Chapter 405 - Catching Up Part 2



Adam looked directly into Emma\'s eyes and she couldn\'t help but lean back and be intimidated. 

He was completely holding back his aura and all his killing intent, yet his red eyes would still cause anyone fear.

"Do you really want to become a cultivator like us, then go ahead?" said Adam.

"Stop playing the victim and wake up. If you have a problem with Cole that is slightly understandable, but I have suffered, endured and agonised alone and didn\'t come here looking for arguments" stated Adam.

"You see the pain in my eyes. I have killed so many people and creatures that I can\'t even keep count. I lost my most valued and only relative that was the only one that loved me unconditionally and truly cared for me. I had to fight and recklessly pounce on any opportunities to become the man I am before you and yet all I gained was burdens, responsibilities and a life that I would take back if I could" 

It was clear that Adam truly had experienced excruciating pain and suffering on innumerable occasions and had also experienced a lot.

.

He wanted to make it clear that he didn\'t live a fantasy life of a superhero and that the world was cruel.

It was kill or be killed and ultimately the word of cultivators was a savage place.

Adam had no regrets and was happy with his life and excited for what he was going to experience, see and achieve, but he also wanted to make it clear that reaching his position wasn\'t easy.

Without luck or the Dungeon System, it would be impossible for him to have achieved most of what he had achieved up until that point and even with such things, there was great hardship.

Emma who had never experienced any form of hardship could never understand or comprehend everything Adam had to experience to reach the position he was in, while it was the same for everyone else in the universe.

The feeling of being alone a monster that had no choice but to hunt and fight for his life in a dungeon was frightening and would have crushed any weak-willed individual.

"I am fine now and the past is in the past, but you are better off not cultivating. But if you truly do wish to cultivate, I can test your talent and determination" said Adam before reverting to his relaxed self.

He knew that unless he was serious with Emma and showed her the side of pain and suffering that nobody saw, she would blindly hate Cole and himself without understanding anything that they had to go through.

"Cole and I are very busy and have many responsibilities, but also people that are targeting us and may regard us as enemies. It is like living the life of a fugitive or being placed on an island of savage monsters that are all out to get you. We have told you time and time again that we are keeping our distance and not allowing you to join us for your own safety and well-being, but it seems you are unable to understand" 

"Emma, I..."

Cole didn\'t know what to see and what he felt was clear to him, but he was unsure how to express it in words.

"What he is trying to say is that he still cares for you and it is stupid of you two to feel abandoned. Instead, you are being treasured and protected. Have you not noticed there has always been somebody protecting you from all harm this entire year?" said Adam.

Everything Adam was saying was starting to make sense to them and they were unable to continue feeling angry, and instead felt pity and wanted to give them their emotional support.

\'Maybe that is why Adam is unwilling to give his heart to someone\' thought Sarah to herself.

They continued speaking with each other and began calming down and talking like normal and mature individuals.

Eventually, Adam wanted to make sure that they were all on the same page and although he regarded them as friends, he knew it was unlikely he would be able to visit them much.

"To be honest with you guys, we came here to make it clear that our responsibilities are too important to neglect. We are friends and if you ever need anything, we will be more than happy to get it sorted out, but meeting up regularly and having a normal friendship is something that is impossible for us" stated Adam.

"It is best for you two to keep your distance from us as we will only bring you danger and if you do wish to get back with Cole, which he does want, it will have to be a strong relationship of trust. I am sure that you want to continue your ordinary life, but he also wants to continue his current life. Seeing him all the time is very unlikely, but I can guarantee you that he will be loyal and always come back to you, otherwise, I will dispose of him myself" said Adam to Emma.

Cole felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that if Adam truly meant what he said, if he dared to betray Adam, he would be helpless against him and that was clear to Emma and Sarah who were bemused by Cole\'s reaction.

Emma blushed and it was clear that she still cared for him and although she didn\'t definitively say yes to returning with Cole, it was evident that it was her intention.

Cole went on to apologising to Emma and speaking to her about everything that had happened to him and while they did, Sarah was bombarding Adam with questions and trying to act as his therapist, but Adam reassured her that he was fine and merely used his experiences to prove a point.

After they spoke seriously and made up with each other, they drank their coffees before relaxing and calming down.

"This is much better, I don\'t like being serious, it is so tiring," said Adam as he leaned back against the sofa.
