Chapter 177: Chapter 177 - A Demonstration
"Are you joking with me?"
"You're telling me that you would buy the Sword of Broken Destiny."
"The same sword which costs 25 Billion Dollars?"
Adam gave a snickering laugh as he continued, "Don't f*ck with me like that kid. I already am having a rough week and don't need to be tricked by a kid like you over something so sensitive."
Adam said that and opened the door to the restaurant.
"So you're saying that you chose not to believe me, right?"
"Yeah, what else did it sound like."
"So you would rather be in the service of a completely random person than someone like me?"
Hearing his words, Adam stopped to think.
'That would of course be a problem for me but what other choice do I have?'
'The one where I choose some greedy basta*d with the sword or to trust in a completely unknown child about this?'
"And you're telling me, that you a 'Kid' are capable of buying that sword?"
"And what if I tell you that I am."
Adam looked back and asked straight to his face.
"Why me then?"
"Why?... Because of you that's why."
"But I don't understand why you're willing to spend so much on someone you don't know."
"That's the thing. I don't. So make me understand why I should buy that sword."
Adam listened to his words and thought for sometime before asking.
"Are you really going to buy that sword?" now.
"Yes… but only if you are good enough."
Adam took a long moment to think before nodding at him.
"Alright then where do you want to do this?"
"Here"
"Here?"
"Yes. I want you to do whatever it is you want to do over here."
Adam looked at the beautiful design of the place and then at the person working at the kitchen.
"I can't do that with such a small space and there are also a lot of people working over here. They could get hurt."
William, hearing his words, thought skeptically.
'So a professional like him, still has some rationality in him.'
William nodded as he said, "Alright then, I understand."
Adam gave a sigh of relief until he saw what happened next.
William stretched out his hands and called the waiter back and a few moments later the same young man came back in a hurry.
"Yes, Monsieur?"
"Can you tell the staff to get out of this place?"
The waiter didn't understand as his face became weird at the words.
"I'm sorry, sir. But what did you mean by that?"
"I said to tell the staff that they can take the day off now."
"This restaurant is about to have a makeover."
Adam looked at William with a different look as he understood the meaning behind that.
The waiter still didn't understand what he was told but still did what he was told. He didn't want to agitate the people who looked like they were about to do something crazy.
In a few minutes the whole restaurant's staff quickly got away from the restaurant as fast as they could.
William looked at the empty environment in the restaurant and asked Adam.
"Will this do or do you want me to evacuate the people in the streets as well?"
Adam gave a sigh as he saw that the kid in front of him was adamant in seeing his skill. He didn't know whether this kid would actually do what he says he will but Adam took a chance.
Well it wasn't going to cost him anything other than his invaluable time so he didn't mind it.
"No this would do. But…"
"Are you going to stay?"
"Of Course, otherwise how will I see your skills then? I need to see them with my eyes and as visually as possible."
"Alright, then one last question. Do you mind if I use this restaurant as the main target?"
William spread his hands as he leaned back and said to him.
"Yes, Of Course. I bought this restaurant just so that I can talk to you. So you can do anything you want with this restaurant."
"Just make sure to do it within the perimeters of this restaurant. I didn't buy anything else over here so It'll be a problem for me if something happened outside and I would have to explain to the authorities why I was with one of the most wanted criminals."
"Don't worry. This restaurant would do just fine. You just don't take back what you said a little earlier about the sword."
"Believe me, If you were to make me satisfied with whatever you will do then that sword is as good as yours."
Adam didn't take his words too highly as he didn't know this strange kid.
He walked towards the table and slightly walked past it before stopping beside it. He faced towards William and said, "Brace yourself."
William became excited as he looked at Adam with great concentration.
Adam took a slow breath as he closed his eyes. Then he grabbed the grip of the sword hanging in his breath.
What happened next was very quick.
Adam quickly pulled out his sword and slashed in front of him before putting the sword back in its sheath.
But for William it was completely different.
Because he had already mastered both the dragon breathing art and the chaos breathing art, his body had sufficient changes to them.
One of them was that his eyesight had improved significantly. Not only that but they were also able to see things much faster than before and his brain could also comprehend them as well.
So in his eyes, he saw that Adam pulled out his sword in a backwards manner and with the motion still on it he quickly turned the sword upwards and let the motion take the sword downwards as he let the sword go the same way it was before and then he quickly put it back on its sheath.
William didn't understand what had happened because Adam had just casually swang the sword without any real power in it.
"You should shield yourself now."
Adam said and casually sat on the chair without explaining why. So William didn't understand what he meant until the next moment.
The restaurant started to shake immediately before it fell on them.
On the outside, The bodyguards hired by William were becoming more anxious as the time seemed to pass. They didn't know what their boss was doing with the man inside or what was taking them so long.
They had strict rules to stay outside so they didn't dare to do anything else. The work they had at the moment was paying them quite generously so they couldn't complain.
As they kept wandering about the place, Suddenly the ground under them started to shake violently.
"What is this!"
"Why is the ground shaking like this!"
All of them became worried at what was happening but the next thing made them lose their minds.
As the shaking kept happening, the restaurant suddenly shook even more than the ground before it collapsed on itself.
