Chapter 254

“Lock this place down immediately—no outsiders can see this,” the other Weller family elder commanded gravely. “That young man is at least a junior grandmaster-level fighter. We cannot provoke him again so carelessly.”

Cold sweat beaded on Harvey’s forehead. Andrew, a junior grandmaster? It seemed a cosmic joke.

“He’s no grandmaster! You must be mistaken,” Harvey snarled. “Everyone, follow me! We’ll cut him off and end this now!”

He refused to believe someone so young possessed such power in Jayrodale.

“You’d better listen to me,” the elder warned. “If you rush to your death, neither of us will intervene.”

The elder was already frustrated by Harvey’s arrogant behavior since he’d taken over. Even with one elder critically injured, the new leader still sought conflict.

Harvey’s face flushed with fury, but seeing the elder still bleeding on the ground, he had no choice but to relent. Without the elders’ support, he dared not pursue Andrew.

Meanwhile, in the Weller residence’s main hall, confusion rippled through the crowd.

“What happened? Did the elder actually back down?” someone whispered.

“That young man survived! It’s a miracle!”

“Could it be the Weller family showed mercy and chose to let him go?”

Many couldn't believe Andrew had left unharmed.

“Andrew, how badly hurt is the Weller family elder?” Francesca asked in amazement.

“He’ll live,” Andrew replied.

His casual response left everyone wondering how close he’d come to killing the elder. The Stevens family watched Andrew in disbelief. After their two best fighters had been defeated, Andrew had walked away unscathed.

“Andrew, are you alright?” Christina asked with concern.

Andrew smiled wryly. “You should be asking the Weller family elder that question.”

“Christie, we should leave now,” Irene urged.

Leroy added quietly, “Mom’s right, Christie. Let’s go before Harvey notices.”

Finley pushed through the crowd and sneered at Andrew. “Luck seems to favor you, always letting you escape death.”

“Mr. Moore, care to test your skills against mine?” Andrew asked calmly.

Finley’s face darkened. He growled, “Don’t get cocky. We’ll settle this eventually.”

“Then why are you here, running your mouth?” Andrew dismissed him contemptuously.

“Don’t push it, Andrew,” Finley snarled through gritted teeth. “Others might believe your act, but I see through you. If the Stevens family’s fighters hadn’t weakened the Weller family elder first, you wouldn’t be here talking.”

Atlas, the notorious local crime boss, chimed in mockingly, “Mr. Moore makes an excellent point. Some people are incredibly lucky!”

Michael added his own taunt, “You’ve got nine lives, Andrew. But if you’re so tough, why don’t you stick around and see if Harvey lets you walk away?”
