Hitman with a Badass System - Chapter 82: Phoenix Island

"Took you long enou...what the fuck?! How...shit you're freak" when he opened the door, Gaya came rolling her eyes and started to yell but her face froze in shock. Her words stuttered as she looked at him horrified.

It took her a few seconds to come out of her shock and opened her mouth.

"War God body is so overpowered" she came closer and circled him while feeling his new clothes with her hands.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 500 badass points]

She was impressed by his new clothes, hence, he was awarded 500 badass points. Then after circling him for a few more seconds, she came before him and put her hands on the waist, and asked,

"Does it kill you to wear something not black?"

"I'll stop wearing black when someone creates a darker color," He said and made his way towards the door as she followed him behind.

"Where are you going?"

"We are going to Sarton, to participate in the Phoenix auction"

"Now?! I still haven't eaten my lunch yet" Michael sighed hearing her protest. She was becoming more and more addicted to Raylene's cooking, and this time, he was really afraid she would get fat or worse, a heart attack.

"Besides, what's the rush? The auction main starts on the day after tomorrow. Even if we leave from here tomorrow morning, we'll reach Sarton by evening"

"I heard merchants from all over the kingdom will set up their shops before the main auction begins, I want to check them out"

"At least let me pack some snacks for the journey" She didn't even wait for his answer as she began to run towards Raylene's house. She was clearly afraid that he wouldn't let her have her snacks.

"You're gonna get fat soon" he shouted at her. "Fuck you!" because she had no Arch Energy to amplify her voice, she used her full-body strength to yell at him while running.

Micheal couldn't help but chuckle and he made his way towards Claire's place to inform her about his departure. Plus, he wanted to tell her to look after the Majestic's business while he's away as Ricky was still pretty weak.

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

Right at this moment, a pegasus was soaring through the clouds carrying two persons on its back.

"Hey don't eat all of them, leave me some you greedy bastard!" Michael was sitting behind her and let her fly the pegasus. Both of her hands on the rein and it made it easy to steal her snacks.

"Wow, this meat pie is really delicious" he intentionally teased her and took a bite out of the pie.

"I'm gonna drop you down if you don't leave my snacks alone!"

"Snacks?! You have enough food to feed three people for three days. Let me see, apple pies, meat pies, chicken drumsticks, lamb shanks, stuffed veggie rolls, egg rolls, and what are these? Biscuits and puddings?" The space ring he gave her now is stuffed with foods and he wondered how the hell is she going to finish all these foods.

"Now I understand why I have to restock the kitchen every freakin two days"

"Stop looking into my things, you creep!" She tried to grab the ring but she was unable to let go of the reins.

"This is why I didn't tell you that I bought the Lucky Cat tavern" Earlier he told her that he bought the Lucky Cat Tavern for 5000 gold coins. At first, she growled for not discussing with her his plans but when he told her he's planning to transform the tavern into a high-end restaurant, she stopped bitch about it.

"Then cure me quickly so I can cultivate again"

"We can't rush your treatment. It'll take some time but until then, don't die by eating too much"

"With this mouth of yours, you'll only get sluts like Sadie. Even they would chase you away if you say things that you shouldn't say to a girl"

"But Sadie didn't chase me away, instead"

"Gross! stop talking and at least give me a piece of the apple pie" the mouth-watering aroma was too much for Gaya to resist and wanted to stuff her mouth with that delicious pie.

"Alright alright, quit whining and open your mouth"

"AH"

Michael sighed and stuffed her mouth with the apple pie. And on the rest of the journey, both of them experienced the goodness of Raylene's food.

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

"Hey, why aren't we landing?" After a few more hours of flying, Michael could see more and more human-made buildings appear below after the thick forest canopy yet Gaya kept flying towards the vast ocean on the horizon.

"The Phoenix auction Island is on an island"

"Oh?"

The duo continued flying with great speed, rushing toward the ocean. A few more hours later, they had arrived at the border of the ocean. In front of them was a vast ocean, and he could only see water that stretched to the ends of the earth.

While they were flying above the ocean, they bumped into a lot of people along their way. Michael maintained a low profile to avoid unnecessary troubles along the way.

"I want to travel across this Crystal ocean," Gaya said, impressed.

"Tell me more"

"What can I say, the Evetica realm is extremely vast. There are tens of thousands of territories here, and its size is unmeasurable" Although Abras learned about the territories and geography of this world called Evetica realm, Michael knew the information Abras learned might be old and wanted to get the more current information through Gaya.

"Besides the Elen, Ozer, Awor, and Midrand Continents, there are also a lot of vast oceans and tiny islands. This Crystal ocean separates the Elen continent and the Ozer Continent. We are just at the border of the Elen but there is still a great way to go until we reach Phoenix Island" said Gaya.

"It seems like these people are also heading to the auction"

Michael threw his glance at the people flying in front of them. Most of the people were in groups of three to five men, some of them rode on flying demon beasts, and some wore the same clothes and had more people in their group compared to the other. Those people were clearly from some big powers. This could also be seen from the prideful expressions on their faces.

"Are you searching for a dragon?" She looked over her shoulder to see him gawking at all the flying beasts and realized he's searching for a dragon. She knew his fantasy about getting a Dragonling and she hoped he wouldn't find one because Nagas and Dragons had a long rivalry between them.

"Stop looking for a freaking Dragon and keep your guard up. Although the place is full of people, the Crystalocean is still a place filled with dangers"

Splash!

The water suddenly splashed underneath them as a huge red shark leaped out from the water with its mouth wide open.

"Holy shit" Michael realized what she meant by dangers when he saw the shark swallow a solo cultivator who was flying on a sword.

"Poor bastard leaped out of the ocean wasting energy to get that bony human" She pitied the shark instead of the man who just became an appetizer to the shark.

"Just fly faster" The shark he just saw was a Body Strengthening stage beast and although he could fight the shark, he didn't want to because the shark had the home advantage, the sea.

...…

"The fuck are you looking at? Never seen a girl fly a pegasus before?"

"Bitch what's your problem?"

Along the way, she was quick enough to antagonize a few people who stared at her. Because of her low cultivation level, they threw a scornful look and she immediately replied to them in her style until Michael twitched her ear.

"Ah!"

"Keep your mouth shut, you damn snake!"

Michael felt really helpless. Fortunately the few youngsters she cursed were weaker than him. Still, Michael didn't want to offend them because of her nasty mouth.

"It's physically impossible for me to keep my mouth shut when they look at me like that," she said.

"Then I will shut it for you, how about that?!" he playfully choked her from behind and shook her.

"Okay okay, I'll try to be quiet"

She said and flew with extreme speed. In just a few minutes, they had ditched all those people behind. Soon after, they saw another group of people in front of them.

The group seemed to be discussing something. Gaya and Michael sped up and eventually got closer to them.

"It's Lord Julius who owns Phoenix auction house as well as this entire Phoenix island. I heard he is extremely rich and has many beautiful girls in his harem" Someone said.

"Yeah, no shit. With just the trade fair between the two continents, he's able to earn an enormous amount of wealth and resources. Despite being a demi-human, he has good relationships with many of the influential people in both Elen and Ozer"
