---- Chapter 3176 In just a few moments, the guests in the main hall stood up and took their leave. Alfredo was known for his unpredictable temper. One second, he could be smiling, and the next second, he could turn hostile. No one could withstand his authority, so they obediently retreated one by one. Yet, as they left, they noticed Andrew and his group entering. The prominent figures of the Eastern Regions all showed puzzled expressions. They all wondered if these people were not afraid of Alfredo''s wrath.
Soon, only Andrew''s group and Alfredo, seated on the main throne, remained in the hall. For a moment, neither side spoke another word. Suddenly, a number of Swordhaven Keep disciples swarmed They shouted a stream of curses at Andrew and the others, brandishing their weapons with eyes zing in anger. Andrew ignored thempletely, his expression gradually turning icy. Seeing this, Alfredo''s heart quivered, and he said coldly, "All of ---- you, step back.
This is none of your concern." Among the disciples who entered, one was his son, though not Jericho, the one Andrew had pped unconscious. "Father, these insolent fools dare to barge in before you. They deserve death. Let me tear them to pieces!" Alfredo suddenly roared, "Get out! Are you deaf?" His son froze, stunned by the shout, then obediently retreated. No one dared to challenge Alfredo''s authority. The disciples all waited just outside the hall, ready to receive orders at any moment. Unbeknownst to them, Alfredo was growing increasingly tense and uneasy.
Among the disciples who had entered was his own son. He believed that if they really fought Andrew, the ruthless man who had suddenly arrived, his lineage would end there and then. The hand gripping his sword gradually tightened, his knuckles turning pale. If it had been Alfredo in the past, he would have already swung his sword in a shy and domineering strike. But today, he forced himself to endure it, no matter what, refusing to provoke trouble. ---- He carefully examined the people behind Andrew one by one. Franz, Conrad, and Kyrie were not worth worrying about.
Among them, Conrad of the Cunningham family and Kyrie of the Harding family were familiar to Alfredo. After all, as the number one figure in Holtrien''s Eastern Regions, he was not ignorant of the power structures in Chetvine. He did not recognize Franz, but the man''s calm demeanor made Alfredo wary. But what truly made him break out in a cold sweat was Nyx. As for Luna and Valerie, there was no need to mention them. These two women were both prodigies of Chetvine, but Alfredo was not exactly afraid of them. Then, there was Nyx with her Western features, stunning beauty, and cold expression.
Her mere presence at Andrew''s side was enough to make Alfredo''s eyes burn. ''That woman is a martial god with terrifying strength. How does Andrew have such a powerful expert helping him? Alfredo''s thoughts raced rapidly. With a light chuckle, he looked at Andrew. "You''vee to visit without giving advance notice. If you''d said something earlier, as your host, I could have prepared properly to wee you!" ---- Andrew smiled. "We can skip the pleasantries, and you can just get on your knees and beg me.
That would be more appropriate!" Ignoring Alfredo''s suddenly frigid expression, Andrew strode toward the master seat and casually sat down in the position that rightfully belonged to Alfredo.
