Hitman With A Badass System-Novel

Michael was surprised at the little girl and turned to face her. She was nearly Cindy's age but in his eyes, this little girl was nowhere near Cindy as she seemed extremely arrogant and tyrannical.

"It's mine!" Even though there was no need to raise her voice to reach him, she shouted in a domineering way. For a moment, he stared at Alicia and hoped she would warn this little girl yet, Alicia did nothing.

He kept staring at the little girl and didn't speak a word as she stepped forward and pointed her finger at the baby dragon, "that baby dragon belongs to me, Maisy Cooper" Alicia almost forgot how domineering this little girl could be. They didn't see this side of Maisy because when Noah was around, Maisy would behave like an obedient kitten.

Alicia would have advised Maisy to back off but she knew how much Maisy loved to have a dragon as her pet and no matter what she would say, the little girl would not back off and let go of the baby dragon. Therefore, Alicia decided to back Maisy and if push comes to shove, she would fight Ghost until Noah and Abel arrive.

"Oh?" on the other side, Maisy saw him gently grab the baby dragon and search its body for something.

"Hhhuuuhhuu" the baby dragon giggled as it felt ticklish when he lifted its wings and examined its body.

Maisy and Alicia frowned watching him before he placed the baby dragon on his shoulder again and looked at Maisy, "Nope, can't find your name on it" Many who assumed the entertainment was over now started to believe that the real entertainment has just begun. Many chuckled inside hearing his answer and Maisy's face turned redder in anger.

"He's really not putting the little girl in his eyes"

"The little girl is crazy, he just killed? massacred a group in front of her eyes and she still dared to raise her voice at him"

"She's either too stupid or belongs to a big power, let's just wait and see" The onlookers murmured looking at him and Maisy.

"Give me my dragon before I make you, do you think I'm afraid of you?" Maisy palmed her fist and looked like she was ready to fight for the baby dragon which only made Michael chuckle.

"You should be afraid of me if you think you can take the baby dragon from me"? He didn't raise any killing intent or looked cold but said with a calm face.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 800 Badass points]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 300 Badass points]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 200 Badass points]

…

[The System suggests the host challenge Maisy and get the Ring of Fire] He ignored the badass points notifications but when he heard the last notification from the system, he momentarily opened the system and read it again to make sure he heard right.

"Ring of Fire? Is it a Legendary class spell?" his eyes glistened in excitement as he saw a blue description box appear in front of his eyes.

Spell name: Ring of Fire

Effect: Creates a shockwave of flames and a ring of fire around the caster for a short amount of time.

Upgradable: Upgradable through Mentor Function

Current level: Rare

The spells from the system had no current level stat and unlike the system bought spell, he wouldn't be able to unleash the maximum potential of the spell right out of the bat but he had to pay badass points as well as practice or use the spell more often to unleash the spell's maximum potential.

Although Michael preferred not to hurt a little girl like Maisy, it didn't mean that he won't teach her a lesson and in the process, get the Ring of Fire from her by exploiting her arrogance and her yearning for the baby dragon.

"So you're ready to fight for the baby dragon?" Michael quickly asked before she says something wrong and cross his limit.

"Yes," Alicia noticed a grin hiding behind Michael's face and frowned thinking that he's planning something.

"Since I don't like bullying little kids, I'll make you a deal. If you can make me even take a step back, I'll give you the dragon. But if you couldn't, you have to give me something as valuable as this baby dragon, tell me, little girl, do you think you can do this in one move? Don't worry, I won't move or fight back" by calling her a little girl, he flamed the fan of her arrogance. No one except Body Strengthening stage level 7 cultivators could touch him through the Responsive shield. Maisy was only a Body refining stage cultivator, so no matter how hard she tries or the level of spells she uses, she wouldn't be able to even move him an inch let alone make him take a step back.

Maisy gritted her teeth and tightened her fist looking at the grin on his face. She wanted to knock his teeth out and prove him wrong by sending him flying back.

"Maisy, don't hold back, use your strongest attack" Alicia bent over to reach Maisy's ears and advised her. During the phoenix auction fair, she saw the battle between him and a group of youngsters. It was not even a battle but a one-sided massacre and she knew about the light blue shield that protected him from their attacks. They couldn't even touch him through the shield but Alicia knew Maisy wasn't like those youngsters. Maisy was blessed with the innate talent that makes her stronger than anyone in her cultivation stage.

Although Alicia doubted Maisy's chance of winning the fight against Ghost, she believed that if Maisy used the Mystic fist skill, Maisy could break the shield and make him take a step back.

The Mystic fist was a spell that let Maisy conjure a fist made of pure Arch Energy and after Noah made some changes to the spell, the spell became stronger than it was.

"I broke many faces of people who underestimated me, your face will be the next on the list," Maisy puffed out her chest to show her courage and exclaimed proudly and in Michael's eyes, arrogantly.

"This is a Rare class spell, I'll place this as the bet"

"System, is that the Ring of Fire spell?"

[Scanning...]

[Yes]

After hearing the confirmation from the system, he smiled and stroked the baby dragon's face while it showed a troubled expression on its face. The baby dragon worried that he might lose the bet and give it to the little girl but the smile on Michael's face reassured the baby dragon.

Alicia took the spell scroll from Maisy's hand and made her way to the middle to be the judge of this bet. Since Michael made sure that no one can take away the baby dragon from him by paying the system 5000 badass points, he handed over the baby dragon to Alicia without fretting about her escape with his dragon.

He almost felt bad for them because yesterday, he killed their friend, and now he's going to take what the little girl desires the most, the baby dragon.

Plus, he was going to take a Rare spell scroll from her like taking candy from a baby.

"Huhuhuhu" the baby dragon reached out its claws and cried while he was handing it out to Alicia.

"Get tough baby dragon, it'll be over in a moment" Michael patted the baby dragon in the head and said. The onlookers were surprised to see the baby dragon stop crying after hearing? Michael's words.

"He's so lucky!"

"Why didn't I get a baby dragon?!"

"What a majestic creature, one of them is going to have a fully grown dragon as their pet in the future, I can't even imagine it"

"Be glad that you didn't get a dragon, the one who's going to end up with the dragon is in for a ride when rogue cultivators and adventurers hear about the baby dragon"

"If you ask me, neither of them can protect the baby dragon and raise it as their own. Many powerful families and sects will try to get their hands on it"

Michael heard these conversations going around him and agreed with some of them but he didn't worry about someone stealing his dragon because if anyone tried to harm the baby dragon, the system would raise an alarm and teleport the baby dragon to either Abyssal or s special storage unit of the system. Of course, he had to pay 5000 badass points per six months to keep this function activated yet compared to the baby dragon, 5000 badass points were not too much.

"You can't fight back and if you take even one step back, the baby dragon will go to her. If not, the baby dragon and this spell scroll belongs to you, do you agree?" Alicia coldly asked Michael as he nodded and then she looked at Maisy to see her give a small nod.

"Remember, She has one move" Michael calmly said and Alicia could only nod and hope that the Mystic fist would let Maisy win the baby dragon.

"Let's see what you got little girl"
