Author: Only For You
Aaron took a deep breath, his face full of resentment. "Well, since you've already made up your mind, why bother asking for my opinion? Just let me know the time and place. Meeting you has been nothing but bad luck!"

Andrew nodded with satisfaction. "Don't worry, I won't shortchange you. Taking down Marcelo will only benefit you. No downside to that at all."

…

Later, Andrew brought Rachel along as they made the rounds to a few other families.

"Don't even think about it, Andrew! We're not your lackeys and won't do your dirty work!"

"Seriously, you think you can give orders to us? Who the hell do you think you are? Andrew, you're nothing but a joke!"

"Get lost! You're not worthy of ordering us around, and you sure as hell don't deserve our cooperation."

Despite facing one harsh rejection after another, Andrew maintained his cheerful smile. Then, he dropped his bombshell.

"I think it's necessary to remind everyone that Mrs. Peck, the matriarch of the Peck family, is my dea

    Henry was convinced and narrowed his eyes. "Go on. How do you plan to use poison?" Scarlett flipped her mink coat, revealing her ample chest, and smiled. "I've slept with that little brat Joseph from the Yeagers twice already. This kid's really pathetic in the Yeagers. He's over 20 but clearly hasn't had much experience with women. He submitted to my charms in no time!" She added, "Now, when I say east, he goes east. When I say west, he doesn't dare head any other way." Henry frowned. "Your looks are… average. You really think Joseph fell for that?" Scarlett's smile froze as her tone turned sharp. "Sure, my face isn't much, but I have a great body! My martial arts skills are impressive enough to command respect, and Joseph is just a naive kid. Sleeping with me gives his ego a huge boost! "What good are pretty faces? What really satisfies men are women who wield power and strength, and I happen to be exactly that type. I have both power and influence!" Henry nodded in agre

    Eric replied coldly, "I don't believe it, but I'm not jealous either! Phantom Mirage has slow cultivation progress. That's a common trait of Heavenly-tier martial arts technique! Even though I'm only at the peak of martial king right now, Andrew is still completely under my control!" Henry nodded. "That's true." Andrew secretly rolled his eyes. Eric was putting on quite the act. Just wait, he would soon learn what scorching heat really felt like. Henry reminded him, "There's one problem, though… This kid's behavior is still somewhat erratic, and he can't tell right from wrong! You need to hurry up and hypnotize him again. I want to train him into a killing machine that follows orders without question!" Eric grunted in acknowledgment, turned to face Andrew, and activated his mystical technique once more! Andrew sneered inwardly at the sight of Eric sweating profusely with a pale face, looking quite miserable. Once Inferno Strike was activated, the Flame Surge flowed from his

    The moment Henry gave the retreat order, Alex and the others fled like prisoners granted a last-minute pardon. Andrew had already been itching to leave, so he fought Adam while slowly falling back with him. "You sons of bitches came storming in here, and now you want to walk out like nothing happened? Not a chance!" Adam roared, completely fired up. He went all-in, refusing to let Andrew slip away. However, Andrew did not hold back either, blasting him over and over with Inferno Strike. Each time their palms collided, Adam felt like his hands had been seared by red-hot irons. "Damn! What the hell kind of technique is this?" he hissed through clenched teeth. After a few more hits, he glanced at his hands and froze. They looked like overboiled meat, red and steaming. "What on earth…" In an instant, Adam became wary. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Andrew stomped the ground and slid backward dozens of meters, instantly catching up to Alex. Then, he grabbed Alex by th

    Adam's expression was grim as he nodded. Then, he turned to Andrew and said, "You punk, that palm strike of yours was ferocious! Come on then, let's go another round." He shifted his stance, fists blazing as he launched a flurry of phantom strikes straight toward Andrew. Matthew snarled, "You little bastard, that's one of the Yeagers' two founding elders! He's a full-fledged martial saint. Killing you will be effortless!" Andrew remained expressionless as he clashed head-on with Adam. This was exactly what he needed: a powerful opponent to test out Inferno Strike. He wanted to see just how brutal the Heavenly-tier martial arts technique was. As the two went blow for blow, Andrew fully committed to the fight, matching Adam with every strike. Meanwhile, Alex and the others were being systematically suppressed by the Yeager guards, unable to gain any advantage whatsoever. Henry frowned deeply. Unlike the Cantrells, the Yeagers were a whole different beast. With a grunt, he pre

    The Yeagers' front gate flew a dozen meters through the air with a single kick, crashing to the ground as the entire compound was thrown into chaos. Led by Matthew, over a hundred Yeager family members poured out in full force. Holding back his rage, he growled, "Mr. Fischer, so you really showed up with your people! While you might be able to make other families and gangs submit, we are not spineless like them!" Henry crossed his arms and leaned against the car hood, "Whether the Yeagers are spineless or not doesn't matter. What matters is whether the Yeagers know their place and understand how to go with the flow!" Matthew pointed at him and shouted, "Who the hell do you think you are? What gives you the right to show up here and throw your weight around? The Yeagers have stood strong in Goldridge for over a century. "Since when do guys like you get to come here and act tough? When Mr. Thornton was still in charge, he treated us with respect! But now that you power-hungry

    That was the beauty of advanced martial arts. The more one trained, the more energized and focused they would become. Of course, if they lost control, it could backfire fast, leaving their mind agitated and eventually going completely mad. Henry was dressed in workout clothes and got up even earlier than office workers. By 5 a.m., he was already practicing his breathing techniques and combat drills in the villa courtyard. At 6 a.m. sharp, he sat down for breakfast. By 6.30 a.m., he grabbed Andrew by the shoulder and dragged him out the door. The man might have been a feared figure across Goldridge now, but essentially, he was just another poor soul trapped in the grind of endless work. Andrew silently mourned for him… for a brief second. "Today, I'm putting you to the test! You'll follow my commands, no questions!" Henry barked at Andrew. Andrew's face stayed blank, like a lifeless puppet. Henry ordered, "Get in the car!" Andrew obediently climbed into the vehicle. Th
