Hitman With A Badass System-Novel

After waiting an entire hour for the dwarf's contact to arrive, Gaya lost her patience. Azazel had already warned her that Valmas was cleaning himself for some reason.

"Time to deal with the dwarves," Gaya sighed as she stood up from the floor. With a single leap, she shot into the air and dived down like a breezing wind. No dwarves were able to see her until she broke through the roof. The dwarves were completely caught off guard. They squealed and jumped back like scared cats.

"Wh the fuck are you?"

"You are trespass-"

The dwarves' words choked as they sensed her cultivation. Gaya waved her hand as a translucent dome appeared around them. The shield prevented any sounds from getting out. She didn't want the dwarves to scream for help. Although she could take down the entire kingdom singlehandedly, it was neither her intention nor worth her time.

"So which one of you assholes is going to tell me what you sold to Valmas?" Gaya scowled.

The dwarves gawked at each other, slowly reaching for the short axes dangling on their waists. For talented builders, the dwarves were stupid when it came to battle. They would rather fight an unwinnable battle head-on without a strategy than keep calm and plan ahead. Gaya's experience was limited when it came to dwarves. The longest conversation she had with a dwarf was about how to build a defense tower in the floating mountain.

Instead of warning the dwarves, Gaya waved her hand as a mighty wind blasted off the dwarves into the walls. The dwarves hit the wall with a thud and fell down, coughing and groaning in pain. Her figure quickly turned blurry. The dwarves saw her completely disappear from their sight. When she returned to where she was a moment ago, the dwarves felt something off. They instinctively reached for their axes but didn't find them. To their surprise, Gaya dropped their axes to the ground.

Then she dragged a chair and sat backward, looking at the trembling dwarves. Their big round eyes glistened with anger and shock. But despite their cultivation difference, the dwarves didn't show any fear like anyone else would have.

"The man I am working for wants all of you dead. But I am a merciful and reasonable person. Give me what you sold to Valmas, and we pretend like this never happened,"

Gaya talked calmly as the dwarves gawked at each other. They were startled, having no idea how the hell did she know about Valmas and the blueprint they sold to him.

"Also, Valmas wants you all dead. He would pay me handsomely if I brought him your heads. Either way, I am getting paid. The question is do you want to live or die," Gaya's voice became menacing. Still, the dwarves kept their mouths shut. As a result, Gaya lost her patient. She raised her finger as a green laser-like beam shot out of her fingertips. The next thing the dwarves heard was their leader screaming as loud as he could. Blood spurted out of his left knee. The dwarf groaned and cursed to high heaven.

"You are dead human,"

"When the news hits the city, our kind will hunt you down,"

The dwarves snarled at Gaya as she chuckled.

"Do you really think your kind can stop me?" Gaya asked. Perhaps if the dwarves put a quest with the Mogels, they might send some Soul Refiners after her. But the Mogels were known for their expensive price and forbidden cultivation techniques. She doubted the kingdom cared enough about some lowly dwarves enough to approach the Mogels in the shadows.

"Unless you want me to target something you treasure, I suggest you give me what I want,"

The dwarf leader closed his legs as his heart skipped a beat. Seeing Gaya's fingertip glow, the dwarf leader shouted.

"Wait, wait, wait. I'll give you what you want," the dwarf leader quickly put his hand inside his robes and threw a yellowish parchment to Gaya.

"You had a copy of the plans all this time,"

"Motherfucker,"

His dwarven buddies were not at all happy about the leader keeping a copy of the plan. If they knew this, they could have tried to sell the plan to someone else rather than wasting their time trailing Valmas. While the dwarves were bickering back and forth, Gaya opened the parchment to see a blueprint of some kind of crossbow.

"I have to say, I am disappointed," Gaya sighed. When she heard the dwarves being so secretive, she thought they sold something powerful to Valmas. But instead, it was a blueprint of a crossbow.

"I can't believe I wasted my time on this," She shook her head disappointedly before putting the blueprint into her space ring. Blueprints and new types of weapons were Michael's thing. Who knows, he might take a weird interest in the thing. After putting the blueprint into her space ring, she stood up from the chair and turned around.

She debated with herself whether to kill the dwarves or leave them alive.

Honestly, Gaya had no reason to kill them. She could always spin a lie to Valmas about what happened to the dwarves. After a bit of thinking, she decided to leave the dumb dwarves alone.

"I'll be in the city for a while. So I don't want to see your faces ever again here. Get out," Gaya's voice turned demonic. Her words rang inside their heads until their vision turned blurry. But when she took a step forward to leave the hut, the dwarves made the biggest mistakes of their lives. One daring dwarf threw a pebble at Gaya. It hit her in the head, halting her steps. The dwarves only realized the graveness of their mistake when she turned around with her eyes glimmering with killing intent. At that moment, they knew they fucked it up.

Gaya grabbed the chair she was sitting on and dragged it toward the dwarves. While the leader dwarf was screaming in pain, the others frantically looked for something that could be used to fight her. Their minds were blank as they didn't even think about using spells. Not that they had powerful spells in their arsenal. All their spells were more focused on picking locks, finding valuables, and running away.

The drunken whore was just as lively inside as it was on the outside. With neon lights, smoke effects, and dancing dwarves, the place was lit with liveliness. Almost everyone inside was dancing to their heart. Valmas was exhausted after dancing and drinking for an hour without a break. He sat in one of the booths built for VIPs. Purple curtains covered the booth and prevented anyone from outside from taking a look inside. Valmas's bodyguards flanked the booth from the sides. A while later, Gaya returned to the place.

The dwarven bodyguards stopped her in front of the booth.

"Where is he?"

"Let her inside, moron," Before Gaya could answer the dwarf, Valmas shouted from inside. She entered the booth, pushing aside the dwarf. When she entered the booth, she saw Valmas combing his hair and dusting off his beard.

"Well," Valmas looked at Gaya, wordlessly asking her about those who followed them. Gaya grabbed the pouch dangling on her waist and poured out its contents on the table before Valmas. The dwarf creased his brows. Some white things were covered in blood, and a handful of hair fell onto the table.

"Is that tooth?" Valmas asked, pointing at a bloody white thing. It took him a few seconds to recognize them. He was no stranger to blood and gory, but even he felt a bit freaked out seeing Gaya pouring down teeth, hair, and pieces of flesh onto the table. Moreover, Valmas could see her bloody fist and blood drops on her face.

"You asked me to bring their heads, but this is all I could find in their bodies after I was done with them,"

Gaya cracked her fists. After the dwarf hit her with the pebble, Gaya showed them hell on earth. She broke every bone in their bodies and almost killed them. When she was done with them, the dwarves wished for death. They became an outlet for her inner fury. Luckily for the dwarves, she didn't wish to kill them.  Otherwise, she wouldn't have given them healing potions and thrown them out of the city herself.

Since she was a pretty convincing liar, Valmas believed her without a doubt. Plus, he had more urgent things to worry about than some stupid dwarves.

"You seem tense," said Gaya as Valmas sighed.

"That obvious, huh? I have an important meeting coming up. This deal can change my life forever," the dwarf put down the wooden comb beside all the teeth and hairballs. He then took out a small piece of paper and handed it down to Gaya.

"I need you to go down there and make sure it's not a trap. Better to be safe than sorry," said Valmas. Gaya took a look at the piece of paper to see the name of an abandoned warehouse not very far from the drunken whore. This place was located in a relatively unpopulated area with plenty of escape routes if things went south. Whoever chose this place knew their stuff.

"Will do," Gaya turned around and left the booth without saying anything about the mole in the bodyguards. There was a possibility that Valmas would call off the deal if he felt cold feet after hearing about the mole. Valmas's schedule must go uninterrupted for her to get closer to the new weapons built by Han Torum. He was their only lead to get those weapons.

The human bodyguard looked tense as he should be. But Gaya didn't do or say anything that could tip him off. After leaving the drunken whore, Gaya headed straight to the meeting spot. Valmas wanted her to make sure it wasn't a trap, and she wanted to equip the place with enough Spyders to record their secret deal. Since the streets were filled with dwarves, she could see to the end of the streets. To her surprise, she noticed the carriage with the Guardian Guild crest parked on an alley near a tavern.

Coincidently, the tavern was called the mountain guardian. She would have been more surprised if she knew who was staying inside, Noah Winston.
