Hitman With A Badass System

"Use this to dispose of the bodies" Micheal retrieved the highly flammable liquid he bought from the system and handed it over to Gaya.

"And don't forget to take their space rings if they have one, don't call Jack this time," He said and turned his gaze towards the terrified elders and Claire.

"Sect Leader Claire, Elders, those heart-healing pills, who needs them?"

A sudden sadness emerged in Claire's eyes when he asked. She then sighed

"Follow us"

With Claire leading the way, they arrived at a house adjacent to the building where they met Hart. A couple of girls and boys in orange uniforms respected them when they arrived. Inside the house, he was led to a room that seemed clean and well organized. Also, he immediately smelled a strong medicinal smell.

Surprisingly in the middle of the room, Elder Sandra was laid down in bed, unconscious and really pale. He could immediately sense that this was not something caused by injury but a terminal illness, like cancer. However, unlike earth, he had the ability to concoct pills to cure Elder Sandra.

"How long has she been like this? The last time I saw her, she was fine"

He sat beside Elder Sandra on the bed and observed her condition.

"She had been like this for the last three years, she would only get better when she took a healing pill but lately the healing pills stopped working. That was why we wanted to give her the heart healing pills" Claire's words made sense as the heart pills were much effective in healing terminal illness like this better than the normal healing pills.

"Although you were right to give her healing pills, it only kept the illness from spreading to her whole body, not to cure her. Sect Leader Claire, you should have used the heart healing pills in the first place, then the illness would have gone by now "

"We can still cure her right?" Claire didn't act like a sect leader at the moment but she seemed like a helpless weak girl who was concerned about a mother figure like Sandra.

"We can't cure her with Heart healings pills, it's too late, we can slow down the illness "

"No! it can't be" tears already started to well up in Claire's eyes as the elders looked worried and shocked.

"Sect Leader Claire, don't cry, I said we can't cure her using the heart healing pills but we can use another potion to completely cure Elder Sandra"

"Really?!" She quickly wiped off the falling tears and asked with delight.

"Yes, I can brew the potion, no problem at that but it's hard to get the required herbs and ingredients, let's wait for my friend, she would know where can we buy and how much the prices are "

"Are you talking about me?" Gaya made a timely entrance to the scene and halted her steps when she saw Elder Sandra's pale body

"She doesn't look good, what happened to her?"

"Black bite" This was the terminology they used in this world for cancer and when she heard the name, her brows went up.

"Now before you say something, tell me where we can buy these and how much it would cost us?" He quickly wrote everything he needed to brew the potion that could cure Elder Sandra.

"I've never heard of a pill or a potion that could cure Black bite" Gaya shrugged as the elders and Claire looked at Michael.

"That's because no one knew about this potion except me"

"And what potion is that?"

"Dew of Angel lotus, DAL for short" None had any idea or never heard of such potion before, including Gaya. So they could neither deny nor confirm the existence of such potion.

"Petals of green rose, a tooth of a wyvern, Siren's blood, virgin dew..." the more she read the items on the list, the more she was shocked. And even though the elders or Claire hadn't heard some of the items in the list, looking at Gaya's reaction, they could tell how difficult it would be to get those items.

"I know places where we can buy these items but it won't be cheap, you need a small fortune to buy all these"

Claire's eyes immediately lit up when she heard that Gaya said she knew the places to find the items, but they darkened shortly afterward hearing the last part.

"How...how small?" Elder Mark slowly asked like he was even afraid of asking this question.

"Something between 400,000 to 500,000 gold coins" What Gaya had said had stunned everyone. Claire's facial expression had turned pale, and her entire body was shivering.

"Oh my god, I'm going to faint" Elder Reiner lurched aside and held onto the wall to stop his body from falling down.

''How are we going to get that much?"

"Ghost, please save her"

After a few moments of gawking at each other, Claire swallowed the hesitation and came in front of Michael, pleadingly asking. She clutched his hands as tears rolled out of her eyes.

"Sect leader Claire!" This sudden act of her really stunned him

"I will brew the potion for Elder Sandra but I really don't have half a million gold coins in my purse " he was no longer sitting beside Elder Sandra but stood up immediately.

Claire still didn't let go of his hands while the Elders also came closer to him and surrounded him.

"Sect Leader Claire, we can't expect him to have 500,000 gold coins with him. Even if he had, we can't ask him to give it to us "

"We can plead for a loan from King Bredia"

"Also, if we can sell the rest of our lands, we may be able to get another 60,000 gold coins"

Each elder was speaking their minds and all of them wanted to save Elder Sandra no matter the cost, this showed Michael the bond they had between them. Still, he didn't have half a million gold coins to buy the items and even if he had, Michael wasn't going to empty his purse for them. Saving the survivors of the Rosewood village was a different thing as he only had to buy some upgrades which would always be a help to him in the future.

He might have helped them if he had hundreds of millions of gold coins but currently, he only had 75000 gold coins. Besides, 500,000 gold coins were equal to 2500 badass points which were more valuable to him than Elder Sandra's survival.

[Ding! THE BASE OF OPERATION FEATURE UNLOCKED!!]

"What the?" he heard a ding sound as loud as a church bell inside his head and was instantly taken to System's interface.

A new window that he had never seen before in the system appeared before him.

[The host now can accept the Sunrise sect as his Base of Operation!! ]

[Does the host want the Sunrise sect to be his Base of Operation?]

"Wait, what is this base of operations feature? Explain yourself System, before you ask me to do anything"

[The Base of Operations is a similar function to the Subordinate feature. The Host can acquire a whole organization as his Base of Operation]

"What's in it for me? Even though Gaya was not a jackpot, she had proven her worth by giving me some valuable intel, and also, she's keeping me entertained. What can a declined place like the Sunrise sect give me ? I've already done them a huge favor by joining them"

[When the Status and Legend of the base of operation increase, the host will receive badass points]

His objection to making Sunrise sect his base of operation slightly wavered after he heard the system.

"Hmm, like I received experience points for Gaya's killing?"

[Any actions like killings performed by Subordinates can only give the host experience points, not badass points. The Base of Operation can give the host both Experience and Badass points]

[Higher level the Base of Operation is, More points will be awarded to the host!]

"How many points are we talking about?"

[That depends on the level of the Base of Operations!] he was sure that he felt a tinge of irritation in the robotic voice of the system.

[The lowest level of the base of operations can give the host 50 Badass points and 500 Experience points for a week]

"The highest level?"

[...]

There was no response from the system to his last question as he started to think about making Sunrise sect his Base of Operations.

"Tell me, I can have more than one base of operations?"

[Yes]

"System, why now? I mean I've been here for three days and you've never said anything about making the sunrise sect my base of operations"

[There are three main requirements to be met for an organization to be Host's Base of Operation ]

[The Organization's survival must depend on the host ]

[Every member of the Organization must be weaker than the host ]

[The Leader of the Organization must be at least have 60% loyalty to the host]

"It seems me killing Hart left a mark in the young maiden's heart, hehe, so easy"
