Chapter 664: Chapter 628: Old Man, Follow (17 More)

"Little girl," Leslie Wrigley tried to make himself appear as harmless as possible. His tone was gentle, "It’s the same question. I hope I could get some answers from you."

After all, Leslie had lived so many years. He had good control over his emotions and aura.

His eyes, initially exuding aggression, were now covered in a thin layer of apparent mercy.

At first glance, he seemed like a kind old man.

But, having been born and raised in the Dark City as a member of the Wrigley family and the alliance, it was impossible for him to be an old person filled with compassion.

He could only deceive people like Quinn Findley.

"What answers do you want?"

The girl’s tone was crisp and cold, reminiscent of another person he knew.

At first taken aback, Leslie proceeded with his question. "I just want to know the way out."

Chloe bypassed him and looked at the people behind him. "Who brought you here?"

"This..." Leslie looked troubled.

Others might not have insisted on knowing more details upon seeing his reaction.

But, Chloe was different. Seeing his silence, she continued to eat her meat, ignoring Leslie as if he didn’t exist.

Leslie instantly realized that the girl in front of him wasn’t like most girls.

"Little girl, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but there are some unspeakable truths," he said, followed by a sigh.

He sounded so helpless.

Looking at this, the others, including Quinn, were a bit moved.

However, seeing Chloe eating her meat as if she didn’t hear him, they decided not to interfere.

"Little girl, I have a family waiting for me to go back home. We weren’t placed here because we did something wrong but because of an accident. We’ve been here for several years now, unable to get out. If you could tell us where the exit is, the Wrigleys of Dark City will reward you handsomely. Of course, if you want to learn to cultivate, I can provide you with the methods," he continued.

As long as Chloe and her group revealed the exit location.

Quinn and the rest couldn’t help but feel enticed.

If they could learn about the ancient martial arts, that would be amazing.

But Chloe remained unperturbed.

Seeing Chloe not taking the bait, Leslie frowned, sensing his displeasure.

He was, after all, an aged man of high stature. Grovelling at the feet of a girl was already a significant condescension, and he was growing impatient.

"Young girl, are you really unwilling to lend us a hand?" He asked coldly.

Sensing the hostility in Leslie’s words, Quinn and others instantly stood up and positioned themselves in front of Chloe.

"Old man, don’t say we didn’t warn you. If you want to leave, you’ll have to go through our Miss Chloe Stephens. Stop throwing your weight around, or you’ll be the first one we take care of," they said.

Stimulated by Quinn’s words, Leslie’s face turned as dark as coal.

He was furious. He’d lived for so long, and this was the first time someone dared to speak to him like that.

To kill him, they’d have to see what these mercenaries could do.

A bunch of ordinary people... just present him an opportunity, and he could eliminate them. Still, they dared to threaten him.

Leslie gave Chloe a cold look before turning around and returning to his original position.

Having lost face in front of his younger generation, Leslie’s eyes were dark and threatening, but he held back.

In the next few days.

They kept moving forward, encountering many dangers.

But every time, Chloe turned the tables in their favor.

Strangely, the birds and beasts in this place seemed bewitched by Chloe, starting off fiercely aggressive, then becoming docile like little babies. The people following them were dumbfounded, eventually growing numb to this.

After six continuous days of travel, they turned back.

This mission felt more like tourism. They were too embarrassed to accept the money Chloe offered them.

On their way back, those people still followed them.

They knew they could only leave this place by following Chloe.

During the journey back, they kept their distance. By the time they were nearing the return, this group of people had run ahead, reaching the entrance before the others.

Quinn Findley and his friends suspected these people were mainly concerned about Chloe Stephens suddenly making a move.

"Miss Chloe Stephens, I believe they might want to leave with us. Do we need to bring them along?" Quinn Findley really didn’t want to leave with these people.

They had been very impolite from the start.

After that day, these people followed from a distance, rarely asking unnecessary questions or conversing.

They returned to their original location on the third day.

Adding the previous six days, they had stayed here for nine days.

Perhaps because the scenery here was too good, they had been walking slower and slower.

In fact, Chloe liked to roast all kinds of meat every meal, which was what had slowed down their pace.

They were extremely worried about Pierce Stephens, who was living in the house. It was nearly ten days now and they had yet to return.

All Pierce could do every day was stand and take a few glances inside, then return to his original place to cultivate.

He found that cultivating here made his progress twice as efficient and it was easier for him to advance than outside.

He had felt it very clearly in just a few days.

Since encountering Pingjing, he had not taken a step further.

This time, he suddenly took a big step forward, which scared him.

Sheffield City.

Len Hawthorne was hurriedly leading his team into Dark City.

Just having barely managed to suppress Zimmer’s people, who had existed for thousands of years, and incarcerate them in a special Water Dungeon, he himself returned, heavily injured.

Before he had time to heal, he learned from the Stephens family that Chloe had taken her people into Dark City and immediately followed them in without stopping.

It was just last night.

Len Hawthorne received news that Victoria Jefferson had once again entered Dark City. Despite Jimmy Turner and his team having already followed her in, he was still worried that Chloe would run into her inside.

Therefore, he ignored his injuries and went into Dark City to assess the situation first.

They moved quickly.

The car sped along the roads in Dark City. Here, traffic did not have to wait for red and green lights like in the world outside and inadvertently hit any reckless pedestrians running out.

They drove all the way, asking for the direction of the Stephens family as they went along.

Upon getting directions to the Davies family, Len Hawthorne didn’t hesitate and took off.

"Bang!"

Midway, a figure suddenly dashed out.

It crashed into the middle of their vehicle, scattering them apart.

Alex Stephens climbed up from the ground and advanced again.

His movements were quicker than they had been a few days ago.

Len Hawthorne stopped the car and looked at Alex, who was sparring on the other side. He didn’t do anything for the time being.

"Young Master Hawthorne, who is that?"

Ethan Coates watched as the masked young man attacked with increasing speed, his opponents were swiftly defeated.

Unable to resist, he moved the car a bit closer to watch the spectacle.

"Alex Stephens."

"Ah? That cousin Chloe recognized at the doorstep?"

He had seen Alex before, but because he was wearing a mask, he didn’t recognize him at first.

Len Hawthorne leaned on the car window, taking a glance outside.

Not far away, Paul Wrigley was sharply sweeping his gaze over this way before giving a slight nodside.

Seeing that there were people there to protect, Len Hawthorne didn’t delay any longer and immediately drove away.

Alex, now unmasked, turned his head and saw the vehicle team leaving amidst the dust. He wondered, "Did something happen to the Slaughter Squad?"

"It’s Captain Hawthorne."

"Len Hawthorne," Alex thought of Chloe and wondered if she was in Len Hawthorne’s car. He put his mask back on and strode outside.

Paul Wrigley followed, "Where to?"

"Follow Len Hawthorne and his team. Chloe could be among them. They’re in such a hurry, something must have happened."

He had to go see for himself.
