Mason was stunned, caught off guard by the unexpected gesture. Andrew had just bowed to him with a very
sincere attitude, which Mason thought was absolutely impossible.
After all, Andrew was definitely no pushover. On the contrary, he was a tough guy who would not take any
losses.
"You're too kind. As long as you don't hold the Ulrich family responsible, we'll count our blessings."
Even as he spoke, his words dripped with passive aggression.
He sneered inwardly. 'Andrew, you may have great power, but your foundation is unstable. Today, I've got you
cornered!"
Andrew smiled and patted Mason's shoulder with a meaningful look. "Mr. Ulrich, we're about the sage. Let's
go by first name! | remember when you first took your position; we had quite a pleasant conversation."
He added, "Although | don't know what caused you to develop unpleasant thoughts about me, | believe that
since we're all part of the Chamber of Commerce, any misunderstandings can be cleared up."
Mason's face twisted into a mask of fear, his shoulders trembling as he lowered his voice. "Mr. Lloyd, please don't
say such things. I'm just a nobody. | could never dare call you by your first name."
He continued, "I have only one humble request: please, stop holding the Ulrich family accountable. My father's
gone now, and you've rightfully becthe number one in the chamber. Let it go. Spare us, please. We won't go
against you ever again."
Ezra, the third-ranked fighter on the Underworld Index, growled from the side. "You all saw that, didn't you?
Andrew's persecution of the Ulrich family is just disgusting." Look at Mr. Ulrich! He's trembling like a rat in front
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtof a cat! And this is happening in broad daylight. If no one speaks up, I'll be the first to say it—this has gone too
far!"
The guests, already agitated, now turned furious eyes on Andrew.
Among them stood a tall man in a robe, dressed like he stepped off a period set. Anyone who did not
know better would have thought he was into dressing up.
He was surrounded by about seven suited bodyguards, all with terrifying auras and prominently bulging temples.
This clearly showed that this man had an extraordinary background.
"I've never had any ties with the major families in Blumedale," the robed man said firmly.
He continued, "But the Ulrichs? They're family friends-blood-deep bonds. Andrew, I'll make this clear right now. If
you ever lay a finger on the Ulrich family again, I, Marcelo Byrne, will personally take your head."
The man spoke sternly, looking at
Andrew with undisguised K
intent. After he spoke, no one around the brute
dared to say a word. Even
Ezra wisely kept his mout.
Logan growled, "Mr. Byrne, you're the Azure Dragon King. Don't you think it's a bit
too much for someone of your standing to talk like this?"
Marcelo smiled. "Too much? So what? Logan, if your father were here, | might show srestraint. But you're
not worthy of it."
With that, he gracefully waved the folding fan in his hand, looking very suave. Many women at the scene
swooned a little, their eyes sparkling.
Meanwhile, Andrew found him painfully unbearable.
"So you're the Azure Dragon King of Blumedale's underworld gang?" Andrew asked flatly.
Marcelo smirked. "That's right. Got something to say about it?"
Andrew nodded. "Yeah. Just one
thing-you look ridiculous. You're

you should quit the criminal world

Outrage exploded from the crowd.
"Andrew, how dare you!"
"Mr. Byrne is a respected leader in the underworld. How dare you insult him?"
"Suggesting he should be an escort? Have you ever seen an escort with powers like his?"
Andrew chuckled. "Nope. That's why | said he should be the king of escorts."
Marcelo's black-suited bodyguards all surged forward in a blast of motion, attacking Andrew.
