All Novel Full Chapter 400 - Outrageous Expectations
"We will take on any task you set and reach any target. As long as we can become stronger, more dependable and more capable, we will do anything. Protecting our territory, strengthening our faction and taking on any enemy threatening the peace we are maintaining all need us to become more powerful. You are our leader any task you have for us will be fulfilled" all of the leaders of the faction stated in unison.
Hearing that, Adam had a proud and glad expression, happy that his friends that he had placed as the leaders of the faction had not only met his expectations, but surpassed them and also still had much more untapped potential.
"I would expect nothing else from the leader's of the Sentinels Faction. My task is simple and each of you must complete my task to prove your worth as leaders of the faction"
"The task is for all of you to at least breakthrough into the Master Cultivation Level and stabilise your cultivation level. With the resources, manuals and facilities that will be available to all of you, this is a minimum for all of you to achieve and along with that, I want all 4 of you to enter the top 10,000 rankings" announced Adam, shocking them all greatly.
The task itself was outrageous and even if he gave most cultivators their entire life, they would be unable to achieve such things, yet Adam made the task even more difficult.
"The deadline for this is 6 months and while cultivating, training, researching and improving, there are other things I would also like to be done" added Adam..
It was an unbelievable expectation and target for him to set, but despite that, none of them doubted themselves.
They felt as though Adam's support and the pressure of his leadership would be enough for them to take on any task and they all noted down everything he said and planned to even surpass the targets he had set for them.
"I want a headquarters to be built and our faction to be established around the country. The headquarters should be an impenetrable base around the mountainous area and underground tunnels and long with secret passageways should be made around the country. Enemies will come our way in the future and other organisations trying to steal our resources, methods and valuables, so we can only prepare ourselves for the worst and create a safe haven and central area for our members"
"To become established around the country, force may be necessary, but I am sure that most organisations will gladly join us and as long as their leader forms a blood contract with you, leave the governing to them. As soon as the faction is up and running, you should pass around responsibility to those you have formed a blood contract with and become more passive leaders like me. Everything should be reviewed and monitored, but basic leadership and running of the faction can be left to others, while you guys deal with important matters and become as powerful as you can" he continued, with each of them nodding their heads as he spoke.
"As long as capable, powerful and responsible cultivators abide by the rules you set and form a blood contract with you, show them how to form blood contracts with others, so all their subordinates are loyal. This way, the entire country's cultivators and power will be under our faction. This will make it so that our protection and our information network, resources and assets will be incredibly large, and enough to protect the country from all outside threats"
"This is the first step to our plans and as leaders, you must have Charisma and demand respect and reverence from all your subordinates, and also those that are outside the faction. You must hold your heads high and become powerful, capable and knowledgable enough to represent me and the faction"
His words bore great weight and all of them felt large amounts of pressure, but also ambition, drive and excitement.
"We will meet your target and won't let you down" they all vowed as they bowed to Adam slightly.
"Don't bow to me, that's weird. We are friends and peers" he said to them.
He wanted loyalty and respect, but they were still his friends and Adam didn't like to walk over the pride and force individuals into submission unless they were his enemies.
Humiliation was something he couldn't stand and Adam would never bow his head or submit to anyone other than his master and aunt, so he expected the same from them.
"We are leaders that want respect and reverence, but our subordinates and those within our territory are also people. Empathy is something that I don't want you guys to lost, but against your enemies, strike them down without any mercy or remorse"
With that, he had said to them everything he needed to say.
"Prepare the transportation of all your secret methods, manuals and valuables to the secret base that you have the location of. Place your palm and the cliff face that you will feel is calling to you and it will open up for you, while your subordinates will be unable to follow you in or see it, so you must take everything in alone. You can look around and transport Cole's valuables as well, because Cole and I have something to do for the rest of the day" instructed Adam.
"I will meet you guys at the secret base tonight and you can begin making preparations for the building of the headquarters, and also do not keep a record of anything within the secret base as that is meant to be secret and private. It shouldn't be known to anyone but us and all resources needed should be used without thinking twice. We can always get more resources, but our time is of the essence and we should improve ourselves as much as we can" he added to them before preparing to leave.
They all began doing as he instructed, making phone calls and also preparing to leave, while Adam looked over to Cole to see that he was clearly not looking forwards to seeing Emma and Sarah.
