"I can agree to fight you and it will be fun, but if you win, your offence towards and the country by trespassing will be gone. What about if you lose?" the giant man asked.
"Yes, you are right, we should both receive so sort of reward and put sothing on the line. How about this? If I lose, I will work for you for the rest of my life, while if you lose, you need to make sure I have complete freedom within the country," suggested Adam.
The offer was great and if he could get Adam as his subordinate, he could rise up the rankings, since Adam was skilled and quickly developing.
But the truth was he couldn't guarantee that he could provide what Adam wanted, and he was honest about it.
"If you truly want to have complete freedom within the country, we will need an even more senior and powerful figure to referee and observe our match. He also has to agree to your request, otherwise, I cannot offer you much,"
Adam was glad that he admitted that and other than his figure, the giant man's character reminded him of Chase's.
"Call whoever you want to watch the match and referee, just ensure that it is fair and we both receive our reward if we win," stated Adam.
The giant man before him was the type to never go against his word and was clearly very honest.
He was soone that fought with honour and wouldn't use any underhanded tactics, which Adam was planning on using against him in his duel, but also allowed him to trust that he would do as he promised.
"Alright then, I will try to get this arranged. In the anti, I will provide you with a room to rest and stay in, but I must enforce the rules. You are not allowed to leave that room without permission and if you need anything, just request it and I will get soone to bring it to you,"
Adam agreed and his conditions were quite reasonable and understandable considering the secrets that they must have and his duty to run and protect the base.
The giant man was impressed by a few things and had never felt such a strong desire to battle soone in a while.
He sought a challenge and was starting to get old, but for the first ti in a while, felt as though he might be able to feel the thrill and adrenaline rush he felt as a youth.
Adam was able to free himself from the cuffs, was completely confident in himself, while was also a good judge of character and by trusting the giant man to uphold his word, he was showing that he would do the sa.
He was exactly the type of person that the giant man liked, which was completely against what the soldiers had previously expected, and when they were recalled to his office, they were shocked to see him smiling.
The giant man would usually be moody and smoking on a cigar, but he had a small smile on his face and instructed them to escort Adam to the best resting room that they had.
They were already surprised that they didn't hear any fighting or shouting, and were even more shocked to find that the giant man seed to be accommodating to Adam.
"Bring him anything he needs and requests as long as it is within your power and doesn't go against the rules of the base, but also make sure he doesn't leave the room he is designated"
With their instructions, they were ready to escort Adam to where he would await the giant man's confirmation of their duel.
"See you later old man. Try not to hurt yourself before I beat you up," said Adam as he got up and called for Rex to follow after him.
The giant man laughed while the soldiers were baffled by how casual and confrontational their words were to each other, and yet no conflict seed to be sparked between them.
Adam followed the escorts and entered the room he was given that was spacious and had all the things he would need to sit back and relax, while he could also play with Rex for a while.
The cute dog that was also loyal and seed to have co across his aunt was eager to play with Adam, but the gas that Adam had in mind were not gas that one could play with their ordinary dogs.
"Bring as much dog food as you can and also the biggest bowl you can find. Also, do not enter the room without knocking first, otherwise, you might get hurt," instructed Adam to the soldiers that had escorted him before closing the door on them.
They were peak Advanced Cultivators that had previously captured Adam as a trespasser, and yet know they seed to have beco his servants and had no choice but to obey.
Without wasting any ti, they began doing what Adam had told them to, while two of them stayed at the door to make sure he couldn't leave.
Adam was within a room created from the sa material that dampened his spiritual sense and was almost impossible to break through, so they weren't worried about him being able to get out other than through the door.
While Adam was also unsure whether the material would affect or block his Soul Form, but he wasn't planning on trying and knew that in the base, there was likely to be many defences against souls.
He had no reason to try to leave the room and the giant man that ran the base seed reasonable, while in the ti he had before sparing with him, he wanted to test what Rex was capable of.
"Listen Rex.. Try your best to hit with your paws and if you manage to do it, I will reward you. You can do anything you can to do it and this is our extre version of tag,"
