"Hmm, looks like my goal has changed" Previously his goal was 'Be the Strongest Predator in the world' and now it changed to 'Control the world'.
Obviously one had to be the strongest to control the world.
So as his first step to control the world, he decided to set up an empire of pill businesses to create a steady income flow. At the current level of the system, he could turn Gold coins into Badass points but not the other way around. Since he couldn't use Badass points anywhere except in the system and gold coins were the universal currency in this world, he chose to earn himself some coins.
With a rough plan in his mind, he exited the system and saw Gaya was licking the porridge bowl clean.
"Don't eat the bowl"
"Fuck you!" she cursed as she kept picking up the rice grains on the bottom of the bowl and put them into her mouth.
"Come on, let's go. We need to choose a suitable place to set up my shop"
"But I only ate three bowls'' Yes, she ate three bowls of porridge and showed Michael that she has a pretty big appetite. She wouldn't have a need to eat this much if she could cultivate as the Arch energy would keep her body fed but it wasn't the case, thus she had to eat a lot to keep her body functioning. Also, Raylene's cooking talents and the Arch energy-infused ingredients that Michael bought from the shop increased the taste of the food several-fold.
"If you keep eating like this, you're going to be fat" the moment these words escaped his mouth, the food in Gaya's mouth also came out as she coughed up.
"What did you say?!" he could see her face turning red in anger and realized that even in this world, girls didn't like to be called 'fat'
"You heard me" One could see the puffs of smoke coming out of her ears and nostrils if they looked closer but suddenly, she began to laugh
"Hahahaha" A sudden laughter surprised him
"Alright, I'll bite, why are you laughing?" she still continued to laugh and after a few seconds, she stopped and looked at him
"Even with all your talents, because of your mouth, you're going to end up dying as a virgin" she paused for a moment and then said,
"unless you pay for a girl to do you, hahaha"
"Hahahaha" Now this time, Gaya was surprised to see him burst into laughter.
"Why are YOU laughing?!"
"It's just...even if you pay, no one would do you, ugly. Hahahaha"
"Hahaha, great comeback, hahaha" both of their laughter echoed through the house and both felt refreshing to laugh like this after a long time.
**********
Michael and Gaya finished their supper and came outside of the house when the sun reached the middle of the sky. Because the sect had only a few disciples, the mountain seemed lonely.
"How far is this Bradford?"
"If we start walking now, we'll reach Bradford in six or seven hours"
"Next option"
"We go to River town, which we can reach in thirty minutes using your speedy spell. From there, we can rent a pegasus, and fly to Bradford in two hours'"
"Flying on a pegasus, cool!" He was barely able to contain his excitement from showing on his face when he heard the words pegasus and fly.
Although he flew in airplanes countless times, how could that be compared to actually flying on a pegasus, the white feathery horses!!
"Let's go!" He was about to take Gaya's hand and use the Lightning dash when he saw two familiar faces walking towards them.
The two familiar faces were none other than Daniel and Ricky, the two guards Michael met in River town. They looked rather tired and drenched in sweat as their light brown clothes turned into dark brown because of their sweat.
"Young master Ghost!"
"Why are you guys here?" This was the second time he asked the question today as both Daniel, the older guard, and Ricky, the younger one, breathed heavily.
"Young Master, we came to make sure Mrs.Agner and the children reached here safely and ask whether they need anything from River town" Daniel said while Ricky stared at Gaya as he had never seen a girl in his life before.
"Seriously?" Gaya questioned Ricky with an annoyed voice as he didn't even try to hide the way he was looking at her. Michael had no intention to stop Ricky as even with the mask on to change her face, she looked pretty, hence, it was natural for a youngster like Ricky to be mesmerized at her beauty.
"Ricky!" Daniel pinched Ricky and brought him back from his stupified state.
"It's nice of you two to do that but don't you guys have to be at the gates, all the time?" Daniel sighed and shook his head.
"The higher-ups transferred us, Young Master Ghost. We are going to Larton today"
"Larton?! What did you two do to deserve that? Hehehe" Gaya chuckled sadistically and raised Michael's curiosity. According to Abras's memories, Larton was a desert of Kingdom Bredia that had a lesser population.
By looking at her sadistic laughter and terrified face of Daniel, he could understand how bad is Larton
"If Larton is that bad, can't you guys ask your higher-ups to reconsider? Besides, why are they transferring you?"
"It's…." Daniel seemed like he was hiding something as Michael turned his gaze towards Ricky who's more talkative than Daniel.
"It's a punishment, Young Master Ghost" as expected, Ricky talked and his tone had a tinge of anger
"Punishment? what did you do?"
"It's because of what we did not do, Young Master. The letter we received from the higher-ups stated that we should have stopped you from burning Raplhy alive at the gates" Michael frowned after hearing Ricky complain.
"Also they said we won't get any promotion in the near future"
"You really fucked the lives of these two Ghost, weaklings like them wouldn't survive much longer in Larton. If the beasts and poisonous creatures didn't kill them, the scorching sun would" Gaya loved to pour hot oil into the guards' wounds by describing the worst in Larton and Michael slightly felt guilty for these two.
But soon, he realized that he could use these two as his henchmen. Gaya was obviously not a person who would run errands for him and he couldn't use Jack always. Daniel and Ricky seemed like good men and perfect henchmen material.
"Fuck your higher-ups, how much salary you guys are getting?" his question shocked Ricky and Daniel,
"120 gold coins"
"Per month?"
"Yeah they wish, its per year human" Gaya snickered and said
"Throw away your jobs, come work for me. I'll pay you what you get in a year for a month" before Daniel and Ricky could respond, he retrieved two pouches and threw them to the two guards.
"This is your hiring bonus, from now on, you two work for me" Ricky and Daniel trembled in surprise and shock. Just by feeling the weight of the pouch in their hands, they could tell that there are more than 100 gold coins inside.
Ricky was the first to fall down to the ground and hug Michael's leg.
"Fuck those old bastards in the capitol, I'll work for you, Young Master Ghost!"
After seeing Michael's generosity and their monthly salary under him, Daniel also knelt down and shed tears of joy.
"Alright, get up you two. Be loyal to me and you'll know what it's like to be rich"
