Andrew mocked, "A century-old or not, I'll still kill you today!" Murderous intent erupted from his chest, and he raised his fist and met Stanley in another airborne clash. Stanley tried to use the recoil to twist away and make a break for the Elixir of Immortality. However, Andrew did not even need to reset his footing—he pushed off the ground and shot upward. In an instant, he vaulted above Stanley. Then, with brutal force, he drove his knee down toward him. At the same time, he grabbed the last remaining wooden pillar in the ruined pavilion and yanked it free. With a sickening thud, he slammed it against Stanley's head. Blood sprayed in every direction as the pillar exploded into splinters, and Stanley's spine snapped under the crushing impact of Andrew's knee. He coughed up a thick stream of dark, almost black blood before crashing hard into the ruined pavilion, barely clinging to life. "No!" Stanley let out a desperate, ragged scream—a dying howl of disbelief and rage.

Chantelle's eyes were blazing as she asked, "I wonder if I might finally have the honor of formally meeting the Dragon Prince?" Andrew looked around and replied, "What Dragon Prince? I don't know him and have never seen him! If you're looking for someone like that, go ask someone else—it's got nothing to do with me!" Chantelle was both exasperated and amused. "Mr. Lloyd, don't even try to deny it, I—" Before she could finish her sentence, the underground palace suddenly shook violently. Andrew's expression changed as he turned toward the massive bronze doors that had been pushed open. In the next instant, a flood of men in black suits, all heavily armed, stormed inside. Two neat rows of gunmen—over 100 strong—immediately surrounded Andrew and the others. A man in polished dress shoes stepped in with a smug grin that did not reach his eyes. "Well now, what a grand harvest." He shouted, "Mr. Driscoll, we've come to pick you up!" To everyone's shock, Rafael, who had been

Fortunately, Andrew had bet correctly. The collapse of the underground palace had not affected the underground river, and the rushing current still carried him and everyone else through a life-and-death underwater swim before bringing them outside the mountain. Everyone was gasping for air. "The sun! I can see the sun! We made it out alive! We escaped with our lives!" Logan laughed heartily. The sheer relief of surviving sent a wave of relief through everyone's tense body. Andrew was the first to climb onto the riverbank. One by one, he reached down and helped Tiana, Chantelle, Natasha, and Jerry up. Logan waved his hand and laughed, "It's okay, Andy, I can get up by myself. You should rest!" Andrew chuckled and plopped down on the ground, relaxing his entire body. Beside him lay the golden teak safe. He still had not had a chance to open it and see what the Elixir of Immortality looked like. Tiana, Natasha, and Logan were all taking inventory of their gains. Although ev

It was the Dire Tiger—hung up by its limbs, completely lifeless. Natasha stared in shock. "Wait… did the Patoaja warriors actually take this thing down?" Just then, Buzz walked over. He said, "We found the beast up in the mountains. By the time we got to it, it was already half-dead. It didn't take much effort for us to put it down." Andrew did not know how to respond. He could not explain exactly how the Dire Tiger had already been dying inside the tomb. Chantelle stepped forward to offer context. "Captain Buzz, Chief Flintspire has already—" Before she could finish, Buzz raised a hand and cut her off. "Axel is no longer our chief. For years, he did terrible things behind the villagers' backs. We don't want to talk about the details, but as far as we're concerned, whatever happens to him is no longer our concern." He continued, "Our village just wants peace from now on. If outsiders want to be here for tourism, we welcome that. But if there's any other agenda, we won't be

Aspen immediately said like a total treasure goblin, "Then we absolutely must keep this pill safe! If word of this gets out, it'll probably cause countless people to come and fight for it!" Andrew closed the golden teak box and smiled. "We'll continue storing it in this box. For now, none of us needs this pill!" High-grade pills could be deadly due to their potency, and even Andrew did not dare swallow this pill. One wrong move, and he might literally explode from the inside out. Meanwhile, Yara kept calling desperately, wanting Andrew to come to the Wright estate and take control of the situation. He did not refuse and immediately headed to the Wright estate after changing clothes. The Wright family was currently in complete chaos. Kevin had one legitimate wife who had given birth to Quinton and Winston, whom Andrew had previously crippled. Both brothers were completely out of the picture, broken and disgraced. Especially Quinton, the eldest son, whose martial arts had b
