Chapter 376
Ernest’s face turned ashen before he forced a cold laugh. He sneered, “Kid, I almost fell for your tricks. You’re putting on quite a show, but do you really think I’m that gullible?”
Andrew shrugged casually and said, “Whether you believe me or not, Ernest, you’ll find out in three days.”
Ernest’s heart pounded as his confidence wavered. When misfortune struck, it usually hit hard and fast, and if what this young man said about a terminal illness was true, he would be in serious trouble.
Following the principle of “better safe than sorry,” Ernest hastily bid farewell to Natasha and rushed out of West End with his men.
Natasha laughed behind her hand. “What a fool to believe such a story! He’s probably heading straight to the hospital for a checkup. Darling, you really got him good!”
Andrew replied calmly, “You’re wrong. I wasn’t trying to scare him. Everything I said was true. Ernest really does have a serious illness.”
Natasha scoffed. “He’s gone now, and you don’t have to keep pretending. Even if he was sick, how could you possibly know it would strike in exactly three days?”
Andrew responded with a slight smile, “Didn’t you see me tap several points on his body during the examination? I stimulated specific pressure points that would trigger his existing condition. Within three days, he’ll be in excruciating pain.”
Natasha stared in amazement. “So, when you offered to examine him, you were actually setting this up?”
Andrew’s expression turned cold. “That pervert needed to be taught a lesson for his attitude. It would have been a waste not to give him one.”
Natasha could not help but laugh delightedly. “Darling, you’re delightfully devious! The more cunning you are, the more I like it!”
Andrew remained unmoved as she stepped closer. “You should go rest and prepare yourself. Tonight, we have a major battle ahead.”
Natasha bit her lip and turned to leave. “Fine, I’ll go then. Dylan and I need to take down Atlas tonight!”
With the Blood Surge Pill’s enhancement, Dylan and Natasha’s combined strength should be more than enough to defeat Atlas.
Andrew had done his part to help them, and if they could not succeed with these advantages, they would not be worth keeping around. Then, all that remained was waiting three days for Ernest to hand over the Aurora Lotus.
Andrew had nearly collected all the initial rare medicinal herbs he needed. Once the time was right, he would regain a portion of his former power—enough to defeat most opponents.
His ultimate goal lay in Chetvine, the thousand-year-old noble house. After many years, it was time for the crown prince of the Lloyd family to announce his return to the world.
