Chapter 182: Cole's Intrusion Part 1

Leaving the hotel with his disguise on, then walking into an alleyway, Adam took out his phone and called Cole.

While the phone rang, he left the alleyway without the Disguise Illusion Stone activated, as he only needed to it get out of the hotel and to hide his face when with Angela, but when he was alone, he had nothing to worry about.

Cole didn't pick up the phone the first time, which worried Adam who knew that he had just confronted the Epstein Family, but he continued to call him while jogging towards the area of the Epstein Family Headquarters to see if anything had happened to Cole.

William when he was drunk had told Adam that he was going to the Epstein Family with Cole the next morning, which was why Adam didn't do anything until the afternoon, but with Cole not answering his phone, he didn't know what happened.

Early in the morning, William woke up with a bad headache since he was very hungover from the large amount that he drank the previous night, but what he woke up to see was surprising.

Cole despite all the pressure that was on him, especially on the day that he had been training for, for the past few months, was calm and collected. 

He was training his body externally using a series of unusual movements and around him, the air was forming a small and weak hurricane that was being controlled by him. It was an incredible sight and after sensing his father's arrival, paused his training, leaving a puddle of sweat around him from the training that he had completed.

"Father is it time to confront the Epstein Family?" asked Cole while wiping the sweat off his forehead.

"Yes son, it is your time to shine and avenge me, your mother and your grandfather" affirmed William.

After Cole cleaned himself up and changed his clothes, it was nearly 9 am and William knew that it was the time that the next family head would be chosen from the research and spying that he had done.

Cole had been preparing for quite a long time and it was his destiny to face the Epstein Family so there was no need for him to worry, but he was unsure as to why Adam kept coming to mind.

They left the place that they were staying at and went straight to the central Epstein Family Headquarters that was in the tallest building on Staten Island.

Upon walking in, the guards didn't want to let them in, but with a wave of his arm, Cole released a gust of wind that sent them flying backwards as he confidently walked in with his father beside him.

"I am here for the family head throning ceremony and as you can see, I am a candidate for the position. If you get in my way, I will kill you" announced Cole as he walked through the building confidently with his father beside him.

William was shocked by Cole who had completely surpassed all his expectations as he stood in the lift beside Cole with his heart beating rapidly, nervous to find out what would happen next.

"What the hell. Who are you two and how dare you intrude on this ceremony" bellowed the great elder after seeing Cole and William come out of the lift.

Initially, he thought it was somebody that was late to the ceremony and was going to scold them, but he didn't recognise the two of them and was even angrier.

"Watch your tone and don't get arrogant. You are merely the substitute family head and that position belongs to me" declared Cole, shocking everybody there including his father.

All the cultivators in the room were high-level Advanced Cultivators that were not only skilled fighters and cultivators but were also very knowledgeable and skilled when it came to the cultivation professions.

However, Cole felt that nothing could faze or intimidate him as if he was above the entire world as he glared straight at the great elder with hate and killing intent in his eyes.

"You dare to talk to me in this manner. Do you know who I am?" bellowed the great elder who unleashed his powerful aura and approached him slowly.

"You are a disgusting bastard that killed his own father and sister just for power, and will soon be killed by me and banished from the family" answered Cole as he also approached the great elder.

He had no chance against him in a battle, but Cole was consumed by rage and couldn't help but blame him for all the troubles that he had in his life.

Upon hearing that the great elder was shocked and he thought that he hadn't left anybody alive that knew about it and assumed that William was too scared to confront him after losing his cultivation, but he didn't make it obvious and dashed towards Cole to quickly get rid of him.

"You dare to slander me and intrude on this ceremony where my son will inherit the position of the family head. I will kill you for your crimes" roared the great elder as he dashed towards him, however before he could, a few of the elders got in his way.

Although he was the great elder, he wasn't much stronger than the elders and some surpassed him in power, while all of them surpassed him massively in knowledge, so he didn't dare to attack them and tried to keep them on his side.

Some of the elders suspected that the great elder had something to do with the death of the 2 previous family heads, but none of them said anything about it. However ever since the great elder became the substitute family head, the Epstein Family hadn't been developing.

"Great elder, I don't think you should kill him. Allow him to speak and say what he has to say" said one of the elders that stopped him.

"Yes, and he looks just like your sister" added another.

As soon as the great elder heard that, he recognised William from his eyes that hadn't changed and with that, gathered who Cole was.
