The Man's Decree novel Chapter 1444

Chapter 1444 Doubt

Howard looked at Astrid. He was confused about the reason she said that. After all, her current power was unfathomable and immense as well.

Seeing that Howard didn’t understand what she meant at all, Astrid stopped speaking. She took a few quick steps forward and put some distance between herself and Howard.

“Ms. Gunderson…”

Howard ran in pursuit. Regardless of what Astrid meant, it was great that she spoke up to remind him. Hence, he wanted to get closer to her. That way, he would have someone to take care of him during the Trial.

Besides, Astrid was technically a goddess in Howard’s heart. Thus, it was always a good thing if he could be close to his goddess.

“What’s the matter?” Astrid asked as she turned around to face Howard.

“Ms. Gunderson, thank you for your concern and reminder. However, if there’s a chance, I’ll still kill Edgar,” Howard thanked Astrid with a grateful expression.

“You don’t have to thank me. I’m not concerned about you. I just don’t want Edgar’s strength to grow too rapidly. If you insist on killing him, I have no say in the matter. Edgar will surely accept the meat delivered right to his mouth.”

With that, Astrid no longer paid attention to Howard.

Meanwhile, Howard was dumbfounded. What does Edgar’s increase in strength have to do with me killing him?

Actually, Astrid had already realized the fact that Edgar could absorb someone else’s power.

However, she didn’t tell others, as Edgar would only attack the members of insignificant sects. To them, those people were at the bottom of the hierarchy.

Edgar didn’t kill Howard out of fear for the Dunn family. After all, the Dunn family was considered a prestigious family in Jadeborough’s martial arts world.

Yet, if Howard really wanted to kill Edgar, Astrid knew Edgar would never show mercy.

When the time came, Edgar’s power would certainly improve rapidly if he had absorbed Howard’s strength.
