While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

Using the Step Skip Skill and dashing as fast as he could, Adam was able to cover the distance that was left within a couple of minutes and all of those that he had called to the meeting, apart from Elizabeth, were able to sense his arrival.

"You two must leave here immediately. Once I am ready to leave I will call you back with the communication device and I am safe with the city's Flame Master" instructed Cole to the two elders, thinking that Adam wouldn't want them to see his face.

"It's alright Cole, they can stay within your vicinity as long as they can't hear us," said Adam who appeared beside them.

The two elders tried to act surprised, but it was clear to both Adam and Cole that they already knew who Adam was just like most other powerful and influential figures within the city.

"I guess it is impossible to cause such large commotions while hiding one's identity," said Cole to himself as he hugged Adam who was clearly in pain.

Not many could understand what Adam was feeling and his red eyes only showed rage, killing intent and other negative emotions, which was due to the Bloodlust Characteristic, but Cole understood him.

"Young master we will leave you with this other young master and will be within the area to protect you in case of an attack" stated the two elders respectfully before turning to leave.

"Please do not call me young master and make sure to look after Cole while I am gone" requested Adam to the elders respectfully.

They seemed like two nice people that appreciated and respected Adam for what he had done for Cole and in turn their family, which Adam also appreciated.

"We will" they both said before disappearing and appearing on opposite sides of the park.

Their speed was incredible and Cole and Adam were barely able to see them move, while Wayde was slightly impressed but knew that he could still probably take them both down if he used his full power.

"Adam, what do you mean, while you are gone? What happened?" asked Cole.

"I will tell you all, but there are two others that I have called to meet us," said Adam while signalling for Chase and Elizabeth who had spotted him to come over.

All of them sat in the centre of the park on the ground and Adam began his meeting.

"Some brief introductions. This is Angela Maxwell, the young family head of the Maxwell Family, this is Cole Summers, the young family head of the Epstein Family, this is Wayde, Angela's guardian and a very powerful cultivator, this is Chase, my friend and subordinate and this is Elizabeth who is also my friend and subordinate" 

The 5 of them all greeted each other briefly and noted who each other were before Adam continued speaking.

"I called you all here because I have some requests that I hope that you can fulfil while I am gone" stated Adam.

"Where are you going?" asked Angela.

"Yeah. How long are you going for and why?" added Cole.

"I won't be far from the city, but I won't be coming back for an entire year and also won't be in contact with you guys. I don't have the time and am not in the right frame of mind to be with you guys now and need to take some time off" answered Adam.

"Why? What is it that happened?" asked Cole who didn't understand why Adam was acting the way he was.

He seemed cold and distant and even when Cole hugged him, Adam couldn't bring himself to hug him back. Waltzing into the precinct, teasing people and dashing around the city was fun for Adam and helped him to vent and deal with the pain he was experiencing, but it was all a front.

Adam needed to take time for himself and focus on cultivating not only his power, but also his mind.

"My aunt... My mother... died" answered Adam.

Adam answered calmly while trying to make it seem as though he had moved on and no longer cared, but it was clear to them all that it hit had him hard.

Cole especially knew how important his aunt was to him and knew that she was the most important person in his life.

"Who? Where? What happened?" asked Cole and Chase who were also furious about her death.

Adam had to lie to them despite knowing that they also cared about her and would be hurt by her death, but he didn't want to get them involved in what was going on.

He was unsure whether the Evil Organisation, which he knew nothing about and were messing with his life and the life of many others, had something to do with it and there were too many risks.

A single roar and the release of the Evil Soul within his aunt was enough to cause such a large commotion so Adam couldn't imagine how powerful she would be if she used her full power, but he was sure that he would be able to become even stronger than that.

"These are all things I do not know and cannot answer. I am sorry and I know that you also care for her, but can you trust me and let her rest in peace" requested Adam to Chase and Cole.

Cole and Chase's fists were tightly clenched as they gritted their teeth.

They were both finding it hard to not seek vengeance and justice for Jannet.

Jannet had treated them both with kindness and as if they were her children, just like she did with Adam, yet she was supposedly dead or killed and they couldn't do anything about it.

They both wanted to ask more questions and find out what happened, but it was clear to them that Adam didn't want to speak about it and they both relaxed and gave him the space he needed.
