Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1747

Aaron said coldly, "Among the three Dragon Kings of Blumedale's underworld, I may not have the largest operation, but that just means I'm the boldest and most ruthless. So, if I want answers, you'd better spill them fast and clean. Because once I run out of patience, Mr. Lloyd, your pretty face might not leave this place in one piece."

Around them, his henchmen narrowed their eyes, radiating menace as they closed in.

Andrew sighed and rubbed his temple. "You underworld guys... Why is it always threats, violence, and waving guns around with you guys? Listen closely—my backing is serious. You don't want to mess with me."

Aaron blinked, then burst into mocking laughter. "Did you hit your head? Got so scared you lost your mind, maybe? You think I'd dare order you around if I was worried about who's behind you?"

The two women massaging him giggled coldly.

"Please, Mr. Nicholls doesn't care about your so-called powerful connections. Even Governor McCormick doesn't faze him. You want to throw around names in front of him? Might as well run headfirst into a wall."

Aaron gave Andrew a mocking smile and casually walked around behind him, patting him on the shoulder.

"Come on—time to face reality. Before showing up here, you should've done your homework. I might be the least experienced of the three Dragon Kings, sure. But my backer? He's so powerful, your people would be nothing but pawns in his eyes."

Andrew raised a brow. "Oh? So you're telling me, you don't even flinch at the Keller family or Governor McCormick? Alright then… how about the Peck family?"

Aaron scoffed. "Andrew, are you dumb or what? If I don't fear the Keller family or Derek, why would I give a damn about the Peck family that's ranked dead last among the Five Apex Families? Don't be ridiculous."
