Good vs Evil
A few moments after keeping the sword against her flawless throat, Michael threw the swords on the bed. No matter how powerful she was, she wouldn't be able to hurt him, he knew that. Hence, he didn't feel threatened by her, not even a bit.
"It was a good mirror, a pity" Michael kicked the pieces of broken mirror away before stomping the ground. The force of his stomp made the chair lying on the ground stand straight as he sat looking at Claire. He then put his legs on the table before him.
"How did you know?" Lailah asked him in a cold voice.
"A Body Strengthening stage cultivator suddenly became Core Formation level 2 and you show up at my doorstep. I connected the dots and made a guess. It seems like I was right" Michael leaned back on the chair supporting his head with his hands,
"Why are you here Laila? You know you can't hurt me"
"Yes," Lailah stepped forward. Looking directly into his eyes, she snapped her fingers as the door shut close,
"I don't know why I can't hurt you but that doesn't mean I can't hurt you at all" For the first time, Michael saw her smile. Yet it was not a smile that radiated warmth. On the contrary, it was cold.
"You really seem to care about what's her name, the little one, Cindy. I cant start with her, then kill your precious girlfriend" She walked towards the window with her hands behind her back.
"I'd probably become tired and finish off your entire sect. Their deaths will be quick and painless, after all, they don't deserve a painful death as you do. Then you might feel how I feel after you took my purity" She turned back to see Ghost's expression. She hoped to see him become enraged yet all she saw was a calm smile.
"Obviously I can't stop you if you want to do everything you said. However, what I can do is remain patient. If I put my mind to it, I can be patient for years, decades, even centuries" As he was speaking, he took one sword and brushed it using the other sword. He seemed like a butcher sharpening his cleaver,

"I'll wait for you to forget about me and become happy. Then when you are laughing and being really happy, I will come for you. I will start with you precious disciples first, then everyone on your island, then everyone you care about, next everyone who cares about you, and cherry on top, everyone you know. And all of their deaths will be long and painful"
Laila's heart shuddered. She could feel that he meant every single word he spoke.
"Finally when you feel utter despair, when your heart becomes numb seeing all those deaths, when you want nothing but death, I will kill you. And I can get really creative when it comes to killing people" the smile he let out after finishing his words sent a chill running through her spine. She had never sensed such evilness from a person ever before. It seemed like the devil king himself was sitting in front of her.
"You are not a human, you're a demon child"
"Hahahahaha, demon child?" Michael let out a burst of devilish laughter that echoed through the room.
"Honey, sometimes devil himself sits back on his throne and admires my work, I'm his fucking competition" Laila opened her mouth, changed her mind, and stood in silence. For a few moments, she couldn't utter a word.
"I may not be evil like you but what made you think I care about Andrews?" Lailah asked. Her cold tone didn't change at all.
"Because you belong to the category of good people. If you weren't one, you wouldn't have been playing the mysterious doctor in Royal land, tending to the sick and weak"
Seeing the smirk on his face, Lailah felt her anger boiling within her. She wanted nothing but to hurt him. Nonetheless, she knew he was right. She was not nearly as evil as him. In her whole life, she helped people, never hurt them.
"When Andrew's step onto the battle stage, I will break him. The final isn't going to be an interesting one, it's going to be one-sided ass kickery"
"Humph," She snickered,
"He will defeat you because he's fighting for love. True love can overcome anything"
"Hahahahaha"

She clenched her fist so hard seeing him burst into laughter yet again as her nails started to plunge into her soft skin.
"True love can overcome anything? Hahahaha. Are you delirious? Honey love means shit in front of power. I am gonna show it to you in the finals"
"You devil, don't you have any feelings at all? You never showed any feelings when you took my purity, you never even flinched an eye when I told you I would kill the people who care about you. Do you even care about anyone in this world other than yourself?" Her words get colder and colder. For a few moments, Michael remained silent as she went on,
"You act as if you care about those people but you don't give a damn about them. You are putting up a facade, a facade to hide the darkness inside you. You want everyone to believe you're a human yet you're not one"
"You're here to make a report on me?" Michael tilted his head,
"I'm gonna stop you. Until I came here, I was just returning a favor. But now, I'm going to do everything in my power to help Andrews win the championship. I'm gonna take this championship away from you" She stomped the ground as the bits and pieces of mirror brushed past Michael, giving him a warning.
At this moment, she would do anything to wipe off that smirk from his face. After this conversation, she almost went back on her decisions that would change her life forever.
"Poor guy is gonna end up as collateral" Michael really felt pity for Andrews. In the game between him and Lailah, it's Andrews who was going to end up hurt. As far as Michael was concerned, no matter what Lailah does, he had the system with him. After upgrading the skills and spells, he was basically a god among Core Formation warriors.
"In the battle between good and evil, good always wins. Remember this" As she said, she flicked her wrist as a golden ray of light enveloped her body. The light was so bright that it made Michael close his eyes. When he opened his eyes after a couple of seconds, she was nowhere to be seen.
"Is she watching too many dramas or something?" Michael snickered.
After Lailah left, Michael focused on fixing the APD and brewing another batch of healing potions. The two tasks took almost two hours as he went to bed way past midnight. His brain and body screamed at him to take a rest. He could have meditated like the rest of the world but he chose to sleep like he's used to. Even after coming to this world, he maintained some of the habits of the earth such as showering, sleeping, and enjoying every earthly pleasure he could. Despite breaking several peoples' bones, brutally killing Alex and challenging Lailah, when he closed his eyes on the bed, he slept like a baby.
*******************************
The next morning, the curtains added an orange glow to the morning light, every morning a perfect sunrise. The brightness of the morning made him slowly open his eyes. The scenery reminded Michael of the times he slept in a beach hut, watching the ocean emerge under the golden shimmer. For a moment his mind conjured the rhythmic waves, soft on the sandy shore, and felt his heartbeat at the same slow pace. He breathed in deeply. A new day in this world had begun. He reached his hand out to the fabric, noticing how up close the light pours through every open space between fibers, no different from how it once came through the beach-hut walls, illuminating like brilliant fireflies each dawn. The material was warm beneath his fingers, and when the sun flooded the room, painting the colors anew, he felt a little of those golden rays soak into his skin.
Getting up from the bed, Michael willed the system to give him the leather pouch that contained water. After leaving the bed, he continued his usual schedule such as brushing his teeth, combing his hair to look good in the mirror when beating the crap out of people. Since they had no shower, he cleaned himself using the Arch energy before putting up a new black turtleneck, a new long coat, and a new pair of boots. Without a worry, he bought everything from the system as he had thousands of badass points to spend.
Although he bought a new long coat, he cut the embodiment Gaya stitched in his torn long coat and attached it to the new coat with the help of the system. It might not look like a 'G' as she intended it to look, but it reminded Michael of Gaya. Unlike Lailah said, he cared about people, especially Gaya. There wasn't a single minute passed by without him missing the snake. He gently brushed the embodiment on his chest as a smile emerged on his face. Soon, the smile turned into a snicker,
"We will meet soon, young master, hahahahah"
