After getting confronted by IlCapitano, also known by his codename "The Captain" is one of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers.
The Mercenary found himself in a quite, dire situation at this time....
Adam: "Well... Looks like this won't be a total waste of time after all. Hey, jackass! Didn't your mother ever teach you that's it's not nice to sneak?"
The Captain doesn't say a thing, unamused while Adam adjusts his position preparing to retaliate against him.
Then Adam revs up the Labor of Olympus, heating the blade up, ready to fight the Harbinger.
However Il Capitano did not attack him again, instead he just sheathed his weapon then turned around and walk away.
Adam: "Hey,! What are you--"
Il Capitano: "Defeating you like this has no meaning."
This pissed off the Mercenary greatly.
Adam: "Don't you dare! Look down on me!"
He exclaimed, exploding in anger.
Adam charges to attack the Harbinger but he manages to catch the mercenary's sword with his bare hand. The two are now in a stalemate
Il Capitano: ". . ."
Adam: "Tsk! You--"
Il Capitano: "Get even stronger. After that, we'll settle the matter."
The Fatui Harbinger was able to easily overpower Adam, and launched him in the air as he landed to the ground.
After that Il Capitano just disappeared in front of the Mercenary stands there surprised.
Adam realized now there will be even more stronger enemies out there just waiting out there...

They head back into Liyue Harbor to meet with Atsuko and attempt to ask her how to get into Inazuma.
While she is able to give them an answer, she also warns them of the danger of the trip. She explains that the storm is not the only thing to worry about, as they will also have to worry about the strict isolationist policies and the authorities who will be hot on their trail if they're discovered.
Refusing to be swayed by her warnings, she relents and refers them to Beidou, who may know how to break through the storm owing to her vast experience on the seas.
Wasting no time, the group heads to Guyun Stone Forest where the Alcor, The Crux Fleet's flagship, is anchored.
Beidou disembarks with the Traveler, Adam and Paimon at Ritou before being greeted by Thoma, her business partner. The Captain leaves the trio to his care, since she can't stay around for too long with Kazuha, who is still a wanted fugitive. Thoma later helps them pass the processing center to avoid suspicion given the impossible request and the ridiculous amount of Mora.
