After all, Jaden was someone ranked high on the Titan List. In other places, a man of his level would have been seen as a founding master. Even though he had not broken through to the realm of a martial emperor yet, his strength was so overwhelming that even a martial emperor would not intimidate him. With a furious roar, Jaden's muscular legs suddenly shot up. With one kick, he sent one side of the Rolls-Royce's door flying off. He snorted coldly and darted out, escaping the cramped confines of the vehicle. Outside, he would have room to fight properly. Just as he left the car, a series of cracking sounds rang out as the car's roof was smashed completely flat. If he had come out even a second later, he would have been crushed underneath for sure. Jaden's face twisted with fury, his eyes burning with a violent, bloodthirsty glow. His car had been custom-built, strong enough to withstand machine-gun fire and sledgehammer blows. Yet, after just two strikes, it was completely mang

In the alley, the wrecked Rolls-Royce sat where it had crashed, its alarm beeping. Due to the pattering rain, not a single pedestrian passed by. The alley was located behind Nightfall Bar up ahead, and it did not get much foot traffic to begin with. Occasionally, only some drunk men and women would pass through in the dead of night. At this moment, within the alley, one man and one beast were locked in a deadly battle. Heart-pounding roars came in waves, each louder than the last. It was as if a fierce tiger lurked in the darkness, hunting its prey. However, if they listened carefully, they would notice that these roars gradually became weaker and lacked force. Eventually, they turned frantic and desperate, even carrying a hint of fear. Andrew made a peculiar hand gesture and slashed forward. He struck Jaden square in the face, cleaving off a clump of brownish-black fur along with several teeth. By now, Jaden barely resembled a man. His head was covered in wild animal fur, h

Lost in thought, Andrew did not look discouraged, nor did he see the fight as a failure. He calmly cleaned himself up and crossed the street to the food stall across from Nightfall Bar. Sitting down, he began to eat quietly. Olivia stared at him with concern. "Sir, your clothes are soaked through… And you're bleeding." Andrew gave a faint smile. "It's nothing. I slipped earlier, that's all." He quickly finished his meal, left a few bills on the table, and waved off the change before disappearing into the night. Gianna and Manuel, the stall owners, came out trembling. "You think that guy's in the mafia or something?" Gianna muttered. "I don't know… But he didn't look like someone who had just fallen. He looked like he'd just been in a fight. There was blood all over him… It was terrifying," Manuel said, frowning. He sighed. "We thought we'd found a rich, generous customer, but turns out he's probably some kind of gangster. We'd better be careful from now on." Olivia s

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance to the Lloyd family estate. Luna and Leslie got out of the car and rushed into the estate. Sheena happened to be passing by and saw Luna running toward Andrew's little, rundown house. She mumbled, "Huh? Why is Luna at our place again? From the look of things, she seems pretty anxious, too. Could it be that Andy has stolen the heart of this military ice queen?" The more Sheena thought about it, the more likely it seemed. She initially wanted to follow and secretly see what was going on. However, after a moment's thought, she dismissed the idea. Her showdown with Alfredo was getting closer and closer. Recently, it was better to nurture her mind and spirit, avoid getting involved in other matters, and prevent any emotional fluctuations. Before a fight, true masters needed to achieve a state where their hearts were as calm as a lake. Meanwhile, Sheena was someone whose mind wandered easily. She could do anything except sit sti

Luna glanced at Andrew with a flat expression. "Get well soon. And honestly, I think I understand why you got beaten up. It's probably because of that mouth of yours." With that, she turned and walked out of the Lloyd family estate. Andrew frowned as he watched her disappearing figure. She was still as fierce as always, always wanting to have the last say and mocking him. Before long, Amari returned, panting heavily. "Andrew, the situation's not looking good." Andrew remained calm. "It's fine, just tell me what it is. It's not the end of the world." Amari said, "Didn't you ask me to contact some fellow alchemists? Those guys have impeccable skills in alchemy, no question about it. Among them are two eighth-grade divine alchemists who are close friends of mine. Additionally, there are a few sixth-grade and seventh-grade alchemists who are also acquaintances of mine. If we want to start our own operation, getting them to join wouldn't be a problem. "But the problem is, right
