Amy who came along with Adam immediately glanced towards the young man.
"Of the five invited guests to City D, City C Branch and City E came in the earliest. After some time, the G City Branch came.
Since you guys are Branch City B coming, then we should just wait for the people from Branch City F."
City G ...
At the thought of that, Adam looked towards the four figures wearing traditional clothes. Although the color and shape were different, it was still quite similar to Lei Fan and Lei Na's.
Looking at the figure of a middle-aged man, a man and a woman the same age as himself, as well as a girl who is about still in the age of Junior High School child.
"As you might expect, they are also Cultivators." Amy said casually.
"So so ..."
Adam nodded lightly. Looking around, he felt a bit envious. This spacious 58th floor was really only part of the wealth of the D City Branch. Which is arguably so outrageous when compared to Branch City B.
"Should I take you around to get used to it? Or do you want to rest?
If you want to rest, you are free to choose any place on this floor. We also do not forbid you from interacting with the other Branch City."
"Then we will rest while waiting for the people from Branch City F to come."
Hearing Adam's words, Amy was a bit surprised. But he still nodded professionally.
"Good."
After that, Adam and his colleagues chose to sit on the sofa at the edge, where they could see the city view from behind a layer of glass.
On passing the two groups, Adam and the others also nodded as formal greetings. Like the group from City B, it seemed that the others did not want to interfere too much either. Really take care of each other's business.
Adam sat down on the sofa and closed his eyes. Sensing the energy around being quite dense, the young man slightly nodded.
It seemed not only in a place filled with natural vitality. But even in high places .. it turned out to be quite a lot of Qi energy.
It's just ... is it more of an air type?
Thinking that, Adam involuntarily nodded. At that moment, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching. When he opened his eyes, the young man saw several people who had come together to approach him.
They were led by men about 28 years old. He has a body like a bodybuilder. The man's golden hair was cut so neatly.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Adam still asked in a pretty polite tone. At least, he thinks directly.
"I've heard your name many times, Mr. Owl. You are absolutely amazing.
Introduce, my name is Rocky, owner of skin hardening ability. Turn it into similar or even the same as a stone."
Still calm, Adam shook Rocky's outstretched hand and replied in a calm tone.
"Owl, Cultivator."
Hearing Adam's brief introduction made the people who heard him feel new. Rocky himself seemed to have no objection.
"Sit down." Adam welcomes. "Is there anything you need to talk to me about, Mr Rocky?"
Sitting on the sofa opposite Adam, Rocky nodded. Taking a deep breath, the man then said in a serious tone.
"I'll talk without further ado, Mr. Owl. Did you ... actually get a different contract from the rest of the Department of Mysteries personnel?"
"..."
The question immediately made the listeners surprised. To discuss a matter concerning such a thing .. could be considered very disrespectful.
At first, Adam frowned. But when he saw Rocky's serious expression, he knew the question had nothing to do with insults or anything like that.
Adam himself knew that the contract he signed would sooner or later be known to the rest of the Mystery Department, drawing envy from them.
"Indeed." Adam nodded.
"I hear ... Your monthly wage is several times ours?"
"..."
This ... money problem?
Adam took a long breath. Compared to money matters, he paid more attention and cared about his contract issues that were considered neutral. Where he did cooperate with the Mystery Department, but did not need to follow instructions and could not be arranged.
Looking towards Rocky who was looking at him with a hopeful expression, Adam once again nodded.
"Indeed. You're not wrong at all."
"Then ... can you say why you can get a better contract than us?"
"Isn't that discussed? It seems to be due to individual rank.
As we know, there are ranks AA, A, B, and C. Other than because of the strength of the individual, the contract was most likely made based on the direction of his future development."
"So so ..."
Hearing Adam's reply, Rocky nodded. He looked at the figure of the red masked man with a serious expression.
"If so .. please accept my challenge, Mr Owl!"
Rocky's words immediately made the people there to be surprised and feel strange. Even Adam himself tilted his head with a puzzled expression.
"Why are you challenging me to fight? And why should I take it?"
"Because by beating you, maybe the people at the top will think that I deserve more than this."
Adam who heard that shook his head.
"We're in a meeting, there's no need for a fight or anything."
Hearing Adam's words, Rocky seemed hesitant. Looking towards the red-masked young man who was sitting quietly, he couldn't help but ask.
"Is ... you afraid, Mr Owl?"
Adam who heard that was not at all like a provoked child and directly attacked impulsively. Instead, he shook his head. I don't care much about the provocation.
"I—"
"It looks interesting! Let's do that!"
Before Adam answered, a male voice interrupted him.
Everyone looked at the source of the voice. It turned out to be a 24 or 25-year-old male figure who had just stepped out of the elevator.
He seemed to be an Asian man who had a tall and somewhat slender posture. It has white skin and unnatural blonde hair that is combed backwards. Wearing dark blue suits, watches and gold necklaces. At a glance, it was clearly branded goods at high prices.
When he appears, seven others follow him. Six of them looked so calm and kind, while the other was a woman who had a sullen expression on her face.
Seeing the girl's expression, Amy immediately looked annoyed.
"What happened to you, Beth?"
The girl who walked along with the group of seven was Bethany, a member of team 1 of the City D branch's Mystery Department. She is also a close friend of Amy's.
Amy then looked at the man leading the group.
"Chairman of the City F branch of the Mystery Department, Nathan Frazier."
Amy gritted her teeth. He then looked towards Bethany then spoke with a softer expression.
"Come, Beth. I told you picking up this little b-ass isn't a good thing at all. After all ... who would care if he would come or not?"
"You're still so cold, Amy." The man named Nathan grinned.
Amy walked up to the man. When his right hand clenched tightly, a black layer with a metallic-like luster enveloped his entire arm.
Without a word, Amy immediately swung her fist at Nathan's face.
A BANG!
A loud bang is heard. A layer of semi-transparent blue barrier (protector) appeared around Nathan. Really stopped Amy's fist.
Looking at the dissatisfied Amy, Nathan smiled.
"You really look funny when you're angry, Amy."
Adam who looked towards Nathan and Amy narrowed his eyes.
The strength of the attack and defense was .. not bad either.
