Hitman with a Badass System

"He's not a genius, he's a frickin monster…There are no words to describe this kind of talent!"

Many people were rolling their eyes, feeling dizzy and struggling just to not fall on the ground. They simply couldn't accept this, this was just too unbelievable.

They managed to calm themselves down after a few more minutes but the way they looked at Michael had changed. And currently, they realized one thing; he's in a different league than the other prodigies of his generation.

The more they became shocked, the more badass points he earned.

"Daniel, take this pill to the gentleman over there." Holding the Green shiny pill in his hand, Michael called Daniel. It took several seconds for Daniel to respond as he came to Micheal.

Michael placed the pill in Daniel's shaking hands. Before this Daniel had never even seen 30% pure Alchemy pills or potions this close, let alone an 80% pure pill. Realizing that he was holding a 10,000 gold value pill in his hand, his whole body trembled.

"Go on" Michael gave a pat on the back to move Daniel faster.

After a minute, Daniel carefully handed over the pill to the man. Receiving the pill, he could feel the warmness and the Arch Energy radiating from the pill. The fantastic smell of the pill wafted into his nose.

The onlookers were eager to know whether the pill was a real 80% pure one or not, and all tightly fixed their eyes on him.

"You will be able to feel the effect after taking the pill," Gaya stopped rolling and rotating the chair and reminded him slowly at that moment.

The master said nothing more. Either he would break through to the next level after taking the pill or receive ten times the amount he paid. Both outcomes were favorable to him.

Puff!

He opened his mouth and put the pill into his mouth. The next moment, the man's eyes widened in disbelief.

The pill melted in his mouth and released a rich aroma. He could instantly sense his body devouring the Arch Energy like crazy. The master was shocked. He had been taking many pills and portions for a long time expecting a breakthrough.

"Is the pill working?" someone in the crowd shouted at that moment.

However, the master had no time to answer the question as his whole body was going through a change.

"It is so…" He was about to open the mouth and all of a sudden, a force of energy gushed out from his meridians and rushed through his body, roaring like a tsunami.

"What?" The master was totally shocked.

He didn't have enough time to think more. The next moment, he sat down on the ground with his legs crossed and started to draw that force in with cultivation arts.

Boom!

After a few breaths, a formless airwave gushed out from his body. Then he opened his eyes suddenly with brand new momentum. His eyes were even clearer than before and his skin became glossy.

Level 3 of the Body Refining Stage!

"I did... it?" The master murmured to himself. His mind remained unclear for a while.

Did I break the bottleneck which has entangled me for so many years?

…

All of the onlookers were also dumbfounded!

All of them had sensed the change in the master.

"Level 3…of the Body Refining Stage!"

"How…how could this be possible?"

"My God! He really realized a breakthrough to the next stage!"

"That was really an 80% pure Arch Energy booster! There was no doubt about that"

"I can't believe he's a 5star Alchemist!"

"He's not even thirty years old"

Everyone was exclaiming with disbelief.

There were no right words for them to describe their shock.

Whoosh!

The master of the Wincent family stood up immediately and bowed at him. Then he said with immense gratitude, "Thank you, Young Master Ghost! My whole Wincent family is in your debt" The man even addressed him as 'Young Master' because he was not only a prodigy but also a 5-star Alchemist. Even the King would treat a 5star Alchemist like him with the utmost respect. Standing on the other side of the glass, Michael waved his hand calmly.

"It's okay. The next time you need any pills or potions, come to the Majestic"

"Of course, Young Master Ghost. Can I order another ten Arch Energy boosters and a couple of Revitalizing pills for the members of my family?" The master asked excitedly. His breakthrough this time could greatly promote the status of his family and with these pills, his entire family could increase their power.

If the other elders who were also entangled with bottlenecks could also make a breakthrough, a complete transformation would happen in his family, and their status in Sarton would reach a new level.

Therefore, spending a hundred thousand or more gold coins was not a bad thing but a great investment.

Seeing this, the onlookers could hardly standstill.

"Holy shit! This is for real!" Usually normal people including the rich people couldn't get a chance to meet a 5-star Alchemist as they were extremely rare in the Elon continent. And even those few would often deal with rare treasures and artifacts rather than gold coins, therefore, when they realized the golden opportunity in front of them in the shape of Michael, they rushed into the store and gathered in front of Gaya's counter. Then they started to shout loudly, "I will also order five Arch Energy boosters!"

"Me too!"

"I will take three healing potions!"

"Six Revitalizing pills for me!"

Instantly the store was in chaos and Ricky and Daniel struggled to keep the people in the line.

At this moment, Gaya stood up with an evil smile and shouted,

"Behave yourselves, this is not a market! Form an orderly line and place your orders one by one. If you don't, we will close the shop and leave"

The crowd instantly stopped the chaos they were making and quickly formed a line. They feared that she would really close the shop and leave.

They all knew that at the same time tomorrow, the whole street would be crowded with people to buy a pill from him when the news spread. Before that happened, they wanted to buy the pills and potions. Of course, the people who had no gold coins to afford such products could only step aside and let the rich people move forward.

At the same time, a fat old man who stood in the line took a deep breath before talking to one of the young guards beside him, "Rio, I'll stay in the line, you go and inform the Baron about this"

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

In the main hall of the Baron's mansion, a middle-aged man was sitting on a large chair. The man, wearing loose silk clothes, was muscular and 6 feet tall. He was the mayor of Bradford, Tobias Totonk. In front of him was a young girl who was shivering and walking back and forth with a red face.

"Father, I need him dead now! Send him 50 no...60 men, I want them to chop him up!" She was none other than Jane.

"Don't be impatient Jane, let's investigate the matter properly before taking any decision"

"Fuck the decision! My guards are at death's door because of that bastard, I want justice for my people, why can't you understand this?" her eyes slightly welled up when she talked about her guards but her anger was too great to let the tears roll out.

"If you don't, I'll go directly to the Capital and bring my big brother"

"I'm not saying I won't take action against Ghost but I'm saying we can't act on impulse, especially at a time like this," Tobias patiently explained but Jane was not in the mood to listen to him.

"What's our war with Sarton Barron has anything to do with this? Grow a spine father!"

"Jane!" Tobias raised his voice but he soon calmed himself. Sometimes he would think he pampered her too much and spoiled her but he couldn't get mad at his little princess as he loved her too much. Not only him, everyone in his family loved her dearly. Her mother died when she was little and because of that everyone raised her giving her everything she asked as they didn't want her to feel motherless.

Even when she ran amok in Bradford, no one reprimanded her. The only one who kept her in line was Celina, Jane's cousin. Jane loved her cousin like her own sister and Celina too loved her deeply since she was little.

However, no one could have known at this point that Celina will be the reason for what's going to happen to Jane.
