Miles' eyelids twitched, silently cursing that they were doomed. He knew that Calvin had lost his temper.
Having sat securely in the Peck family patriarch position for so long, Calvin had turned a deaf ear toward external affairs. He always thought that the current era was still the same as before.
In reality, Andrew was not just any ordinary fish in the pond; he was someone they simply could not afford to provoke.
Andrew put Liliana down.
Seeing this, Calvin became even more disdainful.
Was this weak-willed little punk backing down to him?
Liliana hissed venomously, "Andrew, my dad is standing up for me now. Let's see if you can walk your way out of this one!"
Andrew's smile turned cold. "Don't worry about me. I can take down your entire Peck family by myself."
Tiana's face tightened. "Andy, you're not doing this alone. We're with you."
Natasha, Dylan, and the rest of the crew also stepped forward, ready to intervene at a moment's notice.
Andrew slowly made his way down the stairs, his tone calm but chilling. "If Mr. Peck Senior wants to play, then I'll gladly play with him. Listen closely. No one on my side is allowed to interfere."
Tiana clenched her jaw but said nothing. She knew when Andrew got serious, no one, not even she, could stop him.
She had seen it firsthand back when they had gone treasure hunting.
An elderly man from the Peck family stepped forward with a grim expression. "Sir, let me handle this!"
Miles sighed but showed some responsibility by blocking him. "Uncle William, let me do it instead!"
William Peck snorted coldly, "Miles, you're the heir to our Peck family. It's not appropriate for you to act! Besides, I'm more than capable of taking down this kid. He's so arrogant, and he must be severely punished!"
Calvin said in a low voice, "All of you stand down! Didn't this kid just specifically call for me to take the field? I've dominated Gabo Creek Province for over 30 years. You think I haven't seen every kind of challenger? I'll teach him a lesson today!"
At this moment, Calvin was extremely pretentious and condescending. Behind him, nearly 200 Peck family guards all showed solemn expressions.
The dozen or so Peck family experts in the front row also nodded quietly.
