Chapter 450 - Unexpected Intervention

Adam wanted to kill the Silent Ghost and Major Carlson, then leave and continue his journey, however just as his blades neared the next of Major Carlson, Adam suddenly felt his arms be grabbed.

Since Adam was angry and truly wanted to kill the Silent Ghost, his Bloodlust was starting to be unleashed, but he never expected that somebody could intervene in their battle and even stop him while he was in that state.

It was a middle-aged man that was quite handsome.

He was wearing a suit, was tall and was well-kempt, with short hair and a small stubble.

Everything about him seemed ordinary, but that was what frightened Adam as no normal person could even dream of stopping their battle.

"Could you do me a favour and spare him for me, please?"

Adam felt the grip on his arms loosen and jumped backwards, intimidated and wary of the man that intervened in their battle.

He couldn't even sense his presence or see him coming, while his instincts were telling him that whoever that person was, they were extremely dangerous.

Adam couldn't sense any power or hostility emanating from his body, but for the first time, Adam felt his body feel scared.

Even in the face of all the beasts and creatures he had come across so far in the dungeon, Adam had never felt fear to that extent.

He was still staying calm, but all he wanted to do was get away from that man.

Despite that, he couldn't allow just anyone to intervene in their battle while he also wanted to kill Major Carlson, so he didn't turn and try to run away.

Preparing himself to switch to his Soul Form at any moment or use the Step Skip Skill to try to get away, Adam glared at the mysterious man that appeared out of nowhere.

"Who the hell are you?" asked Adam directly.

Adam could see that the Silent Ghost seemed to recognise him and was shocked to see the Silent Ghost lower his head and stand behind him like a servant.

It was clear that whoever he was; he was a powerful and influential person, but despite that, Adam was still confident and calm.

His body was afraid, but also pumped with adrenaline and ready to fight or try to get away at any moment, while Adam was also always calm and level-headed in the face of danger.

"I am the current master of the US Cultivator Defence. The name's Nathaniel," the man said nonchalantly.

He made it seem as though he was saying something normal, however, his position gave him absolute power over one of the biggest and most powerful countries.

Adam knew that he had no chance against him and was unsure whether even if he used all his trump cards, he could take him on, so had no choice but to calm down and negotiate with him.

Withdrawing his weapons, suppressing his Bloodlust and completely calming down, Adam stood up straight and confidently as he faced the man, but also not arrogantly, not wanting to start a battle that he knew he couldn't win.

"It is good that you know your limits. That is a quality that many cultivators don't have and eventually get them killed, but you are still calm and thinking rationally, which is impressive, especially with all that bloodlust that you are harbouring,"

"Yes, it is a good quality to have, but I will not allow the offence of being schemed against and eliminated slide. If you do not let me kill him and keep your dogs on a tighter leash, then I will be back and you can expect me to cause troubles for your department," 

Adam couldn't compare to the man in power, but he wasn't going to back down and the man before him seemed to be willing to talk to Adam, otherwise, he would already be dead.

"I don't want such incompetent people in my organisation. Not having any power and daring to act so brazenly using my men,"

As he said that, the body of Major Carlson suddenly exploded and all that was left where he lay was a splatter of blood.

He was watching everything unfold and couldn't believe how much of a commotion his actions had caused to the point that even the mysterious and revered Master appeared.

Major Carlson's organs were launched all over the place and it was a gruesome, but impressive way to kill someone.

Adam was amazed by what had occurred.

He looked and dressed like a normal middle-aged man, and yet he killed with such ease with a smile on his face.

Adam was also impressed by how he killed the Major

He managed to release and control a compressed wave of energy that he aimed at him, then released it once he reached his body.

That level of energy control and power was unbelievable, even for Adam, and he couldn't help but become even more wary and impressed by the individual before him.

"I came here to kill him, anyway. It seemed he had such a strong grudge towards you for some reason that he even formed connections with that pesky Blood Moon Group. They are too capable and have their hands everywhere. It has reached a point where I no longer know who to trust,"

Adam was slightly relieved that he was an enemy of the Blood Moon Group, but he was by no means planning on trusting the man completely, and was only displaying a strong front because he had no choice but to cooperate with the man.

With every second that passed, Adam was amazed by the man even more and his next words caused him to instantly use the Step Skip Skill to get as far away from the man as possible.

"I also came here for you,"

Adam didn't know his intentions, but he wasn't planning on waiting to find out and since he knew the man's speed was greatly higher than his own, he used the Step Skip Skill without even waiting for the man to move.
