Chapter 241: Relief

Jaspal sat on the ground and didn't dare to move despite having Adam's aunt as a hostage, as if he pushed Adam too much, he knew he would be killed.

{Adam you should try and call your aunt. You never know, maybe someone else saved her} suggested Ava in a tone that made it seem to Adam like she knew.

She must have found a way to slightly bypass the program of the system that couldn't gauge the tone of an individual and Adam understood her message.

Adam let out a sigh of relief and thanked Ava repeatedly as he withdrew his phone and called his aunt's phone.

"She won't answer, I instructed my subordinates to take her phone" stated Jaspal as he stood up.

The phone rang for a short while and in that time, Jannet was retrieving the phone from the kidnapper's pocket.

"I told you she wouldn't answer..." said Jaspal before stopping himself as he heard the call connect.

Jaspal told himself that it was merely his subordinate answering the phone, but Adam was sure that it was his aunt as he was sure that Ava wouldn't lie to him about something as serious as that.

"Aunt are you safe? Are you okay?" asked Adam.

"Yes I am, what about you? They told me that they wanted to use me to get to you"

"Do not worry. Where are you now?"

"I am in some sort of warehouse, I will send you my location"

"Okay, I will be there as quickly as I can, in the meantime stay where you are" 

"Who was it that saved you? If they are still there, pass the phone to them"

Jannet then passed the phone to Angela who wasn't expecting her to hand the phone over to her and she cleared her throat before speaking.

"Who is this?" asked Angela despite already knowing who it was.

Adam recognised that annoying voice and couldn't help but be amused by the fact that it was the other Angela that was his saviour.

"Listen, Angela Valdez. You will stay with my aunt, protect her and make sure that whoever kidnapped her doesn't get away. You are not allowed to call the ambulance or police and will do as I say" instructed Adam.

"What! Do you really think that I answer to you? Why would I do what you say?"

"I already saved you once, so just return the favour. Or if that isn't enough, I can threaten you or offer you something that you want" offered Adam.

Jaspal, who was hearing Adam talking on the phone, initially thought that Adam was bluffing, but then Adam put the phone on speaker so that Chase and Jaspal could hear.

Hearing the conversation, Jaspal couldn't help but become scared as he rushed to try and get away, but it was useless.

"Stay bitch" ordered Adam as he released his full killing intent that instantly caused Jaspal's legs to buckle and caused him to fall on his face.

Jaspal's body couldn't handle such a powerful aura as he lay on his face barely conscious.

Even Chase was frightened by the killing intent and once again reminded how powerful Adam was and that he was still superior to him.

"Who are you calling a bitch?" exclaimed Angela on the phone furiously, thinking that Adam was speaking to her.

"Shut up, I wasn't speaking to you. Why are Angela's always so annoying?" refuted Adam.

"Me saving your aunt was repaying your favour for saving me, so we are even. If you want me to stay with her and detain the 5 kidnappers, I want a favour" stated Angela.

Adam seemed reasonable, and his care for his aunt, made Angela realise that he was also a person with feelings that could be negotiated with.

"What do you want?" asked Adam directly.

"I want you to have a talk with me and cooperate with the NYPD" answered Angela.

Adam didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but her request wasn't unreasonable and as long as they weren't against him or getting in his way, Adam didn't mind cooperating with the NYPD.

Any ally would help as he prepared his own power and created his own connections, ready to find out more about and take on the Elusive Evil Organsaitin that seemed to be controlling something everywhere he turned.

"I can accept to have a talk to you and may cooperate with the NYPD, but I obviously need to see the terms first and am not looking for trouble" accepted Adam.

"Then it is settled" confirmed Angela, who was excited and anxious to see Adam in person and speak to him.

Angela had not only gone against orders, but had also technically cooperated with a criminal, all because of her interest in Adam, cultivation and what was going on in New York.

Jannet took back the phone and told Adam that she would send him the location and wait for him.

With that, Adam ended the call then turned to Jaspal who was trying to crawl away with an evil smile.

"Big bro, are you going to kill him as well?" asked Chase.

"Not yet, I need to torture him, interrogate him and also let Elizabeth get her revenge on him for his betrayal" answered Adam as he lifted Jaspal from his neck and threw him over to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth had watched everything that happened and the last thing that Adam had said shocked her and matched with the fact that Chase had protected her, she realised that Adam wasn't holding a grudge.

"Elizabeth I won't kill you, but I won't forgive you either. You will now work under me and do as I say and over time you can rebuild the trust, but you can forget about being allies. You are my subordinate now" stated Adam.

Elizabeth didn't know how to react, but she was very grateful for Adam as he had not only spared her life, but had also given her an opportunity to redeem herself.

After seeing what he was capable of and how quickly Adam was developing, she didn't even think that she was worthy of being his servant, let alone his subordinate, which was why she planned to regain his trust.
