Oswald tried to break free with all his might, but he could not summon any
strength as Andrewpletely suppressed him. With a fierce shout, he erupted
with another flood of power, yet his hand gripping the cane remainedpletely
motionless.
Andrew''s grip on the cane did not budge an inch. It was as if the weight of a
mountain pinned it down.
Oswald''s eyes widened in disbelief. "Y-Your martial strength is stronger than
mine?"
Andrew''s palm mmed into his chest with devastating force. The impact sent
Oswald screaming as he flew backward through the air, throwing up a mouthful of
blood.
His voice dripped with contempt as he said, "You''re nothing but an ant. Did you
really think I was afraid of the Ackermann family? Afraid of you? This could''ve
been a minor issue. None of this would''ve happened if your family had just paid
back what you owed.
"But instead, you pulled dirty tricks, with father and sons taking turns putting on
this pathetic show! Now, I''ll show you just how easy it is for me to crush the
Ackermann family."
He withdrew his hand, his voice ice-cold as he did not even nce at the utterly
terrified Oswald.
One after another, phone calls began flooding into Ackermann Pharmaceutical
headquarters.
Martha answered each call, and with every conversation, she looked more
thunderstruck, her face turning ashen like a corpse.
"S-Sir, something terrible has happened-no, everything''s gone wrong!" she
stammered in panic.
"The bank has frozen 300 million dors of our liquid assets! 107 out of the 108
members of the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce have jointly issued
statements to boycott and cklist the Ackermanns!"
The news kept getting worse as she continued, "And at the hospital, someone''s
holding a gun to Mr. Abel''s head, demanding that you kneel and apologize, or
they''ll send him to meet his maker!"
The final blow hit like a sledgehammer.
This string of catastrophic news caused Oswald''s already frail body to sway. With
a loud thud, he could no longer support himself and copsed to his knees before
Andrew.
"Mr. Lloyd, the Ackermann family is sorry. We were wrong! Please, spare us.
Please... I''m begging you!"
Andrew sneered. "Oh, so now you
know you were wrong? Don''t you
think it''s a littlete, Mr. Ackermann
Senior? If an apology could solve
everything, then what if I ughtered
your entire family first, and then
apologized afterward? Would that be
okay with you?"
Oswald coughed up another mouthful of blood, eyes darkening as the room spun
around him.
"To be able to mobilize the entire board of the Gabo Creek Chamber of
Commerce... Andrew, you''ve be the chairman of the Gabo Creek Chamber
of Commerce, haven''t you?"
Andrew did not answer the question directly. Instead, he walked over and looked
down at the broken man from his towering position.
"I told you from the beginning that the Ackermann family picked the wrong person
to mess with! Mr. Ackermann Senior, tell me do I still need to take responsibility
for your idiot eldest son''s life or death?"
Oswald shook his head frantically, nearly scared out of his wits. "No need,
absolutely no need! Mr. Lloyd, what are you saying? Abel is nothing but an animal
who brought this on himself!"
The chairman of the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce was the absolute titan of
the province''s business world. Before such an existence, the Ackermann family
did not even have the right to breathe.
Andrew nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, I hope you''ll transfer the
money to mypany''s ount as
soon as possible! Additionally, I
originally had no grudge against the
Ackermann family, so I''d like to ask
what Abel''s deal was in trying to
mess with me."
Oswald let out a bitterugh.
"Everything happened because of
Cillian Ulrich. He didn''t just approach
the Ackermann family! He contacted
every single business partner that
has dealings with Supreme Capital
Group, using his connections to
demand they join forces in
sanctioning yourpany!"
Andrew''s expression remained calm. "Excellent! Logan, we''re going to the Ulrich
residence!"
