The Omnipotent System

Chapter 7: Recruiting The J's

John, not willing to let the matter go, said, "How can I want to hear your offer if I don't even know your name?"

Adams sighed. "Since you want the cat out of the bag so badly, I will indulge you." Looking into the eyes of the Connors, he smiled and continued, "My name is Adams Albert."

When they heard the name, their expressions changed to fear. According to Adams, he must have heard what Jack said about his family.

James, visibly shaken for his son's life, quickly knelt to plead, "Young master, I'm sorry for what my son said about your family. Please show mercy to him." Thinking it wasn't enough, he took hold of Jack's hands and forced him to kneel. "Brat, apologize to the young master."

Jack stammered, "I'm sorry for what I said earlier. Please don't hurt my family for my sin."

Adams laughed heartily. "Hahahahahaha, God, this is too funny."

Seeing Adams laugh so loudly, the Connors were even more terrified, thinking he was one of those crazy young masters. Even the onlookers took pity on the Connors when they realized their situation.

One onlooker sighed, "They are done for."

Another said, "It is a pity that a member of the Alberts family is here."

A third added, "They might meet the god of death today."

The Connors were thinking the same thing and could only despair, feeling they were doomed.

Adams stopped laughing and smiled. "Man, I knew this would happen. That's why I never intended to tell you my name. Well, that's in the past." Still smiling, he continued, "Now, are you ready to listen to what I have to say, John, James, Jack, and Janice?"

Boom! The sound seemed to echo in their minds as they realized the man before them knew their names. That's when they remembered he called John by name when he first approached.

John stuttered, "You... you... how... how did you know our names?"

Adams smiled mysteriously but didn't answer.

Janice, rarely speaking, asked, "What do you want with us?"

Adams looked at her and smiled. "Simple. I want you to work for me, or should I say, follow me, and I will lead you to greatness."

James asked, "But why us? We don't have anything to offer."

Adams replied, "Oh, you do. You just don't know it yet."

Jack, still on his knees, asked, "What's that, if I may ask?"

Adams looked at Jack and said, "Stand up, Jack. Here's what I mean: John here has a knack for getting information. You twins are talented but lack the resources to grow, and the same goes for you, James. Now, with me, you can achieve what you truly desire." While saying this, he remembered a certain someone who always asked people what they desired and smiled, thinking of using that character very soon.

John kept quiet, pondering what he should decide. Finally, he asked, "What are you going to achieve by helping us?"

"A very capable group of subordinates," Adams replied.

James hesitated. "Can you give us some time to come up with a decision?"

Adams nodded. "Very well. I will be waiting for your answer within four days, after which we will be going to the capital."

"Thank you, young master," James said.

"It's alright. But if you think of running, just know that the four of you won't be able to leave Grelin City," Adams said, smiling. He then began to leave while reversing time to the period before he approached them, making the onlookers unaware of their conversation, leaving the Connors even more shocked.

"What have we gotten ourselves into?" John muttered.

James blamed Jack, "This is all this brat's fault."

Jack kept his face down, silent.

John shook his head. "No, from what I think, he was paying attention to us. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known what we were talking about, and from what I've seen, he wasn't taking the matter regarding his family seriously."

Janice nodded. "I see why he likes you, Gramps."

Chuckling, John replied, "Even I don't know myself that well."

Jack interjected, "Umm, is it me or have you all forgotten that he reversed time just now, making only us remember what happened?"

James sighed. "We all saw it."

John said, "That was him showing us what he can do."

Janice, a lady of few words, stated, "I say we accept his offer."

Jack, concerned, asked, "What about Mom and Grandma? And besides, Mom is also pregnant."

John replied, "We will talk about that when he comes for our answer. And if you have forgotten, we are locked in this city."

The Connors discussed what to do and decided to call it a day.

In his room at the inn, Adams lay on his bed, discerning the possible events that would unfold in a few days. "Hahahahaha, this is going to be fun," he laughed after what he saw. "Well, let's call it a day."

---

Just like that 2 days passed.

Adams:" today is the day Anderson should awake, I should buy him a weapon, a mount and an armor. Jarvis get Anderson a spear, a dragon horse and a set of dragon armor,that should do and just send it to his inventory"

Jarvis: [Done]

After few hours, he opened a portal and a 7ft tall man, built like a mountain with big bulging muscles that his clothes struggle to contain. He is as solid as rock, with wide shoulders, veiny forearms and large hands. His crimson red with black at the tip of his curly hair flows freely, reaching the bottom of his chin. His eyes are of red color, a curious mix of black, while his skin is bronzed and has a healthy glow.

"Wow, you look like a giant now, hahahahaha" laughed Adams, then he decided checked his stats.
