Leonardo’s men had no disrespect for Charles’s men, provoking them repeatedly until they were wholly infuriated.

Three gunshots rang out from downstairs, prompting Leonardo’s men to rush upstairs to report it.

“They injured our men, Boss!”

Upon hearing that, Leonardo immediately loaded his gun and snarled unceremoniously, “You’ve brought this upon yourself, Charles!”

The longer he remained there, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

However, he quickly noticed something amiss. Gradually, he felt a loss of strength, and his head began spinning.
