BXBX NOVEL Chapter 269 - Returning To Master's Dojo
The head of the NYPD couldn\'t argue with Adam anyway, but since he had saved and healed him, he didn\'t want to seem ungrateful or disrespectful.
"Stacey go to the doctor and when your wrist is bandaged up, you will come back and apologise to Adam" instructed the NYPD head.
"But... but"
"No buts, go and do as I say. Now leave" he ordered as she did as he said, being scolded by her grandfather for the first time.
"Wait here for one minute Adam. I will clean myself and get the contracts so that we can talk properly and I apologise if you feel offended in any way" said the NYPD head respectfully before leaving after his granddaughter.
Adam sat on the chair and entered his mindscape as he relaxed in his mindscape with Ava and awaited the NYPD head\'s return.
With Ava having gained sentience, she was much more open to sharing information with Adam that she was allowed to and whenever Adam could find the time, he would ask her questions about anything he was curious about or didn\'t know.
After a few minutes, the head of the NYPD returned with a few sheets of paper in his hands and he had cleaned himself up and changed the clothes he was wearing that were stained with blood.
"Before we begin, I would like to thank you for saving me and apologise for my granddaughter\'s behaviour. I hope this doesn\'t affect our alliance" said the NYPD head.
"I don\'t have time for this. I am not going to hold a grudge about her attempting to punch me as she ended up getting hurt anyway and I just want to finish this and leave" replied Adam directly.
The NYPD head nodded his head and sat beside Adam, then placed the documents before him.
Adam looked at each of the pages for a few seconds, then turned to the NYPD head and asked for a pen.
"Are you not going to read the contract? What if I added something secretly?" asked the NYPD head.
"First of all, I did read through it. Secondly, you wouldn\'t dare to do so as you know I would kill you, and even if you did, what is a flimsy piece of paper with some words on it going to do. Are you going to take me to court?" answered Adam confidently.
"Listen, I will give you a friendly piece of advice. You need to train your guards who seem loyal as cultivators and completely change your mindset. Power in this world is secretly only given to those with cultivation power and if you think you are powerful, you haven\'t seen anything and can be killed within an instant"
Taking the pen that the NYPD head handed over to him, Adam signed the contract quickly then handed it over to him.
"You are deciding to get involved with cultivators, so you should be careful and nothing can be hidden for long these days. My Faction is known as the Sentinels and you will give them complete freedom in the city from now on and you can be sure that they won\'t be causing trouble but will merely be expanding. The fact that I am the leader should be kept secret and if there is something urgent in the next year before our alliance is in action, you can try and contact them and tell them that you are an acquaintance of mine" stated Adam as he got up to leave.
"Are you leaving so soon?" asked the NYPD head, who wanted to show Adam his appreciation for healing him, knowing that without his help, he probably would have died.
"Yes, and I will give you another piece of advice just because we will be in an alliance in the future. You were poisoned and the poison was deadly and damaged your internal organs. You need a few days rest and you can probably feel a lot of energy and warmth spreading around your body, which will help you recover to your peak. Be careful with who you keep around you as it seems as though somebody wants to get rid of you" informed him Adam before leaving the room and heading back towards the hatch that he had broken in from.
The NYPD head was shocked by that revelation and thought that it was merely some sort of illness or old age that was getting to him, but it seems as though he was mistaken.
He didn\'t know who it could be, but he trusted Adam and knew that he had no reason to lie to him, especially after he had saved him.
\'It is time for me to become more active in my role as the NYPD head and it is time to reform, improve and strengthen my agency for the safety of this city\'
Remembering something, Adam went back to the room the NYPD head was still sat in.
"Oh, and you should also prepare yourself for some big changes in this city that might even affect the entire country. Territory, resources and power are what most cultivators are fighting for and a war will probably soon erupt" warned Adam, before heading back towards the hatch.
[Illussaion Barriers can only do so much to hide cultivation, but the destruction will be the same and it is best that I warned him now so that he can try his best to prepare himself and protect the civilians] thought Adam to himself as he climbed up the ladder and left the Underground Base.
He had sorted out everything that he had to sort out in the city before leaving and he had already bid farewell to those that he cared about, so all that was left was to buy some snacks and head to his master.
Adam had complete faith in all of his friends and was excited to see how much they would progress in the next year and they felt the same way about him.
With their help and the Dungeon System with him, there was nothing that could stop Adam as he drove towards his master\'s dojo with a duffel bag along with his storage compartments filled with snacks.
