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, Aidanโs instinctsโhoned on the edge of martial king masteryโscreamed in alarm.
With a low growl, he made his move. Instead of dodging Andrewโs whip-like kick, he charged forward, trying to smash his forehead into Andrewโs knee. At the same time, his fingers hooked like claws, launching a brutal move right for Andrewโs heart.
โYou little punk, since you have a death wish, Iโll rip your heart out and show it to you while itโs still beating!โ
Tiana gasped in horror. โAndrew, youโre not his matchโget out of there, now! If you die here for nothing, everything weโve fought for will be wasted!โ
Andrewโs voice was calm but sharp. โMrs. Rhodes, let me give you a lesson. Watch closely. Taking out trash like this? It really isnโt that hard.โ
โAnd while youโre at it, take another lookโat the so-called pawn you thought was beneath Laurenโฆ Well, it turns out that I might just be a tiny bit more impressive than you imagined.โ
Andrewโs legs shot through the air, raining down kicks aimed at Aidanโs head, ears, and chest. Every strike was a kill shotโfast, ruthless, and perfectly timed.
Aidan roared like a beast, caught off-guard by the unrelenting power. With every hit, he felt the pressure in his chest rise. He tried to shout, to retaliate, but the air in his lungs would not come out.
He could only block, and in the face of Andrewโs relentless barrage, he stumbled backward, spinning like a top across the marble floor.
โHow the hell is this possible? Why am I hesitating? Why do I feel fear? No one but a martial king should be able to suppress me like this! This brat is just riding a burst of momentum. Once it fades, heโs done. Then, he dies!โ
Gritting his teeth, Aidan took a deep breath and puffed out his chest to absorb a direct hit from Andrewโs foot. His iron fists swung out like twin hammers, aiming to crush Andrewโs skull from both sides.
He refused to believe he would be humbled by a street rat lurking in the shadows.
Andrew said nothing. Instead, he smiled coldly. Then, his foot tapped lightly against the ground. It seemed soft, almost playful. However, the marble beneath his toes shattered in a web of cracksโproof of the terrifying force he had just summoned.
In the next instant, he exploded forward like a runaway train. Andrewโs body slammed directly into Aidanโs chest.
Aidanโs twin palm strike froze mid-air. He looked like he was trying to give Andrew a hug, but his arms never reached himโthey could not.
The sound was horrifying, like a log snapping underfoot. His ribs and his chest had shattered.
โYouโฆโ Aidan gasped, eyes bloodshot and bulging, staring at Andrew in disbelief.
Andrewโs face remained unreadable. Then, he raised an elbow. With a single thrust, the blow detonated like a bomb, sending Aidanโs giant frame flying across the hall like a broken wreck.
Andrew did not even follow up. Instead, he slid sidewaysโgliding over the smooth floor like he was skating on iceโuntil he appeared right in front of Kenny and Sherilyn.
โGet on your knees.โ His voice was like a gunshot in a quiet forestโcold, sharp, and inescapable.
Before Sherilyn could even curse him out, Andrew lifted his leg and snapped it forward.
Kenny and Sherilyn both screamed, clutching their knees, which now felt like they had been shattered from the inside out. They dropped to the floor, howling in pain, both of them kneeling hard before him.
