Chapter 468: Relentless Pressure

After each operation, Adam would always make a public declaration, and it seemed like he was just repeating himself every single time, much like the empty promises that politicians would repeatedly make to their voters, but unlike those politicians, Adam\'s promises were never empty.

He always followed through on his promises, and if he could establish such an image of reliability, then his position in the election race would be virtually unassailable.

The other candidates had clearly identified this as well, and they were trying to tarnish this glowing image of his, but there simply wasn\'t much that they could do.

Everyone in Adam\'s camp was of the opinion that the election was as good as won, and many of his supporters were already preparing to pop open champagne bottles in advance to celebrate his victory. Toshiyuki Matsumara felt as if a massive weight had been taken off his shoulders. He couldn\'t think of any ways for the enemy to prevent Adam\'s ascension to the top.

Unlike all past mayoral candidates, Adam was currently one of the world\'s top adapters, so not only was there no way for the enemy to derail his political campaign, killing him was a virtually impossible task as well.

"Becoming his election advisor is one of the smartest decisions I\'ve ever made."

This wasn\'t the first time that he had said this to himself, but each time he said this, some new circumstances would always arise to make him doubt himself, and he suspected that this pattern would only continue.

Following his return, Adam made another move against the Gaia Organization.

Last time, he had retrieved Liu Shouyi from Shadow City, and this time, he had gone straight to the organization\'s headquarters in Sandrise City.

Area 22 was the self-proclaimed new Silicon Valley of Sandrise City, and Adam and his team stormed straight into the area before surrounding the Gaia Organization building, right before the eyes of some of the brightest technological minds in the world.

"This is a massive development! I don\'t think we\'ll have to worry about running out of conversation topics anytime soon."

Many of the employees of the other companies in the area were watching with excitement as dozens of Mechguard units locked down the roads, while Mechguard drones were circling around in the sky. Dressed in a neatly pressed suit, Adam stepped out of a car before looking around in a calm and composed fashion, looking as if he were an esteemed guest attending an appointment.

Having defeated Masao Yamamoto and Hebi no Miko in succession, he was feeling more confident and self-assured than ever. He now firmly believed that justice would always prevail in the face of evil, and that confidence and conviction was being reflected in his eyes.

He was in no hurry to track down any specific criminals. Instead, he merely stood still on the spot in the face of the countless pairs of eyes that were trained on him, and all of the surrounding reporters who had flocked to the scene were scrambling to take as many photographs of him as they could.

"What is he doing here now? The Gaia Organization already provided a very clear explanation last time, and they\'ve arrived at an agreement with the Bureau of Investigation and the courts of law. They\'ve refuted the evidence that he presented last time, and it was determined that Liu Shouyi was too mentally unsound to serve as a reliable witness..."

Many of the people keeping a close eye on the situation were rather perplexed by Adam\'s actions, and in the Adam Eradication Group, Blake was currently still organizing the latest reports.

The news of Adam\'s victory over Hebi no Miko had been a massive bombshell for everyone. It could\'ve been argued that Masao Yamamoto was primarily a businessman and a Lamp Keeper, so perhaps his defeat wasn\'t all that much of a surprise, but Hebi no Miko had always been regarded as a human super weapon!

This was someone that even May and Wax Figure combined wasn\'t able to defeat, yet she had perished by the hands of Adam and Adam alone!

This was a completely unexpected turn of events for the Adam Eradication Group, and they were forced to scrap almost the entirety of their original plan. Blake was so disheartened that he considered giving up, but it was too late to turn back now.

"Go through all of the latest special reports on the Gaia Organization to see if they contain any potentially incriminating evidence that could be used against them."

"I\'m already on it, and there doesn\'t appear to be anything."

"If you ask me, this seems more like a strategic move to sow panic and unrest."

Blake raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, and an enlightened look flashed through his eyes. Perhaps this was indeed the case, but then that begged the question of exactly what Adam was trying to achieve through this strategic move.

Meanwhile, in Area 22, Adam remained standing on the spot, allowing photographs of himself to be taken, and only after sufficient suspense had been built up did he begin to make his way toward the entrance of the Gaia Organization headquarters.

One of the reporters rushing along beside him yelled, "Mr. Adam, who are you going to arrest this time? Do you have any concrete evidence indicating that the Gaia Organization has engaged in criminal activity?"

Adam turned to the camera with a smile as he replied, "There\'s no need to ask questions, just follow me and watch."

Inside the hall on the first floor of the building, the branch manager, Mr. Wesson, wore a dark expression as he stood in Adam\'s way, accompanied by several dozen subordinates and security guards.

"Mr. Adam we\'ve already provided ample explanation acquitting us of all of the accusations you levied against us. I have reason to believe that you\'re intentionally trying to harm the reputation and normal operation of our organization."

"Is that right?"

Adam stopped around a meter and a half away from Mr. Wesson, and his smile faded as a sharp and piercing look appeared in his eyes.

"Are you certain that your organization has shown enough to acquit itself of all wrongdoing, including the charges that I\'m about to raise now?"

In contrast with his normal pleasant demeanor, he had suddenly become extremely aggressive and overbearing, giving off such immense pressure that Mr. Wesson was momentarily intimidated into silence.

He was a board member of the organization and the general manager of this branch, possessing a lofty status comparable to a congressman or even the leader of a small nation, yet he was being intimidated by a kid!

Hold on, he\'s suppressing me with his psychic power!

As soon as he came to this realization, he pressed a small device in his hand, and a weak electric pulse instantly ran through his body, stimulating the secretions of his adrenal glances. As a result, his heart rate was elevated, as were his emotions, and he was able to shrug off the psychic pressure being exerted upon him.

Adam could sense this change, and his brows furrowed slightly as he continued to maintain his psychic pressure, silently waiting for a response.

"I am certain. Please present concrete evidence supporting your claims, or go back and wait for a letter from our organization\'s lawyers," Wesson replied in an implacable voice.

A mocking sneer appeared on Adam\'s face, and he pulled a storage device out of his pocket before raising it to his own shoulder, positioning it so that it was visible to the reporters outside the building.

"I have a report here that indicates that during the past several years, the Gaia Organization had committed many criminal offenses, including corporate fraud, malicious abuse of the elderly, illegal collection and selling of life data, and many more crimes."

Adam offered the storage device to Wesson and looked straight into his eyes as he asked, "Do you dare to open this device in front of everyone?"

In this moment, Wesson felt as if the tie around his neck had suddenly turned into a noose, and he was struggling to breathe. He really wanted to call Adam\'s bluff, but at the same time, he was terrified that the storage device would actually be containing some form of concrete incriminating evidence.

His hesitation instantly became a massive talking point on the entire internet.

Right at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out in Adam\'s mind without any warning.

"Can we have a chat in private, Mr. Adam?"
