Hitman With A Badass System

Hearing this, Michael and Gaya exchanged glances.

"He owns the entire island huh? " Michael started at the large island on the distance as Gaya noticed the desire in his eyes

."Having a big ambition is good but just don't let it consume you human. Julius holds major auctions and has many trade deals going on. Each event he holds is massive and it took them years to set up this operation. This is one of those massive events where many great warriors from different powers in the continent will participate. A lot of rare and unique treasures can be found here and many shady deals will take part on this island. So, if you want to become rich like Julius, first you must become more powerful"

Michael nodded and agreed with Gaya. She was right; he's still too weak to expand his businesses on a scale like the Phoenix manor.

"Man this place is getting crowded! I'm sure most of these youngsters are going into the Nether Realm "

"Not only that, I heard this time there will be more rare treasures. Lord Julius is using this event to expand his influence, therefore, he's putting some of his valuable possessions to attract powerful people"

"Of course, even the Big Sects will send someone over. And there might even be someone from the House of Edrene and Royal Family"

"I wonder how much is the entry fee to participate in the auction this time?"

"I bet it won't be a small fee"

"Sigh… this is really making me jealous!"

...

Michael listened to the conversations around him discreetly and from these conversations alone, he gained a basic understanding of Julius and the Phoenix Island. It had also made him want to expand his influence and businesses.

For the next few hours, more and more warriors could be seen flying toward Phoenix Island. Most of them came from the various Kingdoms in the Elen Continent, and the rest seemed to have come from the Ozer continent as well as islands on the Crystal ocean. All of these strange men wore distinctive clothes and none of them were weak. The majority of them were Core Formation and Body Strengthening stage cultivators. All of these people were heading in the same direction for a single purpose; to participate in the main auction.

The ocean waves were rumbling, wave after wave and the occasional furious roars emerged from the sea followed by people emerging from the sea. They looked like humans but when looked closer, they had a shiny thin layer on their skin.

When beasts like the red shark who were causing trouble in the ocean sensed the powerful auras radiated from the people who emerged from the sea, they immediately hid underneath the ocean surface, not daring to show their heads.

"(Whistle)" From Abras's memories, he knew the existence of the people who live in the ocean but when he saw them with his own eyes, he was still surprised by them.

"Look at those arrogant sea fuckers'' In front of Michael, Gaya growled at the Sea folks. They both continued to fly towards the Phoenix island and passed a lot of islands along their way. Some of the islands had splendid sceneries and looked like paradises on top of the ocean. Michael was mind mapping all those beautiful islands as he wanted to occupy at least a bunch of them.

"This ocean and all those islands look gorgeous" Michael was amazed.

"Not only that, did you feel the dense Arch energy? It's one of the many reasons that the Crystal ocean is home to many wondrous treasures. However, I find this place boring, I want excitement and this place has none" She rolled her eyes and said.

A little while later, they both came much closer to Phoenix Island and saw the majestic island floating on the ocean. Under the sunlight's shine, the entire island was glowing brightly. Floating above the ocean's surface, with Michael's extraordinary eyesight, he could see the Island slightly resembles a sleeping Eagle as well as a white fog hovering in the sky above the island.

"Welcome to Phoenix Island," Gaya said.

Michael could see the entire island from the back of the pegasus.IT was almost a month since he came to this world and this world is still surprising him. There were no sky-high skyscrapers or man-made wonders but this world was a painting painted by mother nature herself.

The scene before him enchanted him with its beauty; lofty and strong pine trees and palm trees stood everywhere, there was a magnificent waterfall constantly pounding the rocks underneath, and white fog covered the entire ocean, causing the island to look like a paradise on top of the ocean. On top of those, the trees with red and golden leaves added more charm and color to the scenery.? Just the view alone pleased everyone's spirits and made their hearts feel relaxed.

"Dang, I want to enjoy my immortality in a place like this" He couldn't help but praise.

"I can't argue with that, this place really does looks beautiful"

Gaya appreciated it as well. The man who picked this island was truly someone who knows how to enjoy life.

"Right, now we have to wait for someone to come out and give permission to enter the island" Gaya took her hands away from the rein and started to rummage through her space ring to find the right snack.

Both of them relaxedly sat on top of the pegasus and munched on the food they brought...Gaya brought.

Right at this moment, more than a hundred people had gathered around the island. They all hovered above the surface of the ocean in small groups, and there were more people arriving.

Swoosh… swoosh… swoosh…

During the next few hours, more and more people arrived. Regardless of where they came from, none of them dared break the rules set down for Phoenix Island. Before the trade fair started, no one would step onto the island.

Bang!

All of a sudden, a loud explosive sound could be heard from behind. Above them, the storm clouds appeared out of nowhere and darkened the place.

From those dark storm clouds, a figure appeared in the sky above like a sudden clap of thunder. They could see that it was actually a quite majestic figure.

This man looked to be in his late thirties and seemed he was at least 7 feet tall. He adorned in dark brown robes with thick fur around his shoulders and neck while his long brown hair fluttered in the wind.

"Core Strengthening warrior" Michael mumbled as this was the first time he had seen a Core Strengthening warrior. Without even fighting him, Michael could tell this man could easily kill him.

"Victor Hagen? I never expected to see him here." Gaya recognized the person and before Michael could ask more about him, the people around him began to chatter.

"Even Victor is here"

"Is it true that he's a lonely cultivator?"

"Yeah but no one dares to mess with him. Even the Big Sects and the noble families in Elen treat him with caution and respect"

"This time, the Nether auction is turning out to be something big"

I have a feeling that Victor isn't the only Core Strengthening warrior will see here. Those big sects will definitely send their Core Strengthening warriors here as well"

...

Unlike before, Michael had to listen more closely as they were whispering to each other. They were scared that if they spoke too loud, they might offend Victor in some way. A Core Strengthening warrior was not someone they could afford to offend.

This was power... this was fear...

The dark storm clouds disappeared after a few moments as Victor moved towards the Island. He didn't even look at the crowd; he just walked toward Phoenix Island unlike the rest of them.

None of them stopped him or dared to speak any words. When Michael looked at Gaya, even she remained quiet and stopped chewing the food inside her mouth.

"Welcome to Phoenix Island, Lord Victor"

A crystal clear voice suddenly sounded out from Phoenix Island. In the next moment, everyone saw a bright beam shoot out from the island. To everyone's surprise, it was a young girl. Of course, she looked amazingly beautiful, and her two big eyes were brimming with energy. She wore a sparkling red gown and top.

What surprised Michael was not her beauty but her cultivation level. She was a Core Formation Level 7 cultivator.

"Where is your Lord?" Victor's voice was imposing. The girl bowed towards him and smiled but Victor already moved past her before she could answer him.

"Too bad we're not eligible for such preferential treatment like Victor"

Someone really envied Victor and the preferential treatment he received. He was personally received by someone who's close to Julius and entered the island paying nothing.

"Wait till you break through to the Core Strengthening stage and I'm sure you'll get the same VIP treatment then"
