Reborn with a Space: Hoarding Food and Raising My Kid

Chapter 355: Chapter 327: An Invitation from the Adler Family?

"She’s wearing a light-colored, long-sleeved dress, knee-length. Yes, that’s her. Which way did she go?"

A group of people asked around until finally, the owner of a stall Flora Bloom had just passed said he’d seen her and pointed them in the right direction. Just as they were closing in on her, Flora Bloom knew how much suspicion it would raise if she were to vanish into thin air right now.

’Looks like I have to choose one of the two options.’

Flora Bloom suddenly walked right up to the men the Adler family had sent. "Let’s go. I’ll go back with you."

The men, approaching from several directions, were momentarily stunned when Flora Bloom suddenly offered herself up. Their faces even showed a hint of suspicion. But since their orders came from above, they could only fall into formation and escort Flora Bloom back to the Adler family estate as if she were an honored guest.

Just as they said, these people hadn’t lied to her. Titan Adler had indeed prepared a banquet at his home, and the table was filled with people.

However, they weren’t members of other families, but rather prominent, influential figures from the Adler family.

’Phew, as long as it’s not a trap,’ she thought. ’Otherwise, this would be really difficult. Even though I know Lex Cross isn’t Titan Adler’s real son, Lex Adler, he’s still the father of the body Lex Cross inhabits.’

When they saw Flora Bloom arrive, they all expressed their welcome, rising to their feet and looking at her with smiles.

At the dining tables of great families, seating arrangements are always particular. Titan Adler sat in the host’s seat. To his left were several elderly men, seated in order. To his right was a beautiful and young woman. Her youth was relative to Titan Adler’s age; she couldn’t compare to Flora Bloom. Still, she looked to be about twenty years younger than Titan Adler.

Flora Bloom then glanced at the person sitting next to the woman. Well now, not only did she recognize him, but his current state and predicament were entirely her doing.

The young man wore a trendy, short-sleeved hoodie. His frail body looked like that of a sickly young master from a rich family, hollowed out by wine and women. Behind him stood two beautiful women, like nannies or maids, who would occasionally lean in to whisper in his ear, explaining the people present, their characteristics, their appearances, and so on.

’So this guy really did make it back safely. And not only that, he’s living quite comfortably.’

But even surrounded by attendants and beautiful women, he still wore a sour expression.

This was none other than Mason Adler, the very same person whose eyes had been taken on Flora Bloom’s orders back in Azuregard City.

When Titan Adler saw Flora Bloom arrive, he walked up to greet her, his face wreathed in smiles.

"Flora Bloom, you’ve finally arrived!"

Seeing their Family Head, Titan Adler, so politely welcoming a heavily pregnant woman, the people at the table wore strange expressions. She was just a pregnant woman. Why was their Family Head treating her with such ceremony and importance?

Titan Adler wasn’t a fool. Over the past few days, he had contacted Milton Adler in Azuregard City and had learned from his younger brother just how formidable Flora Bloom was.

Not only that, but he had also sent people to infiltrate the Todd family and get close to Chelsea Todd, prying a great deal of information about Flora Bloom from her.

She was a Water Ability User, but her ability wasn’t merely ordinary Water Element. It could create illusions, boost allied superpower users, and effectively weaken the abilities of her enemies.

Furthermore, she had three types of mutated animals as pets—sea, land, and air—and controlled them in battle. According to Chelsea Todd, her mutated white tiger was an evolved creature that even possessed a rare superpower: a Thunder Element attack.

His eldest son, Lex Adler, was also of the Thunder Element, an ability with attack power considered to be top-tier among all superpower types. Not only was it powerful, but it could also be used for both single-target and large-scale area-of-effect attacks.

Additionally, Flora Bloom was surrounded by a faction of remarkably capable people. They included Fire, Earth, Metal, Plant, and Spiritual Ability users, and even a Healing System user—something he had never seen before. It was also highly likely that every single one of them had already reached Level 3.

On top of all that, the legendary Sherman Lynch—an invincible War God whose command of troops was said to be god-like—had willingly followed Flora Bloom and become her subordinate.

Sherman Lynch! This was a formidable figure whom he had tried every trick in the book to win over before the apocalypse, all to no avail. And he had followed Flora Bloom so easily? It was clear that Flora Bloom’s true strength was far greater than what they could see on the surface.

His eldest son, Lex Cross, whom he had never favored, had taken his loyal subordinates and a portion of the forces from the other four great families to explore a legendary secret land. To this day, he had not returned, and there had been no word from him.

’His fate is unknown, so I’ll just assume he’s dead.’

Without his eldest son, he still had his younger son, whom he had doted on since childhood.

Titan Adler attentively led Flora Bloom to the table, introducing the important figures of the Adler family to her one by one. Finally, he brought her before a man and a woman.

"Ah, Flora Bloom, this is my wife, Selene Lynch."

Selene Lynch extended her hand toward Flora Bloom in a friendly gesture.

Flora Bloom took her hand. "Oh? So you’re my Lex’s stepmother? You really are beautiful, just as I’d expect."

The implication was clear: stepmother meant homewrecker, and a homewrecker naturally relies on her looks to get ahead.

Selene Lynch hadn’t expected such a remark from Flora Bloom. Her face instantly darkened, but a sharp look from Titan Adler stopped the outburst she was about to unleash.
