Chapter 691: Chapter 655: Ocean Search, Adam Stephens’ Anomaly (1 more)

Chloe Stephens had returned to Sheffield City half a month ago.

During this half month, she still went to school as usual.

Occasionally, she would go out for dinner with Adam Stephens and Yvette Foster.

The family spent these days harmoniously.

However, the peaceful life did not stop the turmoil within.

In school, people regarded Chloe as a deity-like existence.

Her icy demeanor gave people a mysterious and powerful feeling.

She still kept in touch with Len Hawthorne, knowing he had been leading his team to investigate that shadow in Dark City, but she didn’t intend to join the investigation.

She focused on being a good student outside.

Before she knew it, winter had arrived.

After finishing her evening self-study period, Chloe parted with Mason Sullivan and walked home quietly along the street.

The driver who came to pick her up had already been dismissed by her earlier.

By her side, a black cat hurriedly followed her steps.

They both enjoyed this leisurely life of theirs.

Even though the wind blowing at night was very cold.

Up ahead, a shadow appeared without a sound.

Chloe briefly paused but continued walking.

"Meow."

The black cat looked up at a tree by the roadside and jumped onto it.

The figure walked next to Chloe, lowering their voice, "Ancestral god, we haven’t found any suspicious traces inside and outside Sheffield City."

"Hmm."

"Do you suspect that thing is causing trouble in Sheffield City?" Evan Taylor asked.

At that time, they only saw the black mist heading in that direction and did not confirm whether the opponent entered Dark City.

Maybe.

The opponent itself might have been suppressed outside.

"Expand the search outside. The Lynch Family will cooperate with the Taylor Family’s actions."

"Yes."

As soon as Evan Taylor left, Herbert Maxwell’s phone call came in.

His tone was somewhat heavy, "Miss Chloe Stephens, there’s no movement in the ocean."

"The ocean is vast, and there are always some unknown things hidden in the deep sea. Look carefully."

"I’ll arrange for a detailed inspection immediately. However, we can only cover our own territory. As for other areas, I’m afraid we won’t be able to conduct a search openly." Herbert Maxwell had become a crew member on the naval ship just a month ago.

Using this position, he had been helping Chloe investigate the anomalies in the marine area.

Half a month later, they had not made any progress.

"I’ll find someone to search the remaining sea areas."

*

Inside Country M, Mallory received Chloe’s call and immediately set sail on a large cruise ship belonging to the Shelley Family, along with passengers bound for Oceania.

On the surface, they were having fun, but in reality, they were searching for any suspicious places in the marine area on behalf of Chloe.

Ever since their trip to the glacier, Chloe had suspected that a big secret was hidden in the ocean.area.

Exploring the deep sea was extremely difficult for ancient martial artists, witches, and ability users.

With their current technology, they still could not fully uncover the secrets of the deep sea.

After settling these matters, Chloe found herself unconsciously returning to the Stephens Family home.

She looked up at the towering gate and saw mountains, water, pavilions, and modern buildings rooted within several hectares of land.

She had no choice but to enter the Stephens Family home when she came back.

"Chloe?"

Adam stopped the car behind her, slid down the car window, and saw Chloe standing there lost in thought. Then he got out of the car.

Chloe glanced behind him, but Yvette didn’t follow.

"Why are you standing here, Chloe?"

"Taking a walk."

Adam: "..."

Chloe glanced at him again and suddenly asked, "Did something happen today?"

Adam said, "It’s just a minor business matter. Even as ancient martial artists, we still need to survive. To maintain survival, we need money. I can handle business affairs, so don’t worry."

Chloe stared at Adam, furrowing her brows, "The smell of perfume on you is strong."

"..." Adam coughed awkwardly, "During a social event, someone pushed two women towards me, and I probably got the smell then. Is it too strong?"

As he spoke, Adam took off his coat.

There was a faint mark on his collar.

Chloe pointed to his white shirt’s collar.

Adam looked down, his face changed, and he glanced quickly at Chloe, hurriedly explaining, "I accidentally got some dirt on this clothes at the company and had someone clean it..." At this point, Adam’s face changed again.

He didn’t notice anything wrong when he put it on at that time. Moreover, when his business partner laughingly pushed two women towards him, he pushed them out. He had just bumped into them slightly.

But he would never kiss in such a place.

Chloe just watched him quietly, not saying anything.

Adam became even more eager to explain his innocence, "Chloe, I really didn’t do anything."

Chloe didn’t say whether she believed him or not, she only reminded him, "Even the strongest woman can easily lose her reason when faced with jealousy and betrayal. Now, she is pregnant, and her emotional control will be even more fragile."

Adam’s face turned pale, "I’ll change my clothes right away."

"She carefully prepared those clothes for you. Women pay attention to details. If you change, it will raise even more suspicion."

Adam froze in place.

Seeing that he couldn’t speak, Chloe said again, "Speak to her directly."

"Just be completely honest?"

"Or do you want to hide it?"

After being lectured by his daughter, Adam reluctantly got back in the car with an even darker expression, ordering the driver to drive.

Chloe watched his car drive into the Stephens Family estate, but she did not follow.

Half an hour later.

Chloe appeared at the headquarters building of the Stephens Group.

Standing on top of the towering skyscraper, she looked down at the people and cars that seemed like ants below.

The mix of darkness and neon lights cast a hazy mist over Sheffield City.

Chloe couldn’t make out the appearance of the place.

It had been too quiet for the past half month.

This kind of peace gave people an unsettling illusion.

Since she was here, the people behind her could not make trouble.

The sudden relaxation of vigilance from Adam could mean that he had changed or that there were stronger ancient martial artists nearby.

There were no obvious signs surrounding the building.

She temporarily ruled out that possibility.

Chloe and the black cat rushed downstairs. In the midst of falling, the black cat suddenly leaped.

Instantly, it teleported with Chloe, who was halfway in the air, and disappeared.

A cat and a person left together.

In the bustling crowd and traffic, Albert Webb followed a moving black shadow.

Chasing it far away, it disappeared into the opposite direction in the crowd.

Albert Webb chased further forward when suddenly a white fog rushed towards him.

His eyes rolled back, and he fell stiffly to the ground.

A figure appeared behind Albert Webb, slowly squatting down, touching him. The person had an ambiguous voice, "Is he really Dilbert Jones?"

At this time, another woman’s voice came, "We escaped thanks to him."

"What a different era," the ambiguous voice came again, "Do you want to get rid of him?"

"We can’t touch him; we still need him to open the gap."
