Sofia said, "I'll cook for you myself and make something delicious." Andrew chuckled. "Mrs. Garcia, you don't have to! I'm just a country boy from the backwoods. I'm not used to Terror Town's fancy cooking!" Sofia almost teared up and said, "How could you say that? If you came from the sticks, then what does that make us, city folks, cavemen? I'm the one who should be worried, afraid you might look down on our cooking!" Patrick quickly chimed in, "Exactly! Andy, please don't think our home is too simple. If you like, we can go out right now, to the best restaurant in town!" Andrew still shook his head. "No rush, I'm just not that hungry right now. But after all this talking, I am getting pretty thirsty." Sofia immediately stood up. "You're thirsty and didn't say anything? Let me make you some tea right away!" When Sofia brought the tea, Andrew picked up the cup but immediately set it back down. Under Sofia and the others' confused stares, Andrew said casually, "I can't

Sofia came over with a second cup of tea, carefully saying, "Andy, try this one, I switched it to Earl Grey." Andrew waved his hand. "Mrs. Garcia, I still think plain warm water is fine. Black tea's so strong on the stomach, and my system's always been a little sensitive." Sofia gave an awkward laugh and nodded quickly. "Oh dear, how inconsiderate of me. Wait here, I'll bring you hot water instead." By this point, Andrew had completely tamed her. She did not dare show even a hint of attitude. Meanwhile, Cassandra watched as Carlos had been reduced to a complete joke, sitting there like a sidelined player. She felt it was unfair for her husband and could not help feeling frustrated. Why should Chantelle get all the attention just because she brought a boyfriend home? Even though they were sisters who should support each other, she still wanted to compete with Chantelle and prove that she, as the older sister, was the superior one. Most importantly, she could not stand how

Andrew looked genuinely surprised. "You think calling him useless is too harsh? I actually think it’s perfectly normal. In my family, if someone couldn’t even make that kind of money in a year, they’d be thrown out, have their arms and legs broken, and kicked from the house!" Cassandra gritted her teeth in fury. She knew Andrew was bragging, but she was completely powerless to do anything about it. Sofia walked over with a lecturing tone. "Cassie, Carlos, did you hear what Andy said? Look at him, then look at yourselves. What he's saying is exactly what we've been thinking." She continued, "You two are just useless, understand? Remember this… From now on, you need to learn from Andy. If you could pick up even a tiny bit of what he has, it would last you a lifetime!" Cassandra wanted to die from embarrassment. Chantelle had only brought Andrew home for two hours, yet the power dynamics had completely flipped. Now, she and Carlos were the ones being trampled, while Andrew, who wa

Andrew said, "Well then, Mr. and Mrs. Garcia, let's go out to eat! Since this is my first visit to your home, I should really treat everyone." Patrick quickly protested. "Andy, what are you saying?! This is your first time here, and as your hosts, we should be the ones treating you!" Sofia chimed in agreement. "Exactly, Andy! You don't need to be so polite with us! Patrick and I are completely satisfied with you. So this first meal should definitely be our treat." Andrew shrugged casually. "Whether you treat or I treat, it's all the same, really. I'm just thinking you might not be able to get reservations at the good restaurants. So I should probably handle it instead!" Those words were pretty much a direct slap in the face. Even so, Patrick could only respond with awkward laughter, nothing else. However, Sofia could not stop grinning. Her future son-in-law spoke with such dominance, and she loved it. He might be bold, but at least he had the power to back it up. Chante

Jasmine said, "Take Terror Town, for example. Less than ten people in the entire city would qualify to go up there!" Andrew replied, "I'm not from Terror Town, but I think I should qualify." Before Jasmine could respond, a cold voice cut through the air. "Excuse me, could you please move aside?" Along with an overwhelming wave of expensive perfume, a woman in a sharp business suit with an icy expression walked over. Carlos was startled and quickly stepped out of the way. "It's Ms. Ophelia Barclay, the personal secretary to Mr. Elijah Knowles, the Prince of Terror Town." Patrick and Sofia obviously knew how powerful she was and quickly moved aside, lowering their heads. Cassandra forced a flattering smile and greeted her eagerly, "Ms. Barclay, hello! I'm Cassandra from the Garcia family. I interviewed you last time. Do you remember me?" Ophelia gave her a cold glance and replied indifferently. "Sorry, I don't remember." Cassandra's face flushed bright red, embarrassed b

Omar held a tablet in his hands that ran on an independent system. It kept updated records of influential figures from all walks of life, exclusively for Sky Garden reservations. Andrew's name appeared prominently in the top three, which left Omar shaken to his core. Ophelia sensed something was wrong and frowned. "Mr. Henson, what is it?" Omar wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly said, "I-It's nothing…" Then, he glanced at Andrew and quickly added, "I apologize, Mr. Lloyd, for offending you earlier. Please wait, I'll invite our owner to come over right away." Ophelia's jaw dropped. She could not believe what she was hearing. Why would they need to bring out the owner himself? After all, the owner was one of Terror Town's top tycoons. She exhaled sharply and convinced herself Omar was calling the owner for Elijah's sake. Thinking she had figured it out, she smugly raised her chin again. Meanwhile, Chantelle's family looked uneasy. They all wondered why

Maxwell said, "This time, we have a distinguished guest visiting, and we need to take care of our VIP first." Ophelia snapped, "Are you saying Mr. Knowles isn't as important as that guy from earlier?" Maxwell looked a little impatient. "Ms. Barclay, if you insist on asking, then I'll be blunt. Mr. Knowles is nothing compared to him, so stop making a scene!" With that, he hurried off to select bottles of vintage wine and personally went to host Andrew. Ophelia ground her teeth in fury. "We'll see when Mr. Knowles shows up. Sure, there are people in Terror Town bold enough to ignore him, but never some nobody like that!" From the Sky Garden, the entire skyline of Terror Town stretched out before them. Under the night sky, the city lights glittered like a sea of stars, and the view was stunning. Sofia's vanity was completely satisfied as she sighed. "Andy, you're really incredible. Thanks to you, we finally get to have dinner here." Andrew smiled. "Mrs. Garcia, don't say

The dinner took a full three hours to finish. Actually, Andrew was done after just half an hour. However, Sofia, Carlos, and Cassandra were all eating slowly, savoring every bite while chatting excitedly. Andrew did not say much and just let them be. After finishing their food, they insisted on touring the place before finally calling it a night. As they stepped out, Chantelle leaned close with a grateful smile. "Honey, thank you for indulging me. I know you were already getting impatient, right?" Andrew rubbed his nose and said, "Not really impatient… Just felt like your mom is a bit… difficult." Chantelle giggled behind her hand. "You're the difficult one! Honey, you're not allowed to get annoyed at my family." Andrew pinched her nose. "Don't worry. To win a beauty like you, I'll put up with anything!" He thought Chantelle's family was not that bad. Except for initially looking down on people, everything else was fine. While they were taking their sweet time here, someo

Step by step, Elijah walked toward Andrew with his men. "Do you not know who I am, or are you deliberately trying to cause trouble for me?" Patrick's family was terrified once again. They never expected that going out for dinner would result in crossing paths with a big shot like Elijah. Carlos put on a pleasing smile. "Mr. Knowles, I'm so sorry, truly sorry! I'm Carlos of the Watts family. Please, sir… Do me this kindness. We'll leave right away." Elijah smirked coldly. "Who the hell do you think you are? Asking me to do you a favor?" At his barked command, a fighter behind him lashed out, slapping Carlos so hard he flew across the floor with blood spraying from his mouth. Sofia screamed, almost collapsing, while Chantelle shouted in anger, "What right do you have to hit people?" Elijah smirked. "Do I need a reason to hit someone? All irrelevant people, get lost. Tonight, I'm only here for Andrew!" Andrew gently pulled Chantelle back and chuckled. "Step aside. Let me see

Even Chantelle was somewhat worried. "Honey, is this going to escalate into something bigger?" Andrew scoffed dismissively. "Do you think I'm afraid of things getting bigger at this point?" It was survival of the fittest. With Andrew's current combat ability and status, he really did not need to be cautious or walk on eggshells anymore. These days, he would strike first and talk later. When it came to trouble, he would handle it first and deal with consequences later. As expected, Elijah was absolutely furious. Covering his face as he climbed up from the ground, he pointed at Andrew and roared, "Kill him!" The martial saint elder beside him had deeply sunken eyes, and he looked extremely sinister. As his aura surged, he was about to strike again. "Enough!" At the last moment, Maxwell, the man behind the Sky Garden, appeared. "Mr. Knowles, what is the meaning of this? Having your people fighting in my place? Are you trying to ruin my business?" He did not even bother ask
