Chapter 81: Request

Adam woke up to his phone ringing and the only people that had his phone number were people that he cared about, so didn't ignore it and picked up his phone to see who it was.

"Elizabeth, why would she be calling me" wondered Adam as he saw her name on his small non-smartphone.

Answering the phone, he was instantly bombarded with words.

"You killed somebody else already. Are you not human and don't feel any guilt or remorse? Why would you randomly kill a hospital director? I am coming to pick you up immediately, and you cannot drag me into this mess" screamed Elizabeth down the phone.

There was a public report early in the morning, that when a nurse was going into the director's office to give a report, she found his body ripped to shreds with claw marks and left in a puddle of blood.

She freaked out and called the police.

The police locked off the top floor, but couldn't shut down the entire hospital that was relied on by thousands of patients, without a valid reason.

After turning in the coma-inducing formula, that was left on the middle of the desk by Adam for it to be found by the police, the investigation was handed over to the FBI.

Within an hour they had tested the blood of many coma patients and found a substance matching that of the formula within their bloodstream.

Instantly the hospital was closed and all patients were transferred to other nearby hospitals, as a large investigation began within the hospital.

However the article only spoke about the death of the director, and everything else wasn't revealed to the public, which was why Elizabeth was so frustrated, confused and worried.

"Calm down. Are you coming here" asked Adam as he yawned and got out of bed.

"Yes, I will be outside your building within a few minutes. Be there" she stated angilr before ending the call.

Adam shrugged uncaringly as he washed his face, brushed his teeth and tied up his black hair, ready for the day.

Changing into another set of comfortable clothing and putting on a pair of plain black trainers, Adam prepared to leave.

"Where are you going" asked his aunt as she saw him leave his room ready to leave.

"I have an important meeting to attend to" answered Adam as he smiled, seeing his aunt awake and seemingly happy.

"You have an important meeting, yet dress so casually" exclaimed his aunt as she prepared to scold him.

But before she could Adam had already left.

"Be sure to relax and if you need anything ask Sarah or Cole, okay" called out Adam as he left before his aunt could tell him off.

"Time goes so quickly, and the boy I raised has already grown up into a man" mumbled his aunt to herself as she felt quite lonely and as though she had been left behind.

However she couldn't complain about the way she was living as she prepared breakfast for herself and Sarah and begun chatting with Sarah about everything that had happened over the past few years.

Adam's aunt was already quite familiar with Sarah, who was one of Adam's close friends in high school, and Sarah was the same, as they overcame the awkwardness and spoke between themselves.

Meanwhile Adam stood outside his building for a few minutes until a large all-black range rover with tinted windows stopped in front of him.

"Get in" called out Elizabeth as she lowered the window.

Adam got inside the large luxury car without asking any questions and in the back of the spacious car, he sat beside Elizabeth.

"Who is driving" asked Adam instantly, wary of who knew his identity.

"It is one of my guards, that helped identify you" answered Elizabeth as the driver turned around to show himself to Adam.

It was the guard that Adam spared in the auction house, and the one that informed Elizabeth that Adam had red eyes.

"He is the last person to know my face, otherwise I will have to kill them" stated Adam as he stared into Elziabeth's eyes with his brown eyes that were filled with killing intent.

"You crazy killer. You can't go around killing people for no reason" scolded Elizabeth as if she was his older sister.

Elizabeth wasn't much older than him and was in her mid-twenties, but in comparison to the 18 year old Adam, she was much more mature and sophisticated.

"I don't kill people for no reason" refuted Adam as he began bickering with Elizabeth as if they were siblings.

"Now lets be serious, what happened last night" asked Elizabeth after they had aruged for a while.

It was easy for Elizabeth to identify Adam as the killer after seeing how he killed the mobs from the Wolf Fang Gang, using some sort of animals, but she didn't know the reason behind it.

Adam didn't mention anything about his aunt, in case Elizabeth ever turned against him and decided to use her to gain leverage, but explained all the other crimes that the hospital was committing.

"So you killed him because you are righteous. Stop lying. I can see that it must have been someone close to you that was victim to that wicked bastard" observed Elizabeth.

Adam didn't refute or confirm her assumption as he moved on to what she wanted with him.

"What do you want and where are you taking me" asked Adam.

"Well I can see that you are quite smart and aren't an evil killer like your eyes, that are now brown, might suggest. So I can trust you to do me a favour" stated Elizabeth.

"What is it and what do I gain" asked Adam directly.

"Well it is a simple request. I need you to help me take over a few nearby small gangs and get them to join my auction house" stated Elizabeth.

"And what do I gain from this" repeated Adam, who didn't yet refuse her request.

"You can request something from me in return" offered Elizabeth.

"Deal" accepted Adam as he gave Elizabeth an evil smile that made her worried about what he was going to request.
