As Adams waited for Akira to give him her answer, he casually opened his system interface, his gaze distant as if he were peering into another world entirely. Within moments, he began sifting through an array of options—specific bloodlines, physiques, cultivation techniques, and manuals—all perfectly suited for Inara. Jarvis, his ever-efficient assistant, quickly filtered out anything unnecessary, presenting Adams with the best choices.
Inara and Akira exchanged puzzled glances, wondering why Adams seemed to be staring into empty space, his expression focused yet oddly detached.
After a few moments, Adams looked up at them, a warm smile crossing his face. "Alright, Inara," he began, his voice calm but carrying an air of authority. "I intended to wait until we returned to the Sect before doing this, but seeing as Akira is still uncertain, I've decided to act now—to show you both that I'm serious."
