CHAPTER 776 ORIGIN OF THE NAME
It took almost all of Sean's strength to utter these words.
The entire Cohen family was instantly silent, not a sound was heard.
The cold wind swept through, unspeakably bleak.
For some reason, everyone's heart was cold, and they felt the situation was even more precarious than
it had been a moment ago.
The sound of wind came, only to see Leo had struck his foot like lightning a second earlier, as if it were
a war spear, kicking at Sean's arm.
The harsh killing aura, which had moved ahead of its original trajectory, stabbed Sean's cheeks raw.
"No!"
Sean screamed in shock, his eyes filled with panic and he subconsciously closed his eyes.
However, after a long time, the expected pain did not come to his body, and Sean slowly opened his
eyes, but his face changed wildly.
He only saw Leo's foot, which stopped less than a centimetre short of him, and if he moved forward just
a little, he would be kicked to death by Leo.
"Ah ......"
Out of panic, he subconsciously screamed out, moving away from Leo.
All the way to a safe distance, he dared to climb up.
Only when he stood up did he realise, to his horror, that the back of his lapel was drenched in cold
sweat.
Just now, he was just a hair's breadth away from the ghost gate!
Douglas, Abraham and Diego were all looking at Leo in horror.
Ignoring the gazes of these people, Leo spoke indifferently, "These words have saved your life, you
know my origin?"
Meeting Leo's dark and intimidating eyes, Sean's heart suddenly trembled and his body chilled for no
reason.
He understood that the reason why Leo did not kill him was not because of mercy, but because he said
he knew Leo's origin.
Douglas and Abraham have dealt with Leo a few times and know that Leo is now very attached to his
origins.
Although no headlines have surfaced yet, there are already some signs.
That's the identity badge he got at auction.
Together with what Douglas has mentioned in the past about what this badge means behind the
scenes, it is easy to think of the Pompeii imperial family.
But speculation is, after all, speculation, not as real as reality.
At this point everyone was sweating for Sean, if he couldn't tell the identity of Leo then he would die.
Seeing that Sean did not speak, Leo's eyes were much gloomier and he said in a cold voice, "You'd
better think clearly before you answer, and never think of lying."
Anyone who heard the murderous intent embedded in Leo's words looked equally straight at Sean.
In fact, they also wanted to know about Leo's origin.
No one was a fool, how could such a Patriarchal powerhouse, who could kill the Pompeii imperial
family in seconds, have a mediocre background?
Five years ago, he was the adopted son of a small, uncongenial family in Pearl, and now, he has grown
to a powerhouse that even does not regard the Pompeii imperial family..
Leo looked back at Douglas, who immediately understood and shouted, "All those who are not involved
get out!"
The fewer people know about Leo's origin, the better.
Soon, the only people in the compound were Leo, Sean, Douglas and Abraham.
"Now you can say it."
Leo sat back on sofa and looked at Sean and said.
Under Leo's eyes, Sean's heart was in a state of turmoil and he didn't dare to look up into his eyes at
all.
The words just now were just something he shouted out in a hurry, how could he know Leo's real
origin?
"I ...... I ......"
After stammering for half a day, Sean couldn't even say anything.
The patience of Leo, too, was gradually worn out.
"You're not afraid of death, are you?"
A cold aura swept across Leo's eyes and his tone intensified a few points.
At once, Sean felt like he had been pricked by millions of needles, and his body trembled.
Sean was even more alarmed, his eyes dodging.
Leo also saw this, and at once a flash of hostility flashed across his eyes as he said coldly.
"Since you can't say it, you can go to hell."
Leo slowly threw over a short sharp knife directly to him, "Use this knife to cut yourself, I don't want to
do it."
Although Sean was the first male descendant of the Pompeii imperial family he had ever met, he was
still like a mole in Leo's eyes.
At once, Sean's body trembled lightly, frightened, and he hastily denied it, "No! No, I'm not lying."
"So tell me, then, what's my origin?"
The cold light on Leo's face intensified.
Sean mumbled, but nothing could come out.
His mind raced, thinking about what to do.
Suddenly, a lightning bolt flashed through his mind, and a rumour that had been circulating among the
imperial family came to his mind.
It happened more than twenty years ago.
Soon, a bold guess came to his mind.
This conjecture, even for him, seemed absurd.
But sometimes, the more absurd it is, the closer it is to reality.
Sean's heartbeat suddenly quickened and he swallowed furiously, his face froze for a moment and his
emotions suddenly became excited.
"I know! I know what you are!"
With his eyes fixed on Leo with a deadly stare, he took a deep breath and said, "Before that, I have to
ask you a few questions."
On hearing this, Leo's brow furrowed tightly.
It was he who was asking Sean, not Sean who was asking him.
But, after a long hesitation, he nodded, "Go ahead."
"First, how old are you?"
Sean stared at Leo and asked.
Leo's frown deepened, but he replied, "Twenty-eight."
"......"
Hearing this figure, Sean's eyes went black and he almost fainted.
Forcing himself to calm down, he added, "Since you were picked up by the Henderson family, you
should rightly follow the surname Henderson, but why it is Cohen?"
Sean looked sharply at Leo and pursued the question, "And why you are called Leo Cohen'?"
Both questions were asked in a somewhat inexplicable way.
Leo was silent for a long time and said, "That is because someone has branded these two words on
my body." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
When he finished, he ripped open his lapels, revealing a chest full of holes.
Although full of bullet wounds and scars, two bloody branded words are still vaguely visible.
Even after twenty years have passed, it has never faded.
At once, Sean's eyes were awe-inspiring, and his face was surprisingly not half afraid.
"Sure enough ......"
Sean sighed.
After a long silence, he looked at Leo with somewhat complicated eyes and said, "According to the
seniority, I have to call you as cousin."
