Novel Bin Chapter 476 - You May Begin
Adam knew better than to judge off of appearances and didn\'t show disrespect towards the man, but also didn\'t submit to him and responded clearly, confidently and directly.
"The dog\'s name is Rex, and it\'s just a dog beast. I am sure you have seen many of them and it is nothing special" answered Adam, not wanting to reveal too much about Rex and end up admitting that he had taken it from the Secret Lab that he had trespassed on.
"Is that so?" he said as he stroked the long hairs that protruded out of his chin.
"Where did you come across this beast as the way it is mutated and appears to be, seems to have something to do with an experiment that I know of?"
"Well, I came across him a while ago in another country and I don\'t know much about it, but it is my pet and that is all I need to know," answered Adam.
"Is that so?" he repeated as he continued making the same action.
"Even if that is the case, let me tell you something about that dog beast. It seems to be a successful experiment of ours that we don\'t know about and the only one of its kind. I am unsure how exactly it came into your possession, but I must warn you, that if it truly is a success, then it is a monster that you should be wary of,"
"I reassure you, I can take care of it and whether it was an experiment or not, it is now my pet, and I will handle it,"
"Is that so?"
"Just to let you know for future reference, it is a beast that was produced with the intent of creating the ultimate weapon in the form of a beast. It is an unrestrainable monster that grows stronger by consuming the flesh and bodies of others, and to be honest, it was only a concept and a failed experiment. The thing hiding behind you is both a miracle and a curse, and how far it can develop into the weapon that we envisioned is unknown, but since it is so attached to you, it is best that it stays with you,"
"It is probably failed as what we envisioned is impossible to produce, but you on the other hand are one great specimen," he said, as he continued poking at Adam\'s body.
Sitting comfortably, Adam allowed the old man to ramble on to himself and do as he pleased.
Adam felt as though he was in a hospital being checked up by a doctor, because of how much the weird man was observing and prodding at his body, until he finally snapped.
"Can we get straight to business? Can you or can you not act as the judge, referee and oversee of our battle? And can you guarantee my freedom within this country if I win,"
Adam spoke sternly and directly, shocking the giant man who despite his size, acted like a frightened child while around the unusual old man before them.
"Alright. If you are so desperate to begin, then we shall do so," he said as he began to chuckle to himself.
"You want to duel Marco who is not only at a higher cultivation level than you, but is also more influential, powerful and experienced than you?"
"Yes,"
"And on the line, you are willing to work for him for the rest of your life if you lose, while if you win, you want complete freedom within the country and want the army to not get in your way,"
"Yes,"
"I can agree to the terms and I am capable of making what you want to happen if you win, but I have another condition. If you are to lose, that little dog will also join under the army and you will both become at our complete disposal."
"Yes, I can agree to that only if the match is fair and you allow me to add something else,"
"What?"
"If I win, not only do I get complete freedom in this country, but Marco will also work under me and will no longer be affiliated with the Russian Army,"
Marco was shocked by Adam\'s addition, but in all honesty, didn\'t have an issue with it.
Seeing that, the crooked old man agreed to Adam\'s terms, and they began heading to an empty area in which they could fight without ending to worry about hurting or revealing cultivation to others.
Adam was quite sure that the giant man wouldn\'t do anything underhanded and was confident that he could defeat him, however, he couldn\'t say the same for the old man.
Such a powerful, cruel and unusual figure couldn\'t be trusted, so Adam was wary of him and prepared himself for anything underhanded that he may have in store to make him lose the duel.
"So this giant man is Marco, but I am yet to know your name," said Adam.
"I am Milo, famed for my research and experiments that have had many breakthroughs and were involved in the creation of that monster behind you," he answered.
Adam remembered that name and if he did try anything, it would be something that he would use to find him and end his life, while he also used it for some extra security.
They drove for a short while longer and they all sat in an awkward, tense and silent environment until they reached their destination, which was a deserted area that would allow them to fight to their heart\'s content.
The reason it was deserted was because it was so cold that it would be almost impossible to live there, and only because they were cultivators could they handle such harsh environments with ease.
Adam stood 20 metres away from Marco and they were both ready and eager to begin their duel, while Milo stood to the side and was the one that was refereeing the match.
"You may begin," he declared.
As soon as he did, Adam and Marco burst towards each other.
