Irene spat, "With Mr. Wright backing our Christie, she's going to be way more powerful than you! She'll crush you under her feet—just wait and see!" With that, the three members of the Stevens family scurried away, tails between their legs. Francesca, still fuming, crossed her arms. "What is wrong with these people? Christina is getting more twisted by the day! That Quinton guy is ambitious as hell. The moment he set foot in Jayrodale, he tried to snatch the Titan Essence Pill and the Vitality Pill by force! "And yet, Christina actually trusts him? Quinton is going to be even worse than Harvey—he'll devour her whole!" Andrew shrugged. "That's her problem, not mine. You can't wake someone up if they're determined to keep pretending they're in a dream." Francesca's eyes flickered with thought. "Andrew, Quinton isn't just some random guy. Maybe you should at least try to warn Christina, considering… you two had that kind of history?" Andrew shook his head. "It's pointless tryi

A flicker of resistance flashed across Nyla's face, but it quickly faded. She obediently handed over her freshly earned paycheck to Camilla, who grinned as she began counting. Once she finished, her eyes lit up with delight. "100 grand? Nyla, does Moonlit Apothecary really pay you this much?" Nyla lowered her voice. "Dr. Lloyd gave it to me. He's a really kind person… he takes good care of me." Camilla turned to Andrew, eyeing him with uncertainty. Before stepping inside, she had spoken poorly of Moonlit Apothecary, though it had only been out of jealousy. In reality, Moonlit Apothecary was one of the most well-known establishments in Jayrodale, with a miracle doctor treating patients. Wealthy and powerful families flocked here in droves. Camilla's expression quickly shifted as she put on a flattering smile. "You must be the owner of Moonlit Apothecary. Nyla works under you, so feel free to use her however you see fit—hard labor, long hours, whatever." She chuckled, her voi

"I've always handed over my paycheck. I'm used to it," Nyla murmured. Andrew gave Francesca a small smile. "Fran, let's drop it for now. This is between Nyla and her stepmother—we shouldn't interfere too much." Camilla smirked. "At least Dr. Lloyd knows how to behave. Well then, I'll be heading out." She stood up and, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, ordered, "Nyla, help me to the car." Then, in a warning tone, she added, "I'll be back this time next month, so don't even think about hiding your paycheck. If you don't have the full amount ready, don't bother trying to step foot in the Goth family's house." Nyla quickly nodded. "I understand, Madam. Don't worry—I'll give you everything." Camilla nodded in satisfaction, putting on a fake, affectionate smile. "That's a good girl. At least my efforts in raising you haven't been in vain. You know how busy your father is, and I'm the only one managing the household. Even in my rare moments of rest, I still have t

The massive conference room was buzzing with activity. Quinton sat back with one leg crossed over the other, his polished branded loafers casually propped up on the large round table. He looked completely at ease, though it was clear he was putting on a show. People continued arriving for his so-called roundtable meeting, including some of the most influential figures in Jayrodale. Among them were Natasha, Dylan, and Harvey—the head of the Weller family—as well as representatives from Madblade Martial Academy and the Goth family. Shawn, ever the suckup, leaned forward with a flattering grin. "Mr. Wright, your influence is truly unmatched. Look around—everyone who holds real power in Jayrodale, from the high society elites to the underground forces, has shown up just for you!" Quinton did not respond, but the smirk on his lips grew even more noticeable. Sitting beside him, apart from Shawn, was another notable figure—Christina. She had not spoken a word, but internally, she wa

Rodney let out a cold snort and said nothing more. Plenty of people around could not help but be shocked—Quinton was really something else. After all, Rodney was usually wild and arrogant, never caring about anyone, but Quinton shut him right down with just a few words. Now, that was what you called true dominance. Christina leaned toward Quinton and whispered gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Wright, for stepping in." Quinton flashed a charming smile and replied, "It's nothing. Since you've already decided to join me for the development project in Blumedale, you'll be under my care from now on. Naturally, I have to keep you well protected." His words were laced with an obvious flirtation, like a possessive man doting on his favorite girl. Christina did not say anything, but Quinton was secretly feeling very pleased with himself. He believed a true master never showed all his cards and had no doubt he would win Christina over eventually. There was no rush—when the time came,
Rising from the Ashes Chapter 962
The moment Quinton said that, several people in the room erupted in outrage. Dominic, the head of the Goth family, slammed his hand on the table and declared, "Mr. Wright, you're an honored guest from Blumedale, bringing billions to help revitalize Jayrodale! "We're beyond grateful you'd even consider investing here, and yet someone actually had the nerve to offend you? Mr. Wright, if you just say the word, the Goth family will be the first to deal with whoever that bastard is!" Harvey was not about to fall behind and quickly chimed in, "Mr. Wright, you're our meal ticket—our livelihood depends on you. Who the hell was blind enough to cross you? The Weller family would walk through fire for you, no hesitation!" Everyone else immediately jumped in, each one eager to win Quinton's favor. "Mr. Wright, just tell us—who was it? Which family or which group pissed you off? Whoever it was, we'll drag them out and make them get on their knees in front of you and beg for forgiveness!"

Quinton had painted himself as the poor victim, skillfully drawing out sympathy from the room. He had gone all in, dangling a massive investment as bait. He was convinced the power players of Jayrodale would be fired up, rally to his side, and join forces to crush Andrew completely. The more he thought about it, the more impressed he was with himself. After all, using others to do the dirty work and riding the wave of influence was downright masterful. Andrew thought he was untouchable, clinging to those two miracle medicines like a dragon hoarding treasure. However, once Quinton boxed him into a corner, left him begging for air, and drained every last drop of business out of him, he would see Andrew on his knees, pleading for mercy from the Wrights, just for a sip of water. The fantasy alone made Quinton grin smugly. He half-expected applause at that moment, maybe some shouting, some outrage, someone grabbing their team and storming off to Moonlit Apothecary to cause trouble.

Quinton exploded, slamming the table. "Is this the best the Weller family can do?" He sneered, "Mr. Weller, you're supposed to be young and capable, right? You landed the head position at such a young age, and this is all the guts you've got?" What angered Quinton the most was Harvey's next response. Harvey just nodded and admitted bluntly, "You're right, Mr. Wright. I really do lack guts and boldness." Now Quinton was seething with rage. He shouted, "I invited you all here out of goodwill, giving you the chance to get rich, and this is how you repay me?" His gaze swept across the room, his expression turning sharp and threatening. These guys were supposed to be the top dogs of Jayrodale. With this many major figures in the room, how was it possible that not even one of them had the spine to act? In Quinton's mind, Andrew was just the owner of a local apothecary. All it would take was a united public statement, and Moonlit Apothecary would be done for in Jayrodale. Then,

Jameson nodded in full agreement. "How is that over the line? Andy's speaking the truth! A man can be without money, without a name—but the one thing he can't be is impotent! Look at me! I'm still going strong all these years… isn't that why you fell for me?" Tiana's face flushed as she snapped, "Shut your damn mouth!" Elon's expression was no longer just sour—it was pitch black, storm-level fury written across his face. Kenny noticed things were going off the rails and shouted, "Elon, you'd rather believe some outsider than your own wife? Sherilyn has been nothing but loyal since marrying into your family—she's always by your side! "If she's pregnant, it has to be yours! What other explanation could there possibly be?" However, Elon did not answer. He did not even look at Kenny. Instead, he turned toward Sherilyn, his voice dropping low. "I'll ask just once. Is what Andrew said complete nonsense, or is there truth to it?" Sherilyn exploded. "Elon, are you seriously losin

Andrew let out a cold laugh. "Fatty, let's not pretend you know your body better than anyone. Back in Jayrodale, I could already tell. "You're overweight, constantly drenched in cold sweat, panting like you ran a mile after two steps. If I had to guess, I'd say you've got a rare form of obesity. One of those conditions where even drinking water makes you gain weight, right?" Elon's eyes flickered with panic. "How… how do you know that?" For a moment, the thought of ordering his men to strike completely vanished from his mind. Andrew replied calmly, "How I know is none of your business." "What I do want to tell you is this—your condition isn't just your average weight issue." "Your internal energy flow is completely imbalanced, your bodily systems are shot, and every ounce of nourishment you take in goes straight to your fat stores. And that means, when it comes to your sexual performance, your penis probably isn't just useless, it's starving. "In fact, if I'm right—and I

Wherever Elon's eyes landed, no one dared meet his gaze. Jameson's voice was firm but steady. "Elon, showing up uninvited—what exactly are the Goldings planning to do here?" Elon's tone was icy. "Mr. Jameson, I'm here because Sherilyn was assaulted—right here in your home." He scoffed, "And so what if I wasn't invited? What, you think the Rhodes family is in any position to go head-to-head with the Goldings?" The arrogance in his voice made every member of the Rhodes family clench their fists—but none of them dared speak up. Tiana stepped in, her tone sharp. "Elon, if you came to take Sherilyn with you, fine. She's right there. Take her and leave—now." Elon grinned, but the smile never reached his eyes. "Mrs. Rhodes, are you really trying to rush me out like that? Do you think that's going to happen? I came all this way, fully prepared and with backup. You think I'm just going to walk away without drawing blood?" As the chilling words left his mouth, Elon's beady eyes fin

Andrew said coldly "Weren't you the one bragging about carrying the Goldings' heir? Didn't you think marrying into the Goldings made you superior, untouchable? Well, I just slapped the hell out of you, and now you're bawling like a child. So go on, keep insulting me." He lowered his hand, face expressionless, eyes locked on Sherilyn. Sherilyn's head was spinning, her face completely numb from the strikes. She stammered, "You little bas—Andrew, you actually hit me… You actually hit a pregnant woman. I swear, you're finished. My husband will kill you!" Her rage burned to the point she wanted to rip Andrew apart, but the words stuck in her throat. After that last round of slaps, Sherilyn had started questioning reality itself. Just then, a Rhodes family guard burst into the room, out of breath. He shouted, "Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes! We've got trouble—the Goldings are here!" Jameson's face changed. "Shut the gates. Tell them we're not receiving visitors today!" Tiana shook her he

Sherilyn sneered, "But don't forget—I'm the daughter-in-law of the Goldings. So what if you killed Aidan? To me, you're still nothing but a bug under my shoe!" The entire Rhodes family looked visibly uncomfortable. Sherilyn, now part of the Goldings by marriage, was no longer just their problem—she had serious backing. And the truth was, none of them dared to lay a finger on her, because the Rhodes family could not afford to provoke the wrath of the Goldings. Amid the tension, Andrew chuckled. "Is that what all the fuss is about? Do you seriously think marrying into the Goldings makes you untouchable? Like you're too good to slap?" As he walked toward her, Sherilyn burst out laughing in fury. "What, are you actually going to hit me? Please! I'm standing right here, Andrew. If you've got the guts, go ahead—hit me!" Kenny stepped up quickly, warning, "Andrew, I know you're reckless and fearless, thinking the world owes you nothing. But I'm warning you now—Sherilyn is carrying

Andrew smiled and said, "Relax, Mrs. Rhodes. Don't worry—I'm not here to settle the score for the things you did in the past." Tiana instinctively wanted to snap back. However, the moment she remembered this guy could probably pin her down with one hand, she swallowed her temper fast. She huffed, "Fine. You did the Rhodes family a huge favor today and even saved both our lives. If you wanted to come after me, I'd honestly have no choice but to take it." Jameson chuckled and said, "Tiana, you don't need to be so passive-aggressive. Andy's not that petty. He never had any intention of coming after you." Andrew nodded. "Mr. Rhodes gets me." Jameson looked Andrew up and down with admiration in his eyes. "Andy, I totally misjudged you. I never thought you were hiding your true power—you're on a whole other level!" He laughed heartily, adding, "You and Lauren are a perfect match!" Tiana scoffed unwillingly. "It's too soon to say things like that! Aidan might be gone, but Kenny

As Andrew stepped back, he widened the distance just in time, causing Aidan's furious iron punch to swing through thin air. It felt like punching into a pillow—no resistance, nowhere for the force to go, leaving him frustrated and thrown off. A strange, muffled crack echoed through the air. Andrew flicked his fingers lightly against Aidan's face. In an instant, half of Aidan's cheek swelled up, skin split and bleeding. The sheer precision and power of the move left everyone in the Rhodes family gripping their chests in disbelief. Andrew followed up with a sharp elbow strike, landing squarely between Aidan's shoulder blades. Aidan roared, his body crackling with strain as he unleashed every ounce of strength he had left, determined to go down fighting. Andrew just smirked with disdain. With another palm strike heading toward Aidan, he suddenly shifted mid-motion. What had begun as a soft open-hand strike transformed instantly into a straight, vertical knife-hand blow. "You
Chapter 1071
Andrew took down Aidan in a flash, and before anyone could react, he had Kenny and Sherilyn on their knees. His attack was so fast and fierce, it stunned the entire Rhodes family like a lightning strike. Jerry clutched his chest and collapsed on the ground, his face frozen with shock. Jameson was holding onto Tiana, so stunned he forgot about his own pain. He mumbled, "No way… Tiana… I told you, you misjudged him!" "No... I was blind too," she admitted. "This guy is so powerful!" Tiana's heart was pounding from the impact of what she had just witnessed. She had always known Andrew was dangerous, and she knew he was smart, always ten steps ahead of everyone else. She had even considered the possibility that he might be at the peak of senior grandmaster level—maybe even something insane, like her own semi–martial king rank. But even with all that in mind, it still was not enough. After all, with someone like Joe from the Driscoll family in the picture, Andrew was still second
Chapter 1070
Aidan was stunned, realizing that something was very off. In that split second, Aidan, who had brushed off Andrew like an insect, suddenly realized that this so-called "nobody" was not just tough. In fact, he was dangerous. The instant their moves collided, Aidan's instincts—honed on the edge of martial king mastery—screamed in alarm. With a low growl, he made his move. Instead of dodging Andrew's whip-like kick, he charged forward, trying to smash his forehead into Andrew's knee. At the same time, his fingers hooked like claws, launching a brutal move right for Andrew's heart. "You little punk, since you have a dead wish, I'll rip your heart out and show it to you while it's still beating!" Tiana gasped in horror. "Andrew, you're not his match—get out of there, now! If you die here for nothing, everything we've fought for will be wasted!" Andrew's voice was calm but sharp. "Mrs. Rhodes, let me give you a lesson. Watch closely. Taking out trash like this? It really isn't that
