Hitman With A Badass System

Chapter 571: Future Plans III

The next day Michael woke up early and went straight to Hades before sunrise.  He had a whole of things planned ahead and decided to start the day with some strongly brewed coffee.  After the ambush, Michael hired Lord Malan to provide twenty-four-seven security to Raylene, Hades, and the Majestic. Hence, when Michael and Gaya arrived at hades, they were greeted by two Core Strengthening stage guards.         

    

"Lord Ghost, Lady Aelia," the two guards flanking the door bowed their heads as Michael and Gaya entered the Hades. The newly renovated Hades looked glamorous and fancier than before. Although she hated Fovar, the dwarf, she couldn't help admiring his skills. Basically, it felt like she had entered another world.      

"God I missed the smell of this place," Gaya took a long whiff of the air and looked around the restaurant for a few moments before walking towards the table designated for them.     

"Oh my god," As they sat down, Gloria, who walked out from the back door, almost jumped and gasped in shock.     

"Master Ghost, Miss Aelia!"      

Michael was surprised too as he didn't expect Gloria to be here this early.     

"You're early," Gaya exclaimed,     

"I always come early to see everything's in perfect condition, Miss Aelia. It's not much but always helps to keep the flow running smoothly,"     

Michael appreciated Gloria's hard work. There was a reason why Michael paid a high wager to Gloria.     

"I heard you're planning to open up another branch in Royal Land. Come on take a seat," Gaya gestured at Gloria to take the seat before them.     

At first, Gloria felt hesitant even to look them in the eyes. But after spending time with Ghost and Aelia, she had grown to respect them more rather than fear them. So instead of wasting their time being reluctant, Gloria took the seat.     

"Tell me about this place," Gaya asked.     

"Well, it's located in the noble district, close to the garrison. Nice safe spot, big three-story building and newly built,"     

"Sounds great. Any problem buying it?"     

"The owner of the building is King Kramer's cousin. He is playing a little hardball,"     

Gaya creased her brows because she sensed a reluctance in Gloria's voice as though she was hiding something.     

"Gloria,"     

After hearing the deep tone, Gloria just sighed.     

"It's just that guy's look, Miss Aelia. It doesn't feel right. It doesn't feel right the way he looks at Lady Raylene. I don't think he is asking for coins,"     

"Argh I hate this," Michael scratched the back of his head. The last thing Michael wanted was to make an enemy out of King Kramer. Unlike King Bredia, King Kramer was an influential figure and the king of the most powerful kingdom in Elon.     

"Did you look for another place?" asked Gaya hiding the anger from showing on her face.     

"Yes, but they are not as good as this. That's why we've been thinking of opening a branch somewhere else,"     

"That's a good idea. It's troublesome to deal with these spoiled young masters," Gaya sighed. Although Gloria was slightly surprised, she felt relieved.     

"As you wish Miss Aelia,"     

While talking, Michael saw Raylene walking through the door and was surprised to see Ghost and Aelia.     

"Here she is, my favorite cook in the whole world,"

"Miss Aelia," Raylene dashed at Gaya and hugged her tightly.      

"Core Formation level 7," Michael admired Raylene's cultivation level. It was apparent to him that despite her busy schedule, Raylene was spending time cultivating as he instructed her.     

"It's so nice to see you. Where have you been?"  Gaya made Raylene sit beside her and ruffled Raylene's golden hair.     

"You are glowing," Gaya commented on Raylene's silky smooth, glowy skin, making Rayene blush.     

"How about we all have a freshly brewed coffee and talk?" Michael felt bad to interrupt their reunion but he wanted that coffee to kick his brain to plan his next moves.     

"Give me ten minutes, and ill bring coffee with Miss Aelia's favorite cookies,"     

"You are such a treasure," Gaya pinched Raylene's cheek to the point it turned red as a ripe tomato.     

"You can go ahead with your work Gloria," Michael sent away Gloria so he could start planning with Gaya.     

"You are not going to kill him huh?" Michael raised his brows, showing his disbelief.     

"Of course. My word is my bond," Michael chuckled seeing her placing her three fingers on the chest.     

"But that doesn't mean he won't die. Aria's in Bradford right?" Michael nodded. When Michael met Aria last time, he ordered her to escort her brothers to Bradford and contact Sadie to get the twins into the military.      

Thanks to Sadie, Titus and Optimus had become the soldiers of Bradford's army and waiting for the Dark Lord's further instructions.     

"Its time she does a little reconnaissance in Royal land,"      

"What are you planning?" Michael asked curiously.     

"A pervert fucker like him can't live without gala and parties. I bet he's having a party this weekend,"     

"So?"     

"So we crash the party," Gaya shrugged.     

"We can't. He dies, and we might become suspects,"     

"Not if he goes nuts and kills himself," Gata grinned devilishly as Michael understood her plan.     

If someone killed that young master, the guardians or the king's guards might make the connection to Michael. However, no one would bat an eye if he went nuts and killed himself as Gaya said. Fortunately, Michael happened to know how to make him go crazy.     

"Where is Elidyr? He should have gotten out by now," Gaya watched the rising sun through the window and wondered.     

"While we are waiting for him, tell me where I get these things," Michael quickly scribbled a list of things on parchment and slid it towards Gaya,     

"Black Ikory, clean-cut sapphires, meridian ore, ]ritsburry oil…" Gaya read through the list of items and looked confused after reaching the list's end.     

"What the heck are you planning to do with all these items? You can't get these items in a common auction house. Most of these items are pretty rare. I know someone who could get these items, but I don't think you'll like him,"     

"Who?" Michael asked.         

    

"Lord fricking Julius of Phenox Island,"     

"Cool,"     

However, Michael surprised Gaya with his calm tone.     

"We'll send Daniel to meet Julius on my behalf,"      

"Wow, I thought you will be mad or…"     

"Or what throw a tantrum? Look, I am a Fusion Stage cultivator now. Holding a grudge against a puny Core Formation or Core Strengthening man is beneath me. Honestly, I don't think Julius is holding what I did against him either. Let's just send Daniel and get these items from him,"     

"When did you become such a saint?" Gaya couldn't help rolling her eyes as she kinda expected Ghost to go to phoenix island and decimate everyone in his path or atleast, kick Julius's butt. After all, Lord Julius tried to kill Ghost when he killed the group of youngsters who tried to kill Gaya.     

Yet, he proved her wrong by forgiving Julius.     

"But I get to kill him if he still acts like a bitch,"     

"Fair enough,"     

Unlike Before, Michael did not have to constraint himself from making enemies. On the contrary, it was the people of Elon who shouldn't make an enemy out of Michael. As a Fusion Stage cultivator, Michael had the power to wipe out many noble families and sects from the face of the world. At this point in time, only peak-level Fusion Stage or cultivators above them could stop Michael.     

As they were talking, another figure entered through the door and this time, it was Elidyr. He strolled toward Michael and Gaya like he owns the place with his head held high.     

"Look who decided to show up," Since they were in Hades, instead of bowing, Elidyr just nodded and took the seat before them.     

"Where is Nightmare?" as soon as Elidyr settled down, Michaela asked him about Nightmare.     

"The moment we got out, he went to meet you in the sect,"     

"I bet he is with Claire right now," Gaya chuckled, imagining Nightmare in a bathtub full of bubbles.     

"Elidyr," Michael nodded at Elidyr as the latter quickly drew a rune on the table. The dark red rune resembling a hawk glistened for a moment before vanishing into thin air.     

"Now no one will be able to hear us,"      

"Good,"     

"So now he is here, tell us what's our next move is?" Gaya asked Michael. To be honest, Gaya felt overwhelmed by the problems in front of them. Until now, their enemies had the advantage of being stronger than them. That had changed now. Therefore, Gaya wanted to tackle the problems head-on.     

"First things first, we need to finish what we started. We are going to Gisal and equip Big Bertha with mortar,"     

"Man, I need to see this mortar you two constantly nag about in action,"     

"Has they finished forging it, my lord?"     

"Hmm. Maxine will meet us at Corey's island with the mortar. After we finish that, I am planning to visit Aden. We can't delay making the southern continent our strong base anymore. On one hand, we have the mysterious clan of vampires who seemed to be far more powerful than we imagined. On the other hand, we have Skyhall and Guardians to deal with. So I think we will all agree when I say we turn the tables to our favor and conquer the Southern continent once and for all,"     

Gaya bobbed her head up and down excitedly.          

    

"But before we do that, we have an ally to make," Michael paused for a moment,     

"The Holy Church. I am going to make a huge sum of five million dollars donation in my name against the church's war against the Dark Lord,"     

"Ooh, I get it," after deeply thinking for a few moments, Gaya understood Michael's plan.     

"Don't tell me you don't get him. You are thousands of years old. Just use your old brain and figure it out. Why does Ghost need the Holy Church as his ally? "     

After seeing the amused look on Michael's face, Elidyr really started to pick his brain to understand his plan. As far as Elidyr heard from Michael, the Holy Church was hunting the Dark Lord in full force. Hence, he couldn't help wondering why Michael needed to meet the powerful organization that hunts him.
