Andrew said bluntly, "Corbin killed Mr. Avila. Right now, Mr. Thornton and I can only come to you, Koda. But if you don't welcome us, then we'll just go to Corbin instead. Since we don't have many options, we'll go wherever that welcomes us." Koda froze in shock, but he quickly exclaimed excitedly, "Milo is dead? Gentlemen, welcome! My strength may be limited, but if you help me secure the director's seat, then the reward afterward will be yours for the choosing." Jerome chuckled. "There isn't anything I want. I'll follow Mr. Lloyd's lead." Koda instantly shifted his gaze to Andrew, feeling a chill run down his spine as he realized that even Jerome, the former leader of the Southern Martial Union, listened to this man. Moreover, with that Lloyd family's mysterious martial emperor expert lurking somewhere, Andrew's hidden power was truly formidable. Fortunately, he had not offended Andrew. Hence, he felt that currently, all the advantages were tilting in his favor. Andrew sm

"Quinn, what are you doing?" Koda asked. He already knew Milo was dead, and a mocking smirk flashed across his lips. He said flatly, "Get up first, and we can talk about this slowly." Quinn wiped away her tears and rose to her feet from her kneeling position. Looking at Koda, she broke into sobs again. "My f-father was killed by that heartless father-son duo, Corbin and Lennox." She wailed and added, "Koda, you're the only person I can turn to now. You have to avenge me!" Koda replied, "Don't worry. Once I destroy Corbin and his people and take the director's position, I'll consider that your revenge." Quinn cried out, "No, Koda, I need you to help me kill Corbin and Lennox right now! For that, I'm willing to give myself to you, along with all the inheritance my father left behind! I can give it all to you." After speaking, she looked at Koda with teary eyes while deliberately pulling her neckline open a bit. Koda's face filled with disgust. "Quinn, I don't need to spell

Andrew's expression was indifferent. "Quinn, you seem to have forgotten that your father's death was entirely because of you. You were the one who wrote that letter to him, luring him to meet with Corbin. As a result, Milo, not being very bright, went without a second thought." He continued, "Actually, I did warn him at the time. But as the saying goes, good advice can't save someone determined to die. With a brain-dead daughter like you helping them along, it would've been truly bizarre if your father hadn't died." Quinn's chest heaved as rage consumed her. "A-Andrew, I'll kill you!" Screaming, she lunged forward to claw at Andrew's face. Suddenly, a muffled thud rang out as a heavy sword pierced straight through from her back to her chest. The wide blade even tore open her chest and abdomen. Quinn finally spewed out a thick stream of blood. She glanced down at the sword tip protruding from her chest before dying with her eyes still open. Accompanied by a merciless snort,

Mikayla's expression grew grim as well. "Dad, you're worried about Andrew interfering, aren't you?" Lorenzo nodded slowly. "Yes, if this guy hadn't shown up, I could easily devour the Advanced Medical Institute without even lifting a finger. I could take the whole thing without breaking a sweat. But he just won't leave us alone. He actually showed up here. Without a doubt, he must be scheming something. So I need to be fully prepared." Mikayla growled, "Dad, I can hold off Jerome. And you can take out Andrew directly. Not many people in Chetvine know your true strength. With Mr. Vazquez covering for you, it'll have an unexpected advantage; we can definitely make Andrew suffer badly, if not kill him outright." Lorenzo shook his head. "Unless absolutely necessary, don't engage him directly. Currently, our top priority is to achieve promotion to noble house status for the Owens family. As for everything else, we shouldn't make unnecessary, powerful enemies." Mikayla huffed indigna

Mikayla said, "Grand Elder, Dad, I'll step out now." With that, she exited the chamber. Lennox was waiting outside and eagerly rushed toward her. "Mikayla, I've missed you so much! Come on, give me a kiss!" Mikayla turned her head away, barely concealing the disgust in her eyes. "Lennox, we're right at the moment where everything is on the line. I don't think you should be focused on these things right now." Lennox was deeply disappointed and could not help grumbling, "Mikayla, why is it that every time I try to touch you, you pull away? Are you just pretending to like me?" Mikayla sneered inwardly, thinking that he was not completely stupid after all. However, she said, "Lennox, you know how I feel about you, don't you? If you don't, then forget it." Lennox quickly forced a smile and apologized. "Mikayla, I was just joking. Don't take it seriously. Mr. Owens Senior is helping my father boost his strength right now, right? It's truly unbelievable that he has such abilitie

Koda was drinking happily when he glanced over and laughed. "Oh, it's you, Jovan. What's up? If it's nothing serious, grab a seat and have a drink with us." Jovan Maddock kept his head lowered, his voice barely above a whisper. "Koda, I don't drink, but you guys go ahead. I just wanted to ask… about Mr. Livingston's funeral. What are we doing about it? Could you maybe postpone your match with the Grand Elder and hold Master's funeral first? Would that be okay?" The smile on Koda's face slowly faded. What replaced it was a look of pure malice as he sneered. "Jovan, what did you just say? Say that again?" Jovan stammered nervously. "Koda, I was saying… about Mr. Livingston's funeral, could you…" Before he could finish, Koda's hand shot out and slapped Jovan viciously across the face. In an instant, Jovan was sent flying and crashed into the center of the banquet hall, blood trickling from his mouth as half his face swelled up grotesquely. Every eye in the room turned toward

Andrew chuckled. "He is pretty interesting. He's actually the only normal person we've run into since entering the Advanced Medical Institute." Eric replied dismissively, "Even so, all I can say is he's asking for death. Sometimes, keeping your head down is necessary. Unfortunately, this kid's too naive. When you're surrounded by wolves but show you're a sheep, that in itself is a crime." Andrew replied flatly. "You're right. Being weak is a crime in itself. But not everyone can always maintain a position of strength. Everyone has moments when they're vulnerable and helpless." Eric responded with cold indifference. "So what? Being weak, getting toyed with, getting killed; that's just the natural order of things. Being weak and stubborn, unable to read the situation, looking for death… People like that only get what they deserve." Andrew did not argue with him because Eric clearly had his own inner demons. Perhaps once upon a time, Eric had faced the same situation as Jovan.

Faced with such an intimidating display, Andrew remained completely unfazed and even smiled. "Koda, he's just a kid. Why do you need to push him to the edge? Jovan, right? Get lost. Don't get in the way of us partying." As he spoke, Andrew shot a glare at the already shell-shocked Jovan. The latter jolted as if he had been shocked and quickly retreated. He was as pale as a sheet. Koda continued to stare at Andrew, his gaze still ice-cold. No one else in the hall said a word, and the atmosphere grew heavy with tension. Eric slowly straightened up with a cold grin. If these men rushed Andrew now, that would almost be convenient for him. He could just slaughter the whole place and then pay a visit to Corbin and the Owens family tomorrow, wiping them out too. That was his style: kill first, skip the talking. Might as well slaughter them all. Then tomorrow, they could kill Corbin and the Owens family, too. Koda suddenly chuckled. "Your strike was pretty impressive." Then, he d

Jovan froze again, and only after a long while did he finally speak. "I'm Mr. Livingston's youngest apprentice. After he died, the Advanced Medical Institute was thrown into chaos. Mr. Easton and Koda both want the director's position." He continued, "So they've brought in a lot of outside help for support. And Mr. Lloyd, aren't you one of the people backing Koda? Plus, the Owens family from Chetvine… I know about all of you." Andrew smiled. "So you must really hate us outsiders, don't you?" Jovan quickly shook his head. "No, I don't hate you. I only hate myself for being weak. Just like you said, Mr. Lloyd, I'm not a real man yet, but I went looking for death anyway. If it weren't for you, Mr. Lloyd, I'd probably share the same fate as Mr. Livingston right now." Andrew asked, "Jovan, do you miss Mr. Livingston very much?" Jovan seemed to be taken aback by the question. Then, he scratched his head with an awkward laugh. "Miss him? I wouldn't say that exactly. Mr. Livingston

Andrew smiled. "Now that's the honest truth. Looks like Jovan is someone who knows how to hold back and isn't just some clueless hothead who doesn't understand anything." Eric grinned with malicious amusement. "Let me dig a little deeper into his innermost secrets. Jovan, tell me the thing you've buried deepest in your heart." This time, Jovan fell silent, or rather, he paused for a long while. Andrew looked puzzled. "Eric, don't tell me your Phantom Mirage is just this weak?" Eric cursed furiously. "Screw off! With my current level, this technique can even trap high-level martial saints." He focused back on Jovan and ordered, "Jovan, tell me your biggest secret right now." This time, Jovan spoke. "I-I like Ms. Owens. From the day she and her father came to the Advanced Medical Institute, I fell for her. I've never seen such a beautiful woman in my life. She was like an angel, handing out cool stuff from the city to each and every apprentice. When she gave me something, my
