After upgrading the spells, he had 50,000 badass points remaining. However, he was not finished upgrading his spells.
"System, I need you to tell me how much would it cost me to upgrade the runic teleportation so I can teleport people who are not my subordinates without buying teleportation scrolls every single time?"
Every time he teleported someone who's not his subordinate, it cost him from 4000 badass points to 10000 points depending on the teleportation destination and number of people he had to teleport. If he could teleport people by any other means, he wouldn't have to carry the container to the Silent Reaper.
[huh why do you want to do that?]
Michael sensed a slight panic in its voice. The system was happily selling him teleportation scrolls. Hearing him want to change his methods frightened the system as it wouldn't get many badass points as it did before.
"Can you or can you not?"
Michael very well knew the reason for the system's panic.
[Of Course the system can. But unlike the teleportation scrolls, the runic teleportation will be able to only teleport three people who are not the host's subordinates at once. It would cost you 45,000 badass points. The system recommends you to keep buying teleportation scrolls as they are more time-efficient and take less toll on your body]
"Oh you recommend?" Michael chuckled,
"No need, just upgrade the runic teleportation"
[You do know that you can't use runic teleportation while you're in a battle right?]
"I know system. I'm not gonna keep buying your teleportation scrolls unless I absolutely have to"
[So be it] The system sounded mad. Soon his badass points decreased to 5000 points, ending his upgrade spree. He wanted to upgrade Wind blast if he had enough points. Since it wasn't the case, he decided to upgrade the spell later. Although he didn't upgrade the spell, leveling up gave the spell enough power boost to knock out a group of weak cultivators in a few seconds.

After taking a second look at his status window, he was satisfied. He exited the system to see everyone staring at him. His eyes were fixed on Shorty who was shivering due to the alcohol withdrawal. Shorty's determination to become a cultivator surprised him. At first, he thought Shorty was asking him to become a cultivator for fun but his determination told Michael that fun wasn't the only thing Shorty is looking for.
Sadie was still sobbing. Her anger was overshadowed by guilt and grief. Turning his gaze back to Shorty, Michael began to speak. He was still in his full Lucifer form so his voice wasn't humane, it sounded unearthly.
"Gibson, tell me how many types of people there are in this world?" Michael asked Gibson who was standing behind the throne.
"Two kinds? Good and Bad?" Gibson said with uncertainty.
"Do you know the difference between them?" Michael asked,
"Good people are good, bad people are bad?" Yet again, Gibson sounded uncertain. None of them had a clue why Michael was asking these questions including Gaya.
"That's a textbook answer Gibson. In real life, the answer is much different than that" Michael stood up from his throne,
"Good people think if they don't hurt others, they don't get hurt. They try to live by a code of honor or the word of god or anything that lets them sleep at night peacefully. They don't realize they are just prey for the bad ones." As he was speaking, he walked to Sadie,
The latest_epi_sodes are on_the novel35.COM website.
"Even if they do realize it, they can't do what's necessary to protect themselves and people they care about. The code they live by, it's a prison that hurts them forever. If they end up in a mess, they just expect someone else to save them. The funny thing is, they expect that someone else will clean up their mess without crossing their code. If he or she did, the good ones brand them as evil, dark ones, etcetera etcetera"
Michael made his way towards the cloth wrapped thing,
"Let me show you the difference between a good person and a bad one" he took off the cloth after speaking to reveal the two bloodied Core Strengthening cultivators. They were tied up to separate poles. The cloth wrapped around their mouths prevented them from screaming or making a sound.
"These two pathetic worms helped someone kidnap forty young girls, witnessed the girls suffer unspeakable things, and finally, they tried to smuggle the girls somewhere. Probably whoever asked them to kidnap the girls planned to sell them as slaves for a price"
Tears broke out of Sadie's eyes as Michael went on,
"Twenty girls died in that container and the rest of them have been scared for the rest of their lives. Now those girls were good girls who just obeyed an order of their superior" Michael put his hand on one of the cultivators' shoulders. He started to apply pressure as the shoulder bone began to crack.
"Hmmmmmmmm" the cultivator's scream of agony was muffled by the cloth. The cracking sound of the bone gave a chilling to the pirates.
"Sadie here is also a good girl. She tried her absolute best to find those girls and she even went to such a height to summon me"
He flicked his wrist as a dagger materialized in Michael's hand. He ran the dagger slowly on the cultivator's body. The dagger was so sharp it kept making shallow cuts on the cultivator's body wherever Michael ran the dagger.
"She thinks she did everything she could to save those girls. But what about doing something to punish the person responsible for this? Sadie, can you do what's necessary to find the person who is responsible, from these two" Michael asked.
Everyone turned their gazes towards Sadie. Since they didn't see the ravaged status of the girls in the container, they didn't feel any anger or sadness but were just curious to see what Michael was going to ask her to do.
She slowly walked towards the two cultivators. Her body shivered in anger as her eyes turned redder and redder. When she came closer, Michael placed the dagger in Sadie's hands.
"Make them tell you who ordered the kidnapping and where they were transporting the girls. You know what to do"
Michael stepped aside. He folded his arms, waiting patiently for Sadie to start the interrogation although he knew what's about to happen.
"Just cut them open, slowly, of course. We don't want them to die, at least not yet" Gaya said sitting on her throne.
"Hmmmmm" the cultivators mumbled.
"I forgot to tell you, you are on the Southern continent. So no use in trying to cast spells" A glimmer of shock emerged in their eyes. Soon the glimmer of shock turned into utter helplessness. No matter how hard the cultivators struggled against the pole or the rope that tied them, they couldn't escape.
"Come on Sadie, what are you waiting for?" Michael asked as Sadie slowly moved the dagger in her hands towards the cultivators. Her hands were shaking.
"Who...who ordered you to..." Sadie stuttered. She placed the dagger in the cultivator's body yet she couldn't cut his flesh. Torturing people was not her strong suit. Even though she was overwhelmingly angry at the two of them, she couldnt get herself to torture them.
"What's the hesitation Sadie? Do you think the guys who ravaged those girls showed any hesitation?" Michael calmly asked before removing the cloth from one cultivator's mouth.
"You're dead! you're all DEAD!" The moment Michael removed the cloth, the cultivator screamed.
"You stupid bitch!" he spat on Sadie's face. Since Michael gave them enough healing potions, their wounds were all healed up.
"They kept screaming for your help until we knocked the teeth off their beautiful mouths"

Looking at his evil grin, even some of the pirates wanted to grab the dagger from Sadie's hands and start cutting him into pieces.
"When they find you all, we do much worse to your wives, daughters, mothers! And you bitch, they are planning something real nice for you"
He said looking at Sadie with menacing eyes.
