Chapter 71 - Cara Williams Is Here

However, if the other party realized that he wanted to use her injuries to stall for time, Cole was 80% confident of winning.

The reason was…

If Simone Owens could heal her injuries, why couldn’t Cole rely on his experience of cultivation and quickly achieve a breakthrough to the final grade of the Connate realm?

However, Cole knew he could not say such things.

Hugh and the others would not believe it either.

“Very difficult.”

Hugh frowned. “Even if her injuries are serious, it’s difficult for you to be a match for her.”

He had originally hoped that Cara would be able to dissuade Cole the previous night, but as the butler, it was not appropriate for Hugh to interrupt their conversation.

Since he was in a hurry today, he did not have time to persuade Cole.

He was still worried that Cole might not be able to escape from Simone Owens.

“Uncle.”

Cole thought for a moment and suddenly said, “Why don’t you punch me, and I’ll prove it to you.”

The words stunned Hugh. “How can that be?”

He subconsciously glanced at Cara.

Cara did not react.

“Don’t worry!”

Cole smiled and said, “If I can’t even take one punch from you, even if the Hayes family agrees to a life and death battle with Simone Owens, I will disagree.”

Hugh’s eyes lit up when he heard this.

This was indeed a way to dissuade Cole.

It would be best if he could change Cole’s mind.

Seeing that Cara did not object, Hugh got into his stance. “I’m here.”

“Okay.”

Cole nodded.

Hugh did not plan to give Cole a chance to adjust his aura.

This time, it was not a spar, but a dissuasion.

He even wanted Cole to fully experience the horror of the advanced martial artists.

Bang!

As soon as Cole finished speaking, Hugh instantly stood up. A terrifying aura surged into the sky.

Then, he punched Cole in the face.

This was Hugh’s full strength.

His main goal was to let Cole realize the difference between an amateur and a Connate realm martial artist.

Cara even suspected that Hugh was going to take the opportunity to kill Cole. Hugh instantly appeared in front of Cole.

This speed was even faster than when he attacked Simone the previous day.

No one could react in time.

But Cole could.

That year, when he had gone from a first-grade to a second-grade martial artist, he had been practicing how to dodge fists that were faster than Hugh’s.

When Hugh’s fist came, he tilted his head slightly.

The fist brushed past Cole’s face by a millimeter.

The next moment…

Cole suddenly moved forward. A cold light flashed in his hand, and the silver chopsticks from the Bamboo Pavilion appeared like a ghost, pointing at Hugh’s throat.

One hit!

Cara’s eyes widened slightly.

This was the first time she had seen a young man who could take advantage of Hugh.

Hugh stopped moving; he could not help feeling shocked. “Why?”

“Uncle, I should be qualified to fight with Simone Owens, right?”

Cole did not answer Hugh’s question.

Although Cole knew that his chopsticks could not break through Hugh’s protective true energy, he also knew that in actual combat, these chopsticks could be exchanged for other hidden weapons.

“Well…”

Hugh frowned. “You’re very agile.”

Cole nodded.

“However, in a battle, you can’t win by dodging, and your speed will gradually slow down. Also, if you want to rely on the moment your opponent stops attacking to activate your hidden weapon… you have to know that Simone Owens’s hidden weapon skills are even better than yours.”

Hugh analyzed the fight.

Simone had been using hidden weapons since she became famous.

If Cole relied on dodging attacks to find an opportunity, it would be very difficult for him to win.

“Don’t worry, Uncle. I have other ways to deal with Simone Owens.”

Cole smiled.

Hugh was skeptical.

Cole did understand that he could not turn around and run in the arena. He could not win if he kept dodging in the narrow space.

However, he had other ways to deal with Simone.

“Besides, have you forgotten? I didn’t defeat Zen Slade with hidden weapons and movement techniques yesterday.”

Cole added.

Hearing this, Hugh was stunned.

That did seem to be the case.

Now that he thought about it, Cole knew martial arts, concealed weapons, and movement techniques…

The young man was almost a genius.

Hugh just did not know what exquisite fist techniques Cole had learned; he might even have a few lost techniques.

The Williams family’s butler fell silent.

He did not object to Cole anymore.

Seeing this, Cole heaved a sigh of relief.

He turned to Cara. “Miss Williams, you don’t object, right?”

“I don’t care about anything else. As long as you leave the arena alive, you can admit defeat. I’ll bear the consequences.”

Cara did not persuade him.

Cole was stunned for a moment, then warmth surged in his eyes. “Okay.”

Squeak!

At this moment, Jayden and Steve returned to the area.

***

At the dining table.

“Can you delay it for four days?”

Steve smiled.

But when he saw Hugh’s expression, he was overjoyed…

He seemed to have hit the nail on the head with his guess. No matter how well Cole and Cara hid their emotions, they could not stop Hugh from hiding his emotions.

Cole was indeed trying to take advantage of the situation.

When Hugh heard Steve’s request, his expression changed.

Cole had to defeat Simone Owens by “taking her life while she was injured.”

If he let the fight get delayed for four days and let the Hayes family plan with Simone Owens for a few days, wouldn’t Cole die?

But at this moment.

Cole smiled. “Sure.”

He gave the final word.

Steve also smiled.

Seeing this, Hugh opened his mouth but could not say anything in the end.

Cara, on the other hand, was expressionless.

Xavier stood up and took in everyone’s reaction. Shaking his head, he said, “Alright, we’ll meet at the underground arena of the Sky Sea Martial Alliance in four days.

“The use of firearms is prohibited in this life-and-death battle. Outsiders are prohibited from interfering. If there are any violations, the offender will be judged as a loser.

“It will be the Hayes family represented by Simone Owens, against the Williams family represented by Cole.

“Both parties, please confirm.”

The rules were simple.

There was no need to explain them.

However, Xavier mainly told them about the bet to prevent them from reneging on it.

Then, someone handed him a piece of paper.

“No mistake.”

Steve said.

Cole nodded. “No mistake.”

Both parties signed on it.

After that, Jayden stood up and grinned. “Kid, I want you dead in four days.”

Steve smiled. “Enjoy it.”

Cole had accepted the agreement. “You have to be happy. I’ve helped you clear the obstacles to inheriting the Hayes Family.”

Steve turned a deaf ear to the words and left Bamboo Pavilion with Jayden.

On the other hand, Xavier stepped forward and looked at Cole. He wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he sighed. “Take care.”

“Thank you, Grandpa.”

Cole replied.

Xavier shook his head.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Cara and Williams, Xavier left Bamboo Pavilion.

“Let’s go, Uncle. You protect Cole. I’ll go back with Auntie,” Cara said.

“Yes, Miss.”

Seeing this, Cole said, “Uncle, there’s no need…”
