Atlas‘ mocking laughter echoed from a distance. “Before you came to Jayrodale, Northern District was already a dominant force. With or without you, it makes no difference. Also, Finley -I’ve been putting up with your nonsense for way too long!”
“Get lost, you pathetic son of a bitch!” he added with a sneer.
Left standing alorie, Finley burned with murderous rage. Atlas had slapped him, severed their partnership, and humiliated him publicly.
If that was the case, Finley decided there was no point feeling guilty anymore. Atlas, the so- called crime lord of the Northern District, was nothing more than a shortsighted fool.
He thought someone as petty as Atlas never deserved his full support anyway, especially since everything was happening because of a woman.
Meanwhile, Natasha and Dylan exchanged glances, their mutual excitement impossible to hide. The Northern District’s two pillars, Atlas and Finley, had finally gone their separate ways. Now, it was their turn to take the stage.
Both of them turned their eyes toward Andrew. Though they remained silent, the admiration in their gazes was unmistakable.
Natasha, in particular, felt her thoughts begin to race. ‘Andrew is far too talented to let slip away!‘
There was no way she could allow Andrew to align himself fully with Dylan and South City. Natasha was the type who, once she set her mind to something, would stop at nothing to get what she wanted.
As Atlas and his men departed, Michael hobbled into the hotel with help from his entourage. Overwhelmed with resentment, he grumbled, “Atlas, you’ve gone too far! I’m part of the Rhodes family, for crying out loud!”
Andrew glanced at him and smirked. “Mr. Rhodes, looks like you’ve been properly humiliated!
Michael glared at him with pure hatred, “Andrew, if it weren’t for your stirring up trouble, I never would’ve been punished by Atlas! Tonight, you’re not walking out of this hotel alive!”
Andrew shrugged, unfazed. “You’re welcome to try.”
Natasha spoke up calmly. “Mr. Rhodes, Andrew is under my protection now. If you want to touch him, you’ll have to go through me first.”
Michael hesitated, his expression dark and uncertain. With Natasha backing Andrew, he could not afford to act recklessly.
Finley ground his teeth in frustration and growled, “Mr. Rhodes, why don’t we join forces? No matter what, we’re taking Andrew down tonight

Michael’s eyes lit up with delight. “Mr. Moore, are you saying you’re ready to switch sides and work with me?”
Finley’s tone turned cold. “Don’t flatter yourself Do you really think someone like you is worthy of my loyalty?”
“What I’m offering is a partnership to eliminate Andrew. That’s it,” Finley clarified.
Though disappointed, Michael still nodded. “Fine. I’ll work with you on this.”
Before they could act, Dylan stepped forward, his presence menacing. He threatened, “I dare
of you to even lay a finger on Mr. Lloyd. If you do, I’ll bring every one of my men from South City here tonight and tear this hotel apart.

The threat instantly silenced Michael and Finley. A partnership between Natasha and Dylan meant combining nearly half of Jayrodale’s underground power, leaving the two of them completely outmatched.
Finley’s chest heaved as he struggled to contain his frustration. In the end, he had no choice but to storm off, shouting over his shoulder, “Andrew, you just wait!”
