Chapter 56: Late Night
Cara’s fragile appearance appeared only for a moment, then she was back to normal.
She broke away from Cole’s embrace and turned to pick up a tissue.
Cole felt the emptiness in his chest.
Just then…
A sudden knock on the door startled her.
“Miss, the Yeagers called.”
“A call?”
Cara said, “Bring it in.”
Someone walked into the room.
When that man saw Cole standing, he was immediately dumbfounded.
What is going on?
“Give it to me.” Cara stretched out her hand and emphasized.
She clearly did not want the man to keep looking at Cole.
The man did not dare to look at Cole anymore. He turned around and handed the phone to Cara.
“You may leave.”
Cara instructed.
“Yes.”
The man left the ward. Before he left, his gaze still contained shock.
He had also been at the scene earlier.
Wasn’t Cole’s heart stabbed?
Why is he still alive?
***
“Hello.”
After the man left the ward, Cara picked up the phone and turned on the speaker.
Cole stood at the side and watched Cara make the call.
“Good evening, my niece!”
An old voice came from the other end.
It was clearly the head of the Yeagers family.
“Speak.” Cara had no intention of being polite.
The head of the Yeagers family choked for a moment before smiling. “How about this? Name a price, and I’ll retrieve Charles and Zen Slade.”
He also knew the ins and outs of this matter. He thought that he would have a chance to trick Cara, but he did not expect that Cole would commit suicide.
Now, they were in deep trouble. They did not know how to resolve the subsequent matters. Their youngest son, Charles, was still in Cara’s hands.
He had no choice.
He could only call to test the waters with Cara.
If he could settle the matter with a small price, he did not mind paying.
If Cara asked for too much, he would use this call to buy more time to save Charles.
“What do you think?”
Cara did not answer. Instead, she looked at Cole.
She had already decided on how to deal with this matter.
Hearing Cara suddenly ask this, the head of the Yeagers family was stunned.
Who is she talking to?
Cole smiled and raised a finger. He mouthed, “One person for 1.5 billion dollars.”
If the Yeagers were willing to pay that amount, he did not care whether Charles was dead or alive.
It was simple.
If he could help the Williams family get back a huge sum of benefits now, he would be ecstatic to see that.
Besides, he could come later for revenge.
Of course, Cole understood clearly that the Yeagers couldn’t fork out 3 billion dollars!
“One person, 1.5 billion dollars.”
Cara answered directly.
The head of the Yeagers family was speechless.
He was silent for a moment. “There’s no way to discuss this?”
“We can if your son dies.”
Cara said calmly.
“Must you stand against the Yeagers?”
The Yeagers’ head’s tone was ruthless.
“Francis Yeagers, are you senile?”
Cara sneered.
“How dare you disrespect me?!” Francis was furious.
Cara dared to call his name?
How impudent!
Cara became even more disdainful. “Francis Yeager, when your son kidnapped Cole, why didn’t you think that I would stand against you?”
A grudge between the two families had existed even before. Coupled with the current matter, Cara would not show Francis any respect.
“Cara, let me tell you…”
Francis sneered. “Cole is just an ordinary person. How can he compare to my son? Besides, Cole’s already dead.
“Going against us for a dead person is not worth it for you.
“Our six families should be looking at the immediate benefits. You can’t be so rash.
“Don’t you know this logic?”
Cara smiled coldly. “Alright, thank you for teaching me a lesson.”
“What are you trying to say?”
Francis was stunned, and an ominous feeling arose in his heart.
“Wait for the good news regarding your son.”
Cara hung up the call.
Francis’s expression changed drastically.
***
“Can you move about now?”
Cara looked at him.
“Yes.”
Cole nodded.
He had been silent at the side just now because he did not want to disturb Cara.
“Let’s go then. I’ve already caught those people in a villa in the suburbs.”
Cara stood up. “Francis Yeager is insincere in cooperating with us. He should be investigating where Charles and the rest are locked up. They should be able to find out soon.”
“Okay.”
Cole replied.
The two of them walked out of the ward.
After leaving the ward, Cole sensed the true energy in his body.
Other than saving his life, the dragon’s energy had also helped him recover some strength.
Although he did not have surging Connate realm true energy like before, he was at least a Postnatal realm second-grade practitioner.
When ordinary people started to practice cultivation, they were strengthening their bodies. To do so, they had to open their energy core to cultivate true energy.
After the true energy appeared, they would be considered a first-grade martial artist.
When their true energy accumulated to a certain amount, it would flow through their limbs and bones. Then, they would be a second-grade martial artist.
Once their true energy reached a higher level, they would become a third-grade martial artist.
Finally, when their true energy would be perfectly connected throughout their bodies, they would reach the final stage and become a fourth-grade martial artist.
Although Cole had used only the dragon’s energy to circulate energy through his limbs and bones, it was only a matter of time before he broke through to the final stage of a martial artist. He already had a strong foundation.
After all, true energy could be taken away, but taking away physical fitness was not so easy.
This was also why Cole’s recovery speed was extremely fast whenever he exercised.
***
After Cara and Cole walked out of the ward, Hugh and Kamila, who were standing outside the door, walked to them.
“Let’s go over there.”
Cara said.
“Miss, did Francis Yeager say anything?” Hugh asked.
“He has no sincerity.”
Cara said calmly.
Hugh and Kamila immediately understood.
“Their lives and endings are up to you.” Cara turned to look at Cole.
“Okay.”
He nodded.
Since they could not fight for benefits for the Williams Corporation, there was no need to keep these people alive.
Of course.
Before killing them, Cole had to consider how to take revenge.
They had tortured him and broken his leg. Cole remembered all these debts.
He was not a magnanimous person.
He would return the favor.
And settle the score.
“Let’s go.”
Cara walked out first.
Fortunately, it was already midnight, and no one was outside.
Otherwise, when people would see that Cole, who had just been confirmed dead, was standing up…
It would probably become a famous medical miracle in the country.
“Did the Hayes family react?”
Even after leaving the hospital, Cara continued asking the questions.
Upon hearing this, Hugh shook his head. “There’s no reaction from the other side. They seem to have given up on Chris.”
“It seems like we’re being used as guns.”
Cara immediately sneered.
The battle between the direct descendants of the aristocratic families was just that cruel.
Chris could not make a contribution and had already been given up.
“Did Simone Owens escape?”
At this moment, Cole suddenly remembered.
