Chapter 133: Chase's Status

Chase opened all the doors for Adam to go through and instead of taking the motorbike, which he obviously wouldn't be able to drive with his broken arms, they called for a taxi.

They got into the taxi and Chase had a slightly guilty expression as he looked at Adam who could barely move his arms.

Before returning to his apartment, Adam needed to recover his arms, so instructed the taxi driver to take them to the park near his apartment building.

After Chase paid, Adam looked for a bench in the park that was quite quiet and where he wouldn't be disturbed, then sat on it with Chase beside him.

"Chase, don't worry, this is but a small injury and I can heal within an hour" reassured Adam, seeing his guilty expression and that he was quiet.

"Really Boss, you can recover in an hour and aren't angry with me," asked Chase who was still like a child when he was with Adam.

"Yes, it was only a spar, why would I be angry. Not only am I not angry, but we will be having a good time today and you can eat as much as you want when we go to Chinatown" stated Adam who was amused by Chase's childish nature, but touched by his worry and care towards him.

Chase had a wide smile and was excited to finally be able to enjoy himself for once, and even though he was influenced by the Monk Inheritance, he was still a young man that liked to relax and enjoy himself sometimes.

Adam was planning to take Chase with him and his aunt to Chinatown, not only in order to assist him in protecting his aunt, but also to allow him to have a nice time and let him enjoy himself after all the training he had been doing.

Chase was no longer seen as a mere subordinate by Adam, and they had formed a bond that was closer than that. Chase had complete trust in Adam, and Adam had complete trust in the loyal Chase.

This made it so that Adam, despite being younger than Chase, saw him as a younger brother that he needed to give advice to, protect, but also made him somebody that he could completely trust and introduce to his aunt.

With his Hardening Unique Skill and his very loyal and trustworthy nature, he was the perfect person for Adam to leave with his aunt to protect her when he was busy and he was sure that Chase would protect her with his life if it came to it.

"Chase you can cultivate beside me or walk around this park, but please don't leave this area until I have recovered and can go with you," said Adam, who was yet to trust Chase to wander around alone without orders.

It wasn't that he was worried about Chase, but he was worried about others that would try to mess with him and he didn't want Chase to get into any trouble, especially with the police that were already searching for a hooded criminal.

"Alright Boss, I will stay beside you" decided Chase as he sat quietly and calmly on the bench next to Adam as Adam prepared to use the Ethereal Recovery Skill to heal his arms.

However, before he did so, he wanted to use the Status Peering Feature on Chase and see what his stats were like.

The Status Peering Feature, just like everything else that he was provided through the system, was easy for him to use as if he had been practising it his entire life.

Activating it while looking at Chase who sat beside him, a status screen, just like the one's that he would see above the heads of beasts, appeared above Chase's head.

Chase Mathers

Mortal LVL: 47

HP: 560 / 600

EESP: 32 / 51

Strength: 50

Speed: 50

Intelligence: 10

Resistance: 60

Wisdom: 3

Charisma: 3

Chase's stats were shocking and compared to his cultivation level, his stats were extraordinary. His HP and Resistance stood out just like Adam had expected, but with only 3 points of Wisdom, it was to be expected that he would be quite naive and childish.

Thankfully, his wisdom could increase with Adam's support and at the rate he was progressing, and with his incredible Unique Skill, he would be a force to be reckoned with in the near future.

Adam was disappointed that the Status Peering Feature didn't show the Additional Status of the target and the amount of Luck points they had, but overall he was satisfied with what it revealed to him and was impressed by Chase's ability.

With that, he had relieved his curiosity and began to recover his injuries.

It took him about an hour to recover completely and after Adam was sure that his body was in its optimum state, he stood up. He was not completely trusting that his HP being recovered meant that he had recovered, so checked on his body even after his HP had been recovered. 

Chase had sat beside him the entire time silently, but didn't seem to be cultivating and was merely patiently waiting for Adam to be ready.

"Wow boss, you are amazing. Your arms are healed already and they look as good as new" exclaimed Chase who let out a sigh of relief, seeing that the injury he caused his boss had healed.

"Listen you can't keep calming me boss in front of others, especially not in front of my aunt. How about this, you can either call me Adam, or little bro" stated Adam, who didn't want his friends and his aunt to think that he had hired a bodyguard.

"I'll call you big bro" decided Chase, who had completely ignored Adam's suggestions.

Adam just sighed and accepted it, even though he was younger than him, as at least it was better than what he used to call him.

"Chase I will be introducing you to my aunt as a friend, so you must try your best to be friendly and normal," said Adam to Chase as they walked towards his apartment building.

"Yes big bro, I will try my best"
