The Befallen Crown wanted to get rid of Adam, which meant they had to kill him. But if possible, they would have preferred to capture him alive.
Initially, that was exactly what the Befallen Crown intended to do. Still, when they realized that Adam wasn't just a talented Phantom, but one of the leading candidates to become the next Second Rank Phantom, their stance changed.
But Midgar knew that if he brought Adam Vinter to the Befallen Crown alive, his reward would be far greater than if he simply killed him.
He knew how strong Adam was, but the difference in their levels was too great.
"You know, if you were to become a Second Rank Phantom, I wouldn't stand a chance against you."
Midgar's voice rang out as a stream of blood rushed between them.
"I'm afraid of the power you'll possess by then. That's exactly why your path will end today."
Tap.
Before Adam could recover from his severe wound, Midgar placed his palm on Adam's chest.
