1 In my other life (1)

The chilly north winds howled in the beautiful Canadian village of Canmore. While the beauty of the sun illuminated the whole place from the horizon between the mountains.

"Umhhhh, how good it feels to wake up to this sight." Adam spoke. After waking up in his comfy bed, Adam walked over to his bathroom to wipe his sleepy face. Stumbling from time to time thanks to sleep.

Others would think Adam was stupid to trip over his own feet, but honestly, this amused him. He never felt so free in his entire life as to joke at such hours of the morning.

Being part of a strict squad for many years had forced Adam to wake up each day with his guard up. You never know when an enemy would blow your brains out while you sleep soundly. Adam had to learn the hard way.

But luckily for him, it only took him a year to forget that custom.

After cleaning his awakened face, Adam changed his white pajama clothes. He first withdrew her upper body from him, dazzling his well-built physique. In this, the part of his chest, a large claw-shaped wound covered his skin.

Watching his wound, Adam couldn't help but smile wryly and scoff at his stupidity from long ago.

This wound was "created" ten years ago, the year he was sent on an undercover mission to Africa to confront a terrorist group that was seriously affecting his country. During his mission, he was attacked by a large Lion, resulting in that large wound on his chest.

After being attacked, he had no choice but to terminate his mission and return to his country. Only to be punished.

In addition to the wound on his chest, Adam had many injuries all over his body, from head to toe. Whether by bullets, stabbed, etc. All of these were the result of thousands of battles with his life at stake.

It was one of the few things Adam was proud of. After gazing at his body, Adam changed his clothing to a more comfortable and warm one. Once this was done, he walked into his kitchen and made breakfast for him. Which was about two simple eggs with a little bread.

As Adam savored his delicious breakfast, he couldn't help but exclaim in satisfaction. "Good God, I hope this dream never ends."

After her third bite of his bread, Adam turned on his television and selected the news channel. This was a custom since he moved to Canmore.

His state-of-the-art television didn't take 0.1 seconds to turn on and develop a fully realistic or even better 16k video.

As Adam continued his breakfast, he was staring at the latest news. He couldn't help frowning. "Are you still doing that?" he thought silently.

On the news, an exact photograph of Adam's face could be seen. Dark skin with scars everywhere, a long black mane with white streaks of age, sharp eyes, a defined jaw and a long black beard. Beneath it, lay a headline that read as follows:

"Two years have passed since the retirement of Adam James, considered the strongest member of the famous squad ..."

* Ting *

Before he finished reading the headline, he decided to turn off his television. With a long sigh, he finished his breakfast and went to wash the dishes. After that, he dressed in a coat and left his cabin.

Just as he left, he was greeted by a dazzling lightning bolt in his eyes, followed by the strong winter winds and the chirping of birds. "Well, let's go for a walk."

Adam started walking through the forest trees toward Canmore. Meanwhile, he was checking his cell phone to see his notifications. As always, he was over 99+.

Among all the notifications from him, the only one that caught his attention was that of your bank account.

[Dear @ Adam James, you have received an amount of $ 100,000 from "Roberth Redford". Thanks for trusting us!]

Adam stopped his steps and entered his message APP. There, he could see how he had an unseen message from Roberth. Pulling the gloves off his fingers, Adam began to write.

Roberth: [Oh dear friend, it's been so long since we haven't seen each other. I have sent you some money. I hope we can get in touch soon.]

Adam: [What do you want now?]

After hitting his send button, Adam was about to put away his cell phone before it vibrated in response. Annoyed, he checked his messages.

Roberth: [Don't be like that, my friend, tell me how your life has been in that town.]

Even more annoyed by the attitude of his old partner, Adam decided not to touch his cell phone for the rest of the day. Without first checking his bank account. [Adam James. Balance: $ 4,779,400,345]

"I don't understand the rich man's sense of humor…" James muttered. He put away his cell phone and continued his journey.
