BXBX NOVEL Chapter 262 - Converging At The Meeting Point
In a spacious office within a heavily guarded underground facility, an old man sat on his chair had a smile on his face as he put his phone down.
"I assume the call went well," said his assistant.
"Yes, we have formed an alliance with Adam Green and also the faction that he is forming" answered the old man.
"Are you going to report this to him?" asked his assistant.
"No, this is something that we can keep low for now. We have a year before the alliance is active anyway and for now, we should just use the alliance and gather information about Adam and other cultivators. I will make the NYPD an agency that is independent and no longer has to rely on them for help when it comes to dealing with cultivators" said the old man as he stood up and prepared to leave.
Meanwhile, Adam who was sat on a bench in a park beside Angela Valdez also had a smile on his face and was satisfied with the alliance he was going to form with the NYPD and also the attitude of the head of the NYPD.
"Did you just end the call with the head of the NYPD before bidding him farewell and giving him the chance to speak?!" exclaimed Angela.
"Yup and now I need to go. You can delete my number or keep it, but I will not answer any of your calls for the next year. You cannot arrest me since I now have an alliance with the NYPD and even if you try, I won\'t let you" stated Adam.
"You aren\'t a bad person, but don\'t get over your head. Stick to investigating normal thugs and don\'t stick your head into cultivation too much, unless you want it chopped off" warned Adam before disappearing and dashing off into the distance.
"Wait..." Angela wailed before realising that he was already gone.
She couldn\'t understand what he was thinking or planning and hadn\'t decided whether or not he was good or bad, but she couldn\'t do that anymore and knew that he was going to disappear for a year.
Although she was disappointed, she wanted to check in with her captain and the precinct and also report to him what she had seen and heard.
Everything that was happening around her was becoming crazier and crazier and the biggest reason for that was her repeatedly running into Adam.
She was unsure whether it was good or bad luck, but Adam had made it clear that he didn\'t want a connection with her, so she could only continue doing her job and try her best to make her city a safer place.
Adam who had dashed out of the park, stopped after reaching a small food stall that looked nice and was planning to get a nice meal before going to meet all of his friends and allies at Brooklyn Bridge Park
After that, he was going to confirm the alliance with the head of the NYPD then head to his master to train for an entire year and become as powerful as possible.
Ava had guaranteed Adam that no damage would be suffered by his aunt\'s soul until after a year and a half, so after experiencing the aura and power of the Evil Soul within her, Adam was sure that it was right to step back and prepare himself to save her.
He knew that she would experience a lot of hardship in the time that he was training and knew that it was a selfish decision, but Adam was too weak and was becoming complacent with the small amount of power that he had.
Comparing himself to the weak that he had come across, Adam felt powerful, but any elder of any of the large cultivation families would still be able to quite easily crush him and he was still yet to become an Advanced Cultivator.
[Aunt, I am sorry, but I will make sure to become strong enough so that I can make sure that nothing like this ever happens again] vowed Adam who was feeling guilty that he could sit around and eat a tasty meal while his aunt was probably suffering or having to experience her body commit atrocious acts.
Ordering enough food to feed multiple families, which shocked the couple that were in charge of the food stall, Adam ate it all before paying them generously and leaving.
There were so many things that were going around Adam and so many things that he had been through, but he had been able to overcome them all and he was planning to do the same with his current situation.
[It should be about time that we met at Brooklyn Bridge Park and if I jog there, I should get there at the meeting time] estimated Adam.
With that, Adam jogged across Brooklyn towards the meeting point that he had set, but he had underestimated how long it would take him to get there if he jogged slowly.
He was talking to Ava and lost track of time as he checked to see that he was already 10 minutes late, while he was still quite far away.
[I can\'t talk anymore, I need to speed up] said Adam to Ava before dashing towards the meeting point at his full speed.
Meanwhile at Brooklyn Bridge Park, Cole, Angela Maxwell, Wayde Chase, Elizabeth and Chase had all arrived at the meeting point and were walking around the park waiting and looking for Adam.
Angela and Wayde recognised Cole and went over to him, while Chase and Elizabeth hadn\'t been introduced to them and didn\'t know them, so were still waiting alone.
Cole had come with 2 elders from the Epstein Family that had insisted that they should go with him to protect him from all of those that were targeting him, while Angela had Wayde with her, and he was more than enough protection.
"Just what you would expect from Adam. Late to his own meeting" said Cole who had a nervous expression, knowing that Adam wouldn\'t call him for a face to face meeting unless it was for something important.
