Chapter 77: Early Morning
Cole had left behind the evidence only as a precaution.
He did not want to be attacked by the Hayes and the Yeager families later.
Therefore, it was safest to have a backup plan.
Of course.
If he had let all three of them go, that would have definitely been the safest method.
But he could not do it.
Firstly, if he had spared these people, they would have provided too much beneficial information to the Yeagers.
Even if Melvin was crippled, he could still tell them about the situation.
If Melvin let the Yeagers know that Cole’s strength far exceeded that of a fourth-grade martial artist and he had all kinds of tricks up his sleeve, perhaps the other party would be able to come up with a countermeasure against Cole very soon.
That was not a good thing.
Cole even had some doubts…
This Melvin Young, who had appeared out of nowhere to cause trouble, should be related to Steve.
The Yeager Family had not attended the negotiation at noon, so it was impossible for them to know that he had the strength of a second-grade martial artist.
With the Yeagers family’s intelligence on his strength, if they were only here for revenge, they would at most send an average Postnatal realm martial artist.
How could it be a fourth-grade martial artist?
Using the game “Fight the landlord” as an example, if an advanced martial artist was a king, then a fourth-grade amateur martial artist was a bomb.
Who threw bombs first when playing cards?
Therefore, if Steve had not provided the Yeager family with information, the Yeager family would not have used a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
After thinking about it, Cole roughly came to a conclusion.
This was what Steve had arranged for the Yeagers to test him.
That was why Cole killed Melvin.
Now, Melvin had already gone to hell. It was impossible for him to provide the Yeagers with the most accurate information.
Now, even if Melvin’s corpse returned and they could tell that Cole was strong enough to kill a fourth-grade martial artist, their information about him would still be hazy.
Even if the bodyguard in black went back, he would not be able to say anything.
The night was hazy, and Cole had stabbed this bodyguard. The bodyguard only cared about kneeling on the ground and wailing. How could he see Cole’s methods?
The only thing this bodyguard knew was that Cole was adept at using hidden weapons.
As for the power of his fist and the defense of his body, the bodyguard had no idea.
This might confuse Simone. If the other party defended against his hidden weapons, it would be fun.
However, Cole did not expect it.
Simone was a master of hidden weapons. If she needed to guard against his hidden weapons, she would be living in vain.
Cole had another reason he killed those three men.
That was: he could not take this lying down.
It could be said that he was taking revenge tonight and eliminating the roots.
He did not want to see James Lewis in the future as the man disgusted him.
To avoid getting disgusted in the future, Cole simply ended his life.
After this, the people he needed to deal with were the Yeagers.
“The Yeager family, I’m not done with you.”
Cole walked into the room and closed the door.
New hatred, old hatred, and Cara Williams’s share…
Cole would calculate them one by one.

The next morning.
Sky City, in a villa in the suburbs.
In a room, Simone was sitting cross-legged on a square table. She held her breath and closed her eyes to rest.
Knock! Knock!
There was a knock on the door.
“Elder Simone.”
It was Steve’s voice.
“Mr Hayes, come in.” Simone slowly exhaled.
Crack!
The soft sound of the door being twisted rang out.
Steve walked in with a smile.
“Mr Hayes, why are you here so early?”
Simone asked.
“I want to share some information with Elder Simone.”
“Please speak,” Simone said.
“Yesterday, I asked Fred Yeager to arrange for an expert to test Cole’s cultivation. I told him that Cole was at least a second-grade martial artist. To take revenge for Charles Yeager, Fred Yeager sent out a fourth-grade martial artist, Melvin Young.”
Steve said slowly.
“And? Is Cole dead?”
Simone’s eyes darkened.
She could guess what was going on.
But she could not believe it.
A second-grade martial artist could defeat a fourth-grade martial artist?
It can’t be!
However, if Cole were dead instead, Steve would not have such an expression.
As expected…
“Cole is not dead.” After saying that, Steve pondered for a moment and continued, “Moreover, Melvin Young is dead.”
“What?”
Simone’s expression changed drastically. “Melvin Young is dead?”
“That’s right.”
Simone could not believe it. “Hugh Williams made a move?”
“Nothing.”
Steve shook his head and sighed. “The only witness who survived said that Cole killed Melvin alone.”
Simone’s face was ashen. “No wonder he’s so arrogant. So he has such methods.”
This was not good news.
Although Cole killing a fourth-grade martial artist did not mean that he could kill Simone, it proved that Cole had the ability to hurt her.
A piece of trash who was still at the mercy of others two days ago could fight her head-on today…
This was hard for the proud Simone to accept.
“There’s one more thing.”
Steve said, “The Yeagers’ Zen Slade has already disappeared.”
“I thought the Williams had bribed him, but now it seems very likely that he was killed by Cole.”
Steve finished speaking.
Simone frowned. “Impossible, Mr. Hayes. You know too little about fourth-grade martial artists.”
“Then how did Melvin die?” Steve asked.
Simone said, “Cole might have killed Melvin. It can only be said that he was lucky because Melvin specializes in attacking. If Cole had seized the opportunity, he might have killed Melvin. However, Zen Slade’s defense is very shocking… Zen Slade is not confirmed to be dead yet. Even if he’s really dead, I think it might have been done by Williams.”
Steve shook his head. “Elder Simone, we can’t let our guard down now. Since Cole was able to kill Melvin, it means that there must be something we didn’t expect. If you underestimate him, you might fail.”
Simone fell into deep thought after hearing Steve’s words.
“Moreover, I think the probability of Cole doing it himself is about 80%,” Steve said.
Simone was stunned. “Why?”
Where does he get his judgment from?
“Because of his personality.” Steve walked to the window and looked at the bright morning sun rising from the horizon. He said, “Cole has a sense of vitality and is independent and stubborn.
“From the beginning, after his matter with Cara Williams got announced, he planned to use her power to do something. That’s why he let himself get kidnapped by us.
“Even though you have Chris, you still want to fight us to the death. You want to take revenge and not force us to do anything to you…
“I think that under such circumstances, when he faced Zen Slade, he probably stubbornly decided to fight him personally.”
Steve finished speaking.
Simone frowned. “Those are just your one-sided words. It’s not advisable to forcefully contact him.”
There was no key evidence that Cole could really defeat Zen Slade.
“Maybe.”
Steve smiled and changed the topic. “But do you think my words made you more vigilant?
“If you’re more vigilant, my goal will be achieved.”
