Chapter 1851

Andrew sneered and said, “But what about you? You blame Mr. Thornton for not letting you gain any benefits. Do you really think you deserve anything? You old bastard. You’re ancient, yet your appetite’s still huge. Don’t even try to pretend like you’ve got a sense of justice.”

He continued, “Alex, aren’t you afraid? You stuffed yourself while you were alive, but aren’t you scared of what will happen to you once you’re dead?”

Alex’s whole body trembled, his rage boiling over. “You little bastard! Today, I will personally take your damn life!”

It baffled him that Andrew was refusing to beg for mercy and was even throwing insults as if he had a death wish.

How could someone so young be so outrageously bold?

Andrew let out a cold laugh. “What? You’re pissed now? Then come on. Step forward, and let’s talk this out. Was there anything that I wrongly accused you of? Or anything I made up?”

Alex’s face shifted from pale to purple as he charged forward, his aura surging, ready to attack. His killing intent toward Andrew had already reached its peak.

Andrew casually took a few steps to the right, as if he did not have a care in the world, and said, “Hold up, Alex.”

Alex stopped, his face dark. “What? Got some last words before I end you?”

Andrew calmly replied, “Funny. That’s exactly what I was about to ask you. Any last words you want to leave behind? I bet you still don’t know that I already figured out you’re the one who betrayed Mr. Thornton.”

Alex’s eyes widened, his eyelids twitching like crazy. Then, he burst into a cruel laugh. “You little rat. Even now, you’re trying to bluff me? Fine. In that case, I’m going to destroy you today!”

Andrew looked unbothered and said with ease, “If you don’t believe me, go ahead. Channel your energy and check your sternum point. Back when I was treating Mr. Thornton, I lit some incense.

“Truth is, that was no ordinary incense. The poison’s already seeped into your organs. Without the antidote, you’ve got no way out. If you don’t get it soon, then by this time next year, people will be lighting candles for your death anniversary.”

Alex paused mid-step, suddenly unsure. He recalled how, during Jerome’s treatment, Andrew had indeed burned some incense in the room.

However, that was usually done to calm the nerves. So, how could it be poisonous?

From behind, Scarlett reminded him just in time, “Alex, this guy’s medical skills are strange. You’d better check your energy pathways just in case.”

Alex didn’t dare gamble with his life. He immediately channeled his internal energy to check his sternum. “Huh? Nothing’s wrong. Everything feels normal!”

He was confused.

However, in that brief moment of hesitation, two golden needles shot out from Andrew’s hands in a crisscross, aimed straight at Alex’s face!

Alex roared in fury. “You little piece of trash! You tricked me? I swear I’ll kill you today!”

He had been played over and over again, and now he had completely lost it.

Calm and focused, Andrew did not even glance at Alex after launching the needles. Instead, he suddenly sprang into the air like lightning and charged straight toward Scarlett, who stood a few meters away.

Scarlett had been keeping a close eye on Jerome and had not paid much attention to Andrew and Alex’s scuffle.

After all, Jerome was the one she truly feared. So, when Andrew suddenly lunged at her, she was caught off guard and snapped, “You brat, you’ve got a death wish!”

She flung her arms out, unleashing dozens of claw-like energy trails that scattered through the air like flower petals.

Andrew did not say a word. The flurry of force ripped through his sleeves and slashed his arms, but he kept charging. Like iron clubs, his fists smashed through her attacks without hesitation.

“Die, old hag!”

Two loud crashes echoed.

Andrew was sent flying back, both arms torn open and covered in blood. Some spots were so mangled, you could even see the bone. However, he remained unfazed, not even a twitch.

Scarlett looked down at her chest in disbelief. Then, with a loud gag, she coughed up a thick stream of blood.

“Y–You actually broke through my protective energy shield! Fine! I’ll take your head today, Andrew!”

Caught entirely off guard by Andrew’s successful strike, she was filled with both regret and hatred.
