“Then dealing with the remaining side would be effortless since they’d be standing alone,” Andrew concluded.
Dylan nodded in agreement. “Mr. Lloyd’s absolutely right. We could see Atlas’s intentions.
from his all–out attack on South City he wanted to eliminate obstacles quickly.
Unfortunately for him, Griffin got taken out by Mr. Lloyd, which forced him to abort his plans.

“You killed Griffin, Mr. Lloyd?” Natasha asked in shock, studying Andrew up and down with undisguised curiosity.
This pretty boy had impressive guts and eloquence, and his intelligence was extraordinary, but Dylan was suggesting he had also taken down Griffin, Atlas‘ right–hand man.
Could he be exceptional in combat as well?
“Taking him down was pure luck, nothing worth making a fuss about,” Andrew replied calmly.
Natasha batted her eyes, smiling seductively. “Don’t be so modest, Mr. Lloyd. Even if it was luck, you’re still a true hero. I’ve been a widow for so long, and I’ve never met such a capable young man like you. I hate to admit it, but I’m quite drawn to you.”
Natasha was indeed bewitchingly beautiful. Though she was older, her skin remained youthful! and smooth, rivaling that of any young girl. More importantly, she possessed a mature allure that younger women lacked, making every movement captivating.
Combined with her powerful position and intriguing widow status, Natasha could make any young man’s head spin. In fact, even Dylan found himself somewhat affected by her charms.
However, Andrew seemed completely immune to Natasha’s flirtations. He simply cleared his throat and replied, “Let’s focus on the important matters first. For South City and West End to survive, I see only one solution.”
“Please tell us, Mr. Lloyd,” Natasha urged.
While she was indeed flirting with Andrew, she immediately became serious about West End’s survival, revealing there was more to this widow than met the eye.
“Right now, an alliance between your two territories is inevitable,” Andrew stated. “Without joining forces, you’ll be sitting ducks–neither of you can match Atlas and Finley alone.”
After a moment of silence, Natasha gritted her teeth and said, “Atlas is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and I almost fell for his trap. Fine, for West End’s future, I’m willing to ally with Mr. Garner’s South City.”
“That’s exactly the attitude I was hoping for when I came to East Side tonight,” Dylan exclaimed joyfully.
Natasha turned to Andrew with a playful pout. “But what’s next? Mr. Lloyd, you need to find

us a way to survive.”
Andrew’s eyes narrowed as he said coldly, “The next step, naturally, is to find a way to take down Northern District.”
Natasha frowned. “Northern District is powerful and they have Hidden Dragons‘ Finley stirring up trouble. Even if Mr. Garner and I join forces, our chances of winning a war against
them are slim.
“Besides, West End has always been neutral. I don’t want to break the status quo by striking first.”
Andrew was not surprised by this response. After all, Natasha had always been conservative in protecting West End, unlike Dylan.
Getting her to launch an offensive was impossible, so Andrew smiled and said, “There are many ways to take down Northern District–it doesn’t necessarily mean going to war with them directly.”
“Mr. Lloyd, do you have other methods in mind?” Dylan asked eagerly.
Natasha listened intently, her expression uncertain. If this pretty boy were really that incredible and could find’a way to destroy Atlas’s Northern District, she would willingly strip down and please Andrew right then and there.
