Chapter 411: Lesson

Adam also cared for them and when he went back to their house and released his killing intent, it was because he sensed and was informed by Ava that there was danger, and not because he wanted to kill them.

What he said hurt Cole more than the beating he received and he realised how reckless and foolish it was for him to attack Adam without even seeking an explanation or truly understanding what had occurred.

"Carry Cole inside the secret base and take him to the energy chamber to recover. Elizabeth I am sure you can transfer medicinal properties to others with your constitution, so please help him recover as we will be training tomorrow" instructed Adam.

It was painful for him to beat up his friend and subordinate in such a brutal manner, but it needed to be done and Cole felt nothing but sorrow and was trying to apologise to Adam, but he was unable to speak.

He had blood clotting in his throat and was barely able to breathe, but his eyes made everything he was feeling clear.

After all the pain he experienced from being beaten to the verge of death, Cole didn't once back down which was impressive, but from Adam's mere words, he had tears flowing down his face.

While the other faction leaders also didn't feel anything negative towards Adam and it was clear that Cole was in the wrong and merely made their situation even worse than it already was.

'It would be best if I just died here, just like he said I am useless and will never be able to get her back'

"Treat this as a learning curve and after he recovers, if he still has what it takes, I will help him train to become powerful enough to take on anyone and anything along with the rest of you. If this situation crushed his willpower and spirit, then we will have to see what we do then as we cannot allow the secrets of the faction to get out and also must keep the structure of the faction intact" stated Adam before walking away.

Adam's words were brutally honest, but correct.

Hearing what he said, Cole who was on the verge of giving up on everything felt his will to live and become stronger be reignited.

Elizabeth carried Cole to the energy chamber and aided his recovery overnight, while Wayde and Chase trained in the gravity chamber.

They wanted to clear their minds and there was no better way to do that than to train in the gravity chamber that they found very effective and useful for training their core, bodies and overall physical power.

Angela went to sleep and wanted to recover as much as she could before tomorrow so that she could train well, while Adam was nowhere to be seen.

Floating in the middle of the lake, Adam looked up at the crescent moon and the night sky and couldn't help but clench his fists.

He clenched his fists so hard that his nails pierced through his tough skin and drew blood, but Adam felt no pain and his mind was focused on one thing.

The Blood Moon Group.

The one's that could be blamed for everything bad that happened to his aunt and the ones that had coerced Emma and Sarah into joining them.

They had been watching Adam's every movement ever since he killed the hospital director and it was only a coincidence that Jannet was one of their victims, but I guess one could call it fate.

[I will make sure you pay for the suffering you caused for me and those I care about along with millions of others around the world] vowed Adam who after cleaning himself in the water, dried his body with fire.

He then put on a new set of clothes, since his old one was drenched in the blood of Cole, then slept outside laying against a tree.

Sleeping outside was nothing new for Adam and there was no danger for someone who was as powerful as Adam.

The night was silent and Adam slept deeply and peacefully, along with all the other faction leaders that were all tired.

He would usually enter one of the dungeons in his sleep, but he didn't do so for the first time in a very long time.

It was also the first time that he had truly managed to let go and sleep completely and he was so tired that he didn't even enter his mindscape and allowed himself his mind, soul and body to rest completely.

At noon the next day, all the faction leaders had woke up and they had all rested for over 12 hours, which they had never had the chance to do that entire year just like Adam.

After doing so, they all gathered in the energy chamber not only because of the extremely dense energy within that large room, but also to check on Cole.

Cole had recovered greatly from the state he was previously in with the help of a recovery technique, Elizabeth's medicinal energy and the energy chamber, but his recovery speed still couldn't be compared to that of Adam.

It was also easy for him to recover quickly because Adam had intentionally made it so that none of his internal organs, energy pathways or meridians were damaged, which he was thankful for.

The physical injuries were easy to recover, but if Adam hadn't held back and made sure to only deal him physical injuries, even if Cole managed to survive, recovering to his peak would be almost impossible.

It was clear they were all curious as to what had happened and they gathered most of it from what they heard Cole and Adam say to each other, but they still wanted to hear the full story from Adam.

After hearing it, Adam being in the right was made even more evident and he had merely tried his best to save his friends and the one that Cole loved and yet Cole ended up turning up against him.

Guilt was eating Cole up and as soon as he finished telling them the story, he got up to look for Adam, feeling obligated to beg for forgiveness.
