Chapter 408: Long Way To Go

"Damn it, those evil bastards. It seems that I underestimated how capable they were. They have Space Crystals and must already know everything about me and all my movements. Were they toying with me from the start?" cursed Adam as he slammed his fist into the ground and caused the entire house to shake.

His aunt was placed in a coma because of them in the first place and they had been secretly drawing her blood and from many other patients to use for their evil practices.

If Adam hadn't saved her at the time he did, she would have died and then her organs would have been sold, while her dead body was likely to also be used for their evil cultivation methods.

It wasn't just his aunt, it was thousands of people in their country alone and Adam had already told Elizabeth and the others about the Evil Organisation in the shadows.

He had told her to try to get as much information as she could about them, but other than a name, she wasn't able to find anything else.

When it came to interrogating individuals she found affiliated with them, they would either kill themselves or know nothing, making it so that it felt as though they didn't exist at all and were merely an urban legend.

Getting up, Adam calmed down and brushed the debris off his clothes before setting the entire house on fire and leaving.

He didn't want to leave any traces of Emma and Sarah leaving to join the Blood Moon Group, and until they knew more about what had happened and where they could find them, it was best for them to be assumed dead by the government.

Their life was about to change massively and Adam was disappointed by them for willingly going with an individual that was clearly evil, but there was nothing he could do about it and he needed to stay calm.

Cole arrived a short while after and saw the fire around the house, and could tell that it was Adam that set the house on fire from the colour, aura and burning speed of the flame.

Without asking about what had happened, Cole flew towards the blazing flames, wanting to see what had happened and if Emma and Sarah were there, and it was clear that he was panicking.

Adam jumped up into the air and grabbed his arm before he did and threw him to the ground, knowing that Cole would be unable to stay calm when it came to Emma.

"What happened!" he wailed as he burst towards Adam and grabbed his shirt.

"Where is she? You were meant to protect her" 

His frantic and wild behaviour made it clear to Adam that he wasn't in the right state of mind.

"Get your hands off me"

Adam's words were quiet and calm, but stern as he took Cole's arms off him.

"Calm down you idiot. Let's leave here and we can talk about it later" said Adam, sensing that people were beginning to gather because of the fire and smoke.

"No, I want to know. You fuc....." Cole had gone completely crazy.

He had just gotten on good terms and back together with Emma after being unable to do so for so long, but now she seemed to have died in a fire due to Adam and he was unable to think straight.

It should have been obvious to him that Adam would never do such a thing, but he was unable to think logically.

Adam swiftly struck the back of his neck and for Colour to attempt to attack him, it was clear that there was no point trying to talk to him.

Allowing him to stay conscious any longer would merely cause Cole pain, as he was going against his Soul Contract when attacking Adam.

While forming the Soul Contact, Adam allowed internal conflict for reasons that he saw as valid and that included himself, but in this case, Cole had gone wild without even understanding the situation.

For Cole to be taken down so quickly and with such ease, it was clear that he was disorientated as, despite the large gap in power, Cole was the fastest out of the Faction Leaders and should have been able to react to Adam's chop.

Adam placed Cole's body over his shoulder and launched himself into the air with the Burst Movement Skill, leaving the scene before people began to gather around.

Adam was annoyed with how everything had turned out and it was clear that his enemies knew everything about him, while he knew nothing about them.

It was the first time he had seen one of their members in person and her eyes made him feel intimidated and wary, while the smile she gave him made it clear that she desired to battle him.

However, her battle intent wasn't one of equals. 

Instead, it felt as though she wanted to toy with him and it was the first time for a long time that he felt as though he wasn't facing an opponent on equal footing.

He felt inferior and as though he was being looked down upon, which made him even warier of the giant threat that was hiding in the shadows.

Despite that, there was nothing that Adam felt that he couldn't overcome and the Blood Moon Group was merely another obstacle on his journey that he was going to overcome.

To do so, he would need to strengthen the faction as much as possible, but also himself, as although his power was great compared to the power level of cultivators in the city, compared to that evil woman that took Emma and Sarah, he still had a long way to go.

"This is getting more and more complicated. Now with Emma and Sarah involved, I have no one else to protect or keep out of this dangerous world of cultivation, but that just makes me more dangerous. The Blood Moon Group and any other obstacle on my path will be crushed, but for now, I need to get this fool to calm down and boost the faction's growth even more"
