Adams walked out of the house.
He still had to appear at the banquet, after all, it was under the pretense of attending the birthday banquet that he conspired with George.
The person who contributed the most to his successful ascent as a cardinal was Mr. Lite, who had given him a huge private "donation"; the next was George's help.
It was actually George who came to him first; they talked about many things behind closed doors, including George helping the Primordial Flame Church faction represented by him expand in Ingris, in exchange for the Primordial Flame Church changing many of its old habits.
These included indiscriminately hunting non-human intelligent species, capturing and killing heretics.
Adams naturally accepted.
He himself did not like those stubborn traditions, not to mention that Adams did not submit to the existing structure and factions of the Primordial Flame.
