Chapter 261: Alliance With The NYPD

Adam was glad that the head of the NYPD was respectful and direct as he smiled after hearing his question.

Both the head of the NYPD and Angela Valdez, who sat beside Adam, were curious as to what Adam wanted and were both silent, waiting for Adam to answer.

"What I want? Hmmm, that is a good question. I don't need protection or money, but there are things I would like us to both help each other on" answered Adam very vaguely.

"Like what?" 

"What I want can be negotiated, but I would like to hear what you want first. If I like and can accept what you want from me in this alliance, we can continue our negotiation, if not, then we can end this talk and forget about any of this happening" stated Adam who didn't want to make any requests before hearing what the head of the NYPD wanted from him.

"Alright then, if that is what you want. But I will give you a friendly piece of advice. If you choose to decline our requests, this will put you on not only the dangerous list of cultivators, but also the list that aren't cooperative and that will make you a target of the government, the military and all other organisations linked to them. While you may also become a target for other cultivators if you don't have our backing, so please consider our requests" advised the head of the NYPD.

"Well, I will also give you some advice. Do not underestimate me and what I am and will be capable of. I am not willing to form an alliance with the NYPD and government because I need to, but it is merely because it is more convenient, so neither of us need each other" replied Adam calmly.

Angela was gobsmacked by what she was hearing as Adam clearly stated to the head of the NYPD that he didn't need him and indirectly stated that he is above the laws and regulations set by them.

The head of the NYPD smiled after hearing Adam's reply, but didn't react to it and moved on to informing them of the NYPD's conditions.

"The first and most important condition is that civilians cannot be harmed and cultivation can not be revealed to the general public"

"The second condition is that you must help the NYPD detain criminal cultivators that are not cooperating or acting against the law. This will only be if the criminal is to powerful for us to handle and cannot be suppressed using modern weapons"

"The third and final condition is that you have to cooperate with the NYPD in certain cases and you will be our representative when negotiating with powerful cultivators"

"These conditions show that we, the NYPD, want a fair and mutually beneficial alliance with you. We do not have the clearance to use cultivators and many weapons are restricted from us, but there are other law enforcement agencies that can do so"

Adam didn't have any objections with any of their conditions, but thought that the NYPD was too small and not of much use for his future plans. It would only be more convenient if they weren't in his way, but they wouldn't be useful to him.

However, Adam was planning on forming all the connections he could and the head of the NYPD was a good start.

"I can accept all of those conditions and have decided what I want in return" stated Adam.

"I want to no longer have to worry about the police or any other agencies interfering or getting in my way while I am in New York. I also want the support of the NYPD and help me form connections within the government"

"My final conditions are that this alliance will not be started until 1 year's time and I also do not wish to be contacted by anybody below the rank of a captain. If I am not available, I do not personally need to assist the NYPD as long as I somehow get the job done and I also want the NYPD to support my faction" stated Adam.

Everything he said was something that the head of the NYPD could accept and were all reasonable, but there were some questions that he had before finalising the alliance.

"I can try my best to get the other agencies to get out of your way, but most of them are above the NYPD including the secret ones that have cultivators. I can also accept the rest of your conditions, but supporting your faction will depend on what your faction is and what are your intentions" 

"My faction is neutral and won't be initiating any actions against any cultivators or government agencies. I am merely gathering power and growing the faction to battle against evil cultivators and for my own personal uses and reasons. I can guarantee that innocent civilians and the government will not be harmed by my faction as long as we are not provoked" answered Adam.

"Then it seems that both of us do not have any objections with our alliance and we can complete it in person. If there is nothing else, give me your phone number so that we can meet and complete the alliance that I will make a contract for. Also, what is the name of your faction?" asked the head of the NYPD.

"Alright, my phone number is ------ and as for the name of my faction, I haven't actually formed it yet and will tell you the name when we complete the alliance" answered Adam.

"Would you be free later today?" asked Adam, who wanted to get everything over with on that day, so that he could get straight to his training. 

"Yes, after I get off work, we can meet in person and I will get my assistant to right the contract out for us. If you need to contact me just call this number ------ and it will put you through to my assistant" 

"Alright then, I will see you then and just call me or leave me a message and I will meet you" stated Adam before ending the call.
