CHAPTER 988 THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN
The moment he struck out, Charles felt his fist was firmly locked, and when he turned his head, he
found that it was Edison who had moved his fist, and Charles asked with a look of puzzlement.
"What's wrong with you? Edison, are you going to help him?"
Looking at this appearance of Charles, Edison only smiled lightly and said.
"If you want to kill someone, do you still need to do it yourself? Don't you move him now, I'm quite
interested in him, if you want to move him then do it on the battlefield and show me your full strength,
otherwise none of you will do it."
"Because when the time comes, I want both of you to be killed by me."
If this phrase had come out of someone else's mouth, it might have been just a joke, but this phrase
coming out of Edison's mouth was a realistic threat.
Although the murderous aura was not as heavy as Leo's, Charles felt a greater pressure because this
Edison was a notorious madman.
"Fine, since so, I agree, except that Leo, I will make you die as miserable as you can."
"Give back your junior's internal energy? Unless you snatch it from me."
Leo couldn't imagine that Charles still wasn't going to return that surge of internal energy.
Because of this internal energy matter, the two sides had been at a standstill for a long, long time, and
that junior wanted to back off on this because he was not strong enough himself.
"Forget it, Leo, that little bit of internal energy I have is nothing anyway, I'll just re-train it."
Hearing such discouraging words from his junior, Leo just sneered and grabbed his collar.
"If you're still one of our Cohen family, then I won't let you lose it."
"Of course you can give it up, but from now on you should not call yourself a member of the Cohen
family, because a waste like you is only worthy of being trampled under the feet of the Ford family."
Leo's words provoked the anger of this junior, and in a moment, this junior's eyes glowed red.
"I'm sorry, I got it. I want you to help me get my internal energy back!"
After hearing this sentence, Leo only smiled and nodded, then looked back at Charles who was ready
to leave.
Leo rushed straight over and punched Charles in the face.
Probably because Leo did not use any of his breath, Charles did not sense Leo's movements.
After turning back, Charles realised that he had been hit by Leo and looked at him with an incredulous
expression.
"I'm not going to say anything about sparring internal energy or anything like that, since you make
yourself out to be so powerful, fine, let's compete to see whose fist is harder."
Listening to this, Leo wanted to spar with Charles with his fists, not with his strength.
As the heir to the Earth Vein, the power is beyond the comprehension of adults, and after hearing these
words, he finally bursts into laughter.
"OK, it's the first time I've seen someone who wants to die so badly, so I'll fight you with my fists!"
This time Edison did not stop it, but looked at the two with a smile.
"How nice would that be, wouldn't it be better to compare punches?"
Edison said coldly.
But in fact, Charles could not wait to instantly kill Leo with his own internal energy, but because Edison
was beside him, he could only spar with his fists.
Before the match had even started, the crowd had all eyes on these two men in a fist fight.
"Ashley, beat him down, this is your best chance of victory."
Knowing that Charles was very powerful, Finlay was not sure if Leo could really hold out, and as such a
good opportunity was rare and precious nowadays, he roared loudly and addressed Leo.
And Leo just turned back to Finlay and whispered.
"Finlay, don't worry, whatever I compete with this kid, I will win, you can wait to hear my words."
After saying that Leo gave a smile.
Unknowingly, all those leaders of the Pompeii imperial family watching the match had focused their copyrighted © content.
attention on this inconspicuous corner.
"Who do you think will win?"
A little old man suddenly opened his mouth, in an extremely comical tone, and asked the sober looking
old man beside him.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Charles is the most powerful late-bloomer according to all of them, other
than that Edison who can possibly fight against him, what else can fight against him?"
"To be honest, if it wasn't for Edison's great strength, I would never have agreed to release him, but it
was his own family he killed, so that's none of our business."
The old man, who looked sober, said with an affirmative face.
But at that moment the little old man shook his head with a playful expression.
"I don't think so, that kid called Ashley might really have two tricks up his sleeve, otherwise he wouldn't
have been able to clean up Charles just now."
"It's as if he has an aura of a king about him, do you think he will lose? I don't think so, anyway, I'd bet
on him to win."
With that, the sober old man laughed happily and took out a few notes from his own pocket.
"Let's have a bet."
That little old man was not a liar, and when he heard that his partner wanted to bet on a game, he
immediately followed suit and took out his banknotes.
"It seems you're quite confident, but this time, you might really lose badly, for Charles is definitely not
simple."
When the little old man saw that the money was in place, he covered his mouth and laughed loudly.
"And what if I told you that Ashley is Leo? Now do you still think he will lose? That's the offspring of a
top master!"
When he heard the word Leo, the other old man's face turned pale, looking very surprised.
"How is it possible? Could he be the descendant of Tiana among the Pompeii imperial family?
Shouldn't he be a sinner now then? How come he still dares to be in the middle of the Pompeii imperial
family?"
"I don't know, anyway, he is back. Let's see what happens. Anyway, don't let him make too many
waves, or we have to do something."
After saying this, the two men did not look a single bit worried, but instead looked like they were
enjoying themselves and ready to watch the big show.
