Adam meant what he said and was truly planning on teaching Cole a lesson that he really needed to learn, and Cole had surprisingly managed to truly annoy Adam.
After saying what he said, Adam suddenly burst from where he stood opposite to Cole with speed that made him appear to be a mere blur, even to the other faction leaders who had been watching attentively the entire time.
From Cole's words, it seemed as though Adam had killed Emma and Sarah, but they couldn't believe that as they knew how much Adam valued friendship and connections.
They didn't know what to believe, but there was sure about some things.
Adam was their leader, could control them and they had no reason to doubt him or his character, so in this situation, it seemed as though Cole was in the wrong.
Adam slammed his knee into Cole's stomach causing him to vomit a curdle of blood and Adam didn't hold back his strength, breaking three of Cole's ribs in that single strike.
