‘As soon as Lewis finished speaking, the faces of the people present changed one after another.
It was too overbearing to kill people just because they didn’t agree!
“How dare you?!” With a sudden shout, a bodyguard in black who had been standing quietly behind Edmund stepped forward and s.h.i.+elded him while glaring at Lewis vigilantly.
He was Iron Wolf, the Coles’ top expert who had followed Edmund for years!
Iron Wolf was also a top expert. But he felt a power from Lewis that made him shudder.
This square-faced man is likely much stronger than me! Iron Wolf thought with a wary look.
Lewis glanced at Iron Wolf and said disinterestedly, “You’re too weak. I suggest you get lost! Otherwise, you will only die!”
Lewis said this because he was confident in himself.
He was a secret trump card that the Campbells had hidden for a long time, and his martial arts skills were extremely good.
‘The Campbells had poached him over and had planned to find an opportunity to deal with the Ledgers. But unfortunately, man proposes, G.o.d disposes. Before they could even do anything to the Ledgers, the Ledgers were killed by the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation.
But a powerful expert like Lewis couldn’t go to waste just because of this. Thus, he became an important figure in the conference between the families of the two states today. He was responsible for deterring the families.
Noah had absolute trust in Lewis’s ability. Even the experts of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation wouldn’t be Lewis’s opponent, let alone the people of California.
‘As long as they wanted to, they would be able to get rid of Edmund, Damon, and the bodyguards they had brought from California at any time.
Seeing the situation in front of them, the bodyguards around Damon also stepped forward and protected them together with Iron Wolf.
But Edmund and Damon both looked very displeased.
They originally thought that they were only here to cooperate with each other and unite the strengths of the two states to fight against the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation together.
But they didn’t expect that Noah would suddenly have a change of att.i.tude and want to take control of both California and Oregon for himself. Thus, Edmund and Damon were in an extremely dangerous situation.
Even if Noah didn’t kill the two of them, he could use them as hostages to threaten Lucas and the others in California.
They had been too careless and trusting toward Noah.
But at the thought that Lucas was on his way here and would arrive soon, Edmund and Damon felt a sense of comfort.
‘As long as Lucas was here, there was no way something would happen to them!
This was how confident they were in Lucas!
“Noah Campbell, what we should first do now is unite forces and prepare for war against the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation. Are you trying to start internal strife?” Edmund questioned.
Noah shook his head and laughed. “No, internal strife isn’t the right word. But since we’re talking about joining forces, I think we should first a.s.sess if your abilities are enough for us to join forces. This is understandable, isn’t it?
“If the people around you are all inexperienced greenhorns, this so-called joining of forces is pointless. Once we succeed, I’ll share half of the achievements in Oregon with you. No matter how we look at it, it doesn’t seem fair, does it?
“You two are the two strongest families in California, and the strength of the bodyguards following you should also be at the top in California. How about this? Get two of your bodyguards to work together and see if they can beat Master Lewis. How about it?”
Although he really didn’t take Edmund and Damon seriously, he didn’t want to kill them now either.
It would have to wait until Noah took complete control of both states and obtained the allegiance of all the powerful families.
“Hah, those two are nothing but good-for-nothings.” Lewis cracked his fingers leisurely, completely ignoring Iron Wolf and the Parkers’ expert.
He then hooked his finger at the two of them insultingly.
“How arrogant!”
No one would be able to stand getting insulted and provoked like this!
The Parkers’ expert roared angrily and charged at Lewis, his fists stirring up a gust of wind.
Iron Wolf moved almost the same time as him. He exerted force with his feet and darted at Lewis like an arrow leaving its bow to attack him from the other side.
Iron Wolf new that he was no match for Lewis with his strength alone. But if he and the Parkers’ expert attacked together, there was a chance of victory.
Besides, the Campbells were the ones who proposed a two-on-one. They weren’t bullying an outnumbered party.
Bang!
But before the Parkers’ expert could touch Lewis’s chest, Lewis kicked him hard in his waist.
“Ugh!”
His kick was too fast, and the angle was so tricky that the Parkers’ expert was completely caught off guard. His body flew backward and slammed against the wall. Then he slid down the wall with blood gus.h.i.+ng out of his mouth.
This scene shocked the countless people waiting to see an exciting fight.
This… this was clearly a one-move defeat! There was an absolute disparity in strength!
Meanwhile, Iron Wolf’s pupils constricted. The kick he had just thrown was easily dodged by Lewis.
Moreover, the plan to attack Master Lewis from both sides had failed the moment his teammate was taken out.
Iron Wolf gritted his teeth and dealt with Lewis’s attacks on his own.
But their strengths were obviously not on par. Even though Iron Wolf exerted his full strength, he could barely touch Lewis’s clothes. Instead, Lewis managed to land punches on Iron Wolf from time to time, and every strike made him feel like he was being hit hard by a sledgehammer, causing
unbearable, excruciating pain.
“Hah, is this the strength of a top powerhouse of California? It’s nothing much!” Lewis mocked mercilessly while punching and kicking Iron Wolf like a cat teasing a mouse.
Iron Wolf’s face instantly flushed red, and he became even more menacing.
Unfortunately, the difference in strength was too much after all. Tried as he might, he couldn’t touch Lewis’s clothes.
“Enough!” Lewis seemed tired of fighting and punched Iron Wolf on his chest.
Bang!
Iron Wolf’s body instantly flew backward and crashed onto the floor with a heavy thud.
Everyone was astonished!
Lewis stood with hands behind his back and said with contempt, “The experts of California are nothing much.. How disappointing!”
