Chapter 266: Underground Base Part 1

Adam left and although he had told the head of the NYPD to call him, he decided to call him first, wanting to finalise their alliance quickly so that he could return to see his master.

He had been given the head of the NYPD's assistant's number and Adam called it.

To his surprise, the phone was instantly answered and a soft yet assertive voice resounded from the phone.

"Who is this?" she asked.

"It is Adam and I want to arrange the meeting with the head of the NYPD soon as I have things to attend to" answered Adam.

Hearing who it was and what he wanted, the assistant didn't answer and it was clear to Adam from the other side of the phone that what he wanted wouldn't be possible.

"What happened?" asked Adam directly.

"Um, well, the head is ill currently and well, he isn't fit to attend" answered the assistant.

"Where are you and him now? I can help" stated Adam directly.

The assistant was shocked by Adam offering his help despite them not being in an alliance yet, but didn't know whether to trust him or not.

"If I really wanted to I could find you and kill you and the head. You don't have any cultivators guarding you and it also seems that you don't have cultivation resources that should be able to heal him from most things" said Adam.

"Just tell me where he is. I am not doing this because I am nice, but merely because I am busy and need to get this alliance finished now" stated Adam.

"Wait for one moment" she requested before placing the call on hold.

"Do not tell him, Stacey. We do not know if we can trust him yet" uttered the head of the NYPD who lay in a sickbed and was barely able to speak.

"We have no other choice, otherwise you will die" she wailed.

Stacey, his assistant, was also his granddaughter and cared for the head of the NYPD deeply after everything he had sacrificed for the safety of the city.

Everything he did was to protect New York and even allying Adam was to protect New York from the cultivators that were becoming wilder and causing more and more issues.

"Grandfather, we have no choice but to trust him," she said before leaving the room the head of the NYPD was in and taking the call off hold.

Stacey was reluctant to tell Adam where they were as they were in a secret and secure location, but soon gave in seeing that they had no other hope.

"I will send over the location to you and it isn't far from Brooklyn," said Stacey before ending the call with Adam.

She was nervous to see him in person and worried about whether she had made the wrong decision, but she had no other choice as she armed herself with a knife and a large rifle.

Adam bought a B Rank Mortal Recovery Pill from the system and it was placed within his Dungeon Inventory, as he could only buy items to use in the dungeon.

He then used his Transferal Feature to transfer the pill to his inventory in reality, which cost him half the price of the pill, but wasn't much to Adam who could easily gain system points.

Heading back to his apartment building, Adam was glad to see that the foundations of the building he used to live in were still intact and outside the building, he saw his motorcycle that had been salvaged from the wreckage.

Getting on the motorcycle, Adam drove as fast as he could without crashing, heading towards the location that Stacey had given him.

Upon arriving, Adam was surprised to find that was an empty field without any buildings or people in sight as he got off his motorbike and called the NYPD head's assistant.

"I am at the location you sent. You better not be tricking me or trying to trap me, otherwise, I will kill you" threatened Adam, who spread his spiritual sense to search for any traps or hidden people in the empty field.

Spreading out his spiritual sense, Adam sensed that the ground beneath his feet was hollow and after spreading his spiritual sense further around him found a hatch that would lead him underground.

"Never mind, I will be with you in a moment," said Adam before ending the call and withdrawing the pill from his inventory. 

Parking his motorcycle, Adam dashed over to the hatch and found that it was locked but from the inside.

"This puny hatch and lock won't be able to hold back any cultivator" mumbled Adam to himself before smashing down on the hatch with his fist.

Adam had used both the fundamental defence techniques to increase his body's resistance before striking the hatch then repeatedly continued to do so.

His speed increased his punching power and with his increased resistance, Adam was able to smash the hatch out of place and it fell, slamming down to the floor of the underground base.

Jumping straight down to the floor on top of the fallen hatch, which was a 5-metre drop, Adam landed in a corridor that had 2 armed guards on either side of him.

"We have an intruder" bellowed one of the guards before smashing the alarm and firing at Adam.

Everything was happening so quickly and Adam was impressed by the layout of the underground base that made it so that any intruder, even if they were a cultivator, would find it hard to get inside.

Stacey hearing Adam end the call then the alarm and gunshots, rushed towards the entrance into the underground base, while the head of the NYPD was shocked and confused as to what was going on.

"Damn it, don't shoot" she screamed as loudly as she could, but the alarms were too loud for anybody to hear her.

With bullets flying everywhere around and towards him, Adam smiled as he activated the Unique Step Skip Skill.
