Novel Bin Chapter 452 - Storage Bag
Catching up to Nathaniel, Adam walked beside him like an equal.
It angered the Silent Ghost, who followed behind them with his head lowered and showed utmost respect towards Nathaniel, believing that Adam was acting arrogantly.
In the Silent Ghost\'s eyes, it was like an ant trying to walk alongside the elephants as an equal, but Adam was not one to submit to others just because they were more powerful than him.
Even after he surpassed his master in strength, he still showed him respect.
But their relationship was deeper than a master and disciple relationship.
They would joke around with each other and enjoy each other\'s company.
They both felt like something was missing from their life.
Adam never had a senior male figure in his life and saw his master as not only his master but also a father figure that he was deeply indebted to.
While his master had never had the opportunity to have children with his love and never truly felt family love from his family in the ancient lands, so saw Adam as a son that he was nurturing and preparing for the cruel world.
It was that bond that Adam would never forget, and he didn\'t need another master, while he was also unwilling to accept anyone else as his master.
"Just to let you know boy, I was watching your battle this entire time. Despite your grand performance and strong killing intent, you didn\'t kill any soldiers that in this case were innocent and merely following orders. While you also caused minimum damage to the facility and the people you had to strike down or get past,"
"You merely wanted to make your point and kill the one who tried to draw you into a trap, which I like and can respect. You should never allow your pride to be stepped on or your reputation to be tarnished. As a cultivator, we stand above others."
Adam just listened to what Nathaniel had to say as he walked beside him and was unsure where exactly he was leading him, but was quite confident that Nathaniel wasn\'t planning on killing him.
If he truly was going to do so, he would have been able to do so thousands of times over and he also didn\'t benefit anything from doing so.
"You were also prepared to kill this old man that calls himself the Silent Ghost. I sent him to search for you after hearing that you had left your seclusion and wanted him to bring you to me for a meeting, but instead, he got in your way,"
As he said that, they both turned to the old man that was followed behind him and had just nearly been killed by a frightening monster, and was now faced with two of them.
One was his master and the greatest monster he had seen before, while the other was a smaller monster in the making.
"I am sorry, please forgive me, master. I believed it was the right thing to do in order to protect our reputation as the absolute power in this country,"
He didn\'t apologise to Adam and also didn\'t seem very sincere, but everything was beginning to make sense to Adam.
It was clear that at the start of their battle; he was holding back greatly and would only display as much power as Adam did, not wanting to kill or injure him too badly.
However, as it went on, it became more and more heated, while he also struggled against Adam, having no choice but to attempt to take him down and fight for his life.
Nathaniel didn\'t even need to unleash his killing intent or aura that far surpassed that of Adam\'s.
His presence alone was enough to overwhelm the Silent Ghost and also intimidate Adam, but Adam gained nothing from him being punished.
Their battle was interesting, and his intentions were not initially malicious towards Adam, while he also wanted something from him.
"Why don\'t you spare him. He is a loyal and capable subordinate, while I would also prefer for him to be punished differently," suggested Adam.
It wasn\'t his place to speak or intervene, but Nathaniel was intrigued to see what exactly Adam had in mind and the Silent Ghost was grateful to Adam for trying to save him from being punished.
However, when he heard what Adam wanted, he couldn\'t help but wish that it was Nathaniel punishing him instead, while Nathaniel laughed at Adam\'s idea.
"I want whatever Movement Skill you are using and are known for. That way I will forgive you, Nathaniel here will spare you, and we are all satisfied,"
The Ghost Step was his most prized possession skill, and it was that movement skill that allowed him to become as powerful and renowned as he was.
It was something that he had spent dozens of years developing and was unwilling to part with, but with a single glare from Nathanial, he handed over everything he had developed to Adam.
Adam was impressed to see that they had Spacial Treasures that would allow them to store things within a small, private space that they could only access using that treasure.
Since Adam had always had the inventory or didn\'t have a need for one, he never sought out such treasures, but they were impressive and replicated the Inventory Feature.
However, unlike the Inventory Feature, Spacial Treasures could be stolen.
"I will also graciously accept your Storage Bag,"
As he said that, Adam shamelessly grabbed the small bag that the old man had taken the large Skill Manual out of.
Since Nathaniel seemed to be on Adam\'s side and allowed Adam to call him by his first name, while was also very casual with him, the Silent Ghost didn\'t resist and allowed Adam to take it.
Within it was all the treasures, valuables and knowledge that he had been able to gather throughout his entire life, and in an instant, it was all taken by Adam along with his life\'s work.
Adam inconspicuously placed the Spacial Bag within his own inventory, and was excited to sort through all the things that were within it, but before then, he wanted to see what exactly Nathaniel had in store for him.
