Chapter 403: Controlling Your Emotions

While Adam and Cole sat silently in the back of the taxi as they neared the residence of Sarah and Emma, a sudden angry voice resounded throughout his mind.

"What do you mean you don't have space in your heart for a lover?!" exclaimed Ava.

Adam chuckled as he entered his mindscape and faced the pouting beauty that resided within his mind and was the spokesperson of the system.

"Don't worry Ava, you already have your space in my heart and once I am able to get you a physical body and separate you from the system, you will finally be free and able to truly live. When that happens the Lone Hunter will finally gain a capable and beautiful companion to explore and hunt with him" reassured her Adam.

Hearing that, she blushed and could tell that he was being honest and truly felt that way since they were both emotionally, mentally and spiritually linked.

"For now I have a lot of things I need to do, but I haven't forgotten about you. It is likely I will be unable to fulfil my promise to you in the Mortal Realms, but I won't give up on finding a way for you to have a body" 

"As long as you didn't and don't forget, I will wait as long as it takes," she responded as Adam left his mindscape and regained consciousness.

Cole paid the taxi fare and Adam and Cole walked over to the small house that Emma and Sarah were able to buy with their own money, not wanting to rely on Adam or Cole or live in their residences.

As they neared the door, Cole took a deep breath and Adam couldn't help but be amused by Cole's behaviour that one would never expect from a powerful cultivator that was one of the leaders of a rising Cultivation Faction.

However, he knew that with more experience and with time, the pressure and cruel world of cultivators will force Cole into becoming a more wise, mature and composed individual.

As they reached the door it was clear that Cole was hesitant to ring the doorbell, so Adam did it for him and a few seconds after the doorbell was rung, a familiar voice came out of the speaker beside it.

"Who is it?"

"I have a delivery for Sarah. Is that you?" asked Adam.

Hearing that Cole didn't know whether to laugh or cry, while Sarah requested him to wait a moment and she opened the door a minute later to accept the parcel.

What she didn't expect was to see a handsome man with sharp features, a sharp jawline and frightening red eyes along with slicked-back black hair that was tied into a small ponytail.

The man's figure was lean, but clearly muscular even though he wore loose clothing and the same could say for the figure of the other individual beside him.

Sarah instantly recognised and it was very hard to mistake the unique appearance of Adam for someone else, and instantly went in for a hug, but she stopped herself.

She swung her a slap towards her face and it seemed to move in slow motion to Cole and Adam who were extremely quick.

While she did so she had her eyes closed and Cole watched Adam to see whether he would avoid or dodge it, but to his surprise, Adam didn't move at all and allowed the palm to connect with the side of his face.

However, Sarah was the one that ended up being hurt and there wasn't a sign of Adam being hit on his face and he also didn't flinch or move in the slightest.

"Why do you hit me? What did I do?" asked Adam with a smile on his face.

Cole couldn't comprehend how the individual who would kill anyone for daring to go against him, his faction or mess around in his territory to allow himself to be slapped without reason.

'Is the leader of the Sentinels Faction really the same as the relaxed and goofy Adam before me that is always laughing and smiling?' thought Cole to himself as he observed what was happening.

Sarah had tears in her eyes and turned around and returned inside, while she had left the door open and needed to calm down, surprised by the sudden appearance of Adam and unable to control her emotions.

"There is no need to be shocked. You need to be in control of your emotions and not become a slave to your emotions and desires. Instead, you should control them and use them as fuel to increase your power or surpass your limits" stated Adam, seeing that Cole was surprised by how Adam was acting.

"Getting angry over such small things would be a waste of my time and energy. Here is a prime example of what happens when you cannot control your emotions. Only by understanding your thoughts, desires and emotions and how to control and use them can you truly become powerful" he said before following Sarah into the house.

"I will just let myself in then" announced Adam as he entered the house and took off his shoes.

It was a clean and cosy home that could house up to 5 people and had a modern and colourful design.

"What is going on?" asked Emma as she ran down the stairs while Adam lay comfortably on their sofa without a care in the world.

She came down to see Sarah covering her face and trying to calm down along with Cole standing outside the door, deep in thought about what Adam had just said to him.

"What the hell is he doing here and what is going on?" exclaimed Emma who was baffled by what was going on and why Cole was standing at the door.

She then looked over at her open living room to find a male lying on her sofa and initially, she wanted to scream in shock, but then she realised who it was, and didn't know how to react or what to feel.
