Chapter 242 - First Faction Members
"Chase I will be leaving you here. Make sure that those two don't leave and also make sure that they don't die" instructed Adam as Chase nodded his head in affirmation.
"You will start to clean up this mess and regain control of this Auction House and also liquidise all your assets and prepare to sell everything you own" ordered Adam to Elizabeth.
"Why? What are you planning?" asked Elizabeth who was confused by his orders.
He didn't seem to want or need money from her and had said that he was her subordinate, which she had accepted, but Adam hadn't told her what he was planning.
"I will be creating my own faction and the first two members will be you and Chase. This faction will be a neutral faction that has alliances with all the big cultivation families and organisations that I trust and respect. The main aim of the faction is to crush evil cultivators and all evil cultivation organisations and will become the strongest cultivation organisation in the world" announced to them Adam.
His idea sounded crazy and unrealistic, but with a aim, his drive and potential, along with the connections that he had formed with capable others, it seemed possible.
"I hereby pledge my loyalty to you as your subordinate and will try my best to grow your faction" vowed Elizabeth.
"Words are flimsy and useless. It is your actions that matter and I have become allied with the young family heads of two of the large cultivation families that you detest. It was Jaspal that kept reigniting that flame of hate in your heart and its weight was heavy because you have inherited it for generations. But the two young family heads are my friends and have never done anything to you, so who are you trying to get revenge on. Your anger clouded your judgement and blinded you" stated Adam.
"I am looking for an ambitious, loyal and capable subordinate, which I can see in you, but you don't see it in yourself. Cultivation isn't everything and your value is in management, leadership and planning, but if you hold onto hate that you can't even act upon or get revenge for, then you are merely wasting your time and energy" continued Adam.
Adam hoped that his words were enough to reignite the ambition and show Elizabeth that she had been living her life wrong, as in the broken state that she was in, she wouldn't be of much use.
{Ding, the host's Charisma Stat has gone up by 1 Stat Point because the host was a leader and commander} announced Ava.
Although she could talk informally to him, she was still bound by the system's program and had to announce the notifications in the way that the program forced her to.
Hearing the notification, Adam smiled and wanted to try out how powerful the Charm Skill was and Angela Valdez, who he was going to meet soon, was the perfect person.
Since he had left Chase and Elizabeth their orders, he was ready to leave and go to the location that his aunt had sent him, but his clothes were drenched in blood and so were his hands and face.
Elizabeth had accepted everything that Adam said and knew that he was right as she stood up and sorted out her clothes.
Seeing the state that Adam was in, she said, "Master, my personal room is around the corner and there is a shower in there. For clothes you can look in the guards' rooms or Jaspal's room".
"Hahahaha, don't call me master. Just call me Adam and thanks for letting me know" said Adam before leaving to wash himself up and change into a new set of clothes that weren't drenched in blood.
Adam was quite sure that his aunt was safe, but he wanted to be as quick as he could and so that he could confirm that his aunt was safe and also deal with those that dared to kidnap her.
[I am going to go over the speed limit and want to go as quickly as possible, so should probably use the black form of my motorcycle. Although Jaspal was an asshole, he did one good thing with his talents] thought Adam to himself as he rushed to his motorcycle.
The clothes he was wearing were quite baggy as the guards' clothes were too big for him, while Jaspal's clothes were too small to even fit on him.
Getting into the lift and leaving the building, Adam was in a fresh black suit that the guards would wear, but it was too big for him and looked quite weird, but he didn't care and rushed to the car park.
Reaching his motorcycle, after making sure that there wasn't anyone watching, he pressed the button that transformed the motorcycle.
After 10 seconds it went from an ordainry looking motorcycle to a slick, all-black motorcycle that was bulletproof, had a covered licence plate and was extremely quick.
Adam's prepared nature made it so that he would always fill up the motorcycle's fuel tank, so he didn't have to worry about running out of fuel as he drove dangerously quickly towards the location that his aunt sent him.
If Adam went according to the speed limit, it would take him 2 hours to reach the warehouse that his aunt had been held at, but with him going as quickly as he could without crashing, he reached it in around half an hour.
Driving as quickly as he could, Adam drifted into the warehouse that was open and found 5 men that sat in a small puddle of blood and were tied up.
"What took you so long?" asked a voice that Adam recognised as Angela's.
Adam ignored her and hugged his aunt that rushed towards him as he relaxed after confirming that she was safe.
Seeing Adam hug his adoptive mother, Angela smile and he looked like a normal, handsome and young man that cared for his family, but that all changed as a powerful killing intent suddenly began to emit from his body.
