Chapter 557: Chapter 521: Her Heart is like a Pool of Stagnant Water (1 more)

Len Hawthorne stopped, and Allen Godfrey didn’t think it was necessary to keep fighting him.

Returning to the Godfrey South Gate, Chloe and Austin Godfrey looked over simultaneously.

Both of them were uninjured.

They looked very calm.

But something was off about Len, his face deadlier than Allen’s and emitting a sense of rage. He grabbed Chloe’s arm and said coldly, "Let’s go."

Chloe was shoved into the car without even saying goodbye, and the car sped off quickly, leaving the Godfrey Family grounds.

"You’re angry."

What did Allen say to him? His temper had become so poor.

Len Hawthorne clenched the steering wheel and said coldly, "I am not."

"The steering wheel will break if you keep clenching it like that."

Len took a deep breath, smiled helplessly, "Can’t you just console me a bit, Little Chloe? I fought that old Godfrey fellow for you."

"I didn’t ask you to fight him," Chloe said.

"..."

She shouldn’t have expected a little girl to console anyone.

"Why did you have to fight him?" Chloe asked.

"Our Four Pillars of Destiny don’t get along with the Godfrey Family’s."

Len came up with a simple reason.

But Chloe turned to look at him quietly, her gaze fixed on his face.

Before, Len would have changed the subject with a joke to divert her attention, but now he felt guilty under her gaze.

It baffled him.

He had never been this weak before.

"Has Little Chloe fallen for her elder brother?" He laughed awkwardly.

Chloe looked away, and said softly, "You’re not yourself."

Len Hawthorne chuckled, "What’s wrong with me?"

"You were very angry just now," she couldn’t quite pinpoint what was off.

She was a bit cold, having lived so long, her emotions were difficult to provoke.

So she was relatively colder toward others, but it didn’t mean she was dull-witted, with a low IQ.

Nor did it mean that she didn’t understand anything.

Although it was subtle, Chloe still sensed some changes in Len.

"Big brother was worried you’d be treated poorly in the Godfrey Family and already warned you not to go, Little Chloe. Why did you still enter their home behind my back?" Len narrowed his eyes and stared at her.

Chloe furrowed her eyebrows and explained, "If I didn’t go today, I’d eventually have to go at some point. The Godfrey Family is not as bad as you think. They have protected peace for generations and haven’t done anything harmful."

"Little Chloe is not herself either, speaking so highly of the Godfrey Family. It seems she really has feelings for that old fellow," Len clenched the steering wheel, thinking of Allen’s face, and bit on the cigarette in his mouth.

He had the nerve to charm little girls despite his advanced age.

Chloe stared at Len again, a strange look in her eyes, "I’ve never had feelings for anyone."

She answered quite seriously.

Her heart was like a pool of stagnant water.

The person who could stir it seemed non-existent, yet there seemed to be one.

After hearing her words, Len felt happy for a moment but then discouraged the next second. It meant he wasn’t an exception.

Upon returning to the Slaughter Squad, Chloe went straight upstairs without paying attention to Len, who hesitated to speak.

Watching the girl enter the building, Len leaned back in the car seat, took out a lighter, and lit a cigarette. He held it between his slender fingers and rested his hand on the window sill.

The smoke curled up, blurring his deep, bottomless eyes.

In the twilight, his facial features appeared even more profound, and his seductive allure seemed softened by the dim yellow light.

"Knock knock knock!"

The glass window was tapped.

Len rolled down the car window and saw Ethan Coates’ annoying face.

"Young Master Hawthorne, what are you staring at so intently? You’re looking so melancholic, it’s making people feel something, are you lovesick?"

Len looked at Ethan, who had gotten into the car, and let out a cold laugh.

Ethan was startled, "Don’t laugh at me like that; I feel like I’m about to die."

"What’s the situation with the Watsons Family?"

"What else could it be? Just a bunch of youngsters wandering around and acting as cannon fodder. But the old woman from the Fisher Family is quite capable, going in and out of Dark City several times. Did the team member inside not come across her?" Ethan had been monitoring the Watsons Family.

Len thought about what happened in Dark City, and his eyes deepened.

He had been wondering why he could open the Golden Gate.

What was his connection to Dark City?

What was the deal with Chloe?

How many secrets were hidden in Dark City?

Those in hiding, the experts concealed within Dark City - why did they refuse to show themselves?

They had opened the Golden Gate; such a commotion should have spread rapidly.

"We’ll deal with Dark City later, let’s handle these two families first."

Ethan Coates worriedly said, "Once the Hawthorne Family targets you, you will be at a great disadvantage."

With Grandma Hawthorne around, it was like holding Len Hawthorne’s weakness firmly in their grasp.

Not only was Ethan Coates worried, but the entire Slaughter Squad was also concerned.

Len Hawthorne coldly said, "If the Hawthorne Family makes a move, it’s good to deal with them at the same time."

Ethan Coates knitted his brows, having an ominous premonition in his heart.

*

At 7 PM, a team member personally delivered the fried rice made by Len Hawthorne to Chloe Stephens’ room.

Looking at the fried rice in front of her, Chloe was silent for a while before she started to eat.

In Godfrey Family at this time.

At 7 PM, the sky had just darkened.

A black cat appeared out of nowhere, and Austin Godfrey suddenly reached out and grabbed it.

The black cat let out a loud cry.

Austin Godfrey let go of his hand, "It’s you."

"Meow."

Discovering that he understood the cat’s cry, Austin Godfrey: "..."

"Meow."

"Your master is Chloe Stephens."

"Meow."

"Familiarity doesn’t mean you can betray her."

"Meow!!!"

"If you don’t want to betray her, why come here?"

"Meow~~"

The black cat seemed wronged.

Under Austin Godfrey’s deep gaze, the black cat raised its head and looked at him with pitiful eyes.

Austin Godfrey pursed his lips, looked at the black cat indifferently for a while with a long hand, and then the black cat suddenly jumped onto his palm.

Chloe’s cat getting close to him was a bit strange.

The black cat nestled contentedly in his arms.

Austin Godfrey looked at the black cat in his arms, then looked up at the position of the moving stars, and looked back at the closed door.

The door suddenly opened, and he turned around.

Allen Godfrey, who came out, bowed his head slightly.

"Let’s go."

"You’re going out?"

Austin Godfrey was slightly surprised.

Allen Godfrey nodded, "An old friend is coming over, we have to receive them."

Allen Godfrey glanced at the black cat in his arms and was silent for a while, "This cat is hers."

"It’s Miss Stephens’."

"Such a spiritual cat, who recognizes only one master in its lifetime, will not easily get close to a second person unless the latter is the former’s true love."

Allen Godfrey’s words left Austin Godfrey dumbfounded, "Then, then this ..."

"Maybe there are exceptions, how long have you known Chloe Stephens?"

"I can’t remember..." Austin Godfrey subconsciously replied.

In fact, this time was the real acquaintance, before it was just a passing glance.

Allen looked deeply at Austin Godfrey, his words reminding him lightly, "Her identity is special, those who have seen her will be involuntarily attracted to her, but she’s aloof, and I’ve never seen her get close to anyone."

Even with friends, she would maintain a certain distance.

Sometimes it would make people feel that you don’t know if you’re really her friend or not.

Austin Godfrey found it strange that he should be reminded that way. He admitted that he had an inexplicable good feeling for Chloe, but it hadn’t reached that level yet, "I’ll keep it in mind."

Allen Godfrey didn’t want him to get hurt.

What he was most concerned about now was that Chloe, who was not close to people, was particularly close to someone like Len Hawthorne, and he didn’t know if that was good or bad.

"In the future, keep an eye on Len Hawthorne for me. Chloe getting close to him may not be a good thing."

Austin Godfrey raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that Allen Godfrey was leaving last words.

At this moment.

In the Slaughter Squad’s apartment.

As Chloe was in meditation, she suddenly sensed something, opened her eyes and instantly disappeared from her spot.

When she reappeared, she was in the Godfrey Family ancestral home courtyard.

A black hole appeared out of nowhere, and a figure walked out from inside.

Wearing a suit and leather shoes, tall and slim, with blue eyes and a gentle, tired temperament, coupled with his elegant smile, he was mesmerizing!

Their eyes met!

Time seemed to stand still!
