Chapter 230: Telling the Truth Part 3

"You are actually going to tell us the truth!" exclaimed both Sarah and Emma in joy, excitement and anticipation.

Adam nodded his head a second time, but unlike them, his expression was serious and he clearly didn't want to be there.

"Before I do, I must warn you. This is not something small and will completely shatter your viewpoint on life and change your life from here on out if you find out about it. There is no going back once you find out. I would recommend you to forget about it and move on, and although you would live ignorant to the truth, it would be a much easier life" warned Adam.

Emma and Sarah were shocked by his warning and had merely thought that Adam and Cole had a small secret, but they didn't expect that it would be something so big. They couldn't even think of anything that would affect them so much if he told them and were beginning to come up with wild ideas.

{Adam, just to let you know. If your Charisma Stat and dominance is high enough, the host should be able to order and instruct people as you already know. But you should also be able to forcefully make somebody forget about something} informed him Ava.

[Thanks for the info, Ava] thanked Adam as he focussed back onto Emma and Sarah.

"Are you and Cole some sort of criminals?" asked Sarah.

Adam didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but their wild ideas were to be expected as he hadn't given them any context and they had no knowledge of cultivation, so it was obviously something they wouldn't have guessed he was hiding.

Adam shook his head and answered, "No, that is not the case"

"Have you both decided that you still want to know the truth?" asked Adam, who wanted confirmation and their permission before dragging them into the world of cultivation.

Once one found out about it, one would be drawn to its power and mystery and even if one couldn't cultivate, they would still want to find out more and try out different things to do with cultivation.

Both of them nodded their heads and didn't know what to expect.

"You both asked for this, then here you go. Me and Cole are both cultivators, which are people who can increase the strength of their bodies by absorbing energy and training....." said Adam as he continued babbling about the two types of cultivation and how cultivation secretly ruled the world.

Initially, Sarah and Emma thought Adam was joking and wanted to laugh, but seeing how much he was talking about it and his serious expression, it seemed as though he believed what he was saying.

"You wanted the truth, so I have given it to you. Now I need to leave" stated Adam who prepared to stand up.

"You think we will believe that. Just because you spoke a lot about it, it doesn't mean that it's true" said Sarah as she went to grab his arm.

"Well, why don't I show you," said Adam as his red eyes suddenly glowed and a small amount of his killing intent was enough.

If he used all of his killing intent, Sarah and Emma would both instantly lose consciousness and might even be injured and overwhelmed by its power, so he only used an amount that he knew was enough to scare them, but wouldn't harm them.

Sarah who was about to grab Adam's arm to pull him back before he could leave, suddenly fell backwards in fear.

"Everything I told you is true and if you don't want to believe it, then don't," said Adam as he retracted his killing intent.

Both Emma and Sarah were in a cold sweat as they stared at Adam who had a monstrous aura around him for an instant, then returned to his usual self.

"And one more thing, I am not doing this to scare you guys, but to warn you not to go and open your mouths..." said Adam before pausing.

Adam suddenly disappeared from before Sarah and Emma, then continued his warning from behind both of them, "Otherwise you will get both of yourselves killed".

Emma and Sarah didn't know how to react to everything that Adam told them and his sudden disappearance and killing intent were more than enough to prove that the things he said truly existed.

Adam didn't even need to use the Step Skip Skill and his speed alone was enough to make it seem that he teleported to Emma and Sarah, and seeing how shocked they were, Adam felt guilty and didn't leave yet.

Although he was eager to see his aunt and Chase, he didn't want to leave his friends in such a state, so sat back down before them and gave them a reassuring smile.

"Everything I told you about what Cole has been through and what I have been through is true. There are some things about myself and Cole that I cannot tell you, but what you saw now, was something that is ordinary for large cultivation families or organisations" stated Adam.

Adam hadn't mentioned anything to do with him being the masked youth that assisted Cole and mostly spoke about Cole when he was telling them the truth. The only thing that Adam said about himself was that he was cultivating and training on the days that he disappeared.

It was an overwhelming concept to abruptly take in, but Emma and Sarah were handling it quite well and after asking a few more questions, which Adam answered vaguely, they began to calm down.

After a few minutes of them digesting everything that Adam told them that changed how they thought about everything, Sarah and Emma returned to their usual selves and even Adam was surprised by how quickly they dealt with the shocking knowledge.

"So what else can you do?" asked Sarah.

"Yes tell us, cultivation is so cool" urged Emma.

[It seems as though telling them the truth was the right thing to do. I made sure to warn them and explain why it was so important for me and Cole to increase our power and train, so they understand our perspectives. Now Cole no longer has to hide anything from his partner and Sarah no longer has to feel as though she was left out of the loop] thought Adam to himself as he smiled, seeing that his friends had taken what he told them well.

"I can't do much, but Cole can control the wind," said Adam.

After everything that Adam had told them and after his small show of power, Emma and Sarah believed everything that told them.

"Incredible!" uttered Emam, who was imagining her boyfriend flying in the air with her and forming tornados.

"Have you two fought each other?" asked Sarah curiously.

"Yes, but Cole was much stronger than I was. How can I fight against someone who can fly and throw tornados?" said Adam as they all began to laugh.

They spoke for another half an hour and Adam answered most of their questions, but he did so very vaguely and made sure to pin all the attention and glory on Cole, which was how he wanted it to be.

"So you are telling me that Cole is the family head of one of the largest cultivation families in New York?" repeated Emma, amazed by what Adam had told her about her boyfriend.

"Yes, your boyfriend is an incredible individual with great potential, talent and I am sure he will shock the world. We are lucky to have him and although he will probably be much busier, he is happy and will definitely be coming to see you soon after he has sorted everything out" said Adam.

Adam didn't want to tell them everything and it wasn't his place to speak too much about Cole's past as that was his story to tell, so after a while, Adam began to refuse to answer their questions.

"Listen, I know you two are curious, but you mustn't do anything reckless or stupid and must heed my warning. A cultivator would easily be able to kill you two before you could even blink, but they wouldn't do so if you weren't involved in the Underground World Of Cultivation. It is best if you carry on with your day to day lives, while observing me and Cole" repeated Adam, who wanted to make sure that they took on his warning before leaving them.

Both of them had so many questions and wanted to see and experience everything to do with cultivation themselves, which was understandable, but until Cole returned, Adam didn't want to tell them or show them anything else.

"I will be leaving now and I know that it was something that you weren't expecting, but it is the truth of the world that most do not know about," said Adam before leaving to go and see his aunt after such a long time.
