Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO

Chapter 65: Martial Alliance

“The Sky Sea Martial Alliance mainly manages the matters of the large families. The large families control most of the martial arts resources, so it’s extremely easy for something bad to happen. Therefore, to avoid any adverse effects, the Martial Alliance often appears in the middle to mediate between family conflicts.”

Cara smiled. “Of course, it’s normal for people to not hear about this alliance on the news. The Martial Alliance has a very down-to-earth name, the Martial Arts Association, and we usually call it the Martial Alliance.”

“I see.” Cole nodded.

He had heard of the Martial Arts Association.

Cara continued, “As Grandpa Cross is the president of the Martial Arts Association and as long as he is still in this position, the Cross family will not be excluded from the six families.

“Of course, this is also related to Grandpa Cross’s indifference to fame and fortune. The Cross family doesn’t take the initiative to fight for territory with the other families, and the other families don’t target the Cross family either.”

Cole suddenly understood.

“Are you planning to let him stay here?” Cara asked.

Cole glanced at Chris Hayes, who was already showing signs of waking up. “Leave him here. Just get someone to guard him. We’ve been here for so long tonight and haven’t been found. It shouldn’t be a problem.”

He was confident that no one would search this place tonight, let alone secretly observe anything nearby.

This was because that year, Cole had captured the life force of his master, who was hiding in the dark, several times. Although he could not escape his master’s clutches in the end, this was enough to show how sensitive Cole was to life forces.

This was also the reason he had caught Kamila behind Zen.

Even Master and Kamila could not escape Cole’s observation, let alone the others.

“Okay.”

Cara nodded and looked at Cole. “It’s almost one o’clock. Do you want to go home or sleep with me?”

Seeing Cara suddenly change the topic, Cole was stunned.

Why was he so caught off guard?

Then, Cole quickly rejected her. “No, no. I’m going home.”

“We will sleep together sooner or later.”

Cara’s expression was calm, but her words were shocking.

Cole subconsciously sized up Cara’s exquisite figure and retracted his gaze. “I’d better go back.”

“Suit yourself.”

Cara smiled slightly and turned to walk out of the door. “Let’s see what the Hayes family wants to do tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

Cole nodded.

When Cara walked out of the door, she suddenly paused and said without turning her head, “Let’s reconsider the matter of the life-or-death battle.”

Cole smiled. “I can kill her.”

There was no need to say too much.

Cara did not persuade him anymore and walked out.

In his neighborhood…

After Cara left the villa, Hugh drove Cole back to the urban village.

“Thank you, Uncle Hugh.” Cole got out of the car.

“You’re welcome.”

Hugh smiled and handed him a card. “Mr. Stone, this is the highest authority card in the Williams Corporation. If you want to come to the Williams Corporation in the future, just swipe this card.”

It was a gold and black card.

There were no extra words on it, only the word “Two.”

However, those who knew what this black card represented would probably be scared out of their wits on seeing this scene.

Cole took the card and did not refuse. “Okay.”

Now that his identity had been made public to the Hayes and the Yeager families, sooner or later, Cole would let the entire world know that he was Cara’s man.

This card was the beginning.

He returned to his room.

The clock on the wall pointed to two o’clock.

The computer also displayed the information on the recruitment website that he had stopped at when he left in the morning.

Cole looked at the broken gem on the ring and sighed…

Only three hours had passed.

Yet, his life had changed drastically.

Cole held the black card and hesitantly stuffed it behind his phone.

He imagined how funny it would be if he took out this black card from behind his phone when he went to the Williams Corporation.

It was too down-to-earth.

But he had no choice. He was still a pauper and did not have an expensive wallet.

After eating something, Cole did not rest. Instead, he immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and began to recall the cultivation technique his master had taught him.

The martial arts realm was divided into the Postnatal realm and the Connate realm.

Each stage was divided into four grades: first, second, third, and fourth.

As for the higher stages, Cole had yet to hear his master mention them and he had yet to encounter them either.

The first grade of the Postnatal realm was the level of a beginner, and the fourth grade of the Connate realm was the highest of these two realms.

The Postnatal realm involved the process of training the body and accumulating true energy.

The main emphasis was on inner cultivation.

When a martial artist reached the Connate realm, their true energy would be even stronger and would last longer than a Postnatal realm martial artist.

The higher the quality of true energy, the more lethal it was.

Another important thing was that advanced martial artists were holistically trained.

For example, when true energy would be released externally for body protection. If Zen Slade had cultivated his skills to the realm of protective true energy, coupled with his horizontal martial arts, his defense could reach an abnormally crazy level.

Another example was the release of true energy.

The true energy released from the furthest distance could hurt people through the air. However, this consumed a great amount of true energy to hurt people through the air. It would not be released easily unless there was a necessity.

More martial artists used their true energy for close combat moves; for example, through their fingers, fists, and palms. By relying on the strength of their bodies and the support of their true energy, they could increase their lethality by several times, and it would not consume as much energy as attacking people from afar.

Just like when Hugh had easily defeated Zen Slade’s defense and defeated Simone Owens with his true energy.

These methods were the characteristics of advanced martial art experts.

In fact, it would be very challenging for Cole to kill Simone Owens.

According to his judgment, Simone’s strength was probably at the first grade of the Connate realm.

As a second-grade Postnatal realm martial artist, he would be courting death by fighting Simone Owens, who had protective true energy.

If he had not been affected by the Medical Oath, killing Simone Owens would naturally be easy.

But now, he could not.

He needed to increase his cultivation!

However, in a situation where his cultivation was at a huge disadvantage, the reason Cole was still confident was that his former strength had given him strong eyesight and experience.

That was why he dared to fight to the death with Simone.

Apart from his eyesight, there was another reason he wanted to fight Simone to the death…

He needed to find pressure.

A huge pressure!

Apart from accumulating skills over time, it was the easiest for martial artists to break through in a life-or-death situation.

Cole understood that it would take him at least a year to advance to the final grade of the Connate realm.

But to Cole, this speed was too slow.

If other martial artists knew that Cole wanted to take a year to complete the process that others needed decades to complete, they would probably want to beat him to death.
