Complete Change

Threatened, Adam's mind was working at incredible speeds and within seconds had planned the best plan of action in this predicament.

"All of you bear witness that I am a customer and have done nothing wrong and if anything occurs, I cannot be blamed," announced Adam to the crowd.

Adam knew that in his current state, he wasn't above the law as his strength, wealth and status were not at such a high level, so he would need to teach the guard a lesson, while still being the victim according to the law.

As the guard heard this, he felt disrespect by the slim youth in front of him who dared to announce that he could harm him.

The size difference was immense, with Adam being average height at around 175 cm and the guard being around 2 metres with his large muscular body.

They stood a metre away from each other and with an opportunity to assert dominance on who he thought was a harmless homeless youth, the guard launched a fist at Adam's face.

Adam's mind was alert, prepared and had planned to take out the guard without there being any hard evidence.

Having already looked around him, he saw that none of the people in the small crowd were recording as what they thought was thievery was normal in Brooklyn.

With his now boosted sensory ability and mental power, he had found a blind spot between the two cameras which were watching the entrance of the store, and they would mostly rely on the trained security guards and most of the time wouldn't need cameras.

With his hunter mind, both his reflexes and combat instincts were unrivalled.

Ducking under the fist, Adam moved to the right and stood in the blind spot of the cameras.

The guard was even angrier and furiously charged at Adam.

Observing the guard's attacks, Adam realised just how much of a weakness emotions were in battle.

The guard launched another wild fist at Adam who stood there unfazed by the giant attacking him.

Waiting until the moment the fist was about to strike his head, Adam grabbed the arm and pulled the guard towards him.

Despite the gap in strength, Adam was using the guard's momentum against him and as the guard fell downwards, Adam launched his fist into the man's temple.

Falling with so much force then to be struck in the head by a fist, the guard was instantly knocked out and stumbled backwards.

In a matter of instants, the guard had collapsed and the youth with long black hair had walked away into the store.

The small crowd were shocked by what happened, but all dispersed in seconds as fights were common in a rough area like Brooklyn and didn't really care about the outcome, so nobody called the police, leaving the guard lying there unconscious.

Nobody really understood or saw what happened clearly, apart from a girl who was watching from the upper level of the store.

"What an interesting man, he might be more mysterious than his outward appearance lets on" observed the girl with a curious smile.

"Do not interfere with the situation" ordered the girl to the figure behind her who spoke into his transmitter to spread the order to the rest of the workers to not intervene and leave the youth alone.

Adam didn't want to draw unwanted attention and quickly chose three all plain black tracksuits, underwear, socks and shirts, two pairs of plain black trainers and a large duffel bag.

Adam went for plain and comfortable clothing and made sure they were all black.

Ignoring all the looks he was receiving from the people within the store he quickly bought the clothing and left the store as quickly as he could.

Stepping over the guard's body, Adam left the store, and despite being surprised that nothing happened, he still hurriedly left, not asking for trouble.

All meanwhile he was being watched by the girl on the upper floor.

"Have a picture of his face and if he enters any of the Maxwell businesses keep tabs on him and make sure another situation like this doesn't repeat itself" ordered the girl to the figure stood behind her.

The calm nature of Adam and the way he defeated the security guard who was a previous soldier and had military training and would easily be able to defeat a normal person, was surprising to see in what seemed to be a homeless man.

Meanwhile, Adam was planning what to do next and knew he had to prepare a place for himself to safely sleep when he goes into the dungeon.

Adam paid entry into a public shower and had a long shower and changed into his new clothes.

Taking the shoelace from his old shoes, he tied up his long and slick black hair and he threw the rest of his old clothing in the trash.

Adam had a complete change in temperament, appearance and confidence.

He went from a homeless, dirty, disrespected and unhealthy youth, to now wearing a plain black tracksuit and black trainers which went well with his slick long black hair and now had a calm and confident temperament.

Looking at himself in the mirror he was happy with the way he looked and it was all the same as it was, but just improved apart from his eyes that were now red and calm.

His change in eye colour didn't faze him and overall he had only spent a few hundred dollars leaving him over 6000 dollars to spend on what he needed, and he had made all that money in his sleep in one night.

[I have fixed myself up, now to get a phone and sort out a living arrangement].

He found that just because of the way he looked, he was treated much differently and received smiles or looks of desire from females, which he just ignored and made him realise just how naive people were.

Despite the hot weather, Adam had his hood up and felt that having people around him was only a burden and an extra responsibility that he didn't need.

The hunter mind had affected him to the point the natural way he acted was different, although he was still the same person, he now saw everything from a survival and battle perspective.

He walked around the market area of Brooklyn until he found a phone store.

As he went inside the phone store, on first glance the shop owner grabbed the gun under his desk and was prepared to protect his store.

It didn't go unnoticed by the youth in the black clothing that was covering his face, but from the man's frantic sweating and shaking hands, Adam knew he didn't mean harm.

Adam knew that although he was now above average in combat, he was far from bulletproof or being able to dodge bullets.

Taking off his hood to show that he didn't have bad intentions, it eased the tension as he chose a simple phone and paid with his card, then left straight afterwards.

Adam had chosen not to buy a smartphone, not because he wanted to save money, but because he hadn't used one in 3 years and felt that it could be used to track him.

Once again his natural hunter instincts had made him choose the phone that was untraceable.

With his hood back on Adam searched the local area calmly for almost an hour and finally found a real estate company in the distance.

"Maxwell Real Estate, the same as the store I liked, let's hope I am not stopped again" mumbled Adam as he headed towards it.
