Chapter 2471
Anyone familiar with the power players in Chetvine knew that the big shots from noble families and old money households traveled in convoys of luxury sedans. They were all about prestige, elegance, and extravagance.
However, the martial arts sects and major underworld forces in Chetvine preferred big SUVs. Thick exhaust pipes, sequential license plates, and they drove with an intimidating presence.
When one ran into that kind of convoy, they could bet money it was some underworld kingpin making his rounds. And right now, someone in the crowd recognized exactly who owned this particular fleet.
Someone exclaimed, “That’s the head of the Murphy family. Looks like he’s handling this personally.”
“See that lead vehicle? That’s Mr. Murphy Senior’s personal ride. He’s a martial emperor. That SUV might look like an ordinary Land Cruiser, but the body can withstand a gun barrage. The specs on that thing are based on the presidential motorcade.”
Another chimed in, “Can’t tell if this Mr. Murphy Senior is friend or foe, but if he’s an enemy, the Medicine God’s Covenant is finished.”
Immediately, a subordinate snapped open an umbrella to shield him. There was no sun in the sky, and it was not raining either. That umbrella was basically pointless, but underworld figures always made a show of things. Even someone like Wilder could not escape that habit.
He looked up and studied the sign above, commenting, “Medicine God’s Covenant… What a bold name.” Whether it was mockery or praise was hard to tell from his smirking tone. Then, he strode inside with his hands clasped behind his back.
Andrew set down his teacup and slowly stood up. After all, a serious threat had arrived, and he could not treat this like the small fry from before.
“So you’re the Lloyd family’s Dragon Prince, the Lloyd family’s castoff, right?” Wilder’s hazel eyes bore down on Andrew with overwhelming pressure.
Andrew asked calmly, “Can I help you?”
Wilder let out a cold laugh. “You bet. It’s been a few days since you killed my son, Benny. His funeral just ended, and now I’m here to get revenge for my worthless boy. After I send you to the grave, I’ll have done my duty as a father. At the very least, I’ll have found him some company down there.”
Andrew replied indifferently, “I’m not interested. You’ll have to find someone else.”
Wilder’s eyes flashed with ferocity. “You’re not interested? Do you really think you can survive until tomorrow if I decide to kill you tonight? Do you actually believe you have a choice in the matter?”
Andrew narrowed his eyes slowly. “So, you’re looking for a fight?”
Wilder sneered contemptuously. “A fight? You’re not even worthy. Today, I’m going to wipe out this little bastard to avenge Benny.”
Andrew said coldly, “He brought it on himself. Can’t blame anyone else. You want to stand up for him as his old man, I’ve got no problem with that. Just come back tomorrow, Mr. Murphy Senior. I don’t have time today. The shop’s open for business, and I can’t spare the time to play with you.”
Wilder laughed in fury. “You’re a foot in your grave and you still dare talk big. I already told you: you’re dying today. You want to put it off until tomorrow? That kind of luck doesn’t exist in this world.”
Andrew said impatiently, “Since we can’t reach an agreement, let’s just get to it. I spent a good amount of money on this little shop. Let’s go. We’ll settle this somewhere else.”
At his current level, Andrew did not need any schemes or petty tricks anymore. When you hit a mountain, you climb it. When you reach the sea, you cross it. Everything else was pointless. Strength, at a certain level, could break through anything. That was an unchanging truth throughout history.
While Andrew could not exactly look down on Wilder since the man was a martial emperor, there was no way he would be afraid of him.
