God of Crime: Strongest Mafia Boss



As the light sun rose in the sky, Adam, who was floating in the sky, slowly opened his eyes.

'I managed to fall asleep like that.'

After a good drinking session, Shuri had left quite happily and was accompanied by Nikola who would serve as her bodyguard with her team for a while.

Though his relationship with Nikola had started on the wrong foot, from what he had seen of her she was very good at her job.

At the very least, he didn't have to worry about Shuri's safety.

This was why he had been able to come home with a light heart. Cecilia was nowhere to be seen and his two guests were busy furiously beating the anvil as a way to create a new prototype.

Since he was not particularly busy, Adam decided to do something he hadn't done in some time.

Sleeping…Well. More precisely sleeping with a small twist.

One mind took care of floating and another took care of illusions to keep him hidden. Finally one went to sleep.

By consciously shutting down one of his minds and making the other two move on standby it was basically as if he was sleeping.

[You are interesting to observe.]

Adam guessed that this was an euphemistic way of saying that he was weird.

'I will take this as a compliment.'

[As you should. Your growth is admirable and soon you will be able to call yourself a King without having to fear for your life.]

Adam snorted. He hated the situation he was in. Having to live with a sword of Damocles hanging above his head and ready to fall at any time. [1]

"I have more or less managed to deal with all the problems I had in the short term."

Shuri and Yuri had discussed how they could take away most of the business from [2] the Blue Shark.

As befitting of big organizations, they had many above-ground organizations and companies where the leader was the major shareholders.

Shuri planned to use the information they had obtained and make the price of the share crash before proceeding to a powerful and swift takeover.

Of course, this wouldn't stop at just this but she made clear that while she would take care of anything above ground, she did not wish to know anything about what they were going to do underground.

If she was ever interrogated, she wished to be able to deny all knowledge without committing perjury.

After Shuri left, Yui made it clear to ask him if they could use his money. After all, while Yui was rich, her wealth and assets were mainly in the form of shares and lands.

Adam readily accepted as Shuri promised that he would also have shares in all the companies they managed to take over.

He could already see his wealth increase at the speed of light.

'Should I talk to mom? Perhaps we could move?'

He wondered for a while before shaking his head.

Even though he had obtained so much money and might obtain more, Adam was not the kind to overspend.

In the end, money was nothing but a means. The reason he pursued it was to put his mother in a stable situation where she would never have to work again.

Then it was because he wanted to heal her and prepare a heart for her.

All of this was before he learned the true identity of his mother. So this made his desire for wealth even less prominent.

If he wished to, he could become rich at any time. He just needed to rob people and criminals to rob was the last thing that was lacking in this world.

'Enough of this. Say, did you think of different ways to test my immortality?'

[I did. I believe our next test should be dismemberment after death. Which part would regenerate first? What about the other part?]

'Hum…This could indeed be useful.'

The problem was that he needed to find someone to dismember him.

[Another test, much easier would be to try to maintain your consciousness open even after dying.]

'Oh…True.'

When he died, he became unconscious because his brain shut down. But he was already used to using senses that had nothing to do with his brain or his body.

Then, in theory, it should be possible to control his body and still fight even when he 'died'.

If he could do so, then he could still fight even if his body was reduced to dust or scattered in the four winds.

This would also give him more insurance when fighting as one of his fear was dying and being found out while he was out.

This nearly happened once with Natasha and he couldn't be sure that this wouldn't happen a second time.

'Perhaps if I do this I will finally be able to understand [Death] and assimilate it.'

This was another goal he had. His mastery of [Dream] and [Reality] were going nicely.

Thanks to his last fight with Cecilia he even had the feeling that he would soon be able to manipulate the elements of nature like fire and so on by using The [World].

After all, if telekinesis was possible then Pyrokinesis and so on should also be possible for him.

He just needed the right inspiration.

In the case of [Dream] he could now enter dreams and slightly manipulate them.

It was still far from becoming a true Dream walker or creating an entire world or universe through Dream but it was a step forward.

Only [Death] was still eluding him. Which was rather ironic all things considered.

'Hum?'

His train of thought was broken when he saw two people, a man and a woman walking in the direction of his house.

If it was just a normal person he would have not minded it but he could feel the Prana in their bodies.

The moment they entered his domain he immediately used his Eyes of Truth and was able to recognize who they were.

『 Name: Oscar Rodriguez

Affiliation: Hunter Association/Vatican

Alias: none

Race: Human

Age: 38 』

『 Name: Susanne Brown

Affiliation: Hunter Association/Vatican

Alias: none

Race: Human

Age: 27 』

They were the two hunters who had been present during the event in the Park.

Though back then, there was no mention of the Vatican in their affiliation. It seemed like many things had changed in those few days.

'What does the church want with me?'

He had a feeling that things would become bothersome.

[1]: I am sure everyone once heard this saying. The story involves two people, Damocles, and his King Dionysius. Damocles was like "Your life is beautiful and easy." So, Dio said why not give it a try?

Damocles obviously agreed only there was a sword attached above the throne and every time he had to look above and worry.

Dio became king through violence so he always had to worry about being attacked. He wanted Damocles to understand this feeling. The feeling of never knowing when Fate can come and pierce you.

In short, Dio said, "You thought it was easy but it was me! *Ahem* I mean…It was hard and stressful."

[2]: Let's be honest. This kind of action can never happen in a few days. It's the kind of shit that takes days of planning or at least weeks.
