As John and the others left through the main gates of the Alliance Headquarters, he couldn't help but stare at someone standing directly outside the gates with his head bowed. John raised an eyebrow as he inspected Kadin, the Starforge Clan genius, who stood there as if he were nothing but a servant.

"Follow us," Adam instructed, which Kadin immediately did as he was told and followed behind, his head still bowed down to the ground. 

"I have to admit, I never thought someone like Kadin would allow a slave-contract to be planted on his soul," John said, although he felt no sympathy for Kadin, as this outcome was the consequence of his own actions. 

"What did you do to make him accept the slave-contract?" John asked Adam curiously.

He could tell that Adam had matured greatly since his 'death' in the Jade Dragon Empire Realm. He carried himself with much more self-confidence, and no longer seemed like a miscreant childlike before.
