Chapter 53 - Threat

“Is… is he crazy?!”

Charles roared.

He had not expected Cole to break the situation like this.

Chris’s and Simone’s expressions turned as ugly as if they had eaten shit.

From the moment Cole had died, there was nothing left.

Now, they could foresee how crazy Cara’s revenge would be.

“W-What should we do?”

Jane’s face turned pale, and even her thighs started to tremble.

The reason for this reaction was that when Cole had used his life to resolve the crisis tonight, the Williams family’s reinforcements had happened to arrive at the scene.

At this moment, the door was filled with dark figures. All of them were fierce and exuded a shocking aura.

“What should we do?” Charles gritted his teeth. “Run!”

“You want to escape?”

After Hugh rushed to Cole’s side and confirmed the situation, his deep and cold voice rang from the side. “Let’s see where you can escape to.”

From all directions!

Even the side door of the factory was blown open. The factory was surrounded by their people.

Chris’s face turned pale.

How… how is that possible?!

The next second…

Everyone instantly charged forward.

At this moment, the entire abandoned factory was filled with deafening shouts.

Cole’s decisive suicide had shocked everyone who witnessed it.

Especially the first wave of reinforcements from the Williams family.

They had originally thought that Cole was just a good-for-nothing who lived off a woman, but they realized that they were wrong.

Big mistake!

How could someone who dared to use his life to solve his predicament be useless?

At this moment, Cole had won their approval.

Of course, only twenty or so people had acknowledged him.

Under the night sky…

The battle ended half an hour later.

Those who deserved it were either killed, injured, or caught.

With Cara’s powerful ability to mobilize people, this batch of reinforcements was extremely powerful.

Simone, who had already been injured by Hugh, no longer had the ability to change the situation when faced with the disparity between the enemy and herself.

She could only escape and plan again.

As for Chris, Charles, Zen, and Jane, Hugh had captured them. The reason he had still not killed them was that he was waiting for Cara’s orders.

***

“Uncle Hugh, everyone has been brought to the car.”

A masked person walked to Hugh.

“Okay.”

Hugh nodded. He expressionlessly stared at Cole on the stretcher.

When he had rushed to Cole’s side, all signs of life had disappeared.

The accompanying doctor had also confirmed that Cole had been declared dead.

“Why?”

Hugh closed his eyes a little and squeezed out a few words.

He hated himself for not making a move sooner.

Perhaps, Cole would not have to be taken away.

Just then…

His phone rang.

“Miss…” Hugh picked it up.

Cara had regained her composure. “Where’s Cole?”

Hugh was silent for a while. “He has been declared dead—”

“Take him to the hospital, and find the best doctor.”

Cara interrupted him.

Hugh hesitated. “Miss—”

“The hospital,” Cara emphasized.

“Okay!”

Hugh nodded and looked at the others. “Send Cole to the hospital.”

The others hurriedly moved Cole.

“Miss, what should we do with Charles and Chris?” Hugh asked.

He quickly regained his composure.

They still had to maintain the family, so they did not have time to drown in sorrow.

“Wait for Cole to deal with them. We’ll do what Cole says. If he dies, I want them to die with him,” Cara said.

Her tone was calm.

However, everyone could hear the crazy killing intent in it.

“Okay.”

Hugh nodded.

***

In a district at the center of Sky City.

“We caused trouble.”

Jayden muttered.

He knew very well that by kidnapping Cole, they would face the risk of Cara taking revenge. However, on account of the benefits that came with it, they had not objected to the plan.

As long as they got the money, so what if Cara took revenge?

Besides, they were not going to kill Cole.

But it was different now.

Cole was dead.

Not only were the benefits gone, but they also had to face Cara’s anger.

It was all for nothing!

“Trouble?” However, Steve smiled and revealed a meaningful look.

Jayden looked at Steve and sighed. “Fortunately, you’re far-sighted and weren’t in a hurry to appear. Otherwise, we would have been the first to suffer.”

Jayden was glad that Chris was the scapegoat.

If they were also present there, they would have been captured by Cara, like Chris, and they would have to face punishment from the family.

It would be troublesome then.

But it was different now.

They could make Chris take the blame alone without showing up!

When the time comes, they could also say that all these were Chris’s personal actions. It had nothing to do with them, and they weren’t responsible.

Who asked Chris to offend the Williams?

“This is nothing.”

Steve smiled. “There’s nothing wrong with being careful.”

“Sigh! But it’s still a loss.” Jayden sighed.

“No.” Steve shook his head. “We didn’t lose out.”

“Not at all?”

Jayden was stunned.

“That’s right,” Steve said. “At least, we used Chris to kill Cole. We can still answer to Trent.”

Jayden’s eyes lit up. “Yes!”

Then, Jayden revealed a look of deep admiration. “I didn’t expect you to take account of this.”

“It’s just a small matter.” Steve smiled.

“That’s great. Then let’s quickly call Trent to take credit.” Jayden clapped his hands. “We might even be able to get his support, so that when faced with Cara’s anger, we don’t have to pay so much price.”

“Sure!”

After agreeing to that, Steve looked down at the scene of Cole meeting the blade with his body. “Impressive.”

“What’s impressive?” Jayden, who had taken out his phone, was stunned.

“I said Cole is impressive.”

Steve added.

“Him? What’s so great about a piece of trash?” Jayden sneered.

Steve shook his head. “If he hadn’t committed suicide, the Williams would have definitely declined.”

“You’re exaggerating.” Jayden felt that Steve’s words were baffling. “He’s so useless that he can only use suicide to solve the problem. What has this got to do with the Williams’s decline?”

“No.”

Steve shook his head. “If he hadn’t died, not only would Cara Williams have paid the price, but she would have also damaged her position. Tonight, Cara had shown her flaws.

“But with Cole’s death, her flaws are covered up again.

“Not only did Cole’s suicide break tonight’s trap, but it also broke my plan to deal with Cara in the future.”

Steve sighed.

“You’re overthinking. He just happened to be lucky. He must have committed suicide in a fit of anger. What use can a boor who doesn’t know how to endure humiliation be?” Jayden still scoffed.

He was very dissatisfied with Cole.

A bargaining chip did not make good use of his value and took the initiative to commit suicide, which was the reason their plan failed.

Jayden was furious.

“Perhaps!” Steve smiled. “After all, it’s useless to discuss too much. He’s already a dead man.

“If he were given time to grow, with Cara’s support, he could have very well become our greatest threat.”
