Chapter 1067

Sherilyn grinned. "Mr. Haywood, your two apprentices are truly extraordinary."

Aidan snorted proudly. "I don't even need to intervene. Keep watching—Tiana's defeat is only a matter of time. I told you the Rhodes family is a joke."

Suddenly, a voice from the crowd rang out: "Attack low!"

Tiana's heart leaped. Instead of retreating, she lunged forward, striking with both palms. Following the mysterious advice, she focused her assault on Butch and Spike's lower stances.

In seconds, their formation wobbled—slightly, but enough. The pressure on Tiana lifted, and she felt the change instantly. Seizing the opportunity, she cried out, shaped her fingers into claws, and brutally gouged their eyes.

Two blood-curdling screams echoed in perfect unison. Blood gushed from their eye sockets as Butch and Spike fell, instantly blinded and incapacitated. Tiana then grabbed them by the legs and kicked them across the hall.

"What the…," Kenny and Sherilyn stared in disbelief, turning to Aidan.

Aidan's gaze darkened, sweeping the crowd like a hawk. Someone had just guided Tiana. Who? Even after scanning every face, he couldn't pinpoint the voice. A flicker of doubt arose; he wondered if he'd imagined it.

Tiana, catching her breath, moved to Jameson's side.

"Are you alright, my love?" Jameson asked, concerned.

Tiana smiled faintly and shook her head. "I'm fine, don't worry." She glanced at Andrew with a suspicious, almost impressed look. That little punk's advice had actually worked. How had he known the twins' weak point was their lower stance?

Though stunned, she didn't dwell on it. Ultimately, she had stabilized the situation for the Rhodes family.

Butch and Spike crawled toward Aidan, trembling as they collapsed at his feet. "Sir, we've failed you…"

Aidan's expression remained impassive. He spat, "If you know you're useless, then there's only one thing left to do—die." He brought both hands down hard, smashing their heads.

Aidan had mercilessly executed his apprentices, leaving the Rhodes family stunned and horrified.

Jameson shouted, his voice burning with rage, "Mr. Haywood Senior, you're a monster! You just killed your own apprentices! You're not a man—you're a goddamn beast!"

Aidan's face remained cold. "To a martial artist, the eyes are everything—lose them, and your future is finished."

Kenny quickly offered flattery. "Mr. Haywood Senior, your ruthlessness is unmatched. No one in the martial world could compare!"

Aidan rolled his wrists, warming up. "Kenny, don't flatter me. My apprentices' deaths won't be in vain—do you really think I'm footing the bill for this? I came here for your benefit, but all the damage I took? You and your daughter will pay for it."

He didn't attack immediately. Instead, he shot a meaningful glance at Kenny and Sherilyn, his expression dripping with amusement.

Kenny hurried to reply, "Mr. Haywood Senior, once I become head of the Rhodes family, I'll make sure every loss you suffered is repaid in full."

Sherilyn added, "And the Goldings will back you too. We won't short you a single cent, Mr. Haywood."

Aidan's gaze snapped to Tiana, his voice low and venomous. "Tiana, you worthless bitch. Now it's time I taught you a lesson. Don't worry—I won't kill you right away. I'll cripple you first. Then, in front of your entire family, I'll rape you before I end your life!"

Tiana's face twisted with shame and fury. "You filthy mutt! Keep dreaming! You call yourself a martial arts master? You're nothing but scum!"

Jameson growled, his voice like ice. "If you want to touch my wife, you'll have to go through me first!"

With a roar that shook the hall, Aidan launched himself forward, fists like iron boulders, crashing down on Tiana's chest.

Tiana clenched her teeth, already breathless. The pressure was overwhelming; the gap between them was a chasm. However, the Rhodes family was behind her. There was no retreat. She could only brace for impact and push forward. Simultaneously, she shouted, "Andrew! If you've got even a shred of decency, if you still care about the Rhodes family, then get my daughter and my husband out of here—now!"
