Chapter 444 - Captured?

"Adam, be careful. If it really is Major Carlson, his squad is known for its deadly weaponry. Even the NYPD Head has to be respectful and wary of him"

Adam smiled and, although he appreciated Angela Valdez's warning, there was no need for her to fear.

He wasn't even planning on fighting them in the city, as that would merely cause unneeded destruction.

Instead, the information source and lead to the military had come straight to him.

Adam stood in the middle of the street and a few minutes later, the 4 cars all parked around him and 4 armed figures jumped out of each one.

"Place your hands above your heads. We will be taking you with us"

They were all armed with large guns, and from what Adam could sense, they were enhanced weapons that could even threaten him.

The weapons had been enhanced with energy and some unknown technology in order to make the bullets faster and more powerful.

Adam trusted his instincts and that meant that he couldn't allow them to shoot, especially at such a close range.

He could still take them all down with ease, but that wasn't his plan.

"Drop your weapons and follow my orders. " 

The Charm Skill.

Adam didn't even need to look into each of their eyes.

His aura, charisma, and presence were enough for all of them to instantly submit and do as he said.

Angela, who was watching from the window of the cafe, was amazed by how easily and peacefully Adam was able to get them all to submit using a few words.

It confirmed to her that Adam seemed to have the capability to control and manipulate others.

"Where is Major Carlson, and where did you all come from?"

"He is in the underground facility for the Cultivator Defence and Research Department. It is a part of the military and we were raised and trained there. That is where our weapons were produced and there are many others, while there are also monsters that were experimented on. " 

Their answer was surprisingly detailed, but their mouth moved on its own accord and all of their bodies would do anything that Adam told them to.

"Get back in the cars and escort me there immediately. Just pretend I was captured and get me to the front gate," ordered Adam as he got into the back of one of the cars.

Before Angela Valdez could even register everything that had occurred and react, the 4 cars had already driven off and, like that, Adam slipped out of her hands once again.

However, talking with Adam had helped her realise her purpose, and she was beginning to realise that her body couldn't handle her ambitions, but there was always a way to make up for that.

Adam sat comfortably in the back of the large car and all the soldiers riding in the car with him didn't even dare to look at him.

To them, it felt as though there was a knife to their throats, while they also felt compelled to follow Adam's orders.

The Charm Skill made them feel awe and respect towards Adam, but also fear and reverence.

They drove as quickly as they possibly could and since it was a secret facility that was under a military base, they would first need to enter a military base.

"You have returned quickly. Have you already completed your duty?" questioned one of the guards stationed at the front of the large military base.

The military base was outside the city in a large empty area and at the front gate, there were dozens of guards with guns aimed at anything that approached.

The car was recognised by them, but it was unusual for them to return to quickly.

They didn't know how to answer, since they were unsure what Adam would want them to say.

With a few words, Adam was able to make them completely submit to him and become his loyal subordinates. 

Thinking about it, using his Charm Skill, taking over the entire military base would be easy, however, that would cause too much of a commotion.

Adam would decide what he would do next once he entered the military base and saw what exactly the secret facility had to offer, but he didn't have high hopes and also needed to use Major Carlson as an example.

There was nothing for Adam to fear, and he was ready to take on the world.

To make sure that something like that didn't repeat itself and to make sure that no one dared to become enemies with him or the faction, Adam needed to show off to the world.

Getting out of the car, Adam walked nonchalantly.

"Who are you?" 

Dozens of red lasers appeared on Adam's body and he was aimed at by multiple snipers and guards at the front gate.

"Kneel" he bellowed.

His voice resounded throughout the area and all that heard it or were within his range were unable to resist his order.

Kneeling on the ground, the soldiers all lowered their heads and instantly submitted to Adam as he walked past.

He was able to subdue and control powerful and wild beasts using his Charisma Stat and Charm Skill, so some soldiers was easy.

Walking into the military base, Adam was impressed by its size and wanted the Sentinels Faction to form something similar around the mountainous region that he had specified.

There were all sorts of vehicles and hundreds of patrolling and armed soldiers, while there were also soldiers training.

So far, all Adam had seen were ordinary soldiers and as he walked past, all of them would collapse to the ground or lose consciousness.

Adam was releasing most of the power of his aura and killing intent, not holding back.

He would much rather be low key and start looking for his aunt, but he hated being schemed against and would never show mercy to an enemy.

If one is poking the bear, they can only expect to be ripped to shreds.

"Come on out, stop hiding. You wanted to capture me, so here I am"
