Chapter 24

Author: Only For You
That night, two events caused ripples in Jayrodale's high society circles. First, Dylan, the crime lord of South City, had stumbled for the first time since solidifying his power. Second, Harvey had returned from abroad, ready to take control of the Weller family.

The Weller family was among the top three elite families in Jayrodale, far above second-tier families like the Fields. Harvey was even more renowned, once considered the leader of Jayrodale's Four Scions and the most prominent young heir in the city.

The next morning, Lauren called Andrew.

"Dr. Lloyd, I heard you ran into some trouble at the Jayrodale Grand Hotel yesterday. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask," she said, her voice filled with worry.

Andrew replied, "Thanks for your concern, Ms. Rhodes, but it's not a big deal."

Lauren laughed. "I should've known something like this wouldn't faze you, Dr. Lloyd. I was hoping I could help and have you owe me a favor."

Andrew smiled. "I doubt a favor f

  • Rising from the Ashes   Chapter 2670

    Andrew suddenly spoke up. "I do have a method that could guarantee you an undefeated position, Mr. Dawson." At those words, Milo froze. He could not help but look at Andrew with clear displeasure. Obviously, he could not understand why Andrew had not told him about this method beforehand. Koda, meanwhile, looked both surprised and uncertain as he asked, "What method? Please tell me. If you can really help me kill Mr. Easton, then forget the Bloodburst Pill, I'll give you even more valuable things afterward." His tone toward Andrew had unconsciously become much friendlier. From their earlier conversation, Koda had realized that Andrew was not brainless. On the contrary, he was extremely sharp, though his martial abilities seemed somewhat lacking. Andrew looked at Koda's eager expression, chuckled, and shook his head. "Right now, the timing isn't right. I can only say that if we join forces, it'll only benefit you with no drawbacks. But if you want to kill Mr. Easton through mart

    Koda's expression instantly darkened. "I already knew the Owens family came with overwhelming force and wouldn't be easy to deal with, but I never expected that the pathetic Mr. Owens Senior would be so formidable. It's also shocking that Mikayla has the same combat power as me." Milo seized the opportunity and scoffed. "So now you understand how much it benefits you that I came. If it weren't for me taking pity on you, you probably wouldn't even realize how Mr. Easton plans to play you to death." Koda snorted. "Fine, I'll choose to believe what you're saying for now, but I know Mr. Easton's martial abilities. Although we're both high-level martial saints, when it comes to actual combat, he's absolutely no match for me. He's old and well past his prime, while I'm in my element. With my greatsword, Savage Dragon, I can definitely take his life within three exchanges." He continued, "The main thing is, Corbin has hidden tricks, but I'm no brainless brute either. Do you think I have

    Andrew smiled. "Talking with smart people is always a relief. It's simple because right now, your forces are clearly at a disadvantage compared to Mr. Easton's. Having Mr. Avila assist you and jointly fight against him is the best strategy. It's the best move for both of you and us." Koda nodded while letting out a cold laugh. "That makes sense, but why should I believe Milo has the strength and qualifications to help? And how do I know you people aren't just using Milo?" Andrew had already anticipated that Koda, being as paranoid as he was, would naturally dig deep and would not trust anyone easily. He smiled and said, "You might not know this, but the Lloyd royal family and the Owens family don't get along. Fundamentally, the Lloyd royal family and Mr. Vasquez behind the Owens family are like fire and water. As a member of the Lloyd family, I came here because of the Owens family." He continued, "What the Owens family wants is the entire Advanced Medical Institute, and Mr. Ea

    Koda was taken aback. Then, his expression turned strange. "So he's your son, Mr. Thornton?" He chuckled awkwardly and added, "Looks like I misjudged earlier. I never expected a man of your reputation to have a son who is so… well, unique. Come on in, all of you." Only then were the group allowed to step into Koda's territory. Andrew scanned the area and realized Koda had taken over a mountain ridge surrounded by cliffs on three sides. It was not large, but it was absolutely a strategic stronghold. If Corbin tried to attack head-on, he would not have an easy time. Koda had three martial saints under his command. Each one looked at Andrew's group with cold, indifferent eyes, barely acknowledging their presence. Koda made no move to have his people greet Andrew and the others either. He simply gestured casually for them to sit down. Meanwhile, he took the main seat on the cushion. Then, he reached over and grabbed some grilled meat nearby, stuffing it into his mouth. It wa

    Seeing how Koda was acting, Milo snapped, "Koda, what's the meaning of this? Mr. Lloyd is with me. Who are you to block him?" Koda smirked. "So what if he's with you? Don't forget that you're the one who came looking for me, so you'll follow my rules. How do I know he's not a spy sent by Corbin, and you're just too old and senile to notice?" Milo's face flushed red with fury. "Koda!" Andrew spoke up with a smile. "Mr. Avila, there's no need to get upset. It's perfectly reasonable for him to be cautious. Clearly, he's been burned by this kind of thing before." Koda snorted coldly with disdain. "That bastard Corbin, egged on by the Owens family head, loves playing dirty tricks. But in my eyes, those are just games that clowns play. Mr. Lloyd, don't take it personally, but there are just too many outside forces targeting the Advanced Medical Institute right now." Andrew thought to himself that Koda was absolutely right. He was indeed someone who planned to take advantage of the

    Jerome frowned. "If we just show up like this, won't it start a fight?" Milo sneered. "Don't worry. As long as I'm willing to humble myself just a little before Koda, that arrogant young man will get so full of himself he'll forget where he stands. Little does he know, he's just a stepping stone for me to become the Director." Andrew smiled. "I have no problem with that. Just give the order, and I'll be the first to charge forward." Milo appreciated that and said, "Mr. Lloyd, I'll say it again. Once things work out for me, Quinn will be your perfect wife." Andrew immediately waved it off and said, "Let's not do that. Ms. Avila is beautiful, capable, and refined, so you should keep her and marry her off to someone else with real potential." Milo choked on that answer, and he instantly realized Andrew was disgusted by his daughter's behavior. Just thinking about Quinn's revolting actions made Milo's expression darken again. Once everything had settled down, he would have to f
