---- Chapter 2450 Andrew nced outside for a moment. Then, he turned back into his shabby little house as if nothing had happened. Afterward, he began practicing Fang and w''s Demise. After all, one would have to learn to walk before one could run. If Andrew was going to kill Jaden, it was better to sharpen the right skill first. For an entire day, Jaden''s people hurled insults across from the Lloyd family estate''s gate. Gradually, many of Chetvine''s scions began joining in to mock Andrew. "Isn''t the Lloyd family''s Dragon Prince supposed to be all high and mighty?
He came back to Chetvine acting so cocky, but now he''s cowering like a dog. Is he just all bark and no bite?" Another scoffed loudly. "Please, Mr. Horton''s ranked top ten on the Titan List. Andrew is probably pissing himself in there!" Two days passed, and Jaden''s insults grew nastier, spreading across social media. Yet, no one saw Andrew appear at the gate, which only fueled more mockery. "That coward! I don''t believe he can hide forever!" Jaden had lost his patience, ring at the gate. He roared a few more curses and finally stormed off in frustration.<fnb5b5> This update is avable on fin?novel</fnb5b5>
---- However, hisckeys stayed behind to keep smearing Andrew''s name. Ravencrest Manor was located in the heart of Chetvine, Holtrien''s shining capital. It was also where Guillermo resided. "I heard that recently, Jaden''s been butting heads with that young man from the Lloyd family?" Guillermo, who appeared to be in his early 40s with a pale, beardless face, asked with a smile as he strolled along thekeside. Beside him was a strikingly handsome middle-aged man. Even though he was no longer young, this man was so handsome that hemanded admiration.
In terms of looks, he was only slightly inferior to Andrew, just a tiny bit. He chuckled and replied, "That''s true. Jaden has a rash personality and a hot temper. Wasn''t he attacked in the alley before? He suspects it was the Dragon Prince who did it, so he''s, going after him." Guillermo''s smile remained unchanged. "Who do you think did it? The man''s expression gradually grew serious. After pondering ---- for a moment, cold light shed in his eyes. "I think it was Andrew, too. Besides him, I can''t think of anyone else." Guillermo shook his head.
"Don''t jump to conclusions without solid evidence. You know I hate it when people say things like'' probably'' or ''most likely'' in front of me. If you don''t have real proof, don''t specte blindly." He continued, "Andrew isn''t really a concern. But the Lloyd family is no pushover. The game I''m ying right now is already overwhelming me. If Donovan gets upset and messes with me a couple of times, I might have to take it out on you guys to vent." The middle-aged man looked rmed. "Yes, of course.
Since you''ve said that, I''ll tell Jaden toe back and stop causing trouble." Guillermo waved his hand. "It''s fine. Since things have already escted, let him keep at it. It''s a good opportunity to test where Donovan''s limits of patience lie." The man was shocked. "Mr. Vazquez, you mean Patriarch Donovan might actually hold a grudge against Jaden?" Guillermo shook his head. "Hard to say about Donovan, but Sheena will definitely be pissed. If that violent woman makes a move, Jaden will surely be dead." The middle-aged man snorted coldly.
"If Sheena kills Jaden, that ---- would be openly going against you, Mr. Vazquez. She can''t afford the consequences." Guillermo said tly, "We''ll see. I also want to know how things will develop. But it''ll probably go as I expect." The middle-aged man humbly asked, "May I ask what you think will happen, Mr. Vazquez?"<style>
