Chapter 252 - Reprocutions
"You can smile and act so casually after what just happened?!" exclaimed Angela.
She was still quite red, but Adam was completely calm as after seeing and being with Ava in his mindscape for so long, Angela's beauty seemed subpar.
She was one of the most beautiful people he had seen in reality, but they all paled in comparison to Ava, who was formed to suit Adam's preferences and desires.
Jannet's roar and release of her aura had shaken the entirety of Brooklyn and caused an enormous commotion that scared all of the cultivators in the area.
The aura alone was that of a monstrous demon and was felt by almost everyone in the city, especially the cultivators, as they scrambled to prepare themselves for a battle against whatever that was.
It was an aura that scared all the family heads and Advanced Cultivators to their core, and Angela and Wayde upon sensing it and hearing the commotion, rushed towards Adam's apartment building.
They were almost completely sure that it had something to do with Adam and were mostly worried about Adam and worried about what was the cause. For someone or something to release such a powerful and evil aura, it was a danger that was a threat to the entire world, let alone a city.
While Jannet's aura was released, everyone in her vicinity lost consciousness or was frozen in fear and overwhelmed by the power of the aura, but after it was gone, all that was left was the destruction.
Millions of dollars of damage were caused by it and most of it was to the Maxwell Family, but at the time Angela and Wayde didn't care about it and still didn't care about it.
Reaching Adam's building, after Jannet had disappeared, Wayde and Angela both jumped into his apartment, which they had made sure to memorise the location of, and landed inside.
All the glass in the area had already been shattered by Jannet's monstrous roar and aura, so the windows of Adam's apartment had already been broken and Wayde and Angela landed in a pile of glass and rubble.
Adam's entire apartment had been broken apart and it was as though somebody had been on a riot, and in the centre of it all, lay Adam who was unconscious.
Angela ran over to him worriedly and after checking his pulse and seeing that he was alive, calmed down and looked around in his apartment for what might have been the cause of all the destruction and the demonic aura.
There was no trace of any monster or anything that would show that Adam had been in a battle and it seemed as though he was the one that broke up his apartment.
Wayde and Angela were confused about what happened and how Adam was unconscious, but they were worried about him and wanted to get out of there and back to the Maxwell Headquarters before there was another commotion.
After converging at the Maxwell Headquarters the entire family, along with the other cultivators in New York, were all rattled and unsure of what to expect next.
Waiting a while, nothing happened and the only lead and source of information that the Maxwell Family had was Adam who was sleeping in Angela's bed in her room.
She had told her family that she didn't know what had happened and when she checked didn't find anything, as she wanted to keep Adam's identity secret.
Angela, just like most people, was still worried and after reporting back to the family, sat beside Adam and waited for him to awaken.
After a while, Angela became impatient and looked closely at Adam's handsome face, but Adam woke up while she was doing so.
"What happened?" asked Adam as he sat down and tied up his hair that was messed up.
"What do you mean what happened? There was an earthquake, a surge of evil energy, a monstrous roar and the release of a powerful aura that scared even the family head!" exclaimed Angela who was struggling to stay calm.
"Oh, about that. Why are you asking me, I was going to ask you?" said Adam.
"So then what happened to your apartment and how did you lose consciousness?" asked Angela who was sure that he was lying.
Adam shrugged and played stupid as he took off his shirt that was stained with the blood that he had coughed out and put on a shirt that Wayde had handed to him.
"Just tell us and we won't tell the rest of the family if you don't want us to. You have got to start opening up to your friends" urged Angela.
Adam was surprised by her words and didn't expect that Angela would feel so strongly about it, but realised that she was right and it was wrong not to tell them anything, especially since they seemed very worried about him and had rushed in with the intention to save him.
"Alright then, I will tell you what I know. I was in my apartment and there was an evil cultivator. It was a female and she knew me, but I couldn't recognise her. She became angry and released her aura, which caused me to cough out blood and lose consciousness" described Adam.
There was some truth in what he said, but he also missed out that it had anything to do with his aunt, why she was angry and the truth about how he lost consciousness.
"Do you remember her face?" asked Angela, who after becoming the young family head, had gained responsibility for her family and her family's domain.
"I am sorry, but I do not as I couldn't even look at her face with her aura. All I do know is that she could crush us all with merely her aura and even Wayde would struggle to withstand it" answered Adam as he prepared to leave.
"Where are you going so soon?" she asked, thinking that Adam leaving as soon as he woke up was weird and abrupt.
"I have things to do and will call you to talk about something soon" stated Adam before heading towards the door to leave.
