Chapter 1066
Butch and Spike rushed to Aidanโs side, panic etched on their faces.
โMr. Haywood Senior, are you alright?โ
โPlease, hang in there, sir!โ
Kenny and Sherilyn looked horrified. If Anaโs sneak attack had succeeded, the entire day would have been a disastrous failure.
โThat filthy bitch couldnโt hurt me even if I handed her the opportunity,โ Aidan growled, ignoring the small patch of blood on his chest. His face contorted in a storm of fury.
Jameson stared at Tiana in disbelief. โTiana, so you werenโt reallyโโ
Tiana cut him off sharply. โYou idiot! Did you seriously think Iโd stoop that low? Ignore a handsome man like you to curry favor with that wrinkled sack of rot? You think I could stomach that?โ
Jameson felt a rush of surprise and relief, quickly replaced by frustration. โIf you were going to strike, why didnโt you tell me first?โ
โNo time for that crap,โ Tiana replied, her voice sharp. โWe need to get ready now. That old dogโs gonna lose his damn mind!โ
Aidan was already exploding with rage, his roar shaking the hall.
โButch! Spike! Kill every last member of the Rhodes! And as for Tianaโthat bitch lives, but sheโll beg for death when Iโm done with her!โ
Kenny and Sherilyn jumped forward, excited. โMr. Haywood Senior, please! Do it! The family head seat is all I ask; you can have anything else you desire!โ
Tianaโs ambush had terrified them, and they were taking no chances. Preserving the family no longer mattered; they wanted to crush Jameson and Tiana as quickly as possible. Tiana, more than anyone, now terrified them.
On the other side of the hall, Rhodes family elites like Jerry charged Butch and Spike. One by one, they fell. Most didn't survive a single exchangeโarms broken, legs shattered, howling in pain. Jerryโs eyes widened in shock. Aidanโs disciples were peak grandmasters.
How could the Rhodes family survive this disaster?
Andrew remained motionless. Tianaโs strike had been flawless, but the skill disparity between her and Aidan was insurmountable. Aidan wasn't a full-fledged martial king, but he stood on the precipice. Tiana, while a semi-martial king and the Rhodes family's strongest warrior, was still a step behind. She couldn't turn the tide.
Rhodes fighters fell one by one as Butch and Spike tore through them.
Even Jerry received a crushing kick to the chest from Butch, collapsing in defeat, blood spewing from his mouth. Jameson clenched his fists, ready to join the fight, but Tiana stopped him. โWith your strength, stay back. Youโll only throw your life away. Let me handle this.โ
Jamesonโs face flushed with shame. He silently cursed, Damn it, Tianaโs protecting me instead of the other way aroundโit hurts my pride.
All he could do was pray the Rhodes family survived. If they did, he'd find Andrew and demand more of those powerful pills. Then, maybe, he could finally give Tiana the night she deserved.
As chaos erupted, Andrew pulled Jameson from the front lines.
โAndy, why are you still here?โ Jameson gasped. โWeโre holding them offโgo now, while you still can!โ
Andrew smiled. โMr. Rhodes, Iโm not in a rush.โ
Jamesonโs face darkened. โNot in a rush? Didnโt you hear what I said? If something happens to me and Tiana, Iโm counting on you to take care of Lauren!โ
Andrew replied calmly, โDonโt worry, Mr. Rhodes. As long as Iโm here, nothing will happen to the Rhodes family.โ Jameson doubted this. What could Andrew do alone?
Maybe one day Andrew would matureโbut not now.
Jameson had no time to argue. He returned to the battle, fully focused.
Tiana faced both of Aidanโs disciples alone. After several rounds, she was deadlocked, unable to gain an advantage. Her heart sank. Even as a semi-martial king, she couldn't defeat them.
Aidan sneered. โMy apprentices are twin siblings, perfectly synced. Together, even you are no match for them, Tiana.โ
Butch and Spike launched a fierce counterattack, forcing Tianaโs retreat. With each second, her heart grew heavier. If she couldnโt defeat Aidanโs apprentices, what chance would she have against Aidan himself? Would anyone in the Rhodes family be able to resist?
