Chapter 1901
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

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 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

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

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

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

Back at the hotel, Theo spat angrily as he glared at the door. "Ugh! What's so great about that bastard?! If it weren't for Ms. Garcia, I would've taught that punk a lesson myself!" Emily said flatly, "Enough. Finish eating. After this, we're going to arrest Hank." Theo puffed up with confidence. "Don't worry, Emily. I'll personally take him down and drag him back to Blumedale so Mr. Keller Senior can deal with him. This is the perfect chance for me to make things official between us!" Emily seemed distracted. "Let's just focus on catching Hank first. Handle that jerk, and then we'll talk. Theo, you know I don't like it when you rush things." Theo gave her a charming grin. "I get it, Emily. A queen like you isn't easy to win over. But it's fine, I have plenty of patience and ability to win your heart!" Emily forced a smile. "Theo, you and your guys, plus mine… Are you sure it's enough to take down Hank? If not, I'd like to reach out for outside help." Theo immediately shut

"We've been discovered! Let's go upstairs and grab him!" Andrew shouted quickly as he shot up like a whirlwind, rushing up the stairs to the second floor. Several black shadows flew through the air, coming toward him with whooshing sounds. Andrew snorted coldly and flicked his right hand, sending several golden needles shooting out. Three small black spiders fell to the ground, still twitching even though they were dead. In the second-floor room, Cole was wearing a bathrobe, obviously having just woken up without time to get dressed. Staring at Andrew, he said grimly, "Who are you? Why are you trespassing on my home?" Chantelle caught up from behind, gritting her teeth. "Cole, you're the one who poisoned the people of Verhampton Valley with parasites, aren't you?" Cole gave a sinister laugh. "You must be that chief of staff who came with Mr. Armstrong to investigate the case, right? You really are a knockout. Perfect! Since you've both tracked me down here, you can die! I

"Oh? And here I thought it might be someone important. Turns out it's just a mutt from the Fischer family of Blumedale." Hank finally showed himself. Behind him, a few scantily clad women scurried out, covering their bodies as they fled. Emily gritted her teeth. "You're disgusting. Even at the brink of death, you're still living it up. Today, you're going to pay for what you did to Hannah." Hank sneered. "And you must be Emily, the eldest daughter of the Keller family. Not bad… definitely a knockout. And honestly, you've got way more charm than that little tramp Hannah. "I'll give you one chance. Get the hell out of here. Otherwise, what I did to her will look like a warm-up. I'll destroy you in ways you can't imagine." Emily's face turned red with rage. "Theo! What are you waiting for? Shut that filthy mouth of his!" Theo scoffed. "You dare talk to my woman like that? You're dead, you bastard!" With a sharp kick, he aimed straight for Hank's face. Hank's coat flared as

Immediately, more than a dozen subordinates were sent flying with blood spurting from their mouths. Some were dead, some injured. Theo's scalp went numb as he wanted to flee. However, with Emily right there beside him, if he ran away, his woman would surely fall into Hank's hands. He gritted his teeth and desperately charged forward. Hank gave a sinister laugh, his speed exploding as he grabbed Theo by the throat and slammed him hard against a nearby tree trunk. The massive tree shook at its roots. That single impact nearly crushed Theo's organs, and he felt like his heart and lungs were about to burst out of his throat. Hank held Theo's throat tight with one hand and used the other to land two vicious slaps across his face. Blood and teeth flew from Theo's mouth in a grotesque spray. Emily stood frozen in shock. "Theo, are you okay?" Theo silently cursed at Emily for being a dumb bitch. He was practically dying, and she was still asking if he was okay. "Hank, if yo
