Chapter 938
โName,โ Andrew said flatly.
Reuben dared not show any attitude and quickly answered, โReuben Davis. Iโm from Gabo Creek. Started training at seven, own five properties in Blumedale, have 400 million in liquid assets, and one illegitimate sonโฆโ
Andrew waved his hand, cutting him off. โI asked for your name, not your entire autobiography.โ
Reuben bowed his head, nodding repeatedly. โGot it, got it! My bad, sir!โ
Andrew asked, โDo you want me to let you go?โ
Reuben looked at him eagerly. โOf course I do! Who wouldnโt? But I get itโthereโs no such thing as a free lunch. I ended up in your hands, so obviously, thereโs a price Iโve got to pay.โ
Andrew gave a knowing smile. โNow thatโs the mindset of a real veteran. Youโre sharp, Reuben. Oh, and stop calling me โsir.โ Iโm not that old.โ
Reuben laughed awkwardly. โAmong martial artists, we donโt judge by age. We go by power. If youโve surpassed me, then calling you sir is only right.โ
Andrew did not argue with him. Instead, he said, โIโll let you walk freeโbut under one condition. Youโll need to train my people for a while. Especially these two. Get them to the peak of the senior grandmaster stage, and youโre free to go.โ
Reuben looked troubled as he pointed at Natasha and Dylan. โSir, you donโt mean those two, right?โ
Andrew nodded. โThatโs exactly who I mean.โ
Reuben muttered, โThe widowโs not a problem. But that big guy next to herโฆ heโs gonna be a lot more work.โ
Andrew said coolly, โIf it were easy, I wouldnโt be bothering you with it.โ
Reuben hesitated, then asked carefully, โAnd if I donโt agreeโฆ what would you do with me?โ
Andrew answered slowly, โThe Golding family and Iโฆ letโs just say weโre not on good terms anymore. That fat bastard, Elon, was tricked into eating shitโby me, of course. So, letting you go scot-free? Thatโs not happening. If you say no, Iโll have to kill you.โ
Reubenโs body went rigid. He immediately responded, โAlright! Iโll do it! Iโll train your people, no problem!โ
If Andrew was bold enough to mess with the Golding family and make Elon eat human waste, then Reuben could only imagine what kind of maniac he was really dealing with.
Anyone gutsy enough to provoke a family like that definitely wouldnโt hesitate to kill a semi-martial king like him.
Andrew nodded in approval. โGood. Then, from this moment forward, youโre temporarily free. Youโll stay here at West End and focus on training them.โ
Reuben let out a quiet sigh of resignation. โSo, can I at least move around freely?โ
Andrew said, โSure. But donโt leave West End. If I even think youโre trying to escape, you already know what happens next. And youโd better not contact the Golding family either. If I find out, Iโll end you without warning.โ
His tone was not cold or threateningโbut to Reuben, it might as well have been a bolt of lightning.
This man was no joke. That much was clear.
Reuben silently reminded himself to do what Andrew said no matter what anyone else told him.
Andrew turned to Natasha. โAlright, take him and get him settled in. From now on, you two train under him. Heโs a seasoned vet. Heโll teach you more than you think.โ
Natasha lit up with excitement and, along with Dylan, quickly stepped forward.
โReuben, this way please,โ she said respectfully.
Reubenโs status and strength were far above both Dylan and Natasha.
A semi-martial king was about as high as it got in Jayrodale. Getting him as a personal trainer? That was worth more than gold.
With the matter settled, the dungeon quieted down.
Andrew took a few slow steps, heading toward the next holding cell.
