Chapter 309
Two boxing champs dead? How's that even possible? They were tough as nails, stronger than some special forces guys.
But they died quietly, which means the killer's gotta be even stronger.
George had a pretty good idea of who did it. In Angel City, only Leon had that kind of power.
George dialed Samantha's number, and the Cole Family members finally relaxed a bit. They backed the Eagle Group, but they were still on edge. The current situation calmed them down, but the Clark Family was freaking out.
They couldn't wrap their heads around the fact that someone in Angel City could take out two boxing champs so easily.
Chester, being a sharp guy, also figured out who the killer was—it had to be the president of the Eagle Group.
George said, "Chester, I warned you before. You know what to do. You really can't afford to mess with Mr. Corleone."
Chester frowned, his face turning serious. So, the president of the Eagle Group was really that strong, which explained why Brooks and the others were so scared.
George continued, "Chester, as a friend, I suggest you kneel at the Eagle Group's door tomorrow. Maybe Mr. Corleone will forgive you."
But Chester slapped him hard and said coldly, "George, know your place. Only Mr. Corleone is worthy of being my opponent. You don't have that qualification. I could take you out without breaking a sweat."
George felt humiliated; he hadn't expected Chester to hit him.
Chester said, "I'm not gonna kill you today, but I want you to tell Mr. Corleone that if he wants to challenge me this way, I'll set up a ring in the stadium. The winner walks away alive. If he doesn't agree, I'll wipe out everyone in the Eagle Group and the Cole Family."
Chester spoke with great confidence, believing that once he took out the president of the Eagle Group, no one in Angel City would be able to challenge him.
He then drove the Cole Family members out without taking any hostages.
After the Cole Family left, Charlotte and the others felt conflicted.
Chester's assistant voiced his concern. "Mr. Chester Clark, if Mr. Corleone personally took out those two boxing champs, you might not stand a chance against him."
Chester replied confidently, "Don't forget, I trained under a master. Mr. Corleone is definitely not my match. Remember those two boxing champs? They lost to me too."
Hearing Chester's words, Rick broke into a sweat. In Celestria, Chester had indeed defeated many opponents in boxing matches. But Chester believed it was due to his boxing skills, while Rick knew it was because his family had paid off his opponents.
For instance, Chester thought he was stronger than those two boxing champs, but Rick knew they had been bribed to lose to Chester.
Rick didn't dare reveal the truth, fearing Chester would kill him.
After a long hesitation, Rick said, "Alright, don't worry. I'll arrange everything. As long as Mr. Corleone agrees, I'm sure you can beat him."
Chester laughed smugly at Rick's words.
In the Eagle Group's office, George sat across from Leon, relaying the news. "Mr. Corleone, Chester is really strong in boxing. I suggest you refuse to fight him. From what I know, he trained under a powerful master and has defeated many opponents."
Because Chester was so confident, George also believed Chester was very strong.
But Leon wasn't fazed. He calmly said, "Tell Chester that if he wants to settle it this way, I agree."
Soon, the news spread, and people learned that it was likely the president of the Eagle Group who killed the two boxing champions, shocking everyone in Angel City.
Everyone knew how strong those two boxing champions were, and their deaths indicated the president of the Eagle Group was even stronger.
Despite this, Chester was still willing to challenge him, showing his immense confidence.
Rumors began circulating in Angel City.
"Have you heard that? Chester easily defeated those two boxing champions," someone said.
"So Chester is the strongest. No wonder he's so confident," someone marvelled.
"I never knew Mr. Corleone could box. He's basically asking for trouble," someone said worriedly.
People believed the president of the Eagle Group was just wealthy and powerful, not a skilled boxer, so they thought he was bound to lose.
On the day of the match, the stadium was packed. Everyone wanted to witness the fight firsthand.
Those who knew Leon's true identity looked worried.
Brooks frowned and asked, "Mr. Cole, who do you think will win today? Will Mr. Corleone lose?"
George replied gravely, "I hope not, but the more I learn about Chester, the more anxious I get. He's defeated so many opponents; no one has ever beaten him."
After George spoke, Brooks became even more nervous.
They knew Leon was a former Marine Corps instructor, but he was retired now. Could he really beat Chester?
More importantly, if Leon lost, it would affect the country's image, and other nations might seize the opportunity to attack Mythara.
While Brooks was deeply worried, the Eagle Group members finally arrived, led by Victoria and Remy, but Leon was not with them.
Seeing the Eagle Group members, the crowd fell silent.
Everyone looked over, eager to see what the president of the Eagle Group looked like.
Then the Clark Family members shouted, "Where's Mr. Corleone? Bring him out."
The Clark Family members were confident that once the president of the Eagle Group was dead, the Eagle Group would be finished, and the Clark Family would reap many benefits.
Remy coldly replied, "Mr. Corleone says Chester isn't worthy of being his opponent."
But after he spoke, the crowd's expressions turned strange.
"Remy, is Mr. Corleone scared? If he's scared, he can just forfeit. There's no need to say such things," someone mocked.
"Yeah, he's scared, right? Saying that is just ridiculous," another one added.
