Chapter 540

Author: Only For You
Michael warned through gritted teeth, "Andrew, Aunt Tiana is gracious enough to let this slide, but you'd better watch your mouth. The first time might be luck, but the second time? Even if she spares you, I certainly won't."

Andrew glanced at him with a faint smirk and said, "Michael, you're no longer the CEO, so stop pretending to be someone important in front of me. Let's face it, you're just a washed-up vice CEO now, only capable of managing a few departments. As a board member, I answer to the company, not you."

Michael's face turned crimson with anger, but he could not find a rebuttal. Stripped of his CEO title, he no longer had the authority to give Andrew orders.

Ignoring Michael's silent fury, Andrew turned his attention to Tiana and said firmly, "Troy made mistakes and deserves to be held accountable. But throwing him into prison at the drop of a hat makes the Rhodes family seem cold and ruthless. After years of loyalty, handling him this way feels unnecessarily harsh a

    "Well then, Ms. Theron, I'll take my leave and let you two talk." Uriel glanced at Andrew before turning to walk out. Andrew ignored him, frowning slightly as he looked toward the curtain. Everyone said the Reyes family's upper ranks were strange and unpredictable, people whose behavior could not be measured by common sense or logic. Among the major houses in Chetvine, none were more mysterious or morally gray than the Reyes family. And the force behind them, the Umbral Peak Sect, was practically the definition of evil. Elaine was certainly living up to that reputation. By right, Andrew was just a guest, a stranger even. Elaine had no reason to stay alone with him, especially since certain factions in Chetvine already had issues with him. Some people probably turned red with anger just at the mention of his name. Yet, his woman was being all mysterious and secretive, and Andrew had no idea what she was up to. Still, it did not really matter. Since he was already here, he

    "That's right. I'm nearly at the end of my rope. And yes, I was indeed injured by a peerless martial god. His Heart-Crushing Palm destroyed my core and broke every major vein in my body. If he hadn't shown mercy, I'd already be buried six feet under." As he spoke, Uriel slowly turned his head, his sharp eyes glinting as they landed on Andrew. "The Lloyd family's Dragon Prince truly lives up to his name. Go ahead, you may speak to Ms. Theron." He stepped aside, clearing the garden path. Andrew did not hesitate or bother with formalities. He simply walked past, heading toward the pavilion on the other side of the garden. Enzo looked dumbfounded. 'That's it? Mr. Atkinson is letting him through just like that? A second ago, he just said no!' He could not make sense of how these powerful martial figures operated, always so unpredictable and contradictory. Uriel followed behind Andrew with steady steps, his voice breaking the silence. "I'm curious. Since you can see my condition

    Enzo froze for a moment before quickly shaking his head. "Meeting Mr. Reyes Senior is impossible, or to be exact, there's zero chance of that happening. Mr. Lloyd, you might as well give up on that idea. Even I don't have the qualifications to see him in person most of the time." He forced a dry laugh and added, "But seriously, Mr. Lloyd, why do you want to meet him? The Reyes family, well… let's just say this, and I mean no offense, but we're not exactly eager to welcome you." Seeing the forced smile on his face, Andrew waved his hand casually. "You don't need to worry about why I want to see him. What you need to do is bring me to someone important in your family, someone who actually makes decisions. If it's just some nobody, don't bother." Enzo shook his head firmly. "Mr. Lloyd, I really can't help you with that." Andrew's smile deepened. "I think you might've misunderstood something. I'm not asking for your help, and I'm not requesting a favor. I'm… ordering you." Enzo's

    Andrew stood up and said, "Alright then, I'll make a trip to the Reyes residence." Before heading out, he returned to his rundown place and picked up a plastic container. Inside were ten ninth-grade supreme elixirs. In terms of sheer value, they were worth enough to buy out an entire prestigious family outright. If Andrew was willing to put in an extra effort or offer up some decent leverage, he could even get a martial emperor to go all out for him. For instance, he could have them completely wipe out the Owens family, where Mikayla belonged. That was the kind of power Andrew now wielded. Perhaps in martial arts, he was still limited by the seal on his energy core and could not reach the absolute peak, where no god or man could stand in his way. However, his influence and the kind of shockwaves he could create were already far beyond what an ordinary martial emperor could compete with. After all, Andrew was not just a high-level martial artist; he was also a ninth-grade supr

    Luna glanced at Andrew with a flat expression. "Get well soon. And honestly, I think I understand why you got beaten up. It's probably because of that mouth of yours." With that, she turned and walked out of the Lloyd family estate. Andrew frowned as he watched her disappearing figure. She was still as fierce as always, always wanting to have the last say and mocking him. Before long, Amari returned, panting heavily. "Andrew, the situation's not looking good." Andrew remained calm. "It's fine, just tell me what it is. It's not the end of the world." Amari said, "Didn't you ask me to contact some fellow alchemists? Those guys have impeccable skills in alchemy, no question about it. Among them are two eighth-grade divine alchemists who are close friends of mine. Additionally, there are a few sixth-grade and seventh-grade alchemists who are also acquaintances of mine. If we want to start our own operation, getting them to join wouldn't be a problem. "But the problem is, right

    Andrew shrugged. "The Divine Alchemists interfered with Sovereign's Apothecary's affairs and sent over an elder. Theon couldn't stand Amari and me, and the Divine Alchemists' leader, Julius Bowen, couldn't stand me either. So I had no choice but to pack my things and leave." Luna looked confused. "Don't they know that you're a ninth-grade supreme alchemist? What were they thinking? This kind of self-sabotaging move makes no sense." Andrew's tone stayed calm. "Leaving Sovereign's Apothecary isn't a bad thing. I didn't like depending on others anyway. If you still want to study alchemy with me, that's fine, but give me a few days… I need to get some things in order first." Luna, sharp as ever, immediately guessed his plan. "You're not thinking of going independent and starting your own alchemy institute, are you?" Andrew chuckled. "Close, but not exactly. I'm not building a lab or an institute, I'm forming an alliance. I'm going to break Sovereign's Apothecary's monopoly over eli
