Chapter 337

Author: Only For You
Aspen's face darkened, and she could not help but step in. "Andrew, let it go. Think about it—Mr. Kelce is someone of his age and stature, and you're… well, you're not. Forcing him to kneel is just risking your own life."

Andrew's tone was calm as he replied, "I'm not worried. I'm built tough. I'd gladly accept it if he kneels and begs before me."

Aspen clenched her fists in anger and retorted, "Andrew, do you realize what you're risking? Mr. Kelce commands the loyalty of thousands in Bridgefields. Not only is he respected in the antique community there, but he also has powerful connections in martial arts circles. Are you ready for the retaliation that's bound to come your way if you force him to kneel today?"

Andrew let out a cold laugh. "Aspen, I see what you're trying to do. You're just trying to get him off the hook. And you're threatening me with Bridgefields' big shots and antique tycoons? Whether I'm afraid or not is one thing, but do you think these Jayrodale folks here

    It was the start of a new day. Winter was creeping closer, and the back lawn of Serenity Villa was already covered in frost by morning. Aspen had almost mastered the art of bone compression, and Andrew was ready to teach her real assassination techniques. He said, "A true assassin only gets one shot. If you can't take the target down in that one moment, you've already failed. And when that happens, you're left with only two outcomes." Andrew stood in gloves, his breath turning into mist under the icy wind. Francesca, Lauren, Dylan, Natasha, and Aspen stood in a straight line, listening intently. "What two outcomes?" Aspen asked curiously. Andrew replied, "One, you get killed by the target. Two, you fail and escape immediately, saving yourself before it's too late." Lauren scoffed. "Well, that's easy then. If the hit fails, you just run. Getting killed by the target? Not even possible! How about that, Andrew? Pretty clever, huh?" Andrew flicked her forehead hard, making

    Aaron took a deep breath, his face full of resentment. "Well, since you've already made up your mind, why bother asking for my opinion? Just let me know the time and place. Meeting you has been nothing but bad luck!" Andrew nodded with satisfaction. "Don't worry, I won't shortchange you. Taking down Marcelo will only benefit you. No downside to that at all." … Later, Andrew brought Rachel along as they made the rounds to a few other families. "Don't even think about it, Andrew! We're not your lackeys and won't do your dirty work!" "Seriously, you think you can give orders to us? Who the hell do you think you are? Andrew, you're nothing but a joke!" "Get lost! You're not worthy of ordering us around, and you sure as hell don't deserve our cooperation." Despite facing one harsh rejection after another, Andrew maintained his cheerful smile. Then, he dropped his bombshell. "I think it's necessary to remind everyone that Mrs. Peck, the matriarch of the Peck family, is my dea

    "Alright, Victoria, that's all for now," Andrew said with a grin as he ended the call. Aaron finally let out a breath of relief. When he wiped his forehead, his palm was soaked in cold sweat. He shot Andrew a furious glare. "Why the hell didn't you tell me earlier that you and Victoria were that close? Are you trying to get me killed, you bastard?" Andrew shrugged. "I told you already that my backing is solid. But you brushed it off, thinking your support was tougher than mine, so I had no choice but to bring out Victoria to prove it." Aaron ground his teeth in hatred, wanting to tear Andrew apart, but lacked the courage to! His subordinates all looked terrified, swallowing hard one after another. Andrew was puzzled. "I thought you were supposed to be a tough guy. What are you scared of?" With a ripping sound, Aaron tore open his shirt, revealing his muscular chest and a vicious knife scar that nearly ran across his entire torso. "See this? That's what your gentle, dear aun

    Aaron said coldly, "Among the three Dragon Kings of Blumedale's underworld, I may not have the largest operation, but that just means I'm the boldest and most ruthless. So, if I want answers, you'd better spill them fast and clean. Because once I run out of patience, Mr. Lloyd, your pretty face might not leave this place in one piece." Around them, his henchmen narrowed their eyes, radiating menace as they closed in. Andrew sighed and rubbed his temple. "You underworld guys... Why is it always threats, violence, and waving guns around with you guys? Listen closely—my backing is serious. You don't want to mess with me." Aaron blinked, then burst into mocking laughter. "Did you hit your head? Got so scared you lost your mind, maybe? You think I'd dare order you around if I was worried about who's behind you?" The two women massaging him giggled coldly. "Please, Mr. Nicholls doesn't care about your so-called powerful connections. Even Governor McCormick doesn't faze him. You wan

    "Mr. Lloyd, the Dragon King requests your presence." A sultry woman, dressed to tease, gave a seductive smile as she lowered her head in invitation, intentionally revealing a deep line of cleavage. Andrew did not hesitate. He strode boldly into the extravagant hall, completely unfazed. Rachel followed, uneasy. "Mr. Lloyd, doesn't it feel suspicious that the White Dragon King is being this friendly?" Andrew replied flatly, "Relax. He wouldn't dare try anything." Rachel stayed quiet, but admiration filled her eyes. Andrew's nerve was something else. The three Dragon Kings were notorious figures in Blumedale's underworld, each more dangerous than the last. Yet, Andrew had shown up alone, completely unarmed, and walked in like he owned the place. White Dragon King sat at the far end of the hall. He was a pale-skinned man in a white tailored suit, sipping red wine. His crimson leather shoes stood out as he lounged back in a modern office chair with one leg crossed. He looked

    Ryder was far from experiencing Marcelo's true caution. The latter waved his hand and ordered, "Springflow, search him! Highmist, check his phone!" Immediately, despite Ryder's resistance, he was pressed down on the table for a body search! Meanwhile, Highmist took out his phone and began checking it. Springflow released him and said coldly, "Sir, there's nothing on him." Highmist handed the phone back. "Sir, the phone's clean." Only then did Marcelo offer a genuine smile as he looked at Ryder. "Alright, now I believe you're not a mole for Andrew. Mason, we can begin our conversation now." Ryder was drenched in cold sweat, his back soaked. Once again, he felt a deep sense of relief. Andrew had gone through that phone beforehand. If not, he might have been exposed, and the cost for that could have been his life. Mason spoke in a serious tone. "Mr. Byrne, I need to make this clear. If you plan to kill Andrew, I won't be much help." Marcelo waved it off indifferently. "
