Andrew shook his head and sighed. "Looks like in Chetvine, fists still do the talking! Otherwise, even the small fish at the bottom of the pond start thinking they're hot shit and can become real predators." Andrew threw a punch of his own, accompanied by what sounded like a dragon's roar. Gavin's fist was instantly shattered by Andrew's blow, with bone fragments and flesh exposed in a gruesome sight. Gavin screamed in agony as he clutched his completely destroyed arm and collapsed to the ground, writhing in pain. At the same time, Gavin was utterly horrified. He was at the peak of martial king level, one of the outstanding talents of the younger generation in the Schwartz family, and their rising star. Unlike Dawson's reckless incompetence, Gavin was an exceptional prodigy who could compete with the heirs of major dynasties in Chetvine. Yet, with just a single punch, he was completely ruined. A voice roared in Gavin's mind that the spoiled brat Dawson had truly messed w

Andrew's expression chilled suddenly, and Carson clutched his stinging cheek, furious but afraid to speak. He had nearly bitten his own molars to pieces. No matter what, he was still the head of his family, and the Schwartz family had their pride to maintain. Yet, Andrew had struck him without hesitation. This was plainly an act of trampling the Schwartz family's dignity into the dirt. He thought bitterly, 'I'll remember this!' His heart burned with hatred. It turned out Andrew had not been afraid at all. From the very beginning, he had no intention of showing the Schwartz family any respect. If that were the case, then the Schwartz family would not let this slide either. Ten years ago, Andrew was the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince, famous throughout Chetvine. However, he believed that Andrew's era was long over, and he was nothing now. Andrew said coldly, "Like I said before, pay for my car plus emotional damages and lost wages. Make it quick. If the Schwartz family can't c

On the second day in Chetvine, they bought the basics and picked up a used commuter car. Andrew felt like he'd scored a lot, and besides, he had made a tidy profit. Natasha stared at the new hundred million and felt her head buzz. She asked, "Darling, where did this money come from?" Andrew said bluntly, "Some idiot rear-ended my car and then paid me off. That's how." Natasha could not believe it. "He rear-ended your used car and paid 100 million? Was he an idiot? Rich and stupid too?" Andrew chuckled. "Exactly. Rich and stupid." Natasha looked at him suspiciously. "You're laughing in a really scary way. You didn't extort them, did you?" Andrew's eyes widened in mock offense. "Do you think your man is the kind of person who does bad things like that?" Natasha giggled. "You are, through and through." Andrew clicked off the light with a snap. "Time for bed." Natasha quickly stripped off her outer clothes and pants. Then, she slipped naked under the covers and snuggled

Andrew looked up and saw Mikayla, the celebrated beauty of Chetvine. Thanks to her talent and ambition, the Owens family had clawed their way from an ordinary household into the ranks of high society. Over the past ten years, this woman had risen at a staggering pace. "It's me," Andrew said with a calm nod before sitting down. Mikayla frowned. "This place is supposedly only for fifth-grade alchemists and above, isn't it?" She did not spell it out, but her meaning was clear: Andrew had no business being on this floor. Andrew replied evenly, "I came to see Madam Baxter, and someone brought me here." Mikayla shook her head. "Then you're dreaming. In Chetvine, fewer than ten people have the privilege of meeting Madam Baxter face-to-face. If you got this far, you must have forced the staff by throwing around the Lloyd family's name." "I think that's a stupid move. Offending the Sovereign's Apothecary comes with consequences you should know well. If I were you, I wouldn't be r

After leaving Brielle's garden, Amari's expression turned serious as he asked, "Andrew, what exactly do you need those three terrifying items for? "From what I know, Century-old Vampire Fangs, Tears of the Violet, and Blackstar Crystal aren't things Sovereign's Apothecary can produce. You should also know how dangerous and volatile they are. Most people would drop dead the instant they touched them." Andrew walked toward the exit of Sovereign's Apothecary and said calmly, "There's no need to hide from you what I plan to do with them. My energy core has been sealed, and I've reached the final layer of the seal. Any method I know of would have little effect, so I can only take desperate measures and try extreme methods." Amari's face changed dramatically. "You want to use these three rare toxins mixed together to force through your energy core seal? No way! I absolutely won't agree to this. Andrew, you're being too reckless! "We can slowly figure out a way to deal with your ener
