Chapter 1831
Next to Rowan sat a young man, Evan Hartman, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, his expression cold and stern. He looked at Rowan with adoring eyes, though he hid it well, and smiled gently. He whispered, "Rowan, Joseph should have no trouble advancing." Rowan scoffed. "Of course I know that, but I still want to piss off Matthew… and those two pathetic suck-ups, Gabriel and Riker." Evan chuckled helplessly. "We're here to witness the trial, not stir up trouble. You're a girl, after all. Maybe tone it down just a little?" Rowan rolled her eyes. "Why should I? What, girls can't speak their minds now? Everyone keeps saying I'm born of winter's essence, cold inside and out. Well, screw that. I'll show the world they're full of crap. I am blazing hot through and through. Anyone who messes with me? I'll burn them alive!" Evan shook his head with an adoring look in his eyes. Whenever they argued, he always gave in. After all, Rowan was the girl of his dreams. The second round o

Just as Andrew had predicted, Joseph went in with a full-on blitz from the very first move. His fists tore through the air with relentless speed, launching a brutal offensive on all sides of Zachary. As a practitioner of physical techniques in martial arts, Joseph's greatest advantage was his explosive, fast-paced assault. Zachary clenched his jaw and stayed rooted, holding his ground with steady footwork. Whenever he was about to get overwhelmed, he took a step back. However, the moment he saw an opening, he reclaimed his position without fail. Joseph's expression remained cold. "Is that all you've got? Just standing there and taking hits? A pathetic approach to martial arts will only lead to a pathetic end!" With a sharp battle cry, his muscles bulged visibly. Then, he slammed a punch straight at Zachary's face. Zachary crossed his arms to block, but it was useless. A wave of pain shot through his entire body, like his meridians were splitting open. He staggered two steps b

Joseph gritted his teeth. His rapidly depleting stamina made his face flush red. However, he forced himself to hold on, not wanting others to see that he was all show and no substance. Zachary stayed expressionless as he stepped forward and aimed a sharp kick toward Joseph's throat. Joseph sneered and dropped his palm, ready to snap Zachary's ankle in retaliation. Little did he know that Zachary's move was a feint, not a real attack. The kicked foot retracted in mid-air and pulled back, and taking advantage of this opportunity, his other leg suddenly stepped forward. Using the retracted leg as a pivot point, he delivered an explosive kick toward Joseph's neck. "Crap!" Such rapid changes in technique, combined with the heavy force, left Joseph scrambling and finally cursing out loud. He frantically raised his arms, trying to protect his head and neck. However, having lost too much energy, he was still a beat too slow. A crisp slap echoed as Zachary's kick landed with the pr

Zachary looked grim as he endured his injuries and demanded angrily, "Mr. Yeager Senior, are the Yeagers just a bunch of sore losers?" Matthew avoided the main issue and refused to discuss winning or losing, instead continuing to pressure him. "You bastard, I'm giving you one last chance. Let go of my son. I told him to go easy on you earlier, but I never expected you to be so heartless and ungrateful!" He added, "This match doesn't count, and you have to do it over. And this time, my son's going to bash your damn skull in!" As the tide turned, Matthew completely abandoned any pretense of dignity. His prized son had just lost, and he was desperate to rewrite the outcome. And in Goldridge, the Yeagers had the power to do just that. Gabriel and Riker both frowned and quickly stepped in to back him up. "Zachary, was it? Let Joseph go. There were irregularities in the match. It's only fair to redo it," Gabriel said. Riker chimed in, "That's right. You should know you're not r

Matthew exploded with fury, his aura surging outward in a shockwave of rage. "Who the hell dares threaten to kill my son? If you've got the guts, then step out and say it to my face!" All eyes turned, instinctively locking onto Andrew's direction. Eventually, he strolled casually into the central aisle of the grand hall. He looked straight at Matthew and said flatly, "I said it. Got a problem with that, Mr. Yeager Senior?" Matthew roared, "Who the hell are you? Name yourself! The Yeagers don't waste time killing nobodies!" Andrew gave a sharp chuckle. "Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is that Joseph lost, and you just can't seem to handle it." Matthew's eyelid twitched violently as he growled, "Listen, the Yeagers are a noble family of Goldridge. If you knew our name, you wouldn't dare say such things!" Andrew scoffed. "I don't give a damn if you're the Yeagers, the Wallaces, or Goldridge royalty! Tell Joseph to admit defeat and get the hell out. Zachary's the real win

Someone said, "No matter what, this guy is just badass. Daring to go against the Yeagers and making both the father-son duo look like complete fools? That alone puts him above countless people here!" Nonetheless, some people thought Andrew was being reckless and seeking death, while others felt Andrew's behavior showed real heroic spirit. Alex approached and said coldly, "Zachary, you've advanced! Now come with me to see Mr. Thornton!" Jerome, being a high-ranking figure, had already left midway through the trial. So, he was not present for the chaos that followed. Zachary, still covered in blood and injuries, hesitated. "Mr. Wallace, may I change clothes and treat my wounds before meeting him?" Alex snapped impatiently. "When I say go, you go! What, you think you're a big deal now just because you won?" Zachary's expression darkened. It was obvious that Alex still would not let it go. Andrew's voice turned ice-cold. "You senile jackass, are you brain-dead? Can't you see

After leaving the great hall, Andrew pulled Zachary toward the back exit. Zachary looked puzzled and asked, "Captain, why are we going this way?" Andrew said flatly, "We're not taking the front entrance. There's trouble there." Zachary was startled. "You mean the Yeagers and Scarlett and those people?" Andrew's tone was somewhat helpless. "Those are fine. In the worst case, I'll just kill them if they get in my way. The real trouble is Rowan! That woman has her sights set on me, and I don't want to see her." Zachary forgot about his injuries and grinned mischievously. "Captain, really? Have you and Rowan already hooked up?" Andrew gave him a smack on the head. "Hooked up my ass! Doesn't your wound hurt? Why are you so damn nosy?" Zachary just kept laughing. "Hey, I'm in a great mood! The wounds hurt, but I made it to the inner circle! Captain, let me say it again: you're as awesome as ever!" Andrew waved him off, telling him to cut it out. The back exit also had guards

Rowan looked cold and indifferent. "So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?" Evan immediately felt uncomfortable, his voice rising with frustration. "So you do know him?" Rowan's cheeks turned a little red as she snapped back, "Evan, what are you trying to say?" Evan clenched his jaw. "Nothing. I just want to remind you not to forget who you are. Don't forget what we are to each other. You're focused on some random nobody, so what does that make me?" Rowan's expression dimmed, her tone distant. "I don't want to talk about this pointless stuff. I'm tired. Let's head back to the hotel to rest." Evan kept pace beside her and tried to explain, "Rowan, I wasn't trying to interrogate you. I just think that guy isn't worth your attention. He caused a huge scene earlier, and now he's on the Yeagers' blacklist. "With their influence in Goldridge, they will come after him. Plus, I've heard rumors that Mr. Thornton was recently attacked and is seriously injured. Goldridge is full o

Chapter 1839
The black luxury car sped out of Goldridge City and finally came to a stop in front of a secluded villa on the southern bank of the Moonveil River. Scarlett pulled her fur coat tighter around her shoulders and stepped out slowly. In front of the villa, rings of black-suited bodyguards stood layered in formation, and every single one had bulging temples and the aura of a trained killer. Even Andrew would have thought twice before charging into that kind of formation. "Ms. Driscoll, this way please," said a man at the entrance, his sleeve tied with a red ribbon. "Mr. Fischer and the other heads of house are already inside." Scarlett nodded in acknowledgment. The red ribbon was a long-standing emblem of the Fischer family's elite guard. Inside the first-floor hall, Scarlett entered to find over a dozen individuals already seated in silence. The hall was completely quiet with no one speaking, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive. By the floor-to-ceiling windows, Henry

Henry let out a dismissive snort and said with disdain, "Do you all really think my ambitions stop at replacing Jerome? No, you're dead wrong. I never cared about that Union Leader position. What I want is to defeat Jerome and eliminate the demons from my past!" Back in the day, Henry, brash and overconfident, once challenged Jerome. As expected, he lost. Even now, with his martial strength nearing perfection and his power unmatched, Jerome remained the thorn in his side. The others exchanged knowing glances, finally understanding what was really driving Henry. Scarlett's eyes lit up with bold ambition, and she could not help asking, "Mr. Fischer, since you have no interest in the Union Leader seat… May I recommend myself for the position?" Henry smirked. "Ms. Driscoll, did you forget you're a woman? I know you've always had a big appetite, Scarlett. You treat Mr. Driscoll Senior like he's already in your pocket. And you've always seen yourself as the queen bee over someone lik
