After sending Gay to leave Arria near Kethen, Michael was staring at his status page with a gloomy face. No matter how many badass points he earned, they would disappear just like that. The stronger he got, the more badass points he needed.
"Now that I have Majestic and will soon open the restaurant, I should upgrade Banker function"
[30,000 badass points will be required to upgrade the Banker function to level 4. The conversation ratio will be 1000 gold coins to 20 badass points]
"It'd be a good idea to auction some of the herbs and spell scrolls I got from the Nether Realm" Michael decided to go to an auction hall to sell some of the less useful items in his storage. He had many Rare spell scrolls and herbs that would fetch a great price.
"Also, I have to meet Nathen's uncle" Deciding his next two destinations, he rested on the throne waiting for Gaya to get back.
After waiting for another half an hour, she arrived at the Abyssal.
"I left her at Kethen's border, do you think it's a good idea sending her alone? I heard security in the slaves mines are pretty tight, if she tried anything stupid, she would be killed"
"That's why I gave her the scroll, even if she had an idea to escape, she would be forced to use the scroll because of the security"
"How do you know about her brothers anyway?"
"Surprisingly that clown had a habit of writing a diary" Michael threw the diary to Gaya.
"Reading others' diaries is fun," she said excitedly catching the diary.
"Do you know a good place to auction a few things?"
"Oh?" she sounded surprised,
"Why?"
"I need gold coins, a whole lot of gold coins," Michael said even though he knew that she would wonder why he needed so many gold coins.
"There's a Phoenix auction manor branch in Kingdom Kethen, they host high-end auction on the weekends"
On the contrary to Michael's expectations, she did not ask him why.
"You aren't going to ask why I need so many gold coins?" Michael was really curious as he directly asked her.
She did not give an answer but calmly walked at him before sitting on his lap.
"I said we shouldn't have any secrets between us and you still seem to have a few secrets of your own, I'm not going to ask you to reveal them all because I trust that you have a good reason not to tell me. Whatever the reason is, I know you will tell me when the time's right"
Michael's heart immediately warmed hearing her. He just lifted her mask and kissed her full of love and passion. If the system was just a system as he thought when he first came to the world, he would have decided to keep the system's existence a secret from her forever but he was proved wrong, the system was not just a system. He knew that in the future he will have to fight otherworldly supreme beings to protect him and the system, at that time, whether he liked it or not, he would have to reveal the system's existence because she was not only his soul mate but also a powerful being who could help him in the battle.
"Wow, that was...intense," Gaya said, taking her lips away from his.
"Shall we return to the sect, my queen?"
"Yes we shall, my king"
**************************************
"How dare they attack innocent people in the domain of the Winston family?!"
In the backyard of Winston's family compound, Sabrina Winston, the second daughter of Lord Angus Winston was barking like a mad dog.
"Calm down Miss, we have already sent men to investigate the bandit attacks" Samuel, an old butler who was serving the Winston family for many decades pleaded with the young girl.
"Now that I'm back, I will personally bring those evildoers to justice" Sabrina unsheathed her sword from the sheath that was adorned with little blue roses.
"Please don't do anything rash Young Miss, at least wait for Young Master Noah. The Young Master said he's coming here in a couple of days"
"Big brother is coming?! Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" The anger within her eyes vanished instantly when she heard the news of her brother's arrival from Samuel.
Samuel sighed in relief thinking this would keep the young miss in the home.
"Then it's more important for me to get rid of those bandit bastards before big brother comes. What do the other guardians think of him if his own homeland was infested with bandits?"
"At least let me put together a team, Young Miss," Samuel sighed. He thought saying her brother is coming would keep her in the home but now he realized he just made her even more willful to go after the bandits. Ever since she was a little girl, she had a heroic spirit just like her other siblings.
This heroic spirit earned her a place in the Holy Trident Academy, one of the best academies in the Elon Continent for girls. Samuel felt proud of the son and daughters of Lord Angus like they were his own grandchildren. He watched Noah grow into a capable young man and get into the Guardian Guild, he watched Young Miss Rowena, Noah's elder sister become the holy maiden of Sky hall, an existence that could be compared to the Great Nine clans and he watched Young Miss Sabrina becomes the youngest disciples of Holy Trident Academy.
While thinking about the three, a sliver of sadness emerged in Samuel's eyes but the old butler quickly hid it before Sabrina could notice.
"Uncle Samuel, what are you waiting for? I'll go out looking for the bandits the first thing in the morning"
"I'll go put up a team to accompany you right away, Young Miss"
Sabrina sheathed her sword, rolling her eyes
"Just make sure they don't slow me down"
"Of course, Young Miss" Samuel bowed deeply before leaving the garden area to assemble a team to go with Sabrina. Since all the reports he received mentioned that all the bandits were at the Body Refining stage, he knew Sabrina, A Body Refining stage level 4 warrior and a team of Body Strengthening warriors would eradicate the bandit problems.
"Samuel, when will Noah arrive here?" Just as Samuel was leaving the garden area, he heard a gentle voice as he turned to see Diana Winston, the Lady of the House Winston.
She walked towards him through the garden full of flowers. Golden, long wavy hair neatly coiffed to reveal a lovely yet worried face. Big, round golden eyes, set narrowly within their sockets, one could see a faint black circle under her eyes. Her face contained a gentle smile but also a deep sorrow.
"My lady," Samuel bowed, greeting her with a smile.
"Young Master Noah will be here in a couple of days, you don't have to worry my lady"
"I'll always worry about my children, Samuel,"? Diana said, looking at the last of the sun rays at the horizon.
"Have you found an Alchemist capable of brewing the potion of phoenix?"
"I've already sent the men to Lord Gabriel's house requesting his help, my lady. Considering Young Master's status as a trainee guardian, he might help us. I also sent men to the Sunrise sect asking for their 5-star Alchemist? but I don't think he could brew the potion of phoenix"
"It's the young man named Ghost right?"? Diana asked Samuel as he was surprised by the fact that she knew about him.
"Yes, my lady. How do you know his name?"
"Maids love to gossip, Samuel. Why do you think he cannot brew the potion? if what I heard was right, he seemed to be a very talented young man" contemporary romance
"He may be a 5-star Alchemist my lady but he's too young, he cannot be compared to Lord Gabriel who has been in the alchemy fields for decades. That young man's age is only a quarter of Lord Gabriel's experience"
"You cannot gauge talent with age, Samuel. You should know this better than everyone else"
"Yes my lady, forgive me for my ignorance"
Since Noah was little, he would share everything with Samuel as he considered the old man as family. Because of their relationship, Noah admitted that he got the spot in the Guardian guild because Ghost rejected in the first place. Although Samuel knew Noah would have gotten the spot eventually, he couldn't help but feel a slight bitterness towards Ghost. The old man's heart refused to believe that this Ghost is better than his Young Master.
********************************
"Boss, we received a message from our inside man. Sabrina Winston is coming looking for us tomorrow morning"
"Wonderful, let see how that brat feels when I send his little sister's head and body in two different parcels"
At the moment somewhere else in Kethen two men were plotting their revenge against Noah Winston. They prepared to give Sabrina a nasty surprise but they had no idea that someone far worse than Sabrina is on his way to Kethen...
