Chapter 267: Chapter 240: He kills you, you kill him (2 more updates)

As the elder finished speaking, Adam Stephens’ entire body tensed up.

He stared at them with guarded eyes.

"Since you can’t explain, take them away."

With a wave of the elder’s hand, several secret protectors immediately stepped forward, intending to forcibly take Chloe and Yvette Foster away.

"Slap!"

Seeing the approaching people, Adam angrily slammed the table.

The redwood table instantly cracked.

Inside the small hall.

It instantly became a tense standoff.

Adam’s figure moved forward to block.

Strength surged.

Adam used his body to shield those in front.

Yvette reacted and also stood in front, attacking the Stephens Family’s secret protectors.

The small hall instantly became a battlefield.

The people sitting at the table remained motionless.

Chloe sat quietly in her chair, not moving.

They saw Yvette’s attack style, which was very fierce.

It seemed like she had been guided by a specialized master.

Surprisingly, Adam’s strength was much more powerful than before, making it easier for him to deal with these people.

Pierce Stephens’ eyes narrowed.

The others were also somewhat surprised by Adam’s progress.

*

"Stop."

Watching both sides fight to the point of destroying the place, Carl Stephens stood up and yelled.

However, no one listened to him.

"Slap!"

Someone slammed their palm out, completely separating the two sides.

Looking back, Pierce retracted his move.

His people remained motionless, sitting there.

Chloe glanced back and stopped her actions.

"Pierce, are you trying to interfere?"

Carl furrowed his brows.

Pierce said, "I am Adam’s father. What, am I not allowed to take action?"

"..."

"Today is just an inquiry, not a contest. Everyone, stop and sit down. Conversations should look like conversations."

As soon as Pierce spoke, everyone stopped their actions.

"In the future, whoever wants to touch my wife and daughter, must first pass through me, Adam Stephens," Adam ruthlessly stated, turning to Chloe and Yvette, "Let’s go."

This so-called inquiry.

It was nothing more than coercion.

Watching Adam leave with his wife and daughter, the elders’ faces were ugly as they looked at Pierce.

Pierce didn’t say anything to stop them.

Chloe lagged a few steps behind, and as she was about to leave, suddenly turned back and stared at the elders of the Stephens Family, "For me, any instrument in this world is garbage."

"..."

Chloe walked far away, and nobody came to their senses.

After a while, someone laughed with anger, "After being raised in the countryside for two years, this is the result. How did Yvette Foster teach her daughter? She’s too brazen. Pierce, you’re also half responsible. We hope that within three days, you can send both mother and daughter to the Stephens Family’s core Research Institute."

The great elder, the leader of the elders, sneered and left with the majority of the group.

Seeing that the elders had issued such a warning, Carl and the others followed suit and left.

"Family leader," Elliot Xenos stood by his side, looking worried.

"Hasn’t it been found out yet?"

"There are still no clues," Elliot received news from the outside, still empty-handed.

"Enter the mountain county," Pierce suddenly gave orders.

"Yes."

Elliot went downstairs to make a phone call to inform the people at the periphery that they could enter the mountain county.

*

Pierce entered his study room, took out his mobile phone, and dialed a number.

The other side picked up.

"Adam took action today. I’ve seen it, there’s been no regression, only progress... Be careful outside. One day, he will understand our painstaking efforts. Thank you."

After finishing his words, Pierce hung up the phone.

Turning around to face the window, thinking of Adam’s family’s situation, Pierce’s eyes grew colder.

In a large family, there is always someone who wants to take your position and the authority in your hands.

He was unsure how much longer he could afford to sit in this position.

*

Yvette Foster tightly held Adam Stephens’ hand all the way, silently comforting him.

Pierce Stephens did make a move, but he never explicitly stated his support for him from beginning to end.

Adam didn’t seek help from Pierce, his father, either. Asking for help in a large family was a sign of weakness and incompetence.

And as the family leader, Pierce only felt that Adam was gradually growing weaker, losing face for him.

Chloe walked behind them, not uttering a word.

As soon as they reached the door, Adam received a phone call from the Trial Hall.

Adam slightly paused, then frowned.

"I understand."

"What’s wrong?"

Noticing Adam’s unease, Yvette quickly asked.

Adam replied, "I need to go to the Trial Hall. Something happened to Alex Stephens."

"What happened?"

"It’s Rowan Stephens’ challenge."

When Yvette heard this, she understood what happened.

Just as Adam got in the car, Chloe opened the car door and got in.

"Chloe?"

"I’ll accompany you."

Adam informed Yvette and then instructed the driver to head to the Trial Hall.

*

Trial Hall.

The doctor was in the midst of treating Alex.

Rowan and the others stood there coldly, watching.

"Mr. Adam."

The Deputy Hallmaster of the Trial Hall greeted him.

He didn’t find the incident of someone being killed to be unusual.

After attempting various treatments, the doctor stood up and shook his head.

The injuries were too severe, beyond the point of recovery.

Adam frowned as he looked at Rowan.

Rowan showed no remorse. In families like theirs, deaths were commonplace.

Chloe crouched beside Alex, extending her hand to feel his pulse.

Then she took out a silver needle and pricked it on Alex’s body.

Seeing this, the others sneered with disdain.

Their gazes were filled with contempt.

"Miss Chloe Stephens, even if you want to play, don’t play with the dead," the doctor, an ancient martial artist, said arrogantly.

Provoked by Chloe’s actions, he added a sarcastic remark.

Rowan showed disdain.

The others looked at Chloe as if she were a fool.

Chloe paid them no heed.

Adam was surprised to see his daughter’s swift and precise movements, which appeared as if she had done them millions of times.

Easily, she inserted several needles into the body in succession.

A total of nine needles.

If a true expert in ancient medical techniques were here, they would have noticed that Chloe was using the twelfth needle of the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate.

Right when the mockery was at its peak.

The person, who was declared dead, suddenly opened his eyes, quickly sat up, and started gasping for air.

Alex only felt his whole body brimming with strength. Turning his head, he saw Chloe crouching in front of him, and he looked at her in astonishment.

"Chloe?"

"Slap."

With one palm, Chloe slapped him on the back, and the twelve silver needles simultaneously flew out. Chloe caught them in one hand, retrieving the needles.

This series of actions left everyone around speechless in shock.

Chloe glanced at Rowan and said to Alex, "He tried to kill you. So kill him in return. It’s fair."

It was still the same phrase: to avenge oneself.

It finally dawned on Rowan as he glared at Chloe, pointing at her in shock, "You...You..."

He was unable to complete his sentence.

Chloe spoke to Alex again, "Kill him, and you can take his place. Of course, this goes for the others as well."

After dropping these words, Chloe turned her back on them and walked away unhurriedly.

The scene was quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

Rowan clenched his fists, producing a cracking sound, his face a ghastly pale color. Shock, anger, disbelief - all these emotions mingled together, causing his face to become severely contorted.
