Chapter 657: Chapter 621: The hard-to-please youngster, borrowing land to raise people (10 updates)

"The herbs from Dark City and the dangerous places are hard to find, and they require a lot of money to gather. It’s not about how much you can give, but how much you have."

Chloe Stephens’s expression was very serious.

It didn’t look like she was joking.

But Adam Stephens always felt that his daughter was playing a trick.

Pierce Stephens whispered, "Whether it’s manpower, resources, or financial support, we can provide it all, as long as we can save Cody."

Charlotte Richardson also echoed and nodded, "As long as we can save him, we can give you anything you want."

Charlotte’s implication was very clear.

She was offering Adam the highest power.

However, Chloe showed no expression and said, "Whatever I want, the Stephens family can’t give me, not even Dexter Stephens, the Stephens family’s ancestor."

Pierce Stephens was stunned and wanted to ask something, but Chloe continued, "Since we want to save people, let’s get prepared."

"Prepare what?" Charlotte asked blankly.

Chloe turned around, facing the door, holding her hands slightly behind her, and spoke with an imposing aura, "Dark City."

It’s time for the bills to be settled!

Dark City.

"Bang!"

Alex Stephens was slightly tilted, and his body was pushed back by a strong force.

In the rising dust, Alex gritted his teeth and rushed forward again.

Hand-to-hand combat.

"Hmph! Overestimating your abilities!"

The opponent was quite arrogant.

But he had the skills to back up his arrogance, as his talent was indeed high.

During his ancient martial arts cultivation, he received help from external forces.

Alex also had some talent, but compared to those who moved around in Dark City, he was slightly inferior.

He also relied on external forces to help his cultivation.

The opponent was older than him, probably in his thirties or forties, but those who practiced ancient martial arts appeared younger.

"Bang!"

Crushed again.

Behind him.

A figure appeared, wearing black clothes and a black mask, with a pair of cold and determined eyes.

He grabbed Alex by the waist and pulled him back, releasing his grip and then striking forward with a palm.

The person who had fought with Alex laughed sarcastically, dodging and retreating, not fighting with Paul Wrigley.

The opponent’s mocking laugh deeply provoked Alex.

But he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Ever since coming to Dark City, everyone knew that there was someone who always protected him.

And that person was none other than Paul Wrigley, one of the former Nineteen Dragon Guards.

Even though he was already in his forties, he looked like a harmless young man in his twenties with a handsome face.

That was Alex’s evaluation of his face.

Among the Nineteen Dragon Guards, only Paul was fortunate enough to escape.

Changing his attire and abandoning the mission of a Dragon Guard, he accepted Chloe’s task of guarding Alex until the day he no longer needed his protection.

As the crowd dispersed, Alex tightened his face without saying a word.

Neither of them was a talkative person. After the arena-style fight was over, Alex silently returned to the small courtyard he rented in Dark City.

Quietly cooking, Paul Wrigley stood indifferently beside him, watching him finish cooking and then sitting down together to eat.

"Slap!"

Ifuriated, Alex suddenly stopped eating.

Paul pursed his lips and looked at him with icy eyes.

With that face, he looked both cold and innocent.

"Can you not interfere the next time I fight in an arena?"

Paul Wrigley said indifferently, "I don’t want to take care of the wounded."

"You..."

"It wasn’t a real arena match, so you don’t need to feel inferior and get angry out of shame."

"I didn’t get angry out of shame!" Alex Stephens gritted his teeth.

Paul Wrigley looked at him for a moment, then quickly finished the rice in his bowl and began to clean up quietly.

Watching Paul Wrigley washing the dishes, Alex gritted his teeth, finally persuading himself not to worry about these things.

If he didn’t want to be protected, he needed to surpass Paul and defeat him.

After putting away the dishes, Paul put on a mask and went outside to find Alex practicing. He suddenly attacked him.

Paul Wrigley’s attack was swift, giving Alex no chance to dodge or counter.

Alex was flung a long distance, crashing to the ground. The food he had just eaten was almost shaken out of him in the process.

He suspected that Paul did it on purpose.

"What are you doing?" Alex thought he had been patient enough, but since this guy had followed him, he noticed he had become more irritable.

The answer was Paul Wrigley’s shadow-like sweep, so fast that even ancient martial artists would be impressed.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Every hit landed perfectly, leaving Alex unable to fight back.

Although Alex was being battered all over, he didn’t feel too much pain.

Alex instantly understood that Paul had intentionally gone easy on him.

This time, he really grew angry out of shame. As he wiped the dirt off his face, he stared coldly at Paul Wrigley: "So, is this your way of insulting me?"

"I’m telling you not to care too much about winning or losing. As long as the process can make you improve, that’s enough."

"You come here to beat me up like this, and it’s not insulting!" He was forced to recognize the reality; he was not as good as Paul Wrigley!

Paul Wrigley felt that dealing with a young boy was difficult.

He couldn’t appease the boy’s anger, and their future interactions would be fraught with tension.

Paul Wrigley raised an eyebrow: "You can fight back."

Seeing Paul Wrigley assume a pose that invited attack, Alex snorted with a mix of anger and laughter. The cold and aloof young man stared at him intently.

In Alex’s view, Paul Wrigley was insulting him.

What did he mean by ’you can fight back’? Did he really think Alex was a three-year-old child who would cry out in pain after falling and let it go at that?

Alex angrily kicked the nearby wall and returned to his room.

It was ridiculous that he was bothered by a blockhead like Paul Wrigley.

Paul Wrigley’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. He didn’t understand what was wrong with Alex. He had already said that he could fight back, so why was Alex still acting like a child?

But then again, Alex was just a 20-year-old young man. To Paul, he was nothing more than a child.

A team entered Dark City with a patient in tow.

It wasn’t really anything strange.

Dark City was a good place for causing wounds and healing them.

There were always many people coming and going, so only those who were particularly interested would pay attention to these things.

At the entrance of the Davies Family home.

Pierce Stephens and Charlotte Richardson exchanged glances. When Chloe Stephens said she wanted to come to the Davies Family, they were very resistant. After all, Jason Davies hated them to the bone. Even though the misunderstanding was cleared up, they still couldn’t be sure whether Jason Davies believed them or not.

Or perhaps he was still suspicious of what they had said.

Chloe Stephens wore a pale mask without any patterns. Below the mask were a pair of deep black eyes.

These eyes seemed to pierce through people’s hearts and see their dirtiest side.

Ever since Chloe destroyed the big horn and the wireless surveillance last time, the Davies Family had switched to guard posts.

The guards saw them and hurried inside to report.

It didn’t take long for a group of casually dressed people, young and old, to come out to greet them. The Davies Family Patriarch, with a dark, gloomy face, glared at them: "You are from the Stephens Family?"

Pierce Stephens took off his mask first, "Yes, we are from the Stephens Family."

"Pierce Stephens, you have the nerve..." The Davies Family Patriarch instinctively wanted to curse, but stopped himself, remembering something, and asked coldly, "What are you here for?"

"To borrow a place to nurse someone," Chloe Stephens stepped forward and said calmly, "The Davies Family has a mountain range in their territory that is very suitable for patients to recover."

Finally, the Davies Family Patriarch noticed Cody Stephens lying behind them. His face darkened again. "What do you think the Davies Family is, a hospital? We don’t receive outsiders here. Please leave."

The misunderstanding might have been resolved, but there was no reason for the Stephens Family to be allowed in again.
