Chapter 432: Chapter 405: You’re courting death; I’m waking you up (Part 2)

Len Hawthorne walked around the corner with a cigarette in his mouth, spotting the girl standing under the wall, and hesitated slightly.

Then he smiled.

"Little Chloe."

Chloe walked expressionlessly in front of him.

She raised her hand.

"Slap."

Len’s handsome face was slapped.

Len looked at the girl in astonishment, "Chloe, you have to have a reason for this slap, right?"

"You’re courting death, I’m trying to wake you up."

The girl’s voice was cold, but it wasn’t hard to hear her anger.

Len reached out to rub her head, but the girl ruthlessly slapped his hand away.

"So you were the one who fought with her."

"The mirror curse, one-sided restraint, she doesn’t have the ability to cast it. Who did?"

Len was surprised again, "You actually know about this mirror curse."

"The only solution is to find the curse caster."

"Well, you’ll be disappointed," Len laughed, "The one who cursed doesn’t know whether to live or die."

If he died, then there would be no way for him to lift the curse in his lifetime.

Chloe immediately understood, "It’s your parents."

Len put his hand on her shoulder, passing by her, "I’ll take you home."

Chloe turned back to look at the man’s tall figure, falling silent.

Stephens Building 1.

Elliot Xenos stood at the entrance, occasionally scanning inside the gate.

At this time, inside the gate.

A man with a tall figure and a murderous aura was standing in front of Pierce Stephens reporting.

"We’ll find a way to infiltrate the Hawthorne Family."

"With your meticulous arrangements, I’m very relieved. You don’t need to show yourself this time when you return."

"Yes."

"Caden Reid, you’ve been with me for many years."

"Forty years already."

Pierce Stephens sighed, "Time really is fast."

"No one can forever linger in the past; people must bear the ravages of time."

"Go have a look at your loved ones, you haven’t been home for several years."

Caden nodded, turned and went to the other exit, and quickly left.

He disappeared silently from everyone’s sight.

Elliot waited for a while and didn’t hear any movement inside, so he pushed the door and entered.

That figure had already disappeared inside the entrance.

Pierce lifted his head, "What’s the matter?"

Elliot hesitated, then said, "You and Adam Stephens agreed to have dinner together tonight."

"You make the arrangements."

Elliot withdrew.

Pierce looked up at the huge Building 1, then glanced at the data next to him.

Hawthorne Family data Jade had just given him, there were some photos as well.

The madness of the people of the Hawthorne Family could be seen from these incomplete data.

The first photo was of Len Hawthorne.

Only half a page of paper could record him, with much information hidden.

When the Hawthorne Family did such a thing to the Stephens Family, the Stephens Family couldn’t just swallow the humiliation and choose not to speak.

He, Pierce Stephens, could indeed give up his own children for his family, but he couldn’t let those who bullied his family off the hook.

This was his commitment.

In the corner of the desk, a row of flying dragon and phoenix characters were clipped to the side of the picture frame.

These were not Pierce Stephens’ characters.

"I promised you, and I will do it."

*

Charlotte Richardson came early to wait for Pierce Stephens.

"It’s so rare for our family to sit together for a meal, be happy."

Pierce couldn’t help but hold Charlotte’s hand tightly, "You’ve been wronged all these years."

"Why are you suddenly saying this?"

Pierce Stephens didn’t say anything, just tightly holding Charlotte Richardson’s hand.

What kind of grievance it was, only the two of them understood.

Feeling Pierce’s emotions, Charlotte couldn’t help but tear up, but she quickly forced them back.

*

Alex Stephens followed Chloe a step behind into Building 2, with Adam Stephens and Yvette Foster leading the way.

As soon as they arrived, the atmosphere in Building 2 became different from usual.

Pierce saw them come in and waved his hand, "Take a seat."

Adam led Yvette to sit down first.

"This time, I invited you all to dinner to discuss how to spend the New Year."

Charlotte sat down and immediately brought up the topic.

Adam wanted to take Yvette back to mountain county to spend the New Year together, but now that Charlotte had mentioned it, it seemed they would stay."

"No need to discuss, we’ll spend it together as a family." Pierce decided.

"Just follow father’s arrangement."

Adam had no objections.

"After the New Year, I should leave," Charlotte suddenly said.

Adam was stunned, "Didn’t you say you wouldn’t leave?"

Adam did not know that Charlotte had previously gone out to find a cure for him and was even more unaware that Pierce had secretly instructed Caden Reid to find a treatment for Adam’s condition in Imperial Capital City.

"I have some matters to attend to outside, and I’ll be back in a few months," Charlotte said, motioning for everyone to eat. "Don’t just talk."

Adam suppressed his doubts and began to eat.

The day before New Year’s Eve.

The Imperial Capital Hawthorne Family received a joint letter from the Taylor and Lynch Families.

Steve Hawthorne stared at the letter on the table, his eyes cold.

Josh Hawthorne walked in and said to the man at the table, "Everything at home is ready. Please preside over the ceremony."

Steve’s hand pressed on the joint letter, and he said to Josh, "The Lynch and Taylor Families jointly sent us a letter, asking us to hand over Jade."

Josh glanced at Steve’s expression and said, "If they join forces, perhaps they might really put pressure on our Hawthorne Family. It’s better to nip such tendencies in the bud. Otherwise, those ancient clans in the Imperial Capital will take advantage of our troubles. Once our family faces pressure from all sides, there might be movement in Dark City too."

"Is the Hawthorne Family so easily swayed?" Steve said, "After the New Year, you personally lead a team to Sheffield."

"Yes."

As for the joint letter, the Hawthorne Family didn’t care much about it.

*

Chloe received greetings from everyone in her family and responded to each one.

Morgan Crowley: [Stephens Godfrey, I’m flying back to the Imperial Capital tonight, not staying in Sheffield for the New Year! Happy New Year’s Eve!]

There were greetings from her classmates.

It was New Year’s Eve, and the classmates were returning to their homes.

When next term starts, they would all return to Sheffield again.

Chloe looked at the full screen of greetings, feeling a sense of being cared for.

Opening WORLD, "Leave No Trace" had greeted her with a group of people asking for a meeting.

Wishing a Happy New Year was just a side note.

The one who changed his name to "Soul of Seven Days," the cancer patient, came out to mock "Leave No Trace" for putting on a show.

Continuing to read, Chloe received several more orders.

Deliveries promised for after the New Year.

In the grand building at this time.

Len Hawthorne had his arms crossed behind his head, his legs resting on the table, and his chair half-tilted.

His eyes gazed slightly upward at the ceiling.

Outside were the lively sounds of firecrackers and occasional noise from big events in Sheffield City.

Some of his team members in the grand building had been sent home for the New Year, leaving only those who wanted to stay over to look after the building.

They were responsible for ancient martial artists’ matters, while other specialists would handle other affairs outside.

The Slaughter Squad was not part of the formal structure.

His mobile phone beeped once, and he sat back up, picking up the phone at the corner of the table and looking at a message.

Little Chloe’s contact name was clearly visible.

[Happy New Year.]

Len smiled and dialed her number.

The call was quickly connected.

"Big brother will take you out for a walk!"

Chloe looked at the fireworks outside the window and said, "Okay."
