Chapter 31  Andrew grabbed and lifted Bobby with one swift motion, then taunted, “I said I’d beat the shit out of you, but you wouldn’t believe it!”  Bobby let out a fierce roar and drove his knee toward Andrew’s chest. The impact made a dull thud, but Andrew did not budge, even flashing a confident smile,  Bobby was stunned–that kick would have shattered an ordinary person’s ribs. Yet, this guy was still grinning.  Suddenly, Andrew wrapped an arm around Bobby’s head and slammed it across the nearby tables like a rag doll. Plates shattered, glasses broke, and bottles smashed everywhere.  With blood streaming down his face, Bobby shouted, “I’ll kill you and your whole family!”  Then, he quickly pulled out a knife and stabbed at Andrew’s waist.  “Not bad, Bobby. You’ve got some skills!” Andrew praised mockingly.  After that, he moved at an unbelievable speed and snatched the knife away. With a swift motion, the blade pierced Bobby’s palm and drove deep into the table.  Immediately after, a piercing scream erupted from Bobby as the pain overwhelmed him. The onlookers, including Francesca, were shocked.  “Bobby got taken down by this pretty boy?”  “But Bobby’s a trained fighter, ex–military!”  “It’s not that Bobby’s weak. This guy is just incredibly strong!”  With one hand pinned to the table, Bobby snarled through gritted teeth, “If you’ve got the guts, kill me! Otherwise, I swear I’ll end you!”  Before he could finish, Andrew grabbed a bottle of vintage wine and shattered it over Bobby’s head. When Bobby tried to speak again, Andrew landed two devastating punches that left him dazed and throwing up blood.  Bobby slurred, “H–How dare you! Mr. Garner won’t-”  Andrew chuckled and cut him off, saying, “Let me guess–Mr. Garner won’t let me get away with this?”  With a final kick to Bobby’s jaw, Andrew sent him flying through the VIP section, sending him crashing into the tables and sending customers scrambling with screams.  Andrew returned to his seat and looked at the dumbfounded Francesca. He casually said, “I earn my own respect. I don’t need anyone to give it to me. And even if they wanted to–well, they couldn’t afford to, could they?”  After finishing his drink, Andrew brushed off his clothes and walked out. The crowd that had  +25 BONUS  Chapter 31  been mocking him earlier quickly stepped aside, heir faces pale with fear.  The club manager stammered, “W–Wait… You need to pay for all this damage!”  Andrew just smiled. “Mr. Weller promised I could do whatever I wanted. Go ask him if you’re going to ask for compensation.”  The manager’s face twitched, but he did not dare say more. He was mentally calculating the losses–the club’s premium furnishings would cost millions to replace.  By the time Francesca rushed outside, Andrew had vanished. She muttered, “He’s incredibly strong. But even if he took down Bobby, what about Dylan, the crime lord of South City? Isn’t he afraid of worse retaliation?”  After considering for a moment, Francesca called Lauren. “Lauren, there’s something I need to tell you!”  She proceeded to describe how Andrew had defeated Bobby at Oakridge Club.  After listening, Lauren simply commented, “It’s over!”  When Francesca quickly.responded, “I know, Andrew’s finished! Dylan will handle this personally now.”  Lauren laughed. “No, I mean Dylan and the entire South City underground are finished.” With that, she hung up before a stunned Francesca could reply.
