Two days later, Adam's apartment.
"I'm home ..."
Hearing Adam's voice, Bella immediately approached and greeted him with a worried look on her face.
"Are you okay, Brother Adam?" ask Bella.
It had been two days that Adam did not come home because he went straight to his house outside of City B. The reason was certainly because he had to move and hide the rifle he 'seized' from Obi as well as his subordinates.
Adam also met the farmers who took care of his orchard. In addition to checking if there was a problem or not, he did so to find an alibi just in case the police came to question him.
Looking towards the worried Bella, Adam felt a warmth in his heart. He did not expect that there would be anyone who cared so much about him in this world. The young man smiled gently before replying casually with a smile on his face.
"I'm doing fine. How're you? Look at your blackened eye bags .. You definitely don't sleep well."
Hearing Adam's words, Bella immediately lowered her head in embarrassment. Indeed, due to worry, the girl could not sleep well and always thought about how her partner was.
Adam immediately approached and gently hugged Bella's body. The young man then whispered softly.
"Sorry to worry you, Bell."
Hearing Adam's words, Bella continued to nod like a woodpecker. The girl leaned against him while closing her eyes. It seemed to be enjoying the warmth from his embrace.
"How's Jennifer doing? She must be okay, right?" ask Adam.
"Jennifer's sister doesn't look too good these two days." Bella shook her head lightly.
"En?" Adam was a little confused. "Why? Is something going on?"
"Because of the murder case that occurred two days ago, the police received strong criticism from the public. It was fortunate that the murder victims were illegal immigrants and criminals, so the matter was not extended anymore.
However, the police have become more active in maintaining the city's security over the past two days. It seems to calm the panicked public."
Hearing that, Adam nodded. He then asked with a curious expression.
"What was the murder case in the abandoned building?"
"true." Bella nodded.
Looking towards Bella, Adam shook his head lightly. Jennifer would be angry if she knew the perpetrator who was considered a 'dangerous group' was actually herself.
Adam himself did not tell his two women that he would deal with such a criminal. Apart from not wanting them to worry, there were also other reasons. The young man did not want them to see such a bad side.
"Did you miss me, Bell?" ask Adam.
Hearing Adam's whisper, Bella's face was red as an apple. He nodded as he replied, "I—"
Before his words were finished, Adam and Bella suddenly smelled a charred scent and saw black smoke billowing in the kitchen.
Seeing that, Bella frantically breaks away from Adam's embrace and runs into the kitchen to turn off the stove.
Adam who followed her shook his head when he saw Bella's depressed expression.
"Sorry, it's because of me." Adam admitted his mistake.
"No. You are not at all wrong, Brother Adam. Had I turned off the stove, it would not have been like this.
I'm sorry, this food was in vain because of me."
Hearing Bella's words, Adam approached and gently stroked the girl's head.
"It's okay. We haven't eaten out in a long time, have we? How about we eat out together today?"
Hearing Adam's question, then seeing the handsome young man smiling towards him without an angry expression made Bella feel relieved. She felt grateful for having such a good partner.
The girl nodded lightly while answering.
"Good."
...***...
"With this it is finally finished. You can recover slowly. There will be no adverse side effects to your body."
Adam, who is in Owl mode, said he was relaxed when he killed Darkblood Caterpillar and put it in a special plastic bag.
"Just like that?" clara said with a confused expression.
The girl lying on her bed did not expect that the treatment method Owl showed would be so simple. It actually hit his stomach until he spewed out the disgusting creature.
"Don't take it too lightly, Miss Clara. Even though it looked so simple, the blows done by Senior Owl were not easy to practice just like that.
Other than having to use pure energy, there should be no mistakes at all. Otherwise, instead of curing and removing that loathsome creature, a blow containing another element might injure your internal organs."
Not far from the bed, Lei Fan was sitting in a wheelchair. The young man smiled bitterly as he explained.
Although Lei Fan himself was already well enough, the young man should not overuse his legs before his injuries fully healed. That was the reason why he was sitting in a wheelchair.
Meanwhile, Lei Na who was standing behind Lei Fan nodded continuously, seemingly agreeing with her brother's remark.
Seeing the astonished expressions of the two brothers and sisters, Clara felt ashamed. He looked at Adam and then looked respectfully.
"Pardon my impoliteness, Senior Owl."
"Not a problem." Adam answered briefly.
Adam then looked towards Lei Fan and Lei Na with astonished expressions. Since he did have pure energy, what he did was actually just a random punch.
Aren't you guys overreacting? It's just a random hit .. okay? Where should I set up in detail and such?
This is not pill or talisman making, don't go too far!
After the treatment and cleaning process was completed, the figures of Clara's father and mother were finally allowed to enter the room.
The middle-aged man then looked at Adam. Because of wearing a unique costume, Clara's father was initially quite suspicious of her. But since Lei Fan and Lei Na respected the figure, Clara's father did not dare to mess around.
It seemed like the information about the Cultivators who had some unique hobbies was correct.
I must be careful, it's possible that the beggar on the street is a Cultivator in disguise!
If Adam knew what the middle-aged man was thinking, he would definitely complain that the person was thinking too much.
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Owl. You must be tired ... How about I prepare drinks and food for you?"
"No need."
Adam resolutely refused. The young man knew what Clara's father was thinking. Of course he wouldn't be so careless as to agree to that.
Eat and drink .. That means Adam had to take off his mask. It was quite dangerous because it could reveal his identity.
The young man did not want to mix up his two identities. Adam is Adam, Owl is Owl. That's what he wanted.
"Senior Owl?" call Clara.
"What's wrong?"
"The five amulets you gave are still intact and unused, if you want to take them back—"
"I told you it was a gift from the mission you were on. Five talismans and five nutritional pills.
I won't take back the words I said myself."
Hearing that, Lei Fan and Lei Na looked at each other. Seemed quite surprised because he did not expect that Adam would be so kind. But they also did not know what Adam was thinking.
Regretted? Of course I'm sorry! But ... a real man should not break a promise.
Looks like I have to lower the gifts given starting in the future.
Thinking that, Adam smiled bitterly behind his mask.
