---- Chapter 2378 Elsie nodded quickly, her eyes bright with surprise. "Mr. Lloyd, does that mean we''ll see each other again?" Andrew smiled. "If I have the time, of course, we''ll meet again. It''s just that I''ve been pretty busytely." Elsie nodded understandingly. "! know, you''ve always been a busy man. Well, then, Mr. Lloyd and Ms. Reyes, I''ll get back to work. When you have time, pleasee visit again." Andrew chuckled lightly. "Definitely." Once Elsie left, Valerie crossed her arms, her face dark. "What the hell did you feed her? She''s practically hypnotized by you." Andrew shrugged.


    "Can''t help it. Some people are just naturally charming." Valerie let out a coldugh and tured to leave. She felt like she had been yed, and she was not the kind of woman who ever got yed. "Hold on." Andrew''s calm voice stopped her just as she reached the door. Valerie turned around, her tone sharp. "What now?" ---- Andrew smiled easily. "Ms. Reyes, no need to be so hostile. That attitude doesn''t really suit someone speaking to an eighth-grade Divine Alchemist." Valerie did not respond.


    Even with her pride, she could not help but lower her stance a little now that she knew who he really was. "There are two things," Andrew said slowly, as if her impatience did not bother him at all. "First, I want ess to your private trading event. Second, I want to know who was inside Suite No. 1 earlier." Valerie''s lips curled into a mocking smile. "No problem. Anyone who bids over a billion automatically qualifies for the private trading event. But that second question of yours is quite interesting. You really don''t know who was in Suite No. 1?


    Or are you just pretending not to?" Andrew''s expression stayed calm. "I know Mr. Vazquez was in there. But I''m asking about someone else." Valerie frowned. "You mean the one who spoke out against you earlier?" Andrew nodded, a dangerous glint shing in his eyes. "Exactly. That guy seemed even more agitated than Mr. Vazquez. Some dogs bark louder than their masters, and sometimes, they need to be reminded of their ce." ---- Valerie scoffed. "Andrew, don''t go looking for trouble. Mr. Vazquez doesn''t keep dogs under him. He keeps tigers, real Killers." Andrew waved a hand casually. "!


    don''t care if they''re dogs or tigers. Just tell me who he is." Valerie''s smile turned cold. "His name''s Jaden Horton. He''s ranked seventh on the Titan List. A lone martial artist with a terrifying reputation. He may not have reached the martial emperor level, but he''s gone toe-to-toe with one and held his ground. "Mr. Vazquez keeps him close because he''s useful. But among his followers, Jaden is only considered mid-tier. Think carefully before you do anything. Maybe you can handle Jaden, but the rest of Mr. Vazquez''s circle? They''ll crush you." Andrew just shrugged. "Thanks for the warning.


    Whether I want to pick that fight or not, that''s my business. No need for you to worry, Ms. Reyes." Valerie froze for a moment beforeughing coldly. She did not believe for a second that Andrew would dare to cross anyone in Guillermo''s ranks. Forget Guillermo, just Jaden alone was enough to make most people back off. From Valerie''s point of view, he was far more ---- terrifying than Ezekiel, the Tristars Group''s golden heir.<style>
