Chapter 48 - Cole Was Captured

“Is the brat from the Yeagers so arrogant?” Simone sneered. “I’ve already saved your lives. If you’re insistent on being greedy, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Silence!

Another powerful aura surged.

Zen’s and Charles’s expressions became ugly. They had been suffering for the past few moments.

The three parties faced each other.

Charles tried his best to think of a way to get a share.

As for Hugh, he frowned a little.

Something was wrong with this situation.

When Simone had appeared at the scene, he had already sent a message for help. However, whether the help could arrive in time depended on his luck!

Suddenly…

Cole stood up trembling and softly said, “Uncle Hugh, leave first.”

Hugh’s expression changed. “What did you say?”

“I can’t run.”

Cole held his stomach and smiled bitterly.

Zen’s punch had crippled him. If Hugh were to escape with him, the man would be carrying a burden.

At that time, Hugh would probably be injured because of Cole.

Thus, Cole could not escape the fate of being captured.

“No,” said Hugh. “They can’t stop me.”

He really wanted to give Cole some confidence.

Unfortunately, he might be a powerful martial artist, but he was not good at lying.

Cole miserably laughed.

Hugh’s expression had already betrayed everything.

At this point…

Simone had already lost her patience. Her eyes were gloomy. “Hugh Williams, aren’t you going to scram? It’s already the greatest favor that I won’t kill you.”

“You’re just a mere early-stage martial artist. Who gave you the guts to say such things?”

Hugh did not even look up. “You piece of trash. If you want to die, try killing me.”

One against one!

Hugh was invincible in this field.

Simone’s expression turned ugly.

Which expert would not be angry after being humiliated like this?

Seeing this, Chris said, “Uncle Hugh, I have a suggestion…”

“Shut up.”

Hugh Williams interrupted him. “You’re not qualified to talk to me.”

The person he wanted to kill the most was Chris.

Hugh did not know what Chris relied on to lock onto Cole so quickly.

However, from the moment he brought Simone over, Hugh knew that Chris was the mastermind behind this matter.

Chris’s expression was as ugly as if he had eaten shit, but he did not dare to speak due to the pressure.

When Simone saw this, she said, “What a useless thing!”

He did not even dare to speak.

Chris’s expression turned even uglier.

When Charles heard Hugh humiliating the Hayes, his eyes suddenly lit up. He knew how to break the situation.

“Mrs. Owens, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you agree.”

Charles Yeager stood up and regained his calm smile.

“Tell me.”

Simone said.

Chris’s face turned completely pale…

He had said the same thing just now, but Hugh had stopped him.

“As you can see, the Hayes family doesn’t have the ability to fight Hugh alone and take away Cole,” Charles said with a smile.

Simone’s expression darkened. “Continue.”

Hugh had already realized that something was wrong.

“Let’s work together. Uncle Zen and you will hold Hugh back. Chris and I will take Cole away. When the time comes, we will split the cake that we can snatch from Cara Williams equally. What do you think?” Charles said with a smile.

“No way!” Chris was furious.

Simone Owens remained silent, clearly disagreeing.

When Charles Yeager saw this, he looked at Hugh. “Then Uncle Hugh, as long as you show enough sincerity, Uncle Zen and I will leave now. You guys can continue as you like.”

Silence!

Other than Zen Slade and Jane Smith, everyone’s expression turned ugly.

This Charles Yeager is playing a good trick…

Simone Owens gritted her teeth.

Hugh did not look too good either.

Would Charles obediently let him leave with Cole?

What a joke!

The Yeagers could not wait for us to die.

However…

Hugh’s heart skipped a beat.

This might be a good opportunity to stall for time.

“That’s it?”

Hugh smiled. “Then I wonder what you want.”

“This…”

Charles put on airs. “That depends on what your Williams family has.”

Hugh Williams cursed in his heart.

At this moment, Simone angrily shouted, “We’ll take eight, you take two.”

“I think the Yeagers are very interested in the real estate project in the city,” Charles said with a smile.

“Sure.”

Hugh smiled. “Then please make way.”

Simone made her biggest concession. “Seven for us, three for you.”

She gritted her teeth.

Had they made a move earlier, they would not have to pay for all this.

Charles Yeager shook his head. “Give me a guarantee.”

“Guarantee?” Hugh was anxious, but his expression did not change at all. He reached out and took out a jade pendant. “I wonder if my personal jade pendant is enough?”

His jade pendant was a treasure.

Even though Charles had never planned to cooperate with the Williams family from the start, he was moved now.

Simone’s expression changed drastically.

She was tempted to modify the offer even further.

“Fifty-fifty. Let’s join forces!”

Simone Owens gritted her teeth.

She had seen the situation clearly.

Hugh’s expression changed due to this.

D*mn it.

Why aren’t they here yet?!

“Uncle Zen, do it,” Charles roared.

He had long seen through Hugh’s intention to stall.

Bang!

Zen Slade moved earlier than Charles Yeager. He instantly rushed toward Hugh Williams.

Simone Owens, on the other hand, attacked Hugh’s back with a ruthless blow.

She was not Hugh’s match in a head-on battle.

Using Cole to make Hugh afraid was the right choice.

Splat!

As expected, Hugh pushed Cole away and punched Simone.

At this moment…

Zen’s fist arrived.

Bang!

It hit Hugh’s waist.

Surrounded by enemies!

Cole was pushed away, and his face turned pale.

“Let’s go.”

Charles looked at Chris, who was still in a daze, and immediately roared.

He rushed forward as well.

Taking away Cole was the important thing.

Chris hurriedly ran up as well.

Hugh saw this, and his expression changed drastically. He suddenly trembled and punched left and right.

The power was oppressive, and Simone and Zen did not dare to take it head-on. They were forced back.

Hugh immediately ran.

“Stay.”

Although Simone was pushed back, the force did not affect her at all. Instead, she revealed a proud smile.

Whoosh!

Several flying knives flew out of her hand and rushed toward Hugh.

Hugh gritted his teeth and twisted his waist to dodge.

However, Zen was already prepared. He twisted his waist and raised his leg to kick Hugh.

Hugh held his breath and threw a punch.

Bang!

Zen’s face turned pale, and the sound of bones cracking came from his thigh.

He could not even withstand one move.

Yet, Zen smiled in satisfaction.

Chris had knocked out Cole!

Even before he had been crippled, Cole was not a match for these two martial artists.

It was even more impossible now for Cole as Zen had crippled him.

The next second…

Chris and Charles ran out of the alley with Cole.

Hugh’s expression changed drastically. “Stop.”

He wanted to rush forward.

However, Simone blocked his path and threw a few more flying knives at his chest.

If Hugh ignored these, he would definitely be injured.

Hugh gritted his teeth and dodged. He roared, “Get lost!”

Internal strength eruption!

Simone’s expression changed dramatically, but she insisted on not retreating and attacked with her palms.

She could not retreat.

If she did, today would be in vain.

Bang!

A shockwave erupted.

Simone was sent flying seven to eight meters away.

Pfft!

She spat out a mouthful of blood.
