Novel Bin Chapter 484 - Reasonable Terms
Adam bowed his head and thanked him genuinely, but he didn\'t seem to accept his thanks or like him in the slightest.
"You might have caught that crazy man\'s attention, but you are not to my liking. You are too wild, reckless and dangerous just like him. If you want to thank anyone, you should thank Nathaniel," he stated bluntly and honestly.
Adam still maintained respect, and he didn\'t seem to be malicious or trying to offend him, he was merely brutally honest.
"If I didn\'t hear that you were connected to him, I would have gotten you killed as soon as you stepped foot in my territory and you should be careful. Take this as a learning experience and I would appreciate it if you left my country as soon as you could, I don\'t like having dangerous trouble makers around,"
"Yes, I will do that after I finish my business. I should have freedom in the country now that I won the duel, and Marco should also be my subordinate and no longer affiliated to your organisation," said Adam directly, speaking as though he was speaking to a peer.
Marco was gobsmacked, and he had to sow respect to Milo, let alone the master of the entire country that had a background that was even more frightening than his position.
However, the figure didn\'t seem to get angry and seemed impossible to get a reaction from him, as he stood there and seemed amused by Adam, but also disgusted by him.
"Like the agreement previous was, Marco is now yours to do with as you please and the same for that creature, but I cannot guarantee your safety within this country. You will have freedom, in the manner that we will not pursue you, but if you trespass or cause large issues for the country, we will have no choice but to get involved. A few deaths and exploring abandoned areas are the extent of the freedom I can provide you, and I will give you a week to leave this country, otherwise my organisation will take action against you for the losses you have caused my organisation," he said before disappearing into thin air.
Adam couldn\'t tell if he had some sort of ability like that of Cole or was just incredibly fast, but it was almost as if he had become one with the fog.
The master had a large figure, with long blonde hair and a charismatic and intimidating presence, but Adam was sure that he would soon catch up to and surpass him.
It was only a matter of time and the small planet he was on couldn\'t contain him for much longer.
As long as he had Rex and Marco, while could also explore the country and look for traces of his aunt, he was happy and the man had saved his life, so there was no need to bargain with him.
Because of that, Adam felt as though the man\'s terms were reasonable and it was not like he could argue or change them even if he wanted to, but there was something he wanted to do more urgently.
"Rex, quickly go and kill Milo and bring me his body. I need to make sure he dies," ordered Adam as he pointed in the direction that Milo had gone in.
It would be easy for Rex to follow the scent even in the cold, windy and foggy environment they were in, while Adam was also confident that Rex could take him down in the state that he was in.
Rex bolted in the direction that Adam pointed in without any hesitation and a minute later, it returned with a few wounds around its body and quite fatigued, along with Milo\'s body in tow.
Adam was barely staying conscious, but he wanted to make sure that Milo was dead and was shocked to see that he seemed to have put up a fight.
As soon as Rex delivered Milo\'s body, it collapsed and lost consciousness and it seemed to have been poisoned and there were some needles all around its body.
"No wonder he could put up a fight. It seems as though I underestimated him, but he definitely is someone that is skilled and was not only a skilled combatant known as the praying mantis, but was also very knowledgeable,"
Adam checked on Rex\'s body and observed that it had entered a state in which it was dormant and it seemed as though this body was fighting the poison in its sleep, but from the rate that it was getting rid of the poison, it didn\'t seem to be able to recover.
Milo had poised Rex with the most powerful poison that he had created, which took him dozes of years of research.
Knowing his life was over, it was a final bid to deal Adam a blow before he died, and since he accepted his death and was already old without much to live for, his soul as taken away by a Death Wraith to the underworld.
The poison was formed out of all the deadliest poisons he had come across his entire life of research, and by fusing them, he created a poison that could mutate and multiply within the body of the victim.
Adam observed what the poison was doing and estimated that it wouldn\'t take long for the prison to become too strong for Rex\'s body to handle.
A poison that could grow stronger and mutate at unbelievable rates was a sure kill even for cultivators that surpassed the Grandmaster Level and it was his secret weapon that he had been saving up, which he ended up wasting on Rex.
Adam didn\'t want to give up on Rex, while seeing how its body was dealing with it, he had some confidence in Rex\'s survival, as it would have killed ordinary Master Cultivators within seconds.
However, he estimated that Rex could hold out for at most a month before dying, while after a week, its body would begin decaying and suffering, so it needed to receive treatment quickly.
