Chapter 491: Chapter 457: The Feeling of Heartache (Part 3)

"Team Hawthorne!"

As the two were talking outside the door, a team member rushed out from inside with a very ugly expression on his face.

Len Hawthorne furrowed his brows: "What’s the matter?"

"The people we were transporting escaped," They had taken many people to the Water Dungeon, and this time they caught two ancient martial artists who had dealings with Western Europe. It was not easy to subdue them, but the commotion underwater disrupted their plans. They didn’t dare to continue transporting them, lest they reveal the location of the Water Dungeon.

They decided to transfer the two captives, but they escaped while at sea.

In the process, some supporters also appeared, and the opponents’ ancient martial arts abilities were incredibly strong.

This was beyond their understanding of ancient martial arts capabilities.

Five of our brothers died, and Team Hawthorne..." The team member’s eyes grew red as he spoke.

"What location?"

"In the large bay area..."

Len Hawthorne had already turned and walked away when he suddenly turned back.

He saw the little girl following closely behind, "Little Chloe, they might be targeting me, you should..."

"Stop worrying."

Chloe Stephens coldly throws down those two words, and walks ahead of him.

Feeling helpless, Len Hawthorne grabs her wrist and says with seriousness, "Little Chloe, your big brother isn’t joking this time."

Chloe raises her cold eyes and looks at him, "You don’t have to take me."

Len Hawthorne tightens his grip on her wrist, his eyes deep and profound. Silence engulfs them for a brief moment.

He knew he didn’t have time to waste here. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "Stay close."

Chloe nodded.

*

In a large bay area of a certain sea region.

The wind and clouds were in turmoil, and on the ships in the sea, Team Hawthorne’s members were fiercely confronting the enemy.

Many of their opponents had also died.

However, due to the sudden appearance of a powerful ancient martial artist among their opponents, Team Hawthorne was forced to take the battle to the shore, causing great damage.

"Bang!"

Both people and ships were violently flipped over in the sea, crashing onto the shore.

Len Hawthorne quickly reacted and caught a Team Hawthorne member who was thrown through the air, and then he disappeared on the spot.

The next moment, he could be seen in the center of the raging waves, with two large ships and one person on each.

The masked opponent could have changed his appearance as well.

With one move, Len Hawthorne smashed the ship beneath the opponent’s feet, causing the waves to surge even more.

The dark clouds in the sky were rolling even more violently!

Chloe turned to look at her left side, where a man was staring intently at the scene in front of them.

Realizing he was being watched, the man suddenly turned to face Chloe’s cold and extraordinary gaze, and an invisible force collided.

"Buzz!"

"Crack!"

Something seemed to have collided in mid-air and then snapped with a loud crack.

In the blink of an eye, the girl and the man were embroiled in a fierce battle.

"Crack!"

Both people and strength were driven into the ocean, causing the waves to rise nearly ten meters high!

Chloe leaped into the air and plunged into the water with force.

Underwater, the man saw her coming in, cursed under his breath, and rushed in a certain direction, using some cover to successfully leave his position.

As the man’s qi grew farther away, Chloe performed an underwater teleportation to appear in front of him.

Chloe had just launched an attack to blast the man out of the water when a stronger force surged from below, causing her to look downward abruptly.

In the moment their eyes met, it was as if a switch had been flipped, and the man underwater unleashed his most powerful force, rushing at Chloe. The person above descended to ambush her as well, attempting to corner her from both sides.

"Bang!"

A powerful kick sent the man flying hundreds of meters away.

By the time he regained his senses, he could only spit out a mouthful of blood clots and curse, "Blake Watson, good luck to you."

Now that both annoying opponents had encountered Blake Watson, Calvin Lawson couldn’t help but feel happy for him!

Calvin Lawson removed the human skin mask from his face, threw it into the sea, and quickly left in a certain direction.

After injuring Calvin Lawson, Len Hawthorne dove straight into the water. A powerful force churned the water, as if some giant beast was awakening from the seabed.

Those who watched from a distance couldn’t help but feel fear!

"Splash!"

A figure shot out from the water’s surface, spinning, and flinging away numerous droplets. As the figure steadied, it turned out to be Len Hawthorne holding Chloe by the waist as they burst from the water. His strength seemingly turned into substance, stepping on falling droplets, taking one leap after another, and landing at an angle towards the shore.

The entire sequence of actions took only a few moments.

Chloe’s back was pressed against his chest, and she was panting slightly.

Len Hawthorne released his grip and walked forward, stopping where the seawater lapped on the shore. He stared intently at the sea surface.

Gradually, the sea calmed down, but the rain began to pour heavily.

Len Hawthorne turned around and picked up a dark blue raincoat from a nearby boat. He draped it over Chloe and tied the hood strings for her. His lips were pressed tightly together as he remained silent.

A rare moment of quiet.

Chloe’s gaze fell on his distinctively jointed hand. His long, slender fingers were skillfully tying the hood strings.

"I’ll have someone take you back first. There’s still some cleanup to be done here."

Chloe looked up and met Len Hawthorne’s cold gaze.

She had just clashed with the opponent, and their abilities were extraordinarily high.

Chloe lowered her head and said nothing. Len Hawthorne turned to walk away, but suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed him.

Both of them were startled!

As he turned, Chloe instinctively stretched out a hand to catch him.

The scene flashed through her mind once more.

Chloe abruptly withdrew her hand and turned to briskly walk inland.

As he watched the girl’s retreating figure, Len Hawthorne was stunned for a long time.

His eyebrows slowly furrowed.

He rubbing the area between his eyebrows, and laughed self-mockingly, "What is this feeling of heartache?"

It was just a matter of letting her go back first, it wasn’t that exaggerated.

But seeing the girl instinctively grabbing his hand and struggling to speak, it both pained and stung him deeply.

His hand clenched tightly over his heart, and he released a heavy sigh. The red flicker in his eyes seemed to signal that something was about to break free and spiral out of control.

Clenching his teeth, he grabbed the front of his shirt near his heart.

Only after exhaling deeply once more did he manage to steady his erratic breath.
