Chapter 350: Chapter 323: A Pleasant Beat, Suspect Person (Part 2)

Alex immediately attacked Filbert Fisher.

As soon as Filbert stepped outside, he was promptly confronted by Alex.

They initiated a fight without uttering a single word.

Filbert was already simmering with anger, so he left no room for courtesy when Alex launched at him.

The two of them started fighting in an open area.

This time, Alex was clearly at an advantage.

Even though Filbert tried intensifying his energy levels through his rage, he still ended up getting injured by Alex.

Eventually, the secret protectors from the Fisher Family had to intervene.

Seeing this, Alex immediately retreated.

He disappeared in a flash, leaving an anguished Filbert fuming.

"Young Master Filbert."

The secret protectors exchanged a glance when they saw Filbert’s ashen face.

For someone of Filbert’s age to have such cultivation already showed he was a genius.

But what was shocking was seeing Alex, who was far behind before, grow to such formidable strength in such a short time.

Filbert’s face was pale with rage.

Adam put down his signing pen when he saw Alex returning from outside to the company.

"Even though you haven’t really involved in the operations of the firm yet, it’s no excuse to slack off," Adam stated sternly.

Alex bowed his head.

"I’ll be more aware in the future."

"Rowan still managed a major project on his own, even towards the end."

Adam was concerned that Alex might not appreciate what he has and stressed the seriousness in his tone.

Alex replied, "I’ll be more attentive in the future. Don’t worry, I won’t let myself decline."

"Now that the company has suddenly divided so much power, the competition is stronger than before. If you’re not willing to work hard, others can’t help you even if they tried."

"Yes, I’ve noted this!" Alex said, bowing his head in shame.

Adam inquired, "Where have you been?"

"Just out for a walk."

"The traces of a fight on your body suggest it was more than just a walk."

Alex admitted reluctantly: "I ran into Filbert."

"Did you have a fight?"

"Yes."

"The territories of our Stephens family and the Fisher family are clearly demarcated. How did you stumble upon him unless you intentionally sought him out?"

Alex remained silent.

"Alex, although martial arts cultivation is important, survival in a large family like ours can be much harder if you don’t have any power in your hands," Adam cautioned.

"I know."

He had experienced it firsthand.

"Since you’re aware, you need to work even harder."

"Yes."

"We’ll eventually resolve this issue between Chloe and Filbert."

"Filbert does not deserve Chloe."

"So we’re glad that the engagement was cancelled."

The engagement had been called off, but the insult had not been erased.

Adam suddenly questioned, "Did Chloe ask you to find Filbert?"

Alex didn’t answer but didn’t betray Chloe either.

"Hmm, if it’s Chloe’s wish, then fight boldly in the future."

"..."

Daniel Lynch stopped Chloe.

"Chloe, what are you guys up to these days? You’re acting so secretive. Care to share?"

Chloe gave Daniel a scrutinizing look.

Daniel felt like he was being marked.

He had a bad feeling about it.

"Follow me."

His eyes sparkled.

Daniel arrived in the courtyard to see a few others already there, their faces twitching subtly.

Especially when he noticed a secret manual laid in front of each of them, his face nearly spasmed.

"So, you have been hiding and cultivating? Are you letting ordinary people practice? Chloe, is this really okay?"

Once ordinary people get exposed to such matters, they can’t stop.

"It’s not a big issue."

"Ordinary people can only learn to an extent, you can’t expose them to deeper stuff, right?"

"In my books, there is no difference between an ordinary person and a talented ancient martial artist."

"..."

He seems to have forgotten who Chloe Stephens is.

"From now on, you’re responsible for mentoring them. Here, take this for your cultivation."

"..."

He’s like a sheep entering a tiger’s den.

In the few days following the chess competition.

The women’s team won the championship.

Breaking the cycle of consecutive losses.

Chloe won a cash prize and seemed quite pleased.

"Chloe," Winnie Weston approached from another classroom, "Final exams are coming up soon. I hope we can settle who’s better in this one."

Chloe didn’t even acknowledge her.

"Chloe, are you scared?"

"I don’t have time."

"Hey..."

Winnie watched as Chloe walked away, furrowed her brows, turned to leave but noticed Oliver Gordon not far off, glaring in Chloe’s direction.

She raised an eyebrow.

The whole school was already buzzing about the situation between Oliver Gordon and Chloe.

But she didn’t care about this Oliver Gordon.

The Weston family was also a wealthy family, so she knew better than anyone that no matter how obtuse Chloe could be, someone of Oliver Gordon’s status was out of her league.

"Winnie, Corin Fisher of Third Middle School has challenged you."

A classmate in the same class called out to Winnie Weston, shouting loudly.

Winnie Weston frowned, looking in the direction Chloe had left, but she was nowhere to be found.

*

Chloe took half a day off.

She then asked Daniel Lynch to take Franklin Walter and Mason Sullivan to Dark City on their trip tomorrow, Saturday.

Then she herself headed to Sung Mountain County.

River East Village.

Chloe walked into the Divinity Temple.

Fred Foster, who was cleaning inside, glanced up to see Chloe suddenly appear. He looked startled and asked, "Chloe, what brings you back to the village all of a sudden? Isn’t it Friday today?"

"Have there been any suspicious characters around here these few days?"

"Suspicious characters? Yes, just today 003 told me that they spotted some foreigners."

Fred Foster quickly understood.

"It was 003 who told you, right?"

"Yes."

"003," Fred Foster frowned disapprovingly at 003, "I told you already, don’t disturb Chloe without reason."

recoiled, its mechanical expression faintly pleading.

"It was my request that 003 report every big and small incident in River East Village."

"Chloe, they’re just some foreigners who are here to visit, it’s not a big deal. There are many foreigners around Sung Mountain County, no need to overreact."

Because of this, the locals didn’t sense any danger.

In Sheffield City, there were even more westerners.

The Herta Kingdom’s truly prosperous city, it’s where the majority of foreigners congregated.

"They haven’t done anything suspicious, have they?"

"No, not at all. They haven’t done anything."

Fred Foster waved his hand in dismissal.

Chloe responded with a nod.

"Your family knows you’re back, don’t they?"

"Not for now."

"..."

*

Night time.

Fred Foster and 003 were inside, cooking.

Chloe was standing by the edge of the field, watching the already harvested crops.

There really is a distinct difference in atmosphere between the village and the city.

Chloe stood by the empty white field, gazing up at the stars.

She showed no emotion on her face, lost in thought.

Behind her, the chatter between Fred Foster and 003 made the night feel especially warm.

Chloe turned around to see Fred Foster waving at her with a grin, "Chloe, dinner’s ready!"

Chloe gave a hum of acknowledgment and walked inside the house.

"Since you came back so suddenly, we didn’t prepare much. These are organic vegetables grown by 003 and your grandfather. Eat more, they’re good for your health."

"Thank you, Grandfather."

"You should take some with you when you go back. The vegetables in the city can’t possibly taste as good."

"Ok."

Seeing Chloe enjoying her meal brought Fred Foster great joy!

Even his smile grew warmer.
