When the dust rose by their clash cleared, they saw Michael standing there without even a cut on his body. Everyone's eyes landed on him in aghast and the female guard couldn't believe what she's seeing.
"How could he survive that?"
"What spell he used?"
"There's not even a cut on his body!"
This kind of power somehow seemed too formidable to the crowd. He snickered again and brushed the dust off his shoulder as badass points kept increasing in the system.
"I don't know why your Young Miss picked a fight with me but it's not going to end well for you"
The guard beside Jane and Jane wore severe expressions on their faces. The female guard, Maria, who had fought him was already their strongest member. She had even executed the Morningstar sect's Sun Flare Art, and yet it couldn't even touch him. They had now realized why he was calm and cool in the face of battle with them. The female guardian was so enraged that she was shaking.
Although her cultivation strength was higher than him, her sword technique had been so easily dismissed by a teenager. This was difficult for her to accept. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
However, he didn't care about her anger at all as he casually walked towards her. Each step he took forward, she took a step backward subconsciously in fear. Gaya now strolled forward head high and her hands behind her back to join Michael to share bask in his spotlight.
"What is he planning to do?"
"Is he going to kill her?"
"Yeah I think so, he's crazy"
"I hope he breaks that bitch Jane's teeth"
"Shut up!"
The crowd looked at Michael with fear and excitement.
"Bastard! If you touch her!" On the other side, Jane screamed and struggled to free herself from the clutch of the guard. She didn't expect him to be so powerful even though she was warned by Celina.
But ignoring her shout, Michael clutched Maria's neck as she gasped for air and wiggled. She had used most of her Arch energy in her last attack and now, she didn't have much energy left to fight him. The system's red warning about killing a person already appeared in his mind, just like when the time at Heaven's gate competition.
Since he was not going to kill her, he ignored the warning and smiled at Maria wickedly. A cold chill ran through her spine when she saw his smile and before she could do anything, he punched her in the face. She felt like a hammer hitting her face and almost blacked out.
"No, stop!"
Almost at the same time, a cry was heard from afar and it was Jane who seemed boiling in anger.
However, he did not stop or let Maria go. His eyes were cold and without any hesitation, he continued to use her as a punching bag. Each of his punches had enough force to break her bones, and after rapidly landing twenty or thirty punches, Maria completely lost her consciousness and his fist started to ache.

….
A long series of system messages popped up and rang in his mind, In a matter of seconds, his Badass Points skyrocketed! He checked the total number of h Points on the interface screen and discovered that in the blink of an eye, he'd accumulated a total of 6,000 Badass Points!
But of course, if you take into account the 22,000 Badass Points that he still owed the system, then he was in fact still very poor—but this was indeed a good harvest.
"Bastard!" Jane cursed in an angry manner as she finally used Arch energy to break free from the guard's clutches. She then rushed towards him and leaped at him with a fireball in her hand
"Miss Jane Stop!"
"Wind Blast" Michael just sneered and raised his hands to send a wave of wind to blast her mid-air. Her anger and arrogance overcame her reasoning and as a price, she was sent flying before even she could attack him with the fireball.
"Ah!" The guard was quick enough to catch her in the air before she hit the ground and suffered some wounds.
"Lightning dash" And when she realized what just happened, Michael appeared before her. As much as Gaya loved to kill Jane, she knew what would happen if he killed Jane, therefore, she rushed towards Michael.
"Ah huh" the guard immediately placed his hand on his sword fearing that Michael would hurt Jane but Michael raised his finger and stopped him.
Jane's eyes contained uncontrollable anger than fear as he smiled,
"The reason I leave you alive is I don't like wars and I'm not going to start one with your daily because of you. But if you mess with me again, you and all the Bradford will know the power behind me" He said in a rather hushed voice as only Jane and the guard could hear.
"Let's go" He turned back and said to Gaya. She nodded and gave Jane the middle finger before following him behind. The crowd instantly moved away from his path and stared at him terrified but many youngsters who had a bitter experience with Jane looked at him with eyes full of respect and worship. He taught the little devil a true lesson today and earned their respect. contemporary romance
Many of course thought that he was afraid of killing her because of her status as Baron's daughter. But those can go screw themselves as far as Michael was concerned. Beating the guards alone messed up his plans and might bring him some bitter consequences, let alone killing Jane, which would bring down the wrath of a powerful local ruler.
That was why he bluffed about the power behind him to Jane. The reason he said quietly was he didn't want to scare off the potential badass points givers. How could he earn more badass points if everyone became afraid of him thinking that he has a mighty background?
He only wanted the Baron to think like that. A genius leader like him wouldn't act quickly without getting all his information checked, and if Michael's guess was right, the Baron would buy his bluff and would not do anything rash, at least for some time. Michael could use that time to grow in strength and forge powerful connections within Bredia.
"That bitch! Because of her, we couldn't buy what we needed. Human, what do we do now?" Gaya was pissed off about Jane messing with their plans.
"You tell me, it's obvious Green Heaven won't sell anything to us anymore, so we have to look for another store," He said but Gaya shook her head
"You don't understand human, no one would sell anything to you, the first thing she will do is blacklist you. So good luck buying anything in Bradford unless you reveal your star level to the Baron himself"
She was right and although he was extremely frustrated at the fact that he couldn't kill Jane, he calmed himself to think of another plan. He already bought the building for 20,000 and wasn't going to let the coins go to waste. However, he couldn't directly reveal his secret as he planned to surprise everyone after he opens the shop.
"Hmm, Sunrise sect has a herbal garden right? I have to use that, get in" he raised his sleeve and motioned her to attach herself to him.
Yet, she seemed reluctant, "You became too powerful, your soul energy will resist"
"So you can't attach yourself to me like before?"
"I can but it will be only for two or three hours," said Gaya.
"It'll be enough, come get in" He was relieved to hear that she could do that as he didn't want to buy anything from the system to remedy this situation.
She then closed her eyes and in a few seconds, she transformed into a small light ball. The light ball merged itself with Michael and when he saw his forearm, he saw the black snake tattoo appear again.
Together they dashed towards the Sunrise sect where Daniel and Ricky were waiting for them.
