Chapter 188 - Three Man Team Offer Part 2
Cole had told Adam most of the things that he had experienced and how he had been acting confident, but he actually felt as though he had no chance against Mason and the others on his team.
He wanted to try and get an advantage by making it a 3 against 3, but it backfired and after Cole told him all his worries, Adam burst out into laughter.
??"Why are laughing" shouted Cole, annoyed by Adam as he unknowingly launched a wind blade at Adam's shoulder.
It was a reflexive action and was also the first time that Cole had attacked a person using the techniques and skills that he had learnt during his training.
Adam was amazed by the power of the Wind Elemental Affinity that he had heard Cole tell him about and had instinctively tried to dodge the wind blade that Cole had flung towards him by swinging his arm. However, it was too fast and cut open his shoulder, leaving a deep wounded that was bleeding heavily.
"I'm so sorry, I thought you would be able to dodge it and I also didn't expect that it would be so fast," said Cole.
"You idiot, I am only a metre away from you and wasn't expecting the attack, so I obviously wouldn't be able to dodge it" scolded Adam.
"But that was awesome," said Adam who was playing a battle within his mind between a cultivator with a water elemental affinity and a cultivator with a wind elemental affinity.
It was an incredible thing to witness and Cole seemed to be able to compress the air around his arm and form a blade out of it, that was not only barely visible and very light, but was also very fast when he threw it at his target.
"You really are quite stupid sometimes, but don't worry about it" reassured Adam, who wasn't angry or annoyed in the slightest.
Cole was worried about Adam's wound and wanted to get him help, but Adam reassured him that he would be able to recover easily and in a short while. Adam had experienced much worse pain and injuries, so wasn't even fazed by the slight pain and injury as he continued their talk.
"I wasn't laughing because I found your situation amusing, it was because it worked out perfectly with what I had come to Staten Island to do" explained Adam.
Adam then went on to tell Cole about Chase and how he had went for a meal with his aunt, then came across triad members. He didn't keep or hide anything from him apart from the fact that he had used the inventory to withdraw the Sabre, and told him about how he had killed the triad members.
Cole was shocked by how casually Adam spoke about killing, but he realised just how much he was behind Adam in terms of adapting to the world of cultivation. He may have known about it and begun cultivating before Adam, but from Adam's eyes, he felt that Adam was much more experienced and capable than himself.
After that, he told him about how he came across Angela and Wayde and that had no chance but to go with them, since they could easily kill them and everything else that had happened at the Maxwell Family.
It was only fair that Adam was honest with Cole and told him most things since he was on the level of his brother and already knew about cultivation. There were only a few things that he was keeping from him, but they were things that he was keeping from everybody.
"So you want to help me become the family head, then form an alliance with the Maxwell Family so that the family heads of both the families are your friends. And so that you can also help both your friends and help their families to take over New York by assisting each other" summarised Cole.
"Yes, everyone benefits from it massively and there is no reason for any of the people involved to not want to help" confirmed Adam.
It was a great plan, but Cole still didn't know how what Adam had experienced over the past few days had anything to do with helping him in his 3 against 3 battle with Mason.
"So what's your plan for helping me with my battle that made you laugh?" asked Cole.
"Well, it is simple. The other two on your team will be me and Wayde" answered Adam.
Cole was shocked by his suggestion and his offer, but at the same time, although Wayde was somebody that he would definitely want on his team if he was as good as Adam said, Adam didn't seem to be that powerful.
Seeing how he reacted, Adam could tell exactly what he was thinking and knew that, that was to be expected since he wasn't able to dodge his attack and hadn't shown what he was capable of.
"Do you want to spar?" offered Adam with a slight smile.
Before offering to spar with Cole, he checked his status, just to make sure that he could actually win against him. He was pleasantly surprised by what he saw floating on top of Cole's head.

Adam was pleased with the detail that the Status Peering Feature showed him and found that it was based on what he wanted to find out and how much he wanted to find out about it.
"Is there something on my face?" asked Cole while seeing Adam staring at his face.
"No you don't, but do you want to spar?" offered Adam a second time, eager to test out his own power and the power of Cole in a battle.
"Sure why not" accepted Cole who was equally as eager to fight Adam.
