Chapter 284: Wrong Room?
"Alright, so what do you need me to do?" Adam asked.
"As expected, I knew you would understand." The Old man laughed.
"Well, doing this will also benefit me in the future." Adam wasn't foolish enough to nod his head and go along with things. It would be foolish to let the chance slip.
"Nice, you keep the future in mind. Remarkable indeed." The old man nodded in acknowledgment, but Adam's face had a stale look.
"Buttering me up with compliments isn't gonna make me accept the task."
"I am not doing it with that in mind. I do think that you are a great man in many regards. That is why I wanted to give you this task." The old man has kept watch on what Adam did in the Universe under his control.
Even though he could have tried, he never breached Adam's private time with the women he had down there. So far, he tried to be a good host and racked up some favors with Adam for this day.
"Can you bring my daughter to meet me?" He saw Adam's atmosphere change when he asked that.
"Do you know what you are asking for?" The old man nodded at the question. This could cause trouble for the two of them in many ways.
Before he became the Administrator the old man lived in the universe he now oversees. But, after dying he got an offer to merge with the System vessel made by the world. Given the chance to watch over his kids and the world even after his death, he accepted that offer in a heartbeat.
"You didn't know that you'd be bound to this place, did you?" Seeing the old man nod with a wry smile Adam sighed. This was why one needs to read the contracts a few times before agreeing to them.
