Chapter 387

Author: Only For You
Leroy's soup dripped onto the table as he anxiously asked, "Aspen, now that Atlas is dead, what about our money?"

"Shut up!" Christina kicked him under the table. "How can you think about money at a time like this?"

With a grave expression, Christina turned to Aspen. "We need to act fast. Contact someone in the Northern District and get your investment back immediately."

Aspen snapped out of her daze and quickly dialed Atlas' office number. A raspy voice answered, "Who are you looking for?"

"This is Aspen from the Bridgefields' Stevens family. I need to speak with Mr. Atlas Giordano," she said urgently.

"Are you stupid? Mr. Giordano is as dead as he can be. If you want to find him, try looking in hell," the voice sneered.

Aspen snapped, "Watch your tone! Who do you think you are to speak to me like that?"

"I'll speak however I want, lady. Like I said, Mr. Giordano's dead, and he's finished," the voice replied coldly.

Aspen gritted her teeth. "Atlas may be dead, but the

    Andrew looked at Emily and said gravely, "Hank isn't someone easy to deal with. As a young woman, don't put your safety in the hands of an idiot. Emily, this is the last time I'm going to advise you. Leave Verhampton Valley immediately and return to the Keller family in Blumedale!" Emily looked displeased. "Andrew, mind your own business! I swore I'd get justice for Hannah, and I will definitely do it! I've already tracked down Hank's whereabouts. In a moment, I'm going to bring him to justice! If I don't kill him, I don't deserve to be part of the Keller family!" Andrew shook his head. "Sometimes, even good advice can't save someone who's already walking toward a cliff. Hank might come off as a fool, but even fools come in categories. Someone who came out of Special Ops? If you really think he's just another dumb thug, then you're dead wrong." Theo's bowl crashed to the floor as he glared furiously. "Andrew, that's enough! What gives you the right to lecture Emily like that? Y

    The next morning, Chantelle got out of bed with sore legs at the crack of dawn. As they sat down for breakfast, she grumbled, "You jerk! You went way too rough on me last night! You even kept going until it was almost morning!" Andrew shrugged. "Relax, you'll get used to it." Chantelle immediately spat out her soup, eyes blazing with fire. Get used to it? Was this guy seriously planning to wear her out every single night? That was not happening! "I'm done. You two enjoy the rest of your meal," she snapped, slamming her spoon down and walking off. Eric sipped a bit of soup. He did not even touch the dishes and quietly set his spoon aside. Andrew frowned at him. "Look at your skinny little frame. You're so weak I could break you with one punch. Come on, eat up like I told you." Eric responded flatly, "Andrew, enough already. I'm just temporarily your prisoner, not your slave! If you've got the guts, unlock my pressure points and let's have a proper fight!" Andrew scof

    Seeing how obedient Dirk looked, Andrew pulled out a small vial from his pocket. "This bottle is yours, right?" Dirk gave a sheepish laugh. "Yeah, it's mine. Mr. Nielsen told me to dump whatever's inside into your food or drinks. As for what's actually in it… I've got no clue." Andrew stopped paying attention to him and turned to Eric. Eric said calmly, "The vial contains parasite eggs. So, that means Cole is the one behind it." Andrew nodded. "Pretty much. Still, I didn't expect to find a martial artist dealing in parasites in a little town like Verhampton Valley." Dirk looked up hopefully. "Sir, I've told you everything I know. Can I go now?" Andrew shook his head. "Nope. You're going to die here." Dirk's vision went black, and he immediately dropped to his knees, nearly soiling himself. He could already tell that Andrew was definitely not an ordinary person. "Of course, if you want me to spare your life, that's not impossible either." Andrew gave him a glimmer of hop

    Andrew picked up the ice water from the table and poured it over the man. The unconscious skinny guy, Dirk Benedict, immediately jolted awake. "Please! Come on, man, don't kill me!" Andrew smirked, "Who do you think you are for me to spare you?" Dirk's face darkened. "Don't push it, man. I'm with Mr. Nielsen. And Mr. Nielsen works for Big Z from Verhampton Valley, the real shot-caller around here." Andrew's tone stayed flat. "Your little town actually has a shot-caller?" Dirk puffed up with pride. "What, scared now? Here's the truth: Big Z runs this place. He's got both the cops and the gangs in his pocket. And word is, he's got connections at the state level too! So be smart, let me go, and we'll pretend this never happened." Andrew slapped him twice without changing expression. "Sorry, I didn't quite catch that. My hearing's a little off. Say it again." Dirk clutched his stinging face and snapped. "I said, back off or else…" Another two slaps hit even harder, and th

    Andrew pulled his hand back and smiled. "How do you feel?" Eric stood up slowly, his tone icy. "Inferno Strike, right? You've been training with Dad's technique. No wonder you were completely immune to my Phantom Mirage." Andrew shrugged, not even trying to hide it. "You're right. It's Inferno Strike. But just so we're clear, Mr. Thornton gave it to me. I didn't sneak around and steal it." Eric stared at him for a long time, his expression unreadable. "You've already mastered the first stage, Flame Surge, to perfection in such a short time? Andrew, you really are just like Henry said: an absolute freak." Andrew grinned. "Come on, it's not that hard. I've got hands, haven't I?" Eric shook his head. "Inferno Strike is pure, blazing energy; it's aggressive and brutal. Even Dad never dared train in it. He respected it but always kept his distance. And yet here you are, charging headfirst and actually mastering it. I'll admit it. I'm no match for you." It was not easy for Eric t

    Andrew realized that he had forgotten about someone: Rowan! She had risked her own life trying to rescue him earlier. Although she had not succeeded, the gesture alone spoke volumes. While Andrew did not feel any romantic stirrings for her just yet, he still felt somewhat indebted to her, especially since he had successfully escaped from Goldridge. If she had not heard the news and tried again to pull some reckless stunt, that would spell real trouble. Soon, Andrew calmed down. The great battle at the Yeager estate would definitely shake all of Goldridge. And later, when Victoria stormed in solo, it definitely stirred the pot even more. Plus, Riker, the unfortunate leader of Hidden Dragons, ended up barely clinging to life. All those events stacked together had to be big enough for Rowan to catch wind of what happened. So, if word had gotten out that he had already made it out alive, she would have known to stand down. That reckless brat would surely know how to avoid danger
