"If we tried to forcefully break into the Epstein Family Headquarters and force the family head to have a meeting with us, even with Wayde's power, we would have no chance of even getting close to the family head. Wayde is one of the strongest cultivators in New York, but even with his power, we are still massively outnumbered and we are not prepared for a large-scale battle" stated Angela.

"Not only do they outnumber us, the Epstein Family most likely have powerful cultivators hidden within their family and might have even managed to surpass the Advanced Cultivation Level" said Angela.

Adam was quite sure that nobody had surpassed the Advanced Cultivation Level in New York as the system had told him differently previously, but it was still possible that somebody managed to do so recently or was able to hide from the system's detection.

"They are also the most developed in terms of weaponry, arrays, runes and pills, while they also have adopted modern technology into their equipment. It is known that they are the most private and hidden family that none of the other large cultivation families dare to offend, since they are the biggest producers of most cultivation items. However, they also feared because of their power and they are most likely secretly more powerful than the Lin Family" added Angela.

"Yes I know that everything you said is true, but that doesn't mean we should give up. Nothing is impossible and since the Family Head is young and intelligent, we should be able to negotiate with them. We should spend the first day monitoring their movements and trying to find any way to get a meeting with the family head" decided Adam.

"There are so many unknowns with the Epstein Family, however, one thing is for certain, we must try our best not to engage in direct battle with them. Otherwise not only we will be killed, but your entire family might be destroyed by them before the Lin Family even get the chance to do so" said Adam.

"So we are in agreement, we will scout out the area first and see how everything is before making a move and we won't resort to force unless we have no other options" summarised Angela while she also equipped herself with a pouch that she fumed with charms and Illusion Stones.

"Damian and others that have heard of or plan and disagree with it will probably try to get in or way. It is already a hard enough task without them getting in our way, but failure is not an option for me" said Angela who was determined to do something for the first time in her life.

The family that had raised her and held her lineage was on the verge of destruction and by completing her task, not only would she save it, but she would also massively improve it while guaranteeing her position as the next family head.

Although Adam didn't have anything to lose directly, he wanted to make sure that there was no trouble near those that he cared about and that meant making sure that there wasn't conflict in Brooklyn. If in the process he could gain a powerful ally, Adam was more than willing to help, as long as his identity was kept confidential.

After they had reached Staten Island, Wayde parked the van that they took at the nearest car park on Staten Island, and left the van along with Angela and Adam.

"We are ditching this van and should go the rest of the way on foot or get another vehicle so that we can't be tracked" said Wayde and all of them were in agreement with his decision.

"My appearance is quite distinct and draws in a lot of attention for obvious reasons, so I also need to change my appearance and try my best not to stand out," said Angela before they left the carpark that was empty.

Although what she said had a hint of arrogance and she was gloating her beauty, she was being very reasonable and was saying that she would try and conceal her beauty, which impressed Adam who could see that she was developing. 

"I agree, you should try and conceal your identity until we are with the Epstein Family Head, but I also need to do so" stated Adam who knew that Damian and others would know his identity and recognise him if they saw him with Angela.

"Ugh, I didn't want to have to use these, especially on somebody like you, but I guess I have no choice," said Angela as she brought out the stones from her pouch that seemed to be a charm.

However the charms that she brought out were different to that of the others that she had given Adam. The pattern was similar to that of the Illusion Stones but it was still different.

Adam could guess that it somehow concealed their faces and solved their problem and that it had something to do with Illusions as the rune was similar to that of Illusion Stones, but he wasn't completely sure.

"We can all use one of these, but they only last for 24 hours and I don't have any more as they are very expensive," said Angela as she handed two of the three stones that she had, one to Wayde and the other to Adam.

"This are Disguising Illusion Stones that can alter your appearance how you please, however they are very expensive and hard to produce. The Epstein Family that produce them will probably be able to easily see through the disguise, but for others that might try to get in out way, it might not be as easy" informed him Angela, assuming that Adam didn't know what it was just like he didn't know about most other things to do with cultivation.

"How do they work?" asked Adam curiously, interested by the concept and capability of the Disguising Illusion Stones.
