Chapter 510 - Feeling Like A Proud Father
Liao Wei was surprisingly able to act and display himself to be a leader as he spoke to all the members of the newly formed Black Dragon Group, while even Adam was impressed.
Although it couldn't be compared to himself and his Charisma, Charming and leading capabilities were nothing when compared to his own, it was impressive for someone else, especially someone that wasn't a cultivator.
"I am not a cultivator like you all and I know that I am weak and most of you see me as a mere peasant or an ant, but we should all appreciate and protect each other. It's time to turn a new leaf and together we can make our region great again, at a time before your old boss came to this region,"
After he said that, the previous gang members broke out into cheers and had to follow Liao Wei's every order anyway, but now they felt much happier and more content following his orders.
"Now then, clean up the area then return to your homes. Also, stop dressing like thugs and start wearing suits. As for all the money and assets that your boss previously had, anything that was earned illegally or through underhanded means should be used in two ways. One is to distribute it to the poor and needy in our region and the second is to invest in schools, hospitals and other public areas. As for any drugs, hand them over to the police and try to form a good relationship with them," instructed Liao Wei who even surprised and impressed himself by how well he could speak.
"You should begin immediately and the other Powerhouse's subordinates should be distributed between the other three, and the three leaders should start on Liao Wei's orders, then return here to meet him tomorrow morning. At that time, bring him a report of the current situation of your old gang and inform him of everything he needs to know," Adam added, just to clarify, as the large group of powerful cultivators began to disperse.
Liao Wei felt that his heart was beating so fast that it was on the verge of leaping out of his chest, while he also felt light-headed and couldn't believe that he had actually managed to speak so confidently in front of so many people.
He had always been a very reserved and nervous individual, so speaking in front of a crowd was already amazing, let alone one that was filled with powerful and intimidating cultivators.
"Good job Liao Wei. For now, you will be heavily relying on the three powerhouses left, but I am sure you can achieve some great things and I will leave everything to you," Adam said, feeling like a proud father when seeing Liao Wei develop, despite being quite a lot younger than him.
Bowing down to Adam, Liao Wei had tears flowing down his face and after everything that had happened in the span of an hour had been too much for him to digest all at once.
His mother had been healed, he had observed a great battle between cultivators and then was granted control over hundreds of powerful cultivators.
It was something he never thought was possible even in his wildest dreams.
"Come on, you are the boss of the Black Dragon Group. Don't bow down to anyone and I am more interested in getting a haircut," Adam said as he pulled him up.
Laughing to himself, it was hard to believe that the causal and friendly Adam that stood before him was the same figure that could kill and fight hundreds of cultivators with ease. However, it was clear that Adam was a good person, and Liao Wei would never forget what Adam had done for him.
"Yes, right away," said the sniffling Liao Wei as he wiped his tears and went into his apartment to get a few things, before calling for a cab to come.
Getting in the cab, Liao Wei instructed the driver to take them to the district centre where there was a large mall, along with any shop that one could ever need, including a famed barbershop that all the wealthy would go to.
With the cash that Adam had given him, Liao Wei had no problem spending on Adam, but at the same time, he wasn't planning on spending on himself and spending such extravagant amounts was something he didn't feel comfortable with even if he had millions.
As the car neared the destination, Liao Wei began patting at his pockets, trying to find the large roll of money that he was sure he had placed in one of them. Then after a few seconds of frantically looking for money in his pocket, which the cab driver and Adam obviously noticed, Adam chuckled.
Reassuring the annoyed driver that he would pay, Adam then revealed to Liao Wei what had happened.
"I gave you that money to spend on yourself and your mother, so don't try to spend it on me. As you can probably tell, I have more than enough money if I am willing to hand you large sums, so don't worry about it,"
"But what about the money?" asked Liao Wei, who was sure he had taken out a large sum with him from what Adam had given him.
"I have returned it to your apartment without you noticing," said Adam with a smile as he paid the driver and left the car, leaving Liao Wei gobsmacked.
How fast was Adam to be able to take money from his pocket, place it in his apartment and then return to his side without him noticing?
But, considering everything else he had seen, it wasn't too shocking as he led Adam to the barbershop that he had in mind.
Entering the barbershop, Adam sat in the empty seat and instructed Liao Wei to sit in the other empty one beside him.
"But I don't have any..."
"Just sit down. Stop worrying about money and enjoy yourself," said Adam.
"It's time to switch up our styles...."
