Hitman With A Badass System

"Since Gerty's cousin and his wife did some fucked up shit as well as they had to leave the kingdom to attend a gala at Kethen, I guessed they would be the next target. Then, I followed them but not before taking that camera thingy we were using to monitor Dular as I had a feeling I might need that. Just like I guessed, when their carriage was passing through the forest, they were attacked by a group of highly trained beastmen"

"How high?" Michael asked.

"Gerty's cousin had four Level 10 and ten level 7 Core Formation warriors but it only took three level 8 Core Formation beastmen to take them down in just forty seconds. They came, attacked and disappeared just like that" Gaya said, snapping.

Michael's brows raised slightly hearing Gaya. Even three of him couldn't take fourteen Core formation warriors under forty seconds as the beastmen did according to Gaya.

"What happened next?" the baby dragon asked her curiously.

"What do you think? I followed them to their campsite but I couldn't get closer to the camps without alerting them as they had a magical barrier around the place. I waited there for an entire day, waiting for them to make a move, and the next day, I saw Quinn walking out of one of the huts followed by two frickin Core Strengthening level 3 beastmen. However that wasn't what surprised me, it was what happened next" she paused for a moment to build up the tension as the baby dragon slowly stood? up waiting for her to continue,

"The lackeys of Quinn came out of the hut carrying the bloodied bodies of Gerty's cousin and his wife. I knew something really fucked up was going on and followed them deeper into the forest until I saw them placing the two bodies in the middle of the forest. At first, I thought they were just leaving the bodies for the predators to eat but when I tried to get closer, I sensed another buried and this time the barrier was several times stronger than before. I knew I would be attacked by the barrier or get caught by the one who set the barrier so I kept a safe distance and used the rare mind-controlling scroll on a bird" contemporary romance

"Why did you do that?" The baby dragon questioned Gaya to see her roll her eyes.

"To strap the camera thingy around the bird's neck to get a bird's eye view" Michael felt proud of her. She did the right thing because the mini camera was bought from the system store and had no magical trace to it so barriers set by the cultivators couldn't detect the camera, this was one of the reasons that he used it to monitor Dular without the orc detecting the camera. Plus, the camera could be instantly connected to any glass orb that Gaya had in her space ring. The only downside of the camera was if it wasn't set by Michael himself, there wouldn't be any recording of the feed but it didn't stop Gaya from using the camera.

"As I was waiting for something to happen, the camera thingy got a picture of a cloaked figure who picked up the bodies and disappeared in a flash. The next day, the church and guardians declared that Minister Gerty's cousin and his wife were brutally murdered by Lucifer in their home"

"What makes you say it was the guardians who have been pretending to be Lucifer?" this time it was not the baby dragon but Michael asked the question.

"Think about it human, who could? bring the bodies into the kingdom and display the bodies in the daylight without alerting the holy guards or the guardians unless it was the guardians themselves"

"What about the church and holy guards?" he asked again as Gaya shook her head.

"I know the church and the holy guards, they won't go around murder people unless someone picked a fight with the church. Some of those dead nobles constantly paid donations to the church, although they were evil pieces of shit, they went to church regularly. Why would the church kill them to catch Lucifer? Besides, the priests won't let something like this happen as it would stain their image and the fake Lucifer is throwing up on their image. So that leaves us with one possible suspect, the Guardians. I did not see the cloaked figure and have no real proof to back my claim human but every fiber in my body is telling me it's the guardians"

"I trust your judgment" Michael agreed with her because what she said made sense to him. He knew it must be either the church or the guardians who had the resources and power to display the bodies in the daylight without alerting the guards. The good thing was all the dead nobles were evil so his image of evil killing Lucifer would not take a major hit because of the fake Lucifer but still, he had to tell the Royal land that it's not him, the real Lucifer who was killing the nobles.

If it was before he went to the treacherous ocean, he would have let the fake Lucifer run around as he did not have the chance to kill the nobles who were now protected by the holy guards and their own guards. However, with the Inventor Trait, he could assassinate them without getting closer to the nobles. Of course, it would require him to do a good old-fashioned stakeout, information gathering, and planning to assassinate them except he was great at those things.

"Do you still have the list of evil nobles in Royal Land?"

"Of course I still have it"

"Why are you two grinning?" the baby dragon asked, noticing the devilish grin on their faces.

"You will know soon, Dicky"

"Don't call me Dicky!"

"Ouch,"? the baby dragon lunged at Gaya, biting her hand mercilessly in anger.

"Speaking of Dicky, we need to name him" Michael put aside the list for a moment and said, pulling the baby dragon from her hand.

"We already did, his name is Dicky, hehehehe"

"Release me, I'm gonna take a bite out of her!" The baby dragon struggled to get out of Michael's clutch as he reached out his claws to at least scratch her. Looking at the furious baby dragon, she just stuck her tongue out to make fun of him.

Michael patted the baby dragon's head while thinking of a badass name suitable for a mighty dragon.

"Nightmare" after deep thinking, Michael found a name for his baby dragon.

"I don't like it, what about Assholan?"

"Bitch!"

"Hey!" Michael released the baby dragon as they both began to roll around the floor playfully fighting with each other. He grabbed the list to pick his next target.

It didn't take him long before his eyes landed on a familiar name, Minister Gerty. He did not need to ask what Minister Gerty did to end up on Gaya's list because if Gerty made it to the list, he must have done some evil shit, Michael knew it.

However, before he could start preparing for the assassination, he had another most important task to finish. He quickly took a piece of paper from the table before them and began to write a list of things he needed to finish the task as well as test his inverter skill.

"Dicky, you are just at the Foundation stage, you cannot hurt me," Gaya said flicking the baby dragon on the forehead.

" But I can still burn your clothes" the baby dragon revealed an evil smile as he quickly ran up to her neck and grabbed her neck from behind using his claws.

"The fuck?! Don't you dare, I just bought these!" she felt the baby dragon's body getting warmer and warmer, she struggled to grab him but the baby dragon easily avoided her hands thanks to his small body.

"Quit it you two" Michael laughed seeing the two play and fight like little children. Yet the two of them did not stop fighting until he used a low-powered wind blast to throw them onto the sofa.

"Do you know what happened to Ella and Mathias? I thought he would come here to make me apologize?" Gaya stopped fighting with the baby dragon as Nightmare flew into Michael's hand, tired of fighting.

"After I returned to the sect, I sent potions and pills to her so she could use them to earn the support of elders and some influential disciples. Three days ago she sent me a message that she has been convincing people to join her and so far everything's going well. Probably Mathias had forgotten about you in the midst of saving his seat"

"Make sure Ella stay alive, it's most likely that Mathias wouldn't go down without a fight"

Gaya simply nodded hearing him.

"How's the construction work of our restaurant going on?"

"Pretty well actually. We had no ambushes after the first reapers attack, so it's going on at full speed. The dwarf said the restaurant will be finished by the start of next week. And oh, Olivia is staying with Claire, and just like I said, Aragoth built a mini-portal for her to travel between Aragoth and here. Now we have? Aragoth and a Soul Refiner to protect our sect, so we should speed up the renovations and stuff" She felt excited thinking about how rich they would be after making Sunrise sect one of the best sects in Elon.

"Yes, we have a lot of work to do"
