Chapter 284: Chapter 257: Joe Stephens Threatens, Deadline Approaching (Third Update)

The doctor immediately examined Rowan.

This time, the ingredients of the medicine were detected directly.

"Rowan took the medication developed by the Taylor family half an hour ago."

They had encountered these ingredients before.

With a distorted expression, Joe Stephens said angrily, "Impossible, Rowan has never been in contact with anyone from the Taylor family."

Seeing Joe’s appearance, the doctor didn’t dare to provoke him further, "We’re not sure. It’s better to ask the Taylor family to check."

"There’s no such thing," Joe Stephens looked gloomy and stared coldly at the doctor.

The doctor took a step back.

Joe Stephens was, after all, of the same generation as Pierce Stephens, with profound cultivation.

If truly enraged, he might tear apart half of the Stephens Family.

Joe suddenly looked at Adam Stephens with a fierce expression, "Was it you? Did you feed Rowan something he shouldn’t have eaten?"

Adam’s face darkened.

"Fourth Uncle, ever since Rowan came to Building 3, I have been wholeheartedly looking out for him. In contrast, he has secretly instigated others to target my daughter. I’m afraid only he knows what he has done during this time."

"If you don’t know, who knows."

Joe Stephens didn’t believe Adam’s words at all.

Adam stepped to Yvette’s side, blocking Joe’s cold gaze, "I have a clear conscience. Can you guys from Building 11 say the same?"

"For their mother and daughter, what kind of outrageous things are you, Adam Stephens, incapable of doing?"

Joe’s face was full of ferocity.

"Fourth Uncle..."

Before Adam could say anything, a flash of shadow appeared, and a huge force pressured them.

It was a fearful sensation of being thoroughly destroyed in an instant.

People around them turned pale with fright and couldn’t move a step.

Adam clenched his fists, ready to block Joe’s attack with his body.

"Bang!"

Charlotte Richardson pulled Adam back and raised her palm to counter Joe’s attack.

"Buzz!"

The invisible force hummed, causing everyone to retreat several steps. Those who couldn’t bear the pressure kept backing up, their bodies forcibly pressed down, unable to move a single step.

It felt like being crushed by a mountain.

"Puh."

Someone couldn’t withstand the huge force and vomited blood on the spot.

Charlotte withdrew her hand, suppressing the sweet taste of blood in her throat, her expression icy, "Joe Stephens, what are you trying to do? The life-or-death battle was initiated by Rowan to challenge Alex. He’s the one who died. What, can’t Building 11 accept the loss? If you dare to issue a life-or-death challenge, you should be prepared for the possibility that the one who dies will be him."

Joe Stephens clenched his fists with a creaking sound, and the veins on his face throbbed violently.

Joe shot a gloomy glance at the group, then ordered someone to take Rowan away.

"Wait."

The Elder of the Trial Hall stopped them.

Joe asked coldly, "Does the Elder have anything else to say?"

"The substance in Rowan’s body must be examined."

Joe snorted coldly, "You don’t have the authority. If you want to examine it, you’ll have to pass through me first."

His overbearing behavior made the Elder’s face turn ugly in an instant.

"Joe Stephens, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to defy the rules of the Stephens Family?"

"Even if I defy, you Elders of the Trial Hall have no right to speak."

Joe’s face darkened. As he passed Adam, he dropped a warning, "Watch your daughter."

Adam tensed up, "What do you mean, Fourth Uncle?"

Joe had already walked away with the others.

Freya Leonard, who had fainted, was also taken away.

Building 1.

Someone came in to report.

"Family leader, the situation at the Trial Hall is not good. Rowan secretly took medicine that triggered his potential, rapidly increasing his cultivation, and ended up self-destructing." The person wiped his cold sweat and continued, "Old Madam and Fourth Master have started fighting."

Pierce Stephens was surprised for a moment, "Self-destruct?"

"The doctors at the Medical Institute said that Rowan secretly took an unqualified enhancement medicine from the Taylor family. According to the evidence, Rowan had been in contact with the Taylor family since early on."

Elliot Xenos looked at Pierce, "Family leader, I’ll take someone to check on Old Madam."

"Go take a look," Pierce’s brow furrowed.

He hadn’t expected such an outcome.

It was indeed a self-inflicted catastrophe if Rowan had relied on the Taylor family’s medicine to advance his abilities.

There was nothing to feel sorry for.

*

"Mother, are you alright?"

Adam Stephens reached out his hand to help Charlotte Richardson.

Charlotte Richardson waved a hand, her face slightly pale, "Go back with your wife first."

Charlotte Richardson left with the people beside her first.

The elder of the Trial Hall had to deal with the matter at hand before reporting to the family leader and asking for instructions.

Alex Stephens felt unreal.

It seemed quite unrealistic.

Rowan Stephens died just like that?

*

Gideon Stephens learned of his son’s death.

His anger led to a heart attack, coughing up blood on the spot; the situation was urgent.

The people from the Medical Institute quickly came over.

Gideon’s condition also became critical.

When both his son and grandson met with accidents, Joe Stephens’ figure wavered, almost falling to the ground.

"Fourth Master, Gideon’s condition isn’t optimistic. He swallowed a mouthful of blood just now, I’m afraid... he does not have much time left."

Joe Stephens’ eyes were filled with blood, glaring blood-shot at the person, a terrible sight.

"Useless, all of you, useless! Get out!"

They couldn’t even save his son and grandson; what use were they?

The doctors from the Medical Institute were not ancient healers from the Taylor Family, and couldn’t save people as easily as they could.

*

An hour later.

Taylor Family.

Chuck Taylor frowned as he received Joe Stephens.

Seeing Joe Stephens’s defeated appearance, Chuck Taylor was surprised.

"Brother Baojiang, what happened to you?"

"Chuck, I ask you to save my son."

Chuck Taylor hesitated for a moment, then said, "Please allow me to ask for the family leader’s permission."

Joe Stephens nodded, waiting for Chuck Taylor to ask Evan Taylor for instructions.

After listening to Chuck Taylor, Evan Taylor said: "Go and have a look. In the end, if the Taylor Family cannot cure him, it’s his fate."

Chuck Taylor couldn’t help but raise his head, his eyes filled with surprise.

Chloe left after school in the afternoon and didn’t attend the evening self-study period.

Abigail Wilson ended up taking over the class leader position. Greene Quincy was still recovering at home and couldn’t help her with the class leader responsibilities, so she handled almost everything in the class herself.

Chloe told Abigail Wilson about her leaving and headed for home during the evening self-study period.

At the gate of the Stephens Family.

Through the glass window, Chloe could see Joe Stephens entering Building 11 with people from the Taylor Family.

Her expression shifted slightly, instantly returning her gaze.

Rowan’s matter had been taken care of according to the plan.

Now it should be Gideon’s turn.

Building 3.

Chloe walked in and saw Adam Stephens and Yvette Foster sitting quietly with a somewhat quiet atmosphere.

"Chloe."

"What happened?"

Chloe put down her schoolbag on her shoulder and asked.

Adam said, "Rowan is dead. The Medical Institute suspects it was due to the medicine he took from the Taylor Family."

Adam’s eyes suddenly became complicated, quietly watching Chloe.

Although he didn’t say anything, it was as if he was asking Chloe if she was involved in this matter, or if she had known from the beginning that this would happen.

Chloe took out a surveillance USB from her schoolbag and threw it out. "This is the footage of Rowan’s encounter with Lily Taylor. The items were taken from Lily. Just as you suspected, I knew from the beginning that he would blow himself up. In the plan, he had to die. It’s just that the method was a little different."

No matter whether Rowan blew himself up or not, it would be difficult for him to escape his fate in the end.

Adam and Yvette watched Chloe in astonishment, and neither of them could speak for a moment.

Chloe sat down in front of them and looked at them. "Do you have any other questions?"

"Gideon..."

"It was my doing afterwards. Today should be his last day too."

Both of them stared at Chloe and fell silent again.

The daughter in front of them had become too much of a stranger to them.
