---- Chapter 2360 "Mr. Lloyd, please... wait!" Joaquin panicked when he saw Andrew refusing to budge. He wanted to stop him but did not dare, and he could only watch helplessly as Andrew walked away. Grinding his teeth, he turned to Enzo and urged, "Mr. Reyes, we can''t let this slip away!" Enzo was already tempted. He hated Andrew and wanted to put him in his ce, but his dislike did not extend to the ninth-grade supreme elixir Andrew had revealed. Everyone knew such pills were priceless.
In the Reyes family''s auction house, even with their reach and wealth, a ninth-grade elixir was a once-in-a- lifetime treasure. Only Sovereign''s Apothecary could produce them in Chetvine, and they never brought their pills here to sell. No one that smart would hand such treasures over to the Reyes family. Clenching his jaw, Enzo rushed forward and blocked Andrew''s path. "Fine, leave the pills here and let our auction house handle the rest. But let me be clear: the house takes at least half the cut.
And as for that ninth-grade Marble Essence Pill, we''ll buy it directly." His tone carried no hint of negotiation; it was amand. ---- In Enzo''s mind, there was nothing wrong with this. The Grand Auction House was under his control. Even patriarchs and martial saints treated him with respect here, so why should hepromise? However, Joaquin shook his head furiously. The manager sent from the family headquarters was young and clearly had no experience in business. With his arrogant posture, why would Andrew ever agree?
And more importantly, this was not just anyone; this was the Lloyd family''s Dragon Prince, a figure whose status was untouchable in Chetvine. Andrew chuckled. "Half the cut? And you want my ninth-grade elixir? Why don''t you pull down your pants and take a piss on your own reflection, see if that ugly mug of yours has the right to even ask?" Enzo flushed bright red, rage boiling over. "Bastard, don''t push your luck! If it weren''t for that ninth-grade elixir, I''d have thrown you out already. This is the Reyes family''s turf, not yours.
And just because others fear the Dragon Prince doesn''t mean the Reyes family fears you "You came here, which means you need me. So I back down a little, you back down a little, and we both make money. Otherwise, we both lose. What can you gain then?" ---- Andrew nodded lightly and suddenly asked, "Enzo... That''s your name, right?" Enzo puffed his chest, arrogance brimming. "That''s right, it''s mine. This entire auction house is under mymand. You should know how much power I hold. And let''s be real... You''re carrying a treasure that paints a target on your back.
If I decide to leak word that you have a ninth-grade elixir, how many reckless lunatics do you think wille hunting you down?" Just as he said that, Andrew''s palm cracked across his face. His head rang, blood sprayed from his nose, and he was sent flying across the floor. "Mr. Reyes!" Daphne and Joaquin both gasped in shock, their voices shaking. Enzo scrambled on the ground, wiping at his bloody face, ready to explode in fury. However, before he could even rise, Andrew stepped forward and mmed a boot down on his chest, pinning him t. Andrew said coldly, "Don''t tter yourself.
You''re just a manager. Even if you were the Reyes family''s heir, you''d still be nothing but dog shit in my eyes. You don''t believe me? Go ask him about my temper back when I ran through Chetvine." His voice turned sharper, and his eyes burned like ice. "Trash like ---- you thinks you can threaten me, or covet what''s mine? Even if I handed it to you on a silver tter, do you think you''d dare take it" Enzo''''s body convulsed as Andrew pressed harder, forcing another mouthful of blood to spew from him. ''You..." His eyes bulged with fury, words trembling on his lips.<fn1d99> For original chapters go to find·novel</fn1d99>
He wanted to curse, to threaten again. Yet, one look at Andrew''s killing gaze, and the words died in his throat, swallowed with terror.<style>
