God of Crime: Strongest Mafia Boss



After his true body was left with Yuri, Adam's illusory clone, which was still present in the room, looked at the sleeping Hae-Won.

The splitting of his focus always felt rather weird to him. After all, the illusion he had left could not see, smell or actually do anything on its own. That's why it was only an illusion.

This vision was just a way to give the impression that he was here. But in reality, his vision and senses were spread through the entirety of his dimension was able to perceive everything that happened within it.

It was in a quiet moment like this that Adam realized how alien he had become in recent times. His physical body felt more like a prison constraining the limitless possibilities of his mind more than anything. And that was a thought that weirded him out a fair bit.

"Well, I wonder just what I should do with you."

He sighed absentmindedly. He would be lying if he said that he had no affection for the woman at all. He would be nothing short of an unfeeling machine if he was able to say that about a woman he shared physical intimacy with. But this affection was nothing more than the innate feeling of possession men almost always felt toward the women they had sex with. Nothing more, nothing else.

Aside from that small feeling of possession, all Adam felt for her was a certain feeling of pity and sexual desire for her immaculate body and luscious curves.

'I am so… sorry… for everything…'

Adam could only give a bitter smile at that thought. It had been some time since he had last apologized to one of his victims. He had been used to being filled with so much guilt during the first few kills that he had done.

It was rather frightening how he went from that to using people as experimental subjects and simple stepping stones toward obtaining what he wished for. Truly frightening…

'Life sure is full of surprises, huh?'

He smiled before lifting Hae-Won up and placing her in a more comfortable position. He had already taken a look at her psyche to be sure to not hurt her mental capabilities and well-being due to his prying. Right now, she should be having a rather beautiful dream with no one to interrupt her.

It was necessary for him to think about the three ordeals he had received from the system now. He had no choice but to think about them.

『 Major Ordeal: Black Knight

Description: Eradicate all the members of Blue Shark with no exceptions.

Reward: 1000 Karma points.

Note: For every member killed, you get an additional 10 Karma. 』

『 Major Ordeal: White Knight

Description: Forgiveness is the path. Everyone is worthy of second chances. Make the leader of the blue shark repent and give himself to the authorities of justice.

Reward: 1500 Karma points.

Note: The deeper the change the more the reward will increase. 』

『 Major Ordeal: Grey Knight

Description: Do not let anger cloud your mind. Follow the most optimum path to obtain your goals. There is no such thing as friend or enemy. Only eternal benefits. Vengeance brings nothing. Work with the leader of the blue Shark to obtain more benefits.

Reward: 3000 Karma points. 』

Adam was still torn over what choice he should take between them. Of course, it wasn't as if he was forced to take any of those choices. But some more Karma wouldn't hurt him a single bit. In fact, he was willing to take any bit of Karma he could get to use them to open his major chakra pathways.

After all, he still needed a great reserve of points in order to open the next Chakra. Once he opened up the Heart Chakra, he would be able to reinforce his physical body with his almost limitless reserves of Prana.

Surely, even if it wasn't enough to match those at the very top of the supernatural world, he wouldn't be completely useless before them, right?

"Ugh…"

A groan leaked out of Hae-Won's mouth then her eyes started to flutter slightly.

'Is she supposed to wake up so soon?'

Soon, Hae-Won's eyes were opened wide and she looked at her surroundings with confusion before moving her head away when she noticed Adam sitting in front of her.

Her ears and face became flushed red after seeing him. She only recalled vaguely about what she had seen. But the dream this time had made her see many incredible things.

She could scarcely believe that she had ended up having a wet dream.

"How are you? Awake?"

Hae-Won nodded before tucking a hair behind her hair. Now that she was awake, there were many things she wanted to say.

"I… I am alright. How long did I fall asleep for?"

"Only a few minutes and don't worry. You look cute even while asleep. It was very entertaining to see your sleep."

"Cinder…"

"Haha. Sorry, I couldn't help myself."

Hae-Won nodded before looking around. "Hum. What is your opinion on gifts?"

Hae-Won initially prepared a bunch of clothes and branded watches. Not necessarily a flashy thing but rather intricate and high-grade.

In the end, though, she hesitated. She read some host clubs and the hosts had the answer.

While money schemes were plenty, most of them actually were all in accord to say that sudden surprise and gifts, while cool, were the last thing that they wanted.

Money was good. But suddenly getting a gift seemed to be a nono.

"Well, I don't mind them;"

Adam was not really happy about gifts in general. This stemmed from his childhood and the way his birthday happened. But he didn't hate them either.

Another reason he was not super excited was that those gifts would be for "Cinder' and not "Adam"

Making them useless outside of when used for work. If did use them they would even know that he was related to them.

Hae-Won clapped in happiness. She had many gifts to show. She would give the chance to choose what he liked

Meanwhile, Shuri, Yui, and Adam were in the office room of Yui.

This time, Adam was standing behind Yui, while the two women were doing a sort of stare contest.

They did not budge. Knowing that starting first would give the other a certain psychological advantage, they keep their mouth shut.

In the end, Adam was the one to make an end to the awkward silence.

"Hi, Shury. I am happy to see you. What brings you here?"

As if she had been waiting for this moment for some time now, Shuri immediately relented.

In the first place, she was not here in a position of force. She was simply so used to working with a crowd that was in need of her help in such a moment that she became used.

"Hello, Cinder. I am happy to see you too."

Shuri smiled at the masked man before focusing on her image. She could discuss it with him later on.

For now, she had something very important to talk about and this was…

"I am here to make a deal."

"A deal?"

Shuri took a deep breath quietly before going at it.

"Let's form an alliance."
