Andrew’s eyes burned with rage as he glared at the assassin, who was now bound securely to a sturdy chair in the dimly lit basement. “Where is Hannah?” he demanded, his voice a low growl.The assassin, still groggy from the cold water Andrew had thrown on him, met Andrew’s gaze with a defiant sneer. “I told you, I don’t know,” he spat, though his bravado was starting to wane.Andrew's patience was wearing thin. He picked up a pair of pliers from a nearby table, holding them up so the assassin could see. “You will talk,” he said with chilling calmness, “or you will suffer.”The next hour was filled with the sounds of muffled screams and the sharp crack of bones. Despite the pain, the assassin maintained his silence.

Andrew was furious, and he was determined to show Everest that he was not some kind of pushover. "They think they can kill me? I'll show them they can't mess with fire." Andrew was extremely furious as he grabbed the assassin by the neck and snapped it. Never had Andrew imagined he could be so cold-blooded. But due to the challenges of life, he was no longer the easy target he used to be. Now that he had enough power, he was determined to use it wisely. That didn't mean he would use his power for evil.A few moments later, Andrew had cleaned up his garage and disposed of the body. He wasn't afraid of the aftermath of what he had done because the officials were already very corrupt, and the assassin he killed was already a wanted criminal. He was already a walking dead man, his name sounding like a ghost.**********Andrew was now parked in front of The Everest mansion in his car.

He knew it wouldn't necessarily keep them at bay, but he found amusement in seeing the looks on the faces of the Everest family. Upon arriving home, Andrew immediately headed for the shower to cleanse himself of the bloodstains acquired during the commotion at the Everest Mansion. ********* Two weeks later...

Could he be from the Everest Empire? But I have never heard of him."

She couldn't fathom how the person she had perceived as poor and shy person just a month ago, had transformed into a handsome, confident, and dominant young man.
