Chapter 259: Important Talk Part 2

Most stories about cultivation, or things similar to it, came from Asia and mostly China.

Ki, chi, qi and many other forms of energy that were mentioned in Asian stories were all similar or exactly the same as what he called Internal Energy, while martial artists, warriors and many other names were External Cultivators.

With that in mind, Adam was inclined to believe that cultivators in Asia would be much more powerful and numerous than in his country, since they had most likely known about it for longer.

The thought excited him and Adam had learnt never to believe that anything was impossible or didn't exist as he also became much more open-minded about cultivation.

While he debated with himself whether he would stand with his country in a war between cultivators, Angela sat there silently, not wanting to disturb Adam who was deep in thought.

Thinking about a war between cultivators, all Adam could imagine was destruction and death, which he didn't want, but also seemed to be an exhilarating thing that he would enjoy.

Tough battles against other cultivators that would have all kinds of interesting and powerful abilities, while also feeding his Bloodlust, was something that appealed to Adam's reckless side.

However his calmer and more reasonable side wanted to avoid conflict as much as possible and Adam would usually incline towards his reckless side, which in most cases, would have the best results.

Despite that, Adam knew that he needed to be more reasonable and rational as he gathered all of his thoughts and turned back to Angela.

"Do you know the terms of this alliance?"

Angela shook her head and was only told what the captain knew, which wasn't much compared to his superiors. She had already told Adam most of what she knew and was told and most other things were out of her clearance considering her age and position within the NYPD.

"Give my number to your captain and tell him to pass it onto the Major. Then get the Major to pass it onto the Head of the NYPD so that I can talk to him directly" instructed Adam.

"I do not have time to waste. I need to speak with him and form this alliance within the hour, so please hurry up" rushed Adam after seeing Angela's hesitant expression.

She had to be respectful to a police captain, let alone a Major or the head of the NYPD who were in extremely high positions that they must have worked towards for decades, yet Adam so casually asked to speak with them.

But considering the fact that he could move so quickly and was developing so fast, it wasn't such a big surprise, as she called the captain.

The captain paced up and down his office worriedly and was startled by his phone ringing as he rushed to pick it up after seeing who it was.

"Are you okay Angela? Did he do or try anything?" he asked after answering the phone.

"No he hasn't and he has saved my life once and has had many chances to kill me previously, so isn't going to kill me for no reason. He doesn't seem to be such a bad guy despite his seemingly twisted nature" answered Angela, surprising both Adam and the captain.

He had expected her to be scared of Adam, and yet she not only felt comfortable around him, but also weirdly trusted his character.

The captain wasn't as trusting as Angela and didn't know that she had been in contact with Adam before he had given her the task to investigate and spy on him and his aunt.

"I need you to pass this call onto the Major, Adam wants to speak directly about the alliance with your superiors" stated Angela.

The captain felt slightly undermined by that, but couldn't argue and called the Major.

At such a high rank, the Major had many things to deal with, but a call from a captain beneath him would almost always be important, so the Major answered.

"Major, I need to speak to you" stated the captain respectfully.

"Do speak, I need to get back to my reports if it isn't something important or urgent"

"Well Adam Green has requested to speak to you and it is about the terms of his alliance with the NYPD and the government"

"Adam Green!? I didn't expect he would be in contact so soon, but this is good. If he can become my subordinate, I can rise up the rankings. Pass him onto me" exclaimed the Major ambitiously.

"Yes, I will connect him onto the call" 

Placing the Major on hold, then returning to his call with Angela, the captain said, "Pass the phone with Adam, I am passing him onto the Major now".

Adam accepted the phone from Angela and placed it on his ear, curious to hear how the Major would act and what he wanted to say.

"Hello Adam, it is nice to hear from you," said the Major after being notified of another phone being added to his call with the captain.

"Likewise, but let's get straight to business" replied Adam, who didn't have the time or patience for small talk with somebody he didn't even know.

"Captain, you may take your leave" stated the Major who seemed as though he was giving the captain permission, but was actually ordering him to leave.

The captain couldn't refute, and despite his curiosity to hear what Adam and the Major's conversation would be like, left the call.

"So, I heard that you have decided to cooperate with the NYPD and government. How about you work for me" offered the Major.

Adam scoffed and was amused by the Major's arrogant offer.

"Listen here, I am not asking to speak with you to negotiate with you. Pass me onto the Police Captain or one of your superiors as you aren't of much use" stated Adam.

Adam didn't usually like to act arrogantly, but it was always fun to crush a pompous and arrogant person's ego, while also getting what he wanted quicker.
