Chapter 1966
---- Chapter 1966 At the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce headquarters building, both Dragon Kings sat
silently in the spacious office, waiting anxiously and impatiently. The wait was unbearable, and Ronald, the Onyx
Dragon King, let out a cold snort. "Andrew's getting more and more disrespectful toward us." Ronald sneered.
"Aaron, | thought you only cared about money, not people. As long as you're paid enough, you don't fear anyone.
Remember last twhen Andrew went after Scarlett?
| wouldn't help, but you were quick to step up. So why are you suddenly playing the coward this time?" Aaron
shot him a cold glance before smirking. "Ronald, don't play the saint. We're the same. You can't tellyou
weren't tempted by Andrew's 50 billion. You can act high and mighty all you want, but money like that? Nobody
says no to it." Ronald's jaw tightened. "Who the hell wouldn't want that kind of money? But he's lost his mind. He
wants to kill the head of the Driscoll family.
That's Maurice, one of Blumedale's Three Titans. Tell me, who in Gabo Creek would dare take that job?" Aaron
shook his head. "It's too late to argue about it now. Mr. Lloyd is clever! Hell, | have to admit, even I'm impressed.
He ---- transferred the money to us without saying a word about what it was for. Once we accepted it, he told us.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYou see what he did? He forced us onto the sledge he's about to jump from." Ronald paced the room in
frustration.
"That bastard's dragging us down with him. If I'd known, | never would've taken the money. M-Maybe we still
have a way out." Aaron narrowed his eyes. "A way out? You're not planning to take 'the money and walk away,
are you?" Ronald scoffed. "Taking the money and not doing the job would be a death sentence in our world. I'm
not that reckless. But | could return his money and say we can't help." Aaron gave a cynical smile. "Mr. Lloyd
won't let us return it.
Last tyou wouldn't help him with Scarlett, look how that turned out. Do you think you can stop him if he
comes after you?" Ronald snapped. "Damn it, am | the Dragon King here or is he? Since when have | not even
had the right to say no?" Before Aaron could answer, the office door swung open. Andrew walked in with his
people, and Rachel quickly rushed forward to take his coat and hang it up. Aaron forced a smile. "Mr. Lloyd,
you're back!" He shot Ronald a look to greet him.
-— Ronald's face was like stone as he
muttered, "Mr. Lloyd, hope you're all
good." Andrew walked behind the
desk, sat down slowly, and SRE
head. "I'm not dein ell Ronald
floze\ Haught, '0f course | know
you're not doing well, but we're
supposed to at least pretend here...
Don't you get that?" Andrew looked
up at the two Dragon Kings.
"Gentlemen, | heard bits of your
conversation outside." Aaron gave a
strained chuckle, while Ronald
decided to just rip the bandage off.
"Fine, since you heard, I'll just say it:
I'm not taking this job." Andrew's
expression did not change. "Reason?"

don't feel like dying with you. That's
my reason!" Inwardly, he cursed.
Andrew probably already knew, but
he was still forcing him to spell it out
Andrew replied, "But you already took
my money." The content is on
