Hitman with a Badass System

"What should I wear?" Michael was rummaging through the system store to find new clothes to wear. Currently, he was wearing his Lucifer armor. When he returns to Elon, he knew he should wear new clothes instead of the usual blade or Neo costume. How could a badass wear the same clothes every day?

Instead of choosing a movie costume, Michael wanted to wear something suitable to this world, medieval-style clothing. With his buffed body, no matter what he wore, it would make him extremely good-looking. Plus, unlike before, he now sported a stubble beard to further his handsomeness. Before he departed to Elon, he only needed to cut his hair short as his raven black hair had grown past the shoulder length.

In front of his eyes, there were varieties of clothes such as tunics, shirts, braies,  metal chains, long coats, and long sleeves.

"Show me all the long coats"

[Only black ones right?]

"Of course"

The system filtered the long coats using Michael's parameters. Soon, numerous black coats appeared before him. There were regular trench coats, trench coats with fur collars, double-breasted trench coats, and a few other variations of long coats. After a few minutes of pondering, he ended up picking a black trench coat with no fur collars. The coat almost reached his feet. It had a mix of medieval and modern vibe to it.

[Do you want shirts and trousers to go along with the coat? Shit, I sound like a salesgirl in a clothing store] The system murmured as Michael chuckled.

"Nah, give me a turtleneck, trousers, and suede boots. Make them all black"

[Aren't you forgetting something? The dual sword sheath]

"Let me first get two new swords to my liking" Michael's two swords were degraded, losing most of their sharpness. Because Michael knew nothing about Jack's death, he was still planning to make Jack a blacksmith and forge two new swords.

[Everything will cost you 6000 badass points. Do you wish to buy them all and store them in the system storage?]

"I'll them all"

[Do you wish to buy the same set of clothing for Gaya? It'll cost you additional 1000 badass points to remodel the clothing to fit her]

"She already has enough doubts, getting new clothes out of nowhere is an unnecessary risk. For now, I'll take her to the best clothing store in Elon"

After everything they went through, Michael wanted to take a long break to clear his mind. Going on a date with her seemed like a good idea to him.

He worried less about the championship tournaments because he was extremely confident in his ability to win the tournament. Although he was at the Core Formation level 5, the First energy he absorbed from the Hydra egg upgraded his skills to the point his real strength reached level 9 of the Core Formation Stage.

To this moment, he was in the dark regarding the kills of Nightmare. It was because he was inside the void line when Nightmare killed all the bandits that he never received experience points. In addition to Nightmare, he also never received the experience of Aria's kills.

Eventually, Michael exited the system. He was still sitting on his throne. He was not alone, in front of him stood Gibson, Maxine, Tiberius, Heinberg, and Gaya remained by his side.

"I have tasks for each of you to finish while we're away" as he said, he turned his gaze towards Gibson.

"You said the seas out here are plagued with rogue pirates. I want you to hunt them down, offer them the choice to join our ranks. If they refused, kill them all but try not to damage their ship too much" His plan was to become a pirate lord. To become one,  one ship was not enough. He needed a fleet of ships. Rather than building or buying new ships and crews for a new fleet, he planned to make the rogue pirates join his ranks by force.

"Use this to repair the reaper and resupply the cannons" Michale pointed at the small chest on the corner of the table. It contained a chunk of wealth he obtained from Lars's ship when he first reached the Southern Continent.

"As you wish, Lord Lucifer" Gibson showed no hesitation in his face. The Silent Reaper was a Legendary Ship that overpowers most of the pirate ships in a one-on-one battle. To give a fair fight to the Reaper, it would take several man o wars or the pirate lords' ships.

Next, Michael looked at Maxine,

"Travel to the grey mountains with Tiberius. Make sure his people reach Gisal safely"

"Consider it done Lord Lucifer"  she bowed her head as Michael turned his gaze at Heinberg. Gaya just brought Heinberg from Gisal with the help of a teleportation scroll. His previous task was to monitor Caius while he was in the infirmary getting treated for the wounds he suffered in the explosion.

It was highly likely that the nearby kingdom might try to use the Gisal's temporary crisis to their own advantage by sending assassins after Caius.

"I need you to conduct a background check on everyone in Caius's list for the senate. Put a file on every single one. After that, find the gladiator named Mark" the mere mention of the name 'Mark' made Tiberius's veins pop out in fury. He didn't need any proof to know that it was Mark who killed Doctorus. Initially, he wanted to hunt down Mark himself but he was talked out of the plan by Lucifer. He needed to be at the Grey mountains more than on the hunt to Mark.

"As you wish, Lord Lucifer"

Michael felt proud looking at his subordinates. When he first came to this world, he had nothing. Almost a year later, he managed to put a strong foundation to dominate this entire world in the future. He could imagine the people in this room becoming his generals, powerful generals. His enemies would have to face them before even coming to meet Gaya and him. They would be like the top-level bosses.

"And put these in your ear"  Michael flicked his wrist as tiny earbuds appeared on the table. The earbuds slowly began to float towards each of them except Heinberg as he already had an earbud to communicate with Gaya and Michael.

"Always keep them in your ear. Who knows, one day it might save your lives" Gaya snickers evilly to mess with them. All of them knew she has a weird sense of humor.

"You can all go"

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

Eventually, after everyone left the room, only Gaya, Michael and Hydra remained in the room. He stood in front of a mirror with a hair clipper that was powered by Arch energy. He spent almost an hour in front of the mirror, cutting his hair to perfection. This was the first time he cut his hair since he came to this world.

"Ow, I like your long hair," she pouted while sitting on the sofa. The Hydra was still asleep after a hearty meal. Currently, two tiny wings were sticking out of its back. The wings indicated that the hydra would be able to fly in the future. He couldn't help wondering how big the Hydra would grow.

"I like changing my looks often. Don't you wanna try new looks?"  while clipping his long hair, he asked her.

"Perfection doesn't need alteration" there was an immense amount of pride could be seen on her face. He knew she was right. She was perfect in every way. Among all the women he saw, only Lailah could match Gaya in terms of beauty. Thinking about Lailah, he wondered what she's doing. He wished not to see her again in his life even though he knew the odds for that are low.

"What about your mouth? It's far from being perfect" Michael teased her expecting her to get mad. Making her mad was one of his hobbies.

"Fuck yourself human" she was used to getting teased by Michael. Her lack of anger made teasing a bit dull. In a few minutes, he shortened his hair and shaped his beard to perfection.

"How am I looking?" Michael asked. She stared at him from top to bottom before leaving the sofa to come to him. She put the Hydra on the table. To Michael's surprise, she locked her lips with his while running her fingers through Michael's hair. They savored each other lips for several minutes before parting from each other,

"Shall we go home?" She asked, licking her lips with an alluring smile on her face.

"Yes, we shall" the both of them yet again put the masks on to hide their faces. After she gently took the hydra from the table, Michael closed his eyes, willing the system to activate the runic teleportation. The warm feeling of teleportation rays enveloped them. Either of them couldn't wait to return to the sect. After four months, Michael could open the restaurant. He hoped the winter had passed. More than everything, Michael wanted to unlock the demon soul from the stone. Before departing to the Southern Continent, the system said that the stone needs at least two months to stabilize before opening it.

It had been two months since he came to the Southern Continent, hence Michael knew it's time to let out the demon and take another powerful subordinate. After several seconds, Michael opened his eyes to see the familiar dark walls, sofa, and large bed.. Finally, he had returned to the Abyssal.
