Chapter 79: Cara Williams Is Here
Cole forcefully controlled his trembling hand and his numb, stiff body. He then sat cross-legged and closed his eyes…
Cole began to circulate his cultivation technique.
He actually entered a cultivation state under such extreme pain!
The ultimate goal of submerging himself in this medicinal bath was to increase his strength.
If he did not cultivate now, he would’ve wasted more than 300,000 dollars!
In fact, no one in the martial arts world would use such strong medicinal herbs.
They were even careful when eating those herbs, let alone taking a medicinal bath made from those herbs.
It was not that they could not think of it, but that they could not do it.
It was easy to spend 300,000 dollars to buy herbs.
However, whether they could successfully soak in the bath or not was a big problem.
Even if Zen Slade were the one to soak in this medicinal bath, not to mention cultivate inside it, it would be impressive if he did not faint!
Cole’s cultivation method was too crazy and unbelievable.
Without his excellent physique and the traces of his previous cultivation, Cole would have fainted.
One part pain, one part gain.
Under such circumstances, the true energy in Cole’s body began to increase at an explosive speed!
Half an hour later…
Cole looked like he was struggling to survive. He lay on the ground, and the water droplets wet the floor.
Although Cole shouted, his will was commendable.
But half an hour later, he had been defeated.
Too much time had passed since he had experienced such a medicinal bath. Besides, the backlash from the Medical Oath had dissipated his true energy. His current body’s strength was probably less than 10%.
If not for the fact that he had the Dragon Energy to recover, Cole might not even have this 10% of his energy.
That was how his cultivation came about.
Death had helped him remove the shackles of the Medical Oath, and the remaining Dragon Energy had helped him recover from his wounds and preserve his life. It even helped him recover some strength.
Under such circumstances, Cole could not absorb all the power of the medicinal bath in one go.
He could only come out to rest for a while and go in to absorb the liquid later.
“Although this effect is about 50% worse than absorbing it at once, there’s nothing I can do.”
Cole muttered as he lay limp in the space beside the basin.
***
At night.
Cole had just finished his second bath. He lay on the ground until half-past seven before he could barely support his body. Then, he cleaned the floor and showered to disperse the smell.
The smell of the medicinal liquid was too strong.
After washing up, Cole smiled and sized himself up in the mirror.
Not bad!
He had muscles and abs.
If Cara were to pull him out now, his appearance would also increase his reputation.
At this thought, Cole patted his head.
What am I thinking?
At this moment….
His doorbell suddenly rang.
Ding dong!
Cole was stunned. “Who is it?”
“It’s me.”
A faint voice!
The voice was a little cold and lazy.
Cara!
Cole’s eyes suddenly widened.
Speak of the devil!
He hurriedly walked out of the bathroom, and his expression changed again. Quickly taking his clothes off the wall, he put them on. “Coming.”
Crack!
The door opened.
Cara.
She still looked gorgeous, and her black dress made her look noble and elegant.
Behind Cara stood Hugh.
Uncle Hugh nodded at Cole and quietly retreated. Clearly, he would not enter the room.
And there was still Kamila’s aura in the dark.
At this moment, steam rose from the bathroom.
“Miss Williams…”
Cole raised his hand and greeted her awkwardly, “Why are you suddenly here?”
The reason for his embarrassment was mainly that he was thinking about Cara bringing him out a second ago.
“You were taking a shower?”
Cara sized up Cole and asked.
“Yeah.”
Cole nodded and turned around. “Please come in.”
Cara walked in. When she passed by him, she said, “Your clothes are wet. Change them. I can see everything.”
Cole looked down.
As expected.
He had forgotten to dry his body, so he was completely wet.
This made things worse for Cole.
At this moment….
Cara added, “You have a good figure.”
Cole was speechless.
After confirming that the others were not coming in, Cole closed the door.
Turning around, he walked into the living room. He said to Cara, “Miss Williams, take a seat first. I’ll go to the bathroom to change.”
Cara was slowly admiring Cole’s room. She did not even turn her head. “Why go to the bathroom? Will you be embarrassed if you change in front of me? I’ve already seen everything.”
Cole was speechless.
He turned his head stubbornly and walked into the bathroom.
Cara could not help but laugh.
After changing his clothes, Cole walked out of the bathroom nervously.
He did not know why Cara was here.
Moreover, this was the first time a woman had entered his rented house.
In the past, when he was with Jane, Jane disliked the environment in this neighborhood and did not come over.
Therefore, Cara was the first woman to enter his apartment.
“The smell of medicine is quite strong. What were you doing just now?”
Cara asked when she saw Cole coming out.
She had worn a pair of black high heels, making her exquisite ankles look even fairer.
Her heels made a crisp sound on the floor.
Cole’s rented apartment was a single-room apartment, but it was not small. It was similar to a hotel apartment.
Therefore, besides the bathroom and the bed, Cole also had a living room.
Since this living room was next to his big bed, as soon as Cara entered the room, she could see everything.
However, Cara looked around slowly as if she was shopping.
“I was taking a medicinal bath just now.”
Cole did not hide anything.
“Medicinal bath?”
“One way to help me increase my strength is to use it…” Cole added briefly, planning to explain the method of the medicinal bath.
However, Cara was not interested in cultivation.
She interrupted Cole. “Do you have money for medicine?”
She was more concerned about Cole himself.
“Yes.”
Cole nodded.
Cara walked to the herbs on the cabinet and touched them. She said calmly, “I’m afraid the aged herbs are expensive.”
Clearly, she knew her stuff.
“I sent James Lewis to hell yesterday and received a sum of money.” Cole smiled.
“They came to you?”
Cara’s tone suddenly turned cold.
“Yes, I wiped all of them out. None of them could escape. The Yeagers even lost a fourth-grade martial artist.” Cole walked to Cara’s side.
At this moment.
Cara suddenly turned around and stared at Cole. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Questioning!
This was an interrogation.
Cole shrunk his neck. “I don’t think there was a need. They were just a few weaklings.”
Cara’s gaze made his heart turn cold.
After being silent for a few seconds, she slowly said, “Okay, but there won’t be a next time. If there’s anything in the future, remember to tell me.”
Seeing this, Cole heaved a sigh of relief. “Okay.”
He knew that Cara was concerned about him.
At this moment…
Cara picked up a piece of paper at the side.
An affair agreement!
After scanning it twice, she saw the content inside.
“An affair agreement?”
Cara smiled. “Don’t you find it disgusting to keep that?”
“Uh, I plan to keep it. It might be useful later.” Cole rubbed his nose.
Jane was dead. And since Cole and Jane were not spouses yet, the other half of 403 Hill Street became her inheritance.
If Jane’s mother Susan used this opportunity to claim Jane’s share of 403 Hill Street, he would have to take this piece of paper to court.
