Chapter 52 - Mysterious Man
"Stealthily take them out, without getting shot" ordered Adam to his summons.
The python beast and hare-like beast, that also seemed to be able to see in the smoke, followed their master's orders as they dashed close to the ground towards the wolf fang gang.
Adam crawled on the ground and headed towards where he could see Angelo hiding.
[I can gain the favour of the auction house, but the reward isn't equivalent to the risk and I will also get myself that weapon] decided Adam.
The loud blasting of weapons resounded throughout the open centre that was covered in a dense fog that blinded them all, apart from Adam.
The Pythonidae summon rapidly slithered up the wolf fang leader's body, catching him by surprise, and reaching his neck, the Pythonidae summon tightly squeezed with all its strength.
The wolf fang leader, who was almost a rank 2 Mortal External Cultivator, around LVL 17, was instantly taken out by Adam's summon who had snuck up on him and instantly went for the weakest point for gripping.
While the Leopridae Summon had also taken down two of the wolf fang gang's men, slashing open their necks.
Their speed and intelligence, along with the element of surprise and the targets being blinded, made it so that it was easy for them to take them out.
The firing of bullets became less and less as some of the guards were shot down by stray bullets, and the wolf fang gang were being taken out by Adam's summons, who were carefully picking them off.
Adam who had reached Angelo, swiftly snatched the sabre out of his hand and dashed away.
"I will take it as payment for saving your life, while you should also tell the Auction woman that I will return to get my payment from her" called out Adam in a hoarse voice, making sure that it was heard by everybody.
Adam had changed his voice as much as he could to make it as deep and intimidating as he could, while also making sure it sounded realistic.
Instantly Angelo was furious, but there was nothing he could do in the current situation.
As soon as Adam held the blade, he felt his power rise massively.
[This really is a C Rank Weapon and its quality is great] thought Adam to himself as he headed towards the wolf fang gang.
"Don't kill the son" ordered Adam to his summon, who wasn't completely sure of the way to escape.
The son, other than the leader, would be the one out of all of them who was most likely to know the way for him to escape using the sewers, as although Adam had heard their plan, he didn't know the details.
Adam could see that the fog was beginning to become thinner and the others were then able to slightly see, as he dashed towards the wolf fang leader's son was crying on the ground.
Retracting his summons, Adam's red eyes began to burn with the desire to kill, as his Bloodlust was awakened by the blood and dead bodies, but with his Hunter's mind and his own mind battling against the Bloodlust, he managed to suppress most of it.
Grabbing the wolf fang leaders son from his collar with his left hand, and carrying the stolen blade in his right hand, Adam bolted up the stairs that took him out of the centre, leaving the guards shooting at thin air.
"Go after him" screamed Angelo furiously as the smoke began to disperse.
His guards rushed up the stairs and stepped over the wolf fang gang members' bodies, chasing after the mysterious man in black clothing.
"I will never work with this trash Auction House ever again" declared Angelo angrily.
"Who said you will have the chance to live and ever use an auction house again, as I cannot allow you to leave and defame my auction house" stated the woman as she grabbed a pistol from one of her guards.
"What, you are going to kill me. Do you know how many people will come after you if you dare to and..." said Angelo before falling backwards onto the ground after a gunshot.
"The wolf fang gang staged a robbery and killed Angelo in the process, but the Silver Moon Auction house took them out, but unfortunately Angelo's weapon went missing" narrated the woman to herself making up a story of what happened.
"Kill the rest of Angelo's men and bring their bodies here, and if you come across that mysterious man, do not engage in combat and let him leave" ordered the woman to her 5 guards that instantly followed after Angelo's guards.
They instantly followed her orders that were the right choice in the current situation, as she didn't know the mysterious man's power and also owed him.
"I will wait for you to come to me when you need anything, to find out who you really are" mumbled to herself the woman with a curious expression.
Meanwhile, Adam held the wolf fang leader's son against a wall in a viewing room and held the stolen sabre to his neck.
"Where is the sewer escape route" interrogated Adam.
"You.. you.. you are that man that beat me that day" realised the wolf fang leader's son, seeing Adam's identical clothes and body shape.
"I will never tell you anything" he stated.
"I am over here, come..." he suddenly screamed before choking on his own blood.
As soon as he began to scream, Adam knew it was a lost cause and slashed his neck ruthlessly, relieving his desire to kill him, that was not only because of the Bloodlust, but also because of what Adam had heard of his actions.
Adam had gained the sabre and the favour of the Auction House, but he was also stuck inside and didn't know of a way to escape without requiring help or getting caught.
[Now how am I meant to get out] thought Adam to himself as he hid behind the door and tightly held his stolen sabre.
