Chapter 196
Finley’s attendants taunted Andrew with crossed arms, treating him like he was beneath them.
“What are you waiting for, fool? Didn’t you hear Mr. Moore’s order?”
“Mr. Moore is a very distinguished person. It’s your own bad luck that you heard his business in Jayrodale, so do as he say! Or do you want us to help you?”
Andrew frowned and spoke firmly. “Even if you’re from a martial arts sect, does your leadership really teach you to harm innocent civilians so casually?”
Finley snapped his fan shut with a sharp click and replied arrogantly, “Since you know I’m from a martial arts sect, you should understand that no one in Jayrodale can touch me even if I decided to do worse than just taking your tongue.”
Francesca’s expression changed as she whispered, “Lauren, Andrew, maybe we should leave.”
Lauren remained silent but seemed to agree with Francesca’s suggestion, while Andrew sat unmoved and asked calmly, “Ladies, is this Hidden Dragons really so powerful in the Gabo Creek area?”
Lauren explained, “The three major sects of Gabo Creek–Crimson Alliance, Hidden Dragons, and Onyx Serpents are all more powerful than even the most powerful families.”
Francesca added, “Business empires and wealthy families may have money and resources, but they’ve always been weaker than martial arts sects when it comes to force. Throughout history, those with the strongest fists often made their own rules.”

Andrew scoffed. “This is a society of law and order. Surely Mr. Thatcher won’t ignore this?”
Finley laughed derisively before the women could respond. “You mean Mark Thatcher, the mayor of Jayrodale? Who do you think you are to get his attention? Besides, I’m not afraid of Mark. Even as a government official, he has to respect my granduncle’s influence.”
Lauren said with displeasure, “Mr. Moore, we acknowledge your background, but don’t go too far. I’m Lauren Rhodes from the Rhodes family, and Dr. Lloyd is with me. I won’t stand for your bullying.”
Francesca added firmly, “Mr. Moore, I’m Francesca Aickers. My grandfather has connections with the Hidden Dragons, so please don’t push this further!”
Finley’s eyes lit up as he looked at both women with an unsettling gaze. “So, you’re Jayrodale’s famous beauties! What luck to meet you on my first visit,” he said with a predatory
smile.
“Since both ladies are pleading for this nobody, I’ll show mercy–but only if you join me for drinks tonight and perhaps some… entertainment afterward.”
A disgusting laugh erupted from him as he clearly let his imagination run wild. Instead of being embarrassed by his vulgarity, his two attendants seemed to revel in it, their eyes

Lauren snapped, “Why don’t you take that disgusting idea of yours elsewhere, you uncultured swine!”
Francesca added with disgust, “Is everyone from Hidden Dragons this crude and vulgar?”
Finley’s smile vanished as his expression darkened. “Ladies, are you looking down on me?”
His attendants barked, “Watch your mouths, you bitch! Remember who you’re dealing with!”
