Chapter 511: Chapter 476: Wanting to Help, The Undercurrents Surge in Sheffield City (1 more)
Entering the Golden Villa, Morgan Crowley anxiously asked Chloe Stephens who was drinking water after setting down the box in his hand, "What’s going on with the Hawthorne Family? Do you know there are people from the Hawthorne Family sneaking into Sheffield City to keep an eye on you? And those nosy people online, they’re all gathering in Sheffield City as well. Among them, there are those who have benefited from Jasper Montgomery, and there must be people organizing against you."
Chloe put down her cup.
Looking at him, she said, "Deal with your own business in Sheffield City first."
Morgan choked.
It wouldn’t be possible to settle the Crowley family’s affairs in a short time.
"Miss Stephens, I am worried about the situation on your side, so I came to help you!"
Indeed, Chloe’s medicine refining skills were excellent.
However, he had not truly seen Chloe’s ancient martial skills, so he couldn’t say for sure if she could handle so many people.
Chloe glanced at him and said, "As long as you don’t interfere, you’ll be helpful."
Morgan: "...."
His cultivation was not low now, and he could provide support to Chloe.
Just as Chloe finished speaking, Liam Lynch suddenly called.
"Miss Chloe Stephens, we have found quite a few people secretly watching your Stephens Family here. Do you need any help?"
Liam had always remembered the kindness Chloe had shown the Lynch Family.
He would always ask if there’s anything he could help with.
Chloe replied indifferently, "If necessary, I’ll let the Lynch Family know."
Liam breathed a sigh of relief. The Lynch Family had always owed Chloe a favor, but there was never an opportunity to repay it.
"As long as Miss Chloe speaks, our Lynch Family will definitely help you get things done."
"Mhmm."
After hanging up the phone, Chloe looked at Morgan.
As Morgan was setting up his computer and saw Chloe’s gaze, he asked, "Miss Stephens, is there anything you need?"
"Who said you could work here?"
"..."
Chloe hadn’t said anything about him living here before.
"Get out."
"..."
Morgan did buy a place nearby, but he didn’t stay there. He chose to stay with Chloe, which was quite a problem.

In the Lynch family house, Daniel Lynch came in from the front door after Liam had answered the phone call, "Dad, what did Chloe say?"
Liam had already ordered everyone in the family to be on alert and ready to act on Chloe’s orders at any time.
"I’ve already called her. Once she needs help, our Lynch Family will take immediate action. You should stay in school and not interfere in these matters."
"Dad, I’m not a child anymore. My cultivation has improved a lot recently. I originally wanted to accompany Auntie into Dark City for training, but I was worried about the family, so I stayed to help. If you exclude me, how am I supposed to fight on my own in the future?" Daniel wanted to grow stronger as soon as possible and join the Lynch Family’s inner strengths.
Liam chuckled, "From ancient times, do you think any family prospered on the strength of individual combat alone?"
Daniel wanted to work with the members of the Lynch family. "Other family descendants have been involved in family business since they were eleven or twelve, learning more skills from the elders and getting closer to the core of the family. But what about me? I’m still learning the rules and regulations at school outside."
Liam furrowed his brows, staring at Daniel. "Do you know how many disciples covet such orderly learning? Don’t take your blessings for granted. You don’t need to be overly involved in family affairs for the time being."
At this age, his son should not be burdened by family chores and responsibilities.
If Daniel could still live such a relaxed life now, it would mean that the Lynch Family was not as far down as the Fisher Family.
Daniel left with a sullen expression.
His spirit was low, even when he went to school the next day.
As soon as he entered the classroom and saw Chloe, he rushed over, "When did you come to school? When did you come back?"
Abigail Wilson glanced at him, "Keep your voice down."
She had been covering for Chloe all this while, but Daniel was so careless to blurt it out.
Chloe Stephens has been taking too many leaves of absence, and quite a few people have opinions about it.
Daniel Lynch spoke up directly, telling everyone that Chloe was shirking her duties when she took time off.
Daniel shrugged: "Actually, you could just apply for a half-academic learning program."
"I already applied."
Chloe had submitted that application to George Howard, who then handed it to the principal for approval.
For people from large families like them, managing the family business or returning to the family for study are common excuses for applying, as long as there are legitimate reasons.
In the future, as long as they can maintain a ranking within the top ten in their class, they don’t need to focus on formal learning.
Chloe quite liked this type of freeform education.
"The principal has been holding back approval," Abigail Wilson whispered, leaning in towards Chloe. "I heard it’s because someone was interfering out of jealousy, trying to prevent the principal from signing it. But with the way things are for you now, it doesn’t matter whether the principal signs it or not."
Chloe also thought it didn’t matter.
Daniel signaled Chloe to go out for a bit.
The two went to a hidden corner, "I heard that the Stephens Family has been targeted by quite a few people recently."
Chloe nodded, "It will get solved."
"How will it get solved? From what I’ve heard, even people from the hidden Dark City have come forward. Can your Stephens Family really handle it? I’m worried that even with both our Lynch Family and yours combined, it may not be enough to suppress the forces of Dark City."
Daniel’s gaze was filled with worry looking at Chloe.
"It will be settled."
"Aren’t you worried at all?"
"As they all enter the Stephens Family, there’d be many solid reasons for the family to take action."
"What do you mean?" Daniel sensed that Chloe was brewing something.
Chloe turned to leave: "It will be resolved."
"I could help!" Daniel followed behind and upon raising his head saw Oliver Gordon passing by on the other side.
Daniel raised his eyebrows. When did he get there?
Chloe didn’t give Oliver a glance, and Oliver didn’t dare to look their way either.
Ever since that incident last time, Oliver had been keeping a low profile at school, and his brain seemed to have some problems, causing his grades to plummet.
His family was preparing to transfer him back to high school in the mountain county.
"Don’t just add chaos."
Chloe did not plan to involve Daniel, and she presumed the Lynch family felt the same.
With no other choice, Daniel found Mason Sullivan and Franklin Walter after school at noon, telling them there might be trouble for the Stephens family and asking for their help.
If the Stephens family had an issue, that meant Chloe had an issue.
Once Daniel mentioned it, Franklin nodded: "How can we help? What exactly is going on in the background? I need to understand the situation."
"I’ll explain the specifics later, but for now, let’s not tell Chloe about this. She definitely doesn’t want us to intervene, so we have to do something for her at least."
Franklin hesitated, "Are you sure it won’t inconvenience her?"
Mason added, "...Should we just ask her?"
"I already asked, she wants to solve it on her own," Daniel said. "This time is different; we have to do something for her."
Mason and Franklin exchanged a look, then said nothing.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Hawthorne family members had been operating under the radar in Sheffield City since infiltrating it. Even the Slaughter Squad hadn’t detected their traces.
The Slaughter Squad, tasked with dealing with the Watsons family, had sent many of their members away.
Those left behind formed a small team with many tasks to handle each day, inevitably leading to oversights in this area.
The Slaughter Squad had only noticed some unusual signs, and had reported them to Len Hawthorne.
By nightfall, Chloe appeared at a dark street corner, her cold gaze sweeping over the figures moving in front of her.
On another street, two figures — one large and one small — chased a few shadows toward Chloe’s direction. She intercepted the two figures.
The small figure abruptly turned over: "Sister!"
