Andrew was not ready to give up and kept pressing. "Sure, you've got money, but without people, what's the point? Don't you want revenge? Don't you want to hit the Driscoll family where it hurts? "And can you honestly protect that much cash all on your own? Come on… Right now, the Driscoll family's Shadow Division is in my Serenity Villa. Your base just got wiped out, so this is the perfect time to blow off steam. Come kill a few to honor your fallen men." Aaron cursed. "Damn you, Andrew, you actually talked me into it. Hell, you're right. Right now, I'd love to use Maurice's head as a urinal. I can't get to that old dog yet, but I can sure as hell kill a few Shadow Division bastards to honor my men." Andrew chuckled. "Then I'll be waiting. Talk to you later." He ended the call and turned his head, only to find Tiana staring at him with an odd expression and Eric watching with a mocking smirk. Natasha and Dylan had already charged into Serenity Villa to back up Lauren and the

While the battle at Serenity Villa was raging under the dark moonless sky, underground Blumedale at Ronald's headquarters was also filled with flashing blades and thunderous battle cries. "Sir, it's over. Our entire operation is gone," a trusted aide, bloodied and teary-eyed, stumbled to Ronald's side. Ronald's sinister face was blazing with fury. "Is the Driscoll family really going to wipe us out completely?" His subordinate broke down completely. "We've already lost over 100 men. The attackers are Driscoll family affiliates, including elite martial artists pulled from various family branches and dozens of hired mercenaries from the martial arts world. "With all these core forces combined, we don't stand a chance against them. Sir, we need to surrender and preserve what little strength we have left!" Surrender? Ronald's weathered face twitched violently, his teeth nearly cracking. His own turf was worth more than any gilded palace. Here, he was the mighty Dragon King o

Mario shouted, "Now, come over here and get on your knees!" Ronald trembled from pure rage and humiliation. Forcing a man to kneel was no different from slapping him across the face and spitting in his mouth. Nevertheless, with the situation pressing down on him, refusing was not an option. He told himself that a real man knew when to bow and when to stand tall. Andrew had already caused him enough misery, and he could not let that bastard's games cost him his life as well. "Fine!" he ground out, forcing the words past his teeth. Mario wore a smug, mocking smile as he spread his legs apart and waited for Ronald to kneel before him. Ronald bent his knees slightly, doing mental gymnastics and telling himself it was just like giving respect to this man's grave in advance, so what did it matter? Then, out of nowhere, a scream ripped through the air outside. Ronald's people and the Driscoll family forces were simultaneously alarmed and confused by the commotion. The nex

Ronald snarled, "You're here alone, and you call this reinforcement? Logan, do you even realize you've just gotten me killed?" Logan's face was the picture of innocence. "Got you killed? Now that's unfair. I followed Andy's orders to the letter and came here to save you. Do you have any idea how much danger I put myself in to get here?" Ronald nearly lost his footing. If this were not life or death, he would have gladly stopped fighting the Driscoll family just to strangle Logan first. One by one, his men fell, cut down without mercy by the Driscoll family's fighters. His blood boiled as he roared, "Everyone, fight your way out of the hall! Save your lives first!" In that instant, everything clicked in his mind like a hammer to the skull. Logan was not here to save him; he was here to drag Ronald straight to hell. He knew Ronald was about to surrender. So, he staged a sneak attack, making the Driscoll family believe Ronald's plea for mercy was a lie. Once they stopped be

By the time morning broke, the Driscoll family's first wave of retaliation had wrapped up without a hitch. Maurice had gone to bed long before, never bothering to concern himself with something this trivial. With the firepower they had sent, he believed Andrew had no chance. In Maurice's eyes, everyone else, aside from Andrew himself, was just useless dead weight. Before dawn, Maurice was woken up. "Dad, last night our Shadow Division raided Serenity Villa, but we came back with nothing!" Scarlett stood there with a dark look on her face. Maurice swung his legs out of bed, frowning. "Nothing? What does that mean? Where's Andrew's crew? Did they take them all down?" Scarlett's jaw tightened. "That little punk was on high alert and set an ambush inside Serenity Villa. Not only did we take heavy casualties, but his people pulled out early and disappeared somewhere we can't track." Maurice gave a cold snort. "Dead men are nothing. In the Driscoll family, lives are the chea

Nonetheless, love was one thing. What if that love was misplaced? What if all these years of nurturing and investment had been wasted on the wrong person? Scarlett wondered if Maurice could handle that kind of heart-wrenching pain. Fortunately, everything was still hidden beneath the surface, and no matter how one looked at it, Joe appeared to be a true Driscoll. Otherwise, he could not have inherited such excellent family genes. This was how Scarlett comforted and reassured herself. After saying goodbye to Maurice, she got in the car and headed to Driscoll Corporation, where she had always held absolute power over the family's business operations. Franklin was already waiting in the car, having finally changed out of his robes into casual clothing. When Scarlett got in, he immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Praise the Eternal Eclipse, Ms. Driscoll!" Scarlett remained expressionless. "Mr. Gurney, since you've left the monastery, there's no need for that act anymore

Over at the Peck residence, Rachel came in with a report. "Mr. Lloyd, Scarlett has already headed to Driscoll Corporation. Judging by her grand show, it's like she's not afraid of you at all." Andrew simply gave a faint hum and said nothing, as he was still listening to Victoria and Tiana give their reminders. "That poor kid Joe is most likely not Maurice's son," Tiana said with a mocking smile. "Why do I say that? Because back when Mia, that shameless woman, decided to marry Maurice, she had already slept with Franklin multiple times. So Joe is most likely Franklin's child, not Maurice's." Tiana glanced at Victoria, who nodded. "What she's saying is very likely true. Andrew, you're bound to face Maurice sooner or later. When the final battle starts, you could use this to throw him off balance, then strike him down while he's distracted." Andrew shook his head. "I don't like using tactics like that. I can kill Maurice in a fair fight." Tiana's eyes lit up. "Andy, don't tell

Tiana scoffed. "Back then, you loved Reggie more crazily than anyone else. You were willing to do anything for him. At least when I do something, it's open and direct. I love, I hate, and I say it to someone's face… Not like you, hiding and scheming in the shadows." Victoria's face flushed with a rosy color that made her look absolutely stunning. If this had been her old self, she would have already exploded and beaten Tiana senseless. But now, with her weak body and ruined martial arts, she was essentially helpless. She could only respond with a cold laugh. "Tiana, I'm not as shameless as you are. Besides, I'm completely alone now with nobody in my life. Calvin's betrayal has already made him dead to me, and Reginald left me years ago. "What I needed to forget, I've forgotten, and what I can't forget has turned into indifference or hate. I owe him nothing; if anything, he owes me. Now that I've lost everything, nothing really matters anymore." Tiana exclaimed in shock, "What

At the Driscoll Corporation building, security was incredibly tight today, with all uninvited visitors being turned away. Even official government inspectors were rudely blocked from entering, and if they had any complaints, the Driscoll family would deal with Derek about it later. This unusual operation naturally drew a lot of attention and endless speculation from onlookers. One commented, "It looks like the Driscoll family and Mr. Lloyd from the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce have brought their fight out into the open!" Others were even more dramatic in their assessments. "It's way beyond just being in the open. They've probably been clashing behind the scenes countless times already, beating each other bloody!" Another chimed in, "The Driscoll family has held their position as one of the Three Titans for years, so Andrew is basically digging his own grave!" However, not everyone agreed with this perspective. "Actually, I think the Driscoll family is going to take a m

"It looks like the Driscoll family really spared no expense for you." Andrew observed with interest. Scarlett felt more confident, and her arrogance swelled again. "What's wrong? Getting scared already now that we've just started fighting? Too bad it's already too late for regrets." Her martial arts style followed a vicious path, with energy in the same dark category as Victoria's. However, Victoria's pure Pale Specter's energy, while Scarlett's was a murderous aura cultivated through killing. The two were completely different in nature. The pressure in the lobby of the Driscoll Corporation's first floor spiked, making the surrounding glass creak and rattle. Scarlett attacked in a relentless storm, her clawed strikes aiming straight for Andrew's vital points. Unfortunately, even with her improved fighting power, she was still quite weak in Andrew's eyes. Andrew pushed out with one palm, timing it perfectly to strike just as Scarlett's strength was exhausted. She immedia
