While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

Chapter 454 - Favour



"Well, this is the beginning of our friendship and when your faction is powerful enough, I am willing to become allied with you and your faction since our goals are aligned. For now, our relation will be one that is informal and I would like to ask for a favour from you,"

"I am willing to do you a favour, but I do not think our goals are aligned,"

"I am assuming your organisation has been in power and was founded centuries ago. It is probably still under their control and they control everything in the world. They..." 

"You shouldn\'t mention those people in such a casual manner. You..." interrupted the Silent Ghost, before being shut down by Nathaniel who glared at him.

Remembering that it wasn\'t his place to speak, and that his life was dangling on a thin thread, he moved away from them and allowed them to speak freely.

Nathaniel was known for his short temper and ruthlessness even with his own subordinates, which was why it was so unusual to see him acting friendly and casual with Adam.

However, the Silent Ghost knew what was best for himself and didn\'t dare make a single sound while they spoke.

"Please continue what you are saying,"

"Saying it bluntly, my goal is to dethrone the ancients"

If anyone else heard Adam\'s words they would think he was insane or seeking suicide, and that truly was his goal.

He stated it so directly and nonchalantly to see how they would react and the Silent Ghost was shocked and amazed by Adam\'s words, while Nathaniel\'s expression didn\'t change much.

His smile merely grew and his eyes lit up, seemingly even more interested in Adam.

"Even myself, as a cultivator much more powerful, capable and experienced than yourself, have to be wary, careful and respectful when dealing with them. And even then, I am only dealing and communicating with their subordinates," 

"Almost all cultivators that are controlled by them, including me, have no idea where they are based. All we know is that they secretly rule the world and control people like myself, the one\'s that secretly control every country,"

"You can think of them as the puppeteers of the puppeteers and you shouldn\'t mess with them as you are now. If you caught my eye, you are likely to have caught theirs and if they hear your intentions, you would be crushed within an instant,"

"I am weaker than their subordinates, so their leaders must have enough power to destroy entire cities with single attacks. I would suggest for you to find a new goal, as that is one that you won\'t be able to achieve in a single lifetime,"

Hearing that, Adam smiled and wasn\'t intimidated by what he said in the slightest since he already knew those things and much more.

"If you fear them and are weaker than their lowly subordinates, that is your own issue. As for me, I do not give up on goals and fear no one. While I also wouldn\'t feel restricted by them as they are just as restricted as we are," 

Adam had a calm expression on his face and a slight smile, matching Nathaniel\'s expression as they both sat opposite each other and stared into each other\'s eyes.

"I see no fear in your eyes and you are likely aiming for the same thing as myself. But I also see no life or emotion in your eyes, making you even more dangerous and hard to read than I previously believed," stated Adam.

"Well, what I see in your eyes is ambition, anger and helplessness. Your thirst for power is like no other, while you also feel confined in this world that you consider small and have experienced and seen things that make everything else feel insignificant and normal,"

Both of them stared at each other for an entire minute, before Adam broke the silence.

In that minute, both of them had managed to gauge a lot about the other and both felt mutual interest, but also felt danger coming from the other.

There were too many unknowns and secrets that each of them had, while they could also both tell that they were feeling and thinking the same things.

"Since we are on the same page, we can forget about that stuff, since as of right now, I can admit I am still too weak. What exactly is the favour that you want from me?"

"My request is simple. I am very busy and have many responsibilities, and I came here to scout you and this favour will be a good way to secure our friendship. I need you to work with this old man and hunt and kill all those that were involved in the destruction and raiding of one of our bases. It was done by members of the Blood Moon Group and there were dozens of high level Advanced Cultivators and low level master Cultivators. However, they weren\'t the issue, as although they were capable, they were nothing compared to the three high level Master Cultivators that were leading them,"

"This was the first request that I received from them, which shows me that it is serious and they are likely and a conflict between the Blood Moon Group and the ancients is likely," he added.

Adam\'s expression didn\'t change, but in the back of his mind, he could tell that there was more to it than what he said.

He was also sure that a large scale conflict between the Blood Moon Group and the ancients was impossible since the ancients were preoccupied with their battles in the Mortal Intersection, while the Blood Moon Group were unlikely to come into the open for an open war.

Despite Adam feeling as though there was more to the request than what met the eye, since Nathaniel himself could find and eliminate them all himself in less time than it took to meet with him, he still accepted it.

He wanted to weaken the Blood Moon Group as much as he could, while it was also a good chance to get some information from them and get something from Nathaniel.
