While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

Chapter 103 - Returning To Master

"Do you think he noticed?" asked Jaspar to Elizabeth.

"He didn't seem to, but with Adam, you can never be sure" answered Elizabeth.

"Do you think it was the right choice to place the tracker on Adam's motorcycle? What if he cuts ties with us?" asked Elizabeth, doubting whether it was the right thing to do.

"Well he wouldn't be able to find it without pulling the motorcycle apart and it a good way for me to keep tabs on him. We can also use it to tame and restrain him as he is too wild" stated Jaspar, who was planning on slowly forcing Adam to fall to a position of a subordinate instead of a partner.

"But he isn't a wild animal. He is our ally and partner" said Elizabeth still feeling guilty for going behind Adam's back.

"There can only be one at the top and that will either be you and your organisation or him" stated Jaspar as he walked away leaving Elizabeth alone to think to herself.

Elizabeth felt bad, but after thinking about it, she hadn't done anything that directly harmed Adam and decided that she would keep it as it is and not feel guilty, while also trusted Jaspar's judgement as he was yet to be wrong.

Meanwhile, Adam was driving back to his apartment to pick up somethings before he went back to train with his master.

[If she really did go behind my back and placed a tracker on this motorcycle, I might have no choice but to cut ties with her and maybe even kill her] thought Adam to himself who, despite forming a good relationship with her, wasn't willing to forgive someone that betrayed his trust.

[I will use her as much as possible for resources and monetary value, then I will get Chase out of there and decide whether or not to cut ties with her. If I do cut ties with her because of her malicious intentions, I will kill her and anybody else that had any remote knowledge about my identity, and if she didn't, we will keep our partnership] decided Adam as he reached his apartment.

He had access to a parking lot in his apartment building that was paid for under his 4000 dollars monthly rent, and he parked his motorcycle in the designated space that came with his apartment.

He wasn't worried that it might be stolen as there were cameras and security and it was only an average looking motorcycle while in the first model.

Walking up to his apartment, his aunt was shocked by the leather suit that he was wearing and the helmet that he had with him, but Adam just said to her that he had been riding motorbikes for a few months and had only just bought one.

He had a duffle bag in his room that he placed the leather set into and a few more sets of clothing that he knew he would need after training with his crazy master.

Carrying the duffle bag out of his room, he realised he could place it into the inventory and did exactly that.

However, the items were separated and the duffel bag and each set of clothing took up one space in the inventory.

[Darn system, can't even let me put a bag with things in it, inside the inventory] cursed Adam in annoyance.

He took the duffel bag out of the inventory so he could use it to carry things in reality, and kept 5 sets of clothing and the sabre in the inventory, saving 4 places in case of anything that might come up.

He then went to the local store and bought all kinds of snacks and soda that he saw and bought one of each type to give to his master.

After filling up his duffel bag with snacks and drinks, he stuffed the duffle bag in the large storage compartment under the motorcycle seat and was prepared to return to his master and continue his training. 

He made sure to tell his aunt that he would be gone for a few days and that there was nothing to worry about, then left on his motorcycle towards the remote mountainous region at the edge of the city, where his master resided.

On the way, he stopped at a gas station and made sure that he filled up his motorcycle to the maximum, and with its large fuel tank, it was more than enough to take him to and from his master's dojo multiple times.

He was excited to continue his training and see his master's reaction to the snacks he bought him and the motorcycle that he rode there, but he still couldn't shake the feeling that he was being tracked.

Adam had learnt to trust his instincts over anything else in most situations and was almost completely sure that he was being tracked through a tracker that must be in the motorcycle.

[If that is how it is, then you leave me no choice but to treat you like an enemy] declared Adam to himself.

He was planning to act normally around Elizabeth and especially around Jaspar as he used them for his own benefit and also helped them slightly, but after he had accumulated enough wealth and acquired enough strength, he would cut ties with them and destroy anything to do with them to remove any traces of himself. That is if they had malicious intentions towards him.

[It always goes back to that one saying. Have one eye on your enemies, but two eyes on your friends, because at least with your enemies you know their intentions] thought Adam to himself as he drove at the speed limit towards his master's location.

Adam was disappointed with Elizabeth who he was beginning to warm up to, and it reminded him that there weren't many that he could trust. The small act of betrayal and the distrust that she displayed caused Adam to revert back to his untrusting and paranoid self that he had become just after integrating with the Hunter's Mind.

Adam felt very comfortable driving the motorbike and was confident in his ability to do so as and after almost an hour of driving, finally saw the forest in the distance that he recognised as the one that surrounded his master's dojo.

He drove off the road and with the durable wheels that he had, he wasn't worried about them being popped. He wove between the trees, driving slowly so that he could control it properly, and after a few minutes, he finally reached the dojo his master was residing in.

As soon as Adam entered the forest around the dojo, he was sensed by his master and after confirming that it wasn't an enemy approaching him with his spiritual sense, he relaxed.

"The kid has finally returned after leaving me waiting for almost 4 days" mumbled the old stocky man to himself.

"Master I have returned" announced Adam as he dragged the motorcycle up the stairs into the dojo and placed it in the corner of the dojo.

"I also came bearing gifts" added Adam as he withdrew the large duffel bag filled with snacks out of his motorcycle storage compartment.

As soon as the old man heard gifts, he seemingly teleported and appeared beside Adam with speed that was too fast for his eyes to register.

Adam began explaining what the snacks and the soda was to his master, as his master was overjoyed with the flavours that he was experiencing.

"This is what I have been missing out on all these years. My student has bought me such wonderful treasures" exclaimed the old man as he stuffed his face with all different snacks that Adam had bought.

"Now try all these drinks," said Adam as he handed him a bottle of orange soda.

"Incredible" bellowed the old man joyously as he continued to wolf down snacks then drink it down with soda.

Within 10 minutes he had eaten all the snacks that Adam had bought, that was over 50 dollars of snacks and drinks.

"Where did you acquire such wondrous treasures that have such amazing flavours," asked the old man.

"They are not healthy and you shouldn't eat that much and if you eat it all the time you will get fat," said Adam.

"I don't care about that, how can I get more," asked the old man who had become addicted to the newly experienced snacks.

"I get them from a very far away place using that special vehicle and it cost me fortunes" answered Adam wanting to use the snacks as leverage to gain things from his master.

"Don't play with me boy" scolded the old man as he struck Adam on the head. 

How he said it was very convincing, but it was a blatant lie as Adam's master began beating him.

"You dare lie to your teacher" stated the old man as he kicked Adam and launched him crashing into the wall of the dojo.

"Okay relax I can bring you more next time I leave, just stop already" blurted out Adam no longer being able to take the beating.

"That's more like it," said the old man with a gloating expression.

"Now use that recovery skill of yours and prepare for some intense training"
