Chapter 486 - Shocking News

"Sorry for calling you so much, I know you are probably busy and are getting annoyed by my calls that appear within your mind through our communication link," said Adam within his mind to Elizabeth, as he made his way towards the next city.

"Nah, don't worry about it. It is reassuring to hear your voice and that you are doing well. How's everything on your end?" she asked.

"Pretty good. Everything has been sorted out thanks to Nathaniel and you should help him whenever you can, but do not trust him or get too close to him. My instincts tell me that he is trouble," he warned her.

"I felt the same way, but forget about that. There is some urgent news on the Cultivator Dark Web Forum. Supposedly you defeated Marco, the Giant Man Of Steel in a duel and have jumped up the Top Cultivator Ranking," she revealed.

Adam was shocked and didn't think that news would get out so soon.

He was sure that the master of the country wouldn't do so and probably didn't care about such matters, which left only Nathaniel who probably only done so to draw me more attention and see how far he can go.

"Yes, it's true, but it isn't such a big deal and to be honest, I have progressed much more than that and have entered a period of rapid progress," 

He wanted to encourage them to do the same and try to keep up with his progress speed, but he was surprised by her response.

"Well, thanks to your help, we have also managed to do the same and have progressed more than you can imagine. Enjoy your adventure around the world and make sure to save your aunt, but also train as hard as you can, as you will be the one struggling to keep up with us,"

Hearing that, Adam smiled and was glad that she was so confident and determined, while he also had one last thing he wanted to let her know.

"I have sent a little gift your way that should be arriving in New York in around 12 hours. Please go and collect them from the airport and sort out any issues they may come across while coming out of the airport," said Adam.

"A gift? Who is it?" she asked.

"Someone that has become bound to be and will be joining the faction. The grandmaster level cultivator that I defeated," he revealed, shocking her and causing her to jump in joy.

With such a powerful cultivator in their ranks, they would be able to accomplish and achieve much more.

"Station him under Chase, you will understand why when you see him. And he also has something with him that you can strengthen yourself from if you manage to use it well," he said before ending the call.

She was curious as to what he was speaking about and wanted to find out more, but she knew how Adam was and that he preferred to leave everything as a surprise, so she planned to head to the airport personally and with Chase.

Such a powerful cultivator that was newly entering their faction should be welcomed with open arms, and she was also intrigued about what he had that she could use to strengthen herself.

Adam then went on to travel around the country for the rest of the week and had a few battles with powerful cultivators and criminals, but none that were as thrilling as the one against Marco.

His main purpose was to explore and investigate areas that his aunt had previously been in, but he didn't find much and just like the file said, all the areas that his aunt had been in had been destroyed.

Her path was one of death and destruction, while the reason for that was unclear and it seemed as though finding something useful about her in New York was unrealistic.

The only thing he had found was Rex, which for the time being would be staying at New York with the Sentinels Faction, so there was no need for Adam to stay in the country any longer.

Soon a week would pass since his exchange with the master of the country and he definitely wasn't looking to stay any longer as he started making his way out of the country.

The next stop was China, which would hopefully be much more interesting, fun and useful when it came to finding his aunt.

China was known for having the largest population of cultivators and also seemed to be the closest country to the ancients, with it being said to have some of the most powerful cultivators.

In Russia, most powerful cultivators were within the same organisation and everything was tightly controlled and secret, while Nathaniel ran things slightly differently and controlled most of the power, but allowed cultivators and small families to do as they pleased.

Meanwhile, it was said that China gave cultivators much more freedom and was the country to go to in order to compete and grow stronger, while it was also said to have dangers that equalled the possible opportunities.

Along with those things, it was also the country that his aunt was originally from and the last place that any traces of her had been found, so it was inevitable for Adam to head there.

While Adam had explored and journey the country the past week, many things had happened in the Sentinels Faction and with his friends.

Marco arrived at New York and a 3-metre tall juggernaut that had a strong Russian accent and a freighting presence obviously caused a large commotion.

He stood out like a sore thumb in the airport and Chase and Elizabeth sorted out everything in the airport and welcomed him, while they also had to get one of their subordinates to bring a van, as Marco wouldn't be able to fit in an ordinary car.

Chase and Marco both looked into each other's eyes and instantly they recognised the other as a battle freak just like themselves and shook hands.

The collision of their hands and the strength at which they squeezed each other's hands was enough to cause shock waves, while Elizabeth stood there and looked at the unconscious dog in Marco's other arm.
