Chapter 217 - Recovering From The Backlash Part 2
"Adam how were you able to teleport or whatever that movement ability was?" asked Angela.
"I don\'t know myself, but I can do it" answered Adam.
Adam had always avoided her questions, but he finally answered her, which was unexpected and was a pleasant surprise. She was quite sure that his answer was honest, but she was disappointed by it and made her even more curious about who he really was and where he came from.
His appearance didn\'t seem to be from any specific race, but his skin was very pale and matched with his red eyes and devilish charms, Angela couldn\'t help but come up with some wild ideas.
"Are you a vampire or some sort of demonic race?" asked Angela seriously.
Adam didn\'t know how to react and began to laugh, but while laughing, he suddenly began to swear as he felt a sudden piercing pain in his stomach.
"Stop asking such stupid questions or I might drink your blood and turn into a vampire" teased Adam as he tried his best not to laugh as it was very painful to do so in the state that he was in.
Angela couldn\'t help but laugh as she slapped his shoulder in annoyance, then apologised after seeing the pain that she caused him.
Adam\'s entire body was very sensitive and a weak hit could cause him immense pain.
"So what are you? How come you are so capable without coming from a large cultivation family?" asked Angela.
"Don\'t tell me you are from another large cultivation family from another city or even another country" suggested Angela.
"No I am an ordinary person and you don\'t need to know too much about me. All you need to know is that I protect and help my friends, will kill those in my way and will become the most powerful. I\'m not afraid of anyone or anything and will do almost anything to get what I want or need, and this city is merely the first step on my journey" stated Adam.
In the state he was in, what he said didn\'t seem very convincing, but from everything Angela had seen from him, she had no reason not to believe him.
"Then I will support you on your journey and hope that you will help and protect me as your friend" declared Angela, who felt her ambition and drive be reignited by Adam\'s ambition.
Angela was unsure if she would be able to kill as easily as he could as although she saw ordinary people as peasants and ants, she was unsure how she would feel if she was direct cause of someone else\'s death, but the rest of Adam\'s ambitions resonated with her.
However she still had so many other questions to ask Adam and didn\'t want to stop there, but just as she was about to ask Adam another question, Wayde returned to the room carrying many things at once.
"I brought you everything you requested" announced Wayde as he placed everything he brought on the ground.
It wasn\'t heavy in the slightest for someone at his power level, but just because his body was strong, it didn\'t mean he could carry so many things at once easily.
Adam could see all types of jerky and large amounts of it and also saw that Wayde had brought a few kilograms of sugar, 10 litres of water and a large bucket.
Seeing everything he had bought, Adam and even Angela\'s stomach rumbled since they hadn\'t eaten anything in a long time and hadn\'t been eating much lately.
"Perfect, thanks a lot" thanked Adam.
"Can you help me up?" asked Adam, barely able to move his body.
Wayde nodded his head and walked over to him.
After reaching Adam, without even asking for Adam\'s permission, he carried Adam in his arms like a baby and Adam who was currently experiencing pain and faituge all around his body couldn\'t resist.
"Put me down, I am not a baby" complained Adam, but Wayde ignored him and placed him on the ground in front of all the things that he had bought him.
"Alright, Wayde you have got to help me out. Can you pour all the water in the bucket along with all the sugar?" asked Adam.
"Don\'t tell me you are planning on consuming all of that sugar and drinking all of that water at once? Are you crazy?" exclaimed Angela, who had never heard or seen somebody use such an absurd way to recover.
"Well we will see," said Adam as Wayde did as Adam asked.
While Wayde did so, Adam was scoffing down large amounts of jerky and he knew that the protein was essential for the recovery of his cells, especially the muscle cells, along with the glucose providing his cells and body with energy.
The energy in the atmosphere was different to the essential energy that food had and at Adam\'s current cultivation level and with the amount of knowledge that he had, he was yet to be able to substitute the energy in the atmosphere for food.
It was known that cultivators would be able to survive for longer without food or water, but their bodies also needed more water and food to sustain, especially for External Cultivation.
Adam was quite sure that his master was able to do so as there wasn\'t much food in the forest that he lived in and there also wasn\'t any other way for him to get food, since he hadn\'t been to the city, but he was more focused on recovering.
He would ask his master about it when he returned to him and also wanted to tell him everything that was happening with the large cultivation families, but before then, his recovery was his priority.
Adam had scoffed down a few packets of beef jerky, which was dried meat that was very high in protein and also quite salty and tasty, by the time Wayde had poured all the water and sugar into the bucket.
However, he felt as though his hunger was insatiable and it had barely reduced his hunger, which was exactly what Adam wanted to feel as it showed him that his body wanted food.
"Here goes nothing," said Adam as he prepared to drink the contents of the bucket that had 3kg of sugar dissolved into 10 litres of water.
