Chapter 539 - Questions
Su Lan was greatly indebted to Adam and couldn't think of anything that she could offer him for the time being, so all she could do was thank him again and again.
"I said it was fine. You already owe me a favour and I am sure you will repay me somehow with your uptight nature, so just relax," Adam reassured her, starting to get annoyed by her repeated thanks.
After saying that, he also undid his disguise that made him look like Liao Wei, and staring at him, Su Lan was amazed.
How was that even physically possible?
She watched as his skin and facial features moved and although very quickly to the point it was almost instantaneous, she still caught a glimpse of the movements.
And after they were completed, the changes were evident.
Even the pigment of his skin had changed, with all the blemishes he had added disappearing.
"Stop gawking at me like that. This is my real face, and it's uncomfortable putting on somebody else's face. It's like having an itchy nose, but not being able to satisfy the itch," he said.
Su Lan was still gobsmacked and didn't know how his disguise actually worked, but compared to everything else he had shown to be capable of, it was to be expected of him.
She sat opposite Adam in silence for a few moments and it was clear she was dazed and deep in thought. She didn't even blink as she stared straight at him before suddenly bombarding him with all the questions on her mind.
"How can your face move like that?"
"Why are your eyes red?"
"How can you copy everyone's moves?"
"Exactly how old are you?"
"Where are you from?"
"What are you seeking from this competition and this country?"
"How is your Chinese so good?"
"Why are you hiding your power?"
"Who is your master?"
"How did you even get that strong?!"
Adam who had just started to get comfortable and had undone his disguise along with laying down on the sofa couldn't help but laugh, seeing how desperate she appeared to be.
It seemed as though he was causing her to lower her guard and it allowed them to feel at ease and open up, but he still couldn't be bothered to answer all her questions properly.
"I'm Adam, a 19-year-old from the states. My eyes are red coz they are, my face can move because I'm amazing and I am skilled with languages. As for my master, he was just some random fat old man before he kicked the bucket. And I am hiding my power because I have no reason to reveal it. While my goal is to find someone important to me," he said, briefly answering all her questions.
She was still hungry to find out everything about him.
Who wouldn't be enthralled by such an enigma?
But she could see that he didn't really want to talk much.
"The person I am looking for is family and I am not looking for trouble. Also, I am sure you can find out more about me, it shouldn't be too hard," he said, seeing that she was making her own assumptions.
As soon as he said that, she took out a device from her pocket that appeared to be similar to the one that Elizabeth had provided him, and began searching the Top Cultivator Ranking.
Seeing how powerful Adam was, she had no doubt that he would be up there and she even believed that he would be above the Branch Master with his mysterious and unknown capabilities.
And within a matter of minutes, it seemed as though she found the information on him on the Cultivator Dark Web.
"Death...?"
"Yup, that's the nickname I chose. Quite scary, isn't it?"
Looking at his file and how he had supposedly taken over a city from the underground and killed hundreds with ease, then looking at the person who comfortably lay before her and was sipping on juice, she couldn't help but chuckle slightly.
If she hadn't seen his capabilities for herself, she never would have believed he would be capable of much.
Although the information available about him was scarce, it made him out to be some sort of monster, but in her eyes, he was the first man that she respected and liked platonically.
"So... Death. What's this Sentinels Faction of yours?" she asked.
Since he supposedly founded it and was also the secret master of it, she was very curious about what it was.
He gave her a rough explanation and also told her that she could think of herself as an affiliate of his, so was a hidden ally of the faction.
After hearing his explanation and everything else he had done, she wasn't against being a part of the faction in the slightest and was slightly disappointed that he didn't offer her an official position within it.
Adam had obviously considered recruiting her, but he had his doubts. Her capabilities were on par with his friends and she could even surpass some of them, so her power wasn't the reason he was debating it.
It was because he was looking out for her.
"You are a sword master of the Su Family. Your place is here and once you rise to the peak, then you can do as you please. But I don't want to hold you back. So, let's just keep things unofficial," he said, almost as if he could read her mind.
She was grateful that he had her best interest in mind and also lay down on the sofa that she was sitting on and never thought she would be relaxing and so casually talking with another, let alone a man.
However, she couldn't help but be glad that things had turned out the way she did and couldn't suppress the smile that kept creeping up her face.
Talking for a while longer, Adam had ensured that there was nobody within their vicinity and that it would be impossible for anybody to listen in on them.
Su Lan was a ball of questions and just kept firing away, while Adam was very laid back and soon he was hit with a question that Su Lan felt very strongly about.
