Chapter 591: Chapter 555: A Strong Person Close to a Deity, Do You Like Her? (2nd update)

"I’m sorry, I couldn’t save her."

Chloe stared into Len Hawthorne’s eyes and said.

Len Hawthorne raised his hand to touch her head, "You did your best, and I regret not stopping you sooner, almost letting you lose your life."

"At that level, the backlash wouldn’t have killed me."

She knew her limits, so she would also protect herself in a situation where she couldn’t save someone.

So far, nothing has appeared that could cause her to lose her rationality.

" True, but elder brother must have felt scared afterwards. The losses on Watsons Family’s side were not small. The grievances between Stephens Family and Watsons Family are now settled. Hawthorne family has its own way of resolving things, just like Fisher Family. They won’t harm ordinary people."

"I know, the rule for dealing with ordinary people is to seal off one’s cultivation and use hand-to-hand combat to determine the winner."

Confronting ordinary people while maintaining the mode of an ordinary person, but with an extra layer of more robust protection, is still unfair to ordinary people, after all.

Chloe understood, so Len Hawthorne didn’t further explain why he had not pursued complete slaughter.

"The person behind the scenes has appeared," Len Hawthorne’s voice was slightly hoarse, and his eyes were a bit darker, "Now it’s almost certain that this ubiquitous person has been watching our every move, Little Chloe. What do you think?"

Chloe was still extremely cold, "Find them and break their neck."

Seeing the little girl like this, Len Hawthorne couldn’t help but laugh, his mood improved a lot, "Add elder brother to it."

"He didn’t take action, which might be because of certain restrictions," Chloe guessed.

"If there were no restrictions, we would have been captured by the other side long ago," so their chances of twisting the enemy’s head off were high.

Chloe looked at him and suddenly said another sentence: "The death of those around you has nothing to do with your fate."

Len Hawthorne was stunned and stared at her closely.

Chloe felt a little uncomfortable being stared at so directly and was about to ask him what was the matter.

She was suddenly pulled into his warm chest. Chloe instinctively tried to push him away with her hands.

A deep male voice came from above her head: "If you don’t want to comfort elder brother, let elder brother take a little advantage, elder brother’s mood will be much better."

Chloe: "..."

In the dark night after the rain, the cold wind blew on them.

The deep, abyss-like eyes of Len Hawthorne stared at the low tombstones in front of him.

At the moment of holding the little girl.

He thought that he would try to let go of his inexplicable affection for Chloe.

Granny’s death made him even more afraid to gamble on a possibility and exception.

*

Walking side by side.

Chloe and Len Hawthorne looked up to see the figure standing motionlessly in front of the road.

Morgan Crowley and Albert Webb turned their heads simultaneously.

Morgan Crowley frowned slightly.

It was the guy from the Godfrey Family.

When did he get there?

Austin Godfrey was like a knife’s edge cutting through the night. As he approached, the feeling grew even more intense.

He calmly looked at Len Hawthorne and said, "Regarding the person at the Punitive Expedition Conference, Great Grandfather wants to discuss with you, Chloe can come with you too."

Len Hawthorne narrowed his deep black eyes, the invisible aura spread and immediately crushed Austin Godfrey’s sharpness.

It seemed as if Len Hawthorne’s aura existed to smooth out the edges of all people.

"Let’s go then."

*

Inside the Godfrey Family residence, it was exceptionally quiet.

Especially after the Punitive Expedition Conference ended, the ancient martial families retreated from the Imperial Capital in a low profile.

The extermination of a large ancient clan like Hawthorne family served as a lesson to other ancient martial families and kept them in check.

But the hidden threats still existed.

They couldn’t confirm the exact location where the person behind the creation of these bio-creatures was hiding, nor could they confirm their true intentions.

The only thing they could say for sure was that this person was after Chloe Stephens from the very beginning, and intended to break the covenant between Herta Kingdom and Western Europe.

Entering the Godfrey Family.

Allen Godfrey was already standing under the cool moonlit night, waiting for them.

As an individual, Allen Godfrey has always been a mysterious and powerful existence.

No matter who heard the name Allen Godfrey, their thoughts would be filled with various associations.

However.

With Len Hawthorne standing next to him, all eyes would be taken away from Allen Godfrey.

With no doubt, Len Hawthorne was always the most eye-catching one.

His character, which was both righteous and evil at times, could also be confusing to people.

"Why don’t you talk now that I’m here?" Len spoke with cold sarcasm as soon as he arrived, "I really don’t want to be in the Godfrey Family unless it’s for a special reason."

From the beginning, Len felt a sense of discomfort in the Godfrey Family.

He had always been quite clear in expressing his dislike for Allen Godfrey, whether it was due to resentment over having his fate determined by Allen, leaving him to struggle in misery, or for other reasons.

"At the Punitive Expedition Conference, we all felt it. You were the only one who had fought against that person. We want to know how it felt when you exchanged blows with him."

As soon as Allen Godfrey spoke, Len raised his eyebrow, "So, the Godfrey Family wants to meddle in other people’s affairs again."

"Captain Hawthorne, you’ve misunderstood," Allen Godfrey said calmly, "We just want to confirm something crucial concerning the life and death of all ancient martial artists."

Chloe looked at Allen Godfrey and said, "So, you suspect... it was him who made the prophecy."

"What suspicion? What prophecy?" Len’s phoenix eyes narrowed, catching the important keywords.

"A prophecy concerning the life and death of all ancient martial artists," Allen Godfrey slowly said while looking at Len.

Allen Godfrey’s gaze made Len feel as if he were the one being spoken about, which Len found amusing, "The Godfrey Family might as well accuse me by name, saying that I, Len Hawthorne, am the demon causing trouble in the ancient martial world."

It was because of this point that Len disliked Allen Godfrey so much.

He also did not like Austin Godfrey, who was standing next to him.

Allen Godfrey didn’t respond to Len’s sarcasm but instead looked at Chloe, "You felt it too, that person, they may no longer be considered human."

Instead, they were like a god-like existence.

Perhaps that was the ultimate pinnacle of ancient martial arts cultivation.

Allen Godfrey had been constantly wondering what such a state would be like.

Unfortunately, his time was up.

That mystery should be left to people like Chloe.

Len didn’t like the way Allen Godfrey looked at Chloe.

Strategically positioning his tall body in front of her, Len looked at Allen Godfrey, "So, you came to see me for this? That person was intangible, and I couldn’t capture them at all. As for my feelings...powerless. You must have experienced this kind of powerlessness when facing strong opponents."

Allen Godfrey suddenly warned Chloe, "Be careful from now on."

He couldn’t always be there to protect her.

"I will protect Little Chloe; the Godfrey Family does not need to bother," Len gestured with his hand and said to Chloe, "Little Chloe, shouldn’t we leave now?"

Chloe nodded slightly to Allen Godfrey and followed Len away.

Austin looked at Allen and said, "I’ll take care of Chloe."

"Chloe will not stay in one place forever. Eventually, the covenant will be lifted, and she will continue searching as she did before..."

"Searching?" Austin was taken aback, "What is she looking for?"

Allen shook his head, "I don’t know. I, who used to be her friend, couldn’t accompany her on this journey. Austin, I hope you can take my place in watching over her, as a friend."

Austin nodded, "I will watch over her on your behalf."

After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked the question that had been troubling his heart, "Do you love her?"

Allen was taken aback, as if no one had ever asked him such a strange question. "Chloe and I are just friends; we have never had any thoughts that crossed the line."

It seemed as if this statement was also a warning to Austin: Do not have such thoughts towards Chloe.
