Hitman With A Badass System

Chapter 271 - How To Make Spartans Mad

While following the spartan soldier, he noticed several more spartans guarding the mansion. Apart from the spartans, there were many slave maids cleaning the floors, furniture as well as walls. The mansion's interior was just as fancy as the outside. The marble floors cleaned by the slaves were spotless, reflecting the golden light produced by the miniature chandeliers on the ceiling. The corridor gradually opened up to a spacious hallway where Michael saw several paintings of a man in a toga hanging on the walls. The man looked like a typical roman nobleman with a short haircut.

A few slaves cleaning the floors took a peek at Michael but they quickly turned their eyes at the floor before the spartans could notice them.

"Clean it thoroughly lowlives, the rug is worth more than your filthy lives' ' a legionary soldier shouted at the slaves cleaning the floor near a maroon carpet.? The hall was decorated with a classic roman sofa set with a gold inlaid tea table as a centerpiece.? The dark brownish sofa set did not match with the white marble floor per se but it gave a unique charm to the hall along with a huge chandelier hanging directly above the tea table.

The spartan soldier threw a glance at Michael and Gaya expecting them to be shocked by the grandness of the mansion yet what he saw in their eyes was nothing but indifference.

.

Soon, the soldier led them towards the curved stairs on the far end of the hall. Heinberg walked forward on the stairs carrying Jonah on his shoulder. His heartbeat began to rise nearing the Senator's room. To this moment, he had no idea what these two were planning to do with Senator Caius.

After they climbed the stairs, they saw a majestic two-door with golden doorknobs. The door was guarded by two spartan soldiers, one was a normally built soldier while the other looked huge, almost double the size of Logan. The soldier wore full golden metal armor from toe to head, there wasn't a single place in his body that wasn't covered by metal. He was at least seven and a half feet tall with the same size spear in his hand.

"He's the Giant, Senator Caius's personal guard"

"Wait inside, Senator Caius will meet you in a few moments" the spartan standing beside the Giant opened up the door.

"You heard him, don't do anything stupid while you're inside"

No one accompanied the trio inside the room. As far as the spartans concerned, who would be stupid enough to steal something when the Giant standing right outside the door. If they were caught stealing or anything that could harm Senator Caius, the Giant would rip their bodies apart. Even the spartans were afraid of the Giant.

The room they stepped in was large yet looked cozy with thick carpet, a large oak table with two comfy chairs on the front for the guests while white throne-like sofa for the Senator. There were no windows though which was logical considering no one could assassinate the senate from a distance through the windows.

The walls were full of more paintings except this time, they weren't the paintings of the Senator but abstract paintings.

"So much money wasted" Michael sighed looking at the paintings. He could tell the senator was a fanatic for paintings by looking at the room. Back on earth, there were rich people who would spend millions of dollars on paintings. Michael never understood these people and now he knew the senator was one of them.

The table was empty without any documents or pacers on it. The golden light radiated by the chandelier lightened up the room, He wondered what's powering up the chandeliers.

"Take the bag off" Michael ordered Heinberg as he removed the black cloth from Jonah's head.

"Are you gonna wake him up?" As Gaya asked, Michael lifted Jonah with one hand from Herinberg's shoulder and put him on the chair in front of the table.

After putting JOnah on the chair, Michael's gaze turned towards the Senator's chair. The chair was made of some kind of glossy redwood with gold plates etched on top rails and stiles. The seat and arms were covered in dark maroon cushions to provide extra comfort.

Heinberg saw Michael walking towards the Senator's seat instead of sitting on one of the guest chairs. His heart pounded against his chest with each step he took towards the chair. Gaya followed him behind before hopping onto the table beside the chair.

The spartans outside the door still didn't notice anything happening inside.

Standing just beside the chair, Michael willed the system to equip the Lucifer armor without the mask and hood. In a blink of an eye, Heinberg saw Lucifer put his armor on. He shivered at the sight of the black armor.

The sight of them in their armors told him the horror of what was about to happen. Heeinbegr instincts screamed at him. His eyes were locked at the entranceway, expecting the Giant to step in any second. If it was before, Heinberg would have been afraid of the Giant but now, Lucifer and the girl freaked him out more than the Giant. He witnessed how easily Lucifer killed Ross and everyone. After witnessing what a magic spell could do, he really didn't think even the Giant could stand a chance against Lucifer.

"Good, I was kinda getting bored. '' Gaya closed her eyes for a second before transforming herself into Dark Queen. Unlike Michael, she put on the black mask and the hood, making herself mysterious and eerie.

Michael finally seated himself on the senator's chair, casually putting his legs on the table. He tilted the chair backward which caused creaking noises.

"Unacceptable!" Just as Michael expected, the noises drew the spartans' attention. The moment the two spartans entered the room, the spartan soldier standing beside the Giant shouted at Michael. The Giant however remained silent but Heinberg could feel the cold murderous aura coming from the Giant.

"Grrrrrrr!"

The Giant uttered no words but growled menacingly. Heinberg's body automatically moved towards Michael's side away from the spartans. He knew the safest place for him was by Lucifer's side. However, he prayed to the gods that he won't become collateral damage in the battle between the spartans and Lucifer.

"It's rude to keep the guests waiting, my dear spartans" since he didn't use a voice modulator, he sounded like himself. But what he did and said made the spartans' blood boil in anger. Soon, several more spartans came running after hearing their fellow spartan's initial shout.

At the moment, twelve angry spartans stood at the entrance aiming their spears at Michael and Gaya. As usual, Heinberg saw no distress on his face.

"GRRRRRR!" the Giant's growl got louder as he took a step towards Michael. Each of his steps made the room tremble.

"What's going on here?" The Giant halted his steps when they all heard a sudden voice. The spartans moved aside as Michael saw the old man in the paintings standing at the entrance with the spartan soldier they met before.

"What in the hell?" the spartan soldier reacted the same as the others.

"Senator Caius" Heinberg called out to the Senator to draw his attention.

"I don't know who you are but you just made a big mistake"

However, Senator Caius was still looking at Michael. Although the senator looked calm, Michael could see the killing intent in his eyes. If gaze could kill one, he would have died by now. The senator walked towards him while the spartans surrounded the room, waiting for the senator to give the killing order.

The senator stopped by the Giant's side. He glanced at the Giant, wordlessly telling him to wait for his order.

"H, I have some questions for you. But before you answer them, you better explain to these two the crimes they committed against the kingdom" Senator Caius could see that they have probably returned from the undead island completing the task but what Michael did was a crime against him.

To this moment, Caius didn't see Jonah's face because he was facing Jonah's back, not his face front.

"He doesn't take orders from you anymore, Caius" Michael calmly said.

"GRRRRR!" the giant growled more after hearing Michael address Caius by his name. Addressing a Senator by his name before others was a crime and considered insolence against the kingdom itself. Therefore, the Spartans became enraged.

"Why don't you take a seat beside your son?" Michael pointed at Jonah as Caius's eyes went wide in shock. He slowly moved towards Jonah before looking at his face. Instead of acting happy to see his son, Senator Caius creased his frowns while scanning the room for someone.

"How did he? Where is Ross?" Finally the senator asked for Ross.

"Did you really think they would survive on that island the second time?"

Michael's words stunned the senator. For the first time, the anger in his old eyes faded away while a hint of panic emerged in his eyes.

"I offered him the chance to live. All he had to do was swear his loyalty to me"

"You? You killed him?" the senator gritted his teeth,

"I don't believe it, you couldn't have killed Ross in a million years. He's a spartan captain" the spartan soldier yelled at Michael. To the spartans, Michael was just a youngster in fancy armor. They couldn't even imagine him killing Ross, a highly decorated spartan.

"oh, he was a spartan?" This was a piece of new news to Michael.

"That doesn't matter now. Let's get onto business, shall we?"
