CHAPTER 834 THE DEVIL

"......"

When Leo finished saying this, Maxwell was so scared.

The first time they met was on the Crystal Palace in S City.

At that moment, two men brushed past each other.

With so many people present, Maxwell was the only one who aroused Leo's interest.

There are not many people who can interest Leo, apart from the unique aura he carries, there is also

the fact that he knows martial arts.

Gentry who know martial arts always have a bit more of an advantage than others.

With background forces cancelling each other out, knowing the martial arts, you basically crush the

other party.

However, the other side is Leo and this is a bit of a bully.

This was a ruthless man who could fight the Great Guildchief of the General Association of Martial Arts!

How could he be a match?

Beans of sweat dripped from Maxwell's forehead as he kept backing away, his face cloudy as he

looked at Leo, "Leo, even if you want to kill me, you have to give me a reason, right?"

"Reason?"

Leo smiled lightly, "Are you still playing dumb with me? But what I'm curious about is, we have no

grievances and no hatred, why do you want to kill me?"

As he said this, Leo looked at him with a smile.

Maxwell clenched his teeth, and at this moment, instead of being afraid, he looked at Leo with a face

full of hatred, "Tell me first, how did you survive that night?"

As Maxwell asked this question, everyone in the room also cast curious glances.

How did Leo survive?

That's probably the question anyone would want to know.

How does a man escape from a -20 degree freezer?

"Well ......"

Leo touched his chin and grinned, "If I said that I was deliberately caught by you in the patrol room, just

to use my own death to break the stalemate, would you believe this reason?"

"......"

Hearing these words, Maxwell's cheeks instantly twitched viciously.

He was clearly stunned.

It sounds absurd, but when he thinks about it, it makes perfect sense.

That night, Maxwell himself was wondering.

It is intriguing to note that he laid a trap that was never intended to kill Leo, but Leo died instead.

Now it was again quite logical to hear him break the deadlock with his own life.

Looking at the smile on Leo's face, Maxwell suddenly had a chill at the bottom of his heart for no

reason.

What Leo said is mostly true.

"I've answered your question, now it's your turn to answer mine."

Leo asked with a smile, but his eyes went cold little by little, "Why do you want to kill me?"

"......"

Maxwell fell into silence.

"Why do you want to kill me?"

Leo repeated it, his tone froze quite a bit.

Maxwell clenched his teeth, and after some agonising, he spoke out.

"There are some vendettas in the world that need no reason at all."

He looked at Leo and said, "You have offended someone, you don't need a reason at all. I think

besides me, the one who can best understand the meaning of this statement is my cousin."

Having said that, he slowly turned around and looked at Ariella.

Ariella looked silent, but eventually nodded.

"Yes, there are many vendettas in the world that don't need a reason."

She looked at Leo with complicated eyes, "Just like that engagement I had with you five years ago, I

had only one purpose, and that was to get as favorable a position for myself as possible, so you

became the sacrificial lamb."

"......"

After listening to Ariella's words, Leo understood somewhat.

Those who achieve great things do not take care of small things. What is this small thing?

It's the life of some inconsequential people.

Five years ago, Leo was just a lowly adopted son of the Henderson family, and Ariella was a snake

woman that everyone in the Lawson family wanted to get rid of. Initially, it was intended that Ariella be

married off, but Ariella changed her mind temporarily and wanted the man to join the family or else she

would not marry.

The Lawson family had no choice, which led to Leo joining the Lawson family.

In this case, Leo was the one who was sacrificed.

It's so obvious in a place like Pearl, and it's even more common in the more fiercely fought S City.

"I have no grudge against Ariella either, but as soon as we met, we were enemies."

At this moment, Cindy spoke, looking frank, "Because she and I are competing for the position of the

next family head, and there is only one family head, either she dies or I live, it's as simple as that."

Upon hearing this, Leo gave Maxwell a look, "So, you want to kill me also because you are afraid of

Ariella?"

"Yes."

Maxwell nodded: "If she can rise in Pearl by herself, she is destined to be no ordinary person. And with Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

your help, I will be in danger, so between you and her, one must die."

"So you chose me?"

Leo asked.

Maxwell did not speak: "There is no way for me to go against it."

Then, Leo sighed softly.

There is much less killing intent in his eyes.

For he suddenly realised that killing is inexhaustible in this world.

Until men are extinct, desire will not cease, and the killing will never cease.

Killing Maxwell is not so much about hate.

"You should have thought when you did these things that one day there would be reprisals."

Leo looked at Maxwell with a calm face and said.

"Of course I've thought about it."

Maxwell said with a frank expression as he looked at Leo.

The two men spoke out what was in their hearts.

"Even an hour ago, I wondered if I would retaliate, but I didn't expect it would be you."

He sighed ruefully, "I always thought the dead were the safest, but now it seems that the dead aren't

safe either. You've taught me another lesson, next time I'll watch his body being shredded into pieces

before I turn away, so that I'll be at ease."

Leo shook his head, "Too bad you won't have a next time."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Leo slowly stretched out his hand and grabbed towards Maxwell.

He was slow and slow, but in the eyes of Maxwell, it fell as fast as lightning.

He stood up in sweat as all the internal energy in his hands exploded.

Faced with a casual swing from Leo, he had to use all his strength to fend off a gap that was visible to

the eyes and could not be smoothed over with effort.

Maxwell eventually dodged Leo's palm, but he himself stomped back several steps, his face instantly

turned resentful.

"Leo, you dare to kill me, you will not be spared!"

Leo was indifferent: "Do you think that the current Spencer family can stop me?"

Maxwell's expression remained unchanged as he suddenly looked at the Great Guildchief of the

General Association of Martial Arts and shouted, "What are you all still standing around for? Ten Great

Guildchiefs go for it together, I don't believe that he alone can be a match for ten guildchiefs!"
