Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1370

Edgar tried to calm himself down. He pulled down Henry and put a finger under Henry's nose. He frowned when he found out that Henry's breathing was getting weak and slow. He stood up at once and ran to the direction where the bullet came from.

There was a bullet hole in the glass window, small cracks, and scattered glass fragments. He could tell which gun was used at a first glance. It was a 0.50 caliber pistol of the Eagle of the Desert. This kind of pistol was improved later. To some extent, it could be equal to a M16 assault rifle at a certain distance.

Edgar glanced around the place and found that there were many places suitable to attack Henry. It was hard to tell where the assault point was due to the city lights. Edgar had no time to think it over. He turned back and found Henry dead. The bullet got straight into his heart. He had died without uttering another word.

Edgar took out his phone and tried to call Jerry. But while he was dialing Jerry's number, he saw a person sliding away from the corner of his eyes. Without any second thoughts, he chased quickly after that person.

The man seemed terrified when Edgar chased him onto his tracks so he sped up and jumped out of the community in a few minutes.

Edgar also sped up, following him, and jumped over the wall. He never knew that there was a small man-made park behind the community until now. There were a lot of rocks and trees that stood in rows. Even though the leaves had fallen down during winter, the trees still blocked the view.

Edgar kept his focus on the man and took even quicker steps. At the side of a small lake, which got frozen, he managed to tackle the man onto the ground.

The man had agile movements so he wasn't frightened because of Edgar's actions. He managed to give Edgar a surprise punch and jumped back to his feet at the same time.

It felt like time stopped for them as they stared at each other.

The man moved his eyes around, trying to find a way to escape. Unfortunately, he found that there were many obstacles no matter which direction he would take. He couldn't escape from behind since there was a fake amber decoration. It wasn't an ideal path. Then there was Edgar in front of him so it was harder to escape at that direction.

Edgar looked at the man. The man wore a protective helmet, only showing his eyes and mouth. It was hard to identify him because of the equipment even if daylight. And the dark night only made it more difficult.

"Who the hell are you?" Edgar asked coldly. "Why did you kill Henry?" His tone was domineering, enough to frighten others in the cold dark night.

The man kept glancing around and seemed to hold something inside his hand. When Edgar asked, he got so nervous that he couldn't help but squeeze his hand.

Edgar narrowed his eyes and kicked the man's chest directly. Since the man was agile, he turned sideways to dodge the kick.

Edgar didn't stop his movements. The moment he retracted his leg back, he did another kick with his other leg. The man wasn't given any time to put down his things. He was thinking on how to run away while trying to block Edgar's attacks.

The man had no other choice than to look for an escape route while Edgar couldn't catch him, either. Edgar kept throwing harder and faster attacks but the man still had the strength to resist. It was like a battle no one could win.

The man didn't want to deal with Edgar. He kept stepping backward, trying to leave as quickly as he could. However, Edgar wouldn't give him any chance to escape.

No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to escape. He was forced to take another step backwards. Anxiety was present in his eyes. If he was forced to step back onto the corner of the wall, he wouldn't have any other way. If there were more people, it would be more difficult for him.
