Chapter 811
They chatted idly on the way back. Before long, they arrived in downtown Jayrodale, and Andrew drove straight to the Rhodes Corporation building, pulling up in front.
A security guard jogged over with a big smile. โMr. Lloyd, youโre back!โ
As Andrew and Shiloh stepped out of the car, he handed over the keys to the guard and said, โPark it for me.โ
The companyโs security guards practically worshiped Andrew now. Their respect for him was just as strong compared to Tianaโs.
โOf course, Mr. Lloyd, donโt worry! Iโll take good care of your car!โ
Just then, a weak knocking sound came from the trunk, along with what sounded like muffled cursing. However, with the noise of traffic all around, it was hard to make out.
The security guard frowned and asked, โUhโฆ Mr. Lloyd, I think somethingโs moving in the trunk.โ
Andrew waved it off. โWe picked up a wild boar on the way back. The kind that roams the mountainsโmean as hell.โ
The security guardโs eyes widened. โA wild boar? Oh man, those things can fight tigers! Youโre incredible, Mr. Lloyd!โ
Andrew nodded seriously. โYou should probably call a few guys over before opening the trunk. Donโt want it going berserk on you. By the way, wild boar meat is amazingโgreat for BBQ. You guys should clean it up for me, and Iโll treat everyone to a feast later.โ
The security guard grinned so wide his cheeks practically split. โHaha! Mr. Lloyd, youโre the best! Leave it to us!โ
Andrew gave him an approving nod, then headed inside the building with Shiloh.
Shiloh glanced back at the car, her brows slightly furrowed. โโMr. Lloyd, do you have a grudge against that guy named Michael?โ
Andrew chuckled. โOf course. A deep one.โ
Shiloh thought for a moment before casually saying, โDo you want me to kill him? Itโll only cost you ten grand.โ
Andrew twitched. โShiloh, are you really that desperate for money?โ
Shiloh answered seriously, โObviously. Why else would I jump at the 20 million dollars you offered? Honestly, I still donโt completely trust you. But with that kind of money, I had no choice but to take the risk.โ
Andrew was at a loss for words. She was a full-fledged martial kingโan unstoppable force who could dominate anywhere. If she wanted, the elite families of Jayrodale would worship her. Even at the state level, hell, across the entire southern martial arts world, she could live like royalty.
Instead, Shiloh was a blank slate with no memories, no concept of the modern world, and no idea how to navigate it. That made her an easy target for con artists and dangerous people.
It was almost tragic for a martial king to be struggling to make ends meet.
Andrew said, โShiloh, you donโt have to worry about money anymore. If you need it, Iโll give it to you.โ
As they stepped into the elevator, Shiloh glanced at him and shook her head. โNo need. I donโt like owing people. Besides, we just met. If youโre being this generous for no reason, I have to wonder what you want from me.โ Andrew felt a headache coming on. He should have known Shiloh was not easy to fool. In truth, he did have an agendaโhe wanted to keep this terrifying martial king close.
If things ever went south, he would just send her in like a human nuke, and his problem would be solved. Nonetheless, it was clear that trying to sweet-talk this blank-slate-yet-sharp-as-hell woman was not going to work.
Shiloh might not remember her past or know how to blend into modern society, but she was not a stupid person.
