Chapter 994
โUnderground king of Jayrodale? Ha! Never heard of him. What kind of trash title is that?โ
The two guards did not just ignore themโthey started throwing out sleazy insults.
Showing up at the Fields family estate and demanding to see the head without even setting foot inside? That was suicide.
Erancescaโs face instantly turned cold as she looked at Andrew with an exaggerated pout. โAndrew, these dogs are seriously disrespecting me. You better make this right, or youโre not getting anywhere near my bed tonight.โ
Andrew sighed with a slight headache. When Francesca put on a show, she really committed to the role.
He stepped forward and said to the two guards, โIโll give you one shot. Tell your boss that Andrew Lloyd from Moonlit Apothecary is here and wants a word.โ
The guards sized him up, and one of them asked, โYouโre her man?โ
Andrew replied coolly, โThatโs right. Got a problem with that?โ
The other guard grinned nastily. โCome on, man, quit pretending. Weโve seen plenty of big shots in Jayrodale, but never heard of any underground king.โ
โAnd yeah, weโve heard of Moonlit Apothecary. Their bossโs last name is Lloyd. Seems like a solid guy. But donโt tell meโฆ youโre claiming to be him?โ
Andrew nodded without flinching. โThatโs me. No fake.โ
The two guards stared at him, then burst into loud, mocking laughter.
โYou two bumpkins must be fresh off the bus from some backwoods town! First, youโre claiming to be some underground king, then youโre suddenly the head of Moonlit Apothecary?โ
โBuddy, if youโre the head of Moonlit Apothecary, then Iโm the richest man in Jayrodale!โ
Neither believed for a second that Andrew was who he said he was. In their minds, the real head of Moonlit Apothecary was a legendary figure in Jayrodaleโfar too important for low-level guards like them to ever meet.
They imagined someone with a full-blown motorcade, flashing lights, black suits, and bodyguards galore.
And Andrew? He did not fit the part one bit.
Francesca giggled behind her hand. โAndrew, looks like no one believes you. Your reputationโs just not scary enough!โ
Andrew smirked. โIs that so? Yeahโฆ I guess Iโm not intimidating enough.โ
Two punches flew out in a blur, and both guardsโ noses crunched with a loud snap, with blood gushing out.
โIt seems like you truly have a death wish,โ Andrew growled. โFine. Stick around. If your boss doesnโt deal with you, Iโll make sure he takes your place instead.โ
The two guards screamed in pain and panic, stumbling and crawling as they raced back inside the Fields family estate. They went straight to the family head, wailing dramatically.
โSir! Thereโs a guy and a girl outsideโclaiming heโs the underground king of Jayrodale and the head of Moonlit Apothecary! They came here to cause trouble!โ
The head of the Fields family, Tony Fields, looked a lot like his son, Shawnโthe same sharp features and smug aura.
โUnderground king? Moonlit Apothecaryโs head? Could it be that Andrew guy?โ he muttered, first confused, then alarmed.
One of the guards nodded through his bloody nose. โYeah, the guy said his name is Andrew. But we didnโt believe him, so we asked a few questionsโฆ and then he attacked us!โ
Tonyโs face turned red with fury. โThe nerve! Showing up at my front door and attacking my people? Has he lost his damn mind? But waitโjust the two of them? No motorcade? No backup? No bodyguards?โ
The guards clutched their bleeding noses and answered in unison, โNo, sir, definitely not. We checked thoroughly. Itโs just the two of them!โ
Tonyโs eyes narrowed dangerously. โCall the familyโs private security. Youโre all coming with me. To hell with this! Someone dares to cause trouble at my house? Letโs see who dies first!โ
Without hesitation, he stormed toward the front gates with over a dozen armed guards at his back.
The Fields family was not considered a major player in Jayrodaleโat least, not until recently. However, ever since Shawn got cozy with Quinton from Blumedaleโthe wealthy heir with deep pocketsโthe Fields family had been acting a lot bolder.
So, now that someone was showing up to stir up trouble, they figured this guy was just asking for it.
