NovelOnlineChapter 2038
---- Chapter 2038 Jasper had the kind of face that looked agreeable from every angle, always smiling like the
perfect good-natured gentleman. In powerful families, people like him were the most welcomed, since they could
handle matters inside and outside without ever being a thorn in anyone's side. Lucian, however, was the
opposite. His massive frand bulging muscles strained against his suit, and his presence was overwhelming,
even larger than Henry's. His sharp eyes gleamed like a predator's, though his voice cout surprisingly calm.
"An honor, Mr. Lloyd.
I've heard of you for a long time, but | never had the chance to meet you. Now that | see you, it's clear you're a
young hero. At your age, | wasn't even a tenth of what you are." Andrew replied flatly. "Mr. Fischer, you flatter
me. I'm just an ordinary man." Lucian nodded. "Henry has mentioned you often. He said you're amazing in both
wit and courage, and that even in desperate straits, you show incredible willpower and boldness. "What's more,
you're fearless, unmatched in martial skill, leaving your enemies seething, helpless, and nearly on their
deathbeds.
For you to speak so humbly now almost makesfeel foolish!" ---- Andrew's eyes narrowed slightly, a faint
smile playing on his lips. "Mr. Fischer, isn't your praise a bit exaggerated? Compared to the talent in the Fischer
family, | fall far short." Lucian's expression remained unchanged as he replied calmly," Whether you fall short or
not isn't decided by words, but by strength. Henry and | work hand in hand. | haven't yet crossed paths with you,
but Henry has already suffered at your hands more than once. "Honestly, he dreams of defeating you.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt eats at him so much that he can't eat or sleep, always haunted by the humiliation of being toyed with by you."
Andrew smiled calmly. "If he wishes to spar, I'll gladly welcit. Back in Goldridge, things weren't exactly
pleasant between us anyway." Lucian nodded once. "Don't worry, Mr. Lloyd. I'm sure we'll have that chance." His
words carried a direct challenge, but he did not bother to hide it. He ignored Derek and Jasper, grabbed a drink,
and stood by himself, his towering frmaking him look out of place. One drink later, he simply left without
another word.
He was arrogant and overbearing to the end. ---- Jasper gave a strained smile. "Mr. Lloyd, don't take it to heart.
The Fischer family is all rough warriors with low emotional intelligence... They're all the same." Andrew shrugged.
"No worries, Mr. Phelan. | won't read into it. In fact, | almost expect it... After all, the Fischers seem eager to test
themselves against me. | don't mind. I'd like to see how fierce they are." Jasper forced a chuckle but wisely did
not continue. Everyone knew Lucian was as dangerous as they came, and Henry alone had already proven that.
The Fischer brothers were no ordinary men, and neither was Andrew. Both sides were destined to clash head-on.
Derek broke the silence and said to Andrew, "Old powers crumble, new ones rise. Swill celebrate, swill
resent it, but there's no reason for you to trouble yourself with what others think. Let's just enjoy our own
success." Andrew lifted his glass with a grin. "Well said, Governor McCormick." Derek cleared his throat, and
Jasper, understanding the cue, politely excused himself. Once no one else lingered nearby, Derek sighed with a
wry smile.
