Hunter of Immortals

Chapter 50: Sex Planet

"But the contract states..."

"Did the contract include any finer details? That was just a standard contract. Concepts like degree of cleanse, satisfaction, and the power of the emotional aberrations are all completely subjective. Subjectively, I'm not satisfied with this clean, so according to the contract, I'm well within my rights to only give you 120,000."

"You motherfucker..."

Kim Hee-cho temper finally boiled over, and he began to bicker with Peter.

Even though he was an expert when it came to negotiating contracts, Peter clearly had him beaten when it came to shamelessness.

No matter what he said, Peter was only willing to give 120,000 as compensation, unwilling to pay even an extra cent.

"If you're not happy with the compensation, then you're free to sue me. However, let me remind you that it's extremely difficult to secure evidence from the psychic world, and even if you do win the case, you'll only be getting an additional 30,000, which won't even be enough to cover your legal fees. Just take your 120,000 and get out of here. Neither of us will owe the other anything, and we won't have to waste any more time here, either."

Peter was very calm and placid as he spoke. Having just had all of his emotional baggage cleansed, he was feeling better than ever.

"I understand why you came to us now. I bet you pick out a different psychotherapy clinic each time you get this treatment done!" Kim Hee-cho recalled back to when they first met Peter, and how Peter had told him that he had turned to them as the psychotherapy clinic that he previously went to had raised their prices. With the wisdom of hindsight, Kim Hee-cho realized that this was most likely all a lie. "Are you not worried about the repercussions of making so many enemies out of adapters?"

"I've made too many enemies to count in my life, so it doesn't matter to me if one more gets added to the list," Peter replied with a shake of his head. "Most importantly, I know who I can do this to without having to fear the consequences, and I know who I can't afford to mess with. All of the adapters who run psychotherapy clinics rather than becoming hitmen want to run legitimate businesses, and they're not willing to risk spoiling their reputation over a relatively insignificant sum of money. Also, I always stay away from major organizations."

"You mean like the pawn shop?"

"That's right. The pawn shop may be a legitimate business, but with its reputation, no one dares to mess with it."

"I'm an employee of the pawn shop. This is just a private job that I'm taking on," Adam said in a calm voice.

"You're from the pawn shop? Yeah right, that's a cool story."

"You don't believe me? You're in the finance sector, so you're making important decisions every day. Why don't you make a decision here as to whether I'm telling the truth or not?"

After hearing what Adam had to say, Peter turned to Hook and Kim Hee-cho in order to gauge their reactions to assess the validity of Adam's claim.

This was a very spontaneous turn of events, so they couldn't have had a chance to agree on this ruse. Perhaps the person telling the lie could put on a convincing performance, but there was no way that the other two would've been able to do the same without any reaction time.

What he saw told him that there was a very good chance that Adam had told the truth. There were emotions like anger and vindictive glee in their eyes, but they clearly weren't surprised in the slightest.

"Alright, given that you work for the pawn shop, I can give you an extra 20,000, but that's my limit."

Peter made a concession, and Kim Hee-cho didn't want to have to bicker with him any longer, so the transaction was completed.

After leaving the stock exchange office, Adam cast his gaze toward the neon lights outside with a slightly dazed expression.

"What's wrong?" Kim Hee-cho asked as he stopped and turned around to look at him.

"I'm finally beginning to understand the way that Red Spider does things. She's gone on so many missions, so she has to have encountered far more troublesome people and problems than I have. Every time you encounter something like this, it inevitably changes your personality slight." Adam took a deep breath, then turned back to look at the trading hall. "But I'm still unable to understand this world..."

"What don't you understand?" Hook asked. "He's already given you the money, what else is there to think about?"

"There's a set of standard concepts in my mind." Following Adam's awakening, the only memories in his mind were ones that could be categorized as general knowledge. "There's something in my memories that tells me that everyone should strive to be good people, and that good people will receive good karma, while bad people will be punished..."

"That's what they teach in primary school textbooks. If everyone was a bad person, then this society would've already collapsed long ago. Of course it's better to have more good people in the world," Kim Hee-cho said. "You must be thinking about Peter, right? You must be wondering why he's living such a good life despite the terrible person that he is."

"That's right. Out of everyone I've seen, he's the one living the best life."

Indeed, Peter had money and time, and he could even remove the parts of his emotional framework that he found to be undesirable. He was mentally stable, enjoyed a life of abundance, and he didn't have to face as much pressure as people like Cowboy and May.

"Not only does he have the best life out of everyone I've seen, he's also the one with the personality that disgusts me the most." In that instant, something stirred slightly in Adam's heart, and a twisted anomaly began to slowly arise within his psychic world. "It just doesn't seem fair."

It wasn't fair for the blank slates, it wasn't far for all of the people constantly toiling away for limited financial reward, it wasn't fair for those who had to serve others as cyberliches even in death, and it certainly wasn't fair for Peter to be living such a good life.

In that instant, not only did Adam sense the warping of his own mindset, he also came to realize just how twisted this world was.

After coming into existence in Adam's psychic world, the twisted anomaly immediately began to devour the remnant anomalic power there in a frenzy. All of the undigested anomalic power from the sludge monsters were drawn toward it, and its digestive abilities seemed to be superior to those of Mummy and Hellhound.

At the same time, it began to grow rapidly, spurred on by Adam's twisted mindset in the moment.

"Why are you thinking about these deep, philosophical things? This world has always been unfair to begin with. If you delve too deep into emotions like this, you could easily become a psychic mutant."

"A psychic mutant?"

"That's right, there are a lot of deranged adapters out there. If you don't want to become a psychic mutant, then you have to ease up and do some things that make you happy and relaxed." Hook pulled out the platinum VIP card that Karen had given to him as he spoke, then offered it to Adam. "Give it a try. I've already used it, and it's amazing."

"Er... I'm not interested."

"As long as there's nothing wrong with your body and your sexual orientation, there's no one who wouldn't be interested in something like this."

"I agree, you should give it a try." Kim Hee-cho took a glance at Adam, and he could also tell that there was something off about him. "Don't allow your work pressure to get to you. It's not a big deal, take some time to relax every once in a while."

"Exactly. Why do you think Red Spider is always so into having fun? It's exactly because she's seen too much stuff like this."

"Alright, I'll go take a look later."

After parting ways with Kim Hee-cho, Adam returned to his dormitory. He checked his messages to find that there were none from Karen, and upon Hook's insistence, he put on his helmet and arrived in the Metaverse once again.

After two flashes of light, the two of them arrived at that space station again.

This time, Hook wasted no time with words and immediately input the commands that took them to the Sex Planet.

As soon as they arrived, Adam was completely shocked.

The ground beneath their feet was no longer soft, loamy soil, nor was it a commonplace concrete road. Instead, it was a gargantuan valkyrie, and at this moment, he and Hook were walking on the valkyrie's breast.

The sensation of the valkyrie's body beneath their feet was both soft and elastic, and it was a very bizarre experience for Adam.

Furthermore, there was a strange fragrance wafting through the surrounding air. This fragrance seemed to be able to act directly upon one's brain, stimulating one's sexual desire to an unbearable peak.
