Chapter 270 A Rash Defense

In no time at all, Charlie’s face was sporting a new set of colorful bruises.

Charlie was not about to just roll over. After taking that hit, he threw one right back at Idris with equal force. In a heartbeat, the two guys were locked in a full–on scrap. Neither was known for pulling punches, but it looked like they were both out for blood, going at it violently.

It was pure reflex, the yelling and the blocking.
