Chapter 66: Bamboo Pavillion
However, Cole did feel that this progress would be too slow.
Cara’s opponent would not give him a year.
Therefore, Cole needed even more terrifying pressure.
A pressure that could lead to a breakthrough.
He had been able to find an opportunity to break through only during the year of his master’s continuous pursuit and beatings.
Otherwise, no matter how talented he was, it was impossible for him to advance to the final grade of the Connate realm in a year.
Since his master was not around to create pressure on him, he needed to take the initiative to find pressure.
In layman’s terms, one could become stronger only by constantly courting death.
After twelve weeks, Cole had begun to exercise his limbs.
His master had not asked him to learn any specific moves, so Cole could only do some training movements that he had learned in the gym.
Cole had especially asked his master about this matter.
Why didn’t he teach him a few moves like the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms…
Regarding this, his master’s answer was that Cole should focus on learning medicine and cultivating true energy as an additional benefit. If he continued to be obsessed with moves, wouldn’t he get distracted? Master would teach him in the future.
Cole was enlightened.
So Master was doing this for my own good.
However, after getting beaten up by his master for a while…
It was not that his master did not want to teach him, but his master did not know how to either!
***
Seven o’clock in the morning!
His neighborhood immediately became noisy again. The ground floor was filled with vendors and office workers.
Cole had gone to bed at only three o’clock last night, yet he was already awake at seven o’clock.
He had just woken up when he received Cara’s message.
“At noon, we will be negotiating at the Sky Sea Bamboo Pavilion. I’ll pick you up later.”
“Okay.”
Cole replied, and his eyes narrowed.
There would be a result today!
***
At 12:05 pm…
Bamboo Pavilion Residence!
“They’re all here.”
Cara, who was standing beside Cole, said as she glanced at her phone.
Cara had worn a suit for the negotiation today. She looked very capable, but even this suit could not hide her graceful curves.
“Are we late?”
Cole was stunned.
“They’re just too early,” Cara replied.
Cole was speechless.
It was indeed Cara’s style.
If they hadn’t arrived there, there was no such thing as being late.
The two of them walked to the second floor of the Bamboo Pavilion Residence.
Behind the two of them, Hugh Williams closely followed them.
“Is she not here yet?”
Just as he walked up to the second floor, Cole heard a middle-aged man’s voice coming from a private room.
The middle-aged man was very dissatisfied.
“Jayden, calm down.” Xavier Cross’s voice rang out.
“Calm down?”
Jayden Hayes said impatiently, “Uncle Xavier, this woman is rude. She’s arrogant and disrespectful just because she’s the head of the Williams.”
“Uncle, stop it. We’re here to negotiate, not to lose our temper.”
Steve Hayes calmly advised his uncle.
Xavier said, “It has been so many years. Not only have you not improved, but you’re also much worse than the younger generation. Look at Steve.”
Jayden snorted.
He said nothing.
Hearing the three of them fall silent, Cara raised her eyebrows slightly. “Looks like the Yeager family really didn’t come.”
Cara did not care about Jayden’s words. In her ears, he had never existed.
However, when she saw that only three people were talking, she understood that no one from the Yeager Family was there.
At this moment, Hugh stepped forward. “Miss, Francis Yeager was furious yesterday. He’s irreconcilable with the Williams.”
It was simple.
Anyone would be furious after seeing their youngest son get hammered into a pulp.
“What about Zen Slade’s wife and daughter?”
Cara asked.
In the surveillance video, Zen had personally killed Charles Yeager.
Although the Yeager family would not believe that Zen took the initiative to kill Charles, Zen was the one who had done it.
Under such circumstances, the Yeager family would definitely vent their anger on Zen’s wife and daughter.
They might even suspect that Zen had used the Yeager family’s secret and Charles Yeager’s life to make a deal with the Williams.
Hugh replied, “Our people set up a trap and blew up all the Yeager family members who came to capture Zen Slade’s wife and daughter.
“As for the people the Yeager family sent to investigate Zen Slade’s whereabouts, their efforts are destined to be in vain.”
Hugh finished reporting.
“Excellent.”
Cara nodded.
Cara turned to Cole and said, “Let’s go in.”
Cole nodded.
He had not spoken but sensed a powerful aura inside the room.
Cole hoped that Simone Owens was inside.
Unfortunately, she was not.
Cara pushed open the door of the private room.
Sunlight shone from the door of the private room, illuminating the colorful glass chandelier and the celadon vases. The paintings on the walls were all works of renowned masters. They were magnificent.
Six to seven bodyguards from the Hayes and the Yeager families stood behind them. Also, a few beautiful women in cheongsams waited at the side. They were clearly waiters from the Bamboo Pavillion.
However, no one was in the mood to admire the elegant decorations of the Bamboo Pavillion.
The reason was Cara! She had stolen everyone’s attention.
Everyone fell silent.
“Everyone is here so early?” Cara said calmly.
Jayden Hayes’s expression turned ugly.
He really wanted to stand up and scold Cara. Jayden also wanted to accuse her of making Xavier Cross wait for so long. He had just lost his temper in front of Xavier for no reason to pave the way for Cara to come over…
However, when he saw Cara, he immediately cowered.
Jayden dared not speak.
And since he did not speak, he missed the opportunity.
“That’s right, Cara. Come and sit down.”
Xavier stood up and said with a smile. Then, he saw Cole standing beside Cara, and his expression froze.
How could Xavier Cross, who had already seen Cole’s photo, not recognize him?
Today’s negotiation was all because of this man.
What’s going on?
Isn’t he dead?!
It was even more shocking for Jayden and Steve.
When they saw Cole, their expressions became even more exaggerated than Xavier’s.
Both of their pupils constricted.
Didn’t he commit suicide?
Why is he still alive and kicking?!
Steve was even more surprised.
With this, the Hayes family had suffered a loss.
A huge loss!
Steve had thought that losing Chris Hayes would indeed be a loss.
However, if he got Cole killed, he would be able to answer to Trent Wilson. He could also use the Williams to get rid of Chris Hayes. It would have been the best of both worlds, and everything would have been under his control.
Now that he saw that Cole was alive, he immediately knew…
His plan had failed!
Steve’s first reaction was that he had been tricked by the Williams.
Cara had set them up.
However, he rejected this idea.
From how Cara reacted the previous day, he could clearly feel her despair and weakness. That state was not a show of good strategy.
In that case…
He had been tricked by Cole.
As Steve thought of this, his eyes flashed.
He finally understood!
