---- Chapter 3245 Footsteps suddenly sounded behind Andrew, steady and unhurried. He frowned, thinking that it was Nyx or Luna. However, in the next instant, he knew it was neither of them. Andrew spun around sharply, his gaze turning cold. Less than 30 feet behind him stood a man with both hands hidden inside wide, flowing sleeves. He wore an umon loose training outfit, tall and lean, with a sallowplexion. Only his eyes shone with sharp brilliance, clearly belonging to someone with terrifyingly deep cultivation.
m Pablo Hearst, the current head of the Hearst family of the Hearsnds," the man said calmly as he looked at Andrew. Andrew took a deep breath, then let it out slowly, and extended his hand. "Come on then. I just finished warming up." Pablo did not respond and instead studied Andrew carefully for a moment. Then, he said in a low voice, "You''re injured. I can wait two days. The Hearst family never takes advantage of the wounded." Andrew grinned. "No need. Whether I am injured or not, as long as I am not dead, I can still fight." ---- Pablo frowned and snorted.
"You should know I am not someone Nate can bepared to. As for Wyatt, whom you just fought, he was indeed beyond my expectations, a peak martial god. But I would say I am still half a step above Wyatt. With your current injuries, fighting me will put you at a serious disadvantage." Andrew burst outughing as his aura surged upward. "Why so long-winded? Come on.
You traveled all the way from the Hearsnds just to stop me, and for that effort alone, I owe you a proper fight right here." Pablo replied, "If not for your methods and actions breaking the unspoken rules my Hearst family tolerates... Andrew, the Hearst family has no personal grudge against you. Besides, Franz once owed you and Reginald a great debt, so by all logic, I shouldn''t be standing against you. But as I said, you crossed the ling Andrew answered calmly, "Crossing the line or not depends on who set the line. You call it crossing because you made the rules.
If I set the rules instead, then you''d be the ones considered crossing the line." Pablo took a deep breath and withdrew his hands from his sleeves. Andrew''s gaze sharpened as he saw that Pablo''s hands were not flesh at all. They gleamed with metallic light, flickering faintly as ---- the light shifted. "Diamond Body Art. The Hearst family really lives up to its reputation," Andrew said in a low voice, without the slightest retreat. Pablo advanced step by step, his presence rising with each stride. "You recognize my martial path, which means you are no ordinary opponent either.
Today, the Hearst family will see for itself just how monstrous the rising star of the Lloyd royal family truly is. "Andrew, you''re right. Rules are made by the strong. The weak can only live by the rules of the strong. But if you can be strong, or even surpass the strong, then your rules be the tules." With a thunderous shout, Pablo reached his peak aura. The stone bs beneath his feet shattered instantly, and his figure vanished from where he stood. A massive diamond fist shadow expanded before Andrew''s eyes. In an instant, it engulfed himpletely.
At the end of the street stood Chetvine''s famousndmark, the Skytower. Two people stood at the top: Guillermo and Lorenzo. ---- Lorenzomented, "Mr. Vazquez, Patriarch Pablo has made his move." Guillermo replied, "Indeed. Pablo has never lost a fight in his life and has never faced Reginald either. So in this battle, he has no reason to lose. Especially since this little bastard was already injured at the Cunningham estate. The oue is obvious."
