---- Chapter 2596 Indeed, Andrew had already slipped away quietly. He could not stay any longer, because after witnessing Alfredo''s terrifying power up close, he realized that if he did not act soon, he would end up as helpless as a pig waiting for ughter. Moreover, judging by Alfredo''s demeanor, it was clear he intended to finish Sheena off. It made sense, especially given that Alfredo was a giant among martial artists. There was no way he could afford to be challenged without retribution. Allowing a challenger to live would meanpromising his pride and authority.
Nheless, Andrew did not me Sheena for this. After all, he was just like her, maybe even worse. "Andrew, where are you headed?" Just as Andrew was walking with his head down toward the exit of Swordhaven Keep, a mocking voice called out to him from behind. He put ona cold smile as he slowly turned around. "Well, if it isn''t Jericho. I''m just wandering around because I got bored." Andrewughed it off and replied casually. ---- Beside Jericho stood two other young men, their expressions. nk. Judging by their prominently bulging temples, they clearly were not ordinary people.
The two nked Jericho on either side and came directly before Andrew. Then, they spread their stances, subtly surrounding Andrew. Jericho smiled without warmth. "Ms. Lloyd is currently fighting my father. Don''t you care about her safety?" Andrew acted as if he did not notice the three men''s intentions and smiled. "What''s the point of worrying? Mr. Topsfield Senior''s swordsmanship is famous across the continent.
The only thing I can do is hope he doesn''t seriously harm her." A mocking glint shed in Jericho''s eyes as he said with false concern, "In that case, why are you wasting time wandering around? You shoulde back with us quickly. That way, if Ms. Lloyd gets injured, you can lend a hand." Andrew nodded. "You''re right. I really should go back." Jericho was stunned, not expecting Andrew to agree so readily. The three of them had followed him out precisely to prevent him from escaping Swordhaven Keep if things went south.
Now that he was being so reasonable and sensible, it saved him the trouble of getting physical. ---- The two young men beside him were also Alfredo''s sons. Both were strong in their own right, though still a step below Jericho Their loyalty to him was clear, and while they acted respectfully in front of him, they did not bother to hide their disdain toward Andrew. Landon Topsfield on the left said sarcastically, "I''ve long heard that Chetvine''s so-called Lloyd family''s Dragon Prince, born with unmatched talent, they said. Seeing you in person, though...
What a disappointment." Kairo Topsfield, the one on the right, snorted. "If it weren''t for Swordhaven Keep being so far from Chetvine, I''d have shown you just how useless you are. To us, the Dragon Prince would be nothing but a pushover. I''m just being honest, Andrew... No hard feelings." Andrew smiled very amiably. "It''s no big deal. You''re all outstanding young men, after all. If someone has that much talent, it''s only right to enjoy life and be confident. Otherwise, what''s the point of all that strength, right?" Landon burst intoughter. "See, Jericho? You were worried for nothing.
Turns out the great Dragon Prince is just a loser who knows his ce." Kairo stepped forward and gave Andrew a shove, his voice filled with irritation. "Come on, get moving. Until the duel''s over, ---- neither you nor Sheena is leaving Swordhaven Keep."<style>
