Chapter 517: Chapter 481: Mistaking Pearls for Fish Eyes, Dark City Plot (Third Update)
In the rain curtain.
Several people in camouflage clothes quickly approached.
They silently stood behind Len Hawthorne and Chloe Stephens.
Waiting for something.
"Clean up the scene," Len Hawthorne turned around and ordered the Slaughter Squad members.
All the Slaughter Squad members started to move.
Len Hawthorne approached Pierce Stephens, "Master Stephens, the chaos outside is not less than that of your family. Our Slaughter Squad will clean it up."
Pierce Stephens slowly recovered from his shock and looked uncertainly at the girl standing quietly behind Len Hawthorne. He nodded slightly to Len, "As for our Stephens Family, we’ll clean up here and won’t let anyone outside know what happened within our family."
Ordinary people could not understand why there was such a change in the Stephens Family overnight.
Len Hawthorne slightly smiled and took a step back, "We won’t erase the memories of the Stephens Family members for now, but I don’t want the Stephens Family to use this to do something they shouldn’t."
Pierce Stephens knew the importance of the matter.
Len Hawthorne turned around, and with a swipe on Chloe’s head, he walked a few steps forward and disappeared into the rainy night.
Several members of Slaughter Squad quickly followed.
Cleaning up the events that happened in Sheffield City tonight would also be a huge undertaking, and the Slaughter Squad might not finish cleaning up all the traces by working overnight.
Moreover, judging by Len Hawthorne’s appearance, something unexpected had happened during the process.
The members of the Stephens Family remained stunned, watching the Slaughter Squad take action to handle the members of various families.
Even after the Slaughter Squad left, the Stephens Family members still had their eyes on Chloe.
Until now.
They still couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed.
This lifetime’s most shocking event happened right on Chloe.
Was this the waste their Stephens Family always thought of?
It was simply ridiculous.
They had mistaken a pearl for a fish’s eye!
If it weren’t for Chloe, the Stephens Family tonight would have been completely destroyed.
A destruction even more tragic than that of Fisher Family, chilling to the bone and making their scalps tighten at the mere thought of it.
"Chloe..."
Pierce Stephens called out in a hoarse voice.
However, Chloe turned around without any expression on her face, looking in the direction where Len Hawthorne had left.
Her hand clenched slightly.
"Chloe, Len won’t be in any trouble, and there are still members of the Slaughter Squad with him."
Adam Stephens really couldn’t bear to see his daughter showing such an expression.
Despite her seemingly calm eyes, they revealed subtle concern.
From the conversation between the two earlier, it seemed that from the beginning, Len hasn’t taken Adam’s previous warning to heart.
He still kept close to his daughter.
"Stephens Family, leave it to you."
After saying this, Chloe gestured, and the black cat jumped in front of her, instantly resuming its original form.
Both the cat and the girl headed towards the rain curtain.
Morgan Crowley came to his senses: "Stephens Godfrey! Wait for me!"
Two hours later.
Imperial Capital.
The Hawthorne Family.
Steve Hawthorne woke up from his sleep, and immediately heard the terrible news.
He was stunned on the spot.
The high-level members of the Hawthorne Family gathered in the conference hall.
Josh Hawthorne’s wife and daughter suddenly broke in, their eyes red and swollen.
Josh Hawthorne’s wife stormed in, looked at Steve Hawthorne, and trembled with anger in her voice, asked, "Was it Len, was it?!"
The last sentence was almost roared out.
Steve Hawthorne furrowed his brows.
"Mom, we have to believe that Grandfather will execute justice for us, and will not let off the person who killed my dad easily." Josh Hawthorne’s daughter, Madeline Hawthorne, also had red eyes as she pulled at her mother’s hand, her gaze sweeping across the room.
The Hawthorne Family elders nodded to Josh’s wife, indicating that they would find out the truth and do justice for Josh.
As the mother and daughter were sent away, Steve Hawthorne coldly issued an order: "Send a message to Sheffield City, summoning Len Hawthorne back to the Hawthorne Family."
Being able to kill so many people in the Hawthorne Family, everyone’s cultivation in Josh’s group was not weak. They couldn’t think of anyone other than Len who could do it.
Even if he could kill some of his own relatives, Len couldn’t escape this time.
Helping to erase some people’s memories, Chloe stood under the eaves to avoid the rain, and several figures followed her closely from behind.
"Ancestral god!"
Chloe turned her head and looked at Evan Taylor: "You are seriously injured."
Evan Taylor said in shame, "It was someone from Dark City, with cultivation possibly beyond 300 years."
It might even be higher.
Enough to match Chloe’s current cultivation.
Chloe looked towards the direction of Dark City’s entrance, "Any suspects?"
Evan Taylor shook his head: "There are many experts in Dark City. With my age of just over a hundred years, I’m not knowledgeable enough about them."
Chloe nodded, "Take your people back for treatment and find ways to enhance cultivation."
Evan Taylor led the Taylors back to the Taylor Family.
At this time, at the border of Sheffield City.
Jimmy Turner killed two red-robed holy witches, took off their headscarves, and searched their bodies for any signs. They were clean, with not a trace left behind.
Even their robes were patternless.
Footsteps came from behind, Team Hawthorne had arrived.
Looking at the wounds on Jimmy Turner’s body and then at the two holy witches, Len Hawthorne said, "In the end, they couldn’t escape your grasp."
Jimmy Turner said expressionlessly: "One escaped."
"Commander Turner should really cultivate well," said Len as he walked in front of the two and turned them over with his foot.
"There is no trace. We have a good hold of the external world with the Slaughter Squad. Even if there are any oversights, several people won’t slip through at the same time. I suspect it is someone from Dark City who is controlling some schemes, what do you think?"
Len Hawthorne smiled coldly: "It coincides with my thoughts, so let’s send people to investigate Dark City!"
"I’ll arrange for the clean-up," Jimmy Turner turned his head and glanced at Sheffield City behind him, "you continue to guard the city."
"I’ll leave it to you," Len didn’t intend to take anyone with him.
He was a bit worried about Chloe’s state.
The burst of power terrified him.
It was an indescribable subtle feeling he had never felt before.
Thinking back to his return and seeing Chloe standing in the deep pit, Len Hawthorne couldn’t help but fix his gaze.
At that moment, he had a strange feeling.
Feeling that Chloe would feather and ascend, and no matter how he tried, he wouldn’t be able to catch her.
Len Hawthorne’s heart was a bit restless, he reached in his camouflage pants pocket looking for a cigarette but found none.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind, holding a pack of his usual brand of cigarettes on the fair and flawless hand.
Looking at the cigarette in this hand, Len let out a low chuckle, "Little Chloe, are you trying to spoil me?"
As he laughed, his eyes squinted. Seeing the enchanting evildoer in the rain, Chloe furrowed her brow: "Do you want it or not?"
"Of course, I want it! How can I refuse a cigarette offered by Little Chloe!"
His big hand grabbed the cigarette, touching her fingertips. Her hand was cold, even colder than usual.
Packing away the cigarette, his big hand suddenly grabbed hers, his handsome brows furrowing: "Why is it so cold? It’s ice cold."
It felt like a dead person’s hand.
Chloe looked at the big hand that suddenly grabbed her, her black pupils slightly shrank, she suddenly pulled her hand away, looking even colder.
Len pointed to a building in front of him: "Go and find a place to take a hot bath."
Chloe glanced at the building, it was a grand hotel.
Appearing at the hotel, Chloe and Len walked into the elevator under the watchful eyes of the hotel receptionist.
Len glanced at the well-behaved girl next to him, finding it hard to believe that such a girl could be a ruthless fighter who took no mercy!
