Chapter 82 - Growing The Auction House Part 1
Adam already knew exactly what he wanted to request from Elizabeth and threatening a few small gangs to join her wasn't a difficult task for him.
Seeing how easy it was for Adam to accept her offer, she was worried that he was going to request something that she couldn't do.
??"What is it that you want" asked Elizabeth.
"I want a motorbike that is fast, black and is untraceable. I also need it so that during the day if I wish to use it, it would be different to when I want to use it when I don't want to reveal my identity. So it should be able to change colour, model and licence plate, if that is possible. And I need it to be durable and I would prefer it to be bullet proof. And finally, it also needs a small storage space on the back" stated Adam.
His detailed request, although sounded over the top, wasn't impossible for Elizabeth to achieve, although it would cost her quite a lot of money.
"How long would it take you to prepare that for me," asked Adam shamelessly.
"Hmmm, it sounds quite difficult. It will need to be designed, then the parts found and imported, then built. At least a week" answered Elizabeth.
"Okay, take me to the small gangs you want me to subdue, and if any of them are gangs that have criminal activities that affect innocent children or women, I will have to kill them" stated Adam.
Adam had had enough of the abusive nature of humanity, and although he knew he couldn't completely save and change the world with his measly power, he knew he could make a small difference with it.
However, Adam still made sure that his main priority wasn't to be heroic, and his what mattered most was his own strength and wealth and the prosperity and safety of those that he cared about.
"I would also need a motorbike to use until then" added Adam, knowing that it would be the best way to get back to his master's dojo.
"Okay, that is fine. We will drop you off at each location and you must receive a formal declaration of them submitting to the Silver Moon Auction House. If they do not you may kill them if you please, if they do, promise them rewards and prosperity in the near future" accepted Elizabeth.
Adam understood what he needed to do and it was similar to what he needed to do with his summons.
He needed to use his power and assert dominance over the small gangs and force them to join the Silver Moon Auction House, however, he also needed to show that they would be treated well so that they are actually loyal to the organisation, rather than only doing what they are told because they are forced to.
"Won't this cause a commotion with the large families that may wipe us all out if they see us as a threat?" asked Adam as he waited to arrive at their destination.
"No, I am sure that we have nothing to worry about. We are aiming for small gangs that are on a smaller scale or similar to that of the Wolf Fang Gang, so that we can slowly grow the power of our organisation that won't only be an auction house, but also one of the most powerful organisations in the city" stated Elizabeth passionately.
Her ambition, passion and intelligence were all exactly what Adam wanted from a supporter and partner of sorts, that would help him grow in the Underground World of cultivation that secretly ruled everything.
"However you need to be careful and the police are already after this hooded killer persona that you have formed and don't kill unless you have to, as our power isn't large enough to deter or control the police" warned Elizabeth.
Adam nodded and accepted her warning, knowing that she was right.
Arriving at the first destination, it was in the poorer outer areas of Brooklyn that was similar to the place that Adam used to live with his aunt.
Adam was only able to get into quite a good school because of his above-average grades, but most of those that were in his school were from wealthy backgrounds.
"These gangs are all ragtag gangs that are forced into petty crime in order to provide for their families and many of them didn't even know about cultivation. However, they have potential and would live better lives if they joined our organisation and could live without relying on crime, while also having the opportunity to increase their strength with methods and skills that I am in the process of acquiring" explained Elizabeth, who was planning to work her organisation up from the bottom.
"Do you guys have a mask for me to use" asked Adam, who didn't bring his ski mask with him, not knowing what he was meeting Elizabeth for.
"I thought you might ask that, and had one made in preparation for that" answered Elizabeth who bought out a large mask that would cover the bottom half of his face and depicted Adam as a demonic being with sharp teeth.
"It matches your eyes" stated Elizabeth as she laughed at Adam's annoyed expression.
Despite his annoyance, Adam knew that it helped his scary facade and was his only option to cover his face for now.
"You will simply go over to the gang. Beat up a few of them that seem unruly, if you need to, then tell the rest to come to this place tonight" instructed Elizabeth as she handed over to him a few business cards that had an address written on them.
"Those that do not arrive will miss out on the opportunity, and I trust your choice of subordinates, so if any of the gangs are not to your liking, you can cross them off the list" stated Elizabeth as she handed Adam a sheet with a small list of gangs in the area written on them and the location that they were most likely to be found.
"I am lowering myself to do this because I am gaining something that I need. But next time get your other subordinates to do this and don't call me unless it is important" stated Adam as he left the car with an annoyed expression.
It was early in the morning and he was walking around with a mask and hood on, going from gang to gang and forcing them to submit to him.
"Tch, I will finish this quickly and try to avoid any police. Then I can get my motorbike and go back to my training" mumbled Adam to himself as he headed towards his first location.
