Damian didn't want it to be known that he had sabotaged Angela or got in her way, as that would tarnish his reputation and might ruin his chance of becoming the next family head. However, he knew that if he wanted something to be done, he needed to do it himself and was willing to risk it to stop Angela from stealing the position that he had worked towards his entire life.

Even if he couldn't stop Angela, Damian could still form the alliance with the Epstein Family before they could and knew that he couldn't directly engage in combat with neither of them as Wayde would be able to easily defeat him, along with the Epstein Family.

Martha didn't say anything and did exactly as Damian instructed her to do, as she prepared herself and Damian with many charms, including disguising charms that would be very useful for them to conceal their identity.

"We need to leave immediately, we have already given them a few hours ahead of us. We know that they armed themselves at the warehouse, then bought a car, so they have probably just about reached Staten Island" gathered Damian.

"Yes, that is probably right. If we take a fast motorcycle, we will be able to skip traffic and catch up" suggested Martha as the two of them rushed in pursuit of Angela.

Neither Angela, Adam or Damian knew how everything was going to turn out in Staten Island and were unsure if they even had a chance of forming an alliance with the Epstein Family as there wasn't much information on them, but they were all only out for their own gain.

If that meant that they needed to get in each other's way, all three of them were prepared to do so, while Wayde and Martha were merely companions to their superior and sought to help them out, while also benefitting their reputation and future in the process.

The two of them were easily able to prepare a motorcycle for themselves within minutes. It was one that was specially made by the Maxwell Family that had runes imprinted on it that protected the frame of the motorcycle and also made it lighter, allowing the motorcycle to move at faster speeds.

Damian and Martha didn't waste any time and drove at fast speeds towards Staten Island, not caring about speed limits or law enforcement that couldn't do anything to them.

While they drove at incredibly high speeds towards Staten Island from the centre of Brooklyn, weaving through the traffic easily with their amazing reflexes and perceptivity, Angela, Adam and Wayde were heading towards the centre of Staten Island.

"Angela can you give me all the information you have on the Epstein Family," asked Adam, seeing that she had a bunch of documents in her hands.

She handed them to him and Adam read through them to have a better idea of how the Epstein Family was, but the information was very vague and basic. It only gave him a bit more information about what they produced and where some of their known bases were situated, but it seemed as though nothing was known about their internal affairs.

It was impossible for a large family, especially at the scale of the Epstein Family to not have any internal problems and the lack of any information or rumours about troubles was very suspicious.

"What do you think?" asked Angela after Adam finished quickly reading through them.

"There is definitely internal conflict in the Epstein Family, but only the higher-ups know about it. The rest of the family is working how it has been forever, but there is something that they are hiding which is probably their weakness and has something to do with their family head. Although this is all speculation, it is probably right" answered Adam who knew that when something looked too good to be true, there were most likely troubles that were being hidden under the carpet.

"I was thinking the same thing, and although our Maxwell Family problems aren't public, all the other large cultivation families have internal conflict, especially between the younger generation that are competing for resources" stated Angela.

Despite them and most others being quite sure and curious about the Epstein Family's internal conflict, no one has dared to investigate or reveal their curiosity, afraid of the consequences of doing so.

The ride was quite a long one, but Angela and Adam both cultivated the entire time, or so it seemed from an outside perspective. However in reality Adam was merely using the Ethereal Recovery Skill to make it seem that he was cultivating while he gathered his thoughts and planned his next actions.

His master had been the only one that had been able to clearly observe what his Ethereal Recovery Skill was, which went to show how profound his master's origin and capability was, but Adam didn't really mind if they did realise what it was.

[For some reason I have a good and bad feeling about what is coming up. My instincts haven't failed me and whenever I feel like there is a good opportunity, I go for it, which is how I am in my current position that is arguably the best position that I could be in. However, I feel like there is something that I am missing] thought Adam to himself.

Everything he knew about the cultivation families in New York was clear and spread out in his mindscape as he gathered his thoughts, but he felt as though a puzzle piece was missing when it came to the Epstein Family.

Adam felt that once he found that puzzle piece that was missing, he would be able to use it to form the alliance between the Epstein Family and the Maxwell Family while solving all his problems in the process.

[I guess all I can do is wait and see what fate has in store for me] thought Adam who couldn't figure out what the missing puzzle piece was, yet was still sure that he would come across it.
