---- Chapter 2714 The next day, Koda came to Flying Peak, unting his new authority as director. Behind him, elite martial artists followed in his wake. Nearly all the elders from the Advanced Medical Institute had been ordered by him toe along. What was interesting was that Koda''s greatsword, which Lorenzo had previously shattered, had been reced with a new one that Rusty was carrying. Gone were the power struggles within the Advanced Medical Institute. Yet here Koda was, as the new director, bringing weapons with him, which was rather telling. Heughed and said, "Where''s Mr.
Lloyd? Last night we had a feast that went all night. He was the biggest hero, yet he''s not here. I need to give him a few more drinks today." Koda smiled with apparent sincerity, as if his intentions werepletely innocent. Eric replied tly, "He''s inside. If there''s anything, you can tell me." Koda shook his head. "No can do. I need to speak with Mr. Lloyd and ask him if everything''s going smoothly. He''s taking so many of our alchemists... Surely he should at least give me a heads up. ---- By the end, his voice had turned cold. Eric''s expression tuned mocking. "Sure.
You can go find him and have a private chat, but only you alone." Kodaughed. "Eric, you must be pulling my leg. This is. Advanced Medical Institute territory, and I go where I want. I bring whoever I want. How can you tell me I have to go alone? Don''t tell me I can''t call the shots on my own turf?" The air was already thick with tension. Eric''s face darkened, about to shoot back with a taunt. In his eyes, Koda was nothing but aplete waste of space and a murderous lunatic. If Andrew and Jerome were not holding him back, he would not show Koda any respect.
Just then, Jerome walked over with a smile. "Please, go ahead. Your men as well." Koda grinned. "Now that''s more like it. Mr. Thorton, you know how to handle things properly." Leading his people, he headed straight for the building atop Flying Peak. ---- Eric turned back, snorting coldly. "Dad, this bastard is openly provoking us. Looks like he''s not taking this well." Jerome said casually, "Some people act polite before they seed. Once they''ve made it, they think all the credit belongs to them alone, and then they get cocky." Eric frowned. "He even brought weapons and his.
Should we go over there, just in case?" Jerome replied calmly, "No need. Andy is more than capable of handling everything. Koda only has brute strength going for him, but in the face of absolute power and in our friend''s eyes, he''s nothing!" In front of the building on Flying Peak, Andrew sat on the wooden steps, facing the sunlight as he polished Godyer. This divine de did not actually need polishing at all; its de gleamed as if it had just been forged. In the sunlight, it reflected elegant halos, a perfect blend of grace and killing intent.
No one needed to be told it was a masterpiece On the balcony behind him, Mika sat in a chair, watching Koda and his people approach. Her eyes flicked subtly toward Andrew''s back, though no one knew what she was thinking. ---- Koda walked over with a polite greeting. "Mr. Lloyd, sorry to disturb you." Then, he asked, "Those 28 alchemists of yours... They''ve already made it down the mountain safely, right?"<style>
