One of her female bodyguards couldn't keep her straight face as she looked at him in shock. In the meantime, Gaya tried to pinch his hand and let him know who the girl in front of them is before he does something that puts both of them in trouble. But Gaya couldn't help but admire him when it comes to making enemies out of beauties.
Moreover, his guts were worthy of being praised. Not many people could dare to speak in such a manner in front of the most irrational and overbearing girl in Bradford.
The girl stared at him with fierce eyes. She then said, "Do you know who I am? As you can see… I'm already not in a fine mood today. I can help you in getting rid of your bones… if you want"
"Bitch is trying to get herself killed" Gaya cursed the girl in her mind and grabbed Michael's hand sneakily.
"Look, Lady Jane, Daughter of Baron Totonk " the last part was unnecessary but Gaya used it to reveal the identity of the girl to Michael.
He was obviously shocked and cursed at his luck but he was not going to back off as it was too late to back off without being seen as a coward.
The boy who followed the girl was startled. He recalled that this woman – Jane Totonk was the biggest terror of Bradford. He had been beaten up by this girl in the past because of his love for her. The beating had been so severe that it had taken him nearly a week to get off his bed.
"Without your father's identity as Baron, you're just another girl who thinks too highly of herself, now if you excuse me" Michael turned to look at Manager Ti as he wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. Michael feared that if she talks too much, he would beat her to a pulp.
Jane's face turned red in anger and she seemed as if she was about to pounce on him and give him a good beating. According to the things Gaya heard, the young woman had great fighting abilities even though she was extremely young. She could easily defeat a normal Body refining stage level 5 cultivator due to the powerful spells and fighting techniques she learned. However, Gaya knew that Ghost is far from normal and he could not only kill her but also her bodyguards.
"Hahaha" the girl started to laugh maniacally "I can't wait to see how are you going to talk when my guards knock all your teeth out," she said to Michael and looked at her guards "I want to see him beg for mercy, as for his whore, throw her out of my store"
"Whore?! Human, kill them!" Hearing the girl call Gaya a whore, Gaya lost all her reasonings. Compared to a princess and a prodigy like her, how could a girl like Jane, a mere daughter of a baron insult her like this in front of all these people?
"Stop!" Michael raised his hand and said as the guards halted their movement.
"Don't tell me you're going to beg just like that" Jane held her head high, and arrogantly looked at him. "Why don't we take this fight outside?" Since the fight is unavoidable, he wanted to make the best out of it. If he fought inside here, only twenty or so people would see, but if he fought outside, more people would see him, hence, more badass points.
Even though he knew he's going to face some bad consequences because of this bitch, he couldn't help but feel excited thinking about the badass points he's going to reap from this fight.
For a moment, the girl and the bodyguards looked like a bunch of sheep walking towards the Lion without any ideas of the slaughter that's about to happen. Gaya knew that there's no stopping him now as Jane sealed her fate by her mouth.
"Why did you have to provoke her? You're indeed a big deal in Bradford. But, you messed with a wrong human"
An idea crossed Jane's mind as she looked at the arrogant face of the youngster standing in front of her, "Very well, if you want the whole city to see my guards beat you, so be it" She had spoken these words without any hesitation. She was clearly an extremely bold woman.
"Miss…" One of Jane's female bodyguards tugged at her sleeve in an attempt to discourage her. The female guard didn't know what was Jane's motivation to mess with the young man but looking at his black outfit, she seemed to recall a person called Ghost who massacred the entire Blood and Bone sect and killed the Sect Master Ralphy. The female guard also heard that Ghost wore a full black outfit that seems unique like the ones the youngster before is her wearing.
If he was the same person who killed Ralphy, the guard wasn't sure that she could defeat him. Also, if what she heard that happened in Heaven's gate competition was true, he's a prodigy and prodigies are extremely unpredictable.
However, Jane wasn't in the mind to care about anything. Jane said excitedly, "Come on then"
Michael was still calm and did not show any expression on his face while Jane's bodyguards looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Then, they walked towards the door to exit the building.
The people on the floor also followed them as they didn't want to miss the entertainment. The bodyguards were feeling pity for the youngster but no one among them was in a position to do anything. They blamed the youngster's bad luck and bad mouth to mess with Jane who was renowned for being arrogant and overbearing in Bradford.
Although Gaya knew about Jane's personality, Gaya felt like the girl wanted to pick a fight with Ghost. She wondered why and planned to ask her after he terrifies Jane by killing all her guards.
"Oh fuck, the little devil Jane! "
"Shut up, if she hears you, she will kill you"
"Het, look its Ghost"
"What is he doing with her?"
They finally arrived outside and caught the eyes of many people on the streets. Many people's expressions changed, and their faces became as pale as a white sheet when they saw Jane.
In Bradford, Baron Totonk had more authority and power than the King of Bredia himself. It was not because of Baron Totonk's leadership but because of Jane's grandfather, Reginald Totonk who was a Core Formation, level 7 cultivator. He was one of the characters in the kingdom Bredia who had the capabilities to challenge Bredia's finest warrior under King Bredia.
Jane was the only daughter of the Totonk family. She had three brothers who were serving in the military and two uncles who were also great generals in the army. Therefore, the might of the Totonk family could not be underestimated. She had been greatly pampered as she was the only daughter of the family. So, she had become spoilt and conceited. However, she was extremely skilled. Her level of cultivation in Arch Energy had reached a superior level even though she was very young.
The people had given her the nickname 'Alpha girl' because she was blessed(or cursed) with a strong feminist mentality who looked won on all males. Most of the Young Masters present at the scene had a bitter experience with her in the past. Also, she was often seen with one of the prodigies of Bredia, Celina.
"Young man, if you want to blame something, blame your bad luck" There were sixteen male and female guards around Jane and one of the men said looking at Michael.
"Oh shit, they are going to fight?
"Who is that kid in black?"
"He's the one who won Heaven's gate competition, you moron, Ghost, the Ghost"
"Holy shit!"
"Ghost vs Devil!"
"Holy moly, what the hell is going on here?"
The crowd went crazy and murmured looking at the scene while walking backward away from the scene as they didn't want to be collateral damage by standing in their way.
"Human beat them to near death but do not kill them" Gaya whispered into Michael's ears before walking away from him. As much as he loved to disagree with Gaya, he knew she's right. Beating them to a pulp was bad enough but if he killed them, the consequences would be disastrous, at least until he became strong enough, he couldn't afford to be the number one target of the Baron. So for now, he had to settle for only badass points, not experience points.
"I hope you have good health insurance" His smile freaked the guard as if one was smiling at a time like this, he must be either crazy or extremely powerful. But showing the doubts aside, the guard lifted his sword and rushed towards Michael.
Michael just merely sneered as bolts of lightning rushed out of his fingers. On the opposite, a powerful aura surged from the sword and completely enshrouded the guard's entire body.
With the Responsive shield and his current strength, there was no need for him to use his full power unless he wanted to kill the guard. He reduced the power of the bolts of lightning and it would be enough to bring the guard to his knees and break a few bones in the process.
This was a battle between a Body Refining stage, a level 5 fighter, and a Level 2 Body Strengthening stage fighter!
The guard had just approached Michael but in an instant, an enormous force had enveloped him. His expression changed drastically as te guard realized that something was wrong.
"Lightning dash"
Thud, thud, thud!
The guard halted his steps when he saw the youngster in front of him disappear and then he felt a sharp pain all over his body. The crowd could only see a light dance around the guards as his body bled more and more. Jane's face also turned pale because she could see what's happening more clearly than the commoners. He was punching the guard back and forth with the force enough to damage his metal armor and break his bones.
A few moments after the guard started to move his body in weird shapes, he was sent flying a few feet. He fell to the ground with a loud thud, immediately coughing up a spurt of blood and then lost his consciousness.
The whole crowd went so silent instantly that you could hear a pin drop!
"Damn" Gaya raised her brows looking at the bloodied bones sticking out of the guard's body.
"Now, shall we dance?" Michael flicked his wrist as the blood of the guard splashed on the ground.
