Adam initially thought that Angela was very arrogant and spoilt, but in general, she didn't seem too bad to talk to and her attitude was to be expected with her upbringing.
"Angela, why is Wayde so quiet and intimidating," asked Adam, who felt like he was on a first-name basis with Angela.
"You were quite unusual when I saw you in the store that day, and for some reason, you caught my attention, but I had forgotten about that. Now not only have you been able to kill 7 triad members that were all at higher cultivation levels than you, without remorse, but have somehow managed to convince me to make you my friend. You have also managed to make me believe that you are special. I wonder why that is and you are the first person that isn't related to me or stronger than me to call me by my first name" stated Angela.
She didn't feel disrespected by Adam calling her by her first name, but felt that it was very unusual, since she would never have allowed anybody to call her by her first name.
Adam looked at her and was amused by her confusion as he smiled to himself.
Her affinity with the Water Element gave her perfect silky skin and her beautiful appearance made Adam feel nervous, but with the use of his Hunter's mind, he was staying calm.
"Are you indirectly asking what makes me special and why you agreed to become friends with me?" asked Adam.
"Yes"
"Well, it's simple. I offer great value and have great future potential, while you can also subconsciously sense that I am not as simple as I seem and will be of great assistance to you, especially in the future" stated Adam, who was confident in what he was capable of, even if he didn't need to rely on his power.
Angela didn't react at all and knew that there was some truth in his words. She had a strong feeling that there was more to him than what meets the eye initially, and he had proven that with his knowledge, intelligence and skill.
He had also been able to charm her using his Charm Skill, which had greatly increased his image within her mind, even if she didn't realise it.
"You haven't answered my questions about Wyade" reminded Adam, who was still very curious about who he was and what he was capable of.
The aura around Wayde was frightening and Adam couldn't help but be intimidated by it, especially since Wyade was keeping a close eye and was wary of Adam.
"He was raised by the Maxwell Family to be my protector and guardian. He is 10 years older than me and for as long as I can remember, he has always been beside me protecting me and doing whatever I tell him to. He is very powerful and talented in cultivation, and is one of the most feared cultivators in New York. You might know him as Wayde the Flame Master" said Angela with a proud expression.
With Wylde as her protector, she had become even more complacent and even though her talent surpassed that of Wayde, she knew that if they were both the same age, she would have no chance against him.
Adam had heard of a Flame Master from the Maxwell Family, but didn't expect that it would be Wayde and once again, everything seemed to work out to benefit him.
His luck had been shown, and he had not only befriended Angela, who was Wayde's Master, but would also be able to attend the Maxwell Family's meeting, which was where he would gather information and gauge the capability of the Maxwell Family.
It was quite a long ride to the centre of Brooklyn and in that time, Angela and Adam continued to bounce questions and had become more comfortable with each other.
Angela's attitude and tone were still quite arrogant, but she spoke to Adam directly and didn't say anything that would offend him, while Adam reciprocated however she acted.
In that time, Adam had found out more about Wayde and Angela, but he had never been given any details on their talent, cultivation level, status or anything else, which left him to believe that Angela was smarter than she let on.
"We have arrived" announced Wyade, before returning to his silent self.
Wayde had heard them speaking about him, but didn't react in the slightest.
Adam was unsure of what he had experienced to make him be that way, but he didn't want to ask about details. However, it was obvious to Adam that he had been through a lot of pain to make him the way he is, especially after looking into his empty eyes.
Despite that, it seemed that Angela didn't care.
Although she had become easier for Adam to deal with, she still had a very conceited viewpoint on life and didn't seem to care about the well being of others around her.
Adam had the Hunter's mind and Bloodlust characteristic that were both influencing his character and the way he acted, but he always valued the life of the innocent and those that were good.
However, it wasn't the time for Adam to talk about their different viewpoints on life and was curious to see what the Maxwell Headquarters were like.
Looking out of the window, Adam was initially shocked, but it made sense to him that the headquarters of the Maxwell Family was the tallest and biggest building in Brooklyn.
It was the Hub building that was in the centre of Brooklyn and 200 metres tall.
With over 50 floors, it could be seen from most areas in Brooklyn, while was also the most expensive building in Brooklyn that was completely owned by the Maxwell Family that owned most other private buildings in Brooklyn.
"The meeting will begin in 10 minutes, we should hurry up," stated Angela, as they prepared to enter the building.
