Amber’s cry almost startled Adam, he was faced with two advancing enemies and the one a his back, simultaneously he forcefully jabbed his elbow into the guy at his back, while raising both his legs at the same time hitting the guy at his front, all three men stumbled to the ground groaning and clutching their abdomen,“Impressive”Lincoln called out, but Adam ignored him as he continued focusing on the men who had refused to give up the fight. Just as he raised his fist to attack, Amber called out in an ear-piercing scream,“Adam! Mr Sage is losing consciousness and a lot of blood!! I can barely feel his pulse”Hearing her diagnosis, Adam clenched his eyes shut, he had a feeling that was going to happen, and he didn't want to lose precious time fighting some miscreants away, when Sage Robinson’s life was in danger, from the moment he had met the man, he felt something odd about him and this incident was not a good one for him health-wise.Right there and then, he made up his mind and
The confrontation and tension between Adam and Lincoln increased, as Lincoln introduced his worthy and formidable fighters into the mix, increasing the stakes and tension.From where he stood, Adam could feel Amber’s distress and it further increased his irritation and worry; the stakes were high right now, he wasn't only fighting for his life, but for his honour as well.Clenching his fists tightly by his side, Adam glared at Lincoln, he was tired of all these people throwing their minions at him and not facing him themselves, as far as he was concerned, the logical thing to do was face your enemy personally by yourself, not having someone to do it for you,With that in mind, he lifted his head and faced Lincoln while the five giants stood guard over him, a ready-to-kill look on their faces, Adam folded his arms across his chest and addressed his newest enemy,“Tell me Lincoln, if you say you'll kill me or whatnot, why not do it yourself? Why do you send other people my way?”Lincoln
Amber’s heart pounded in her chest as she watched the five giants menacingly fly towards Adam, who stood facing his imposing opponents, these men towered over him, with their muscles bulging and straining against their skin, their eyes set ablaze with killing intent, they indeed looked like the undefeated champions that they were being called.To make matters worse, these men were cannibals and fed on the flesh of humans for fun, she couldn't imagine being meals for these beasts, and she shuddered at the thought, her fiery gaze found its way to Lincoln who was looking at the scene with avid interest and a smug smile, and she couldn't help but curse him beneath her breath,“Bloody sick bastard”It was unbelievable that they had gone from one bloody fook to another, first from Vance and then to Lincoln, Elliot wasn't a worthy fool and so he didn't need mentioning. Beads of sweat filled her body as she feared for the worse.While Amber’s heart pounded ferociously against her chest, Adam
“No!!!!!!!”Lincoln cried out from where he stood gaping, his eyes widening in disbelief, and bunched his fist, his entire face going red.He could scarcely believe his eyes; all five giants that he had been boastful of, had been reduced to nothing in the hands of the fucker!“I will fucking kill you! You bastard! Wait till I get my hands on you” He fumed and glared at Adam, but rather than prove his threat true by advancing towards Adam, he did the complete opposite by walking backward while looking at Adam, in his mind, one move from Adam and he would flail and bail out of there in an instant,Amber was feeling smug as she stared at the big oaf, he couldn't do anything as his powers had been stripped off of him, for the fun of it, she tried to mess with his head and smirked as a little evil thought came to mind,“Yah!!!” she screamed while flaring her hands and Lincoln immediately fell as he struggled to move backward, his entire face reddening while he glared at Amber. Seeing her
Adam expelled a deep breath, trying to calm himself before he could take any further action, suddenly Amber dishes in with the required items, and let out a loud gasp, her free hand immediately covering her mouth,“Oh my God! H-he's dead”She exclaimed in a low and disbelieving voice, and Adam promptly shook his head, as he tried to assure her, despite being on edge himself,“No he isn't, his body just went into shock” Amber bent her head to one side staring at him with disbelieving eyes, but she kept mute, choosing to believe Adam, even if the man before her looked dead and was extremely white.Not wanting to waste any further time, Adam got to work, taking the items from a trembling Amber’s hand, he began mixing the necessary things to stabilise Sage Robinson. Wasting no time as well, he tended to the wound that had been caused by the sword, cleaning it with alcohol and using a clean cloth to salve it, before he mixed some herbs and rubbed them on the surface of the wound, gently p
They all turned their heads to the direction of the voice, and were stunned to see Vance standing smugly at the doorway,Amber was the first to recover as she glared at him, her eyes shooting daggers right at him, aiming for his head,“Look who decided to show up”Vance ignored her statement, and walked into the room, his eyes fixated on Adam, who only arched his brow at him in question, Vance raised his hands up in defense,“I told you I had somewhere to be…”“Yeah right” Amber interrupted him but he only rolled his eyes at her, and ignored her before he went on,“I have someone who's well vast in herbs and poison collections”At his statement, Amber once again snapped her head to the back, are eyes widening a little; who in their right minds would also gather poisons into their collections she wondered to herself but didn't say anything as she listened on,“Her mother used to be a skilled martial artist before her death, and also a divine healer who was known for using reverse metho
“Master?? W-what are y-you saying?”Sage Robinson questioned incredulously, he found it hard to believe Adam’s words but he knew he couldn't be fibbing, there had to be some sort of truth to this declaration. Still gaping at Adam, he echoed his thought,“Who's the traitor master? Who is it?”Adam shrugged his shoulders in response, he didn't have an answer to that question, at least not for now, but one thing he was sure of, was that there was a traitor in their group, who was also trying to take Sage out, for what end he didn't know, but his best bet was for power, and to take over from the old man.“I do not have answers now, but I advise you to be extra careful from now on, suspect anybody and nobody, be mindful of who you take things and advice from. I believe someone is after your position, and they don't mind getting rid of you to get it”He informed a solemn Sage, whose face kept falling at Adam’s every word. Sage Robinson could only manage a nod, while his head and heart kept
Adam, seeking solace from the relentless drama and chaos, decided to venture to "La Maison Gourmet," the new culinary talk of the town, leaving every other person to their plans. The taxi ride there was just another reminder of his growing disdain for public transport and his experiences with them,As he paid the fare, he muttered under his breath, "That's it. I need a new car that I'll drive myself."Stepping into La Maison Gourmet, Adam was immediately enveloped in an ambiance that screamed luxury and exclusivity, His casual attire, a stark contrast to the opulent surroundings, didn't go unnoticed,A pair of well-dressed women at the entrance glanced his way, their eyes scanning him from head to toe,"Look at that," One whispered loud enough for Adam to hear, a smirk playing on her lips,"Did he mistake this place for a diner?"Adam felt a little insulted by their remarks, his cheeks tinting a little, but he ignored their statements, as he walked with his head held high; if he wan
