NOVEL NEXT Chapter 64
Chapter 64: Xavier Cross
“Harry Hayes and Simone Owens won’t agree, but they can’t force Simone Owens to disagree, right?”
Cole smiled.
The strong were proud.
In Simone Owens’s eyes, Cole was no different from an ant.
In front of the provocation of an ant, someone as cautious as Steve Hayes might ignore it.
However, someone as arrogant as Simone Owens would kill him with lightning speed.
And even if that didn’t happen, if Simone Owens did not agree, Cole could use this matter to ruin her reputation. He still had control over Chris Hayes.
It was not a loss.
Cara stared at Cole with her beautiful eyes.
She did not want Cole to take the risk.
She said, “But you have to understand…
“They targeted you because of me. You didn’t start it.”
This was the reason Cara felt guilty.
She was the reason Cole fell in danger tonight.
“Without you, my limbs would have been broken by Jane and the others tonight.”
Cole smiled.
Cara frowned slightly and wanted to stop him.
However, Cole suddenly said, “Besides, are you any different from me?”
Hugh, who wanted to stop him, suddenly had a strange expression.
He stepped back quickly and quietly.
He could not be a third wheel at this time.
Hearing Cole’s words, Cara smiled faintly. “Since when did you dare to joke with me?”
“Uh…”
Cole touched his nose. “Just saying.”
“Is that so?”
Cara looked amused. “Then continue. I want to hear it.”
Cole could not help but shrink his neck. “Miss Williams, I think…”
“Yes?”
Cara did not say anything. She just looked at Cole.
Seeing this, Cole said awkwardly, “Miss Williams, what do you want to hear?”
“Didn’t you say that if there’s a future, you’ll call me by my first name?”
Cara smiled slightly.
Cole recalled what he had said before he died.
Speechless, he tried to say, “Well…”
To be honest, it was not that Cole did not want to call her that; it was more like he could not change his mind.
“Say it.”
Cara said calmly.
Cole gritted his teeth. “Cara…”
“Forget it. It’s like I’m holding a knife to your neck.”
Cara could not help but laugh when she saw Cole sweating profusely.
Cole looked embarrassed.
“I just wanted to tell you.”
Cara suddenly changed the topic. “Even if you’re powerful now, it’s better to walk a safe path. You have a trump card, but so does Simone Owens.”
She knew that Cole must have some other secret.
Cara even thought that Cole’s resurrection tonight was most likely related to his cultivation as a martial artist. Or rather, Cole might have had some unbelievable fantasy experiences.
However, Cara did not care how Cole had come back to life.
She was just afraid that Cole might not be able to live.
After remaining silent for a while, Cole looked up again. “I want revenge.”
“But you don’t need to gamble your life to take revenge.”
“I understand a principle. Some things have to be resolved by my own strength.”
Cole clenched his fists.
“There’s no difference between relying on fists to solve problems and relying on power to solve problems. It’s fine as long as you can solve the problem.
“Is my power not your power?”
Cara said calmly, “I’ll return the words to you now. Are you any different from me?”
Her tone was ordinary but domineering.
She was not so easily convinced by Cole.
Cole smiled. “Yes.”
Cara looked up at him and did not speak.
“It’s because I want to protect you.”
Cole said as he looked at Cara.
Stunned, Clara replied, “I don’t need your protection.”
“You don’t need it, but I want to.”
Cara looked at Cole’s firm gaze and went silent for a while. A smile appeared in her eyes. “Make the arrangements.”
Cole’s lips curled into a smile.
At this moment…
Another call came in.
Cara took out her phone. She was surprised to see the caller ID. “Why is he calling?”
“Who?”
Cole was stunned.
“The head of the Cross family, Xavier Cross.”
Cara answered the call. “Grandpa, why are you calling me?”
Cole really did not expect this.
If Cara calls this man grandfather, isn’t he a generation older than all the current heads of the six families?
Such a person is still at the helm of a big family?
“Cara, I haven’t seen you in a long time.”
Xavier Cross’s voice came from the other end of the phone, deep and full of energy.
He did not sound like an old man at all.
When Cole heard this voice, his heart skipped a beat.
This person is a martial artist.
And he is very strong…
“The Williams Corporation has been very busy recently, so I did not have time to see you. I’m very sorry!”
Cara was surprisingly polite to Xavier.
“It’s fine.”
Xavier laughed heartily and said, “I know that you can’t be the same as before after you have taken over the helm. I won’t force you.
“I called you today to be a peacemaker and mediate.”
“How do you want to mediate?”
Cara’s expression did not change.
She was not surprised.
One would not visit a temple without a reason.
Xavier must have called her because of what happened tonight.
“Cara, Grandpa also knows that this is the fault of the Yeagers and the Hayes families.”
Xavier coughed twice. “But if the aftermath is too big, Grandpa won’t be able to explain it to the higher-ups, so I wanted to ask if we can find a time when everyone is free to sit down and chat.
“Don’t worry, Grandpa will definitely not take sides.”
Xavier was very careful with his words.
Cara had been domineering ever since she took over the helm of the Williams corporation. Even with his status, Xavier did not dare to use his status to suppress her, afraid that he would make her unhappy.
It was mainly because Xavier knew that Cara was definitely the victim tonight.
Cara was silent for a while. “Alright, then I’ll have to trouble you to find a place to chat tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Xavier was overjoyed. “Then I’ll inform you after we arrange a place tomorrow.”
“Sure.”
Cara nodded.
After that, the two of them said goodbye and hung up.
“They want to negotiate. Come with me.” Cara looked at Cole. “It’s time for them to get to know you.”
“Okay.”
Cole nodded. He no longer objected to revealing his identity.
Cara explained, “Grandpa is the head of the Cross family. The Cross family is not conspicuous among the six families of Sky City. No matter how you look at it, they don’t have much of a presence.
“But no one dares to touch the Cross family.”
The revelation stunned Cole. “Why?”
“Because of Grandpa.”
Cara said, “Other than his position in the six families, Grandpa is also the leader of the Sky Sea Martial Alliance.”
“Sky Sea Martial Alliance?”
Cole was surprised.
He had known about the existence of the six families before, but this was the first time he had heard of the Martial Alliance.
