While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

{Adam, I really do want to help you, but ahhhh} said Ava within his mind before screaming in pain.

[What happened?] asked Adam who was worried for Ava who suddenly screamed in pain, but was also confused about how she could feel pain.

{I can't go against the system's program. After gaining sentience, it was as though I have a soul now that is within your mind and bound to yours, and it feels as though my existence is going to be ripped apart when I try to go against the program} stated Ava.

[Don't worry about it, Ava. I appreciate you trying to help me, but I can handle this] thanked Adam.

Adam walked over to Jaspal, grabbed him from his collar and stated, "Jaspal, do you really think I would let you live after you tried to kill me. I don't care about them or the government, and my power is my own, not yours to use to become the king".

"Return my aunt and beg for forgiveness, then I might give you a quick death, but if not...." said Adam before pausing and releasing all his killing intent that caused Japsla to collapse to his knees.

If it were anyone else they would have lost consciousness, but Jaspal's willpower was surprisingly strong as he kept his consciousness and was still managing to stay calm.

"For someone that isn't a cultivator, you are quite amazing. But your life will be ending today for messing with me" said Adam as he began searching through Jaspal's pockets and took his phone.

Jaspal was powerless to resist, but smiled as Adam searching him showed that he did worry and care for his adoptive mother as much as he had hoped.

[He said 10 minutes and my aunt could be anywhere by now and probably in a secure location, so there isn't much I can do but make a deal with Jaspal. Although he is untrustworthy and disloyal, I have no other choice and there must be one thing he wants that I can give him] thought Adam to himself.

So many different scenarios ran through Adam's mind and each one ended in his aunt's death and his own survival, even if he chose to submit to Jaspal.

There was nothing he himself could do unless there was a miracle or Jaspal let his aunt go.

Adam stood before Jaspal and decided that he would wait the 10 minutes and cooperate with Jaspal for the time being, until he found the chance to save his aunt or a miracle occurred.

[If only I could get Angela to search Brooklyn using her family's power and find my aunt. But that would reveal my aunt to her family and it is also unlikely that they would be able to find her] thought Adam to himself.

Meanwhile, Angela Valdez, the Angela that Adam hadn't even thought would be of any use, was pursuing a large white van in her undercover car that was quite ordinary.

Angela had been hooked onto the hooded and masked man that had appeared on many crime scenes and always managed to get away and didn't want to let him get away again.

A while before, the captain that saw her as a talented and capable detective and also as a daughter, as he had watched her grow and adopted her after she left her family that was being destroyed by crime, called her into his office.

As the captain of quite a large precinct, he was briefed by the Major that looked over all the precincts in New York and since he was fairly new, it was his first large meeting.

In that meeting, the existence of cultivation and supernatural things were revealed to them along with the existence of the large cultivation families. Those who were at the captain rank and above in the police were trusted with the truth about cultivation by the government and even more of the military of the country knew about it and were researching it.

The country and government even had cultivators of their own and had soldiers from all sorts of cultivation families to join them by offering their families and the soldiers great benefits, but it was a great shock to the captain. 

In that meeting, they were briefed about many famous individuals in the Underground World Of Cultivation and one of them was Adam Green, the adoptive son of Jannet Green and most well-known as the hooded criminal.

It was a great shock that someone so young was such a powerful cultivator and the Captain was ordered to instruct one of his trusted detectives to investigate and observe Adam and those around him, without engaging or making an enemy of him.

Coexistence was the main aim of the government and the military who were aiming to increase their cultivation power as much as possible before acting upon any of the large cultivation families or trying to keep the cultivators in the country in check.

The Captain took a sworn oath, where if he went against it and revealed the information without permission, he would be killed, but they were sure that after working for decades to reach the captain position, one would be willing to do what the government instructed.

He told everything to Angela who was his most trusted detective and although he knew she could be reckless at times, she would almost always do her job well and he sent her out to observe and investigate the target.

All the large and hidden organisations around the country that knew about cultivation were gathering their power and all the information about other cultivators they could in preparation for anything that might occur in the future.

Adam being placed on the list of dangerous cultivators by the government placed a target on his head and revealed his identity to many, but could also be seen as a way of protection as he would have detectives tailing him and investigating what he was doing.

With Adam's luck being higher than normal and everything working out in his favour, Angela Valdez became his unexpected saviour.
