Cole had been keeping tabs on Emma and Sarah despite barely contacting them and finding it hard to face them and knew of most of what they were doing, while he had also stationed somebody to monitor and protect them at all times.
Despite being on bad terms with them, he still cared for them deeply, especially Emma who was once his lover and stood with him through thick and thin.
Adam could tell how Cole was thinking and feeling and began by relaxing and joking around with Cole in the back of the taxi.
Cole could have used his Wind Elemental Affinity to get them both to fly over the city and the speeds they would move at in the air would make them seem to merely be a blur, and even if they were seen, most ordinary people wouldn't believe their own eyes.
Along with that, most of the cameras in the city were already under their control and all cameras in the city could easily be hacked and overwritten by the IT Group that Elizabeth had formed with skilled individuals from around the country.
Despite that, Adam and Cole wanted to be normal and just relax for once and after a short while, Adam began asking Cole about what exactly had happened between him and Emma.
Cole and Sarah weren't very close and they were friends, but didn't have a lovers relationship, so Adam mostly asked about Emma and what had happened between them was what he had already guessed was the case.
Emma and Cole had broken up and it was on quite bad terms.
It was all because ever since Cole became the young family head of the Epstein Family, he had no time to even relax and was either managing and leading the family or cultivating.
At that time, he didn't have the chance to rest and wanted to get stronger for himself, for his deceased parents and so that he could be of more help to Adam who was planning to enter a year of seclusion.
It made her feel as though Cole didn't care about her and he would barely see her once a week for a short amount of time before leaving, and although he tried to make up for it with gifts and money, she began to feel like a disposable item.
Once Cole had gotten back on his feet and experienced cultivation, he no longer spent time with her or saw her as someone worthy of him and he believed that materialistic items would make up for that, or so she believed.
Cole was deeply infatuated with her and was in debt to her for helping him get back on his feet and supporting him at his lowest moments, but he couldn't get that across to her and he had so many responsibilities.
The pursuit for power and dangers that came with being a cultivator was something that Cole and Adam didn't want for Emma and Sarah.
It wasn't because they didn't value them or believe they were capable of cultivating, it was merely because they knew that living an ordinary life was much more easy and relaxed.
Ignorance was bliss and Adam had only shown Emma and Sarah that the supernatural existed and informed them of a small amount of it, so he wanted them to forget about it and move on with their lives.
However, they both couldn't help but feel abandoned, undervalued and unappreciated by Cole and Adam who were living completely different lives that they believed were much more amazing.
The fulfilment that came with being a cultivator and having power couldn't be denied, but everything that came with it wasn't worth it unless one had great aims.
Emma and Sarah were better off living better lives in the opinions of Cole and Adam, and since Adam wasn't there for them to argue with, Cole took the brunt of their feelings.
It ended up with Emma telling him never to try to contact her to talk to her again until he valued her and forgot about everything else that he had to deal with, while Sarah had begun living with Emma and was in an awkward position, unable to mediate between them.
"I haven't spoken to either of them in the past 6 months and you understand that I was unable to leave behind all my responsibilities and people relying on me for Emma, even though she had done that to support me," said Cole.
"You did the right thing and I am sure they will be able to understand your perspective. You are living a completely different life to them and if they are unable to adapt to it, then becoming more distant is unavoidable and the best option" reassured him Adam.
It was tough for Cole to split apart with the girl he had been for multiple years and stood by him, but he knew that moving on might be his only option and it was better for the both of them.
Cole needed to focus on the faction and the targets that Adam had set for them, while it would be safer and better for her to live without coming into contact with him.
"Don't look so down, I will try to solve any issues between you guys and I am sure that I will get it from Sarah"
"You have realised that she likes yo....."
Before Cole could finish, Adam interrupted him and said, "I don't have time or space in my heart for a lover. I would only bring her trouble and danger if I got too close, while she would only hold me back and be a burden".
Adam's words were harsh, but true and it was the hard truth that Cole also needed to face when it came to Emma and they needed to be mature about it and talk to each other.
Cole and Adam sat in silence for the rest of the taxi ride, both relaxing and reminiscing on their past experiences that got them to the point they were currently in.
