Hitman With A Badass System

While Michael was in the demons grave, Sabrina was returning home from Ozer. Tired and exhausted by flying all the way to Pen Town. The once salmon and lavender sky transformed into a vast expanse of jet-black. The night laid down a blanket of darkness. When Sabrina tilted her head skyward, she could clearly see millions of bright stars dotted on the black sky at night as the thick gloomy clouds shaded over the luminous moon covering its entirety. Pen town glimmered like a Christmas tree on the horizon. Despite the time, the streets were bustling with crowds and carriages. The baby shower of Princess Katherine and Prince Andrews was a hot topic in the continent. Almost every prominent figure in the world was invited to the event. Usually, coming across a Fusion stage warrior was as rare as a four-leaf clover. But that was proven wrong in Pen Town. These Fusion stage cultivators arrived at the Pen Town a month early to ensure security.

In addition to powerful cultivators, several invisible arrays and runes covered the entire town. These specialized arrays were able to read one's thoughts and alert security if they bore any ill intentions. Only the empress of Awor had these arrays. But thanks to Rowena, the Winstons could get them. As Sabrina flew toward the manor, she felt a warmth in her body. She didn't freak out as she knew the arrays were scanning her. In the distance, the Winston manor stood majestically glimmering. The servants went all out in decorations. They almost turned the manor unrecognizable. Rare and beautiful flowers waved their heads, welcoming the gates. Special orbs fired light beams, turning the fountain water a colorful rainbow.

The servants of Winston manor noticed Sabrina in the air and quickly bowed. Their eyes glistened with joy because of their young miss's return.

"Young Miss Sabrina is back!"

"Inform Lady Diana and Lady Emelda,"

The servants cheered as Sabrina flew straight into the manor through the roof door.

"Young…Missi," as soon as Sabrina landed on the rooftop, she heard a wobbly voice. Surprisingly, she saw Samuel standing before her with his usually neatly combed hair messed up. He looked funny with his nervous smile. Judging by the smell of rum coming from him, Sabrina could guess what made Samuel walk clumsily and smile like a guilty child.

"Well, well, well, well, well," Sabrina amused.

"Are you drunk, Grandpa Samuel?"

The answer was obvious to Sabrina. Still, she wanted to mess with Samuel.

"No…" Samuel quickly hid the mug of rum behind his back. Since the baby shower was just a week away, everyone in the Winston family enjoyed themselves. But it was surprising to see the stoic Samuel himself get drunk.

"What's that behind you?" Sabrina asked, trying to hold the urge to laugh at Samuel.

"Young Miss. You must be…tired…" Samuel slowly talked. He found it difficult to stay still and find words.

"Samuel, where the hell are you?!" Suddenly, Sabrina heard Emelda shout from downstairs.

"Bring me another barrel!"Sabrina couldn't believe what she had just heard. It was Emelda, there was no doubt in Sabrina's mind. Now everything made sense to Sabrina. The room behind Samuel was used to store booze for special occasions. It looked like Samuel came here to bring Booze to Emelda. A light bulb lit up in Sabrina's mind. She slowly walked toward Samuel.

"Why don't you take a short nap, Grandpa Samuel?" Sabrina whispered in a gentle tone as specks of golden light floated into Samuel's mind. Soon, the old man dropped to the ground and began snoring. After putting Samuel to sleep, Sabrina opened the door behind Samuel. The door opened with a creak, revealing countless wooden barrels. The Winstons only opened these barrels for special occasions. Each barrel was at least a hundred years old and engraved with a special rune. The air in the room itself had a tinge of sweetness. Sabrina walked toward a barrel and placed her hand on the side as a rune glimmered on the barrel. In a blink of an eye, the barrel shrank to the size of a mug.

Sabrina picked up the mug and left the room. She headed to Emelda's room with an amused smile. The manor was just as cheerful inside as it was on the outside. Every corner of the house was decorated with rare flowers, antiques, and light orbs. Moreover, everyone was in such a good mood. Luckily for Sabrina, no one noticed her as they were all in the main hall, and Emelda's room was far from it. After taking a few quick steps, Sabrina reached an emerald green door with Winston family portrait hanging above. Sabrina couldn't help smiling, looking at the portrait. She was five years old when they drew the portrait. Everyone looked so happy in the picture. To be honest, Sabrina missed those good old days. Nowadays, everyone in her family was going through a tough time.

Letting out a heavy sigh, Sabrina opened the room. As soon as the door creaked open, Sabrina was welcomed with the strong scent of booze in the air. She saw Emelda rolling on the bed with a large mug of rum in her hand. Her hair was a mess, and so were her robes. A wide stupid grin from ear to ear was plastered on her face.

"Diana," Emelda mistook Sabrina for Diana. One couldn't blame Emelda completely. The older Sabrina got, the more she resembled her mother. Since Emelda was drunk to the throat, she thought it was Diana who entered the room. The prankster in Sabrina told her to go along with Emelda and pretend to be her mother.contemporary romance

"I brought you something, Emelda," Sabrina sternly said. She surprisingly sounded exactly like Diana. Hence, Emelda had no clue that it was Sabrina who was in front of her.

"Sit down," Emelda pulled Sabrina down, forcing her to sit down on the bed beside her. Emelda threw her hand around Sabrina's neck and took a large gulp of rum.

"I am so happy, Dian. After a long, long time, I truly feel free,"

"Why is that?" asked Sabrina. She liked where it was going and decided to pretend to be Diana longer than she initially thought.

"What do you mean why? Our whole family is coming together. When was the last time this happened?" said Emelda. Sabrina was about to ask something else when Emelda shocked Sabrina.

"Except him, thanks to the gods, I pray,"

Sabrina creased her brows as Emelda emptied the mug in her hand.

"I know I shouldn't say this, but he is a curse, Diana,"

Sabrina was utterly confused. The words that came from Emelda's mouth didn't make any sense to her.

"I even have to call you Diana because of him,"

Sabrina's instinct told her to refill Emelda's mug. With a flick of her wrist, she transformed the mug to its original size. Sabria drowned a mug into the barrel and handed it over to Emelda.

"You can call me whatever you want, Emelda," said Sabrina. At that moment, Sabrina didn't know she was about to be shaken to the core.

"Good," Emelda raised her mug before gulping the rum down her throat. Foam and rum flowed out her mouth and drenched her robes.

"Harriet Hunt," said Emelda. For a moment, Sabrina couldn't believe what she had just heard. Harriet Hunt was a legend among cultivators. As a student of Trident Academy, Sabrina studied Harriet Hunt and her adventures. It wouldn't be an overstatement to say Harriet Hunt was the most powerful and strongest cultivator of her time. It was really unfortunate that she and her sisters died in an accident. Even to this day, some people believed Harriet Hunt is still alive. Sabrina was one of them.

"Why did you call me that?" Sabrina frowned.

"It's your name, silly," Emelda knocked Sabrina on the head. After hearing Emelda's words, Sabrina's mind went blank. Confused and bewildered, Sabrina stared at Emelda. Ever since Sabrina was little, she had this strange feeling that her mother was putting on a mask. After she grew up, it felt like Diana was pretending to be someone else. Although Sabrina had grown used to the feeling, Emelda's words brought up everything Sabrina buried deep within her.

"I am Harriet Hunt, and who are you?"

"Erena Hunt," Once again, Emelda raised her mug proudly, having no idea what she had just done. Silence fell over the room. It took Sabrina a few minutes to collect her thoughts. At that moment, her thoughts were a mess. What she thought would be a good prank turned out to be a life-changing moment. Never in a million years had Sabrina thought her mother was Harriet Hunt. Sabrina stood from the bed and went to the doorway to close the door. Sabrina decided to unveil the secret behind her mother and why she faked her death.

"Don't you miss our old life?" asked Sabrina.

Emelda shook her head,

"No. I have everything I want here," said Emelda.

"I am glad you feel that way, Emelda. I just wish I could say the same," Sabrina sighed.

"You have to let him go, Harry. He is a curse. The moment he came into existence, we lost all the happiness in our lives,"

Sabrina wondered who she was calling a curse. Judging by her words and the look in Emelda's eyes, Sabrina had this strange eerie feeling. But Sabrina was afraid of asking her directly, which might reveal her identity to Emelda. Instead, Sabrina decided to take a subtle approach. She put herself in Diana's shoes and thought about what her mother would say at this moment.

"He is not a curse, Emelda. Aren't we happy right now?"

"I am, but you aren't," said Emelda.

"You can fool others, Harry but not me. I know you. My heart bleeds every time you go out there to keep him safe. Yet you forgot he is the threat to all, not the other way around,"

"You don't mean these words, Emelda," said Sabrina.

"I do, Harry. It's you who has yet to see who he really is. You know what he did to the Barnes,"

As soon as Sabrina heard these words, she learned who she was talking about.

"Ghost," Sabrina mumbled under her breath.

"Don't even say his name, Harry. It's bad luck,"

"Also, don't do anything stupid like trying to invite him, Harry. He brings nothing but death and destruction,"

"Why would I do that?" asked Sabrina.

"Huhh," Emelda dragged her words,

"Because you still think of him as your son. Remember this Harry, you may have given birth to twins, but you only have one son, It's Noah," Sabrina's heart skipped a beat. Her entire body trembled from head to toe. Sweat beads appeared on her forehead as she shivered.

"Ghost is my brother," Sabrina's words span before her eyes, learning the biggest secret in her life.
