Adams smiled, a gesture that seemed both reassuring and unsettling. "Nothing too onerous, just simple tasks."
The woman shifted uneasily, her instincts still tingling with caution. "And what if he refuses?" she asked, her tone measured. Her voice was edged with a mix of fear and determination, aware that the offer might come with a hidden cost.
Adams' gaze flicked to her, a spark of amusement dancing in his eyes. "He can refuse, of course," he said lightly. "But he won't." His confidence was unwavering as if he had already seen the outcome of this conversation.
Her brother considered the offer carefully, the weight of his sister's gaze on him palpable. She was trying hard to hide her concern, but he could feel it, a heavy presence pressing against his decision. Yet, the prospect of power, the chance to protect not only his sister but perhaps their entire kingdom, was a tantalizing possibility.
"What happens if I agree?" he asked finally, his voice tinged with determination. His eyes were locked on Adams, searching for any hint of deceit or danger.
Adams leaned back on his throne, satisfied with the young man's resolve. "If you agree, you'll be marked as one of my Horsemen. You'll gain strength, knowledge, and the means to change your fate—and perhaps the fate of your world. You'll become something greater than you've ever dreamed."
The woman bit her lip, torn between hope and fear. Her brother met her gaze, a silent understanding passing between them. They had always faced challenges together, and this decision felt like the most significant one yet. He wasn't just making this choice for himself but for both of them—for their survival and their future.
With a deep breath, the young man turned back to Adams. "I accept your deal," he said firmly, the words carrying the weight of a promise. His heart pounded in his chest, a mix of fear and excitement swirling inside him.
Adams nodded, a pleased expression on his face. "Excellent," he said, his voice a low rumble that seemed to resonate in the very air around them. "Welcome to your new destiny, my Horseman."
With that, Adams stretched his hands, and a portal appeared out of nowhere, swirling with energy and light. "Go through that portal, the boss will make you a horseman proper," he said to the two siblings, his tone brisk.
Adams watched them disappear into the swirling vortex, a satisfied smile playing on his lips. He knew that this was just the beginning, and soon enough, the realm would feel the influence of his new Horsemen.
"Now time to go beat the others in the race to get candidates for the boss's personal force"
As he said that, he disintegrated into particles, together with the throne.
Primordial Chaos Sect
The sect ground was bustling with activities as disciples were filled everywhere doing one thing or another.
Inside the main Court of the sect in the Sect Master's valley, Adams was seated in his throne as he was being served grapes by Lilith much to the shock of both her sister and Mabel.
"What spell have you used in my sister?" Said Melina who just looked at Lilith as if she was possessed or something, "the Lilith o know would never do something like this, never."
"I don't think you know your sister that well then" said Mabel who just sighed and turned to the door as someone walked in.
"Greetings sect master," said Amelia who walked in.
Adams looked at her and wanted to reply but the next moment, a portal appeared in the middle of the wall and two people came out of it, "food thing we are all here, it will make things easier" he said with a smile.
