Chapter 2691
Andrew immediately said, "It's just a guess, so it might not be accurate. I noticed the first day I arrived at the Advanced Medical Institute that Mikayla was already meeting Lennox in secret, and she was clearly using him. She just didn't say what she wanted yet." He added, "Come on, we're going to Bluewater Cliff right now, because there's a good chance they're plotting there again tonight." Eric nodded quickly. "Follow me. I know exactly where Bluewater Cliff is." A few minutes later, the two of them slipped silently through the moonlit forest and reached the deep valley behind the Advanced Medical Institute. A beautiful spring flowed from the mountains and rushed down steep slopes until it formed a fast-moving stream. Above the rushing waters, a natural stone arch bridge rose over a massive drop into a bottomless-looking gorge. This place was Bluewater Cliff. Andrew and Eric circled around to higher ground and looked down. Sure enough, they spotted two figures standing on

Mikayla nodded and took out a small packet of powder before handing it to Lennox. "Relax, it's just a sedative mix, nothing harmful. Once the Grand Elder takes it, he'll fall asleep for a short while, and during that time, my dad will take what he deserves and leave the Advanced Medical Institute." She continued, "When the Grand Elder wakes up, it'll just be you and me. By then, I'll already be his future daughter-in-law, so even if he's angry, he probably won't dare do anything to me." Lennox laughed loudly as he played with the packet, completely unconcerned. "I thought it was gonna be something huge. It turns out that all I need to do is put my dad to sleep so Mr. Owens Senior can make his move. That's way too easy! Leave it to me, I promise I'll handle it perfectly." Mikayla blinked innocently. "Lennox, why are you so good to me? Aren't you afraid the stuff I gave you might be poison?" Lennox froze for a second. Then, he scolded her gently. "What are you even saying? I trea

Corbin, who was usually calm and collected, suddenly laughed like a different man. "Koda, for the sake of us being from the same sect, I can at least leave you a full corpse today." Koda's face remained expressionless. "Grand Elder, the fight hasn't even started, and you're already dreaming. Don't worry, I won't even leave you a corpse." Corbin snorted. "All apprentices, fall back." Instantly, the lower-ranked apprentices cleared out of the courtyard outside the Grand Medicinal Hall, while the elders and elite disciples stood firm behind their own leaders, each side ready to pounce. Suddenly, two old men jumped forward, pointing at Andrew and cursing loudly. "It's you! Andrew, you brat! You're like a bad penny that keeps turning up! "Well, well! You sure hid it well, didn't you? So you're actually from Chetvine's Lloyd royal family!" Eric chuckled. "Do you know these two?" Andrew had been surprised at first, but when he looked closely at their sneaky eyes and matching

Lorenzo chuckled softly. "Well, we're still better off than you, Andrew, charging in overconfident and not knowing your place. Mr. Vazquez asked me to send his regards." Andrew laughed. "You think mentioning Mr. Vazquez's name is going to scare me? Mr. Owens Senior, you really underestimate me. Let me make it simple for you: the Owens family isn't getting anything out of this unless he shows up at the Institute himself to take charge. If he does that, I'll pack up and leave without another word." Lorenzo only smiled and said nothing else. Guillermo would never travel all the way here for something as trivial as the Institute, and Lorenzo didn't need him to. If he couldn't handle someone like Andrew, then he had no business being Guillermo's right-hand man. Koda's fighting style was vicious and overpowering. His heavy blade whistled through the air with every swing, each strike aimed to kill, and each move meant to crush. Corbin, however, moved sharply and swiftly, darting arou

Corbin's aura suddenly exploded outward. His clothes rippled as if hit by a shockwave, and a confident, forceful smile spread across his face. "Koda, your time is up. Die!" Instead of dodging the heavy blade swinging toward him, he threw a punch straight into it mid-air. With a loud pop, Koda's sword slammed into a massive shield of energy. Koda roared and pressed down with all his strength. The shield burst apart as the blast ripped through the air. However, Corbin was already leaping high into the air. He spun like a drill as he dropped down on Koda, attacking with all four limbs. Koda blocked again and again with his heavy blade until he finally slipped, his footing breaking under pressure. In that instant, Corbin kicked him square in the chest. He flipped once in midair and came down with both hands like crashing mountains, slamming Koda's chest again and again. Koda staggered back repeatedly until he had nowhere left to retreat. Corbin struck him so hard he was thrown

Corbin was already drunk on his own victory, completely forgetting himself. He strode into the Grand Medicinal Hall, marched straight to the director's gold-backed chair, and sat down without a hint of shame. Then, he swept his gaze across the room and shouted, "Now, show me your respect!" Lennox was the first to rush forward and kneel while shouting in delight, "Dad, congratulations on seizing the seat!" The remaining apprentices and subordinates all dropped to their knees as well, roaring in unison, "Congratulations, Mr. Corbin!" A few elders stood off to the side, looking abandoned and bitter. Among them were the two who had clashed with Andrew earlier. Corbin turned to them with a grin that did not reach his eyes and said, "Elders, are your knees stiff, or are you refusing to bow down to me? Or is it that you're harboring doubts and dissatisfaction?" The elders let out strained, miserable laughs before they each knelt in turn. Their chests were tight with bitterness an

With Koda killed, Flying Peak descended into complete chaos. Someone grumbled, "Since Koda's dead, what are we even doing staying at the Advanced Medical Institute? Let's just get the hell out of here." Another chimed in, "Exactly! If we don't leave now, we won't have the chance to leave alive. Once Corbin and the Owens family free up their hands, we're all dead." "Damn it! I never thought Corbin would be so strong that even Koda couldn't beat him." "Stop wasting time talking! Let's bounce!" "The rats desert a sinking ship." The saying could not be more accurate. Now that Koda was done for, they were ready to scatter immediately. Koda's corpse lay on Flying Peak. Andrew looked at Koda's lifeless body and said, "Gentlemen, now is not the time to leave. Whoever leaves, I'll be the first to make their head roll, and I won't even wait for Corbin to do it." The moment those words left his mouth, the entire hall on Flying Peak fell deathly silent. Then suddenly, a cocky

Rusty dropped to the ground. Following Eric's instructions exactly, he began crawling like a turtle. While crawling, he continued slapping his own face. Within moments, his entire face was beaten to a pulp, completely unrecognizable. This scene left everyone else utterly dumbstruck. Then immediately, they felt their blood run cold with terror. Someone gasped in horror, "Dark magic! It has to be! That guy is using dark magic!" "It's not dark magic, you idiot. That's the legendary Phantom Mirage; it can control people's minds and steal their consciousness." Another voice trembled with fear. "Terrifying. This is absolutely terrifying." Their once-defiant eyes were now filled with horror. Andrew caught their reactions and let a faint smirk flash across his lips. "So, does anyone still think my words don't matter?" An old man spoke in a grave tone. "Mr. Lloyd, are you saying you plan on keeping us here by force?" Andrew looked at him and countered with a question. "Forc

Corbin was delighted. "Alright, put it on. This is the director's token, and only someone like me is qualified to wear it." Even the way he addressed himself had changed. Lennox let out a cheeky laugh. "Dad, how does it feel to be the director?" Corbin flicked his hand in a dramatic flourish. "One word, amazing! Lennox, there's no need to rush. This position will be yours sooner or later." Lennox nodded obediently. "I'm not rushing. Why would I rush? It's just that Mr. Owens Senior and Mikayla really helped us out big time, so you can't shortchange them." Corbin let out a cold snort. "Lorenzo did help me a lot. I won't treat the Owens family unfairly. But his ambition and appetite are way too big. Before this, I couldn't say anything, because I still needed him. But now, I have to slow him down and let him know that I'm the one running Advanced Medical Institute, not him." Lennox thought, 'Mikayla's right. Dad is being extremely harsh toward Mr. Owens Senior. The Owens fam

Lennox's mind instantly went blank as terror exploded through him. "Dad!" he screamed, the sound sharp enough to shake the room. Corbin's face had gone completely pale, drained of all color. His mouth kept spurting out blood mixed with foam, and the violent coughing nearly choked him. Corbin gasped, "T-The water… It's poisoned! You bastard, h-how dare you do something so unforgivable?" He tried desperately to lift his hand to grab Lennox, but his fingers caught nothing. His arm fell limp to the floor, and his eyes shut. Just like that, he died without another sound. Lennox's mind buzzed. He grabbed Corbin's body and wailed, "Dad… Dad! How did this happen? It wasn't me… It really wasn't me!" His body suddenly jolted as he whispered, "Something's wrong with the drug… Did Mikayla mess it up? Yeah, she must've mixed it up by accident and made it poisonous." Yet, as he spoke, his voice grew hoarse. Lennox was stupid, but he was not delusional. There was no way the drug had
