Chapter 274
Inside the SUV, Dylan personally drove Andrew toward West End.
“Dylan, this isn’t the way to South City, is it?” Andrew asked, raising an eyebrow.
Dylan explained with a wry smile, “Mr. Lloyd, we’re heading to West End. Tonight is a crucial three–way meeting between us South City, Northern District’s Atlas, and the last major underground power in Jayrodale–West End’s Natasha Vostokoff.
“I wouldn’t have dared ask for your company if it wasn’t important.”
Andrew analyzed and commented, “So the conflict between South City and Northern District has reached a critical point. That’s why West End couldn’t stay neutral anymore and had to step in for negotiations, right?”
“You’ve hit the nail on the head, Mr. Lloyd,” Dylan said admiringly. “Last time, you helped us take down Griffin, giving South City a chance to counter–attack.
“Now, neither Norther District nor South City can gain the upper hand. With Madam Vostokoff getting involved, I’m worried about potential tricks, which is why I need your help again.”
“Since I’ve decided to help South City, I won’t stand by and watch Atlas destroy it!” Andrew nodded.
There was another reason Andrew did not mention–it was Marvin’s intention to bring Dylan’s South City under their control.
Andrew was quite satisfied with Dylan as an ally. If they could unite Jayrodale’s underground forces, Andrew would have billionaire Marvin controlling the legitimate businesses while Dylan managed the underground operations.
This would make Andrew the ultimate authority in Jayrodale, both above and below ground.
Andrew had little personal interest in power and status–his bloodline already transcended such worldly concerns. With his abilities in medicine, combat, and various other fields, he could excel effortlessly. However, now that he was not alone anymore, it made sense to cultivate promising talents.
As the convoy entered West End territory, Andrew casually asked, “How does West End’s leader, Madam Vostokoff, compare to Atlas and your organization in terms of power?”
Dylan explained, “Madam Vostokoff, also known as the Black Widow, is the most inconspicuous of the Jayrodale’s four underground leaders. But don’t underestimate her- she’s ruthless. Over the years, whether it was Tony before, Atlas, or me, we’ve all tried to take over West End’s territory, but no one has succeeded.”
“The Black Widow?” Andrew asked, surprised.
Dylan chuckled bitterly. “Yes, and it’s a fitting name–she’s literally a widow. But don’t

group
“Interesting,” Andrew commented with a smile.
“Mr. Lloyd, are you thinking of conquering her?” Dylan asked excitedly. “She may not be young anymore, but she’s still stunning. While she might not be as perfect as Ms. Rhodes, older women know how to treat à man right, if you know what I mean.”
“With that kind of wit, maybe you should quit the underground and become a comedian,” Andrew replied dryly. “I’m sure Marvin could set something up for you tomorrow.”
