"Was it you who killed these triads alone?" asked the girl who had a man in a black suit behind her.
Her voice was so casual as she asked Adam whether or not he killed the triad members and he didn't know how to react to her attitude.
From the way she stood and spoke she was clearly arrogant and felt as though she was above him, but she also didn't show any hostility or desire to kill him, so he still had a chance.
"Yes, it was me. I didn't like what they were doing, so I killed them" answered Adam directly.
He didn't want to offend them, but also didn't want to grovel beneath their feet, so spoke directly and respectfully.
Adam was a good judge of character, and although seemed to be quite absent-minded and ignorant most of the time with his friends, that was merely how he wanted to seem.
