Cole sympathized with Zen, but this did not mean that he would let the man off.

The reason was simple.

If he let Zen off, who would let him off?

What did he do wrong before?

Why was he crippled by Zen and why was his thigh broken?

From the moment he had woken up, it was impossible for him to be merciful.

If he did not kill the snake, he would bring harm to himself.

When Zen replied, other than taking revenge on the Yeagers, Cole would probably receive resentment too.

“Ah!”

Zen screamed in pain.

He subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to repel Cole’s attack.

However, Cole retreated a few steps. He was not in a hurry to beat up the drowning dog.

He had already evaluated Zen’s exact strength.

As for Hugh, he hurriedly walked out. Since Cole had made a move on Zen, Hugh decided to come out to protect him in case something unexpected happened.

But Hugh was a little surprised.

He never expected Cole to lie to Zen from the beginning.

Cara was also surprised. She let out a silent sigh.

She knew.

Cole had changed.

The reliable and hardworking Cole from before had gradually changed.

Cole did not attack Zen again. Zen hurriedly retreated and angrily looked up at Cole, roaring, “You lied to me!”

He was filled with grief and despair.

Why?

He had already fallen out with the Yeager Family and even killed Charles Yeager. He thought that he had grasped the last hope of survival and could still save his wife and daughter…

However, Cole’s actions had cut off all his hopes.

Unable to save his wife and daughter, he would die here.

“I didn’t lie.”

Cole expressionlessly explained, “I said from the beginning that the winner can walk out of the villa, but I didn’t say I wanted you to survive.”

“You’re shameless.”

Zen roared.

“Say that again?”

Cole’s expression was cold.

No matter how shameless he was, could he compare to Zen?

Chris Hayes had arrested him because he was Cara’s fiancé. The benefits involved were complicated.

But Zen was different.

At that time, he had no idea who Cole was.

Just because of Jane’s encouragement and Charles’s orders, Zen had attacked innocent ordinary people with his fourth-grade martial power.

If not for Hugh’s protection, Cole would have had his limbs broken by Zen and been thrown in front of the Yeagers.

That way, Zen was the most shameless person.

“You…”

Furious, Zen roared, “But you broke your promise.

“What about my daughter?

“What about my Penny?”

Zen trembled.

“If you want to live, it’s very simple. I’ll give you a chance.”

Cole looked at Zen quietly. “If you beat me, I’ll let you go.”

Zen suddenly stopped moving.

Cara frowned. “No.”

She pitied Zen for a moment, but she was willing to let him go because Cole had agreed to it. Otherwise, she would have killed him long ago.

But she could not watch Cole fight with Zen.

Cole was no match for him.

Hugh’s expression changed. “Mr. Stone, you can’t.”

He knew that Cole must have had an unknown fortuitous encounter to be able to revive. This fortuitous encounter might even be related to the second-grade martial artist’s true energy that had appeared inside Cole out of thin air.

He wouldn’t pry, but that didn’t mean he would let Cole go on with this.

How could a second-grade amateur martial artist win against a fourth-grade martial artist?

“It’s okay.”

Cole shook his head. “I know what I’m doing.”

When Hugh heard this, his expression changed slightly. He still wanted to stop him.

However, Cara said, “It’s fine. Let Cole decide.”

Since Cole had said so, she chose to believe him.

At this moment…

Zen looked at Cole. “Are you sure?”

“Positive.”

Cole’s expression did not change. “Life or death.”

This was a life-or-death battle!

Hugh had a solemn expression.

“You’re too arrogant.”

A sinister smile appeared on Zen’s face.

“Come at me.”

Cole looked at Zen silently.

If he wanted revenge, he naturally had to do it himself.

Zen sneered. “How do I know you’re not playing with me? What if Hugh Wiliams and Kamila Lawson interfere in the fight?”

This was Zen provoking Cole to take the initiative to create a situation where Hugh and Kamila could not interfere.

Zen knew that Hugh would definitely not watch him kill Cole. The elusive Kamila would not sit idly by either.

However, Zen did not intend to kill Cole.

He planned to take Cole hostage.

In that case, not only could he escape from here, but he could also use Cole as a bargaining chip to exchange for his wife and daughter with the Yeagers.

“There’s no need to provoke me. I won’t let others interfere in my life-or-death battle.”

Cole’s expression did not change. He looked at Uncle Hugh and said, “Uncle Hugh, please step back. Also, Aunty Lin, who’s behind Zen, please step back. I’m very sorry!”

Zen suddenly turned around.

Kamila walked out silently.

Zen broke out in cold sweat. When did Kamila appear behind me?

Hugh was also surprised. Why is Kamila here?

Following that, the expressions of the three people there, except Cara, changed drastically.

How did Cole manage to see through Kamila?

Kamila took a deep look at Cole and walked behind Cara. “I’m not allowed to interfere in Mr. Cole’s fight.”

Cara’s eyes widened slightly before she regained her composure. “It’s fine. He knows his limits. You guys can retreat.”

“Yes.”

Hugh and Kamila retreated.

They were still worried about Cole’s potential death.

However, the moment Cole had exposed Kamila’s location, they had received a boost in confidence.

“Is that enough for now?”

Cole looked at the still-shocked Zen and said calmly.

Zen’s expression was ugly.

He hadn’t noticed Kamila, but Cole had…

At this moment, before the battle, his aura had already fallen.

Still, he gritted his teeth. “I know that you have a second-grade martial artist’s true energy now. At this age, you can already be said to be a genius.

“But so what?

“I’m a fourth-grade martial artist. It’s easy for me to defeat you!”

Zen shouted.

Then, a powerful aura surged in his body.

He was emboldening himself and trying to shake Cole.

However, Cole was unmoved. Cole’s eyes remained still as he said calmly,

“I’ll give you a chance.”

Hugh, who was observing the situation from nearby, was surprised.

Why do I think of Miss after hearing Mr. Cole’s words?

Cara’s lips curled up slightly.

“Arrogant!!”

Zen roared.

He was a fourth-grade martial artist.

How could he endure such humiliation?!

After saying that, Zen immediately stomped his left leg and punched Cole’s face.

The airflow was violent.

But Cole did not budge.

He had no intention of giving in.

Bang!

Cole’s face took the hit.

He was hit!

Zen was delighted, but his expression suddenly changed.

Hard!

It was hard.

It was very hard.

Cole said calmly, “That’s too light.”

Then, he punched Zen in the face…

But the roles had been switched!
