“Tonight is the high school reunion” he exclaimed

Adam was beginning to realise that time was moving very quickly and was orientated around the Dungeon System, with it becoming his main focus. ​​

However, it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing and he was pleased with his ambitious and determined mindset and was the main reason he was progressing as well as he was.

Adam was now beginning to feel the satisfaction of hard work.

After having a long shower, Adam changed out of his clothes that were now drenched in sweat, then left his room to find that Sarah had left him a large amount of food on the table and was doing paperwork on the kitchen counter.

Adam was feeling slightly awkward after what Sarah had seen him go through but he knew he had to get on with the day and knew that the high school reunion would get her mind off the pain she had seen him in.

“So, are you excited to see Cole and Emma again,” asked Adam calmly, as if nothing had happened previously.

Sarah jumped up abruptly and had an elated expression.

“I completely forgot about it” she screamed in joy.

Sarah had been too focused on developing and forming their company, that she had also forgotten about the high school reunion.

“Do you still want to go” asked Adam who wasn’t bothered either way.

“Of course we are going, I will get all my work done now then we will leave at 5 o’clock sharp” she stated eagerly.

“Okay, I don’t have a problem with that, but I will need to be home by 10” replied Adam nonchalantly as he sat down and began to eat the large breakfast that Sarah had prepared for him.

Sarah was slightly disappointed by the fact that he would leave so early and also found many things about him very abnormal, but all of it was nothing in her eyes compared to what he had done for her at the lowest point in her life.

That fateful day, was the day that Sarah had become so desperate for income that she was entering the night club to look for for a way to get money that she knew she would never be able to return from.

However, Adam, her knight in shining armour, not only rescued her from men who were trying to assault her, but also paid her father’s medical bills and invested in her company.

To Sarah, it was a debt that could never be repaid, but to Adam who had opened his eyes to reality, it was merely a small favour that he didn’t care about being returned whatsoever.

After eating, Adam lay on the sofa and was thinking about what he could do for the next 4 hours before he had to get ready to go to the high school reunion.

Relaxing for a few minutes Adam abruptly jumped up.

“Sarah what is the location of the High School Reunion,” asked Adam.

“China Star Restuarant that is around 20 minutes away” she replied, with her eyes still glued to her work.

Seeing her working so hard, Adam also wanted to get some work done and decided he would research about the area around the restaurant that the reunion was being held in.

He returned to his room, leaving Sarah in the open centre completing her work, and sat at his desk as his computer switched on.

As he began to research he saw that it was a family-owned business, however when he continued looking deeper into it, the biggest shareholder was the Maxwell Family.

[This family own nearly everything in Brooklyn and are everywhere. I must be careful around them next time] thought Adam to himself, knowing that he couldn’t mess with such a powerful family.

He had double the ability or more in every stat compared to an average peak human, however, he knew it still didn’t make him fast enough to dodge a bullet or strong enough to survive a bomb.

So, in a place where such dangerous weapons were common, he was still not safe and the looming threat of the existence of cultivators was another thing that Adam had to take into account.

The only thing he could find publically about the Maxwell Family was that they owned a few large businesses, but he couldn’t find a single bad review or anything negative towards them.

They seemed to have the entirety of Brooklyn wrapped around their finger as they stood above the law and did as they pleased.

The more he was searching, the deeper the hole he was entering with nothing to find about the Maxwell Family that were seemingly everywhere.

“I really need to be careful” he mumbled as a scary thought began to sink in.

“Having and keeping so much power can only be due to being not only financially powerful in this weaponised world but they must also have great strength” he stated to himself.

“They must be cultivators” he guessed.

With that assumption in mind, Adam became slightly nervous and was worried about whether his small fight with their security guard would make them come after him.

After a while, he calmed down and began to search for any sort of martial arts manuals and began to memorise as much fighting techniques that he could fit into his mind.

Instead of worrying about the future, Adam had a very active mindset where if he needed to get something done he would do so straight away without delaying it to a later date.

He decided that he would find any way to increase his strength before anything happens in the future rather than worrying about what the future may hold.

The first martial art that Adam was focusing on was karate and as he continued to research about it and learn its basic stances and techniques through videos.

In the trance of learning, he had completely lost track of time as Sarah waltzed into his room.

“Quickly get ready, its 5:30 and the reunion starts at 6, we can’t be late” she hurriedly stated as she grabbed onto Adam’s arm, rushing him to get changed.

“We have 5 minutes to get ready” she screamed excitedly as she rushed out of Adam’s room and went to get changed.

Seeing Sarah happy, Adam also felt quite joyful as he saw how much he was able to help her and reform himself with the help of the Dungeon System.

Getting up from his chair Adam opened his wardrobe and withdrew the suit that he had bought with Sarah.

Adam wasn’t a fan of suits as he found them uncomfortable and had always been somebody that focused on comfortability when it came to clothing instead of being fashionable, but for this occasion, he decided he would do so for Sarah’s sake.

He tied up his slick black hair into a small ponytail and changed into the 3 piece black suit.

Adam’s black hair and sharp features correlated perfectly with the slim and dark suit he was wearing that highlighted his muscular and chiselled figure, as the red tie accentuated his red eyes that shined bright and caught the eye of any viewer.

Looking in the mirror Adam was pleased by his looks as previously he wasn’t ugly, but had always been scrawny and had never been completely confident in his appearance.

Walking out of his room, Sarah was shocked once again by Adam’s handsome appearance, but Adam was also quite shocked when he saw the white dress Sarah was wearing and her long and flowing brown hair,

Both of them looked at each other quite awkwardly as Sarah began to become slightly embarrassed while, Adam was still calm and seemingly unbothered, until he broke the silence.

“Should we leave”
