Chapter 70 - Cara Williams Is Here

Simone Owens’s hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone. “Mr. Steve.”

“Elder Simone, I have something to discuss with you.”

Steve said.

“What is it?”

Simone asked.

She had originally thought that the matter last night was a sure thing, but a good-for-nothing had ruined it. The most unexpected thing was something she had not anticipated had gone wrong, making Simone furious.

Moreover, she had been injured by Hugh Williams and even had to escape in a sorry state!

After her cultivation had reached the Connate realm, when had she ever suffered such a loss?

All of this was brought about by Cole.

If Cole had not died, she would have taken his life as the price.

“Cole wants to fight you to the death and use my brother’s life as a bargaining chip.

“If you win, my brother will live and Cole will die.”

Steve’s words were concise.

He did not say what would happen if she lost. In his opinion, Simone would definitely win. However, he had to pay attention to whether she would win.

However, Simone did not think so much.

She got furious.

Simone angrily shouted, “Did this kid really say that? A piece of trash dares to provoke me?”

It was fine if Hugh Williams had humiliated her.

How dare a weakling like Cole Stone take advantage of her?

“Really.”

Steve nodded.

“It’s Cole?” Simone got even angrier.

Steve did not say anything.

However, the next second, Simone suddenly froze. “Wait! Who did you say?”

“Cole.”

Steve frowned.

He wondered if something had gone wrong with Elder Simone’s ears from the previous day’s beating.

“He… he’s not dead?”

Simone was suspicious.

Is Steve hallucinating?

“He’s not dead.”

Steve shook his head.

Only then did he remember that, as far as Elder Simone knew, Cole was still a dead man.

Simone muttered, “Impossible, impossible.”

The blade had pierced through his heart and came out of his back.

Blood had flowed all over the ground.

No matter how she looked at it, it was impossible to revive him.

“Elder Simone…” Steve organized his words. “I’m afraid Cole faked his death.”

“Faked his death?”

Stunned, Simone shook her head. “Impossible! I checked his breathing, pulse, heartbeat, and even the whites of his eyes. He was dead.”

As a Connate-realm martial artist, although Simone had never known about it before, she could infer about it from her experiences.

In her opinion, how could someone like Cole commit suicide so easily? The Williams Corporation was right in front of him. Who would be so stupid?

However, after many checks, she had determined that Cole was indeed dead.

That had been the reason she had escaped.

“Then, Elder Simone, do you know that Cole is a Postnatal-realm martial artist?” Steve did not refute Simone but threw out another fact.

When Simone heard this, her hoarse voice changed. “A Postnatal-realm martial artist? How is that possible?”

“According to my judgment, the strength he revealed today is at least equivalent to a second-grade Postnatal realm martial artist.”

Steve told her.

Steve was also a second-grade martial artist, so he had good eyesight.

However, he had become a second-grade Postnatal-realm martial artist only after cultivating for more than twenty years. Cole was a few years younger than him and was clearly more talented. This was one of the reasons Steve felt that Cole was hiding his strength.

“Second-grade martial artist…”

Simone said, “Have we really been deceived?”

She really had not felt any true energy from Cole the previous day.

However, this further proved that it was very likely Cole had faked his death.

This was because she could not even detect Cole’s true energy, so she naturally could not detect that Cole had faked his death.

“That’s right.”

Steve said cautiously, “I think it’s very likely. So, Elder Simone, do you want to take on this life-or-death battle?”

Simone was no longer as impulsive as before. “Yes, but you have to give me time.”

“What time?”

Steve was stunned.

“I got injured by Hugh Williams yesterday. I need two days to recover to my peak state. I need one more day to fully recover. Give me four days.

“I’m afraid that this kid still has some sinister tricks.”

Simone was cautious and even gave him a full check in advance.

Perhaps, it was so fake that she could not even tell. There was clearly an unfathomable danger.

However, Simone was not afraid to fight because Cole could not be stronger than her…

If he was really powerful, he wouldn’t have had to pretend to be a loser in front of so many people the previous day.

At her answer, Steve’s eyes narrowed.

Could it be that it’s because Simone got injured that Cole is in a hurry to fight to the death?

He wants to take her life while she’s injured?

Steve denied this idea.

Cole was not as simple as he thought.

Steve said, “Alright, Elder Simone, recuperate first. Tell me if you need anything.”

“Okay.”

Simone nodded.

Then, the two of them hung up.

Steve looked at the blue sky and fell into deep thought.

He could not figure out what Cole was thinking.

When the difference in information reached a point where it could not be integrated into reliable evidence, Steve could not make a guess about it.

But…

He believed that no matter what, Cole could not do anything to Simone.

Moreover, Steve had one last plan.

Although this plan was equivalent to failure, that was for the Hayes family…

He could accept it.

That was the case where Cole won and Simone and Chris lost their lives.

In Steve’s opinion, if he could use Simone’s and Chris’s life to find out that Cole was really unfathomable, it would be very beneficial for him to control the Hayes family in the future.

No one wanted to suffer because they underestimated their opponent.

Steve did not want to either.

As he thought of this, the corners of Steve’s mouth curled up slightly.

Cole, you might win.

But I will not lose this match.

At this moment.

After being taught a lesson, Jayden, who had been introspective for a long time, came up and said hesitantly, “Do we say no?”

Seeing his uncle speak, Steve got a little impatient, but he still replied, “Why don’t we agree?”

“Aren’t we at a loss?” Jayden’s eyes widened.

Steve shook his head. “We didn’t lose out.”

Jayden was speechless.

I’ve already let you finish talking. What should I talk about?

Uncle, are you ok?

“Let’s go in.”

Steve ignored him and walked in.

Seeing this, Jayden hurriedly followed his nephew.

***

Ten minutes ago!

When Steve and Jayden had left.

Cole, Cara, and Hugh walked to the other side.

“Mr. Stone, I still think it’s too risky.”

Hugh continued to persuade Cole.

Since the Hayes family had not agreed to it, he could take it back.

Hearing this, Cole shook his head. “As long as Simone Owens is alive, she will always be a thorn in my side.”

“But she’s been a thorn in our side for a long time.”

Cara said calmly.

Cole sighed and said, “Actually, I want to take advantage of the fact that Uncle injured Simone yesterday and will definitely not be able to recover today or tomorrow. If I force them like this, I might be able to take advantage of the situation.”

Cole did not say anything else.

If Simone went into the arena with her injuries, he was 40% confident of winning.
