Chapter 483 - Russia's Master

Immediately upon the man's appearance, Adam sensed Elizabeth calling him and answered her call through their communication connection.

"Adam, Nathaniel has just contacted me. He said that the Master of the Russian Army should have appeared and that you owe him a favour," she said within his mind.

"Thank him for me and tell him that if he needs me to do anything for him, to contact you, then you can pass onto me whatever he wants me to do," responded Adam before ending the call with her, telling her that he was in an urgent situation.

Their exchange lasted a few seconds, and in that time, everything seemed to be silent and frozen, with even the wind seemingly afraid to come out in the presence of the figure before them.

Adam couldn't tell exactly how strong the figure before him was, but he was sure that he was much more powerful than himself, and was shocked and grateful for Nathaniel going to such lengths for him.

If it wasn't for that, he would likely be dead or would have died soon after.

While it also made him more wary and afraid of Nathaniel who seemed to know everything that was happening to him at all times, almost as if he had eyes everywhere, and also seemed as though he was capable of anything.

It was like having a wild beast by your side that was seemed to be calm.

It could scare off enemies and come to your aid at times, but who knew when it would set its eyes on you.

Along with that, Adam's instincts told him that Nathaniel was more dangerous and capable than the incredibly powerful figure before him, which made him wonder exactly how powerful he was.

"I can't believe you would be so shameless and dishonourable. You have tainted the name of our organisation and I have granted you freedom as the mad researcher that has great results, but you have offended the subject of a friend of mine,"

He spoke in a calm and gentle manner, and yet it seemed as though he was shouting at the top of his lungs and releasing an intimidating aura that made it so that even Milo was struggling to breathe.

Hearing his words, Adam confirmed to himself that Nathaniel merely regarded him as a plaything, which he could benefit from for the time being, but he needed to be wary of him.

"Sir, I didn't know who he was and didn't think you would come out of seclusion for such a small matter," said Milo respectfully as he bowed down and prayed for his master's mercy.

He had already looked into Adam and hadn't found anything out of the ordinary that might make him dangerous or someone to look out for, and yet for him to be connected to a friend of the master, he must have a great background. 

"You are the Praying Mantis known for your energy blades, fast attacks and research skills, but unfortunately, this is the end for you,"

For him to say such things, it was clear that he was likely planning on killing Milo and for him to go to such an extent for Adam, shocked them all and made Milo and Marco intrigued as to who Adam truly was.

The Master would spend most of his time in seclusion and training, while controlling everything that was occurring from all over the world and would barely show himself, even when it came to matters affecting the entire country.

He was supposedly a disciple of a hidden sect that was in the ancient lands and he would spend most of his time training there and cultivating his skills and knowledge, while the sect and the ancients allowed him to keep his position.

His position was secret and unknown to most in the country, while he was devoted to the ancients, so they had no need to doubt him and also didn't care much about the details, as long as they retained control.

And yet, that master who hadn't been seen for the past 100 years or so, appeared out of nowhere, all to save a random young cultivator and punish the one that was about to kill him.

"Please master, I-I-I am sorry. I will..." he tried pleading, but it was to no avail and the next thing he knew his master was in front of him.

Without remorse, his master struck his abdomen with a punch that appeared to be a simple punch, but it was clear that whatever the attack was, it was a powerful one.

Adam and Marco instantly recognised the attack as the Crushing Fist that would destroy one's dantian and disperse one's Internal Cultivation, while also making it so that they can ever cultivate internally in the future. 

Milo's Internal Cultivation was what he mostly trained in and what allowed him to be so powerful, while his External Cultivation was very weak and had declined greatly due to old age.

He began uncontrollably vomiting large amounts of blood and his body began shaking frantically, entering a near-death state due to the shock of having his Internal Cultivation suddenly crushed and leaving a large amount of energy within his body that was rushing to get out of his body.

"You are suspended from your position and if you survive from this, you are not to show your face in the presence of my organisation. Now leave here at once," he declared.

Milo couldn't argue and with blood pouring from his blood, he began staggering away and needed to receive urgent medical attention from a skilled cultivator otherwise he would die.

With his knowledge of the anatomy, he was able to only just save his life by sealing the pressure points that controlled his nervous system and by also stopping a lot of the internal bleeding that was taking place within his body.

Seeing the state he was in, Adam was confident he could take down Milo with ease, but if he was spared, with his knowledge, cruel nature and connections, he was likely to come back and bite him in the ass.

Leaving loose ends was not something he liked, but for the time being, he needed to make sure not to offend the figure before him.
