However.

"When you go out overnight in the future, inform the family. Your father and mother are very worried about you."

He could no longer take Chloe with him like before, and felt his daughter drifting away day by day, which filled Adam with an indescribable sense of loss.

As the saying goes, daughters grow up beyond the control of their fathers.

Chloe nodded, looking at Yvette’s complexion and said, "You seem to have recovered well in the mountain county."

Yvette subconsciously touched her face, indeed, she had put on some weight.

When Yvette looked at her daughter again, she found that Chloe had lost weight. "Chloe, you’re thinner. You don’t eat at home very often but don’t always eat those unhealthy food out there."

Chloe merely hummed in response.

After the family of three chatted for a while, Adam was called away by Pierce.

Entering Building 1, he squinted in the bright light, then quickly entered the study room after his eyes adjusted.

Elliott Xenos nodded slightly to Adam and opened the door to the inner room, "The family leader is waiting for you."

Adam wanted to ask what the matter was but swallowed his words. Asking Elliots would be pointless; he wouldn’t provide any answers.

Pierce sat at the desk, flipping through old letters. Without looking up when he heard footsteps, he said, "Sit."

Adam sat in the chair across the desk, looking at the row of book collection behind Pierce.

Once Pierce stopped flipping through letters, Adam turned his gaze away from the bookshelf. "What do you need me for?"

"Jade Hawthorne is dead. Did you know that?" Pierce looked at Adam with a deep gaze.

Adam was shocked, "Dead? Just like that?"

He had been worried about Yvette and hadn’t paid attention to Jade’s case.

Pierce withdrew his gaze from his son and said, "Some news has come back from Dark City. It’s said that at the time, Alex was with the people from the common alliance. Most of the people present lost their memory of the scene. Do you know what this means?"

Adam snapped back to reality, "So, Father, you suspect me?"

Pierce looked at him calmly.

Adam scoffed sarcastically, "Do you think I have that capability? Even if I regain my original strength, I’ll still be more than a decade behind."

Pierce said, "I’m not doubting you. It’s Alex who might be involved now, and we must find him and bring him back."

"Bring him back for what? To face another choice? To sacrifice Alex for the family again?" Adam’s eyes turned cold, "Do you think I would let you do that after everything we’ve been through?"

Pierce stared at Adam for a long time before saying in a deep voice, "So you still resent me."

"Can’t I?" Adam laughed mockingly, "You’re right, sacrificing one person to save the entire family. You wouldn’t hesitate to make that choice."

Pierce frowned, "We’re not discussing this now. First, we have to find Alex and be on guard against the Hawthorne family chasing us into Dark City. Doing so is also a way to protect him."

Adam didn’t trust Pierce’s words. After having gone through so much, he couldn’t trust his father again.

"Adam, I’m doing this for his own good," Pierce’s voice became even more somber.

"There’s no direct evidence why the Hawthorne family would hunt him down. Even if it had something to do with him, it was just a clash among the ancient martial artist with life and death left to fate. Their people die and they hunt him down. What kind of reasoning is that?" Adam gave a cold laugh, stood up, looked at Pierce and said, "Father, no one can touch Alex, not even you. He’s not an object, he’s a human."

He wasn’t a bargaining chip to be offered up for a crime.

Adam had tasted that bitter experience.

He knew what it felt like and definitely couldn’t let Alex go through the same thing.

Pierce’s face darkened, "Adam, you have lost sight of the bigger picture. Be clear-headed."

"Father, I am clear-headed," Adam took a deep breath, "I will lead the team into the Dark City. The Hawthorne family can chase him down, but absolutely cannot push Alex out for no reason. He hasn’t done anything wrong."

Pierce furrowed his brow.

Adam left Building 1 after saying his piece.

As he walked outside, he suddenly turned back to look at Elliots, "You’ve been by my father’s side for over a decade. Let me ask you this, do I have the right to remember what happened back then?"

Elliots looked at Adam and said, "The family leader is not wrong either."

Adam let out a sarcastic smile.

At this time, the Hawthorne family was indeed sending people into the Dark City to chase Alex and the common alliance members, just like the information suggested.

Whether or not Alex and the common alliance members were involved, they must be caught first.

The Hawthorne family didn’t need any reason to pursue their targets.

Even if Alex hadn’t clashed with Jade at the time, merely standing in that place would have made him a suspect.

The real victims were the common alliance members.

They hadn’t done anything. They were just in the small building where Alex was recovering, and when they left together, the Hawthorne family put them on their blacklist and began hunting them down.

However, as soon as the Hawthorne family members entered the Dark City Entrance, they were intercepted by the team led by Ethan.

Then Len Hawthorne arrived.

The faces of the Hawthorne family members changed several times when they saw Len.

"Young Master Hawthorne!"

Ethan stood in front of the group in camouflage clothes and raised his hand to Len who had just entered.

Len stood in front of the Hawthorne family members, his imposing presence extremely intimidating.

"What kind of scene are the Hawthorne family creating?" Len asked with a smile.

The Hawthorne family members didn’t want to see Len here at all, but now that they had run into him, they had to face him. The person in charge came forward and said, "Fifth Young Master, Old Madam went missing in Dark City and we were ordered by the family leader to search for her. Surely the Slaughter Squad wouldn’t block this too?"

Len’s black pupils narrowed into slits, and he coldly stared at the people of the Hawthorne family, "What did you say? Granny went missing? When did that happen?"

"It was the, the day Miss Jade died. Old Madam and Miss Jade went into the Dark City together, and afterwards lost contact. The family leader is extremely worried and sent us in to search..."

Len’s aura suddenly changed, becoming sinister and cold with a touch of furious chill, "So you took so long to tell
