Hitman with a Badass System

Chapter 90 - The Playground Of Powerful Men II

The pink uniformed disciples looked at Michael with some hesitation as Solomon stuttered in fear, "You...you have no...idea what've you done. If you….come-"

His words stopped coming out of his mouth as he saw Michael moving towards him. Overwhelming fear paralyzed the other two disciples behind him and the girl and stood there shivering.

Michael said nothing. He just stopped moving for a second before his body shook slightly before appearing instantly right in front of Solomon.

With the broken arrowhead right between his fingers, he made a fist and

slammed it into the face of Solomon with no fancy movements.

"Ah!" Solomon cried out in agony as he tried to cover his face in instinct.

However, Michael grabbed him by the neck and punched him again and again and again and again.

"AAAAHHHHHHHH!"

Zzzzzhhhhhhh!

Zzzzzhhhhhhhh!

Looking at the ravaged face of their friend, Solomon, the disciples screamed out aloud as their scream reverberated the Crystal ocean.

But two bolts of lightning through their heads cut their cries short.

Immediately after ignoring the continued rings inside his head, his body disappeared and reappeared right in front of Maria.

"Kill...her...Ghost" From behind, Michael heard Gaya's weak voice.

Michael still didn't know what happened back there but he had a gut feeling that everything started because of this girl before him.

"Don't….kill..." her words barely escaped her mouth as Michael's hold around her neck tightened. Although he slaughtered the male disciples, when he grabbed the girl and raised his hand, the crowd looked flabbergasted.

"Stay your hand!"

At this critical moment, a loud shout echoed out from the inner area of Phoenix Island. The shout was so loud that it sounded like a thundering roar. It swept across Phoenix Island and stirred the ocean waves. After that, everyone saw a man with a powerful aura and grandeur rushing over with great speed. In just the blink of an eye, he appeared a few meters away from Michael.

This adult man was in his forties. Behind him stood the girl who collected the entry fee before and a group of soldiers in armor. However, his armor was much shinier and mightier than that of those soldiers behind him. The entire armor was covered with countless symbols, giving it a touch of mysteriousness. His angular face carried a domineering expression, causing him to look mighty and vigorous. His aura was actually surpassing Porter and matched the aura of Victor.

"That's Lord Julius! Never thought he would come here."

"Lod Julius?!, what an incredible cultivation power! Core Strengthening stage level 5"

"Since Lord Julius is here, that young girl might be safe now"

......

Lord Julius's arrival had attracted many eyes. He was one of the most influential men in the Elon Continent and the greatest man of this auction fair. No one dared disrespect him even a bit. For those who had come here from afar, they felt their effort had just paid for itself just by getting to someone great with their own eyes.

Micheal also turned his gaze away from the girl and threw his glance at Lord Julius. The man had bulging muscles, a tall body, and long brown hair.

Michael was slightly shocked because even though Julius looked mostly human, he could sense an animalistic aura and see furry sideburns as well as a hairy neck. In Michael's mind, he slightly resembled the beast in X-Men movies except this man had fair skin instead of blue.

Julius looked down and saw the blood on the ocean's surface. His face turned cold and unfriendly.

"What's happening here?"

"System, if he tried to attack us, activate the teleportation scroll and get us to safety" He opened the system to give it an order and momentarily slow the time to plan his next moves.

[Yes]

Lord Julius stared at Michael with an unfriendly expression. He had held the auction fair for a long time, and the rules set by him were final; no one ever dared break them. Breaking the rules set by him was equal to disturbing the peaceful order of the trade fair, and it also meant that the person didn't take his words seriously. The killings may have happened outside the airspace of the Phoenix island but once they paid the entry fee, they would become a guest of the Phoenix manor and he wouldn't let his guests kill each other because it was bad for business.

"What's your name?"

"Ghost."

Michael replied and he had no fear on his face.

"Why did you kill them?" Julius asked and expected Michael to let go of the girl but unlike his expectation, Michael didn't let go of Maria.

"They tried to kill my friend" He coldly answered. If he wasn't a Core Strengthening stage cultivator, Michael would have killed him by now because they broke the no fighting on Phenix island rules and almost killed Gaya yet Julius had done nothing to prevent that.

After Julius's sudden appearance, the people saw more Core Strengthening cultivators who entered the island previously also making their appearance. Noah and Alicia greeted Xanali and Peyton with a nod and stared at the scene in silence but Noah noticed the sudden change of expression on both Xanali and Peyton's faces when they saw Ghost.

Noah could tell they knew him by looking at their face. On the other side, Paul and Victor also appeared out of nowhere but remained silent and let Julius deal with Michael.

Lord Julius was a ruthless demi-human, and he wouldn't just stick to one style when dealing with people. Many expected him to kill Ghost on the spot because of the way he looked and answered Julius. Despite standing in front of a Core Strengthening stage cultivator, there was no anxiety or fear could be seen on his face but instead, he still seemed cold.

"Don't you know the rules of Phoenix island? No killing" Julius's voice sounded loud and cold. Michael felt immense pressure building up around him.

[Energy devourer activated...]

[Experience points converted 10000]

[Experience points converted 15000]

[Experience points converted 18000]

Suddenly Michael heard the system's voice in his mind and realized Julius was trying to suppress him by using his cultivation pressure on him. Julius's cultivation pressure was solely focused on Michael and because of that and the way Julius controlled his Arch Energy, anyone under the Core Strengthening stage didn't notice or feel the pressure. When Julius saw him withstand his pressure, there was a hint of shock in his eyes. Victor scanned Michael from head to toe while Paul stared at the mortal girl behind him and had a sense of familiarity.

"They tried to kill my friend on the Phoenix island, why didn't no one stop them?" The pressure disappeared after he questioned Julius. The question made Julius turn and look at the girl beside him who looked anxious and nervous. Soon after turning his gaze away from the girl, Julius coldly said,

"It's me and my men who decide the punishment for such crimes, not you. Let go of the girl or"

"Or what?"

"You'll become an enemy of the Phoenix manor!"

Lord Julius coldly harrumphed and became hostile. His words sounded so loud as they almost gave many weak-hearted cultivators a heart attack.

"Gho...st" Gaya tucked his sleeve and tried to let go of Maria. She wanted to kill Maria more than Michael but she knew it's impossible to kill Maria now since Julius has ordered Ghost to let go of her. Besides, she had more pressing concerns than killing Maria.

"If you ask politely, we might consider helping you Ghost" Peyton moved forwards a little and snickered. Michael slowly turned his sharp gaze at Peyton.

"I don't need the Guardians to save me" the crowd was again taken aback by the tone of his voice. He sounded colder and hostile. Before Peyton could say anything he turned to look back at Julius. For a few seconds, one could hear nothing except for the waves as they stared at Michael for his answer.

And then after a few seconds of silence, he opened his mouth

"And I don't give a fuck about Pheonix manor. She hurt my friend, so she will die"

….

Michael's words brought a storm to the crowds as Julius's face turned dark in anger.

"Oh heavens! This Ghost is really a daring guy!"

"He's dead, he is D-E-A-D!"

"He not only offended a guardian, he even disrespected Lord Julius in front of all these people"

"You little bastard! Do you think you can come to my island and disrespect me and leave this place alive?" Julius's killing intent skyrocketed as many people moved a few meters away from Julius terrified.

"Brat, are you really going to get yourself killed for a mortal girl?" Paul moved forward and asked before Julius could strike him down.

"Old man, she's my friend and that's all it matters to me" Paul helpless shook his head and said, "well, nice seeing yah brat"

Paul moved back to where he was before while Victor glanced at Michael with a small grin on his face.

"Prepare to die!" After these words left Julius's mouth, a gigantic bear claw appeared from Julius's hands and stunned everyone in the scene.

"What if he could leave this Crystal ocean alive Julius? " Just as everyone was staring at the gigantic bear claw made of Arch Energy of a Core Strengthening cultivator, they heard a voice.

Then in a flash, Victor appeared beside Julius, "humph, if he can move  10 meters away from where he's standing now, I will let him and that girl live"

Michael didn't need any help from Victor however, he knew Victor was trying to make an ally.

"Kid, do you think you can kill that girl and escape a Core Strengthening cultivator's wrath?"

"Watch me"
