Novel Bin Chapter 198 - Reporting Back To Angela And Wayde
Everything had turned out well for both sides, or so they believed, and all that was left was for them to spectate the battle and see what the outcome was.
Upon arriving at the area around the hotel, Adam told the taxi driver to stop and paid him the fee. Leaving the taxi, he walked into a dark alleyway to put on his disguise using the Disguise Illusion Stone, before heading into the hotel.
It was already late and Angela and Wayde were worried since they hadn\'t heard from Adam in a while and didn\'t know what he was planning, but Adam didn\'t sit idly the entire day, and had helped Cole prepare for the battle.
[I will hunt on Floor 5 until 8 am, then I will wake up, use the Ethereal Recovery Skill to relax my mind, and prepare to go with Cole to his battle] planned Adam.
Walking back into the hotel, Adam had quite a pleased smile on his face and although there were a few things that were yet to be sorted out, overall he was happy with how everything was turning out.
Adam had found that stressing and allowing things to overwhelm him was merely a waste of his energy and time, and it was much better for him to stay relaxed and happy, which he was learning to do.
No matter how many bad things came his way, he would overcome them and he couldn\'t complain about anything with all the luck and things that he had. He knew that there were many people that were still stuck in the position that he was in a few months ago, and that there were also people in worse positions than that.
Knowing that he had no reason to complain and it felt good to be able to help people once in a while to keep his conscience clear, other than that, Adam wanted to stay happy. What Adam had realised, which Mason, Damian and the great elder of the Epstein Family were yet to realise, was that there was no point pursuing wealth, power and influence if you couldn\'t enjoy it.
That would just be a waste of time and effort and would also make it so that their minds weren\'t stable, which was a key element of cultivation.
Walking into the hotel room, as soon as he closed the door behind him, he was greeted by a whip formed of water that was being controlled by Angela.
Angela whipped it towards Adam, wanting to wrap it around his neck, but seeing the attack coming, although he was too slow to dodge it, with his new Unique Skill, as long as he could see or sense the attack, he could instantly move to an area nearby that was out of the attack\'s range.
Using the Step Skip Unique Skill, which had also become the skill that he used the most and was relied on by him the most, Adam emerged behind Angela whose attack was about to land on him.
Even Wayde, who stood beside Angela and was one of the most skilled and powerful cultivators in New York, didn\'t know how to react and wouldn\'t have been able to stop Adam from taking down Elizabeth if he wanted to.
"Calm down Angela, why are you attacking me?" asked Adam with a cheeky smile.
Adam enjoyed annoying and messing with Angela as with her arrogant and pompous attitude, it was very amusing and entertaining to see her reactions to his actions.
"What do you mean calm down? Where have you been all day and how the hell did you do that?" she exclaimed as she retracted her water whip and turned around to face Adam with an angry and annoyed expression.
"How did I do what?" asked Adam feigning ignorance, despite knowing that she was asking him how he managed to dodge her attack.
"How did you suddenly appear behind me?" she asked.
"I don\'t know what you\'re talking about" answered Adam as he shrugged and lay down comfortably on the nearby sofa.
"Ugh, you are so annoying Adam" she screamed, wanting to rip Adam to shreds.
Adam just laughed to himself, while Wayde was initially surprised by Adam\'s sudden appearance behind Angela that made it seem that he teleported. But after seeing Adam annoying Angela and joking around, he smiled slightly and felt amused and comfortable around them.
"Why didn\'t you answer your phone all day?" asked Angela who had called him many times.
Adam took his phone out of his pocket and once again it was smashed into pieces. Managing to salvage the sim card, Angela gave him a new phone that he could use. It was the standard issue of the Maxwell Family, and most other cultivators or influential people as they were untraceable, very durable and were still smartphones.
"Now to talk seriously. Tomorrow there is a three vs three battle between the two final candidates and we are on Cole\'s side, who is the candidate that is the most understanding and has agreed to form an alliance with us when he becomes the family head. I guarantee that you can trust him" stated Adam.
"What about the other candidate. Is it that Mason that we have heard about?" asked Angela.
"Yes and if Damian as half as crafty and intelligent as you say, he is most likely doing the same thing that we are doing with Cole, with Mason. The battle being a three against three causes there to be two unknown opponents, but I have an idea that might work, but requires your help" said Adam to Angela.
"What is it?" she asked.
She had believed in him and trusted him with everything else, so she might as well do so until the end and was curious to see what he was planning.
"I want the three man team to be me, you and Cole" revealed Adam, who had found a way to guarantee that the battle was as fair as possible and gave them a better chance of winning against Mason\'s team.
