Chapter 236 - Jaspal's Betrayal Part 1
SLAP
Jaspal swung his arm as quickly and hard as he could and slapped Elizabeth across the face as he began to shout, "You dare to call me your servant. I was merely acting that way to use your connections and money, but now you aren't of much use. You are too stupid and just like Adam said, were blinded, so it was easy for me to use you to do my own bidding".
Elizabeth was slapped off her chair, while Adam and Chase, who could have stopped the slap, stood there and watched the show.
Adam had thought that he would have a problem with Elizabeth and although he had a feeling that Jaspal was up to something, he had never expected him to bare his fangs so soon.
All the times that Jaspal had influenced her to do things that she didn't agree with began to flow through Elizabeth's mind and she realised that she herself didn't hold much hate, but it was Jaspal who had kept pushing her towards it.
Every decision that Elizabeth made that she felt bad about or negatively affected others was influenced by Jaspal and she realised just how stupid and naive she had been.
"So everyone is showing their true colours. The naive young lady, who thought that she was in control, was being manipulated and isn't actually bad. While the servant has revealed himself as the one that was secretly in control and is an evil bastard" stated Adam.
Adam wouldn't be surprised if Jaspal was part of the Evil Organisation in the shadows, as although the Silver Moon Auction House was a small and weak organisation, the identity of the master was incredible.
[I will spare Elizabeth and see if she is of any use, but I also won't kill Jaspal until after I interrogate him] decided Adam.
"You be quiet. I will give you a chance to submit to me, otherwise, I will have to crush you" offered Jaspal.
Adam and Chase with their sharp senses could sense dozens of men converging on the room and they all seemed to be armed with guns, but Adam still calm and held Chase's arm before he could.
"Just relax and be ready" instructed Adam.
"Put your hands up now and don't try anything unless you want to die" shouted Jaspal as dozens of guards began swarming into the room and aimed their guns at Adam.
Adam still had a smile on his face and after seeing the sorry state that Elizabeth was in where she could only cry uncontrollably without being able to do anything else, Adam pitied her.
[I was planning on forming my own faction soon and her management and medical knowledge will be useful. If I save her here and make sure that she pledges her loyalty to me, I will leave her to form the faction for me while I train. No matter how strong I am, there is only so much one person can do and I need to always have people stationed with my aunt to protect her] decided Adam.
"Jaspal you betrayed your master and are now pointing guns at me and her. What are you planning?" asked Adam who wanted to find out as much as he could from Jaspal before he killed him and all the other guards.
Despite the guards having automated weapons, Adam could dodge bullets with his current speed that was more than 9 times that of an ordinary human and matched with his Step Skip Skill, he could kill the guards before they could even pull the trigger.
No matter what weaponry you had, if you could be killed before you could activate it, it would be useless.
"Hahaha, you think that you will live to tell the tale, but you won't. I am planning on taking over not only this city, but the entire country and will start from where Elizabeth left off. All of her most trusted guards and subordinates are now under me and I have been planning this and using her for years. Such a stupid person could never be the leader of anything" mocked Jaspal.
"Evil Cultivation," said Adam randomly, wanting to see if Jaspal would react to it, but he didn't react.
"Evil Cultivation, ordinary cultivation. Everything is fair in this cruel world and I will always be on top" declared Jaspal as he continued to laugh evilly as his plan was finally coming to fruition.
Jaspal took a few steps back and moved behind the guards before ordering them, "Kill them all".
However before he even finished his instruction, Adam had thrown Chase towards Elizabeth and instructed him to protect her with his hardening ability, then disappeared from where he stood.
Adam had already prepared himself for a fight, which he had expected would be with Elizabeth and her subordinates, but he didn't expect that Jaspal would have been so evil, disloyal and scheming.
Adam's 10 inventory spaces were all taken up by weapons after he returned and removed all the clothes from them, and withdrew two daggers from the inventory.
[These guards a probably just following orders and must have a family at home, but they shouldn't have aimed their guns at me without reason just because they were ordered to. No matter their reasoning, they became my enemies as soon as they came in with weapons aimed at me and Chase] thought Adam to himself who felt no guilt as he slashed them apart.
"Become fuel for my Bloodlust" he roared as he circled around the room and slashed all the guards that had surrounded them with his daggers.
Using the Step Skip and Dagger Jolt Skill his speed was too fast for the guards to follow and despite their numbers and their weapons, they were still all slashed apart by Adam's daggers.
They had sprayed hundreds of bullets around the room in their last moments of life, but with Chase using his body as a shield around Elizabeth and Adam moving too quckl,y none of them landed on their targets.
It was over in seconds as all the guards lay dead on the floor while Adam stood there drenched in their blood as he smiled and glared at Jaspal.
