Chapter 171: Chapter 147: Incense Poison Worm, The Stephens Family is in Panic (1st update)

"Is that a member of the Fisher Family?" Chloe Stephens’ gaze fell on Rosella Fisher.

"The Fisher Family?" Franklin Walter followed her gaze, "She’s quite attractive."

Mason Sullivan teased, "Franklin, when did you start noticing people’s appearances?"

Franklin Walter scratched his nose, a bit embarrassed, "I just feel there’s something different about her..."

"Now that you mention it, there really is something different."

Mason Sullivan was also unconsciously attracted by Rosella Fisher. Not just him, but those around him as well, regardless of gender.

It seemed that the girl was quite popular.

A senior from the second year came over upon hearing their conversation and cheerfully said, "Are you guys talking about Rosella? She’s the campus belle of our First Middle School! Beautiful, isn’t she?"

The student turned around, saw Chloe Stephens’ face, and didn’t finish his sentence.

When it came to unique attraction, this girl in front of him was extraordinary!

Chloe Stephens withdrew her gaze.

At a glance, she was certain that Rosella Fisher, the girl from the Fisher Family, carried a poison worm fragrance.

The fragrance worm embedded in the body would naturally emit a unique and pleasant fragrance, thereby achieving the purpose of bewitching people.

The fragrance worm was as thin as hair. The worm-keeper claimed it did no harm to the body before implantation. However, they did not realize that whatever was beneficial to you would demand an equal price from your body.

The pleasant fragrance it emitted was the worm feeding on your flesh and blood. In due time, your organs would gradually deteriorate.

Rosella Fisher’s condition suggested that she had been using it for one to two years.

The end was not far for her.

Cold beverage shop.

Morgan Crowley handed the cold drink to the girl sitting quietly by the window.

Once again, he marveled at her divine beauty!

"Chloe, are you permanently in Sheffield City now?"

"Yeah."

"Are you truly a Stephens?"

Chloe Stephens did not even spare him a glance.

A rhetorical question.

"No, I recently heard some gossip. They say you... are the wastrel of the Stephens Family... and you’re engaged to that guy from the Fisher Family."

"It’s true."

Morgan Crowley’s handsome brow furrowed, "What a waste, Chloe. Why not come back with me to the Crowley residence in the Imperial Capital? We Crowleys welcome such talents like yourself."

No, it should be said that all ancient martial artists loved such a divine pharmacist as her!

Ancient martial artists didn’t abide by the rules of ordinary people and often engaged in do-or-die battles.

When they were critically injured, they were unable to heal themselves. That’s why they needed the assistant of a Medicine God.

"How is the information you were gathering?"

"I found out some stuff. Please check it out, Chloe! I didn’t dare post this stuff online. If someone uses the net to trace it back to me, it would be troublesome. Although I am not afraid of these people, constant small troubles can be... bothersome..."

Before Morgan Crowley could finish, Chloe Stephens had already taken the documents from his hand to look over.

Three pages. She finished reading in a glance.

And committed it to memory.

"Is that all?"

"Currently, that’s all there is," Morgan Crowley was curious, "Chloe, what are you planning to do? Could it be you want to establish your own lab? With your capability, Chloe, you don’t need to join them. I personally can set up a lab for you."

"Shut up."

Morgan Crowley shut up immediately.

Chloe Stephens took out her phone to search and couldn’t find the lab she wanted.

She put away her phone, took her cold drink, and ordered Morgan Crowley again, "Research more."

Morgan Crowley was surprised, "The lab you want isn’t in here?"

Chloe Stephens left without uttering a word.

He looks so handsome and aloof, but never thought he’d be such a chatterbox. What an annoyance.

The atmosphere of the Stephens Family was very oppressive today.

The reason was the discovery of something unusual last night.

The family leader gathered all key personnel, creating unease throughout the Stephens Family.

Are they going to be attacked by a large family?

The younger ones were a little uneasy.

They have not witnessed any major battle between ancient martial artists, but they have heard the older generations talk about it.

Perhaps it’s because ordinary people are far from being a match for their semi-ancient martial arts, they have always been accustomed to being domineering and arrogant, thinking they are the strongest in the world!

Little tension passed, and then they were filled with fighting spirit.

Just as well, they have not truly fought with ancient martial artists from the outside world.

Take this opportunity to hone their skills!

The transition from nervousness to fighting spirit among the youngsters didn’t require the adults to provide any comfort.

The atmosphere in Building 1 with its long conference table was oppressive.

"There hasn’t been such a situation in the Stephens Family for many years."

The low voice of Pierce Stephens echoed in the vast conference room.

But under these circumstances, everyone chose to remain silent.

Pierce’s complexion grew even more grim.

When something happened, these core members of the Stephens Family chose to remain silent, powerless!

This is what Pierce has always been most worried about all along, out of the three major families, their Stephens Family was at the bottom.

No matter how much Pierce held the line, he couldn’t change the status quo.

He was worried that if he didn’t do something, the Stephens Family would end up like the Lynch Family, being relegated to insignificance.

No, it would be even worse than the Lynch Family.

The development of talent in the Stephens Family was most important, so Pierce Stephens was very strict with everyone and on every matter.

He’s been propping up the entire Stephens Family, but he couldn’t see any results.

That feeling of powerlessness was getting stronger.

Especially in today’s situation.

"About the warning sounded last night, don’t you have anything to say?"

Pierce’s voice was already very displeased.

The council of elders remained silent.

A dozen elders, either retired or covertly vying for power.

Over the years, they’ve become accustomed to an easy life.

The training of the family descendants grew more and more slack, leading to a scene where no one wants to be the first to respond when something happened.

And these core members of the family also adopted an indifferent attitude as if it was not their concern.

Pierce was furious, he slammed the table on the spot, his eyes, sharp as a knife, sweeping over the dozens of people sitting here.

Joe Stephens and Carl Stephens looked at each other, both waiting for the other to speak first.

No one wanted to take up this thankless task.

Once they spoke, Pierce would definitely enlist them to undertake this investigative task.

If they could not find a clue, Pierce would certainly use this to hold against them in the future.

Therefore, no one dared to take up this task that seems to be a power delegation but actually thankless.

At this time someone suggested, "Family leader, since it is a matter within the family, why not let the trained successors participate in the meeting. We are old, some of our thinking can’t keep up with the youngsters, maybe we old folks can learn something from the youngsters."

As soon as these words came out, the family members who were selected as successors, their eyes shot like daggers at the speaker.

Joe Stephens was the first to object, "Elder Fifteen, this is not a joke. The younger generation has just entered the best stage of cultivation, and they simply cannot handle such a major matter. Is your proposal intended to doom the future of the Stephens Family!"

The younger generation represented the future of the Stephens Family.

Making such a proposal was simply brainless!

The others also unanimously opposed to bringing the younger generation into this prematurely.

"We old folks are indeed old, even speaking inarticulately, it is indeed time to let the younger generation gradually get involved in these affairs. Their fathers should lead by example, the next meeting will be held in the large conference room. The meeting today will be adjourned here, we will reconvene tonight, and have everyone summoned."

Pierce didn’t want to spend more time with these old fossils, he issued orders directly.

When everyone left the conference room, Elliot Xenos made a cup of hot tea for Pierce Stephens.

Smelling the tea fragrance, Pierce sighed softly.

Having been by the old man’s side, Elliot understood his feeling of powerlessness.

"Family leader, are you really going to send them into the core layer?"

"The Stephens Family indeed needs to make some changes," Pierce Stephens put down the teacup and said, "Get Adam prepared."

Elliot Xenos slightly moved, nodded, and went down to give Adam a phone call.
