Chapter 60 - Elizabeth's Origin
The Auction House Master knew that Adam in the grand scheme of things was also an ant and wasn't strong enough, but his unique methods with the use of animals interested her.
After seeing how young he was, she knew she had struck gold and her risk was worth it.
??He was most likely a young talent that hadn't been found yet by any of the large organisations or families, although in comparison to the 5 king families, he was still weak and insignificant.
"I am pleased to hear that you have accepted my offer for an alliance. From here on out we are allies and friends and you may call me Elizabeth" she declared as she placed out her hand.
Both were only allying with each other for their own benefit and didn't have much loyalty to each other, but it was Adam's only option and the Auction House Master's best chance to bring a young talent to her side.
"Here is my number and you can call me if you need anything in the future, and this phone must be yours" she stated as she handed over a broken non-smart phone and a business card with her number on it.
Adam then recited his own number back to the Elizabeth, that he had memorised previously with his enhanced memory, and after she noted it down, she turned to leave.
"Watch your back and you can't be making any more stupid mistakes like taking your phone and apartment identification with you, when attempting to hide your identity. You should also look for ways to continue to improve your strength if you want to survive and go up in the underground world that is based around strength and cultivation" advised Elizabeth as she left with a pleased expression.
'Maybe this will be the turning point for my organisation and I might finally be able to make my ancestors proud' thought Elizabeth to herself as she left.
Elizabeth was a descendant of the Carter Family which she didn't know much about.
But what she did know was that her family once stood on par with the large families with their medical abilities, but had declined over time as the other families, with much higher combat power and influence, suppressed them and didn't allow them to grow.
They were unrivalled when it came to alchemy and healing arts, but their fighting power was quite low.
Seeing that, the 5 other families saw it as a perfect opportunity to expand their wealth and territory.
They all worked together to wipe out the Carter Family and stole most of the skills and methods that the Carter Family had, along with all their wealth and territory.
Over time the Carter Family, that once stood at the peak of the area that they helped found, currently known as New York, were erased from history and forgotten.
Only a few from the Carter Family managed to escape under the radar and hid, hoping they could regain the power that their family once had, but they had never succeeded in doing so and their numbers dwindled until only Elizabeth was left.
Her resentment towards the 5 large families of New York had been carried over generations along with the drive to reach the peak once again.
Although over the years most of the healing techniques and methods that their family had left were lost, Elizabeth was still quite skilled in healing and from a young age had been taught by her grandparents everything they knew.
Her mother had passed away in child birth and her father from illness not long after, leaving her in the care of her grandparents.
After teaching her as much as they could, old age had gotten the best of them and they to passed away, leaving Elizabeth all alone.
Using her medical ability she had made quite a lot of money in her private medical centre, then when she had made enough money, she invested all of it into the Silver Moon Auction House and gathering people to join her organisation.
She wanted to form a neutral and influential organisation until she was powerful enough to reveal her identity as the last descendant of the Carter Family.
But despite all her efforts, her auction house had minimal success and was only able to host a slightly successful auction because of the Master Weapon Forger Angelo, who they had bribed to use their auction.
However the success was short lived and the Wolf Fang Gang had not only destroyed a large part of their building, but had also ruined their reputation and left them no choice but to kill Angelo.
Yet Adam was the small ray of light that Elizabeth saw after all the obstacles on her journey to the peak, and her instincts told her that Adam was worth allying with and would be a massive help to her in the future.
His young age, skill, talent for cultivation and weird abilities were all evidence of his worth.
But Elizabeth had a feeling his worth was much deeper than that and weirdly felt as though he was the key to her success.
As Elizabeth left and returned to the Auction House, that had also became her home and most of her life, Adam still sat on the chair he was at previously collecting his thoughts.
Removing his SIM card and placing it on his table, Adam had a list of things that he needed to do before he could feel safe that nobody else other than Elizabeth found out about his identity and to increase his strength.
He needed to train his fighting skills, so that his hunting would be much more efficient and he needed to gain as much System Points as he could so that he could unlock the transferal feature.
Not only that he also needed a wider range of clothes, so that it couldn't be used to track him along with a mask that he could use to hide his identity.
Knowing that he could leave everything to Sarah when it came to earning money and if it was unsuccessful or he needed money he could rely on Elizabeth, Adam's main focus was his strength and capability.
