Hunter of Immortals

Chapter 330: Husband

The furnishings in the cannibal restaurant were very luxurious, taking great inspiration from the ancient Byzantine style.

The walls were riddled with complex patterns, while the tables and chairs were marked with intricate engravings. In addition to that, there were all types of elaborate ornaments present in the restaurant, further contributing to the sense of luxury and opulence.

These extravagant furnishings were a clear indication that the club was very profitable.

Those who wanted to join this cannibal club had to pay a very expensive monthly membership fee, and an additional fee also had to be paid for each special event that was attended.

Thankfully, even though there weren't many top-tier tycoons among these cannibalistic fiends, but the majority of the club's members were wealthier than the average person. They acted without any morals, nor any regard for rules and the law. Due to their radical nature, most of them found themselves either killed, locked up in prison, or becoming rich.

After entering the restaurant, Adam approached the three psychic mutants before asking in a low voice, "Are you alright? You don't feel uncomfortable or anything?"

"Why would we feel uncomfortable?"

The three psychic mutants turned to Adam with puzzled expressions.

Adam immediately realized that his concerns were completely unnecessary. He suddenly recalled that back when he had first met them in the psychic battle royale, they had told him that they had eaten their fourth team member.

Even though they had only consumed a psychic body in there, it was clear that this was something that they had done in real life as well.

Having spent so much time with them, Adam was reflexively beginning to see them as normal people, but it was clear that this was not the correct mindset. The three psychic mutants were on friendly terms with Adam, but they completely detested the rest of humanity.

Hence, they had truly enjoyed that feast of human brains, and there was no performative element to their display of cannibalism.

With that in mind, Adam didn't say anything further.

Meanwhile, Shae was constantly gulping down saliva. It was clear that she was feeling extremely nauseous, and that she was doing everything in her power to prevent herself from throwing up.

"Distract yourself," Adam said as he bumped Shae on the shoulder. "What are we going to do next?"

In reality, Adam had already had a plan that he was going to follow, and he was only raising these questions to Shae to distract her from the situation that she was in.

.

Shae gulped down another mouthful of gastric acid, then looked around to find that a few other guests had already arrived. Aside from those guests, there were also servers busy at work in the restaurant.

"All of these people are completely messed up!"

"I agree, but I'm sure they're all messed up to different degrees, so their psychic anomalies will also vary in power. If only I could hunt down all of their anomalies at once."

"That's not going to be possible," Shae sighed with a shake of her head, finally turning her focus to the task at hand.

Indeed, it wasn't going to be possible to hunt down the anomalies of all of the restaurant's diners. There were defense measures set up here, and if Adam were to drag everyone into his psychic world at once using his mechanical neuron electrical synapse transmitter, then he was sure to be overwhelmed.

With so many anomalies of varying levels gathered in one place, Adam didn't possess the power to take them on all at once.

"What should we do?"

"We'll target the stragglers, then do our best to gather information on the members of the club."

While Adam was speaking, someone else entered the restaurant, and judging from the timing, he was most likely one of the people on the boat behind the one that Adam and his group had taken.

Adam took a glance at the man to find that he was in a disguise, making it impossible for Adam to glean his true appearance.

In fact, virtually all of the people in the restaurant were in disguise. The butler didn't care about that. As long as these people could pass the test, they would be welcomed with open arms. After all, there were many people here who were considered to be normal people in society. Some of them even had families of their own, and even though they were all extremely twisted and demented individuals, no one wanted to expose the ugliest side of themselves for others to see.

There weren't many people in the restaurant at the moment, so Adam could only quietly observe and wait for an opportunity to strike.

As time slowly passed, and day began to transition into night, more and more people appeared in the restaurant. By the time several dozen patrons had entered the restaurant, the atmosphere was beginning to heat up and become more lively.

Some people were conversing with one another, while some snacks and beverages were being brought out by the servers.

These people were waiting for their prey, and Adam was also searching for his target.

He was walking around the rest with a glass of lemonade in his hand, and a steak just so happened to be brought out right as he arrived beside a woman. This was one of the main dishes of the day.

"That's my husband!" the woman said to Adam in an excited voice.

"Is that right?" Someone was finally striking up a conversation with him, and Adam wasn't going to pass up this opportunity. "I'll definitely have to give him a taste."

The woman nodded eagerly in response, and it was clear that the prospect of tasting her husband with another man was something that greatly appealed to her.

After arriving at this realization, Adam began to purposefully guide the conversation while using his adapter abilities to fool the woman into thinking that he was also enjoying the meal with her.

The more the two of them chatted, the closer they became, and by the time the steak was finished, the woman was already itching to take this conversation elsewhere.

Adam could tell that the woman was ripe for the picking, and he suggested, "Should we take this conversation somewhere private?"

"My thoughts exactly!" the woman said as she latched onto Adam's hand and led him to the staircase leading to the second floor.

There were private rooms for the guests to rest in on the second floor, and as a regular at the club, she was naturally aware of this.

Adam took a glance at Shae in silence, and after discovering that she was already watching him, he followed the woman up the staircase.

Shae was in the process of speaking to someone else, and she quickly disengaged herself from the conversation.

"I'm sorry, I have to go."

She then made her way over to the three psychic mutants, who were thoroughly enjoying the feast.

She took a disdainful glance at them, and the three psychic mutants immediately caught her.

"Hey, your brother may be our friend, and we've fought alongside each other in the past, but that doesn't mean that you can look at us like that," Mole protested.

"This is the first time, so we'll let you off the hook with a warning. If you do it again, don't blame us for turning on you," Rabbit chimed in. "We're just eating some meat here, what's the big deal? Our telegnosis is way sharper than yours, so don't go around giving us snide looks."

In the end, it was Armadillo who had to step in to defuse the situation.

"Come on, guys, she's our brother's sister, so she's half a sister to us as well. Adam's already gone upstairs, we should go and help him. If we encounter another anomaly like the one from last time, he's definitely not going to be able to deal with it on his own."

"Alright, let's go."

After swallowing the meat in their mouths, the three psychic mutants made their way up to the second floor.

Upon reaching the second floor, it only took a few turns before Shae and the psychic mutants completely lost sight of Adam. The second floor had far better privacy than the first floor, and the available field of view here was very narrow.

Thankfully, their sharp telegnosis, coupled with the subtle signs that Adam had intentionally left behind for them, allowed them to quickly track down the room that he was in.

By the time they opened the door and entered the room, Adam had already knocked the woman unconscious and laid her down onto the bed.

"Let's make this quick so we can go after as many targets as possible today. Shae, lock the door and stand on lookout duty. In the meantime, I'll get started in here."

"No. I get put on lookout duty every time. I need to fight as well so I can grow stronger too."

"Alright, then you keep a lookout, Rabbit."

"Sure thing. I'm stuffed right now, so I wanted to rest anyway," Rabbit said as she sat down in a corner of the room. "Rest assured, if anyone dares to enter the room, I'll kill them right away! Then again, I don't think anyone would just barge in here anyway."
