With the baby dragon on his shoulder and Gaya behind him, he opened the door to see the panic-stricken Jack. A couple of drops of sweat could be seen on his face, "what are you afraid of? It's just Baron and his men" Michael said, stepping out of his home, he looked at the rising sun on the horizon.
"Today sell the usual stuff, I'll make the new pills and potions later"
"But brother-"
"Don't worry about the Baron, I'll deal with them"
"Get the fuck out of here" Gaya's tone gave Jack no space to continue, he could only run away from her before she the crap out of him.
"Do you sense them?" His calm face turned cold after Jack left, Gaya nodded, the baby dragon's round pupils became vertical slits, sensing the powerful presence around them.
"Yes, we are surrounded but I don't know how many"
"Fifty-six powerful figures, might be more than that'' his Environmental Scanning was just at level 2, therefore, it could only sense a limited number of powerful hostiles around him. If they were at the Core Formation stage, he would have detected their cultivation level but he was unable to sense their cultivation level which meant they were stronger than the Core Formation stage.
Among the fifty-six he could sense, some of them were concealing themselves and floating directly above them in the sky, some were hiding in the ocean of trees around them.
"Humph, do they think it's easy to catch me?" Michael snickered inside his mind.
"Can you sense their cultivation level?" Gaya asked, she didn't show it on her face that they noticed the presence.
"All of them are above the Core Formation stage" He had already paid the system to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on their conversation in case these unknown figures were doing just that. If they were eavesdropping, they would hear nothing but some random conversation about life and the sect.
Michael walked to the side, to a place where the customers could clearly see the events unfold so he could earn badass points utilizing this situation.
Eventually, after waiting for the baron and his men, Michael saw a large crowd of soldiers adorning full metal armor marching up the steps, to meet him.
At the same time, he looked up to see an object soaring through the sky.
"There she is," Michael snickered, recognizing the person atop the flying sword, Celina.
The Baron and his men locked their eyes with him, they kept marching towards him until Celina landed in front of them with a loud thud. Even from a distance, he could see those bloodshot eyes, veins protruding on her face. Her neatly combed hair was disheveled. Behind Celina, an emaciated man walking with the men, Michael almost failed to recognize this man, Baron Totonk. He was walking like a zombie, there was no life in those swollen eyes of his. His previously sturdy body now became the body of a starved man.
Killing Jane really did a number on him, Michael thought. Waiting for them, he stood there, his hair fluttering back in the wind, accompanied by Gaya and the baby dragon on his shoulder.
The men halted their steps, keeping a ten-meter distance from Michael and Gaya. There were a few gasps and murmurs when they saw the majestic creature sitting on his shoulder. However, Celina's eyes didn't look like anything or anyone but Ghost, she locked her eyes with him, within those bloodshot eyes, a flash of shock emerged and disappeared.
"Not impressed," Michael thought she would have reached at least the Core Formation stage but seeing her Body Strengthening stage level 9 cultivation level, he was disappointed.
"Young Miss, let me talk" a wrinkly old man with a slightly hunched back pressed Celina's hand and said. The old man then turned his gaze at Michael, "Young Master Ghost, I'm Baston, a servant of the Baron, did-"
"I heard about what happened, Baston, it's terrible" Michael calmly said. Looking at his nonchalant face, Celina shivered in rage. However, her mind refused to attack him, just like she did when dealing with those who had grudges with Jane. She attacked first and asked questions later. The first time they met, he was just a Foundation stage cultivator while she was a Body Strengthening stage warrior, at that time, she could have easily killed him but now, the tables have turned.
"Words cannot make any of you feel better, is there something I can do to help you, Baston?" Since Baron Totonk seemed lifeless, Michael decided to talk with this old man instead of the Baron himself.
"Grandpa Baston, let me deal with this bas-"
"I assume you're not here to fight me, Celina" Michael interjected before she could finish her sentence
"Young Miss, please" the old man quickly pressed Celeina's fist tightly and gave Michael an apologetic look,
"Young Master we are here to" the old man's voice trailed away,
