Chapter 409: Renee\'s Response, Information from Thilan

By the time Adam made his way into the restaurant, Renee had already sat down at a table. Her entire body was sparkling, and as soon as she sat down, she was immediately offered an electronic menu by a server.

"Bring me one of each dessert item on your menu. I want to taste all of them," Renee instructed with a smile.

For some reason, the server seemed to be extremely anxious, like a servant tending to the needs of a princess, and it didn\'t take long before all of the desserts were brought to Renee\'s table.

Renee immediately dug into the desserts one by one, taking extra bites of ones that caught her fancy and spitting out ones that she didn\'t like.

She had no regard for table manners, how wasteful her actions were, or what other people thought of her.

This would\'ve been rather abhorrent behavior in anyone else, but for some reason, she made it seem utterly mundane and justified.

Every single one of her actions was able to impact the people around her, indicating that her psychic power definitely wasn\'t inferior to May\'s. On top of that, she was one of the bishops of the Psychic Church, and at this point, Adam was already convinced that she was going to be a powerful ally.

"May, you called me out today to help Mr. Adam, right? I recall that you never got involved in politics, and that\'s one of the reasons we\'ve always been able to get along. Why the sudden change of heart?"

Only after having a taste of the ice cream that she desired did she turn to the main topic at hand, but it seemed that the ice cream hadn\'t been to her liking, as evidenced by the fact that she threw it away after having only one mouthful.

"The Psychic Church is a place for adapters to communicate and exchange ideas, and it\'s only been able to exist to this point as it also keeps itself out of all political conflicts."

"Is that right?" Adam challenged.

It was clear from the Carlin Asylum incident that the Psychic Church was politically inclined, but Adam didn\'t explicitly point this out.

"Of course. At the very least, that\'s always been the case for me."

Renee turned to Adam with a smile, but it was clear that she was preparing to leave.

May could see her intentions, and she hurriedly interjected, "It\'s not a political matter. Instead, we want to administer psychotherapeutic treatment on the friend of a friend."

Adam had naturally already revealed to May what his intentions were, but of course, he had given her a "legal" explanation.

He knew that the pawn shop only engaged in business that fell within the boundaries of the law.

As for whether May actually believed him or not, that was up to her.

"So it has nothing to do with the election?"

"Nothing at all," May confirmed with a shake of her head. "You know me. If this had something to do with the election, I wouldn\'t even get involved myself, much less drag you into this as well."

"That\'s true, you are a smart woman," Renee mused with a nod. "In that case, I\'ll help you just this once to return the favor you did me."

"Thank you!"

Adam was very relieved to hear Renee\'s response.

He had yearning for both the abilities and the anomalic power of the angel of death for a very long time.

This level nine or level 10 anomaly possessed immense anomalic power, and if he could obtain this power, then that would propel him to the ranks of the most powerful adapters in the world.

Only with more power could he carry out his plans.

"By the way, I have a small request," Adam said. "There\'s a contact between the patient and me, stating that I have to be the one to personally treat his condition, so once the anomaly is on the brink of death, I\'ll have to get you to leave the psychic world and leave the rest to me."

"That\'s fine, it makes no difference to me. When do we do this?"

"As soon as possible."

"Alright, then let\'s make it tomorrow. I need to sleep today. Come find me tomorrow."

Renee left Adam her addresses, then tasted a couple of beverages before departing, yawning as she did so.

However, prior to her departure, Adam raised a question that had been on his mind this entire time.

"All of the schools under the Psychic Church teach their students that pain is what makes adapters stronger, and that\'s always been the fundamental training ethos of the Psychic Church, so why are you..."

Renee couldn\'t help but burst into laughter upon hearing this. "\'Pain makes you stronger\' is only a training philosophy aimed at ordinary people like you. There are countless ways in which powerful adapters can be born, and the Psychic Church only teaches the most universally effective method. Once you reach a certain level, you have to find your own path."

……

.

"Hey Adam, we\'ve wrapped Noah up like a mummy and knocked him out with strong sedatives just like you asked." The next morning, Mole followed Adam\'s instructions, using the medical supplies at the veterinarian hospital to disguise Noah as a critically ill patient. "What is this for?"

"We need to transport him elsewhere without anyone else finding out. I\'m a public figure after all, so I have to maintain my image. Bring Shae with you and transport him to this address. I\'ll meet you there."

"Alright," Mole replied with a nod, then handed the address to Shae. "You drive, I don\'t like having to drive while looking at an address."

After receiving the address, Shae quickly determined that it was somewhere in Area 21.

"That\'s the area that the Psychic Church is in. Normally, it would be considered to be quite a safe area, but for us right now, it\'s very dangerous. Do you still remember what happened with Prince? The Psychic Church has very close ties with the southern congress."

"We have no choice. This is a very important matter, if we keep delaying it, then we won\'t have any chance of winning the election."

Adam had checked the voting leaderboard earlier and discovered that Clyde had extended his lead even further.

Even after everything Adam had done recently, he had only managed to catch up to some of his competitors, but the gap between him and Clyde was only continuing to widen.

If he couldn\'t make an important breakthrough, then his fate in this election would\'ve been all but sealed.

"Let\'s go."

Instead of traveling with Shae and Mole, Adam was leaving the hospital in a car with heavily tinted windows that Cowboy had prepared for him.

Hover cars were significantly slower than void rail capsules, and after getting into the car, Adam switched on the autopilot mode while he began to watch the news.

Following the previous incident, he had thought that the Chaos Raisers would lie low for some time, but that wasn\'t the case at all.

There were still Chaos Raisers wreaking havoc all over the city, and according to the news reports, the organization had recruited a lot of new people.

It looks like finding deranged people is a lot easier than finding top-tier adapters.

Given the population and the oppressive environment of Sandrise City, it did make sense that mentally disturbed individuals were very easy to find. As long as one had sufficient blank slates, they would be able to mass-produce powerful adapters.

There\'s not much I can do about that, let\'s take care of the matter at hand first.

Adam was just about to close his eyes to rest when he suddenly received an encrypted message on his communicator.

There was no name attached to the message, and it had been sent using an untraceable communicator purchased from the dark web, but Adam could tell from its contents that it had been sent by Thilan.

"The southern congress is about to make a move on you. Killing a mayoral candidate will create huge controversy, and you\'ve already been targeted in the past, so you won\'t be in any danger, but things will become very difficult for you from now on.

“Some problems will arise in Mechguard\'s deployment data, and it\'s not a major issue, but it means that Mechguard units will be slow to arrive at crime scenes, and they\'ll also be given less priority when traveling along roads.

“Most importantly, the southern congress has already called upon the power of the Guild of Immortality to disrupt your future missions. They\'ll disguise themselves as the adapter criminals that you\'re targeting to foil your operations."

The message wasn\'t very long, but it was jam-packed with useful information.

They\'re still not satisfied, even though they already have Clyde. The southern congress really does like to cover all of its bases...
