---- Chapter 2860 The leader fell silent for a moment before answering, "! believe he is worthy. So whatever you decide to do, it''s best if you handle this personally, Mr. Gillen." On the other end, Petyr paused, then replied tly, "Bring him to me." The leader hung up and turned respectfully to Andrew. "Sir, pleasee with us. Mr. Gillen wants to see you." Andrew smiled. Smart people were so much easier to deal with. A proper show of strength sometimes went a long way. At the very least, it could keep your opponent from getting hot-headed and throwing their life away for nothing.
Ten minutester, Andrew stepped out of the vehicle. He had arrived at the administrative district in the northern part of the City of Hope. The leader guided him forward while subtly ncing at the massive sword on Andrew''s back He thought anyone who could wield a weapon like that was no ordinary person. Thank goodness Petyr had not lost his mind and ordered an attack on Andrew. Otherwise, he would have had no choice but to start looking for a new employer. At the top of a towering pyramid-like structure, Andrew met ---- Petyr.
The man stood with his back to Andrew, both hands resting on the balcony railing as he gazed out over the entire city. Petyr said casually, "Since you came from far away, my friend, do you find the City of Hope beautiful?" Andrew replied tly, "It''s got nothing to do with beauty. It''s filthy, chaotic, and violent. The upper ss is crushing everyone below, and the bottom tiers are backstabbing each other ina constant fight to survive." Petyr, wrapped in red robes and barefoot, seemed to pause for a moment, thenughed. "You''ve got guts.
But that alone isn''t enough to make me spare you." With that, Petyr turned around. When Andrew faced this powerful figure of the City of Hope head -on, he narrowed his eyes slightly. The crimson glow in Petyr''s eyes and his vertical pupils sent a bone-deep chill through Andrew in an instant. But that was all it did. "So, you''re not even human," Andrew said with a smile. " Interesting. The City of Hope really is inclusive." He mocked, "If this were Holtrien''s territory, a creature like you would have been wiped out long ago." ---- Petyr replied coldly, "That was not funny.
I am a noble vampire, far superior to humans like you. You arrived in the City of Hope and caused such chaos the moment you stepped in. You could have attacked anyone, yet you chose my forces. "Even if you are exceptional, a powerful Holtrien martial artist, you will still die today. Arrogance requires knowing where you stand and who you stand before. I can smell the sweetness in your blood. So now you have two choices. Kneel and swear loyalty to me, or wait for me to tear your body apart." Andrew looked bored. "You vampires always loved this kind of shy nonsense.
Putting aside whether I even took you seriously ... You want me to kneel and swear loyalty to you?" Heughed softly. "Do you really think a beast like you was worthy of that?" Petyr''s bones began to writhe and shift beneath his skin. The fury and cold malice in his eyes surged to their peak. "I will tear you apart." With a feral roar, he began his transformation right in front of Andrew. His mouth split wide, revealing razor-sharp fangs. The skin around his eyes tore and stretched, turning his gaze long and vicious.
His face no longer looked human, as coarse fur spread across roughened skin. ---- In an instant, Petyr grew nearly half a man taller. His red robe shredded apart, exposing bulging muscles, while his limbs twisted and sharpened into hooked, predatory forms.
