Back in Michael's room, he was meditating but there was a small smile on his face. A few hours ago, he successfully introduced his other persona to this world. He was going to make an entrance in Bredia but Vandan, unfortunately, made himself a target of Michael, thus ending up being the fertilizer to the dark forest.

Michael didn't shake Vandan's hands for anything but to place the tracking dot he bought from the system for 200 Badass points. The tracking dot was so tiny as Vandan didn't even feel it on his hand. When he was about to put on his new suit of armor and chase after Vandan, the system recommended he upgrade it to version 2.

He thought about it and finally decided to upgrade the system because of a few reasons. The first and the important reason was the system's new functionality, the Mentor function. The Mentor mode enabled him to learn any spell that was not bought from the system store. The function would also improve the spell or skill's efficiency and power. The only downside for this function was, unlike the spell or skill bought from the system, he couldn't get to reach 100% mastery out of the box. The spell or skill learned through the Mentor function could only reach a certain percentage of mastery and if he wanted to reach 100% mastery, he had to practice the spell or skill often like normal people.

The second reason was another new functionality, the Masking function. It was the function that prevented Vandan and his group from sensing his cultivation level. However the function could only work for 10 minutes and after 10minutes, he had to wait for one hour before using it again.

He liked the two reasons but he loved the third one, which was the decrease in Experience points limit to reach the next level. The system hooked him to upgrade it when it mentioned the decrease in the XP limit from 300,000 to 200,000.

That meant he had to kill fewer people to reach the next level. Also, the system mentioned every time he upgrades it to the next version, there would be a huge decrease in the XP limit.

After he upgraded to the next version, the system was generous to gift him one coupon that let him buy a skill or spell for free and a few items. Of course, the system limited his choices as it knew he would try to buy a Legendary level spell or skill. Among the choices given by the system, he chose a skill called Death Range. The reason why he chose the skill was it perfectly complemented the Fear Toxin. After he activated the Death range, anyone within a few radius from him would be terrified for some limit. The weaker they were, the more they would fear. Coupled with his fear toxin, the effects of the skill were almost doubled. That was not the only sweet thing about this skill, within the Death range, Michael's strength and speed would increase by 25%. That was how he crushed a few skulls like crushing an egg.

The only downside of this skill was it could only be upgraded to level 3 where his strength and speed would increase by 50%. However as far as he was concerned, a 50% boost is not a joke.

To upgrade the system to version 3, he needed a whopping amount of 30,000 badass points. For now, he was happy with everything as it is.

Another change he noticed after the upgrade was the system's voice. Until now, the system sounded like a robot but now, it sounded less robotic.

"System, convert 450,000 gold into Badass points"

[Starting the conversion...]

[Conversion success...The host received 2250 Badass points]

[The host's total Badass points is 8750]

"Alright, now I should have a talk with the Elders and Claire"

He stood up and walked towards the door. Gaya was still sleeping on the floor after inhaling Chloroform. With a smile on his face, he carried her and put her on the sofa.

"Master Ghost" when he stepped out of his house, he saw Daniel was waiting for him with a stack of posters in his hand.

"Daniel, I see you got what I asked"

"Yes Master Ghost, this is all the posters of wanted criminals in Bredia we should avoid selling potions and pills" Daniel handed over the posters to Michael as he put the posters in the system storage to use later.

"I also brought this, Master Ghost" Daniel retrieved a rolled parchment and gave it to Michael.

The parchment on Michael's hand was a high-quality paper and had some weight to it. When he opened the parchment, Michael's brows went up in surprise because he instantly recognized the person on the poster, Gaya.

The poster didn't mention Gaya's crimes or her origin but it only had her last known location and the bounty amount.

"4 million gold coins and a chance to join the MorningStar sect in the Nether Realm" Although he didn't quite understand the latter, he knew the value of the first.

"Where did you get this?"

"At the Adventurers Guild, Master Ghost. This poster is all over the Kingdom. Every sect and adventurer is searching for this girl. I thought you should see this" right this moment, Michael realized that Gaya is in real trouble now and if she removed the mask he gave her, even he wouldn't be able to save her from being dragged back to Nagaland.

"Do you know who put the bounty on her?" The poster only mentioned that they report any information they find about her to the Adventure Guild or any sect in the kingdom but not a word about the person who put the bounty on her. Michael had some idea who would have put this bounty

"No one knows Master Ghost and I didn't ask around too much because I wanted to be discreet as possible"

"You did great, I'll raise both of your salaries later. Now take the day off"

The tiredness of traveling faded away from Daniel's face when he heard Michael. He bowed at Michael with utmost worship and joy

"Thank you, Master Ghost" after this, Daniel rushed to find Ricky to share this wonderful news while Michael went back inside his house. On his way, he saw Gaya yawning and coming towards him.

"Did you say you are going to raise their wages?"

"Yeah" Michael chuckled inside because she had no freakin idea how deep in trouble she was.

She followed him inside and saw him leisurely sitting on the new sofa he bought.

"Since you are being so generous, I wanted to discuss something with you" she leaned on the wall and said.

"Oh? Go ahead"

"You know I've been working hard and turning the Majestic into a successful business right?" Michael nodded controlling his urge to rub the poster on her arrogant face.

"And you are also generous enough to hand over most of the coins we make to that bald fucker" she was still furious about the decision he made to keep paying Vandan.

"Can you get to the point?" Michael said

"Im not going to work my ass off to pay that fuck, Ghost. If you want me to do what I've been doing, we should discuss my share"

"Sure, come take a seat" Michael said with an honest face like he was really going to negotiate with her.

"Huh" Gaya was surprised as she didn't expect him to agree just like this and wondered what's going on with him today because he was agreeing to everything since the morning.

However, she was delighted to hear him agree and hopped to the sofa as a happy bunny. She sat beside him and cleared her throat to enter the negotiating mode

"Although you are somewhat good at being an Alchemist, I'm the one who does all the heavy lifting such as crowd controlling, taking the payments, customer relationship, maintaining a public relation, etc, etc. Therefore after thinking long and hard, I came to a number that we can both agree on" he was an expert in lying because being a hitman required lying to maintain his cover yet even he had to admit this girl's talent of speaking so shamelessly and lying with a straight face.

"Maintaining public relation my ass" Michael laughed out loud in his mind but kept his real emotions from showing up on his face.

"How much are you thinking?" said Michael while Gaya took a deep breath.

"I was thinking we should split the profit by fifty-fifty"

He was stunned by this shameless snake but at the same time, he couldn't wait to see her face when he showed her the poster.
