142 I Seek

While everyone was in the line of combat, Adam hid. This is not to say that he was a coward, only that he thought it was not worth risking his life for a conflict alien to him.

Honestly speaking, those who would have to kill each other were the sect and the clans, not the military, Adam had read several history books since he had learned to read, which practically said the same thing.

The republic and the empire lived in a vicious circle consisting of times of peace, provocation on the one hand and war on the other. This was repeated over and over again without giving a winner because their strength was equal.

In all these wars throughout history, only a few times did the disciples of the clans and the Sect partic.i.p.ate. Adam was no fool and realized that neither side dared to bet everything on victory, both sides were very conservative.

These wars were only to control and diminish each other's strength in a battle of attrition. Success or defeat depends on who won or lost the most in the wars, causing these results to acc.u.mulate and the distance between the two forces to become visible.

The clans and sect sought to unbalance the balance over time, showing a clear winner but it was not easier to say what to do. Despite centuries of war the balance remained relatively balanced and unless one side had an uprising in superior strength, this war could last for many more centuries.

Adam was not interested in dying because of the anger and incompetence of the clans, Adam did not know much but had heard rumors that those who incited this conflict, were not punished by the sect and in fact apparently his descent is still in the sect.

Adam could only think of the incompetent clans and decided not to get involved. The republic had given him nothing so he did not feel bad about what he was going to do.

The city Pale had not made simulations so it was chaotic and no soldier knew what to do, Apart from placing themselves in their positions did nothing else. While the high command was busy giving orders without having time to count the soldiers, much less notice their absence.

This gladdened him and he went to the Treasure Warehouse at full speed while guarding the surroundings.

Soon he arrived at the Cellar and being one of the few custodians of the cellar knew the combination, The entrance and door opened, Without hesitation Adam took an empty sack and took the three hundred white gold coins, together with a few hundred silver coins.

The white gold coins were money for the long term and could not be easily displayed, so he decided to take a few silver coins that would last a few months.

Adam put his sack on his shoulder and ran at the fastest speed towards the commercial district of the city Pale, There he would look for a commercial caravan of the "Beta" chamber of commerce.

This was a giant chamber of commerce that was both in the empire and in the republic, There was a saying that said: "Businesses have no flags" and it was true, This chamber of commerce was huge and spanned hundreds of thousands of miles, Having countless experts behind their backs, no one dared offend them.

Normally every day a caravan will arrive in Pale City with merchandise for distribution to the other cities within the republic but today with the imminent attack, the chamber of commerce would clean its warehouses.

He could not let his goods be stolen in the chaos. So they emptied their warehouse and would go through the main doors and with the state of the chamber of commerce no one would dare to stop them, For when the seat of the chamber found out, their heads would roll.

Adam's plan was easy, to get into the caravan. Caravans like these would have countless carriages pulled by demonic beasts, so getting into one of the middle carriages was not difficult. They could have experts guarding the wagons but they didn't have enough manpower to place an expert per wagon.

Taking advantage of this Adam watched the carriages and got into one of them being crushed by goods but soon in his hand he felt something soft and began to play with it until he heard a faint groan: "Ahhh".

When Adam heard that, he didn't play with it anymore. He was afraid that the driver would listen to them and that it was bad manners, otherwise he felt a pain in his hand. He was being bitten by someone!

Adam could only bear the pain and whisper: "Why you bite me! Are you an animal!"

The other party only replied: "Hmph, You are the animal, Your family is of animals. Now shut up, let's hope it's night to go out, I don't want you to ruin my plans!"

Adam wrinkled his eyebrows and thought, "Your plans?"

But he did not dare to reply, so the two remained silent until night came and the carriage stopped.

Soon the sounds of celebration sounded and you could hear the merchants drinking alcohol and listening to music, It was as if war did not exist for them. Besides their ident.i.ty, the people who would have the courage to steal from them were very small. So they were comfortable and off guard.

Many were waiting for Pale City to fall or survive. If it fell then they would go to the nearest branch to report and if it survived they would relocate to the city to resume their business. It's that simple.

Everything was joy until midnight when everything was quiet and two shadows came out of one of the countless carriages. A few miles from the caravan the shadows finally stopped and sighed.

At last it was all over and they were free.

Soon the two shadows examined each other, and in the moonlight they realized they were surprised. Adam was surprised because the woman in front of him was the same as General Posay's third daughter.

"It's you, Beth Posay!"

"It's you, the stalker!"

After that, the two were silent and Adam was the first to recover only to say furiously: "Who are you calling a stalker?!"

Beth in her beautiful embroidered dress said scornfully: "Whenever I arrived at the base you saw me from afar, isn't that hara.s.sing?"

Adam got stiff when he heard that and could only turn his head and said: "It's not, I just like to see beautiful things, If you weren't beautiful I wouldn't see you".

Beth gave a faint smile and approached Adam saying, "Am I really beautiful?"

Adam was furious at the girl's att.i.tude, so he moved quickly and kissed her, making her lips meet each other.

She was just playing with this young man but never thought that this young man would steal her first kiss!

She didn't know why but when the young man touched her lips, she felt that her whole body was being electrified and lost all its strength, leaving her body at the disposal of the young man the only thing she could do was give a few small blows to the young man's chest.

"MMmmm"

So after a while, Adam left Beth's lips and said, "Now I want to see how you show that arrogant expression of yours."

But when Adam realized, Beth had an expression of pain and on the edges of her eyes wanted to shed tears, Adam could only think: "Exaggerate ..., My father always told me that the best way to silence a woman was with a kiss, until I remain silent".

But before even Adam could speak, Beth shouted: "I don't want to get pregnant! I don't want to have this commoner's child!"

Adam showed an expression of disbelief and couldn't believe that this little girl thought a simple kiss would get her pregnant. Didn't they teach her the basics at home?

"Shut up, you won't get pregnant by a simple kiss," Adam said in exasperation.

Beth calmed down a little and said, "Really, I don't want to have your child."

This caused Adam's face to freeze but only nodded, while inside he said, "f.u.c.king b.i.t.c.h, it's bad to have my son."

Adam didn't want to fight anymore so he kept his thoughts to himself. He could only ask: "What are you doing here?"

Beth before such a question hesitated a little and remained silent until after a few moments she said: "I seek holy Land".
