The guards in front of the gate recognized him and let him in without asking any question but they had a surprised look on their faces.

Looking at their faces, he walked towards them with a smile and retrieved ten silver coins from his pocket.

"You guys are working hard, here take this and have a good day"

He grabbed the guard's hand and placed the coins in his hand as the guard was dumbstruck.

"Don't spend it in one place"

"Thank...thank you...young master"

The guard stuttered and his eyes sparkled with respect and joy.

"See you guys later"

Micheal waved at the guards as the other guard quickly opened the gate for him.

"Why did you give our coins to those idiots?"

Gaya sounded irritated as he couldn't help but chuckle

"Since when did it become our coins?"

He emphasized the word our as she answered

"Don't be an ungrateful bastard, human, we're in this together aren't we?"

"You change your colors faster than a freakin chameleon, girl"

Unlike yesterday, many shops including smithies and bakeries were open and more people were walking on the streets.

"I did that because it's always better to have contacts in various places, having valuable contacts is as much as important as having money"

"You bribed them, I like it"

Gaya approved with a small giggle since she too bribed many people in Nagaland to get what she wanted but the royal family of Naga land opposed her methods calling it immoral.

"Consider it as a small gift"

"Tell that to the dumb f**kers in the Naga land"

While talking with Gaya, he reached the guild building as the groups of adventures kept staring at him.

"What are you looking at? you maggot"

"You said it yourself, they can't hear you, just ignore them"

"Please save my mum, I'll pay you, please adventurers"

And just when he opened the front door, he saw a little girl crying in the middle of the hall. The little girl's face was pale as her clothes were torn and dirty.

"Leave this place peasant, you can't afford our services, what if they destroyed your village, you ants should have paid them"

A youth wearing fancy armor was shouting at the girl while the other adventurers looked at the scene like they were watching a cinema with popcorn.

"Please, I can pay you"

The little girl showed the youth a small silver pendant as everyone who saw the pendant started to laugh at her.

But soon the youth's face turned serious

"I don't want to get my hands dirty by throwing you out, so go"

The little girl was shivering in fear feeling the powerful aura he was radiating but she shook her head

"No, you have to help me, mum said you all are heroes who help us"

"Lightning dash"

Just when the youth lifted his leg to kick the little girl, Micheal dashed forward like a lightning bolt and grabbed his leg.

The girl squealed seeing him suddenly appear before him

"Get out of my face before I kill you"

How heartless could they be? She was only a six or seven years girl begging for their help but these people were laughing at her misery.

Even if they didn't like to help, the least they could do was not making things worse.

Micheal pushed the youth as he stumbled back and fell on the table behind him. Looking at the little girl, he slowly wiped out the tears on her face and let out a gentle smile.

"I'll help you, show me the way"

He didn't take the pendant but put the pendant back on her chest

"How dare"

"Zzzzzhhhh"

When the youth stood up with a clenched jaw, Micheal pointed his hand at the youth and shot bolts of lightning at the youth.

[Ding! Congrats to the host for killing a Body refining stage, level 6 cultivator. The reward is 4500 experience points as well as 300 Badass points]

The scene dumbfounded the adventurers and the guild staff as their faces were full of shock.

Just one move was able to do this?

They saw a huge burned hole in his chest and there was still smoke coming out of his dead body.

He had dispatched a Body refining stage, level 6 cultivator in a single move and he was only a Foundation stage level 9 cultivator.

How… How was this possible?

Micheal already closed the little girl's eyes with his one hand and looked at the others to see if anyone dared to step forward to avenge the youth.

The remaining members of the youth's group were shocked as well as their mouths opened wide in fear. The way they looked at him took a tremendous change. Their arrogant facial expressions gave way to that of fear as though they were looking at a strange beast

The girl who he met before was shaken as well. She gawked at Micheal, his eyes were opened extremely wide.

"Let's go little girl"

He took the girl's hand and walked out of the guild as little cracks of lightning still danced around his fingers.

"Where's your village, little girl?"

He lifted the girl up and asked as the girl pointed her fingers at the east

"It's far east from here, adventurer...me lord, there's a tall watchtower in our village"

"Hold me tight"

He held the little girl tight against his chest and dashed towards the east turning his body into a bolt of lightning.

After a minute or two of running, he noticed black smoke on the horizon as well as a burning tower that seemed like the watchtower the girl mentioned.

His face became serious when he got closer and when he stopped running, what welcomed him was a burning village and burned corpses.

"NO!!!!!!"

The little girl screamed and tried her hard to jump out of his hands.

The entire village burned in a sea of red, yellow, and orange. Micheal watched as the flames ripped their way through the buildings before him, tendrils of smoke were reaching desperately into the sky as if trying to escape the blazing inferno below.

"What happened here?"

Gaya's voice was grave and serious as he rushed towards the village to find any survivors while the girl kept screaming for her mother.

Once a charming peaceful village now turned into nothing but ashes and debris. The smell of burning corpses even overwhelmed his nose as he held the little girl's head against his chest without letting her see all of this gore.

Some of the bodies had deep cuts while the others looked like they exploded as he kept walking in the hope of finding a survivor.

"Someone's alive"

Suddenly he sensed a life sign near him in a burning house.

"Gaya, come out"

He ordered Gaya as she emerged out of his body and closed his nose and mouth due to the stench.

"Hold her"

He quickly gave the little girl to Gaya and dashed into the burning house.

"HEY!"

She shouted but he already went inside the burning home

"Our home, mum! Dada!"

The girl tried to wiggle out of Gaya's hold but she didn't let the girl

"This is your home, tiny human?"

Inside the house, the responsive shield had already activated and shielded him from the flames but he could feel the scorching heat.

"(cough) (cough)"

The smoke started to fill his lungs when he reached a small room where he sensed the survivor. Except through the smoke and debris, he couldn't find someone.

But when he stepped forward to remove the wreckage, a creaking sound appeared from the ground. He didn't waste any time and quickly cleaned the dust and ashes from the ground using his bare hand and found a handle.

"Shit"

When he opened the underground door, he found a woman holding a two or three-month baby in her hand. She had lost consciousness and barely had a heartbeat and the baby was silent and lied in her hands without moving.

He immediately lifted the woman and the baby from the hole and activated the lightning dash.

In Gaya's hands, the girl never stopped her screaming and crying while Gaya gawked around to see if the cuprites were still around.

"HUMAN!"

Suddenly she saw Micheal rushing out of the home with another human and even tinier human in his hand.

"MUM!

"(cough) get out of here"

He held the woman in one hand and grabbed Gaya in the other.

"Lightning dash"
