Hitman with a Badass System



(New AHSS chapters are out. Please read them and let me know your thoughts in the comments)

"Enough with the bad news. I formed this order to hear something intriguing. Do any of you have any interesting updates?" Michael calmly inquired, his eyes fixed on his subordinates. To his relief, his subordinates had been diligent in gathering information that would captivate the Dark Lord. Sadie, in particular, had utilized her network of spies and collaborated with Aria to eliminate guardians and nobles, uncovering valuable secrets and precious information.

"My Lord, I bring you a piece of good news," Sadie leaned forward eagerly in her chair.

"Ever since the Skyhall's execution team forced Noah out of his role as Supreme Guardian, the Guardian Guild has fallen into disarray. It has splintered into multiple factions, each led by influential guardians vying for power. The guild is now a wounded beast, and it won't be long before these factions tear it apart. One particular faction has made a remarkable discovery on Ozer continent—an ancient celestial energy deposit. I have been monitoring their movements closely as they attempt to locate this deposit with the assistance of the nightwalkers," Sadie explained, choosing to avoid the term "vampires" in front of the elder vampires. They preferred the term nightwalkers.

"We had actually planned to unearth the energy deposit and present it to you upon your return, but it seems you've come back earlier than anticipated," Sadie expressed with a click of her tongue, realizing her words may have come across as unintentionally negative. However, Michael chuckled in response.

"So you weren't quite ready for me to return just yet? I see," Michael chuckled, diffusing the tension in the room with a touch of humor.

"Oh, no, my lord. That's not what I meant," Sadie quickly interjected, scratching the back of her head and offering an apologetic smile.

"Trista," Michael shifted his gaze towards the striking red-haired vampire.

"Your task is to take care of the guardians on the island and locate the energy deposit. And don't worry, I haven't forgotten about Lenora. I have already initiated the process of reconstructing her body. It may take some time, but she will be restored to her former self before you know it," Michael declared, leaving Trista stunned. Her eyes shimmered with a mix of gratitude and relief. Trista had been fearful that the Dark Lord had forgotten about Lenora, but it seemed he had not. However, Michael's promise of reconstructing Lenora's body was not an immediate reality. Nonetheless, providing Trista with hope and motivation to fulfill his orders had its own advantages.

"I will see to it personally, my Lord," Elder Trista affirmed with a smile, revealing her fangs. Turning his gaze back to Sadie, Michael's voice dripped with chilling intensity. 

"Sadie, I want you to gather every piece of information available about the great eight clans," he commanded, a menacing grin spreading across his face. Now that he had achieved the Half Celestial stage, Michael had made up his mind to eliminate all the great eight clans and establish his reign of darkness. It was time to uproot his enemies and assert his dominance.

Michael took a deep breath, allowing the weight of the silence to settle in the hall. His calm demeanor and gentle smile held the attention of his subordinates, who were eagerly awaiting his next words.

"I have a special task for all of you," Michael began, his voice filled with a hint of mystery. The subordinates exchanged puzzled glances, wondering what this task could be. Gaya herself was caught off guard, unaware that Michael was about to reveal their secret.

"I want you all to come together and create the most magnificent wedding ceremony the world has ever seen," Michael announced, his words causing a wave of astonishment to wash over the room. The subordinates were left in awe, trying to piece together who could be getting married. Even Gaya, caught up in the moment, couldn't help but feel a mixture of surprise and excitement, unaware that the wedding Michael spoke of was their own.

With a playful roll of her eyes, Ayag perched atop Michael's shoulder, expressing her impatience. Michael's eyes sparkled with excitement as he addressed his subordinates once again.

"Utilize all resources at your disposal and spare no expense. I want to be amazed," Michael emphasized, his voice filled with anticipation. 

Michael's gaze shifted towards Gaya, his eyes filled with love and admiration. "I have found the most incredible woman in the world, and I am going to marry her," he declared, his voice filled with genuine affection. Gaya's heart skipped a beat as she locked eyes with Michael, a mixture of surprise and joy shining in her eyes. 

Gaya's heart swelled with happiness as Michael's words sank in. A radiant smile graced her face, and her eyes sparkled with joy. The thought of their impending wedding filled her with a sense of excitement and anticipation. She couldn't have asked for a more perfect partner than Michael, the man she deeply loved and admired. In that moment, she felt a profound sense of gratitude and contentment, knowing that they were about to embark on a lifelong journey together.

As the subordinates observed the exchange between Michael and Gaya, they couldn't help but be captivated by the undeniable chemistry and deep connection that radiated between them. It was as if the Dark Lord and the Dark Queen were destined to be together, their souls intertwined in a bond that transcended time and space. They witnessed the tender way Michael looked at Gaya, and the genuine happiness that filled Gaya's eyes as she gazed back at him. It was evident to everyone in the room that they were witnessing a pair made in heaven, a perfect match in every sense. The subordinates couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and admiration for the love that blossomed between their leaders, and they knew that this union would only strengthen their cause and bring them closer to their shared goals.

Eve's heart leaped with delight as she heard the joyful news of Michael and Gaya's impending wedding. She couldn't contain her excitement and a wide smile spread across her face. In that moment, a surge of pure happiness coursed through her veins, and she felt an overwhelming urge to express her joy.

Unable to resist the overwhelming emotions, Eve stood up from her chair, her eyes brimming with tears of happiness. Without hesitation, she took a few quick steps and swiftly closed the distance between herself and the couple. With her heart overflowing with love and excitement, she enveloped both Michael and Gaya in a warm, tight embrace.

In that tender moment, the trio shared an unspoken bond of friendship and camaraderie. Eve's hug conveyed her genuine happiness for their union and her deep affection for both of them. It was a testament to the unbreakable bond they had formed over the years. As she held them close, the room was filled with an aura of warmth and love, as if their embrace symbolized the unity and support of their loyal friendship.

Eve's presence and heartfelt embrace further solidified the joyous atmosphere in the hall. The subordinates watched with smiles on their faces, their hearts touched by the genuine love and friendship displayed before them. They knew that Eve's gesture was a testament to the unbreakable bond shared between these three extraordinary individuals, and they couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of unity and happiness.

Eve's eyes sparkled with joy as she held Michael and Gaya in her embrace, and with heartfelt sincerity, she shared her congratulations.

"God! You two are finally going to tie the knot! I couldn't be happier for you," Eve exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement and happiness.

"You've found your perfect match, Ghost. Gaya, you've captured the heart of our mighty Dark Lord. This is a moment to celebrate!" Eve continued, her words filled with genuine warmth and affection.

"I can't think of a more deserving couple to embark on this incredible journey of love and unity," Eve expressed, her voice brimming with admiration.

"As your best friend, I'll be by your side every step of the way, supporting you both in creating the most enchanting and unforgettable wedding imaginable," Eve vowed, her eyes shining with sincerity.

As the news of Michael and Gaya's impending wedding sank in, a wave of excitement and joy swept through the room. The subordinates exchanged glances, their faces beaming with happiness, and one by one, they approached the thrones to offer their heartfelt congratulations.

Aria, the Queen of Shadows, stepped gracefully towards them, her voice filled with warmth. "Your love is an inspiration to us all. May your wedding be a celebration of light and darkness intertwined, uniting two souls destined to conquer the world together."

Maxine, the Queen of Power, beamed with pride. "I have witnessed your strength and determination firsthand. Now, let your love shine as brightly as the sun, guiding us all towards a future filled with hope and prosperity."

Tiberius, the King of War, stood tall and spoke with unwavering loyalty. "You have proven yourselves as formidable leaders. Let your union serve as a symbol of unity, forging alliances and bringing peace to our lands."

Dular, the King of the Undead, approached with a respectful bow. "May your love transcend boundaries, just as the darkness embraces all. Together, you shall lead us into a new era, where even the shadows shall find solace."

Sadie, the Queen of Whispers, spoke softly, her eyes filled with sincerity. "Your love story is like a whispered secret, spreading hope and courage. May your wedding be a symphony of secrets shared, binding us all in unity."

Ricky, with his jovial nature, couldn't contain his excitement. "Cheers to the Dark Lord and the Dark Queen! Let this wedding be a grand feast, filled with laughter, joy, and everlasting memories."

Titus and Optimus, the Kings of Supplies, shared a knowing smile. "In the realm of love, you have found the most valuable treasure. As we provide the materials for your wedding, know that we stand with you, ensuring every detail is perfect."

Corey, the Queen of the Seas, raised her voice with enthusiasm. "From the depths of the ocean to the heights of the skies, your love will conquer all. May your wedding be a celebration of adventure and boundless possibilities."

Gibson, the King of the Skies, expressed his admiration. "Your love soars higher than any aircraft. Let your wedding be a testament to the heights we can reach when love guides our path."

Saber and Trista also offered their genuine well-wishes with smiles and nods, expressing their support and joy for the couple.

At that moment, surrounded by their loyal subordinates, Michael and Gaya felt an overwhelming sense of love and unity. The room was filled with congratulations, laughter, and heartfelt blessings, as the Dark Lord and the Dark Queen prepared to embark on a new chapter of their lives together.

Michael's countenance shifted as the cheerful atmosphere settled, his smile fading into a serious and determined expression. He stood up from his throne, commanding the attention of his subordinates, who sensed the change in his demeanor. The room grew hushed, and a sense of anticipation filled the air.

His voice resonated with intensity as he spoke, his words cutting through the silence like a sharp blade. 

"I want a detailed report on the Skyhall's execution team. I want to know every name, every face, and every connection they have. I will personally pay them a visit."

The gravity of his words weighed heavily in the room, and a sense of unease crept through the subordinates. Michael's unwavering determination was evident, and they knew he meant business. The Dark Lord's thirst for vengeance against those who had wronged him was palpable, and his subordinates braced themselves for the storm that was about to be unleashed upon the Skyhall's execution team.

The subordinates exchanged silent nods, each understanding the importance of their task. They would delve into the depths of their intelligence networks, uncovering every piece of information related to the execution team. This would be a mission of utmost importance as they worked to unravel the web of conspiracies and connections that had led to the downfall of their beloved Guardian Guild.

After giving his orders to his subordinates, Michael's gaze returned to his beloved Gaya. He spoke with a firm tone, concern evident in his eyes.

"You stay here and rest, Gaya. I don't want you to overexert yourself," Michael said, trying to reassure her. Gaya opened her mouth to object, but Michael gently placed his finger on her lips, silencing her.

"Eve, Vedora, I want you to keep a close watch on her," Michael commanded, turning to his loyal friend and his three-headed Hydra companion.

Eve nodded with determination. "Don't worry, Michael. I won't let her lift a finger. We have plenty to do before the most important day in a girl's life."

With a grateful smile, Michael acknowledged Eve's dedication. He gestured for Azazel, his loyal demon butler, to accompany him as he prepared to leave the hall. Just as he was about to step out, Gaya couldn't help but ask the question that lingered in her mind.

"Where are you going?" Gaya inquired, her voice filled with curiosity and concern.

Michael paused, his eyes flashing with a mixture of determination and a hint of menace. He turned to face Gaya, his expression hardening.

"I have unfinished business to attend to. There are things I've left behind, and it's time to reclaim what is rightfully mine," he replied, his voice carrying an undercurrent of unwavering determination.
