Chapter 100 - Custom Vehicle
Elizabeth led Adam to the lift then they went down to a floor that was below the ground floor. However, the button wasn\'t on the lift and it required Elizabeth\'s fingerprint in order to access it.
"Wow, you even have a secret lair under your building. Is that even legal" teased Adam.
"Since when did you care about the law when you go around killing people as you please" refuted Elizabeth defensively.
While refurbishing the building over the past few days she had managed to create a small underground lair for herself which only she could access through the lift that she had extended to reach underground.
"I have formed a small underground room for secret plans and meetings and only me and one other person have the access to get inside" informed him Elizabeth.
"And who is this person" asked Adam, not wanting to reveal his identity as a cultivator to another person.
"The one that designed and engineered the underground room and also the weird motorcycle that you asked for" answered Elizabeth.
"Meet Jaspar" stated Elizabeth as the lift reached a halt and the door opened to reveal a short man that seemed to be in his thirties.
He wore a lab coat and glasses as he turned around to greet Adam.
"Nice to meet you trusted friend of lady Elizabeth" greeted Jaspar respectfully as he shook Adam\'s hand.
Adam before shaking his hand checked to see whether he could sense any energy within Jaspar\'s body, but he couldn\'t and assumed that he wasn\'t a cultivator.
However, he was still careful as he shook his hand, knowing that if a cultivator was much stronger than him he wouldn\'t be able to gauge their strength or tell whether they were a cultivator, just like with his master.
"You gave me an almost impossible task to produce you a motorcycle that needs to be able to change models and licence plates at the press of a button, but I have managed to create a prototype that is working and has a similar function to what you asked for" narrated Jaspar getting straight into business.
[This guy is weird and he seems to be very respectful to Elizabeth and me because I came with her. But if he was capable of designing this underground lair and my motorcycle with unique specifications, in such a short amount of time, then he must be very capable and useful] thought Adam to himself.
He walked over to what was obviously a motorcycle covered in a cloak and pulled off the cloak with a proud expression.
"Give me a quick rundown of its schematics and what it is capable of, then I need to leave" stated Adam.
He wasn\'t intentionally being rude, but he felt uncomfortable in a secluded underground room with an unknown individual that he couldn\'t confirm wasn\'t a cultivator.
Jaspar wasn\'t fazed in the slightest by Adam\'s blatant disrespect and did exactly as he instructed. It was as if he was Elizabeth\'s servant and with a nod of approval from Elizabeth, he began doing as Adam had said.
"Okay, I have used these specifications and parts to produce..." Jaspal gave Adam a detailed rundown of all the different parts that were used in the process of creating the motorbike, which Adam memorised, just in case he needed to know about it in the future when maintaining his motorcycle.
"So now move on to what is it capable of" stated Adam after receiving the schematics of the motorcycle.
"Yes as you know from the parts, the motor and interior parts of the motorcycle don\'t change, but the exterior of the motorcycle, which includes the frame and the licence plate, can flip over. On one side is an ordinary motorcycle that seems to be of average quality and has an official licence plate and papers, while on the other side is a completely blacked-out motorcycle that has no licence plate and is untraceable.
While it is flipped into the blank form, it is more streamline and is effected less by air resistance, so is the better choice for when you wish to travel at great speeds. The ordinary form also has a capped speed so that it isn\'t revealed that it can change and matches the model that it is displaying.
The metal that the exterior is formed out of is bulletproof while the wheels are 5 times more durable than ordinary wheels and were created using a highly dense and durable rubber. It can reach 200 miles per hour comfortably, but I would not recommend you to stay at that speed for too long as it will rapidly use fuel and will be hard for you to control" summarised Jaspal.
Before Adam could even reply or react, Jaspal had already begun talking again at a very fast speed that he talked in.
"I have also gone through the extra effort of creating for you some motorcycle wear, which will protect you from any dangers that may come with the fast speed of the motorcycle and are formed using expensive durable leather that has carbon fibre woven into it" continued Jaspal as he scurried to the corner of the room and handed to Adam what seemed to be an ordinary leather jacket and pants.
"And I have finally also created for you a helmet that has bulletproofing and is a durable material, but I wouldn\'t advise you to shoot a gun at your head at a close distance, unless you want to blow your brain\'s out" advised Jaspal as he handed over to Adam a completely black helmet.
Adam was silent for a few seconds as he digested all the information that Jaspal had bombarded onto him, but looking at the motorbike before him it seemed ordinary and nothing special.
Which was exactly how he wanted it to be when he rode it himself, and he was excited to test out how it looked while it was flipped into the untrackable all-black form. But before he did that, he had some questions for Jaspal.
Everything seemed perfect and too good to be true, which was what made Adam become slightly wary of who Jaspal was and how he was capable of such great feats.
"Who exactly are you?" asked Adam as he approached the comparingly short Jaspal and glared straight into his eyes.
Although the contact lenses that Adam was wearing were reducing the intimidating factor of his red eyes, what truly allowed him to intimidate and instil fear into his enemies was his thick killing intent that his Bloodlust characteristic gave him.
Adam was learning to use his killing intent that formed an aura around him to bear down and put pressure on a target, which would make them fear him and make them more likely to submit to him.
"Um, um, I am Jaspal just like I told you" stuttered Jaspal as he backed away from Adam frightened by his eyes and aura.
The previous intelligent and confident attitude that Jaspal displayed disappeared as he began to visibly shake in fear.
[Well that confirms that he isn\'t a cultivator and he is surprisingly weak willed] thought Adam to himself as he saw Jaspal submit to him.
"But who are you really, where did you come from, where did you study, tell me everything about you" enquired Adam as he continued to approach Jaspal that was slowly backing away from him.
"I am Elizabeth\'s servant and am born from an ancient family that used to serve Elizabeth\'s ancient family and my life\'s purpose is to serve Elizabeth. In order to do so I studied in everything you could imagine to become her trusted informant and assistant as the last survivor of my servent family" blurted out Jaspal who was finding it hard to withhold any information from Adam.
"Leave him alone Adam" stated Elizabeth as she tried to pull him away from Jaspal.
Adam was instantly worried that he had gotten into a partnership with somebody that had a much larger background than he had imagined as his hunter instincts kicked in.
"I do not wish to harm anybody, but my main priority is my own survival and safety, so do not make any sudden movements and force my hand until I am comfortable and have gathered enough information from you both" warned Adam who realised just how much he didn\'t know about the two that stood in the secret lair with him.
From his tone and aura, Elizabeth knew he wasn\'t joking and felt that she had no other choice but to tell Adam the story of her ancestors and that of Jaspal\'s family, that was a loyal servant family to her own.
After hearing everything that she told him, it was obvious to Adam that the other families that were on par with her ancient family in the past were the current large families of New York.
"Okay fine, but you should have told me about this sooner" stated Adam who was beginning to calm down after Elizabeth had explained her past along with Jaspal\'s.
"You crazy bastard, I really thought you were going to kill us there" exclaimed Elizabeth after seeing that Adam had calmed down.
"You should have been honest with me in the first place" stated Adam as he shrugged off her insults uncaringly.
