While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

Looking at Angela, the family head was shocked as for the first time in his life, he had seen Angela determined and caring about something.

Angela's eyes were burning with determination and for the first time in her life, she felt that she had something that she needed to do and would fight for.

If Adam was willing to go so far as to risk his life to get her to the family head position, she also needed to work hard for it and take it on board, instead of ignoring all her responsibilities like she previously would.

She knew that Adam was mostly doing so for his own gain, but they were friends and Adam had made her realise that the Maxwell family wasn't being run well and that she was a prime example of that.

She was raised completely wrong and had been given everything with a silver spoon. This made her and most others in her family weak and complacent and she felt that it was finally time for a change.

To do that she needed to believe in Adam and herself more and work hard for the first time in her life.

"Father I stand by what my companion has said and in 3 days, if we can form an alliance with the Epstein Family, I would like to become the next family head" declared Angela determinedly.

Angela's words shocked everybody in the conference room, and although she was a candidate for that position, it was widely known that she didn't want it.

Even Wayde, who was always silent and always had a blank expression, looked shocked.

"Very well then. I can accept your proposal. The terms are that you will form an alliance with the Epstein Family in the name of the Maxwell Family within 3 days. This will aid us in taking down the Lin Family while increasing our territory, influence and power" accepted the family head, who saw no reason to decline.

If they were capable of doing what they said, everything would turn out great, but if they couldn't, they didn't have much to lose anyway.

"However in that time, since most of the family seems to be in agreement with Damian, we will prepare our forces. In 3 days time, if you haven't gotten back to us with any good news, we will go along with Damian's plan to slowly eat away at the Lin Family's forces before battling against them directly" stated the family head.

Everyone was surprised by how everything turned out, especially since Angela had bought with her an unknown masked companion that had managed to persuade the family head to accept his proposal.

"Now that we have reached a conclusion. This conference is over" declared the family head as he prepared to leave.

However, before doing so he turned to Adam and Angela and signalled them to follow after him.

Neither of them could refuse and they followed after the family head, along with Wayde who was always beside Angela, as they were led to another room that was on the top floor of the Maxwell Family Headquarters.

It was a large office that seemed to be that of the family head and the family head sat behind his desk, while Angela sat opposite him.

"You can take a seat, your bravery has earned it" permitted the family head.

"I wouldn't feel comfortable sitting opposite you, especially with Wayde standing up. Wayde should take a seat" declined Adam respectfully.

The old family head smiled while Wayde was also pleased that he was being respected and recognised as he sat down beside Angela.

"Family head, we have a 3 day time limit and every minute counts. Is there a reason that you called us here?" asked Angela.

"I was just curious as to who that young man was. How did you meet him? How old is he? What are his intentions?" answered the family head curiously.

"Family head, I can tell you that he is my friend and that he is a similar age to myself. He wants to help me, while also increasing the support and influence that he receives by being my friend. However, everything else about him is his own to disclose and he is wearing that mask because he wants to keep his identity secret" stated Angela respectfully.

Adam was pleased with how Angela articulated herself and kept his identity and other things secret, while her grandfather was shocked by how much she had changed in a single day.

She had lost a lot of her immaturity and usually, when she would speak to him, she would act spoilt and would never talk to him respectfully. However now she was well presented and called him the family head for the first time.

"Well, it seems that he has positively influenced you and has also left a good impression on me and Wayde. He has been honest with you and you are both mutually benefitting in the friendship, so I have no objections to your relationship. However, you are quite weak and have made many enemies, so you must still be careful. Even though you are wearing a mask, it won't be too difficult to find out who you are, even if one has to use force" warned the family head.

"I appreciate your warning, and will be careful" accepted Adam respectfully.

"Then you should get going and try your best to form this alliance with the Epstein family. If you are capable of doing so, you will become our family hero, but if not, there is no issue and there is no reason to beat yourself up over it" reassured him the family head.

Adam thanked him for his reassurance then followed behind Angela with Wayde beside him. He was pleasantly surprised by the family head's respectful and kind character, and his image of the Maxwell Family had changed slightly because of it.

He could hear most of the Maxwell family members that were still in the conference room talking about him and Angela, but they both ignored it as they headed towards one of the lifts that they could take back down to the first floor.

Just as they were about to get in the lift, Damian with incredible speed, that was too fast for Adam to even react to, dashed towards him.
