Chapter 78 - Cara Williams Is Here

After a moment of silence, Simone nodded. “I’m indeed a little wary of Cole.”

Her face flashed with seriousness.

“Even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit.” Steve walked back from the window and sat in front of Simone. “Moreover, we even suffered from Cole’s fake death. This is not something a rabbit can do.”

“Okay.”

Simone said, “In that case, I’ll take it that he could have killed Zen Slade.

“Then, if his attack can break through the defense of a fourth-grade martial artist, his attack power is probably terrifying.”

Simone calculated, “But he’s a second-grade martial artist. It’s impossible for his true energy to withstand such a fierce attack. Then, he must have a heaven-defying cultivation technique. This is also one of the reasons he dares to fight me to the death.”

“Probably.”

Steve nodded.

A fourth-grade martial artist’s defense was broken…

It could be because his opponent’s true energy was so strong that its quantity and quality were far superior to this martial artist. For example, Hugh could rely on the quantity and quality of his true energy to defeat Zen’s defense.

Or he could use heaven-defying cultivation techniques to forcefully rely on instantaneous explosive power to defeat his opponents.

Of course, there was another way to break through the defense of a physical training martial artist.

That was to hit his vitals.

However, it was much more difficult to hit the vital points.

Not only did one have to find one’s opponent’s weakness, but one also had to grasp the opportunity.

Seizing this critical opportunity required extremely experienced eyesight!

As for eyesight, it could be learned only from countless battles with experts.

Cole stayed in Sky City all day. Simone did not believe that Cole could fight anyone.

Therefore, she felt that it was more reasonable for Cole to have a heaven-defying cultivation technique.

After roughly guessing a few possibilities, Simone gritted her teeth. “In that case, I’ll ask Mr. Yve for an inner armor with a high defense that can neutralize his instantaneous true energy. This way, I can avoid a fatal blow.

“One weakness of heaven-defying techniques is that they consume too much energy. As long as I block Cole’s attack, I won’t lose.”

Simone felt a little pained.

An inner armor with high defense would cost a lot.

Steve seemed to see her pain and smiled. “Don’t worry, Elder Simone. Leave the matter of asking Mr. Yve for inner armor to me.”

“Really?” Simone was stunned. “He won’t charge you less just because he’s on good terms with you.”

“To me, your life is far more important than an inner armor.”

Steve said sincerely.

Hearing this, Simone was touched. “Thank you, Mr. Hayes!”

She was sincere.

She could tell that Steve was not disrespectful to her at all. On the contrary, he had even thought about her many times.

He had helped her with money and effort and even gathered information so that she would not let her guard down…

When Cole wanted to fight her to the death, Steve did not take the initiative to agree on her behalf. Instead, he agreed to fight only after asking her…

Simone let out a long sigh.

This was the bearing of a leader of the Hayes family in the future.

Unlike Chris Hayes, who was useless.

She believed that under Steve’s leadership, the Hayes family would definitely reach a new high.

Steve smiled and did not say anything.

If he could use this opportunity to kill Cole, it would damage Cara Williams’s reputation and he would win over Simone’s heart. This would be a profitable situation for him.

The money of an inner vest was just an investment.

Then…

Simone stood up and said, “In that case, not only do I have to put in effort in defense, I also have to take out my Guanyin Poison Needle.”

Hidden weapons were Simone’s unique secret technique. She had tricked even Hugh with them.

Cole could not resist the poison.

“It’s impossible for him to survive.”

Simone revealed a sinister expression.

She would recuperate her body and mind and recover to her peak state.

Coupled with the most ruthless hidden weapons and the powerful inner armor…

Cole, I’ll see how many lives you have to play with!

In the afternoon…

Cole did not know that Steve and Simone had studied him several times.

At this moment, he was picking and choosing in the pharmacy on the street.

With the 300,000 dollars from James, he could be more generous and buy all the high-quality herbs he needed.

After buying one round, Cole spent 100,000 dollars and bought a lot of strong herbs and a small portion of poison.

Of course, this poison was not a poison in the form it was sold in the pharmacy. He needed to go back and concoct the plants himself before they could become an extremely poisonous poison.

After spending 100,000 dollars, he walked back to his neighborhood in pain.

He could not afford to spend this money.

This made his poor life worse.

***

In his room…

Cole specially bought a large bathtub and placed it on the empty ground.

The basin was filled with hot smoke and a red liquid that emitted a strong medicinal smell.

Cole had bought three days’ worth of medicinal baths. This way, he would be done with the medicinal baths on the fourth day.

“It cost me a hundred thousand dollars. I hope you don’t disappoint me,” Cole muttered as he stripped.

Next, he soaked himself in the fiery red medicinal liquid.

The red liquid was extremely hot, and its medicinal properties were fully stimulated.

Cole sat down, and the water reached his waist.

The hot water did not make him feel hot at all.

However, when the medicinal liquid seeped in, Cole felt as if he was being pricked by needles. His face turned red…

Pain!

It hurt too much!

He gritted his teeth tightly as a bunch of thoughts swirled in his mind. Whenever he opened his mouth to speak, what came out were all vulgarities inappropriate for children.

D*mn it, I’ve been in the bath for a year in the past. Just because of a Medical Oath, I can’t withstand this pain anymore?

I have to start over!

Cole’s mind churned in pain.

It was so painful that he cursed.

His skin began to swell and burst at a speed visible to the naked eye. Immediately after, tiny bloody pores appeared on the skin. The blood threads entered the medicinal liquid and disappeared in an instant…

No one could tell if the red color of the medicinal liquid was there because the herbs had dissolved more fully or because of Cole’s blood.

Cole’s hands gripped his knees tightly.

Other than his head trembling crazily, the rest of his body was stiff from the pain.

“Hehe…

“Hehe…”

The pain he had felt just now was only the first wave.

After he had been submerged in the bath for five minutes, the pain doubled!

“Ah!”

Cole finally could not help but cry out.

When Zen Slade had crippled him, he had not shouted.

When his thigh had been broken, he had not shouted.

He had not shouted when the blade had passed through his heart and took his life.

But now, he could not take it anymore!

The medicinal liquid was like a small needle that was being pushed into Cole’s body by the strong force of the water. It was as if someone had forcefully inserted a thin needle into his fingernails…

It went in and out…

Then the cycle repeated.

No one could withstand it.

But he had to!

Because he wanted to win!

Cole’s face was red as he gritted his teeth. His eyes were filled with madness.

He could not lose this life-or-death battle.

He wanted to return his pain and humiliation to the Hayes family and the Yeagers.

He had to pay them back double!

It was just a medicinal bath, and it was not his first time experiencing it. He was like a paper tiger who had no reason to be afraid.

He had already died once…

What was there to be afraid of?!
