Song Lei would be the key part of the plan in giving the slight advantage Aston needed. Of course, realizing this, Edward had no plans of letting Song Lei go. Dumping another attack on Aston's head, he turned and dashed towards Song Lei.
Song Lei smirked. Although what Edward did was relatively smart, he had made a very simple mistake. Song Lei wasn't just long-range support. He could handle himself in close-range combat pretty well. To think that it would be easy to take Song Lei out in one swoop and turn the situation into a one versus one was wishful thinking.
Before Edward could reach him, Song Lei bent his legs and jumped back, instantly doubling the distance between them. Now that the element of surprise was gone, Aston could catch up to Edward before he could even get anywhere near Song Lei.
