Chantelle let out a cold laugh. "That's right. That's exactly what he did. Mr. McCormick, don't you think the man's out of his mind?"

Derek narrowed his eyes but stayed silent. After a long pause, he finally exhaled and said, "No. On the contrary, I think you're completely wrong about him. I don't see Andrew as a lunatic—I think he's playing a long, dangerous game."

Chantelle had not expected Derek to say something like that, and her expression turned tense. "Mr. McCormick, without the protection of The Sovereign Residences, do you even realize what kind of storm that madman has invited upon himself?

"Two of the most powerful families in Holtrien have issued bounty kill orders at the same time. The combined reward is nearly a billion—enough to send every killer and martial artist across Gabo Creek Province, maybe even the entire country, into a blood-fueled frenzy!"

Derek gave a faint sneer, his tone laced with disdain. "It's true—money can make even the dead dance. The old sayi

    "Captain, I don't think I've got much of a shot going up against Joseph," Zachary said, his expression darkening. The thing he feared most had finally happened. It was not that he lacked confidence; he just had a realistic understanding of his own limits. Moreover, Joseph came from one of Goldridge's elite families, with superior talent and unmatched resources. On the other hand, Zachary came from a military combat background. He was always direct: if he could win, he would say so. If he could not, he admitted it. No ego, no excuses. Andrew nodded, his face as calm as ever. "Joseph wins in explosive power. You saw his build. He was just like Henry. He's built for external strength. But Joseph's strength is nowhere near Henry's level. He's not unbeatable." He continued, "Zachary, do you still remember the combat principles I drilled into you back then? How should you fight when you're up against someone with raw strength?" Zachary's eyes gradually steadied. "Simple. Tank the

    Alex hissed, "And you too. Zachary Fischer, right? This is only the first round of the examination, and the road ahead won't be smooth!" The threat in his words was loud and clear. Zachary snapped, "Mr. Wallace, I've done nothing wrong from the very beginning! On the contrary, I was ambushed by Terry and got hurt. And still, I didn't complain about any of it!" Alex let out a mocking laugh. "Getting ambushed and injured? That's your problem, not mine. Your idiot friend just blocked my payday and ruined my plans! Zachary, you're just a nobody, an outer disciple. I'm telling you now: you're in trouble. And not just any trouble, big trouble!" With that, he scoffed, clasped his hands behind his back, and strutted away. Zachary's face was grim. "I can't believe a snake like that is hiding right under Mr. Thornton's nose." Andrew stayed calm. "Relax. You passed the first round. Now all you need to do is clear the final trial, and you're practically in." Zachary still looked une

    Andrew held up his phone with a smirk. "Why should I delete it? You two are in cahoots here, and if this gets out, I'm sure plenty of people would love to watch the show!" He added, "Especially you, Mr. Wallace. You're supposed to be one of Mr. Thornton's trusted men, yet here you are, taking bribes without shame. With how much he values justice and fairness, I doubt he'd let this slide, at least not without consequences." Alex's expression changed again and again, until his face turned as dark as a storm cloud. This was not his first time doing such things. However, others who knew either kept quiet out of fear or respect for his position. Yet, this random punk not only recorded everything, but he even threatened to report him. Alex felt like he had swallowed week-old garbage, sick to his stomach and furious. Calvin gave a sharp, cold warning. "Andrew, you'd better delete that video and act like nothing ever happened. This is the Southern Martial Union's main hall, and Mr. W

    Calvin nearly cracked his teeth from clenching so hard. "500 million. The Peck family is willing to offer 500 million to secure Terry's advancement. Does that work for you?" The wrinkles on Alex's face slowly smoothed out, one by one. He chuckled and said, "Mr. Peck Senior, come on now. Why bring up money between us? We've known each other for years. Talking about money only hurts the relationship. Alright then, I'll see what I can do for Terry." He continued, "Now, I can't guarantee he'll get into the inner circle for sure, but let's just say the odds are looking a lot better." Calvin finally let out a long breath of relief and shot Zachary a sinister grin. "What the hell do you have to compete with me, Zachary? This isn't over. Just wait for the Peck family's revenge." Terry staggered to his feet, hatred in his eyes. "Dad, I'm not just getting into Mr. Thornton's inner circle; I want you to find a way to kill that bastard. I want him begging for death, suffering like hell!"

    That dumbass Calvin had already been let off the hook once. But this time, Andrew had no intention of showing mercy again. To him, it made no difference whether Calvin died in Blumedale back in Gabo Creek or right here in Goldridge. Calvin's face twisted with rage. He had not expected Andrew to provoke him so openly. Yet, before he could say another word, a sharp scream rang out in the center of the hall. Startled, he whipped his head around and shouted, "Terry, what happened to you?" Terry, who had been locked in a fierce fight with Zachary, took a hard kick to the chest and stumbled backward. He landed flat on his butt, his face pale as a sheet. Zachary pulled back and shook his head. "Terry, you're no match for me. Just step down. I'm holding back out of respect for the Peck family. I don't want to go too far." Terry clutched his chest with a twisted expression. "You bastard, I just wasn't paying attention earlier! Come at me again! This time, I'm gonna kill you! You think

    Zachary furrowed his brows, clearly frustrated. He did not want to choose Terry as his opponent since they were both from Gabo Creek province, and whoever lost would be a real loss for their side. Down below, Calvin was stunned at first. Then, he sneered coldly and said, "Zachary, tough luck going up against Terry. You're screwed." Zachary spoke steadily, "Mr. Peck Senior, I have no desire to hurt Terry. Do you think there's still room for negotiation between us?" Calvin let out a mocking snort. "Negotiate my ass! Mr. Thornton himself arranged this match-up. I can't do anything about it, and frankly, Terry doesn't know how to hold back anyway. If something happens to you, well, bad luck. Don't go blaming anyone." Zachary's face darkened. He thought Calvin was seriously full of himself. He had only given a kind warning because he was afraid of crippling Terry, but judging by the other party's attitude, he was sitting pretty and even mocking him. "Hey, are we fighting or not?"
