---- Chapter 2544 Melvin raised his hand and sneered. "Everyone, step back. I want to see what he''s going to do. Andrew, if you''ve got the guts, then kill me right now." Andrew''s lips curled into a cold grin. "Killing you wouldn''t be hard. But today, I don''t feel like it. Everything you saides down to one thing: your arrogance. You look down on Amari, don''t you? But Amari isn''t who he used to be. And with me as his senior, what gives you the right to look down on him?" Melvin replied, "So what if you''re here? What difference does that make?" Andrew lifted Melvin off the ground.


    Staring into his terrified eyes, he growled, "Listen carefully. You''re sitting in that position today partly because of me. When Mr. Vazquez called for a vote to decide who would take that seat, Philip from the military, my father, and I all voted for you. "But the major families and several of Mr. Vazquez''s people were strongly against it. You''ve spent years trying to figure out who helped you back then, haven''t you? You even went to the military yourself, asking around, but found nothing, right?" Melvin froze, his body trembling. "No, that''s impossible.


    Andrew, you were just a kid when that vote happened. I can understand ---- Mr. Lloyd Senior''s support since he was Mr. Vazquez''s chosen sessor. But you? You were barely grown. How could you have helped me?" Andrew scoffed and threw him aside. His smirk was taunting. " The three decisive votes came from my father, Philip, and one more from that mysterious organization. You haven''t forgotten about them, have you? Well, it''s time you knew that the final vote from the organization was mine." He added, "And do you know why I voted for you?


    Back when you first arrived in Chetvine, you were a nobody, a joke, really. But you had dreams. You said, ''For the sake of the world, for the people, to inherit the wisdom of the past and create peace for the future.'' "You were struggling, frustrated, and your career was going nowhere. As for me? I was already in a position to make almost every decision within that organization. So tell me, Melvin, what right do you have to act high and mighty in front of me? You look down on Amari and me, but honestly, I look down on you too.


    You once spoke about ideals and justice, yet now you''ve sold your soul for power and fame. Don''t you think that makes you a hypocrite?" Ondo suddenly shouted, "Andrew! Don''t you dare insult my father, or I''ll fight you!" Andrew did not even nce at him. He kept his eyes on Melvin ---- and said, "Whether it''s an insult or the truth, ask your father. Oh, and let me remind you of something else... After you started climbing thedder in Chetvine, your family, all 30 or so of them, moved from your remote hometown to join you.


    On the way, they were ambushed more than once, weren''t they?" Melvin''s face went pale. "Y-You know about that too?" Andrew, are you telling me you really were part of that organization?"<style>
