I know this is more a setback than a crippling blow to her plans, but Salem doesn't like it if her pawns setback her plans at all. Exactly. HE SPEAKS THE TRUTH.

Adam has very little in the way of usefulness for Salem's Goals, his only asset being the WF. As Ilia put it, most of the Remaining Cells will not follow a Leader who abandons his own followers shortly after trying to blow them all up, leaving the group divided.

Unfortunately for us though, he will probably still have some followers. Word of Mouth doesn't travel too fast, and its the only way the cells not on Anima will learn of his actions with the CCT being down. So any troops left in Vale, and spies in Atlas (If there are any that haven't been found out yet), and any members they may have in Vacuo won't know about it yet. The only ones he'll lose are the Mistral cells, and thats only if they find out too, as only the ones that were arrested or Ghira and his new group can tell them, and the latter they are unlikely to believe.

So, with Adam looking like he's tailing Hazel and Mercury, it seems that he plans on following them to Salem's base on what is assumedly the Dragon Continent. Unless he can convince her of his little use, using the remaining the members loyal to him or serving her directly, he'll probably be killed on sight. Even then, that requires he swallow his pride and psychosis and willingly work alongside humans (He only worked with Cinder because she threated to make Barbeque Bull, and with Hazel because he needed a go between him and Salem for his own goals).

So at the moment, Adam has little chance of being useful to Salem, and she is more likely to desire the elimination of loose ends/potential malfactors to her plans, and probably will send Grimm and Tyrian after him. Adam's goose is cooked.
