Chapter 258: Important Talk Part 1

"Relax, I don't have time for this," said Adam after catching Angela and helping her up.

Her face was burning bright red and she clearly felt someway towards Adam, but he definitely didn't feel the same way and just like with Sarah, he needed to make that clear.

She didn't even know him yet she seemed to be deeply invested in Adam, which he saw as a downside of the Charm Skill that would allow him to manipulate and influence others, but also leave a strong image of him with them.

Unlike most, Adam didn't like attention and would much rather be in a relaxed environment with people he was comfortable with.

Giving her a stern look, Angela snapped out of her daze as they walked to the closest park and found a bench.

Adam had slightly over 2 hours to sort out everything with Angela and all of her superiors so that he no longer had to worry about becoming an enemy or target of the government, as he had to get to the meeting point that he had set with all of his friends and allies.

However, despite having quite a lot of time, Adam didn't want to waste any of it and even if he was planning to relax, would much rather do so with Ava.

Sitting down on the bench, the two of them looked at each other and Adam had a serious expression while Angela was struggling to get serious.

Their walk there was silent and Adam wanted to get straight to business, no longer having the patience to deal with Angela's behaviour.

[Just like the other Angela, useful, trustworthy and nice, but annoying and has quite a lot of issues with their attitude] thought Adam to himself as he shook his head.

"Listen, I am not in the mood and am in a rush. I already have someone special and I also do not have time to waste. Get straight to the point of this conversation that is an important meeting for me and you as you are the representative of the government in this situation" stated Adam.

He knew that what he said might have hurt her feelings, but what she was feeling towards him wasn't truly what she felt and feelings like that couldn't be formed overnight.

When Ava heard what she said she smiled and felt warm all over, knowing that she was the 'someone special' that Adam was speaking about, while Angela snapped out of the state she was in.

She realised that she couldn't have felt so strongly about someone that was a killer, a criminal and someone that she had just met as she became serious.

Although she didn't completely dismiss and forget about what she was feeling, just like Sarah and Angela Maxwell, she accepted Adam's rejection and knew how important their conversation was.

Angela Valdez was a very attractive female that was very voluptuous and was of Latino descent, but just like all other women, she paled in comparison to Ava and Adam wasn't looking for a female companion, even if he didn't have Ava.

"Now that you are back to normal, I need you to tell me what you have heard about me and what has been said about me. I am not looking for trouble and want to cooperate, but I need to know what is going on currently" said Adam.

"I was briefed on everything by my captain, who just like all the other captains of other precincts in New York was briefed by the Major. The Major was in charge of our precinct and a few others and was briefed by the Head of the NYPD who was told to do so by his superiors and other connections that he had within the military and government" stated Angela after taking a deep breath.

"You were put on the list of dangerous cultivators by the government and your identity was spread to all captains, a few trusted detectives and all others in higher positions than that. The large cultivation families work and cooperate with the government and I think they were hoping that you would do the same"

"You have been investigated and from your past, it was clear that you haven't been cultivating for long, yet you have been capable of so long and also have powerful allies. From what my captain told me, the government is proposing an alliance of sorts"

As Angela went on, Adam was pleased by what she was saying and expected nothing less from the government. He knew that it was inevitable that he would eventually be noticed and after what had happened at the Epstein Family Arena, he had caused a large commotion and also placed a large target on his back.

The government took the initiative to form an alliance with the rising star of the Underground Cultivation World and since Adam was sure that his aunt could fend for herself with the Evil Soul inside her, Adam had no reason to hide who he was.

"What could the government or military possibly do to me?" asked Adam who was by no means trying to cause conflict with the government, and especially not the military, but was merely trying to get more information out of Angela.

"I am not one to talk, but from what it is said, you aren't that high on the dangerous cultivator list and also aren't seen as a threat by the government yet. The large cultivation families send family members to the military and the military had been researching cultivation. They have nurtured many super soldiers and warfare is secretly based around cultivation, which is why the government values young and capable cultivators that could benefit and strengthen the country's forces. All cultivators in the country, although may have conflict, from what I have heard, support the country against other country's cultivators" 

Her answer was very informative and told him a lot about the power of the government and military, which he had underestimated, and also opened his eyes to the cultivators around the world.
