Hitman With A Badass System-Novel

"Alright, System, I'll take this risk and accept the Sunrise sect my first base of Operations"

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Sunrise sect is now the Host's Base of Operation!]

Base of Operation: The Sunrise Sect

Current Leader: Claire Marigold

Level: 1

Debt: 450,000 Gold Coins

Number of Members: 34

Status: Declined

Legend: 0 / 1000 (Crappy old sect)

"System, what is this Legend, and what the hell is that debt amount?!"

[Legend is a type of evaluation points of the Base of Operation. The BOP must reach the points limit to upgrade it to the next level. As for your second question, The Current Leader can give you the answer]

The system didn't even wait for him to close the interface but threw him out

"Fuck!" he cursed the system in his mind and the scene in front of him resumed.

"Sect Leader Claire, Elders, I have an idea to get 500,000 gold coins"

"You do?" Elder Mark's face showed a surprised expression.

"I'm going to create an Alchemy enterprise" he calmly said but in his mind, he was excited to create something huge in this word and finally start earning real coins.

What's the point of being a 5-star Alchemist if he couldn't get rich?

"Slow your horse, hu...Ghost, we need to talk" His excitement was brought to a stop by Gaya's voice as everyone turned their gazes from Michael to Gaya.

"You are a 5-star Alchemist who can concoct pills with 90% purity, what does that tell you?" The Elders seemed like they had a sudden realization hearing her question but Michael just proudly grinned.

"I'm awesome" Gaya rolled her eyes and punched him in the shoulder

"It means you are the number 1 Alchemist among all four kingdoms of Elen Continent" The grin on his face got even brighter but the Elders looked frightened rather than being delighted about this. After seeing that he had no idea of what she's talking about, Gaya deeply exhaled and said

"It means you dethroned the Alchemy King Gabriel Keswick "

"I see your point" Michael realized what she's trying to say and the reason for the elders to be afraid.

"If he knew that you can concoct pills purer than him,best-case scenario, he would just kill you. The worst-case scenario is, he would enslave you and make you concoct pills and brew potions while he's reaping the fruits of your work. That's what I would do" Although what she said last shocked them slightly, they had bigger concerns now.

"Aelia is right" Elder Miles sighed and agreed with Gaya.

"Either way, you're fucked, Ghost" She really worried about his safety, not because she cared for him but if he died or enslaved, she wouldn't get the magical pills to heal her meridians. So for her sake, she had to do and say everything in her power to keep him safe.

"I assume you have a solution for this" He understood Gaya enough to know that the reason for her to worry about his safety was to get more pills from him.

"Although Gabriel can't guarantee 100% percent success rate of brewing positions, concocting pills, his outcomes are 84% pure. So, you must not reach 84%. Then, you will be second and I know him, he's too proud to mess with the second, or at least he wouldn't kill or enslave you "

"You know him, how?" Elder Reiner suddenly asked because even many influential cultivators would try their hardest to get an appointment with Gabriel, let alone, Aelia, a mortal girl.

"I mean I heard about him during my travels, so Ghost, I suggest you aim for something between 60 to 75% purity" She swiftly changed the topic back to Michael before the Elders dig too deep into her life.

"Are you kidding me? 80%, that's the worst I can do. It's mentally and physically impossible for me to concoct or brew anything less pure than that" The Elders and Claire opened their mouths to make him lower his level but after seeing the adamant look on his face, they shut their half-opened mouths.

"It's settled then. Aelia, tomorrow we'll set up our first shop" Gaya nodded as he turned back to look at Claire.

"Sect Leader Claire, give the heart healing pills to Elder Sandra, they would stop the Black bite from getting worse and make Elder Sandra feel better"

"I wish we had gold to help you start the shop, Ghost but..." Elder Mark's voice trailed and the other two elders looked a little embarrassed.

"It's fine, Elder Mark, I can take care of everything. From now on, we'll change our sect's future for the better" He said and walked away from the scene as Gaya followed him behind leaving the Elders and Claire to worry about Elder Sandra.

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

It took them both a couple of minutes to reach the home given to Michael.

"Are we in the right place?" Gaya tilted her head confused as the house in front of them looked different than what they saw an hour ago. The cobwebs and dust on the windows and wall were nowhere to be found. Little green saplings replaced the dried plants on the lawn. Plus, there was noise coming from the inside along with a mouth-watering aroma of cooking.

"Did we leave the door open?"

"No shit" Micheal walked towards the house when a familiar face came out to greet them both.

"Young Master, Young Miss" It was none other than Raylene and she had two glasses of lemon juice on a tray.

"Thank you for cleaning the place, Raylene"

"It's the least I can do for you, Young Master. I should have told you before taking the liberty of cleaning the place" Raylene smiled as Michael took the glass and drank it before scanning the drink, just in case.

Gulp!

Considering the lemons she used to make the drink was bought from the shop and had Arch energy-infused at the molecular level of the lemons, the juice was rich in fragrance and taste. Looking at Michael gulping the drink, Gaya grabbed the second cup and chugged it before he drank it himself.

"That was refreshing. Raylene, how would you like to earn some gold coins?"

"Bastard is going for it...hehehe" The smile On Raylene's face froze hearing him while Gaya giggled inside having some nasty dirty thoughts because what can the woman actually do to earn some gold coins rather than pleasing him physically. After all, he was a youth and Raylene was a good-looking woman.

"Young Master..." Raylene's body trembled as Michael quickly realized that she's thinking something else.

"Soon, I'm planning to open up a few shops, and I'd like you to come and work for me as a cook, Raylene"

"Oh?!" Raylene let out a short squeal and deeply exhaled as Gaya frowned.

"Let me know what you think later, Raylene "

"Yes, Young Master, I will work for you" Raylene was relieved realizing that he's not going to ask her to be his mistress as it was not unusual for a powerful youngster like him to have many mistresses.

"Good, now go and take care of Cindy, We'll eat later" Raylene nodded and ran back inside the house to put the tray and glasses back.

A few minutes after Raylene left, Gaya and Michael plunged into the comfy sofa to discuss their plans for tomorrow.

"Are you going to tell me?" Gaya asked skeptically.

"Tell you what?"

"What made you suddenly change your mind and help that old woman? I saw you, Human, you would have brewed the potion to cure the old woman for free, but you had no intention to buy the items yourself, at first. But I saw you change your mind in a few seconds, so I'll ask again, what made you change your mind in those few seconds?"
