Chapter 139 - Arrogant Triad Members Part 2
The manager couldn't care less about Adam's safety, and seeing that Adam didn't want to leave with them, took Jannet and Chase away with him and locked off the area.
Adam was calm and unbothered by what was occurring, as metal gates began to slowly come down from the ceiling, shutting off all entrances and exits to the area, completely blocking it off from the rest of the hotel, just how the triad wanted it.
??It had become clear to Adam's aunt that her son was no longer the same boy that she had raised, and had not only grown into a man, but had also become special and was no longer something that she could understand.
The quite drastic change in his appearance and physique, which were both positive, were clearly supernatural and she could tell that he was involved in quite a few mysterious things that he hadn't reveal to her.
Jannet would turn a blind eye to most of it and didn't really pry into Adam's life, not wanting to anger Adam and make him cut ties with her. She only wanted the best for her son, and as long as he was happy, she was happy, and Adam was the same way with her.
However, after reading about the article that was written about artificially induced comas that were in her hospital and then finding out about the murder of the hospital director, she could see that they were clearly related.
Jannet could have sued the hospital, but after the director of the hospital, who was responsible for it, had died, it wasn't worth the trouble. Adam seemed financially capable and stable, so she didn't have to worry about money and she tried her best to ignore the blatant changes in Adam.
She dismissed the director's murder a day after her awakening as a coincidence and didn't once think that it had something to do with Adam, but after seeing the way he acted and what he was capable of, it made her wonder whether it was him.
He had displayed incredible reflexes in the apartment, being able to catch things before they were dropped, and wouldn't be home most times and wouldn't ever reveal what he was doing to anybody.
His suspicious behaviour, mysterious nature and large changes had all tipped his aunt over the edge, and she left with Chase planning to enjoy the rest of her day, but decided that the next time she was alone with Adam, she would have a serious conversation with him.
She felt as though she had lost all authority over Adam and their relationship had changed from one that used to be of a mother and son. Adam was respectful and caring, so she had no complaints about his attitude, but there was too much that she didn't know about him.
"Now then, it's time for your punishment, you little bitch. Did you really think you could threaten the triad with your small investigation and trashy weapon? You might have been able to lock us away with the evidence that you might have gathered, but now you won't be leaving here alive" said the triad group leader as he slapped Angela in the face.
She was tied up and wouldn't have been able to resist anyway as she fell on the ground and lay there, unable to get up or defend herself.
The triad group leader didn't stop there and pounced on top of her as he began to touch her inappropriately.
"Get off me, help" she wailed as tears streamed down her face, but her calls were unanswered and the triad group leader covered her mouth with his hand.
"For a disgusting cop, you have quite a nice body, don't you. Why don't you satisfy me and I might let you go" said the triad member as he moved to strip Angela.
Adam who stood in the corner of the area, watching everything unfold silently, cleared his throat and interrupted the triad group leader before he did so.
"I don't think you should do that," said Adam as he walked out of the corner that he had stood in and headed towards the large table that the triad members were sat at with multiple women.
The triad members sat at the most central and largest table in the area, and their table was filled with liquor and food, that the manager had served them before leaving.
The triad group leader was near that table and was on top of Angela who couldn't resist his touching. He was confused by why and how Adam was still in the area of the restaurant without them noticing and was angry that he had been interrupted while having his fun.
"How the hell did you stay in here without me sensing your presence and why are you here. Do you have a death wish?" bellowed the triad group leader.
Adam wasn't scared in the slightest by his threat and had a small smile on his face with calm and still eyes. He wasn't planning on playing the hero, especially for the detective that was after him, but seeing what the triad group leader was doing and about to do to her, he couldn't stand it.
"You triad members are too arrogant for your own good and you couldn't sense my present because you are too stupid" mocked Adam as he continued strolling towards them slowly.
He had seen the triad group leader's status, and his intelligence stat was only slightly higher than that of an ordinary person, so he knew that he wouldn't be able to sense his presence if he held his breath and retracted his aura.
It was something that Adam had become very skilled at, and knew that it would be very useful if he needed to stealthy kill someone, and being able to mask one's presence was a universally useful ability.
"Hahahaha, are you tired of living?" bellowed the triad group leader as the rest of the triad members also stood up and laughed at Adam.
