Rowan said, "You were just a small-town doctor back then. And now, you've leaped to become the King of Gabo Creek! Who would've known? Andrew, you've changed so much, so very much!" Her voice was filled with amazement and admiration. Andrew chuckled, "Actually, you're not doing badly yourself. The Onyx Serpents is one of the three major gangs in Gabo Creek!" Rowan smiled wryly. "Are you running out of things to talk about? The current Onyx Serpents isn't the same as before! In the power struggles between those experts, we don't even matter!" Her self-deprecating tone was obvious. Andrew nodded. "Having a young woman like you carry the burden of an entire group on her shoulders must be quite difficult." Rowan suddenly looked at him with burning eyes, "Would you be willing to help me?" Andrew cursed inwardly. 'Damn it! She really knows how to take advantage of the moment!' Before he could say anything, Rowan continued, "Andrew, I've never forgotten that kiss!" Andrew l

Andrew asked coldly, "Are you done talking?" Rowan lifted her chin. "I'm done. What are you going to do about it?" Andrew gritted his teeth. "I'll show you." He pulled her into his arms and kissed her hard. Rowan gasped in surprise, and her mind went completely blank. His kiss was dominant, deep, and unrelenting. At the same time, his hands roamed over her, leaving her weak and trembling, barely able to stand. Her body was cold to the touch, her constitution unusual. Andrew found himself sinking into her, almost ready to take things further. This time, Rowan panicked. She clutched his wandering hand tightly and whispered, "Not here, please! Grandma is still outside. And I-I don't know what I'm doing yet, I can't right now!" Andrew held her face firmly and growled, "Weren't you just acting bold? Acting like I couldn't do anything to you?" Rowan gave a breathless laugh, her eyes glistening. "Andrew… thank you." Andrew froze. "Thank me? For what?" She kept switchi

Tiana covered her mouth and laughed. "Mr. Yates, there's nothing wrong with you thinking that way." Due to Andrew's rise to power, all of Blumedale was in uproar. Anyone with any status rushed to the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce to offer congratulations. Even neighboring cities and gangs throughout Gabo Creek province sent representatives to make appearances. Everyone was bustling about, except for Andrew himself, the main character. He was hiding in Serenity Villa, not wanting to deal with anything. As a result, those who came to congratulate him waited eagerly for ages but could not get a meeting with him. Andrew naturally had this kind of prestige now. If he wanted to show his face, he would make an appearance. If he did not want to show his face, then even if the king himself came calling, he would not give them any respect. Chantelle was already prepared and could leave for Terror Town, her hometown, at any time. She was just waiting for Andrew to finish his business in

"This trip to Terror Town, I'll head straight to Chetvine afterward," Andrew announced. It was finally the day for him to set out. "But once I'm in Chetvine, I can't say how long I'll be staying. So, who among you wants to come?" Eric spoke first. "I definitely want to see Chetvine. Since you're going, I'll follow soon after." Andrew nodded and looked at the others. Logan smiled. "Honestly, I'd like to visit Chetvine too, but there's still plenty to handle with the Keller family. I'll wait and see." Aspen jumped in quickly. "I'm going with you right away. I've got nothing on my hands anyway." Wherever Andrew went, Aspen wanted to follow. Andrew chuckled. "Alright, you're in." Lauren and Francesca answered together. "We'll come too, but only when we can make the time." Both had responsibilities that kept them busy. Chantelle, however, was the happiest. Andrew's route to Chetvine meant he would first stop in Terror Town, her hometown. Though they were not married yet,

That night, Andrew battled the four temptresses with all he had. In the end, he won, but only barely. Perhaps because he was leaving soon, Lauren, Francesca, and Aspen were especially relentless. If Andrew's body had not been built like iron, he would have collapsed long ago. Still, as his martial strength kept improving, Lauren and the others found themselves crying out more easily under his onslaught. Even Aspen, usually the one who could endure the most, lasted barely 40 minutes before gasping for mercy. Chantelle, however, stayed disciplined the entire night. She was not jealous at all of Andrew's struggle with the others, because she knew she would have plenty of alone time with him once they traveled to Terror Town together. The thought alone kept her awake all night with excitement. The next morning, Andrew and Chantelle headed for the airport with their luggage, though most of it belonged to Chantelle. To his surprise, Natasha announced she wanted to come along as wel
