a symbol of status that was a requirement for entering some businesses.

Fortunately, Abras's memories had some knowledge about the pay cubes so he was not entirely clueless.

"Where do I get a pay cube?" after entering through the door, he quickly asked Gaya.

"Of course you don't know, you can't get a pay cube whenever you want, you need to have at least 100 thousand gold coins in your pocket. And then, you can get one from a Grand spire bank branch"

"Remind me to get one"

"I'm not your notebook you know" she rolled her eyes but he knew she would do that.

Throughout the entire floor, there were many strange and bizarre plants and items on display. Ranging from many different colored flowers to strange lumps of iron. There were even many animal parts and organs in glass bottles. Among the items, there was a small pile of iron sand. The iron sand was darkly colored and exuded a constant black flame. Nothing for fuel but the air around it, the fire burned constantly without ever being extinguished. Aside from that, there were a few other strange crystals that glowed brightly along with a few ancient looking Alchemy furnaces. In short, there were many fantastical things to be seen, some from the past and many weren't ordinary-looking things at all.

The Second Floor of the Green Heaven didn't have as many people as the first floor. There were only twenty expensively dressed men that casually walked around and selected an item that caught their interest.

"Stop gawking around, human, you're embarrassing me" of course, he gawked around as a child entered a museum for the first time. Every time he thought that this world couldn't surprise him anymore, new things would do just that. In his previous time, he had to avoid going to public places in his free time as there was a risk of exposing himself. Even though none had seen his real face, he preferred better to be safe than sorry. So places like these brought the child inside him. Gaya exaggerated things by saying he's embarrassing her but in truth, she liked messing with him.

She dragged him to the counter herself after he had taken too long gawking around. Right in front of them on a counter were countless bizarre-looking plants, items, and crystals. He already decided what kind of pills and potions he's going to make and everything he needed in his mind.

Calling over the manager of the second floor, he placed a list on the counter,

"I need everything in this list"

The manager was a white-haired elder. Although he was quite old, both of his eyes shined brightly as if both pupils were a shining star. The manager looked at the list and then him as if to size him up before speaking with a small smile,

"My lord, the items in this list, are you an apprentice of an Alchemist?" Gaya became irritated about the old manager's inquiry as she was about to open her mouth for a snooty reply, Michael kicked her leg.

"Ouch"

"Something like that, Manager Ti"

"We have everything on the list, my lord but the total price will be rather high" Manager Ti took a few seconds to do the math and said

"How much?"

"6000" Place as big as this and popular as this wouldn't swindle a customer like roadside stores, therefore, even though Gaya wasn't completely certain about the price of the items in the list, she nodded when he looked at her. Besides, she knew that the prices are fixed and no point in negotiating.

"I'll take it"

"Stop following me! You're irritating me to death."

He was about to take the gold coins when he heard a girl shouting. He momentarily stopped and turned back to see a few people entering the floor. He counted ten bodyguards who adorned silver kevlar like armor and held spears in their hands. They seemed to be following a young woman who shouted a moment ago at the young man who was trying to persuade her while following her. The girl seemed to belong to a wealthy family.

Both Gaya and him looked at the young girl. She was good-looking and suddenly, the angry girl's eyes fell on Micheal as he was in the midst of staring at her. She shouted, "You lecher! What are you looking at?"

Michael was taken back by surprise as the young girl had decided to take out her anger on him. Although the girl seemed to be at Body refining stage 3, the guards around her were at Body Strengthening stage 2 and 3 which indicated the mighty background of this haughty girl. Hence, he decided to ignore her rather than say something that could bring unnecessary trouble.

"What is with me and angry girls?" he ignored the girl and turned his gaze at the manager back. Gaya, on the other hand, looked at the girl from top to bottom and when she noticed the symbol the guards had on their chests, she quickly turned around.

But when the young girl noticed him ignoring her without showing any emotions, she became more enraged and shouted at him, "You rascal, no point of turning your head now, I saw you gawking at me, haven't you seen a beautiful girl before?" It was true that he was an assassin and always preferred to avoid as many troubles as possible but now, the girl crossed the line. If he didn't say anything now, he wouldn't be a badass, would he?

"Excuse me" Gaya knew very well that he has two sides of him, one side of him was the funny cool calm side and the other was the evil cruel killer side. Now she could tell the other side of him sticking its head out.

"I never gawked at you, I just heard you shouting and turned my head, like everyone else in this room," he said and then pointed his finger at the youngster who was following her in the first place

"If you have one guy following you, it doesn't mean you are the miss world and everyone is courting you" When he finished replying to the girl, everyone was dumbfounded, especially Manager Ti and the bodyguards.
