Hitman With A Badass System

The sky was turning dark and the bright stars were starting to come out while the gentle breeze of the evening wind was gently blowing.

"Look over there, the young master is coming"

"Who are those children behind him?"

Daniel and Ricky saw Micheal, a woman, and a group of children of different ages walking towards them.

"They must be the survivors of the rosewood village"

As a commoner who was born and raised in a village like rosewood, Daniel felt sad for those people. Many rulers and kings wouldn't raise a finger for a sect like blood and bone massacring the commoners thinking it would damage their relationship with the sect.

This was the first time that someone actually did something against a sect like the blood and bone. They still couldn't believe that the bones of the sect leader are hanging from a pole outside the city gates like a weird decoration. The entire river town was in turmoil hearing the news about the extermination of the sect and by tomorrow night, the entire kingdom would know what happened to them and the person who killed them, at that time, Ghost would become just as famous as many popular adventurers and disciples.

Next to Micheal, the ones who profited more in this situation was none other than the two guards, Daniel and Ricky. Before Micheal came to Rivertown, they were just two trash soldiers in the king's army sent to watch over this faraway land by the king of Bredia. They had no respect among the adventurers or the disciples of the various sects who come to the river town. In the other towns and cities, the guards had more prestige and would get a nice discount anywhere they went but here, even the tavern owner wouldn't even give them a small discount on ale and food.

However, now their reputation and respect skyrocketed as everyone in the town started to show them overwhelming respect because of Micheal. Now Daniel and Ricky were not just guards but the minions of the ghost, the one who single-handedly massacred the infamous Blood and Bone sect and burned the sect leader alive. While they were hunting for a large place to rent for the ghost, the people and youths came to them asking about the ghost and their association with him and unlike Daniel who tried to keep his mouth closed, Ricky bragged about their connection with the ghost.

He even bragged saying he and the ghost shared drinks which was somewhat true.

As she got closer to the city gates, Raylene saw a white skeleton hanging from a pole. She suddenly felt spooky and terrified looking at the skeleton.

"Do you see that skeleton? It's the sect leader of the blood and bone"

In that instant, Raylene completely fell into a daze. Every single word was punctuated clearly within her ears.

"Young Master, you...you killed him..."

"yes"

Raylene's eyes still had that look of sheer shock as Daniel and Ricky came running.

"Young master ghost, the owner stated an outrageous price but we haggled and closed the deal for three hundred silver coins"

Ricky proudly exclaimed and handed over the coin pouch to Micheal.

"Good job, here keep this"

He took twenty silver coins against Gaya's shout and gave it to Ricky.

"Share it later, now help them settle in the place, I have to check in with the tavern"

"Brother, aren't you coming to stay with us?"

Cindy pulled his sleeve and asked him as he ruffled her head playfully

"No, but I will stay very close to you, Cindy"

"Young master but"

Raylene was already in shock after hearing that he had spent three hundred silver coins for them and why did he have to stay the night at the inn while they stay in the house he rented with his coins.

"No, it won't be right for me to spend the night there"

People tend to spread nasty rumors when a single mother stays the night alone with a young man. It would affect both her and Cindy in the future so he decided to stay in the tavern. And if someone started to talk rubbish even after this, he would simply knock all their teeth off and shut them up for good.

"Young master Ghost is right, my lady, these people have nasty mouths"

Daniel said and it took a few moments for Raylene to think about the consequences and agree with them.

"But what if those badmen come again?"

Cindy trembled tightly and held his hand remembering the things that happened before her earlier.

"They won't, those badmen left the world and will never come back"

"Yes"

He lifted her up and kissed her on the cheek

"Now go with these brothers and sleep, don't cause any troubles for your mother"

"I won't"

Unexpectedly the girl wrapped her little hands around his neck and kissed him on the cheek. His heart was warm like never before and he had no idea that his new side was also somewhat influenced by Abras's soul fragments in his own soul.

He kissed her forehead and smiled while the guards were surprised seeing his change of moods. At this moment, he seemed extremely felt and approachable youth but a few hours ago, he looked like the devil reincarnate with the overwhelming killing intent.

Is he bad or good?

The same question was going on inside Gaya's mind too and until now, she couldn't find what kind of human he is.

"Take them there"

He passed the little girl to Daniel as he took the girl into his arms with a warm smile on his face.

He walked with them until he reached the tavern and then he sent them with Danial and Ricky.

"You are an orphan, aren't you human?"

Just when the children and the guards disappeared from his sight, Gaya asked him as he froze.

"Don't try to deny it, human, I see the way you look at them, human, it's the look of someone who grew up without parents"

"Well, well, you do have some brain, princess, I'm surprised"

"Thanks, wait! what? How dare you!"

She screamed in anger but it was good fun for him to make her angry

While she was shouting at him, he entered the tavern and the moment the people inside saw him, the place became dead silent as even a pin dropping sound could be heard.

Since the tavern was near the city gates, every one of them had seen what he did to Ralphy and they were terrified of him.

"Young master Ghost"

The waitress who had a wide smile on her face the other day now was shivering and trying to let out a fake smile.

"Relax guys, I only kill those who piss me off, are you guys trying to piss me off by being silent? We are in a tavern for god sake"

"No, no, young master"

The waitress quickly shook her head while the patrons in the tavern returned to their usual self little by little. Although the tavern was not as loud as before, still it was better than the dead silent.

A group of three adventurers was occupying the table he sat before but seeing him coming towards them, they quickly stood up and left the table.

"That's right, bitches, run"
