When Adam faced against the Enhanced Bodybuilder, even if he didn’t possess any recovery skills, he was still fearless. He was confident that he could defeat the Enhanced Bodybuilder if he was given enough time.But the premise was that his sniper team would support him from afar while there wasn’t anyone he needed to protect. The first requirement was fulfilled but Amelia and Krisha became a burden to him.“Gerald, you and the rest escort Amelia and Krisha, now!”Gerald, the leader of the bodyguard team, immediately nodded and heeded Adam’s command. For them, they knew that even if Adam planned to deal with the failed experiment subject and that would compromise Adam’s safety, Adam’s order was still above his safety.Without any hesitation, they immediately led Amelia and Krisha out of the amusement park, leaving Adam alone in front of the Enhanced Bodybuilder.It was worth noting that the Enhanced Bodybuilder was being shot by his sniper team which was the reason why it was distract
“Thank you, Satania!”Adam spoke as he canceled his perfect concealment so that Satania who was controlling the drone could locate him.Although that also allowed the Enhanced Bodybuilder to detect Adam’s presence, it didn’t pose any threat to Adam since before the Enhanced Bodybuilder could attack him, Adam swiftly took the daggers from the drone and activated perfect concealment again.After obtaining the two daggers and familiarizing himself with them, Adam couldn’t help but think, ‘It seemed that my Ultimate Assassin talent is indeed more suited for daggers than guns. At least this can give me an edge against the Enhanced Bodybuilder who didn’t possess any combat skills.’With that thought in mind, Adam didn’t deactivate his perfect concealment skill yet.The weakness of his perfect concealment skill was that it could only be in effect when he wasn’t in a state of attacking his target. When he launches his attack on his opponent, his perfect concealment skill is immediately deacti
After Adam calculated the trajectory and force of his daggers, Adam aimed his daggers toward the heart of the Enhanced Bodybuilder. But he didn’t throw his daggers and instead, he held it tightly with both of his hands and plunged it towards the back of the Enhanced Bodybuilder.When Adam’s daggers pierced through the back of the Enhanced Bodybuilder, carefully avoiding its bones and only penetrating through its flesh, his left-hand dagger pierced through the Enhanced Bodybuilder’s heart while his right-hand dagger pierced through its right lung.As if that wasn’t enough, Adam rapidly twisted and further thrust the daggers inside the body of the Enhanced Bodybuilder, shredding its heart and lungs.Adam was well aware of the moderately fast recovery speed of the Enhanced Bodybuilder’s body so he dared not take his chances. Adam knew that it was likely for the Enhanced Bodybuilder to recover its heart if it was only pierced or cut.But what if his heart was shredded to pieces beyond rep

In other words, if his talent achievement task’s requirements were about killing a target, if his talent achievement task was completed, then his target must be dead!“This should be the first time that I have obtained two Ultimate Talents at once,
Adam’s All-Encompassing Salvation skill could also be used to save someone not only in a state of kidnap but also in a mental state. For example, if someone had walked on the path of self-destruction and wasn’t in a healthy mental state, the skill could also be used to save them from such suffering.Of course, salvation varied for different individuals. If they are beyond saving, and the salvation they want is the sweet embrace of death, then that’s what Adam’s All-Encompassing Salvation skill would do.For now, Adam didn’t know the limits of his All-Encompassing Salvation skill. But he estimated that his All-Encompassing Salvation skill was powerful enough to even distort reality itself!Of course, if that indeed happened, Adam knew that distorting reality would take a lot of energy and that might result in his All-Encompassing skill being in a state of cooldown.Although, if it was only to bring salvation to those who were kidnapped, Adam was informed by the system that he could use
After Adam tested his ability to hide his presence without using his perfect concealment skill, he no longer hid himself and went to the front door of his mansion. However, his appearance at his front door made his security guards doubt their lives again since they could have sworn that they patrolled the outside area of the mansion thoroughly yet their boss managed to slip past them!‘Fortunately, it’s only the boss who slipped past us. Or else…’When Adam’s security guards thought of the consequences of screwing up their job, they couldn’t help but tremble!Adam didn’t care much about what his security guards thought since for him, it would serve as a good lesson for his security guards to better perform their jobs or else a similar case like this would happen.When Adam arrived at his doorstep, he didn’t have to open it as it was opened by his doorman who was also shocked by his appearance. But compared to his security guards, his doorman wasn’t that surprised since his doorman had
While Adam was hugging Amelia intimately, he already noticed Krisha’s presence near him and Amelia. But since Krisha didn’t interrupt him, he didn’t care much and continued hugging Amelia.It was only after Amelia and Adam finished hugging each other that Krisha walked to Adam and asked, “Do you have any plans against the UH Foundation? Just so you know, I am not the only successful product of the UH Foundation. If it’s combat-related matters, even I can’t provide you my assistance in that.”Hearing Krisha’s question, Adam pondered for a while before answering, “Yes, I indeed have a plan. However, dealing with the UH Foundation is not my utmost priority yet. I still need to amass my influence and power in this world before I can confidently deal with the UH Foundation.”When Krisha heard Adam’s words, she didn’t refute his plan since she also knew that even if Adam had two top conglomerates backing him, it still wasn’t enough to deal with the UH Foundation whose water was too deep.Th
It has been a week since Krisha became Adam’s subordinate. At that time, Amelia already obtained permission from her father to live with Adam.Not only was it due to the danger of the UH Foundation, but Amelia also wanted to live with Adam since living on her own was too boring. Furthermore, Adam’s mansion was quite big and it had several rooms so Amelia got the room adjacent to Adam’s.Adam didn’t mind Amelia’s request to live with him and he was even delighted with it. Not only could he protect Amelia and ensure her safety, but he could also act more intimately with Amelia every day of the week.Of course, Adam didn’t know that Amelia’s true intention of living with him was to prevent Krisha from seducing him. After all, Krisha was also a beautiful girl and Amelia felt threatened by her existence especially when she became Adam’s subordinate and could live in the same mansion as him.Although Krisha spent most of her time cooped up in her laboratory that was recently built undergrou
Hearing the question from the chairman of Zeria, Adam was about to reply, but he heard a notification sound in his mind which halted his words.-Ding![Talent achievement task triggered.][Achievement condition: Negotiate with the chairman of Zeria and obtain 10% more shares from the chairman of Zeria, eventually replacing the chairman of Zeria and becoming the new chairman.][Awarded talent: Ultimate Businessman]Adam had already grown accustomed to the sudden appearance of system screens so he had also developed the skill to read the text displayed on the system screen as fast as possible.To give himself more time, Adam activated his bullet time skill just to increase his perception of time.That gave Adam enough time to read the contents of the system screen and knowing that it was about another talent achievement task, he was overjoyed!As for the talent achievement task forcing him to take 10% shares from the chairman of Zeria, Adam didn’t care much about it.After all, he didn’
Unlike most conglomerates in Japan and Korea which were called Zaibutsus and Chaebols respectively, the conglomerates in America were mostly public conglomerates.At least, the Zeria was such a public conglomerate and because of that, it wasn’t expected for the chairman to hoard the position for his family.Well, the shareholders wouldn’t mind it if it's someone from the chairman’s family line again if the successor was competent such as what happened in the Savannah Conglomerate.The shareholders such as the fourth shareholder knew of the notoriety of the granddaughter of the chairman. Surprisingly, in the family line of the chairman, only the chairman was excellent at business yet even the chairman’s sons and daughters weren’t suited to become chairman.The fact that the chairman chose her granddaughter meant that she was the best option he had yet that granddaughter of his was barely capable of leading Zeria.At least, they knew that if the granddaughter of the chairman became the
After saying his introduction, the chairman spoke again, “I am already getting old. Someone needed to inherit Zeria before I die so I have decided that my granddaughter will inherit the chairman position for Zeria.”“Do any of you disagree or not?”Although the chairman possessed 51% shares of the conglomerate and had voting rights in his shares, there were still some restrictions imposed on him as the majority shareholder.At least, his decision could be waived if at least 45% of the voting shares were used to go against his opinion. However, that restriction would only work on crucial decisions that would change the company as a whole and such a situation was one right now.After all, the change of chairman in the company would mean that the company would change as a whole. If the chairman that had inherited the former chairman’s shares was an incompetent person, then the value of the company would lower and the company would be ruined in that person’s hands.As if everyone had come
When the pair of old men and a young woman entered the meeting room, Adam noticed that the rest of the members in the meeting room seemed to have become more serious.‘Judging from the expressions of those shareholders, that old man should be the biggest shareholder in Zeria, aka the chairman of Zeria.’‘As for that woman, she is either the chairman’s secretary or she a relative of that old man?’When Adam thought of the latter, he felt that he seemed to have guessed the reason for holding the shareholders’ meeting.Of course, that was assuming the shareholders’ meeting wasn’t held to reprimand him for his absence from the conglomerate.The old man sat on the chair while the young woman stood behind him at the side.From the sitting position, Adam was sitting near the old man and the young kid from before. Their sitting position was nearest to each other as they both held the highest shares in Zeria compared to the rest of the shareholders.The old man has white hair due to old age as
Adam saw some middle-aged men and even old men come out of their luxury cars. But the one that attracted his attention the most was a young kid who seemed to be a ten-year-old.But even that kid was accompanied by a neatly dressed butler as well as several bodyguards.‘That kid must be the son of a big shot. Or he is probably one of the shareholders in Zeria and his shares must have been inherited from his father or grandfather.’When Adam thought of that, he didn’t care much since he was confident that all of them were human and he could easily kill them with just a bullet.He could even deal with hundreds of well-trained and well-armed bodyguards let alone just a bunch of them. His background and money might not be the greatest, but Adam was very confident in his combat skills so he didn’t have anything to worry about.He could even defeat Ultimate Humans who were said to be the pinnacle of human limit let alone normal humans like them.With that confidence in mind, Adam entered the
Spending his time in his underground laboratory, Adam barely had any breakthroughs in his research for the recipe for the beautification pill. However, it had only been several hours since he started and he knew that such a difficult task couldn’t be completed in just a day.But since it was already his bedtime and he had to deal with the shareholders’ meeting in Zeria tomorrow, Adam decided to end his research and continue after he was free. Anyway, he wasn’t desperate to create the beautification pill and he had plenty of time to create it.With that in mind, Adam went to his room and slept.When several hours had passed and it was already morning, Adam woke up on his bed and did his daily morning routine. Having remembered his crucial attendance at the shareholders’ meeting as it might possibly decide his future in Zeria, Adam immediately dressed up for the occasion as he wore a business suit.After finishing his preparations, Adam who didn’t want his suit to be dirtied immediately
“Boss, I apologize. The chairman of Zeria didn’t say anything about the reason for the shareholders' meeting. The chairman only said that attendance is obligatory.”Hearing that even his subordinate didn’t know anything about it, Adam could only sigh and wish that the reason wasn’t about himself. Otherwise, he would be forced to use his justice fist to control the chairman of Zeria so that he could take over Zeria.After all, he needed Zeria’s backing if he wanted to have the background to go against the military and government as well as support his father-in-law.Knowing that his subordinate couldn’t offer any more useful information, Adam only sighed and said, “Just keep an eye out for any suspicious actions in Zeria. Report to me if there is. Also, when will the shareholders’ meeting be held?”Hearing his boss’ question, Adam’s subordinate replied, “It will be held tomorrow at one in the afternoon. The meeting’s location will be in Zeria’s main headquarters on the top floor.”Afte
When Adam heard the report from his subordinate, he became curious about why Zeria had held a shareholders' meeting.“Did you inquire about the reason for the shareholders meeting held by the chairman of Zeria?”Adam was so busy dealing with the military and the UH Foundation that he barely had any time to even hold a public conference and announce his ownership of the second-biggest share in Zeria.After all, Adam was the second biggest shareholder of Zeria and he still had yet to officially announce his ownership of the second biggest shares. Although it was already transferred under his name, Zeria was a public conglomerate after all and they would hold a press conference whenever a new shareholder took place.It was for the sake of credibility and fanfare. Zeria made themselves known to the public because of that.So, Adam was already contacted by the chairman of Zeria regarding his upcoming press conference long before and Adam had put that on hold due to how busy he was. It was
“Yeah, yeah, I don’t care about those. I better get my end of the deal after I finish a few more missions.”Although Adam didn’t care about it, he still had to act as if he cared about it so that the military wouldn’t be suspicious that he had other motives for helping them.When Trevor heard Adam’s words, he nodded his head, “I will tell that to my higher-ups.”Receiving Trevor’s reply, Adam knew that Trevor was only a sergeant and he didn’t have much power in the military compared to those generals. Trevor was only doing his job so Adam didn’t blame him for it.“Are there any missions or not?”Knowing that the missions of the military had a high chance of triggering a talent achievement task, Adam asked Trevor about it out of curiosity.In response, he saw Trevor shook his head and answered, “As for now, there aren’t any missions related to the Ultimate Humans or the UH Foundation.”After receiving Trevor’s response, Adam didn’t bother about it anymore and left the military camp but
