Everyone could tell Andrew was no ordinary martial artist. After all, he had taken down the Hopkins men like it was nothing.


    Nheless, the fact that he kept going and even dared toy hands on Archie was pure suicide.


    "That little bastard is dead meat! Archie''s gonna skin him alive!" someone hissed.


    "Yeah! It''s one thing to p us around, but hitting Mr. Hopkins? Does he think he''s untouchable?"


    "Just wait. This fool''s been used like a pawn by Mrs. Rhodes. Once the real Hopkins heavy hitters show up, he''s gonna get ughtered right here at The Pce!"


    Meanwhile, Archie caught another few brutal ps from Andrew. Chunks of his thick beard went flying through the air.


    Archie howled, "You little punk! You''ve pushed it too far! If I don''t kill you tonight, I''ll change my damnst name to yours!"


    Grimacing with rage, Archie pulled out his phone and snarled into it. "I just got attacked at The Pce. Bring the whole crew over-now!


    "Yeah, you heard me. Tonight, I''m wiping out the Rhodes family and this punk bastard too. None of them are leaving alive!"


    Jameson''s face darkened as he watched Archie make the call. He turned stiffly to Tiana. "Look what you''ve done. There was no need for this. You''ve dragged Andrew into our fight for nothing."


    Tiana just smirked. "Jameson, open your eyes and watch carefully. You''ve got no idea how much more capable our precious son-inw ispared to you."


    With a bright smile, she strolled over to Andrew and gave him a dazzling look. "Andy, thank you for saving me tonight."


    "When we get home, I''ll make you some special soup-to help boost your energy," she added with a wink.


    Andrew said nothing, but deep down, he sighed and muttered silently, ''This crazy


    woman...''


    Tiana suddenly lifted her high heel and drove it straight into Archie''s groin with a vicious stomp. A loud, stomach-churning crack echoed through the courtyard, and every man who heard it visibly winced and recoiled.


    "Y-You... bitch, you''re heartless!" Archie gasped, face turning from bright red to a purplish-ck.


    Then, under the sheer agony, he let out a guttural scream, his eyes rolled back, and he passed out cold on the ground.


    Everyone around them stumbled backward, sucking in sharp breaths of horror. It finally hit them that Tiana really was as terrifying as the rumors said.


    Yet, none of them could figure out where the Rhodes family found the audacity to treat the Hopkins like garbage, stomping Archie''s manhood into a pulp.


    This was practically dering all-out war.


    Tiana turned around with a cheerful grin. "Andy, you might want to get ready. The Hopkins are about to roll in full force!"


    Andrew red at her. "Mrs. Rhodes, was it really necessary to push things this far?"


    Tiana raised a brow and said lightly, "Why not? You''re invincible anyway. At the very least, ruling all of Blumedale here in Gabo Creek should be a piece of cake, right?"


    Andrew took a long breath. Honestly, he could not even argue.


    Tiana knew his true identity-he was the Dragon Prince of the Lloyds. In a small city like Blumedale, he really could do whatever he wanted.


    "Fine," Andrew said atst. He turned


    to Jameson, Lauren, and C jent


    and said, "Let''s go inside and


    first. We''ll deal with the rest after dinner."


    There was no point bickering with Tiana anymore. Besides, it was pointless to


    dy since trouble woulde soon enough anyway.


    Cecelia shed a brilliant smile and said brightly, "You''re amazing, Andrew!"


    Tiana chuckled. "That''s right, little one! Keep calling him sweetly enough, and if you ask him nicely,


    he''ll probably pull the stars


    out of


    the sky for you!"


    Andrew rubbed his forehead, feeling a headacheing on. At this rate, this wild


    tigress of a mother-inw was going to squeeze him dry.
