Chapter 206
Lauren and Francesca arrived just in time to intervene.
Lauren warned, “Mr. Moore, this is Radiant Group’s territory. Please think carefully before. starting any trouble,”
“Who cares whose property this is?” Finley roared. “My granduncle is the leader of Hidden Dragons–no one dares to disrespect me!”
Andrew felt a headache coming on at these words. These entitled martial arts heirs always seemed to throw around their family connections.
Even though he had only encountered Finley twice, the idiot had used the same line over and over again—it was almost laughable.
The crowd backed away from Finley’s outburst. Though Andrew’s appearance had knocked Finley down a peg and given them some satisfaction, no one could deny that Hidden Dragons was still a formidable organization.
“Christie, let’s go,” Harvey urged, pulling at Christina’s arm. “Finley’s lost it, and Andrew is done for.”
Christina yanked her arm away coldly. She asked, “So you’re scared, Harvey? Andrew might be reckless, but at least as a man, he has the courage to stand up for himself. What about you? Can you really just swallow all those insults?”
“Christie, sometimes peace comes from patience,” Harvey said bitterly. “Andrew is being foolishly rash. Do you really think Finley is someone to be trifled with? I guarantee if we stay, you’ll watch this idiot get destroyed by Finley, and not even the Rhodes or Aickers families could help.”
Christina’s heart skipped a beat as worry set in. If even Harvey feared Finley’s background, how could Andrew possibly stand against him?
Michael could not resist stirring the pot and sneered. “Andrew, I have to say, you really are suicidal. Mr. Moore is the prestigious second–generation member of the Hidden Dragons, a VIP wherever he goes. Yet you dare provoke him? If I were him, I wouldn’t let this slight go either.”
Lauren snapped, “Michael, stop spewing nonsense. How exactly did Andrew provoke Mr. Moore?”
Michael laughed. “Lauren, your fondness for this pretty boy shouldn’t blind you to right and wrong. Everyone here saw your boy toy drive up arrogantly in his G–Wagon, nearly hit Mr. Moore, then push him–we all witnessed it!”
“Well, Andrew, mark this day because it’ll be your death anniversary next year!” Finley grinned. “Perfect timing too–my sword hasn’t tasted blood since I left Hidden Dragons headquarters. Time to show you Jayrodale losers what true martial arts mastery looks like.”

Taking a sword from his assistant, Finley prepared to demonstrate the power of Hidden Dragons to all of Jayrodale. He intended not just to kill, but to establish Hidden Dragons‘ power through the act.
Andrew’s eyes narrowed, cold and sharp. If Finley was determined to court death, Andrew was more than willing to oblige.
“Stop!” a voice commanded at the last moment. The crowd parted as a middle–aged man in a suit approached with his security.
Michael and the others immediately dropped their attitudes and respectfully greeted him.
“Mr. Vaughn!”
Silas Vaughn, the CEO of Radiant Group, was a mysterious figure with vast wealth in Jayrodale. His presence finally brought the situation under control.
