Scarlett knew that a single moment of hesitation could have meant death.
"Eric, you bastard, help me!" Scarlett screamed in agony, her voice choked with blood.
Eric gritted his teeth and activated Phantom Mirage, teaming up with her just enough to barely hold off Adam.
Henry, still pinned down, roared in frustration. "Andrew! Where the hell is Andrew?"
Yet, no one answered him. It was as if Andrew had vanished into thin air the moment they arrived at the Yeager estate.
Scarlett spat, venom in her tone. "That little traitor must've already been executed by Mr. Isaiah!"
Just then, Andrew's figure burst from the rear of the estate.
Henry lit up with joy. "Knew it! You're not the type to go down that easily. Andrew, follow my command! Kill Adam, then help me flank Isaiah!"
However, Andrew laughed as he soared through the air. "In your dreams, Henry!"
Henry's eyes narrowed, confusion creeping in. 'Wait… Isn't Andrew supposed to be hypnotized?'
He realized that Andrew's smile did not look like that of a puppet at all, but rather like someone cunning who had been watching everything unfold, waiting to strike.
Eric shouted, "Andrew, follow my command and…"
Before he could finish speaking, Andrew had already rushed behind him and punched him in the back of the head.
Eric's eyes went wide with disbelief. He used the last of his strength to turn his head. "W-What are you doing?"
Andrew grinned. "What am I doing? Just giving Mr. Thornton's ungrateful son the lesson he deserves."
Eric collapsed to the ground, and Andrew grabbed him and headed for the exit.
Henry's eyes blazed with fury as he finally realized what was happening. "Andrew, leave him here! You bastard, so you were fine all along… You've been acting this whole time, haven't you?"
Andrew laughed heartily. "Bye-bye, Mr. Fischer! Hope you're still alive the next time we meet."
That meant he knew every humiliating thing she did!
She shrieked. "Andrew! I swear, if I live through this, I will hunt you down for what you did today!"
Her voice pierced the air like a banshee's wail.
Adam was casually beating her like it was a warm-up stretch.
Outside, Andrew sealed Eric's acupoints, tossed him in the car, and sped off toward the main gates of Goldridge. Not long after he left, a massive surge of energy descended upon the Yeager estate,
Andrew's heart tightened. He thought, 'Damn it! There's still a monster hiding on the Yeagers' side.'
He had to go immediately.
Goldridge was proving to be more dangerous than he had ever imagined.
