It was evident to Adam that Emma and Sarah had gone willingly with the Blood Moon Group Member willingly.
Adam could see and sense that they weren't being controlled, while there also weren't any signs of force or conflict between them and the evil woman, so he was confident in his observation.
That made it even harder to think about getting them back and if they were cultivated in the Blood Moon Group, just like Jannet, they could become completely different beings.
But unlike Jannet, they went with their own free will and were not being manipulated and controlled by an Evil Soul that was attempting to inhabit their body.
Now that Adam had become a Soul Cultivator he had a better chance of saving and returning his aunt back to how she was, however the same couldn't be said for Emma and Sarah who made the decision for themselves.
At the same time, what had occurred had rattled Cole and it would be hard for Adam to help him regain his focus and composure, but Cole was essential to the faction and also his friend, so Adam needed to help him.
He carried him over to the secret base and as Adam landed in the forest near to the secret base, he sensed that Cole was beginning to regain consciousness and he placed him on the ground.
As soon as he woke up, he jumped up and it took him a moment to remember what had occurred and the last thing he could recall was Adam knocking him unconscious.
"You really have become a monster" yelled Cole, blinded by rage and unable to realise that Adam would never kill Emma and Sarah.
In Cole's mind, Adam was annoyed and frustrated with Emma and Sarah who were merely burdens, which was why he returned to their home suddenly and burnt them all.
Adam suddenly released his killing intent then he headed towards them, so his assumption and belief was understandable.
However that was far from the truth, despite Adam understanding why he could believe what he did.
He knew that only by allowing him to let out his anger and fight him would he be able to get through to him, so what else could they do but fight.
Since Adam had complete control over the Soul Contract, he allowed Cole to fight and attack him, even with the intention to kill, confident that he would be able to handle it.
He didn't want Cole to end up killing himself by going against the Soul Contract and it was important for Adam to bring him back to his senses.
Cole's speed was impressive and even higher than it was during the previous battle for New York as he charged towards Adam and launched wind blades towards him as he did so.
The wind blades were aimed at Adam's throat and it seemed as though his intention truly was to kill, but Adam could tell that he wasn't thinking straight.
However it was quite surprising that Cole's love for Emma was so deep and strong.
[I will take all his attacks head-on and after he can no longer battle, I will teach this bastard a lesson]
Adam placed his arms out and a barrier formed of energy appeared around him protecting him from the wind blades and blocking the fist that Cole had launched towards him.
Cole then began attacking Adam in close combat and it seemed that he had trained his martial arts over the past year as his close combat skills had greatly improved.
His footwork and speed impressed Adam the most and he used a range of kicks, punches and attacks to strike Adam, but all of the force of his attacks would be nullified by Adam's blocks.
The blows would land on Adam's body, but the impact would be removed in one way or another by Adam and Cole's combat prowess still couldn't be compared to that of Adam, who had fought against all sorts of opponents and creatures.
Sensing a disturbance in the area outside the secret base and being alerted by the detection arrays, all the other faction leaders came out of the secret base and were shocked by what they saw.
They had finished moving most of their important belongings and valuables to the secret base and just as they were about to begin exploring and waiting for Cole and Adam, they sensed a large clash of energy.
In the beginning, they assumed that Adam and Cole were merely sparring, but it became evident that Cole was truly trying to kill Adam, while his attacks were more powerful, but also more wild than usual.
They wanted to intervene and their Soul Contract, instincts and heart wanted to protect Adam and take down Cole who clearly seemed to be the aggressor.
All of them trusted and respected Adam, so whatever reason Cole had for attacking him, they had to solve it or get rid of Cole, as Adam was much more important than Cole.
However, they didn't want either of them to die and they had no idea what was occurring.
"Do not intervene. This is a personal matter and misunderstanding that I will sort out myself" ordered Adam to the other faction leaders.
They didn't want to and couldn't go against his orders, so they helplessly observed and prayed for the safety of Cole, having previously witnessed Adam's power, while trying to learn from the battle.
It was clear that Adam was holding back and was on the defensive, but Adam's defensive technique was still greatly impressive to watch and they tried their best to learn his movements.
They were swift and precise and Adam didn't make any necessary movements as Cole continued cursing at him and attacking him.
Cole used all the power he had to attack Adam for an entire hour and the entire time, Adam merely blocked and took on his attacks head-on without responding to any of his words.
He had barely been able to injure Adam who had suffered a few blows and wounds, but was still mostly unharmed, while Cole was panting heavily and had also used most of his Internal Energy.
"I have allowed you to feel better by hitting me and vent your anger, but now it is my turn you stupid asshole" bellowed Adam who had become annoyed by Cole's crazed outburst.
