Stacey, who had just been scolded by Adam, couldn't help but shake as she stumbled backwards and sat in the corner silently, just like he had instructed.
Adam didn't even need to use his killing intent or aura and his presence was enough to completely dominate Stacey, who despite being brave, had no chance with Adam.
Seeping his spiritual sense into the head of the NYPD's body, Adam didn't find any internal energy and his body was very weak and frail.
From the way he looked and the state of his body, Adam would guess that he was in his late sixties, but he would die within the next few days due to organ failure.
Around his organs, Adam could sense a purple mist and he didn't recognise it. At first, he thought that it might be some type of impurities, but impurities merely clog up energy pathways and bloodstreams, making it harder to function.
However, the purple mist was destructive and was eating away at the head of the NYPD's body.
[Ava, this is poison right?] asked Adam within his mind.
{Yes, that is correct} she affirmed.
[Can you tell how long the poison has been within his body?] asked Adam who was curious to find out how effective and deadly the poison was.
{Not long. A few days at most} she answered.
Everything was becoming interesting and it was clear that there was somebody that wanted to take out the head of the NYPD, but Adam didn't have the time or patience to worry about that.
[Is the pill enough to exterminate the poison and heal him] asked Adam who didn't want him to die as he was going to form a useful alliance with him.
{Yes it should be enough, however, the effects won't be instant like with your aunt. The vitality and energy within the pill will strengthen and recover the man's body and organs while fighting the poison, but it will take time and he won't recover for the next few days or even weeks} answered Ava.
Removing his hand from the NYPD head's chest and retracting his spiritual sense, Adam opened the old man's mouth and fed him the brown pill that he had in his hand.
Stacey was too slow to react and even if she could, wouldn't dare to do so after being threatened by Adam, as she watched what was happening from the sideline and hoped for the best.
Adam sat down and watched what was happening with his spiritual sense and could see the medicinal energy spread around the NYPD head's body and begin to heal his organs and strengthen them enough to begin to expel the poison.
After a few seconds, the NYPD head who had fallen asleep from the weakness he felt in his body suddenly got up and coughed up a large curdle of dark red blood and the blood had some purple liquid mixed into it.
[It seems that you have underestimated the NYPD head's body and willpower. He would have made a good cultivator, but it is too late for him. The peak ages are from 18 to 25-40 depending on each individual and their talent] said Adam to Ava.
{Yes, it seems as though I was mistaken. He has already coughed out a large part of the poison and should be able to recover in 2 days} she estimated.
Adam had and his allies had to make the most of their youth and cultivate as much as they could and lay down a strong foundation, as if not, they would find it very hard to progress in the future.
Energy was quite scarce in the city compared to special environments that were dense with energy and their cultivation would halt at a certain point, which Adam didn't have to worry about.
Looking at Stacey who had jumped up and rushed over to the head, Adam was also impressed by her bravery despite being someone that wasn't a cultivator.
"What did you do to him?" she said as she charged towards Adam planning to hit him.
Adam smiled and stood there as he activated his defensive techniques and allowed her to hit him.
Before the NYPD head could stop his granddaughter, she launched a flimsy fist at Adam's chest and with her bad technique and Adam's high resistance, managed to break her wrist.
She let out a shriek of pain as the head of the NYPD who was looking slightly younger and much healthier already managed to get up and get to her side.
"Stacey, are you okay?" he asked as he saw her wrist that clearly hurt and had already become swollen.
Looking at Adam who stood there with a slight smile on his face, the NYPD head couldn't help but think to himself, 'What the hell is this guy made out of?'
"Listen up, I have something to say" stated Adam.
"First of all, you shut up with your crying. You shouldn't have tried to hit me and as you can see, that old man is clearly better, so don't jump to conclusions. Secondly, I need to get this alliance finalised now before I leave" said Adam.
It was clear that Stacey was in the wrong and Adam was doing them a favour, but she couldn't help but feel some hate and anger towards him.
"Could you heal her just like you did with me?" asked the head of the NYPD, who didn't want to see the granddaughter that he had protected and spoilt her entire life be in pain.
Adam shook his head as he answered, "I don't have any more medicine and even if I did, I wouldn't waste it n such a small injury and such a useless individual. They are very valuable and she hurt herself"
His answer was blunt and harsh, but completely true and they had no way to argue.
"I am sure you have a doctor in here that was trying to heal you. Get them to patch up her wrist and it should heal in a few weeks, meanwhile, we can finalise our alliance and sign any contracts that we need to sign"
