The slaughter continued as a crimson glow flickered in Andrew’s eyes.
The eight martial kings from the Driscoll family’s allied forces saw the situation turning dire and began fleeing for their lives.
Andrew snorted coldly and leaped over the crowd. With a single palm strike, he crushed the nearest martial king, painting the gates with blood.
George and the others were excited, with even crueler satisfaction on their faces. The fall of one powerhouse inevitably meant the rise of another. This was the perfect opportunity to completely crush the Driscoll family while establishing Andrew’s faction as the dominant force.
“Think you can run? Not a chance!” George charged to the front lines despite his age, intercepting the fleeing martial kings.
Aaron and Ronald, the two Dragon Kings, no longer appeared grim. Their expressions twisted into wild joy, knowing this was their moment.
The mighty Driscoll family, once a towering tree in Gabo Creek, was nothing but rotting wood now. If they did not rip out the roots, then old grudges would never be erased. But most importantly, when a giant fell, countless others could thrive in its shadow.
With the Driscoll family, one of the Three Titans, about to collapse completely, who else but them would reap the massive benefits?
“Kill them all!”
Logan, Tiana, and the others surged forward with renewed vigor. This battle had transcended everything else, and even though they were facing one of the Three Titans, no one wanted to stop now.
The only way to maximize their victory was to strike while the enemy was down and eliminate every last one.
Only Lauren, Francesca, and Aspen withdrew from the fighting, feeling nauseous at the bloodbath. Their hearts pounded with horror and pity as the Driscoll family’s casualties mounted in what had become a complete massacre.
Such a gruesome scene was too much for them to bear. Nonetheless, false mercy would not solve anything, so after a brief respite, the three women rejoined the main force as they pushed deeper into the compound.
“Andrew, you bastard, you’ve destroyed my family’s century–old legacy!” Maurice’s hair hung wild and matted, his forehead, face, and chest covered in blood, making him look like a walking corpse.
He hissed, “Even if I die, I curse you to suffer a terrible death and eternal damnation!”
Andrew approached him step by step, grabbed his hair, and lifted him up. “Maurice, I told you long ago that you reap what you sow. I warned you that the Driscoll family had picked the wrong enemy, yet you pushed forward blindly.
“Whether I will suffer damnation one day is uncertain. But what I can say for sure is that your family will vanish without a trace tonight. Maurice, you can join your precious daughter now. Do me a favor and greet the devil for me.”
With a snarl, Andrew’s palm slammed down toward the crown of Maurice’s head.
Maurice’s eyes widened in despair, filled with bitter unwillingness. He had too much left undone, too many answers never found.
Chapter 2023
He still wanted to know if Joe was truly his son.
He could not accept this fate. He would never accept it!
“Andrew, stop!” A piercing scream rang out at the last moment.
Andrew whipped around, flames seeming to blaze in his eyes as he saw Victoria being held captive by Mia, surrounded by George and the others.
Even so, Mia showed no fear despite the situation. She pressed a sharp dagger against Victoria’s pale throat, her lips trembling as she spoke. “Andrew, tell your people not to hurt me, or Victoria dies with me!”
Though she was making threats, terror was written all over her face.
Andrew dragged Maurice’s broken body as he walked toward her step by step, causing Mia to scream, “Don’t! Don’t come any closer!”
Tears finally rolled down her cheeks. Yet, it was not from remorse, but from pure terror.
“Andrew, just promise you won’t hold me responsible and let me go! Spare Joe, too, and I’ll return Victoria to you completely unharmed!”
