Chapter 14 – Adam (9)

Two hours later, Zhang Xun brought Adam out of the Round Table, his back soaked with cold sweat.

His throat seemed to be on fire and his mouth was dry. In order to convince the ten Chiefs to let him continue to tame Adam, he had racked his brains to explain all the observation images and experimental reports of Adam that he had recorded these days and even showed them how Adam had repaired Alloy, trying his best to show how humane this behaviour was.

In the end, he was successful. He could continue to tame Adam, but at the same time, the Round Table assigned a "Security Advisor" to Adam. Zhang Xun must unconditionally give the Security Advisor all the permissions of the Lab, to ensure that the other party can enter anywhere in the Lab at any time to inspect Adam's performance and submit a report every week. Simply put, they stabbed a thorn in Zhang Xun's back.

When Zhang Xun left he was angry. Adam's sudden change of tactic almost put him on the spot and at the same time put himself in danger, which made him extremely angry. With a gloomy face he strode forward without saying a word.

Adam followed obediently and suddenly said, "Are you angry?"

Zhang Xun turned his head and glared at Adam. Because of the Guard soldiers behind him who were escorting Adam back to the Lab, he couldn't say much, he could only whisper, "We'll talk when we get back."

"Ah-Xun!" James came out of the door and called him.

Zhang Xun restrained his anger and looked at James with his usual peaceful expression, "Jamie, what's wrong?"

Adam looked curiously at the tall and handsome man who was approaching them quickly. Due to today's meeting to assess Adam, James, who usually always liked to wear a leather jacket and mountain boots, had put on a formal military uniform for once. His tall and fit figure was set off by the sharp tailoring.

James whispered, "Ah-Xun, don't worry too much about the Security Advisor, I've already applied for this position. Even if I'm not selected, as long as it's a guard, I'll speak to them."

Zhang Xun's heart warmed, but he still smiled bitterly at James, "Thank you, but I don't think they will choose anyone that you and I would hope for and I don't know how long I can remain as Adam's mechanic."

James reached out and squeezed Zhang Xun's shoulder with a strong hand and said in a firm tone, full of optimism and hope, "Don't be discouraged, you're the best mechanic in Lost Paradise. No one is more competent than you, the Chiefs also know this. It's just that you can't be too gentle with Adam in front of others."

Zhang Xun understood what James meant. When the original God Descent Plan had just been formulated there was a certain motive for revenge. Their plan was to torture and control the descended Eden, treating it like a slave. However, over time, a few mechanics, including Zhang Xun's mentor, did not agree with this approach. They believed that if they wanted to control and use Eden, blind violence and malice would not bring any benefits, on the contrary, it might solidify the "male image" that Eden.

It was a pity that this idea was only popular among a few mechanics after all. and most of them were military civilian researchers and mechanics who still wanted to enslave Adam. They had learned from Michael's exaggeration that Zhang Xun hadn't laid a finger on Adam and he kept Adam pampered in the Lab, letting him live a better life than the average person. Of course this would arouse strong dissatisfaction and a demand that the mechanic be replaced.

Adam's act of killing the prisoner also added fuel to the fire.

Zhang Xun nodded and sighed, "I'll think about it seriously."
