---- Chapter 2171 Maxwell nced at Andrew with a questioning look. Andrew ignored him and rummaged through his bag instead. Then, he pulled out a bill and threw it directly at Elijah''s feet. He said, "This is my gesture of goodwill! Mr. Knowles, since you realize your mistake, I can''t just ignore it. Take this dor for your medical bill and go see a doctor." With that, Andrew took Chantelle''s hand and led the Garcia family away with confidence. Ophelia stared intensely at the dor bill on the ground, her eyes looking murderous as she hissed, "One dor? Thrown on the ground like that?
That bastard, he''s mocking you, Mr. Knowles. He''s treating you like some beggar!" Elijah stayed silent, his jaw clenched as his bloodshot eyes burned with rage. The humiliation was unbearable, and he almost wanted to kill someone on the spot. However, he held himself back, knowing a true man understood revenge could wait. Andrew had mocked and insulted him again and again. If he lost his temper now, he would be ying right into their hands and giving everyone else a show to watch. ---- Most importantly, his bodyguard was a martial saint-level fighter.
Yet, even he could not handle Andrew, which only meant he truly had some serious skills. So, if he wanted to destroy him, he would have to retreat behind the scenes and n more carefully. Maxwell watched Andrew leave withplicated feelings. He knew this tough guy from Gabo Creek was formidable, but he had not expected him to be this brazen. The Knowles family was not just anybody in Terror Town, and Maxwell honestly did not know who woulde out on top if they went head-to-head "Mr. Knowles, sometimes it''s better to avoid trouble.
Think it through when you get back, but my advice is not to act rashly. Enemies are better settled than made, and if this blows up, it might not look good for you," Maxwell said with a bitter smile. Elijah remained silent and turned to leave as well. Ophelia sneered coldly. She was Elijah''s secretary and also his woman, only she knew how terrifying and brutal he could be After such humiliation, if Elijah let this slide, he would not deserve to be called the Prince of Terror Town. It did not matter if Andrew was called King of Gabo Greek.
At the end of the day, he would surely pay the price in Terror Town ---- Back at home, Patrick and Sofia asked worriedly, "Andy, do you think this mess won''t spiral out of control?" Andrew replied casually, "What''s there to be afraid of? If Elijah wants to cause trouble, don''t we have you two to back us up? I remember you saying before that you''re quite the prominent family here in Terror Town." Sofia''s face twitched as she thought Chantelle''s boyfriend was really going to be the death of her. He kept targeting her at every turn, constantly getting under her skin.
Yet, she could not even lose her temper about it. Sofia said, "Andy, let me be straight with you. Yes, when you and Elle first arrived, I did look down on you. I apologize for that. The truth is, the Garcia family can only be considered decent in Terror Town, and we have some modest assets; that''s all. "But Elijah''s family is a first-tier powerhouse in Terror Town. If this really blows up, our family wouldn''t even register on their radar." Seeing Sofia humble herself like this, Andrew did not push her further. "Don''t worry.
I''ll handle this situation." And so, Andrew''s first night in Terror Town passed peacefully. Of course, the peace was only on the surface. ---- He had already shed with the city''s most powerful scion, and many people were now just waiting for the Knowles family''s wrath to sweep through all of Terror Town.<style>
