Hitman With A Badass System

No matter how much Michael and Gaya explained, Lailah couldn't make sense of the situation. She knew the Dark Lord made no enemies in the Sea Folks, so she didn't think he was responsible for Harry's disappearance. Just the fact the shark-headed medallion came from the Sea Folk was not enough for her to accept Harry was taken into the Sea Realm. She still thought someone else had taken Harry. Since her son's life was in danger, she was not in the mood to waste even a second.

"I need to go to the rainbow islands," Lailah shook her head and turned around to leave the dark ocean.

"Wait," Michael stopped her. She strolled toward her and waited for her to turn around. When Lailah turned around, Michael stabbed her in the neck with an injection. Gaya and Elidyr were completely caught off guard as they never thought Michael would resort to such action. Lailah's whole body went rigid as Michael emptied the gray potion into her.

"What…bastard…" Lailah mumbled before she collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"Jeez. what was that?" Gaya asked Michael.

"This will keep her unconscious for two weeks. If I don't return with Harry by then, inject her with more of this," Michael threw a space ring at Azazel.

"She is going to be pissed," said Gaya.

"When she wakes up, Harry will be by her side," said Michael. Unfortunately, he had to knock her out, as Michael would have loved to take her with him to the Sea Realm. However, when he realized she wasn't taking Harry's disappearance as well as she could have, he went with plan b.

"I thought she would use her brain and not give up to her emotions," Michael sighed.

"Don't be an asshole, human. She is a mother who lost her child. Of course, she will be run by her emotions. If my kid was taken, I would have gone pure mad," Gaya said, lifting Lailah from the ground in her arms.

"And what would have going mad done? Nothing. You cannot let your emotions blind you in situations like this," said Michael.

"I think you made the right choice. We can keep her safe while you look for the child," Elidyr agreed with Michael's actions.

"I am not surprised. Guys don't understand what it is to be a mother. You never will," Gaya slowly shook her head, showing her disappointment in them.

Just find Harry as quickly as you can," Gaya said before leaving the room.contemporary romance

"I hate to tell you, my lord. But are you sure you want to go to the Sea realm just because Eratos had this medallion?" asked Elidyr.

"If you are wrong-"

"Then Noah would find Harry," Michael cut short Elidyr's words with a surprising answer. Both Azazel and Elidyr couldn't figure out Michael's complete plan. Seeing the bewildered looks on their faces, Michael took a deep breath and broke down his plan.

"Now that Azazel killed the guardians, Noah would look into this matter and find someone has taken Harry. Keeping Harry was Noah's responsibility when he realized he had failed, Noah would sweep the entire world to find him. While Noah is searching for Harry in the land, I will chase my lead in the Sea Realm. All it matters is finding Harry," Michael sighed. Although Noah was his mortal enemy, Michael had more than enough confidence in Noah that he would turn every stone to find Harry. Michael may be a god, but even he couldn't be in two places at the same time. Lailah was too emotionally unstable, and he had other tasks for Gaya. Hence, Michael decided to use Noah to look for Harry on the land. After Michael explained his plans, silence fell over the hall.

"What comes after finding Harry, my lord? Rainbow islands and Laila can't keep the child safe anymore," said Elidyr, cutting through the silence.

"Mazeroth," Michael took a deep breath and said. As soon as Elidyr heard the name, his heart skipped a beat. He almost thought the Dark Lord was playing with him. However, when he saw the serious look on his face, Elidyr realized the Dark Lord wasn't kidding.

"Are you being serious right now? What could have possibly made you think of putting him in Mazeroth? Did you forget Mazeroth is Skyhall?" Elidyr almost shook Michael by his shoulder.

"Sometimes, the safest place to hide is right under our enemy's nose. Only Noah and Andreas know Harry is my son. I will make sure it stays that way. He and Lailah will be safe in Mazeroth until he becomes strong to protect himself and his mother," Azazel had never heard the Dark Lord talk so seriously. On the other hand, Elidyr still thought it was a bad idea to put Harry in Mazeroth.

"Even if they didn't know Harry was yours, what if their propaganda turns him against you? What if he grows strong enough to be a threat to you, a threat to all of us? You and I both know it will happen if you send him to Mazeroth,"

Michael shook his head with a smug look on his face.

"No matter how strong he comes, I will always be stronger. And suppose he somehow turned out to be a puppet, I will explain my side of things to him. If he still felt like going against me, Gaya would take him down, and I won't stop her," Just by the look in his eyes, Elidyr could tell he wasn't kidding about this either. Somehow, Michael's stand against Harry made Elidry calm down.

"What about Edith, my lord?" Azazel, who remained silent until now, questioned Michael about Edith. Except for Noah and Andreas, Edith was the only one on the opposite side who knew Harry was Michael's spirit son. After what Michael had done to Victoria Barnes and her family, Azazel had no doubt that Edith would hate the Dark Lord to the core. Azazel dared not to underestimate a woman with a vengeance. As far as Azazel was concerned, Edith was a threat that had to be dealt with. Unfortunately, ever since the Dark Lord nuked Itholan, Edith had gone missing.

"Yeah, She knows Harry is your son. If she told anyone about that in MAzeroth, just to get back at you, Harry and Lailah would be crucified by the Skyhall. At that time, you would be the one who sent them to their deaths,"

"She wouldn't do that," Michael snickered.

"She is morally righteous, just like Noah. She won't throw her nephew in the fire to hurt me. No, she will do something else, something much more dramatic. Whatever it is, I can handle myself. I just hope for her sake, she stays away from me,"

***************************************

A couple of hours passed since Michael knocked out Lailah. Once his minions brought enough firewood and placed it under the cauldron, Michael lit them, starting the fire with a single bolt of lightning. Upon meeting the flames, the runes on the cauldron began to radiate a dim light. Michael ascended to the air and poured gallons of water into the cauldron, and waited for the water to boil.

While Michael was busy refining the brew, Gaya sharpened his dark swords. She kept muttering something under her breath and didn't look at Michael at all. At first, Michael ignored her, but after a certain point, it felt like a bee hovering near his ear.

"You have to take care of things up here. Understand it, snake," said Michael, throwing the luminescent mushrooms he plucked from the Itonys forest.

Gaya didn't respond to him except she rubbed the sharpening stone on the dark sword with more force.

"You do know they don't need sharpening right?" Michael sighed.

"As a matter of fact, I don't," Gaya growled.

"Just like I don't know why you keep refusing to take me with you. We used to do everything and go everywhere together. Ever since you put a ring on my finger, I don't get to come with you anywhere. I am pissed, and I feel like I want to boil you in that cauldron,"

Hearing Gaya, Michael didn't know whether to laugh or feel annoyed by her.

"I know, but I need you to get this business up and running here. You are the best gal for the job. Now be a sweetheart and understand it," Michael poured all the ingredients into the boiling water as the water slowly changed from purple to emerald green to a sparkling golden color. Michael then took out a healing potion infused with nanites AKA the blood tonic and poured it into the brew. When Michael first created the Blood Tonic, it was a muddy brown potion that had an unstable state. Over the past several months, Michael managed to infuse the Blood Tonic with healing potions. The only downside of mixing blood tonic with healing potions was that purity took a five percent hit. In other words, the pure healing potions had 98% purity, while blood tonic infused potions had 93% purity.

This blood tonic infused potion gave a massive advantage to Michael over his enemies. For instance, he managed to poison Ethan in front of Noah and Rowena. If Michael wished, he could make Ethan burst into a bloody mess with a single snap of his fingers. Michael left the cauldron and flew back to Gaya. Seeing Michael land beside her, Gaya turned away from him. However, Michael just hugged her from behind and rested his hands on her shoulder.

"Don't even try to calm me down," she growled but didn't try to squirm out of his embrace.

"After I return from the Sea Realm, I will take you on a long vacation. Wherever you choose, no questions asked. I will drop everything and spend as much time as you want,"

Gaya shook her head,

"There is only one thing you can promise that will make me less pissed off," said Gaya.

"What is it?" asked Michael.

"Promise me you will marry me once you return,"
