Chapter 457: Chapter 429: Future Daughter-in-law? Common Alliance (Double Update)
The fish-masked lady approached Chloe and asked, "Where is he?"
Chloe gave the girl a cold glance.
Adam looked at his daughter, "Who is this?"
"A boring person."
"What boring person? Are you playing with his feelings? I didn’t expect you to be that kind of person. Aren’t you afraid he’ll find out what you’re up to behind his back?" The girl blocked Chloe’s way and pressed on.
Adam was completely lost in the conversation.
"She’s in love with my brother."
Chloe explained indifferently.
Adam understood.
Just now, he thought that the girl was annoying, but upon hearing this, he instantly looked at her as if she were his future daughter-in-law.
"I’m not in love with your brother, I just... wait? He’s your brother?" The girl’s attitude changed instantly.
Adam found it amusing, "When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me?"
Chloe responded faintly, "It’s his private matter."
The girl cleared her throat, masking her previous embarrassment, "Well, I didn’t know your relationship with him. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Where is he now...?"
"Alex entered the Dark City for training half a month ago. If you want to find him, I’m afraid you’ll have to look elsewhere."
"Ah!"
The girl was stunned.
Chloe ignored the girl and said, "Let’s go."
Adam, on the other hand, wanted to learn more about his potential daughter-in-law, "I am Alex’s father, which family do you belong to, young lady?"
The girl’s face turned red with embarrassment, embarrassed that she had said such things in front of his father.
She answered solemnly, "My name is Leah Stephens."
Stephens!
Adam furrowed his brows, feeling that the surname sounded familiar.

Upon learning that Alex was in the Dark City, Leah left in a hurry.
The intelligence office of the Dark City.
From the Dark City’s intelligence office, Chloe and Adam found out that Alex was safe and sound, so they prepared to return.
Suddenly, people passing by began to discuss the matter of the Number One Pharmacist.
"Did you hear? The Number One Pharmacist is going to issue a bounty in the Dark City. The online ones won’t work, so he’s holding it in the Dark City. No wonder he’s the Number One Pharmacist. Not everyone can issue a bounty in the Dark City."
"It’s all about the prestige after all."
"Who doesn’t want to owe the Number One Pharmacist a favor? If I had that kind of ability, I’d join in, too."
"Forget it, I heard that even the ancient martial families outside can’t find a clue, let alone us little shrimps."
Adam said, "There has been a lot of talk about this Number One Pharmacist lately. Your grandfather mentioned it to us a few days ago."
"What’s the situation?"
Chloe was somewhat interested in the matter.
Adam blocked the passing people and walked outside with his daughter, "There’s not much of a situation, we just wanted to lend a hand, but in the end, we held back. The favor of the Number One Pharmacist is not something that is easily owed. Our family’s current situation doesn’t allow us to make any big moves, Chloe, are you interested in this?"
"The Number One Pharmacist is indeed powerful, but if the family needs anything, there’s no need to find him. Just find me."
There was no need to waste time and energy.
Adam smiled, "Alright, then we’ll ask Chloe!"
Adam knew Chloe was capable of refining medicine, but he didn’t know to what extent her ability could reach. In comparison to the renowned Number One Pharmacist, it didn’t seem like much.
Of course.
To him.
His daughter was the first one!

"Bang!"
Out of nowhere.
Before they reached the exit, an attack was launched towards Adam’s back.
Chloe quickly pulled him to one side with her swift reflexes.
Adam and the secret protectors around him changed their expressions and acted simultaneously.
The other party was dressed in a black robe with a mask on, looking like a western European wizard.
Fighting and killing in the Dark City was normal.
So when people saw this scene, they immediately stepped away.
"Bang! Bang!"
The surroundings were in a mess from the fight.
Adam felt that the other party must have recognized him from the very beginning.
The mask was knocked off, revealing the true face.
Adam also removed his crooked mask and looked coldly at the opponent.
The opponent suddenly used an array method, trapping Adam, who had killed several of their people in a row.
Although it only took a few brief moments, it was enough to hurt Adam Stephens.
The secret protectors anxiously broke the array.
"Buzz!"
"Crack!"
Chloe Stephens placed her palm on the ground, directly breaking the array they had opened.
The power of the array rebounded, backfiring on them.
Their gazes instantly fell on Chloe.
She could actually break their array.
Who is this?
"Who are you?"
Adam Stephens grabbed one of them and asked furiously.
Chloe watched as the secret protectors took down those who had been backfired upon, and impassively walked to Adam’s side.
Adam tore off the opponent’s mask in one motion and examined them for any special symbols.
There was a cold, scythe-like hook on it, and Adam’s expression changed again, "People from the Dark City’s common alliance."
Common alliance.
It was the so-called organization formed by the merger of several ancient families, which could also be regarded as a family.
For hundreds of years, they had been permanently stationed in the Dark City.
Becoming a part of the Dark City.
Now he finally realized that the surname Sikong was from the common alliance.
Chloe looked at Adam’s expression and knew what he was thinking.
"They may be aiming for Leah Stephens."
It just so happened that Leah Stephens had run into them.
As soon as Chloe spoke, the man’s expression changed a bit.
"It seems you’re right. No matter if you’re a member of the common alliance or from another power in Dark City, don’t expect to leave here alive today. If you take action in the Dark City, you should know that your own life could be at stake."
"Bang!"
Adam struck heavily.
The opponent’s head tilted, blood flowing.
The secret protectors also dealt with the others along the way, surrounding them.
Killing people from the common alliance would make it troublesome for them to enter the Dark City in the future.
"We must send more people to Alex’s side." Having offended the common alliance here, they would definitely try to take revenge on Alex.
Chloe agreed with a nod.
"I will report this to your grandfather; let’s go back first."

Linda Foster had just signed a contract with Stellar Media and returned to the dormitory to brag about her newfound success.
She also promised to treat everyone to a meal.
"Linda, we went to the Begonia Chamber recently for a student union event; let’s choose that place."
In the dormitory, only Linda Foster and one other person came from a poor family background, the rest were from well-off families.
Linda had heard of the Begonia Chamber, where the consumption was terrifyingly high.
Seeing her awkward expression, one of them said, "Is it inappropriate? If so, let’s just go to an open-air food stall."
Linda took a deep breath and smiled, "It’s fine, it’s just a meal. Let’s go to the Begonia Chamber."
As an artist, she knew she’d make money quickly. If she couldn’t afford a single meal, what would these people think of her?
*
Chloe got out of the car with her schoolbag in hand.
She turned her head to see Linda Foster standing next to her but didn’t pay any attention.
"Chloe!"
Linda Foster quickly stopped her, "I’m inviting you to dinner at the Begonia Chamber tonight. I’ve already called your Aunt and she said she’d come with you."
It wasn’t easy to get into the Begonia Chamber, but things changed when Chloe was involved.
She had called her family and lied that she needed two thousand yuan, but it was far from enough.
She needed Chloe to support her.
Chloe glanced at Linda Foster, seeing that she had a poor financial look, and paid even less attention to her.
"Chloe, I know you’re still angry, but I’m here to apologize, right? I just want to invite you to dinner and not do anything else. If not, should we invite Uncle Stephens too?"
Chloe carried her bag, with an expressionless face, and walked toward the school gate.
Linda Foster had just caught up with her when she was thrown aside by a force. Linda thought Chloe was just shaking her off and didn’t find it strange.
"Chloe, I’ll be waiting for you at the Begonia Chamber at 7 PM tonight, remember to be on time!"
She yelled towards the inside, and now everyone knew they had agreed to have dinner together.
Were they reconciled?
Linda Foster had no choice but to return to school first and figure out a solution in the evening.
