Hitman with a Badass System - Chapter 78

Sadie's kiss was not at all the same as those movie stars, but one steeped in a passion that ignites. In that moment of the kiss, their chemistry became an ever-bright flame and fanned the jealousy and envy of the others.

Gaya and Jack were speechless as Michael leaned back after tasting the sweetness of Sadie's lips but Sadie's hands were still wrapped around his neck.

"Take me Ghost" Sadie didn't hide her feelings and the lust in her eyes at all. Michael was not a beta or shy person to blush and avoid a beauty like her but he still had to verify some things before taking the kiss to the next level.

"Are you going to use your techniques on me?" He had to ask this because it was not a secret that SilverMoon disciples used some secret techniques to harness someone's lust into Arch Energy. Michael didn't want to end up as a guinea pig just for a one-night pleasure.

"Only the techniques you want me to use" Sadie's voice sounded so seductive as it instantly charmed everyone who was hearing her.

She again locked her lips with Michael's and resumed the kiss.

"No strings attached?" He wiggled his head back from her clutch and asked, ignoring all the prying eyes on him.

"What the fuck are you two doing?!" Gaya couldn't hold back her annoyance. The two of them were acting so shamelessly and she had enough of that.

"No strings attached, just some old-fashioned lovemaking" The moment Sadie said this, he swept her off her feet from the ground. Sadie's both milky white legs were wrapped around his hip as she hanged onto him like a koala bear holding onto a tree branch.

"Hmmhh" Sadie's moan from his hard kiss made the male disciples wish they were Michael.

"Get a room!" Gaya screamed as Michael showed her thumbs up. The next moment, Sadie and Michael disappeared from the wall leaving all the disciples in shock.

"Brother Ghost is...awesome!" Jack worshipped Michael and fixed him as his role model of picking up chicks. While he was trying his luck with Sadie's junior sister Nyla, his brother Ghost picked the Senior putting little to no effort. Everyone at the acne knew Sadie was the one who made the move. Most of them thought only Core Formation guys had a chance with Sadie but Ghost proved them wrong.

"What just happened?"

"A Body Refining stage picked up a Core Formation stage beauty"

"Not a cultivator but Sadie Kaplan, the Sadie Kaplan of SilverMoon!"

Right at this moment, Michael was getting continuous rings of notification from the system as his Badass points started to increase.

"That shameless bastard and that slut" Jack saw Gaya gritting her teeth but he didn't want to become a punching bag, so he chose not to speak a word.

"Come, we are not waiting for that bastard!" She kicked the table away and marched out from the wall furiously. Unlike Gaya who was furious at Ghost's actions, Jack walked with his head held high and chest puffed out like he was the one who ended up with Sadie.

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

The very next morning in a house that was abandoned due to the Netherel attack in River town, Michael opened his eyes and saw the curtains add an orange glow to the morning light, a perfect sunrise. It reminded him of the times he slept in a beach hut, watching the ocean emerge under the golden shimmer. For a moment his mind conjured the rhythmic waves, soft on the sandy shore, and felt his heartbeat at the same slow pace. He breathed in deeply and turned aside. He was welcomed by Sadie's sleepy face as he brushed the strands of hair off her face. He reached his hand out to the fabric, noticing how close the light pours through every open space between fibers. The material was warm beneath his fingers, and when the sun flooded the room, painting the colors anew, he felt a little of those golden rays soak into his naked body.

"Good Morning" Sadie's body felt weak and tired but her voice sounded quite vigorous.

Both of them had the best night of their lives.

"Goodmorning Sadie" Michael put his clothes on and raised the curtain open to let the sun rays bask Sadie's half-naked body exposed out of the bedsheet.

"Did you have a good time?"

"Did you?" Michael asked her back.

"Very" It was the truth as Sadie didnt think someone else could satisfy her as he did.

"So what now? Are you going back to your sect?"

"Yeah, I have many things to take care of. What about you?" He leaned on the wall and asked her.

"The same, I need to tell my teacher that the people she asked me to find is dead"

"Dead? Who killed them?" It was a genuine question with curiosity because he had no idea that she was talking about his own handiwork.

"Apparently the Devil, do you believe in the Devil?"

"We all have devil and god inside us, Sadie. It's us who decides which to let out " He had realized that she was talking about his killings and gave her an indirect answer.

"Someone decided to let the Devil out," Sadie said.

"So are you going to chase this Devil?" Michael wished Sadie won't come after him like a detective because he didn't want to kill her. But if she decided to stand in his path, he would end her.

"Why would I? We SilverMoons don't play good guys unlike Golden Valley and Morningstar. If they want to catch the Devil, they can go for it but SilverMoon will stay out of it" Michael sighed inside hearing her answer and by the look on her face, he could tell she was speaking honestly.

"Enough of the Devil stuff. How prepared are you to enter the Nether Realm?" He kept hearing about this Nether Realm and really became curious to find out what secrets and treasures it holds.

"I'm prepared, how about you?" Michael's question made her chuckle

"I can't go in there silly, only cultivators under Body Strengthening stage can enter the Nether Realm. That's why some disciples like Evan and Victoria didn't break through to the Body Strengthening stage"

"It makes sense now, when I saw her Victoria was so close to reaching the next stage"

"I know you're new to this place but you should prepare yourself well, Nether Realm is no joke. As a senior I recommend you to go to the Phoenix auction manor in Sarton, they are holding an auction just for this occasion. Who knows, you might find something very useful to you in the auction"

"How big is the auction?"

"Very, there will be hundreds of people and disciples" She got him when she said hundreds. Big crowd meant anything he did would get more Badass points. Besides, he didn't lack gold coins, and if something handy appeared in the auction, he could buy it.

"Then I'll check it out and even try to make some coins out of it" Her brows slightly furrowed

"What's up with you and coins? We cultivators won't have much use for gold coins when we reach higher stages. You know what they say, coins won't buy happiness"

"Whoever said had apparently never used the money"

"Even so, what you and your friend did yesterday at the wall would have pissed off many disciples of Golden Valley and MorningStar, Ghost"

"What're you talking about?"

"First you started the fight with the Netherels dragging everyone into the battle and then, you and that mortal girl turned their misery into gold" The more Michael spent his time with the cultivators, the more he realized the gap between the normal people and the cultivators. Sadie seemed like a cool person but even she looked down on Aelia because she was a mortal.

"That mortal girl has a name, Sadie. It's Aelia" Gaya may have not completely earned his trust but she was still his subordinate. He didn't like Sadie looking down on her.

"Why do you keep her around?" Sadie noticed the change in his tone and asked. He was silent for a moment as Sadie continued but this time she referred to Gaya by her name rather than calling her 'mortal girl'

"Aelia seemed like a rather unique person but you can't get too attached to her Ghost. She is what, twenty-six or twenty-seven, yet she still didn't cross the Arch sensing stage. That means, she is a mortal, not a cultivator"

"So what?" Sadie had no idea Gaya was a prodigy and the Princess of Nagaland. Even if she wasn't a prodigy and princess, if Gaya swore her loyalty to him, he would treat her as his friend.

"So she would become old and die in a couple of decades considering she didn't get any mortal illnesses. If you get too attached to her, it'll hurt and hinder your cultivation path"

"Dont worry about me Sadie, nothing can stop me from reaching immortality and if there's something better after that, I'll reach that too"
