Chapter 876
That was like an old man tying a noose around his own neck, sealing his own fate.
“Kid, you’ve got some skill, I’ll give you that. Blocking my attack head-on was no small feat,” Bane sneered, though panic gnawed at his gut.
“But that was just a warm-up. Now, I’m coming at you with everything I’ve got. If you can withstand one more strike, I’ll walk away from this martial arts world forever!”
Michael clutched his groin, his face twisted in agony, looking as if he were on the verge of death. He howled, “Bane! I want him torn to shreds–I want him in pieces! My manhood! Andrew, I swear I’ll kill you!”
Michael’s pitiful wails sent a fresh wave of pressure surging through Bane’s chest. He had to escape. If he stayed, the injuries he was barely suppressing would spiral out of control.
As for Michael or the entire plan to take over The Aickers? Well, screw it all. None of that mattered anymore–staying alive was the only thing that counted!
With a vicious glare, Bane let out a roar, his sleeves billowing as he launched himself forward like a raging storm. His fists blasted toward Andrew with the full force of his body’s potential.
This was his do-or-die moment–an all-out strike that would leave him completely drained afterward, possibly even unconscious.
However, there was no other choice. If he did not go all in and create an opening to escape, then the outcome was clear–best case, he died on the spot. Worst case, there would not even be a corpse left to bury.
How could he have been so blind? A man already halfway from reaching Martial King–Bane should have seen it coming!
Andrew did not flinch. He met Bane’s devastating fists head-on, his expression as cold as steel.
Bane’s face flushed a deep red–an ominous sign that blood was about to spew from his mouth. In a last-ditch effort, he suddenly parted his lips and spewed out a thick cloud of green poison straight at Andrew!
Andrew instantly retreated, creating distance in a flash. Despite stepping back, he still held his ground in front of the door, refusing to let Bane escape.
Bane erupted into a fit of crazed laughter. “You fell right into my trap!”
Ignoring the dizziness creeping into his vision, he did not make a run for the door. Instead, in a blur of motion, he lunged at Tiana, clamping two sharp fingers around her throat.
With just a little pressure, his fingers could turn razor-sharp–sharp enough to puncture her windpipe in an instant.
“Andrew, you better not take another step. Otherwise, I’ll kill her right now!” Bane snarled, his expression menacing.
Andrew’s face remained ice-cold as he strode forward, unfazed by the threat.
“Let go of Mrs. Rhodes, you filthy old dog!”
“Yeah, Bane! Let go of Mrs. Rhodes, or you’ll die without a grave to be buried in!”
“Mr. Lloyd, what are you doing? Don’t you see Mrs. Rhodes is being held hostage?”
“Mr. Lloyd, stop! Mrs. Rhodes is in danger!”
The executives lying helplessly on the ground cursed at Bane, but their voices quickly shifted to disbelief as Andrew advanced without hesitation.
Lauren could not hold back any longer. “Dr. Lloyd, don’t–
After all, Tiana was her mother. No matter what, she could not just stand by and watch her die.
Bane’s confidence wavered when he saw Andrew walking straight toward him. Panic shot through his veins. “Andrew, do you really not care if Tiana dies?!”
Andrew finally stopped, his gaze settling on Bane. However, it was just a brief glance.
Then, he turned to Tiana and said flatly, “Mrs. Rhodes, you’ve been pretending long enough. Isn’t it time to do something?”
