"This is a very beneficial matter for both of us.
Of course, if Miss Mariko-san is unwilling, I won't force her."
Adam replied, somewhat puzzled, as he looked at Miss Mariko, whose expression had become unexpectedly bashful.
It's better if they cooperate, but if she's unwilling, it doesn't really matter. After a few more years of development, a direct takeover wouldn't be out of the question. He wasn't in that much of a hurry anyway.
"Willing, willing, willing."
In her excitement, Miss Mariko quickly reached out and grabbed Adam's arm.
Both personally and professionally, she had to make this cooperation happen.
Adam gently removed Miss Mariko's hand:
"Since you're willing, Susan will discuss the details with you later."
After calling Susan to continue talking with Miss Mariko, Adam went over to Viper, reaching out and leaving a Flying Thunder God Technique mark on the fair skin of her chest.
"Cooperate with Susan to complete the work here. Don't think about escaping, because I can find you anytime."
Finally, he greeted Wolverine and Lady Deathstrike, then activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and returned to his school dormitory.
After washing up, he lay on his bed and thought to himself:
"It seems I need to find time to research the Legilimency Spell."
The power of the Rinnegan's Human Path could indeed read memories, but extracting a soul to read memories meant killing the target.
And often, the people whose memories he wanted to read weren't all enemies, or at least not enemies he absolutely had to kill.
Although the Legilimency Spell was difficult to use to completely read all of a person's memories like the Human Path, it could subtly read a person's thoughts and some memories without them realizing it.
If he knew the Legilimency Spell today, he could have immediately judged the truthfulness of Viper's words during her interrogation.
He could also have known what Miss Mariko was thinking during their cooperation talks.
"There's still so much to learn. Time to train!"
Shaking off distracting thoughts, Adam leaped from his bed and headed to the combat simulation room to train.
magic and Ninjutsu could be assigned to Shadow Clones for training, but the improvement of physical combat power could only rely on the main body.
Now, the Gravity Chamber's gravity could reach ten times the normal, which was a period of rapid advancement for his combat power. His combat power was changing daily, and he absolutely could not be complacent.
His training principle had always been to focus on developing his Saiyan bloodline potential, with other things as Assist.
Because in terms of destructive power, the destructive power of Ki was the greatest and the speed of improvement was the fastest.
However, he hadn't even stepped into the combat simulation room when he received a call from Nick Fury.
"Adam, you're late!"
"What late? No, I'm on my way, on my way. You know, Tokyo is far from Washington. I'll be there in another hour."
Adam paused, then immediately realized what was happening, quickly hung up the phone, and flew towards Washington.
He had actually forgotten that when Nick Fury gave him the intelligence that day, he had scheduled a meeting for today to discuss matters.
Flying at top speed, in less than forty minutes, he arrived at the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, on the rooftop of the Triskelion.
"Leave a mark."
He didn't rush to see Nick Fury, but instead left a Flying Thunder God Technique mark on the rooftop.
This way, whenever he wanted to in the future, he could instantly teleport here, without having to fly for so long.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
In the S.H.I.E.L.D. Director's office, Nick Fury was sitting in his chair looking at some important intelligence that Hill had submitted, when he suddenly heard a tapping sound behind him. He immediately stood up alertly and drew the pistol from his waist.
After seeing what was happening, he couldn't help but say with a dark expression:
"Adam, can't you just use the elevator downstairs?"
It turned out that the one tapping on the glass was Adam, floating in mid-air.
Adam shrugged:
"That's too slow, it wastes time. This is more direct."
"But I only have these small ventilating windows here, I can't let you in."
Nick Fury walked to the corner of the wall and opened a small window, only the size of a palm.
As the Director's office, it was impossible to have very large windows, otherwise it would be easy for people to sneak in from outside and steal intelligence.
There were only a few palm-sized small windows for ventilation.
"It's very simple."
Adam smiled and lightly touched a large pane of glass, which immediately shattered with a crash.
"That was the best bulletproof glass!"
Nick Fury's eyebrows shot up at the sight.
One had to know that the glass in this office couldn't even be broken by a sniper rifle. Adam's strength was truly becoming more and more terrifying.
"You—"
Before Nick Fury could find fault, Adam entered the office and immediately pointed at the shattered window again:
"Restore as before."
Instantly, the shattered glass returned to its original state.
"Director Fury, what were you just going to say?"
"Nothing, nothing. Since you're here, let's talk business."
Nick Fury twitched his mouth and pressed a button on his desk, giving an order:
"Send two coffees to the office."
Adam unceremoniously pulled over a chair and sat opposite Nick Fury:
"I wonder, Director Fury, what important matter did you specially call me here for?"
He asked very directly, without any beating around the bush or indirect probing.
Those things were only necessary when one's strength was insufficient.
Now, with his strength and the scale of the League of Heroes, he no longer needed to play those superficial games with Nick Fury.
Being direct and saving unnecessary time to the greatest extent was what he needed to do.
"I know you're having people research gravity-related technology. I have such technology in my hands.
I believe if these technologies fall into Dr. Reed's hands, he should be able to help you increase the gravity to around fifty times."
Nick Fury also saw Adam's directness and immediately changed his strategy, directly throwing out his biggest prepared bargaining chip.
He needed this chip to awe Adam, so that he could have the right to speak next.
"Fifty times gravity!"
Adam almost stood up from his chair when he heard Nick Fury's words.
Nick Fury's goal was achieved; he was indeed shocked, and at the same time, his heart instantly burned with excitement.
Fifty times gravity! If he could adapt to training in fifty times gravity, his combat power would absolutely skyrocket like a Rocket.
At that time, if he spent a little more time, reaching twenty to thirty thousand combat power shouldn't be a problem.
With twenty to thirty thousand combat power, he felt that normal Skyfather-level beings would no longer be his opponents, and even those not-so-powerful individual Universe-level beings wouldn't be impossible to contend with.
S.H.I.E.L.D. truly lived up to its reputation for intelligence; they actually figured out so quickly that the Gravity Chamber was what he valued most right now.
However, he wasn't surprised. Everyone had their strengths; intelligence was S.H.I.E.L.D.'s forte, and he hadn't deliberately tried to hide this matter either.
