Chapter 417
Seeing that everything was settled, and Natasha had no objections, Andrew asked, “Is there anything else? If not, I need to head back.”
Natasha replied seriously, “Oh, darling, there’s one more thing. Although Atlas' Northern District has fallen apart, several of his top fighters have gathered over 100 followers and are starting to gain influence again.”
“When it comes to eliminating threats completely, you and Dylan are more skilled than I am,” Andrew replied calmly. “From now on, you don’t need my approval for these matters–just discuss it between yourselves.”
Natasha flashed a seductive smile. “Perfect, that’s exactly what I wanted to hear.”
Andrew shook his head, thinking how Natasha truly lived up to her Black Widow nickname. With him, she was charming and submissive, even offering to warm his bed, but as a crime lord, she definitely had blood on her hands.
It was necessary though. How else could a beautiful widow establish her position and protect her West End territory without being ruthless? From Andrew’s perspective, her submission to him was only because of his overwhelming power.
Hence, Andrew didn’t want to stop Natasha from clearing out Northern District’s remnants. In the underground world, that was simply how things worked–the strong dominated the weak.
Or rather, that was how the entire world operated–those with power always had the final say.
Later, Andrew left West End with the Aurora Lotus but did not return to Jayrodale General Hospital. Instead, he headed straight to Rhodes Corporation.
While Andrew was busy dealing with Ernest earlier, Lauren had called him several times. He had not had the chance to ask what the temptress wanted, but he had learned from Marcus that Lauren was in trouble and needed help. So, he decided to go and ask her personally.
After parking his car, Andrew strode toward Rhodes Corporation’s entrance.
“Well, well, a mere doctor driving a G-Wagon worth over 200 grand. Andrew, you’ve really mastered the art of gold digging–even I’m jealous!”
Michael appeared out of nowhere with about a dozen corporate executives, looking smug.
Andrew gave him a quick glance and said flatly, “Mr. Rhodes, have you already forgotten the lesson from last time? Wasn’t that beating at your hotel enough?”
Michael’s face darkened at the reminder of his humiliation. “Andrew, I know you had something to do with Atlas roughing me up that day.”
Andrew smiled. “Of course I did. To be honest, Mr. Rhodes, I was the one who orchestrated Atlas' raid on your hotel that day.”
Michael exploded with rage, veins bulging on his forehead. He snarled, “Andrew, you’d better watch yourself. You probably don’t know this, but I’m now the CEO of Rhodes Corporation. With my power, crushing you would be child’s play.”
He had expected Andrew to be shocked and frightened by his new position, but all he saw was Andrew looking at him like he was an idiot.
“Sorry, but why should I care that you’re Rhodes Corporation’s CEO?” Andrew asked mockingly. “Is being Rhodes Corporation’s CEO supposed to be impressive?”
Michael froze, then burst into laughter. “Ladies and gentlemen, did you hear what this gold digger just said? He asked if being the CEO of Rhodes Corporation was impressive. Someone, please educate this country bumpkin about just how impressive I am!”
