God of Crime: Strongest Mafia Boss

?Inside the plane headed for Paris, on the first-class section, both Adam and Tsubasa were sitting together while Makoto and Mark were seated on the other side, and Elysia was sitting in the front with Luvia at her side. The seats were lavish and housed 2 persons per section.

Their seatings weren't exactly random, spread out in such a manner that they could react instantaneously no matter what situation they may find themselves in if they were to be compromised. However, everything was ultimately useless as the whole plane and an extension of more than a mile in diameter in a spherical dome was under Adam's control, coming under the range of his domain.

If he just willed it, he could completely crush this plane to pieces, put a lifelike illusion in the heads of the pilots, or even change the flight path with just a simple mental command. This was quite literally his domain now.

The passengers in the first class were interesting in their own ways. Outside of a few obviously rich children from wealthy families, and some entrepreneurs, there were also a few members from the supernatural side of the world.

They were all hunters, making Adam wonder if they were also trying to get into Paris and test their luck. After all, while they were the official team designated for the mission, Adam very much doubted that the upper echelons of the United States of America would only send a single team if they really wished to gain control over the Divine Weapon.

"Should we incapacitate them?"

Tsubasa asked, knowing fully well that Adam was already controlling all the sounds that were being circulated inside the plane as well as the light particles. It was impossible for anyone to hear them or even read on their lips for that matter, unless Adam willed it of course.

"Don't mind them. They are of no importance."

Adam didn't really care how many people came after the weapon. In fact, he believed that it was good for there to be a large crowd. Numbers was meaningless against him in the first place and the more weaklings tagged along, the more cannon fodder he could have at his disposal when it came to the mission itself.

Adam had little to no consideration for the hunters. They were not innocent people, nor were they good-natured heroes. They were all mercenaries with more than just a small amount of blood on their hands; he had a good assumption of the endless greed that fuelled these hunters.

If they died in the incoming conflict, they could only blame themselves for willingly choosing to come to this dangerous place.

"Very well."

Tsubasa nodded, immediately losing interest in the hunters and simply gazed at Adam silently,

"Anything on my face?"

"No. I am just happy to be seated with you like this."

"Hum… You are truly easily satisfied. Not worried I will abuse it?"

"I don't mind. I already told you I am yours to use as you wish."

Tsubasa chuckled as she held his hand, intertwining his fingers with hers. "But you have to be careful, you know? After all, I am quite a dangerous woman. I might attack you in your sleep."

"Heh, then I guess you will have to taste the bitterness of disappointment."

After all, his curse didn't allow him to sleep nowadays, not in the traditional sense at least. Not that it mattered much anyways. He had never felt more awake than he did now, feeling that his mind had reached a new level of enlightenment. Adam had the distinct feeling that, soon, he would be able to one of the external chakra pathways— be it the Earth Star Chakra or the Soul Star Chakra.

No matter which Chakra pathway he opened, it would be the moment when his powers took a qualitative leap to a whole new dimension. He didn't know how strong he would become, but he might finally reach a level where he was nearly unbeatable or at least close to it.

[Don't inflate your ego too much…]

'Heh, do not worry. I am just hyping myself up. Gotta have something to look forward to don't you think?'

Adam chuckled, but he felt his glee die down when he felt Tsubasa inching closer towards him.

The seats they had chosen were a mix between beds and seats. You could basically extend it to make them into comfy beds to sleep on as well as blinders that would cover you from the other passengers. It gave a certain level of privacy but not enough like a cabin or something similar. This was more akin to couple seats than anything else.

"Since you are not going to sleep… Perhaps we should try something else?"

Her hand crept a little toward his thighs but did not go down too far, "I wonder. Since you want to use me, why not use my body as well?"

"Tsubasa…"

"My beloved Adam, ever so kind you are. You say you want to use me as a tool but in the end, you do not do anything that warrant those words."

She smiled as she took her hand away, "I am going to rest a little. Wake me up if you wish to join the Miles High Club. Having my first time in the air would be an interesting experience I think."

Adam sighed and shook his head, "I won't lie, with my short experience, you are triggering so many death flags it's mind-

boggling."

"Death flags, huh?"

Tsubasa, who was about to close her eyes muttered. "You know, I believe that death is not the true end. In fact, it's just another beginning."

"What do you mean?"

She shrugged and closed her eyes, "You will understand soon. At the very least for me, death might be something I cannot escape from if I wish to stay with you forever."

No other words leaked out of her lips as she slipped into the land of dreams.

Watching her sleep, Adam mused a little by himself. Even though he said that he wouldn't sleep, he might need to do something similar.

"Makoto."

"Yes."

"Protect me."

"Understood."

A simple exchange but Adam knew that this was the easiest way to converse with Makoto.

With that done, Adam took a deep breath and closed his eyes. His Prana focused and started sending a small pulse toward the chess piece in his soul.

It was time to pay another visit to the Dreamscape.

He had a succubus to meet after all.
