Chapter 2091
Andrew looked at him coldly. “Who said I didn’t get anything out of this? At the very least, I taught a ruthless, ungrateful bastard like you a lesson you’ll never forget. Eric was willing to let you go, but you were heartless enough to strike him down.”
He continued, “Henry, you’d better pray that I don’t make it out of the McDaniel family estate today. Because if I do, you know damn well I’ll make your life a living hell!”
Henry’s face turned pale for a moment. However, that pallor was quickly replaced by rage and venomous hatred.
He said, “Fine, I’ll admit that I’m no match for you right now. But Andrew, you still have to make it out of here alive first.”
He scoffed and added, “Whether it’s Mr. McDaniel Senior or the High Priest, either one of them is more than capable of killing you. Not to mention, there’s no way in hell I’m letting you walk out of here alive. I’d rather give up on capturing the saintess than let you live to become a future threat!”
Nicholas stepped forward, his voice stern. “Andrew, considering you’re just a young man who’s new to the McDaniel family estate, I’ll give you one chance.
“As long as you step aside right now and don’t interfere in my family business, then everything that happened here can be forgotten. I give you my word as the head of the McDaniel family: we’ll let bygones be bygones!”
Andrew glanced at him sideways, a mocking smile playing at the corners of his mouth. “Mr. McDaniel Senior, do you really think I’m some three-year-old kid? That kind of talk might work on children, but it won’t work on me.
“Today I’ve discovered your McDaniel family’s conspiracy with the Crimson Flame Cult, and your secret of hiding Shiloh. You think you’d let me go? Mr. McDaniel Senior, drop the act. What you’re really thinking is that once I step aside, you’ll launch a full attack!”
Nicholas had not expected Andrew to see through his intentions so easily. His expression turned vicious, his gaze filled with malice.
He growled, “Since you’ve already figured out what I’m thinking, then you can die! That’s right… Today, neither you nor Henry will leave the McDaniel family estate alive!”
Alistair’s aged voice rang out quickly. “Dorian, you’ve finally arrived! Wipe them all out for me. Hold them down long enough, and I’ll finish the ritual to make the saintess ours. Do that, and the cult leader will reward you beyond your dreams.”
As his words faded, a towering figure stepped out from the shadowed hall. The man looked like a giant, chains still dangling from his massive arms, clanking with every stride. His breath came out in a frosty white mist as he advanced, each step shaking the ground.
He strode directly toward Andrew, his fist shooting out like a raging flood. He roared, “This one is mine! Your Eminence, this will be my final mission. As long as the saintess submits to the holy sect, from then on, I, Dorian Haynes, will be a free man, no longer a prisoner of the Crimson Flame Cult!”
Alistair threw back his head and laughed. “Excellent! Today, kill everyone here who needs to be killed, and you’ll have your freedom!”
Eric’s legs trembled, and he nearly lost his footing. There were so many martial saints crammed into such a small space, and he had never in his life faced such a desperate, hopeless situation. It felt like the world itself had sealed every path of escape.
He could not help but look up and was stunned by what he saw.
Andrew stood beside him, his expression calm, as if this were just another ordinary day. He lowered his head slightly, glanced at Eric, and let out a faint, easy smile. “Don’t worry, we’re not going to die.”
