Chapter 396

Penulis: Only For You
"Has West End lost all its pride?" Conan demanded.

Natasha waved her hand dismissively and gritted her teeth. "Everyone out—I can't blame anyone when I'm simply outmatched. I underestimated him, and even if you all attacked together, you'd just be throwing your lives away."

Conan and the other two men reluctantly withdrew, but this time, he remained stationed right outside the door. He wanted to be ready to rush in if Natasha needed help, though he knew they stood no chance against someone who could defeat her.

"I admit now that you surpass me in both combat skills and intelligence," Natasha said blankly. "You even have mysterious connections with Marvin and Mark. I can't beat you, Andrew, so do what you will with me."

For the first time, Natasha felt utterly defeated. She had never underestimated Andrew, but she had clearly misjudged him completely.

She had admired him and wanted him to work for West End, believing her status, charm, and fighting prowess would be enough to t

    Andrew gave Jovan one final smile. "See that? The goddess you worshipped was someone most people couldn't even be bothered to spare a second glance at. They just treated her like free labor."On the way down the mountain, Eric scoffed. "Why are you bothering to tell that kid all this? Do you really think everyone's like you, with all your romantic baggage? That kid's infatuated with Mikayla's beauty… You could at least let him keep a tiny fantasy."Andrew smirked. "Mikayla? Worth a fantasy? Not even close."Up ahead, Mikayla nearly stumbled again under the massive pile of luggage on her back. The bags weighed a few hundred pounds, and the rocky trail made her trip over and over.Throughout her life, she had never faced such hardship or endured such humiliation.Eric laughed. "But seriously, Jovan really lucked out. You basically handed him an incredible opportunity on a silver platter."Andrew replied, "Whether it's good fortune or not is hard to say. I can only say I'm giving hi

    Andrew shook his head. "Jovan, I don't need you bowing down to me or paying tribute. What we have is more like a partnership, a win-win situation. The Advanced Medical Institute belongs to you, the elders, and the rest of the apprentices. After I leave, you'll be free to do whatever you want."He continued, "I hope you'll work hard to build up the Advanced Medical Institute. In the future, you'll become a regional powerhouse yourself."A flicker of confusion crossed Jovan's face. He had not expected Andrew to be so generous.To him, the next leader should be someone like Koda or Lorenzo. Andrew did not expect Jovan to believe him right away. Looking at the other elders, he said flatly, "I hope all of you will support Jovan well. The reason I'm backing him is simple."He has a kind nature, and he's a promising talent worth cultivating. So, elders, you need to seize this opportunity. If another Koda or Corbin emerges, it'll be a disaster for both you and the Advanced Medical Instit

    There was a soft, muffled buzzing sound.It came from Andrew as he suddenly lifted his hand high. Then, a dense burst of energy gathered in his palm and shot outward like a solid force.Koda's heavy sword strike stopped dead in the air, unable to move even an inch closer.Andrew blocked his full-force attack with just one hand, and the energy he forced outward hovered there, holding the blade midair.The sight was so unreal that Koda began trembling uncontrollably.Everyone behind him, including Rusty and the elders of the Advanced Medical Institute, stood frozen with wide eyes. Rusty instinctively gulped. "T-This is the strength of a martial emperor, isn't it? Could he actually be a martial emperor?"Up on the balcony, Mikayla was dumbfounded. She was certain Andrew did not possess a martial emperor's cultivation level. Yet, what he was doing right now was clearly a martial emperor's ability.How was this possible?Her heart immediately sank.Koda was as good as dead, but t

    Andrew did not even look up as he smiled and said, "They made it down the mountain safely, but it's still going to take most of the day to get back to Chetvine. Do you need something?"Koda stepped closer with that same easy smile. "I just came over to check on you, and to send you off properly. Honestly, I wouldn't have taken the director's seat if it weren't for you. If you hadn't given me that life-saving pill, I probably would've died under Corbin's hand."Andrew finally lifted his head and looked at him with a squinted smile. "I told you back then that I had a way for you to win in the end. Corbin had Lorenzo's help, and his power had skyrocketed… In a direct fight, you would've lost for sure."He continued, "So we turned the tables by using the life-saving pill to protect your vital organs, letting Corbin put you into a state of false death, which set the stage for a comeback."Koda laughed heartily. "You city folks sure know how to play games. Coming up with such a brilliant

    The next day, Koda came to Flying Peak, flaunting his new authority as director. Behind him, elite martial artists followed in his wake. Nearly all the elders from the Advanced Medical Institute had been ordered by him to come along.What was interesting was that Koda's greatsword, which Lorenzo had previously shattered, had been replaced with a new one that Rusty was carrying.Gone were the power struggles within the Advanced Medical Institute. Yet here Koda was, as the new director, bringing weapons with him, which was rather telling.He laughed and said, "Where's Mr. Lloyd? Last night we had a feast that went all night. He was the biggest hero, yet he's not here. I need to give him a few more drinks today."Koda smiled with apparent sincerity, as if his intentions were completely innocent.Eric replied flatly, "He's inside. If there's anything, you can tell me."Koda shook his head. "No can do. I need to speak with Mr. Lloyd and ask him if everything's going smoothly. He's tak

    Andrew looked down at her coldly. "I told you to kneel and call me daddy."Mikayla was furious. "Andrew, don't push it."Andrew sneered. "I'm pushing it? Mikayla, you clearly don't understand the situation you're in. Right now, all I have to do is abandon you, and your fate will be worse than death. Koda has so many hungry wolves under his command. How many of them do you think you can handle?"Mikayla's expression shifted repeatedly, and she said through gritted teeth, "Andrew, I'm the heiress of the Chetvine's Owens family, my father…"Andrew impatiently cut her off. "Idiot. You're still putting on an act when death is staring you in the face. Mikayla, I'm not the type to go easy on women, especially brainless, foolish women… I won't show any mercy."Then, he started counting, "Three, two… This is your last chance. Do what I say, or I'll have Koda take you away right now to reward his men."Mikayla's heart filled with humiliation, wishing she could tear Andrew apart. However, s
