"Since the business is done, I'll go first."
Adam said in a calm tone. But before the young man left, Clara's father's voice stopped him.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Owl."
"Is there another problem?" ask Adam.
"There's actually something I want to say. This ... is arguably quite important."
Clara's father said with a serious expression. Although he usually acted like a sycophant, the man was indeed quite intelligent. Know when to go forward or back. But this time he had to go forward because this was too important and could not be delayed constantly.
"What's wrong? No need to doubt, you can say it. There are no strangers here."
Hearing Adam's words, Lei Fan and Lei Na looked at each other with smiles on their faces. The two treated Owl's figure with respect and kindness, but had no idea how the other party thought of them.
Hearing that Owl's figure also cares about them, of course both of them feel happy.
Didn't expect the mysterious Owl to have such a good impression of them!
"Actually, yesterday someone came to see Clara and asked where you were."
"Walking Clara?" ask Adam.
"really. The girl wasn't very careful, so it was recorded by the surveillance cameras. So his relationship with the Evil Cultivators was revealed.
The man who came also guessed that you were the perpetrator of the massacre in that abandoned building area."
"What is the police? Or detective?" ask Adam.
"He said nothing, only said that what you did would not be judged legally. The man wants to see you because of something important that I can't talk about.
So .. I don't know. Obviously, the man was from the government. Whether his intentions are good or bad, I don't know."
Hearing Clara's father's words, Adam nodded lightly. No matter whether the other party was from the government or not, what he cared more about was ... was the man an enemy or not?
Shaking lightly, Adam did not want to think about it. He did not want to deal with the complicated matters involved with the government. The young man would rather be free to loose, not have too much weight on his shoulders.
"Thank you for the information."
Adam nodded lightly before leaving.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
At that moment, Clara's room door was knocked.
"Come in" said Clara's father.
After hearing that remark, the door opened and a middle-aged female figure entered into the room. She is a maid at Clara's house.
"The man is back to you, sir."
"..."
Hearing the servant's words, Clara's father looked towards Adam with a bitter smile.
Speaking of Cao Cao, then Cao Cao came?
Adam complained in his heart. According to the young man's guess, there must be surveillance cameras installed around Clara's house. They were deliberately waiting for him to come and soon followed to meet him.
Sighing deeply, Adam then said in an indifferent tone.
"I'm going to see that guy."
...***...
In the living room, two figures sat opposite each other.
One of them is a figure with all black clothes, except scarves and red masks. He is Adam, who people know as the Blood Owl or Crimson Owl.
While on the other hand was a man in his mid-thirties. He was wearing a suit, looking a bit skinny. The man had curly brown hair and and dark green irises.
Between the two of them, there was a table with two black coffees still billowing on it.
The atmosphere was silent because no one spoke at all. The figure of Adam himself leaned back in his chair quietly, while the man on the other side sat firmly. Seems pretty disciplined.
Could it be from the military?
The question came to Adam's mind.
"Include, Mr. Owl .. My name is James Browns. You can call me agent James, or just by name." The man said in a sincere tone.
Meanwhile, Adam was completely dumbfounded. The young man subconsciously almost said rudely. Staring at the middle-aged man who looked quite handsome, the corner of his lips twitched.
This name really ...
Hearing James' question, Adam shook his head lightly.
"Absolutely not."
James was wide-eyed when he heard Adam's cold and indifferent voice. Not because of his tone, but because in a glance.
"Good." James nodded lightly.
"What's up until Agent James looks for me?" ask Adam directly.
"Mr Owl certainly knows, in the world there are many mysterious things that cannot be thought of with logic. As a Cultivator, surely you already know without more explanation.
Lately, more and more anomalies are happening in the world. Because of this, the government finally decided to establish a Department of Mysteries.
The secret department in charge of taking care of this kind of anomaly."
Getting there, James was silent for a while while staring at Adam with a stern expression.
"We want to recruit many talents, especially the Cultivators and people who awaken special abilities. So ...
Mr. Owl, join the Department of Mysteries!"
James looked down respectfully, while Adam was completely stunned in his place.
There is still such a mysterious department in this world? I seem to underestimate everything.
The Cultivators? People with special abilities? Sounds amazing ...
Looking at Owl's silent figure, James continued.
"Don't rush to refuse, Mr. Owl. What the government offers is truly generous.
For anyone with weak special abilities, or even the lowest level Cultivator .. they would be given 10,000 alliance dollars per month.
In addition, the government is very supportive. If there is a case that they settle, the people who are in contact with it will instantly get the corresponding bonus.
Five working days in one week. Eight in the morning until three in the afternoon. Of course ... Accommodation such as food and so on are also provided.
There's a lot more. But I cannot explain in detail, for some are secrets."
So rich?
Adam was feeling strange again. Don't think 10,000 dollars a month is a little. Jennifer's salary per year (without bonus) is likely less than 100,000 alliance dollars.
"Let me think about it .." murmured Adam.
"If you join us, your criminal record as well as your data as a fugitive will be deleted."
James immediately added oil to the fire, making it even harder for Adam to resist.
"Do you have any notes about me?" ask Adam.
Not immediately answering, James opened the suitcase he was carrying and took out a paper and some photos.
Book: Blood Owl
Rank : A+
Age : ???
Gender : Male
Special ability: A sword technique coupled with incredible speed, disappearing/concealment, ???
Note :
The figure that appeared suddenly in City B. Assist police officers to resolve 'Crazy' cases in City B for no apparent reason. Allegedly because he hunts for the strange creature the cause of the mentioned case and has a special grudge with the mastermind behind the case.
Killing dozens of people with incredible speed, being able to dodge or fend off bullets, and being unforgiving.
VERY DANGEROUS!
Looking at the notes about himself and some blurry photos, Adam heaved a sigh of relief. The young man was delighted that his identity was unknown. But the young man was also quite surprised.
Those people ... were able to deduce my ability with just the hint of the former battle?
I still seem to underestimate them.
