Chapter 51 First Ring (Part 2) "Well, well, my boy is going to be an adult today, isn't he?" Leona smirked, wiggling her foot and looking intently at Adam. Adam scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. He hadn't told his parents about this, but it had taken his mother a few minutes to realize from the glint in his eyes and the dreamy look on his face. However, Leona was wrong about something. The main reason for Adam's excitement wasn't the date with Jena, although that was a big part of it, but the fact that tonight he'd be at the First Ring. It was a place he had wanted to go to for a long time, because the wealthiest and most powerful people lived there, as well as many Phantoms. In fact, if he wanted to, Adam could already afford to live in First Ring, if he didn't have to take care of his family financially. However, Adam had no regrets, he knew that if one day he reached Damien's level, money would no longer matter. ... At the same time, in another house, a similar conversation was going on between two girls. One of them looked like she was sending her daughter off to get married, even though they were a similar age. "Fine, that's not bad. If Adam was honest about his preferences, he'll appreciate your butt." Silvana said confidently, looking at Jena, getting ready for her date. Hours later, she finally picked out a suitable outfit, there was a whole mountain of different clothes around. "Are you sure...? Don't you think it's too casual?" Jena muttered, looking around herself. She was wearing evening clothes, a black blouse with long sleeves and open shoulders, neat sapphire earrings, and skinny jeans that emphasized her curves. Silvana shook her head. "Don't worry. Adam won't be in a suit, I've taken care of that. One of you Phantom, so you don't need to try and impress the public, you need to seduce Adam, isn't that what you want?" Silvana narrowed her eyes, her sharp gaze making Jena flinch. "Of course I want to! Damn! When I saw his fight against Brass Puppet I almost exploded with excitement... Agh... When he ripped his heart out... it was incredible." Jena muttered as her cheeks flushed, and a slightly crazy smile appeared. Silvana nodded, walked over to Jena, and pulled something out of her pocket. It was a palm-sized rectangular package, completely black, with only - 0.01 written on it. Jena's eyes went wide as her face turned tomato red. The door opened, as out stepped a middle-aged woman, some of her hair was gray and her face was covered with wrinkles. "See you later, I hope I'll be back soon..." The woman muttered as she said goodbye to the salesman and looked sadly at the ground, not noticing anyone. Bam. She crashed into Adam, and if it was a light jolt for him, the woman fell to the ground as if she had collided with an iron wall. "Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't see you there!" Adam quickly responded by extending his hand. However, the woman was in no hurry to get up. As soon as she saw Adam her eyes went wide, filled with bitterness, and began to water as if in anticipation of crying. "You... It was you..." The woman muttered, "You got my daughter killed!" Adam threw a shiver. He had expected anything but a murder accusation from a mere woman. "Wait, there must be some mistake!" Before, Adam could say anything, the woman showed some pictures of the girl on her phone. It took Adam a few seconds to realize who it was - Pamela, she and her squad were on a mission when Adam was fighting Brass Puppet. All members of the squad, including Pamela were killed by Brass Puppet. At the same moment, Adam's look changed, but it wasn't remorse or guilt. His eyes grew colder, and Adam withdrew his hand, no longer offering the woman help. "You can think what you want, but they were given a command to get out of there. That they stayed there is entirely their fault and their decision. Dead Lands is a dangerous place, I'm not crazy to specifically attack other Phantoms. There are more than enough monsters to kill us." Adam said coldly, confidently heading towards Amber Ocean. Silvana had given him all the information about the squad as well as their conversations. Adam didn't blame them for being overconfident, it was their decision, but that was why no one had the right to blame him for their deaths. The woman didn't know how to react, she didn't know what reaction she expected, but surely not that Adam would reprimand her. She ended up just crying, for another time these past few days. She hardly had any tears left to shed for her grief.
