Chapter 453 - Rapid Jet

With the storage bag in Adam's possession, Nathaniel continued walking and Adam did the same, with the angry and lifeless old man following behind them

"You make the most of any opportunity and even when faced with unbeatable opponents like myself, you still stand strong and never once lowered your gaze or showed signs of submitting,"

"No one is unbeatable. And I only submit to those that earn my respect," 

Laughing at Adam's response, Nathaniel got right into what his intentions towards Adam were.

"You are decisive, smart, ruthless and cold-hearted. While you are also kind-hearted towards those that are weak and innocent. The perfect character to succeed as a cultivator, while your charismatic and ambitious presence draws people to you. It makes others want to follow you or watch your grow,"

"So you are probably wondering where I stand right now if I do not want to become affiliated with your faction. The truth is, I want to become friends with you instead and our goals are aligned, so there is no need for conflict or enmity between us,"

His offer of friendship was more of a declaration of their friendship in which Adam had no choice, but he was slightly more relieved to hear that.

However, his trust wouldn't be earned that easily and someone like Nathaniel that was impossible to read could never be trusted.

Anyone that heard of Adam's past and background and had also seen what he was capable of would be intrigued by him.

In less than two years he became a Master Cultivator and made it into the Top Cultivator Ranking, while he also took over a city with the faction that he formed.

He did so from being a normal person without any influential backing, which meant that he must have some secret individual that was teaching him or had stumbled across some treasure.

Both were likely possibilities and there were also many others, but either way, Adam was still one to look out for.

However, Adam wanted to make it clear that friendship was something that wasn't offered with ulterior motives and wasn't something that one could force.

"If you want something from me, I don't have anything of much value. My master has passed on as of right now and I have nothing that you could possibly want," stated Adam bluntly, wanting to be transparent with Nathaniel.

He laughed and smiled like he usually did as he became even more interested in Adam.

The information he had on him wasn't enough to allow him to become who he was at that moment.

He went from normal to having a killing intent that one could only have after killing thousands of people, while he also had too many abilities that couldn't be explained by having a master.

"Don't worry boy, your secrets do interest me, but I have no intention of taking anything from you. It would be like taking candy from a baby. I am more interested in you and watching your future," 

He didn't seem to be lying, and the truth was that Nathaniel truly didn't want Adam's treasures or secrets.

However, that only made Nathaniel more mysterious and intimidating, seeing Adam as only a means to entertain himself.

"So, what now? Why did you tell me to follow you?" 

"We are going to go to one of the US Cultivator Defence's Main bases of operations. I'm assuming that you were planning on going on travelling and you must have things you would like to do, but since we are friends, why don't you come with me. I also have something that I would like to get you involved in," 

Adam didn't have much of a choice and knew that he was likely to have been keeping tabs on him and know everything about him, so there was no point denying that what he said was true.

"Lead the way. Let us see just how great your organisation is and what you have in store for me,"

Adam followed him, and they walked over to the other side of the military base.

As they neared it, a jet could be seen blitzing through the air and landing in the area that they were heading to.

The jet, unlike fighter jets, had enough room to comfortably accommodate a few people, however, it didn't sacrifice any speed in doing so.

In fact, it was one of the fastest of its kind in the world, but was made only for cultivators to be able to use.

No matter how much training you gave an ordinary person, the impact and effects of moving at such speeds couldn't be handled by an ordinary person.

With such a vehicle, travelling around the world without Space Crystals was still fast and since they were heading to a location in the country, it wouldn't take them very long to reach it.

Adam didn't even see him call or request for the jet's arrival, which meant that everything was likely to be going according to his plan.

He knew what he was capable of and that with the Dungeon System, he would have a great future and impact on the universe, but Nathaniel observing that, was not something that Adam wanted.

But since his hands were tied, he decided to make the most of the opportunity and gather as much information about the US Cultivator Defence, the ancients and the Blood Moon Group as he could.

Entering the jet, as soon as they sat down, it instantly burst into the air at unbelievable speeds.

Such things couldn't be possible with normal technology and it was likely to use arrays, runes and was likely to be fueled using a dense energy source.

Adam was impressed by the jet, but he was still more interested in what exactly Nathaniel wanted him to get involved in and also wanted to get as much information out of him as he could.

"So what exactly do you want me to do? After your answer, I will state my own demands, as I am sure you know that in this world, nothing is free" stated Adam directly.

"I was expecting nothing less,"
