---- Chapter 2523 Andrew''s smile was radiant. "Same old form, same old smell. Go ahead and massage. I''ve been pretty tiredtely. If you doa good job and make me feelfortable, I''ll arrange for that Life- Sustaining Elixir for your grandpa." Emir exploded. "In your dreams!" Saul roared, "Do as he says, right now!" He felt bad for his son, but not enough to stop him. Smelling someone''s feet was a small pricepared to the Life- Sustaining Elixir. Isabelle tried tofort him. "Emir, just give Andrew a foot massage. He can make the Life-Sustaining Elixir for Grandpa... That''s huge!
You''re not really losing anything. Besides, your temper''s always been too fiery. Maybe this''ll help you cool down alittle." Emir was speechless at her reasoning. Eventually, he still forced asmile and said, "Wow, you''re so thoughtful, Belle." He grabbed Andrew''s foot and began pressing down. In his mind, he imagined the foot as two soft stress balls. He squeezed, then squeezed harder. If only he could crush them both. ---- Mika and Theon werepletely stunned What the hell? Did Andrew just dominate the entire Robertson family like that?
While enjoying the massage, Andrew peeled an orange, tossed the whole piece into his mouth, and mumbled, "So, Mr. Robertson Senior, about what I mentioned earlier... The Robertson family''s order... Why don''t you let Medicine God''s Covenant handle it instead? Our price will be lower than that of Sovereign''s Apothecary. How about that?" Saul snorted. "You''re still thinking about that? And what about the Life-Sustaining Elixir? Can you guarantee the Robertson family will actually get it?" Andrew nodded. "Of course.
As long as we finalize everything between us and sign the contracts and guarantees, and then the Robertson family provides the materials and meets the other conditions, I can produce the Life-Sustaining Elixir within two weeks." Saul''s eyes showed hesitation. Finally, he said, "Alright, we''ll do as you say. But Andrew, if we don''t get that Life-Sustaining Elixir, you''re as good as dead. I guarantee you that as the head of this family." Andrew waved dismissively. "Don''t worry, Mr. Robertson Senior. ---- I value my life greatly.<fn0173> The rightful source is find[?]ovel</fn0173>
Without absolute confidence, I wouldn''t havee to you to stir things up." Suddenly, chaos erupted nearby. People gasped and shouted. Isabelle rushed over, panicked. "Emir!" Andrew turned around and was speechless. Emir, the self-proimed tough guy, had fainted on the spot. He was even foaming at the mouth. Andrew thought, ''Seriously? Was the massage that intense?'' He could not understand what exactly Emir had suffered. Isabelle looked distraught. "I forgot to mention that Emir''s allergic to strong odors. It must''ve been your foot smell that knocked him out cold." Andrew''s lips twitched.
"That''s got nothing to do with me!" Mika and Theon could not watch any longer. They stormed out, fuming. "That bastard!" "That damn crook!" Theon cursed furiously the moment he stepped outside. Mika did not even bother to calm him down this time ---- because her heart felt just as heavy. "Mr. Orben, first it was Iron Sword Sect, and now it''s the Robertson family. Andrew''s Medicine God''s Covenant is actually securing such major partners. This is definitely not good news for Sovereign''s Apothecary." Theon''s face was dark as fury zed in his eyes. "Let''s go back Once we report to Mr.
Sterling, Andrew won''t live to see another day. If he wants to y dirty, then Sovereign''s Apothecary will show him what dirty really means."<style>
