Chapter 159 - Preparing To Set Off Part 2
"Alright, but you must be quick and also be careful. You have seen how Damian is, and it is quite obvious that he will try to get in our way. It would be best if we change vehicles to one that isn't known to be ours" stated Angela.
As they got into the limousine, Wayde began driving to Brooklyn Bridge Park, while Angela and Adam sat in the back.
??"Turn around, close your eyes, or watch, I don't really mind. But I need to change my clothes" said Adam.
Knowing how Angela was, he knew that she would turn around, which was exactly what Adam wanted as he needed to use the inventory to change clothes.
With the Illusion Stones and other cultivation items, Adam decided that it wasn't too unusual that he could transform his clothes into another set and didn't think that it was something that was special and hoped that it didn't catch their eye.
And even if it did, there was a level of trust that they had, where their existences benefited each other, and transforming clothes wouldn't be of much help to them anyway.
He took off the clothes that he was wearing and placed them in the inventory but at the same time, withdrew clothes that were identical to the casual clothes that he was wearing previously.
Adam wearing similar sets of clothing made it easier for him to switch between them without people noticing and the previous set that he was wearing was stained with blood.
He kept on the same underwear, so he wasn't completely naked, and it made it seem as though the clothes had changed while they were in his hands, which was something that was unheard of by cultivators, but wasn't anything too amazing.
Changing back into the casual clothing that he was wearing before, Adam told Angela that she could turn back and she was still quite flustered as if she had never seen a man's body or been so close to one that was half-naked.
However the limousine was large and there were 2 metres between where they sat anyway, so Adam didn't think much of it, especially since he had kept on his underwear.
Adam was amused by Angela's reaction to something so small as he prepared to do all the things that he needed to do before setting off to Staten Island.
"Give me your phone number," said Angela.
Adam was surprised that as one of the candidates for the next family head, she had a smartphone that seemed very new and should be able to be tracked.
"The cell towers in Brooklyn are owned and regulated by the Maxwell Family, while this phone was specially produced for Maxwell Family members and is untraceable," said Angela, seeing that he was hesitant to do so.
Adam was surprised by that, but it was to be expected with the power that they had in their territory and exchanged numbers with Angela and Wayde.
After adding their numbers and casually talking for the rest of the journey, they finally reached the Brooklyn Bridge Park that Adam wanted them to take him to.
"We will meet back here in 2 to 3 hours and all have each other's numbers. In this time any additional information about the Epstein Family would be useful. It would also be a good time to switch to a car that has no affiliations to the Maxwell Family, so that it is harder for Damian to follow us" said Adam as he left the car near the park.
"Okay, we will be here in 2 hours, so be quick" called out Angela as Wayde drove off to do what they needed to do.
Adam knew that Chase and his aunt would be extremely worried since he had left them at the restaurant, and knew that he continuously worried his aunt and his friends with his actions that seemed to be reckless.
Adam would take all opportunities that presented themselves and deal with the repercussions without fear, but he also didn't want to drag his aunt and those that he cared about into it, as he was risking his life on most occasions.
With the Dungeon System and the lucky encounters that he had, he was rapidly progressing and he didn't want to halt his progress or slow down the momentum that he had.
At the same time, he didn't want to endanger those around him, which was why he tried his best to keep his distance from them when he was dealing with other cultivators, but sometimes, like the time at the restaurant, it was unavoidable.
While walking towards his building from the park that was near to it, Adam called all of his friends to catch up and check in on them.
Adam would always call his friends to check in on them and they were all doing well in their lives.
After telling them all that he would be gone for the next three days and that he would be busy, Adam arrived at his apartment.
Opening the door, his aunt and Chase rushed towards it as soon as they heard him reach the door.
"Where were you? What happened? Are you okay?" exclaimed his aunt as she hugged him then checked his body for any injuries.
"Relax aunt, nothing happened. I told you it would be fine, I just recognised a friend and had an important meeting to attend to" reassured her Adam as he hugged her.
After Jannet was sure that Adam was fine and that he was safe, she slapped him on the arm and became angry.
"You have to stop worrying me like that Adam. You need to be more careful" scolded his aunt.
"Yes, I am sorry. I couldn't help it" apologised Adam, who knew that he was in the wrong for worrying his aunt.
"Aunt, I know I just got back. But I need to leave for 3 days for some very important business" said Adam.
Upon hearing that, his aunt was surprised that he had to leave again so suddenly, but before he left, she wanted to have the serious talk that she wasn't able to have with Adam since awakening from her coma.
