God of Crime: Strongest Mafia Boss

502 CH 486: CHANGE OF PLAN

Once Adam was finished with his inspection, he looked at Medusa quietly, "In a few hours, I will board the plane heading for Paris, anything you want to tell me?"

Medusa wiped away the blood that was present on her instrument. Now that she fully understood what Adam was and could talk with him without having to erase her own memories in a constant cycle to prevent the gods of her Pantheon from knowing everything, there were new options for her— avenues she could tread and a variety of options she could take and do some of her own studies.

One of the studies, of course, was the effect of Adam's blood on living organisms and simultaneously organisms of a supernatural nature. She had received enough blood from him to start the testing phase on a few lab rats as soon as possible. There were enough test subjects for her to yield sufficient results from this avenue.

Outside of the tests and the results they wield, there were many more small advantages to this endeavor. Medusa had a feeling that Adam's blood hid a profound secret within it, the secret of the Primoginetors. Well, this wasn't something so improbable that some feelings were necessary but she knew that his blood held the key to many of the mysteries she desired to unveil.

Perhaps…

"From what I have seen of your blood. You are still human. Just… different than your average human. Better, in a way, I guess?"

It was hard for her to accurately put the words together. However, she had observed and analyzed the blood of many Earthly Supernatural beings over the centuries of her existence and she knew that even though they looked like humans – their blood was, in fact, extremely close to that of a human – they were ultimately not human at the very core.

"Adam… Do you think you can perhaps break the limit of your body? The limit of humanity?"

Adam clearly did not tell her everything about his capabilities or his other secrets. He still had many mysteries hidden deep and this stance was perfectly normal of him. Similar to him, she had also been keeping secrets— secrets she was not willing to share with just anyone. At the end of the day, they had only known each other for less than two months. It would be quite weird if they could already share everything about themselves to each other.

"Sigh~ Professor, seems like you are avoiding my question."

"Well… Heh. There is not much I can say. I do not know what will happen if you go to Paris. What I do know though, is that if you don't… Paris will most likely be wiped out of the map."

She shrugged her shoulders, holding her small knife like she was caressing a gentle and fragile baby cat,

"The Fate of Paris is vague, too vague, but I see a big calamity incoming. Sadly, I can not see deeper into Fate so you will have to try things by yourself and see to it."

"What if me going is what caused the calamity?"

Medusa shrugged again, "That is also a possibility. This is why we warned the hunters going to Paris that something devastating may happen on this mission. But for many, since the Blind Saint has chosen to keep her quiet, this is just a diversion tactic from America to reap the artifacts without any other country intervening on this trip."

"The Blind Saint is the Zodiac of Virgo, right?"

"Yes. A powerful seer in her own right. Honestly, without my innate powers, I am most likely weaker than her when it comes to divination."

"And she found nothing?"

"Strange, right?"

A low laugh escaped her lips. At the end of the day, people underestimated how vicious or rather callous a Seer could be.

They might think that a seer would try to stop all bad things from happening in the world and in a way they were right.

Seers who first obtained their gift to glance at Fate would do everything to change things for the better. At least this would be the case until they went and became traumatized by their first self-realized prophecy and they would become quiet and subdued in their approach.

By then they would start observing futures and analyzing which could be changed and how to change them, while giving up on those that would be unable or too steep a price to pay to change and discard them. No one could even complain as seers are not omniscient themselves.

"I have another bad news for you. Well, this isn't bad news in a way. It depends on how you view things."

"What happened this time?"

"Well, this is about your mission. Your team members have changed somewhat."

"Huh?"

"Heh… You will have to see for yourself. I do not want to spoil the fun."

Adam was starting to feel uneasy about the change. It seemed like some serious weird shit was about to happen and there was not much he could do about it.

"Will it negatively affect the mission?"

"No. Well. Not exactly? Everything will depend on how you lead them."

"I can already feel a certain level of headache coming my way."

"Heh… It will be fun. At least for me."

It went without saying that she was a being that was infinitely in love with chaos.

In fact, in this situation, the truly unlucky one was not Adam. She smirked as she thought of a name on the new list.

'Poor girl. I hope she doesn't have a cardiac arrest because of what will happen.'

Thinking so, Medusa laughed once again.

AN: Hi! How are you? I apologize for the late but for the last few days, I have been mad busy with some contract discussions. I already announced this on my Server but wanted to share it here. Long story short, I officially terminated the contract of SHK with Webnovel and got back the full right. More precisely share a story.

SHK will go back to being a non-contracted story. However, I will eventually start publishing myself on Amazon KU, etc. Normally the take down should happen by the end of this month. I will see. You can join my Patreon and read SHK if you are interested. I plan to start publishing the free chapter on my website/Scribble/Royal Road in the next month. GoC will stay exclusively on WN.

Speaking of which it's funny. GoC joined WN on the 4th December 2022. Now SHK officially terminated the contract on the 4th December 2023)
