Adam did not carry weapons, while he could see that many of those around the gang headquarters were armed with melee weapons.
Fortunately he saw none of them were holding weapons, but he saw some of them with guns tucked in their pants.
But their weapons did not scare Adam, and Adam knew that the most important thing was the weapon user and not the weapon itself after training with his master.
He also knew that the plotters would not be foolish enough to start firing shots, otherwise the police had no choice but to show up, even if they avoided poorer areas.
Silently approaching their headquarters, Adam moved among the trees that were near the building blocks, hiding behind them, similar to the one he did on the 0th Floor.
They didn't seem to realize it yet, and Adam continued to slowly approach and approach the first guard he wanted to get rid of first.
The base was superbly guarded and Adam inevitably thought there was something important or valuable inside the building that he might be able to obtain for himself.
As soon as there were no more trees to hide behind, Adam ran at full speed and pounced towards the guard as he launched a quick kick into the man's neck, instantly knocking him unconscious.
Adam is not worried about killing gang members, but he tries not to do so and knows that they will all be valuable assets for Elizabeth, who wants to develop her organization.
Holding the body of the guard before touching the ground and damaging himself, while also making a noise that would cause a commotion, Adam placed it on the ground and leaned it against the wall of the building.
[One fell, too many more] Adam thought to himself.
He didn't want to take them all down and wanted to avoid direct combat as much as possible, but it was the only way for him to reach the top, where he assumes he will find the leader who benefits Elizabeth the most and can also control his gang to submit to Elizabeth.
If he told the leader and caused a commotion, he was worried that they would flee or arm themselves and prepare, making it difficult for him to take them down if they were unwilling to submit willingly.
Around the corner was another guard, and before he could react or warn the others, Adam dropped him.
Clenching tightly his arms around his neck, Adam did not release his grip until he felt the body of the guard relax, signaling that he was losing consciousness.
Looking at the balcony on the second floor, it would be a better way to get up and into the building, rather than finding the entrance and climbing the stairs.
Jumping was no feat for Adam, who had more than twice the physical strength of an average human, and he jumped up and grabbed onto the balcony ledge on the second floor.
Pulling himself up, he peered inside, what was supposed to be a flat, to find something much different.
Owning an entire building, the gang has been made into a headquarters and a place where they can relax and do what they want.
He saw half-eaten food, games, drugs and trash everywhere.
It was a disgusting sight and everything fell apart, but Adam did not care about it and he knew it was only a matter of time before the unconscious bodies of the two guards he had taken out were found.
Fortunately there was no one inside and Adam walked past the flat and went through the front door.
The corridor was filled with gang members, and the base was almost impossible to enter without being seen.
[I had no choice] Adam thought to himself as he exited the flat and headed for the stairs.
Before the thugs who saw him could react, Adam had already dashed towards the stairs at full speed and started climbing them quickly towards the top of the building.
"Get him before he reaches the boss who is training and doesn't want to be bothered" shouted the thugs as they chased Adam and began warning the others at their headquarters.
He had reached the fourth floor and there was only one floor left until he reached the top, but waiting for him on the stairs were 7 armed guards who were all wary of his presence.
From the aura around them, Adam was able to read that they were all rank 1 cultivators, but he could tell that they did not meet the system standards and had strength below what they should have in their ranks.
Adam was not intimidated by their power, but the weapon they held was what made him wary.
They all held bladed weapons and guarded the upper floors safely, reinforcing Adam's thought that they were a treasure trove for the gang leader.
[Luckily they have no weapons, but even if they are weaker than me, there are 7 of them and they are all armed with sharp weapons] Adam thought inwardly while analyzing his choices.
In the narrow space they were in, they could only fight one-on-one on the stairs, but if more of their gang came from behind Adam, he would have no way to escape.
His only option was to go ahead and take down whoever was blocking his way, before someone else could climb the stairs to where they were and attack him from behind.
The first rank 1 guard attacked Adam and attacked with his short sword-like weapon, which Adam avoided.
While the rank 1 slashed towards Adam, Adam dodged and pulled the man's wrist down as hard as he could, using the momentum of the guard against him and launching him down the stairs, crashing into the wall.
As he pulled the man down the stairs, Adam grabbed his short sword for his own use.
His weight was different from the dagger he used to use, and he felt vulnerable using only one weapon, but he quickly adapted when he was suddenly attacked by one of the other guards.
Blocking the downward attack with his short side, Adam was harmed against the guard who had the height advantage.
But he can also use it to his advantage, as attacking down despite having more strength, is not always advantageous and opens the opponent's body to attack while making them less balanced.
Blocking the attack, Adam quickly slashed the left guard's leg, and as he lost his balance, threw him down the stairs with the other guards.
There were 5 more guards left, and in the narrow space, they could not fight Adam at once, so decided to retreat and regroup with the other members upstairs.
However the main reason they retreated was because they were feared by the aura and presence around Adam that was filled with malice and killing intent.
However, they make a huge mistake that Adam took advantage of and as soon as they turn around, Adam pounces at them like a lion pouncing on its prey and slashes them all in a matter of seconds.
He made sure not to injure them with fatal injuries that would instantly kill them, but he knew it was out of control and he had to get out of there before it was too late.
But Adam's opportunistic nature gets the best out of him, like at the auction house, and he wants to get what the gang guards so tightly that it must be worth it.
[I've come this far, what else do I have to lose) Adam thought inwardly as he continued up the stairs leading to the top floor.
Adam could hear his heart beating fast, not because he was tired or scared, but because his Blood Lust and killing intent were increasing.
[Quiet] Adam said to himself as he took a deep breath and attempted to suppress and control his Bloodlust characteristics.
His desire and desire to kill the guards was extremely high, and the satisfaction that would be given to him would be overwhelming. But Adam fought that urge and disliked killing for no reason, because it would not only weigh a little on his consciousness, but would also cause a bigger commotion with the police, he said, all he knows is trying to figure out who he is. .
After calming his nerves, Adam could hear the sirens in the distance, which were getting closer to his current location and knew that he had to hurry and had no time to waste.
[Now or not at all] he told himself as he sauntered upstairs.
