Chapter 834

Christina snapped. "The facts are right before us – how is it not obvious? If you didn’t pull the strings, why are all these people targeting the main Stevens family?"

Andrew let out a mocking smirk. "Christina, you’re underestimating me. I don’t need to manipulate anyone, understand? I ordered them directly. That’s not the same as manipulation."

Christina’s face stiffened. Direct orders? Was he seriously claiming he had the authority to command Marvin and Radiant Group’s people? She did not believe it.

Nonetheless, Andrew did not care whether she believed it or not. He turned to Zephyr and gestured. "Zephyr, I’ll make this simple. Give me an answer – if I’m satisfied, you and your family can leave. But if I’m not satisfied, you’re not returning to Bridgefields."

Zephyr let out a bitter laugh, his anger barely contained. "Andrew, you injured Aspen and humiliated my family. Now you want me to give you an answer? Do you think that’s possible?"

Andrew remained calm. "You should ask your precious daughter what really happened. Your family is in this position because of your own actions – you brought this on yourselves. But I’ll give you one last chance. Show me the right attitude. Otherwise, you and every last one of your people will stay here."

Zephyr roared, "Andrew, do you think I fear you? Even if you have the advantage in timing, location, and numbers, I’d like to see what you can do to me!"

Andrew chuckled. "Mr. Zephyr, you’ve got some guts. Guess I wasted my breath on you."

Turning to Dylan, Natasha, and the others, Andrew asked, "Who was it that said they’d bring me their head if any Stevens family members were still standing after three minutes?"

Rodney laughed awkwardly. "That was me… I was just showing off."

Andrew nodded. "Two minutes. I’ll give you two minutes."

With that, he clasped his hands behind his back and casually walked out of the hall. Immediately after, Natasha and Dylan struck first, launching a direct attack on Zephyr.

Rodney and Marvin’s top fighter charged at the two Stevens family senior grandmasters. However, Rodney was not strong enough to handle a senior grandmaster – he was sent flying with a single move.

Natasha ordered in a cold tone, "Mr. Rodney, work with Dylan and gang up on Zephyr. I’ll deal with your opponent myself."

Within seconds, the fight turned into a massacre. By the end of the first minute, only three people remained standing – Zephyr and his two senior grandmasters.

After taking the Cleansing Pill, Dylan and Natasha’s strength had surged dramatically. Natasha, in particular, had nearly reached the peak level of a senior grandmaster.

One of the Stevens family enforcers facing her was the first to cough up blood, and his body flung backward in utter shock.

Natasha’s eyes turned ruthless, fully embodying the Black Widow’s nature. She lunged forward and, without hesitation, slammed her palm into his skull, shattering it instantly.

Zephyr let out a grief-stricken roar as he witnessed one of the family’s strongest fighters gone just like that. For a split second, his attention wavered – and that was all it took for Dylan’s palm to strike him square in the chest, sending him crashing to the floor as blood sprayed from his mouth.

Dylan stepped forward, planting his foot on Zephyr’s chest and looking down at him condescendingly. "Now, make your family get down on the ground, or I’ll stomp your skull into pieces!"

Zephyr’s face flushed red, half from his raging blood and half from sheer humiliation and fury.

Rodney stepped up and smacked him across the face again. "Old bastard, Mr. Lloyd’s two-minute deadline is almost up! If you don’t cooperate, we’ll have no choice but to wipe out every last member of your Bridgefields Stevens family!"

Zephyr let out a miserable laugh, his voice hoarse as he shouted, "Stop! Everyone, stop!"

He knew it now – his family had been utterly defeated. Their trip to Jayrodale was supposed to be a victorious one, yet they suffered horribly.

At this moment, Zephyr had nothing but regret.
