Chapter 2298

Aspen gave a cold snort. “Sorry, I have no idea who you are.”

Kyrie slapped her, rage blazing in his eyes. “Bitch, you tried to trap me last night at the Grand Hall, and now you say you don’t know me? Do you think I’m some kind of fool?”

To his shock, Aspen dodged his vicious slap. Her hand flipped, and a dagger appeared in her grip.

“Try that again and I won’t hold back,” she said with an icy glare.

Kyrie let out a furious laugh. “You’re the first to pull a blade on me in Chetvine. Fine, let’s see what you’ve really got.”

He lunged forward like a storm.

Aspen had only reached the martial king level, so against Kyrie, she had no chance to react. Pain ripped through her stomach as she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Natasha, furious, struck out with her palm. However, Kyrie sneered and swatted her aside with a backhand.

Aspen’s dagger clattered to the ground.

Kyrie smirked. “What now? Getting scared? Ready to give in?”

Aspen glanced at Natasha’s injuries and said coldly, “General Harding, you’ll regret this. We are Andrew’s women, and we live inside the Lloyd family estate. You know Andrew’s temper. He won’t overlook this.”

Kyrie gave a twisted grin. “So now you’re threatening me, huh? Fine, then I’ll show you just what Andrew means to me!”

His eyes flared red as energy surged in his hand, and he reached for Aspen’s throat.

However, Aspen did not flinch. She just stood there, waiting for him to act.

Her look of disdain only fueled his rage.

“General, stop!” Noah rushed forward at the last second.

“Get out of my way, this doesn’t concern you!” Kyrie roared.

Noah’s voice was firm. “Sir, have you forgotten? We were only ordered to take them in. The higher-ups made it clear: no harming them.”

Kyrie’s tone turned icy. “I’m a major general. So what if I hurt them? Hell, even if I kill them, who’s going to stop me?”

Noah pressed quickly, “But these two aren’t ordinary women. They’re Andrew’s. If you really kill them, have you thought about how he will respond?”

Kyrie pointed at himself and snapped, “So you’re saying I’m supposed to fear Andrew, that piece of trash? You think I came here for his women without considering him? These bitches and Andrew robbed Mr. Beckett. Once that sticks, Andrew won’t be able to talk his way out of it.”

Noah shook his head. “That hasn’t been proven. General Phelan only asked us to escort the ladies, nothing more. But you came in swinging, and you know she won’t like that.”

He added, “More importantly, General Turman told us to handle this appropriately and avoid conflict with the Lloyd family. Yet you’ve already crossed that line by attacking them. But that’s not what worries me most. I know Andrew’s temper. If you actually hurt these two, he might really do something you won’t expect.”

Kyrie’s fury boiled over. “So that’s it? You’re saying I should be scared of Andrew, too? Even you, a worthless underling, think that way? Fine then, I’ll stir this hornet’s nest myself! What is Andrew, anyway? A god?”
