---- Chapter 2502 "Andrew, this is our chance!" Inside the Medicine God''s Covenant, Amari excitedly approached Andrew. "Slow down," Andrew said calmly, his tone steady as ever. His body still ached from his injuries, and he could not move too much. Amari leaned in eagerly. "The Sovereign''s Apothecary will be negotiating with their major clients in the next few days. The oue will decide whether they can keep those big contracts. I had heard that their first round of talks had already failed, and sure enough, this morning, Theon himself showed up.<fnc61e> ?????? ???? find·novel</fnc61e>
Looks like they''re in serious trouble sealing those deals." Andrew''s eyes lit up as he nodded. "You''re right. Their trouble could be our opportunity. But we''ll need a proper n to seize it. Do you know which clients Sovereign''s Apothecary is negotiating with?" Amari nodded. "Of course I do. I''ve worked at the Sovereign''s Apothecary for years, and I was part of several of those deals myself. First is the Robertson family. They''ve been frustrated with Sovereign''s Apothecary''s pricing for years.
Every year, they ce nearly half a billion dors in orders, and this time, they''ve ---- had enough of the markup. The deal''s been stalled for months. "The second one is the Iron Sword Sect, one of the biggest factions under the Northern Martial Union. And thest is the influential Webster family from Chetvine. None of those three contracts has been finalized yet. Andrew, I think we should go for it." Andrew thought for a moment, then a confident smile spread across his face. "You''re right. We''ve got this." Amari looked startled. "Andrew, don''t get ahead of yourself.
Those three have been Sovereign''s loyal partners for years. We''re neers with no reputation. Why would they trust us? "My n is simple. I have strong ties with the Webster family. As for the Iron Sword Sect and the Robertson family, we can forget about those for now. If we can just win over the Webster family, that''ll be enough for Medicine God''s Covenant to take its first step forward." Andrew shook his head, "One client isn''t enough. Here''s what we''ll do: you''ll handle the Webster family, and I''l go after the Robertsons and Iron Sword Sect. We''ll split up." Amari hesitated.
"You''re really going to the Robertsons? They were the ones who tried to kill you back then. If you show up, it''ll just stir up old hatred. I say let it go." ---- Andrew smiled faintly. "Old enemies can be allies. Times change. Besides, the Robertsons only acted under pressure back then as they were manipted by others. My dad exined all that to me long ago. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have treated Isabelle so kindly afterward. Enough talk. Let''s move. This time, I''ll make Theon learn what defeat tastes like." Amari grinned. "Alright then, I''ll head to the Webster family.
Oh, by the way, Theon''s currently with the Iron Sword Sect. You might want to avoid him and go to the Robertsons first." Andrew gave a cold smirk. "Avoid him? Why would I? If he''s with Iron Sword Sect, that''s exactly where I''m going. I''ll go head-to- head with him." The Iron Sword Sect was one of the most renowned martial orders under the Northern Martial Union. Its leader, Devin Kan, ranked among the top on the Titan List. Iron Sword Sect specialized in high-end security services. Its disciples were trained in martial arts from childhood, much like the northern monks.
After graduating, they were sent all over the world. Some became mercenaries, but most worked as personal bodyguards for high-profile clients under the sect''s name. Because of that, the Iron Sword Sect consumed an enormous amount of medicinal resources every year. It was no wonder Sovereign''s Apothecary was desperate to keep them as a client. ---- Half an hourter, Andrew''s beat-up car rolled out of Chetvine City and stopped at the mountain gate of Iron Sword Sect.<style>
