Chapter 2200
Harold still wanted to press for what the Cunningham family’s next move would be, but Mateo clearly did not want to talk further and abruptly hung up the phone.
Harold exhaled heavily and muttered, “At least the Cunningham family knows about it now. Whether Andrew continues his rampage or the Cunningham family acts, none of it will involve the Knowles family anymore.”
Relief washed over him, though deep inside, he felt exhausted. He had originally wanted to curry favor with the Cunningham family, which was why he had hosted their assassins inside the Knowles estate.
However, the moment Andrew killed Hakeem and Hugo, Harold’s thinking changed completely.
The Cunningham family might be a towering giant who could afford to lose a man or two, but Andrew was just as dangerous, a raging force that could crush the Knowles family without effort. Neither side could be provoked.
The best choice was to make his stance clear, then step away entirely before getting dragged deeper.
The next morning, Andrew did not linger. He set off north toward Chetvine, and this time, he brought Natasha with him. After what happened between them, it was only natural for her to follow. Besides, Chetvine had always been one of their planned stops anyway.
Chantelle had wanted to go as well, but her work in Blumedale could not wait. Derek was expecting her return, and duty had to come first. So, with no other choice, she parted ways with Andrew.
At the moment of departure, there was naturally some romantic action between them. Chantelle was quite bold, directly hugging Andrew and kissing him on the lips for quite a while.
Only then did she return to the Garcia residence satisfied, pack her things, and head back to Gabo Creek Province. She also promised that as soon as she had time, she would come to Chetvine with Lauren and the others to see Andrew.
That left Andrew traveling with only Natasha at his side.
“Darling, I want a kiss too, just like Chantelle,” Natasha pouted once they boarded the plane, pointing to her lips.
Andrew rubbed his temples. “Natasha, this is a public place. And besides, we were together yesterday. Give it a rest for now.”
Her cheeks flushed as she huffed. “I don’t mean that. I just saw how much you enjoyed kissing Chantelle. I may be your bed partner now, but I’m still your woman, so you owe me a kiss too!”

Andrew glanced around the nearly empty business class cabin. Seeing no one paying attention, he leaned over and kissed her softly.
Natasha beamed. “Now I can rest. Later, I can finally see for myself how magnificent Chetvine really is!”
Andrew smiled faintly. “Take a nap. We’ll be there soon.”
What he did not know was that the Cunningham family had already mapped his every move. This time, though, they were not going to act. One failure meant nothing for a family of their stature, but striking again would make them look desperate.
So, they handed the matter off.
The ones who picked it up were no less formidable: the Robertson family, another powerhouse on par with the Cunninghams.
The Robertsons operated just as simply.
“Belle, that cursed dragon from the Lloyd family will land at the airport in two hours. You’ve been idle lately, so go greet him. Don’t kill him outright; that would be too clean. Just cripple him so he’s worse off than an ordinary man. Sometimes, true humiliation comes not from death, but from suffering a fate worse than death.”
Isabelle Robertson was the Robertson family’s eccentric prodigy. Barely 30 years old, she was already a high-level martial saint.
That alone was not unheard of in a thousand-year-old clan. What made her unique was that she had mastered the family’s most lethal art, a technique said to be unstoppable even by gods.
Moreover, she was the only one in the Robertson family who had ever achieved it. Now, as one of their three top prodigies, Isabelle’s involvement instantly drew the eyes of countless people.
